Chapter 452: Lack of Talent
On the side of Xinghua Island, after Yi Xingchen brought Scarlett and Angelina to the island, he did not arrange for them to live in his private villa. In order to facilitate their work, Yi Xingchen specially asked Yan En to arrange them in a business suite of Xinghua Island Hotel.
It's a normal arrangement. However, Angelina and Scarlett have two very different reactions to this new work environment.
Angelina has no dissatisfaction, for her, no matter what kind of work Yi Xingchen gives her and where she works, as long as it does not affect her family life, she is relatively content with the status quo.
But Scarlett's reaction was different, and she didn't seem to be very happy when she was arranged to work in a business suite in a hotel. For ulterior purposes, what she hopes most is, of course, to be able to stay by Yi Xingchen's side and do things, and to find out Yi Xingchen's news at any time. Of course, she only showed her face slightly at most, and did not express her dissatisfaction in front of Yan En.
It's just that although she didn't say anything against the arrangement of the workplace, Scarlett still tried her best to get in touch with Yi Xingchen, so on the first day they arrived at Xinghua Hotel, after they were properly settled in the business suite, Scarlett proposed to Angelina to meet Yi Xingchen and ask them for information on their future work.
When Angelina heard Scarlett's proposal, she didn't doubt him, she just thought that Scarlett was a serious and responsible person with a positive style, so she naturally wanted to follow her to meet the boss.
Scarlett, because of their work, already knew the address of Yi Xingchen's villa on Xinghua Island, so the two of them were going to go directly to the villa to ask to see Yi Xingchen.
When Scarlett and Angelina cross the central square of Hinghua Island. There was still about fifty meters away, and when she reached the gate of Yi Xingchen's villa, Scarlett saw a person who she had been dreaming about.
In the distance, James followed Liu Yiyi out of the electric car, and he tidied up his appearance. Get ready to walk into the king's villa to see the king. Inadvertently, James turned sideways and saw a familiar figure.
Is that her?!
At that moment, James froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning, and the next second, he didn't know if he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes, and then looked in that direction again.
Finally. James was sure that it was her, Scarlett, his ex-girlfriend.
Since he took over the hidden mission arranged by the organization, he infiltrated Xinghua Distillery and wanted to steal the secret recipe of Xinghua Distillery, but his deeds were finally revealed, and then he was fortunately appreciated by Yi Xingchen. was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but because of this. never returned to the organization, but because of this, he and Scarlett never had the chance to meet again, and even the two of them didn't even have a chance to say goodbye for the last time.
James once thought he would never get a chance to see Scarlett again. But I didn't expect it. At this moment, in this place, I saw her after a long absence.
"How could it be her?" James couldn't help muttering to himself, although there wasn't too much expression on his face, but his heart was agitated. But there are no words. Even, his footsteps subconsciously took several steps in the direction of Scarlett, and he almost walked over to grab Scarlett so that he could recognize her.
But he still held back after all, and the only remaining reason overcame surging emotions - he didn't forget that there was a Liu Yiyi beside him.
"What's wrong?" Sure enough, although James had already exercised some restraint, Liu Yiyi still saw James stop and felt strange, so she asked curiously.
When James heard this, he had no choice but to move his gaze back, retract his eyes slightly, and said to Liu Yiyi: "It's okay, I'm just thinking about how to report to His Majesty when I see His Majesty the King later." ”
"Oh, actually, according to what you just reported to me, it is enough to relay it to His Majesty the King once. Liu Yiyi looked at James, and then didn't say anything, just replied simply.
In fact, James's obviously some abnormal behavior just now had fallen under Liu Yiyi's eyes, but she looked around and didn't find anything abnormal, so although she secretly felt a little confused, she didn't take it to heart.
James thought that Liu Yiyi didn't find out her abnormality, and seeing that she didn't continue to ask, he was a little relieved, nodded, and didn't think about anything else, followed Liu Yiyi and walked into the villa together.
But Scarlett's heart didn't calm down so quickly. From afar, she recognized James.
