The meeting place Wu Yue told me was quite remote. It was in a courtyard next to an inconspicuous street outside the Fifth Ring Road. There was no plaque on the doorpost of the courtyard.
There is only a solitary red brick two-story building in the yard. There is nothing else. The yard is paved with ordinary cement boards. Although it is very smooth, it seems that it has been removed from the cracks because no one has taken care of it for a while.
A lot of weeds have grown up, making the yard even more peaceful.
In the past, the gate of this courtyard was always closed, and pedestrians would not pay much attention to it. But today, it suddenly became lively. Luxury cars drove in, almost all of them Rolls-Royce, Maybach, etc.
Bentley and Mercedes-Benz S-Class, there are also a few red and blue supercars that look a little out of the ordinary.
In addition to these luxurious private cars, there are also a few very ordinary cars, but without exception, the license plates on them show that the history is not simple.
Xue Chen parked the car at the street corner and walked to the front of the yard. After confirming that it was here, he walked straight in. As soon as he entered the yard, he heard a rapid whistle from behind.
He turned around and saw that a Bentley was about to drive into the courtyard. He disliked him for blocking the courtyard door. After taking a look, he moved slightly to the side and took a step out of the way.
The Bentley drove into the yard unhurriedly. Xue Chen stood aside and took a few glances. By chance, the rear window of the car was open, and the person sitting in the back seat also glanced at him.
The people looked at each other.
There was a middle-aged man in the back seat, who was naturally very dignified, but Xue Chen did not recognize him. However, when the people in the car saw Xue Chen, although their expressions were calm, their eyelids twitched. In an instant, he passed by him.
At the same time, he nodded slightly to indicate.
The car stopped, and after the people in the car got out, they happened to meet Xue Chen again.
"Mr. Xue, it's our first time meeting you. Please take good care of me."
Xue Chen was walking towards the two-story red brick building. When he saw the man coming out of the car and actively greeted him, he couldn't help but stand there.
"Uh, hello." Seeing the middle-aged man in the car coming over and extending his hand, he also extended his hand and shook it.
"Mr. Xue, my driver was rude just now. I'm really sorry." After saying that, the man turned around and called the driver over and asked him to apologize.
The driver glanced at his boss, hesitated, and apologized to Xue Chen, saying that he shouldn't have honked the horn behind him just now.
Xue Chen was a little surprised. Although the horn just shouldn't have been sounded like that, he didn't care at all. He didn't expect that he would take the initiative to apologize to him.
"It's just a small matter, you're welcome." Xue Chen waved his hand.
The middle-aged man took out a business card and handed it over politely. Xue Chen didn't want to lose etiquette, so he also handed over his own business card.
When the man saw Xue Chen "making something out of nothing", a business card suddenly appeared in his empty hand. His eyes changed slightly and he took the business card in his hand.
After exchanging business cards, the two did not continue chatting. Xue Chen entered the two-story red brick building first.
The middle-aged man lagged a step behind, glanced at the business card in his hand, and thought to himself: "Is he Xue Chen, the man who killed Taipan Snake Odom and destroyed the Black Blood Organization?" He originally thought he would be a man with a body full of blood.
The man whose fierceness makes people shun him unexpectedly looks very ordinary, not much different from the young people on the street.
Xue Chen walked into the two-story building and met Wu Yue. It seemed that Wu Yue was greeting people at the door.
"Xue Chen, you're here." Seeing Xue Chen coming, Wu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Xue Chen would refuse to participate, which he really didn't want to see.
"Well, here we are." Xue Chen walked forward with a smile, glanced around, and asked, "By the way, Director Wu, where can I report the agreed travel expenses? Look, I have kept the air tickets, and
I think the invoice for last night’s meal will also be reimbursed for the return flight.”
"Ticket ticket..." Wu Yue twitched his mouth when he saw Xue Chen handed over a ticket and an invoice. He was speechless for a moment. He paused for a moment and then said earnestly, "As for the reimbursement of travel expenses, we will wait until the meeting is over.
Besides, don’t worry, I won’t miss you!”
Seeing Xue Chen's solemn nod, Wu Yue really couldn't help crying or laughing, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart. He just got 500 million US dollars from several international pharmaceutical companies, but he still had to pay for the travel expenses, even to the teeth.
It's not even enough.
The middle-aged man who came in later saw Xue Chen and Wu Yue talking about the morning announcement. He was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and he was also muttering in his heart. He was notified to attend the meeting, but he did not mention the travel expenses.
, and, who cares about the money?
Looking at Xue Chen's back, he became more and more doubtful whether the news about Xue Chen he had seen and heard on the Abyss Forum was true.
After Wu Yue's guidance, Xue Chen went up to the second floor, opened a door and walked straight in.
This is a very ordinary-looking conference room, with an ordinary oval conference table, ordinary green plants, and ordinary seats, but there is no doubt that the people sitting around are anything but ordinary.
