This is a country known as the Venice of the Middle East, the golden center of the world, and the bride of the bay.

The second largest emirate in the Emirate of Dubai, A-L, and a paradise for the wealthy.

Gold diggers flock to it, and it is rumored that 'even if you are a beggar in Dubai, your income is comparable to that of a white-collar worker in a first-tier city in China'.

Unfortunately, this is fake.

In reality, Dubai is not as glamorous as it is reported, and the paradise of the rich is real, but for those gold rush fanatics with empty pockets and eager eyes, this is hell. A real hell.

Su Ran and Chen Guodong had just gotten off the plane.

Yes, they were already in Dubai on Thursday, a few days after Wang Yanlian and Su Meng's nightly conversation.

The reason why it was delayed for a few days was also to give Su Meng a care, care, and care. After all, Su Meng didn't expect that he would be able to go abroad one day, so he didn't get a passport for himself.

In Dubai, the long-established visa-free policy has also driven its economy to a large extent.

It was easy to enter Dubai with a Chinese passport.

As the so-called foreign moon is not round, well, this sentence is actually quite famous. Those who have never left the country and have a contempt for their motherland in their hearts, this sentence should be a true portrayal of their mental activities.

Unfortunately, this sentence is also wrong, the moon in a foreign country is still the moon, even if you admire the moon on the equator, you can't make the moon a little rounder.

But then again, the sky in Dubai is blue, and there are a lot fewer clouds than the offshore area where Su Meng grew up, so maybe you can see the moon more clearly here.

There is not the slightest cloud in the sky, what a consequence?

Look at Su Ran and Chen Guodong, who are sweating profusely now, it is clear.

Su Meng wiped the man on his forehead and said, "I can't feel the air conditioner blowing in the airport, it's too hot in Dubai!

Chen Guodong said: "The heart is calm, naturally cool, and calm. ”

Chen Guodong was also wet with sweat because of the heat, outlining his strong muscles, but his face did not show half of the anxiety.

Su Meng glanced at it, "Aren't you hot like you've been fished out of the water, what are you calming down!"

In Dubai, the lack of clouds, to be more precise, the lack of water vapor in the air completes the magnificent scene of cloudlessness. Of course, the price of this is that the temperature remains high all year round. Especially in the summer, the temperature on the road can even reach the point where people can die violently.

They arrived in Dubai in June, when the climate was just starting to get hot. The air temperature exceeded 40 degrees Celsius, and the ground even reached more than 50 degrees. It's no wonder the two of them are so embarrassed.

Finally, it was their turn to hit TAXI, put their carry-on luggage close to the trunk, and the two of them immediately got into the car, and the oncoming cold air made Su Meng's whole body feel cheered, which was really cool!

I think everyone has had such an experience, such as suddenly entering the air-conditioned room from a hot place, the air conditioner instantly dissipates the heat, which is exciting, of course, in the same way, from the comfortable air-conditioned room to the hot air outside, then the situation is doubly uncomfortable.

The meter was opened, and it was not the usual 5Dhs (this is the dirham, the currency of the United Arab Emirates, which is roughly around 1.7 for the name of the dollar, pegged to the US dollar, so it is very stable), but 15Dhs.

It turns out that there are special places here, such as airports, and taxis are allowed to increase the starting fee. And we don't have this in China, and it's also a characteristic of capitalism.

Obviously, Su Ran and Chen Guodong did not rest to this detail. Of course, even if you notice it, you won't care. The reason is that this business trip is at public expense.

After driving for about half an hour, I arrived at my destination, Nasha Square.

gave the driver the fare he deserved, and Su Meng and Chen Guodong got off the bus with their luggage.

As soon as I got off the bus, I was wrapped in the heat wave again. Stay for a few more minutes, and the clothes that have just dried may be wet again.

didn't stop, went straight to the building opposite, Su Ran had already seen it before opening, detailed B&B information.

As for the reason why they were given temporary accommodation in such an inconspicuous place, it was because the first requirement of this mission was strict secrecy.

Now the homestay that Su Ran and Chen Guodong are arranged is also searched on the Internet. The price is not expensive, fifty Dhs a day for one person. And now their task is to standby.

