"PIERRE'S RESTAURANT IS A DINNER, I CAN MAKE DO WITH IT, BUT WHAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A DRESS? OR I'LL I TAKE YOU TO BUY ONE?" HONG TAO DIDN'T INTEND TO SCARE HER, SCARE A PERSON WHO DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT, IT WASN'T INTERESTING AT ALL.

"Hey, hey, hey...... That's good, of course, but for the sake of you being willing to take me there, I'll help you save some money, my house is not far from here, I can go home and pick it up, let's see you at the restaurant in the evening. The woman's mind is really incomprehensible, she had to follow Hong Tao just now, and now she wants to run away again.

"That's fine, but you'd better tell your family, if it's too late in the evening, you won't go back, so as not to worry them!" Hong Tao can't say that he won't let her go, his habit of women is to try to respect each other's opinions, and he can express his meaning clearly, but never reluctantly.

"See you in the evening!" Ah Shan didn't say it, and she didn't say it can't be done, usually even if this situation is agreed, anyway, Hong Tao thinks so.

There were still more than three hours before the agreed time, and Hong Tao went to take a hot bath first, which could relieve the fatigue of the journey. I have to say that it is a high-end hotel, and even the disposable items in the bathroom are-loving products, and there are expensive reasons for it. After taking a bath, when Hong Tao fixed his watch, he then lay on the sofa and stared for a while, because it is likely to be another half night at night, and it is necessary to take time to rest and rest.

When the alarm clock rang, it was already half past six, and he got up, put on a handmade gray cotton shirt, and went out of the room. What is a formal dress or not, Hong Tao doesn't care at all, as long as he doesn't show his chest and belly, and he doesn't wear slippers, he thinks it's a formal suit, and he also deliberately wears trousers, which is already very face-giving. Those foreigners who come to Chinese restaurants to eat don't say that they all wear cheongsam and Zhongshan suits, so why do they have to wear suits when they go to Western restaurants?

THE 25TH FLOOR OF PIERRE'S RESTAURANT IS DECORATED IN THE 21ST CENTURY, WITH COOL DARK GREY ACCENTS AND CHAIRS IN CHERRY RED FABRICS, AS WELL AS STAINLESS STEEL AND CRYSTAL ACCENTS. Hong Tao has never been to this restaurant, the reason is also because it is expensive, he has only heard of it, and now he has the opportunity to confirm the quality here.

The furnishings of the restaurant are very tasteful, and Ah Shan's dress is not inferior, she appeared at the door of the restaurant at almost seven o'clock, a black off-the-shoulder asymmetrical evening dress fully showed off her curves above the hips, and she also deliberately chose a long style, so that the small defects of her legs were well covered. She didn't wear any jewelry, except for a flake of broken diamonds on her left shoulder, which was both a strap for a dress and a good accessory, and a pin in her hair was a piece of jewelry.

Sergei can really pretend, when Hong Tao reported his name, the leading lady was at a loss, because there was no name Sergei on the reservation list, in desperation, Hong Tao had to report his name, this time it worked, he was taken directly to a VIP private room.

"Oh, my dear friend, you are punctual, this elegant lady is?" When the leader knocked on the door of the private room, Sergei opened the door in a white satin-collar dress, and then hugged Hong Tao, not only on one side of the face, but also patted Hong Tao on the back hard, as if the two of them were such close brothers.

"Oh, this is one of my partners, she is from Hong Kong, I am not very familiar with here, just trouble her to bring me along, her name is Ah Shan, oh, English name ......" Hong Tao didn't think of how to explain the name Ah Shan when translated into English, so he could only let Ah Shan say it herself.

"Ashine" Ah Shan really has an English name, and the pronunciation is very close to her Chinese name, the meaning is also good, love sunshine!

"Oh, welcome to our Ashine, let me introduce you, this is Rats, my close comrade-in-arms, this is Yuria Grebenkova, Nina's cousin. "Sergei was not the only one in the room, there were two white people, a man and a woman.

The man named Ratz couldn't tell the exact age, because he was a little depressed, saying that forty was also possible, and twenty-five was also possible. He looks a bit like a programmer, anyway, he doesn't have the strong smell of Sergei, it's very wooden. The woman named Yuria must have been in her twenties, her blonde hair was combed into a big braid hanging down her chest, her eyes were a color of black not black, blue or blue, and her face was very small, a bit like a college student, very youthful, and generally quite beautiful. As for her figure, Hong Tao couldn't see it, because she didn't get up from sitting all the time.