There were less than thirty chairs around the oval conference table, and most of them were already occupied. When Xue Chen took a look, he actually saw two acquaintances, one was Chu Fenglong from the Hongmen Grand Hall, and the other was from Zhao Qiansun.
One of the three directors, Lu Guodong, and the others had their eyes darkened and they didn't recognize them all.
He doesn't know others, but that doesn't mean others don't know him.
As soon as Xue Chen appeared at the door, most of the people looked over in a short period of time. Their eyes looked up and down like scanner searchlights, as if they wanted to see Xue Chen from the inside out.
A transparent one.
Xue Chen ignored those glances. After walking over, he saw a name tag placed on the desk in front of each chair. His position was next to Lu Guodong.
"Director Lu, long time no see." After sitting down, Xue Chen happily greeted Lu Guodong. The two only met once, when they were traveling to Dunhuang.
Lu Guodong smiled and nodded: "Xiao Xue, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have been very busy recently." Immediately, he turned to the side and introduced the other person next to Xue Chen.
"You have never seen this person before. He is also one of the directors of our Zhao Qiansun, Zhan Luohua, Mr. Zhan."
"Mr. Zhan?" Xue Chen thought. He had heard of this man once, from Qiao Fuhai's mouth.
He remembered that when he called Qiao Fuhai at that time, Qiao Fuhai once said that Mr. Zhan had known in advance that a person from Yunzhou Province would join Zhao Qiansun, so he got on the train in advance.
Mr. Zhan naturally has the character "老" (老) in his name, and he is naturally quite old. He is probably over sixty years old. He looks like an ordinary old gentleman and wears very simple clothes.
If anything is unusual, it would be this person's eyes. They are not slightly cloudy like those of ordinary elderly people. They look similar to those of young people, very deep and clear.
"Little friend Xue Chen, I have heard about it a long time ago. I am glad to see you today." Mr. Zhan said with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Zhan," Xue Chen responded politely.
"Okay, okay." Mr. Zhan nodded repeatedly, then sat upright, squinted his eyes, and stopped talking, looking like he was half asleep and half awake.
At this time, the conference room was almost full of people.
Xue Chen took a glance and saw that the middle-aged man he met downstairs was sitting opposite him. The name tag in front of him said Jin Fuli. He couldn't help but casually asked Liu Guodong about this Jin Fuli.
Which organization is it from?
"Oh, he doesn't belong to any organization, but he has reported it to the Ministry of National Security." Lu Guodong said in a low voice, and then said something to Xue Chen, saying that among the nearly thirty people here, nine of them
They are from Hongmen Grand Hall, Qianlong Society and Zhao Qiansun. The remaining twenty or so people are all superpowers who have not joined any organization.
"Oh?" Xue Chen was a little surprised. He thought that this meeting was for people from the three organizations, but now it seems that it is not what he thought.
Lu Guodong also said that although these idle people did not join any organization, it was because they were very capable and had a career on their own. There were also some who were surly and were expelled by the organization without orders.
"You have to know that whether it is the Hongmen Grand Hall, the Qianlong Society, or our Zhao Qiansun, just because they are organized, they will consider a lot when doing things, just like a big ship. You have to consider the weather, wind and waves, and underwater
However, these idle people are like small boats and do things without much consideration, which may affect the harmony and stability of society. Therefore, this meeting is more for these people. The three organizations are just here.
Just by the way."
Lu Guodong's words finally made Xue Chen clear about the core content of this meeting. Immediately, he smiled in his heart. He belonged to Zhao Qiansun, but why was he named to participate? Could it be that he was not regarded as inferior in the eyes of some people?
Stable molecules?
Damn it?
Inadvertently, Xue Chen saw a scene that he didn't expect. Sitting on the left side of him at the end, there was a man who took off his shoes and was picking the mud off his toes. However, the people next to him didn't seem to have seen it and just went there.
Sit a little further away.
The man looked really slovenly. His hair was unkempt and shiny, and large flakes of dandruff were clearly visible, falling on both shoulders. They were all white. His upper body was in a vest with two ribs, and his true colors could not be seen in the strips.
His trousers were rolled up, his right foot was placed on his sitting leg, his head was lowered and he buttoned them carefully.
"That person?" Xue Chen was a little confused. This great master was also the best. Did he think this was his own hot bed?
Lu Guodong noticed Xue Chen's surprise, glanced at the man, and said casually: "He, nicknamed Long Er, is from Taiyuan City and has not joined any organization. However, this person is very capable. Anyone stationed in Taiyuan City
Large enterprises will all be extorted by him, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. Even a construction company under the Qianlong Society was extorted 10 million by this man. He refused to take the money and refused to start construction.
Claims to be the local emperor of Taiyuan City." (To be continued)