She seemed to see James recognize herself, but then, she didn't see James make any moves. Of course, Scarlett didn't know that James's heart had also experienced turbulent fluctuations. At this moment, Scarlett was also stunned because she hadn't seen James for a long time, but she reunited with her old friend at this time.
Scarlett's mind was flooding with memories, and she remembered that the last task James received before he lost contact with her was to steal the secret recipe for brewing from the Xinghua Distillery. couldn't contact James for a long time, and Scarlett also had many guesses, but she really didn't expect that she would meet James again at the door of Yi Xingchen's villa. God willing, he's safe and sound!
It's just that Scarlett's feet are very heavy. Although what she wanted to do most at this moment was to throw everything away and run over to tell James what she missed when she had been parting for a long time, she was afraid that James was on a mission. Because only this possibility can explain why James is here.
Scarlett's heart was full of doubts, she thought about it and thought, what she didn't understand was that since James took over the mission to Xinghua Distillery last time, so much time has passed, no matter whether the mission is successful or unsuccessful, James actually has no need to continue to mix around Yi Xingchen.
James and Scarlett, who don't work for any country, they only work for themselves, are intelligence agents of a commercial espionage organization that specializes in stealing business intelligence, selling it to people in need, and also taking commissions. So, unless James is seeing the greater good. But what was he planning? Scarlett was eager to find out.
"Why don't you go forward?" asked Angelina, who noticed that Scarlett was staying where she was, and suddenly felt a little strange.
"I had a bit of a stomach ache and wanted to take a break. Scarlett said with an ugly face.
Angelina was shocked when she heard this, and asked, "Is your one here? Did you bring it? I have two bags in my bag, I can give them both." ”
"Hmm. I'll go to the bathroom. Scarlett pointed to a public toilet in the back.
Angelina looked at the villa not far away, nodded in understanding, and said, "If it's really uncomfortable, let's go back first, and see the boss tomorrow." She stepped forward and tried to help Scarlett back.
Scarlett clutched her stomach in her hands. Answer: "I can do it myself!"
Rejecting Angelina's support, Scarlett walked into the bathroom, and then, she looked at the bathroom to see if there was anyone else. After confirming that there was no one inside, Scarlett pulled out a small slip of paper and wrote down a phone number, an email number, and a room number.
Five minutes later, Scarlett washed her face and regained her spirits. Come out and meet Angelina.
James stood in front of Yi Xingchen and reported to Yi Xingchen the results of his investigation during this period of time. It has been determined that the United States is behind the piracy incident. It was the Intelligence Agency of the United States of America, which used profits to lure pirates to plunder Xinghua Island. If it weren't for Xinghua Island's early preparations, the pirates would definitely bloody Xinghua Island, and Xinghua Island's efforts are estimated to be in a big war. Heavy losses.
Although he had known about the conspiracy of the United States for a long time, James told the actions of the American Intelligence Agency one by one. and the role of the American Navy in it, Yi Xingchen still couldn't help but be angry.
"If we want to occupy a place in Blue Mercury and enjoy the benefits of resource trade between the two worlds, the United States is the hurdle that Xinghua must overcome. Yi Xingchen slapped the table and said angrily.
Yan En and the other guards were suddenly silent, and they even had to breathe gently.
"Your Majesty. Please calm your anger! The United States does not dare to brazenly attack us in the face of the world's condemnation. Liu Yiyi said.
Yi Xingchen nodded, agreed with Liu Yiyi's words, and said: "The matter of joining the League of Nations needs to be accelerated. Join the League of Nations one day earlier. We will be recognized by the international community, and the United States will have more scruples in doing things. If it weren't for the arrival of the warships of the Chinese country in this pirate incident, it is really hard to say whether the American fleet would have quietly destroyed us. ”
James and Liu Yiyi both nodded in agreement.
As people born on Blue Mercury, James and Liu Yiyi still have some understanding of the shameless actions of the United States in the past. The United States of America is a country that habitually conducts preemptive wars against other countries, and it is a formidable country because of its strong economic strength and full of arms funds, which can fully support one local war after another. Therefore, although some current political discussions in other countries are expressing dissatisfaction with the United States, they also have to have some concerns.