The meal was tasteless, because Sergei and Hong Tao didn't say anything, and everyone just chatted casually about football, the Asian Games, Hong Kong's food and the like while eating. Moreover, Ratz and Yuria rarely spoke, basically not asking the master who did not speak, only there with their eyes lowered and concentrating on the food on the plate, only raising their faces to smile when necessary, or echoing the voice.

Hong Tao knew Sergei's intentions, and he had already made it clear when he introduced Ah Shan to Sergei just now that she was one of his partners, and she just came with him on the way. Presumably Sergei also heard the meaning of this sentence, so he kept talking and laughing, and chatted with Ah Shan about how to shop in Hong Kong, like a foreign tourist who came on vacation, and did not mention the rest.

After eating, Sergei asked Ah Shan's opinion again, and then the five of them went to the captain on the fifth floor again. It's a pure pub featuring cocktails and beers in silver magnums, and a jazz band in the evenings, with a classic décor and an elegant setting.

"Let me reintroduce you, Ratz is my accountant and he has already received a U.S. green card. Yuria is your secretary or advisor, and the two of them will be the ones you have the most contact with in the future. When she got to the bar, Yuria pulled Asan to the bar to pick up a cocktail, and that's when Sergei got down to business.

"You have a slip of the tongue, Yuria is your secretary or advisor, I want to have such a secretary, but unfortunately I don't have that blessing. Hong Tao corrected Sergei's miswording.

"No, no, no, she will be your secretary and adviser from now on, you are very blessed! You don't have to look at me like this, this is the basis of our cooperation, your party is by my sister's side, and my money will be controlled in his hands in the future." And I don't know much about you, so Yuria must be your secretary, she is another link between the two of us! Oh, by the way, don't worry about it, she has nothing to do with me, if it weren't for the big changes in the country, she wouldn't have finished her training yet. And she will be a good helper for you, she finished university in Germany, and is a double bachelor's degree in international finance and securities investment management, you should lack such a person around you, right?" Sergei's subsequent words made Hong Tao a little surprised, then angry, and finally helpless.

What is surprising is that this guy actually wants to arrange a line of his eyes by his side; angry that he has made the decision without consulting himself; helplessly, what he said also has a certain truth, since he sent the money to himself, in fact, he was in a passive state, and now he wants to get an equal status, this request is also reasonable. The most important thing is that he has grasped the heat at the right time, and now Hong Tao has launched a plan to march overseas, and Sergei is also an important part of this plan, and now it is difficult for Hong Tao to get rid of him.

"I'm not used to your self-assertive approach, can't I do it another way?" Hong Tao protested to Sergei.

"If it were at any other time, I wouldn't offend you in this way, and it would do me no good to annoy you. But you also have to understand my situation, I can't go back when I come out this time, and now I'm a mourning dog, so I have to have an awareness of being a mourning dog. You won't understand it, but I hope you'll be considerate of me. "Sergei apologizes to Hong Tao, or his explanation, anyway, he is still quite emotional, and Hong Tao has no way to judge whether it is true or false, and now he can only listen to it seriously.

"Since it comes to the issue of trust, then I have to ask you, what are you doing, we have to give each other the bottom first, otherwise how can we trust?" Hong Tao is really thick-skinned, and the most deceiving person is himself, but he still has to let others give him an explanation.

"Oh, you're worried about that...... Hahaha, it seems that I still haven't hidden it from you. Actually, I didn't deliberately hide it, it's just that my identity is meaningless to you if you know it. If you have to know, I can sue you now, anyway, I'm retired, it doesn't matter if it's secrecy or not, do you really want to listen?" Sergei finally understood why Hong Tao was always very wary of him, but he didn't make any trouble, he seemed to be quite happy, and he smiled very happily.

"As long as you don't kill me, then say it, I can bear it. Hong Tao tilted his neck and drank all the whiskey in the glass, then took a deep breath, ready to accept the blow that was coming.

"I'm from a secret unit in the military, but not the kind of intelligence you think. Internally, we call it the political department, and the main job is to identify the loyalty of officers to the state, and other departments have these things you think, but I'm not, really not!" Sergey finished describing his work in just one sentence, and it seemed that he did not want to talk about his previous work in detail.

"The rest can't be said?" Hong Tao's curiosity was stirring again, although he tried his best to warn himself not to ask more, but the reason is sometimes not enough. R1152