They will be informed of the exact meeting time and location.

West Lake Spring 4th floor, this is the name of this building, a building named in Chinese.

Su Meng rang the doorbell, and after a while the door opened.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged uncle who looked very honest. Su Ran explained his intention to him, "Hello, I am Su Men who placed an order on the Internet yesterday, and this is my companion, Chen Guodong." ”

The uncle smiled: "My name is Wu Feng, welcome to you." ”

At this moment, a head poked out from behind the wall.

"Eh, little Mong, why are you in Dubai?!"

Su Meng heard the sound and saw that this person was Su Meng's father who said he would leave, and it was also a coincidence that this time his father traveled to Dubai and lived in his old classmate, that is, Wu Feng's house.

——————————————

Several people sat at the dinner table and exchanged information about what happened.

Su Meng's father introduced to Su Meng: "This is your Uncle Wu." ”

said to Wu Feng again: "This is the son I told you before, it's really a coincidence to talk about this." ”

Su Meng said obediently: "Uncle Wu is good. ”

Wu Feng was in a good mood and said happily: "I think we should make a table to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the two of you!"

Just do it, and soon, the right dishes will be slowly placed on the table, and of course it will be Su Mong who cooks. Wu Feng, he can only fight, as for Su Meng's father and Chen Guodong, they are just shouting "666" in the corner, and they can't help at all.

Finally, the dishes are ready.

Picking up the wine glass, Wu Feng said: "Come, for your safe arrival, a toast!"

"!" everyone responded.

The glass is filled with wine, which is made in a local winery in Dubai. The price is cheap. Five liters in a carton is about 60Dhs.

"Uncle Wu, isn't Dubai an MSL country? How can red wine be sold openly?" Chen Guodong asked his own question, when they passed by the duty-free shop at the airport, they also saw a lot of red wine bottles on the shelves.

Wu Feng smiled slightly: "If you have money to make, why don't you sell it!" paused, "It's just that you are not allowed to drink in Dubai." ”

Su Ran and Chen Guodong were surprised: "Ha? and this operation?!"

That's right, Dubai, an MSL country, has a very strange law. Bars, wineries, and even the open sale of all kinds of alcohol are legal in them.

However, if you drink alcohol, especially in public, you are violating their MSL rules. Arrest you, put you in jail, let you fine, you have nowhere to redress. It's such a miracle that some people believe that the legal sale of alcohol in Dubai is a deliberate attempt to give people an illusion and then arrest those who drink alcohol. But Dubai's official high-sounding reason is, "We are opening up the liquor trade to show that we are a cosmopolitan city, but you can't drink with us because it is against our YSL regulations." "What a compromise!

Without further ado, let's get back to dinner time. Let's tell me about what's on the table.

In the center is a plate of braised cockles (jiū móu), also known as serrated blue crabs, which are abundant in Dubai and are cheap, which is also considered a benefit of the near sea.

Next to it are steamed prawns, sliced salmon, and grouper with scallion oil. There are a total of 4 dishes cooked in time, all of which are seafood.

After the staggered and messy cups and plates, Su Meng's amount of wine was not good, and he drank some red wine and went up, at this time he was already confused, Wu Feng and Su Meng's father were no better, and most of the whole bottle of red wine was shared by the two of them. Only Chen Guodong didn't drink much, as a soldier's professionalism, staying vigilant during the mission is a basic requirement.

So in the end, the task of brushing the dishes fell on Chen Guodong, who helped Su Meng and threw him on the bed, and then Chen Guodong went back to clean up.

When everything was busy and the time was already 9 o'clock in the evening, Chen Guodong also felt sleepy at this time. There is a 4-hour time difference between Dubai and China, and now it is already one o'clock in the morning in China, and it is no wonder that Chen Guodong, who usually goes to bed on time at 10 o'clock at night, feels tired, and they have taken an 8-hour flight along the way, although they can sleep, but in that case, it is difficult to sleep soundly.

Lying on the bed in the double room, I closed my eyes and fell asleep in a short time.