The advantage of Xinghua is only that they are in the dark, and the United States is in the light, and it is difficult to grasp the core of Xinghua. Under normal circumstances, Yi Xingchen does not want to make enemies with the United States.
However, now that the other party has put his mind on Xinghuaguo, the battle between the two sides will not end there. In the future, there will definitely be more secret wars.
"James, you have to be careful and cautious with both hands, Xinghua Kingdom needs a large number of agents and security personnel. Yi Xingchen said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best to serve the country. James replied.
"As long as you continue to work hard in the Xinghua Island Intelligence Bureau, I will not treat you badly. Yi Xingchen promised.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and swear allegiance to the King!" said James gratefully. Although James was once a captive of Xinghua Kingdom, he no longer resented Yi Xingchen or Xinghua Kingdom. Moreover, after working and living in the Firmament Continent for a period of time and knowing some things, he knew that Xinghua Country did not owe him. Even if he swallowed the ant potion, as long as he didn't rebel, it wouldn't be bad for him. Perhaps, in the future, he will be able to master the mysterious power and live longer. As a result, James gradually had a return to Xinghua and the idea of becoming a citizen of Xinghuaguo.
After thanking the king, James thought of the figure he had seen at the door, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I still have something I want to tell you." ”
When Yi Xingchen heard this, he was slightly surprised and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"This should be my personal matter...... James was a little embarrassed and a little worried, in fact, he didn't know how to define himself, thought for a while and said: "I used to be a commercial spy for Blue Mercury, and on impulse, I took the commission to steal the secret recipe of the distillery...... I have a girlfriend who is also a commercial spy, and I just met her at the door of the villa. She may have come to me, and if she has committed a sin, please forgive her for once. James used the fastest speed and in the shortest time to tell the cause and effect.
Yi Xingchen smiled slightly, and said to Yan En: "Go and check, who met James at the door of the villa." ”
Yan En took the order and walked out of the living room. However, he went out for less than twenty seconds, and then walked back and said, "Scarlett and Angelina are at the door, asking to see Your Majesty." ”
Yi Xingchen thought about it, laughed, looked at James, and said with a smile: "I think I know who it is." Well, let Scarlett in first. After a pause, Yi Xingchen reminded James and Liu Yiyi: "Scarlett, who is coming in now, is my personal assistant and has a good work ability, and I am her boss." When he said this, he naturally didn't want James to expose his identity as a king to her.
Scarlett walked into the living room of the villa and was slightly stunned when she saw Yi Xingchen and the others in distinct seats. Then, she recognized James from it, and there was a hint of surprise, but soon the surprise on her face disappeared.
However, the people in the living room, who got James's previous words, have been paying attention to her and can see it clearly. Liu Yiyi felt even more funny, and almost laughed out loud.
"Scarlett, are you all in trouble?" Yi Xingchen asked.
"Boss, we just arrived at Xinghua Island, and we came to report to you, and by the way, I asked how we should start our work. Scarlett pretended not to know James and said to Yi Xingchen.
"Scarlett, long time no see! I'm James. James didn't hide it, and took the initiative to greet her with a smile.
Scarlett was taken aback, she looked at James and responded, "Who are you?"
"Mr. Yi, he is my boss, and they all know your identity. James continued with a smile.
Scarlett didn't speak, but carefully observed the crowd and her surroundings. She didn't see the danger, nor did she find any signs of James being coerced, and said with a sigh of relief: "Boss, I deceived you, I'm sorry!" Now that it was exposed, Scarlett simply chose to confess and apologize. Scarlett joined Xinghua Enterprise for James.
"Okay, I won't bother you to catch up, you can go to the little living room next door and talk. Yi Xingchen smiled and waved his hand, and instructed Yan En to take James and Scarlett to the next room to catch up.
In fact, Yi Xingchen has no resentment towards Scarlett, after all, she works for Yi Xingchen, and she is serious and responsible, and her work is not wrong. Moreover, Scarlett did not do anything detrimental to the interests of Xinghua State.
Now Yi Xingchen hopes that James can convince Scarlett to work for him together. Xinghua annexed the East and left the country, and there is no shortage of manpower, but there is a shortage of talents who are familiar with Blue Mercury. (To be continued.) )
