Chapter 6: One More Drink
"Is it about the Whale Café?" asked Old George casually, taking a glass from the cup holder and wiping it down earnestly.
Xiang Yu was not surprised by Old George's speculation, tonight, apart from this matter, there was nothing else worth paying attention to.
"Old George, who is in a quiet corner, is very well-informed. ”
"Although this place is no longer as lively as it used to be, there are still some regular customers, many of whom are well-informed and talkative", said George Sr. who placed his polished wine glass in the light, and the transparent wine glass reflected his old and distorted face, "The wine glass always reflects the truest side of people, especially when the wine is poured into the right person." ”
"Heh, what is your truest side?" Xiang Yu asked.
"An old man who knows how to bartend. ”
"Old man......" Xiang Yu looked at old George, the passage of time does not mean the accumulation of a person's experience, most people, mediocre, throughout their lives, compared with their youth, except for aging, there is no change, perhaps, there is a trace ......of indifference in the eyes, that's all;
"It would be nice if you stared at me on a woman, but it would be a pity to use it on my bad old man", Old George's words interrupted Xiang Yu's thinking, "As far as I know, your sniper has gone off." ”
"Well, on the surface, yes. ”
"Heh", old George didn't say a word, and added a few ice cubes to the wine glass that he had just wiped clean, and the crisp sound of the ice cubes hitting the rim of the glass was very refreshing.
"The director assigned Xiaolan a task to steal the real performance parameters of the newly developed supercomputer 'Yi', which is still in the trial operation stage of country A. ”
"Xiaolan, is that man's daughter?"
"Yes. ”
Speaking of which, that man can be regarded as a favor to the current director. ”
"Well, that's why Xiaolan works very hard, and she hopes to win everyone's recognition through her own achievements. ”
"This little girl's thoughts are understandable, but," old George sneered, "these are all childish ideas, there is never unbiased recognition, whether it is positive or negative, if it is me, I will make good use of those special relationships." ”
"I don't believe George Sr. was so realistic when he was younger. ”
"When I was young...... old George suddenly looked at Xiang Yu, his squinted eyes seemed to have a sharp light, "I only know how to kill people, many of them are quite similar to you, and I didn't understand power or political ...... at all."
"Wow", Xiang Yu couldn't help but whistle, "Fortunately, I wasn't born at that time." ”
"Oh, the times are different, in the past, when the enemy died, he won, but now, the life and death of an individual cannot affect the overall victory or defeat. ”
"Yes, what really determines the outcome is the system hidden in the shadows, and the individual is just the tentacles of the system. ”
"Let's go back to that little girl, this task, in fact, is very simple", old George said disdainfully, "Most likely, it's just a meritorious project deliberately arranged for promotion and the like." On the one hand, he gives a little favor to his subordinates to make them more loyal, and on the other hand, he also seeks to gain advantage for himself. Soon the election of the first director of the bureau will be held, and the current director is very good at these tricks, and he himself is in the position. ”
"I think Xiaolan or Mo Yuan would think so. ”
"Mo Yuan?"
"Xiaolan's partner," Xiang Yu added.
"Well, I know this man, thanks to him, tonight, I have been blinded by the black light here for a while, and the guests are gone......"
"Ha, you don't have many customers in the first place", Xiang Yu smiled, "Besides, you can light candles, it has a lot of atmosphere, and it can attract customers." ”
"It's the first time I've seen a rival in love speak," George Sr. shook his head, "It's strange to be a child these days." ”
"Rival in love?" Xiang Yu argued, but seeing that old George had an indifferent attitude, he didn't say anything more, and instead said, "So, there are many troubles." ”
"Isn't it just a rewarding task? What else do you have to worry about at this level?"
"Facts", Xiang Yu said word by word, "it is far from being so simple. ”
"Oh?" said old George slowly, as the ice cubes stirred into the glass, "it seems that it is worth another drink." ”
