Chapter 098: The Truth
Life is sometimes very strange, for Shi Hu and Sandra, who have just divorced, and they are still rolling the sheets together, it seems that nothing has changed. Yes, there is less ring, less responsibility, and the title becomes "ex-wife (husband)...... Anything else?
The ex-wife spent the New Year with Shi Hu, ran to the roof of the building to enjoy the New Year's fireworks together, and also did a ...... Say goodbye afterward. Although there is no obligation to be together, I like it without changing: Shi Hu likes her intellectuality and charm, and Sandra also likes his self-confidence and disregard for past suspicions.
Then Shi Hu also had a bachelorette party.
It's not a bachelorette party before marriage, it's a celebration of the freedom to be single. The ring was removed, and there was no moral burden, and in the future, I was free to make an appointment with the girl. That night he chartered the Red Queen, called his friends, and madness, dollar bills, and girls' underwear flew all over the sky.
In the end, he didn't take any of the girls...... Sandra misunderstood him, he was not a woman without joy, on the contrary, he also had a lot of self-control, people are different from beasts, of course, he didn't take off his pants and get on it. Anyway, he announced that he had gotten out of marriage and was single again.
In addition to the proper handling of emotional problems, the cooperation with Natalia is also quite smooth. Beteyeva spent a lively New Year in the casino, and in 2005, she also got the information she wanted from Andrei, and left in a low-key manner later, and Shi Hu made up for it technically.
It's very simple to deal with Andre, they are friends, sit down and have a drink together, knock on the side, and the unguarded Andrei will say the same thing.
Specifically, the names of several people and the letters left behind by Andrei's father.
The name is easy to get a person, and the letter is a bit troublesome, but when Andre warmly invited Shi Hu to come to the door, and he readily agreed, it was easy to solve. Natalia has completed the task of "borrowing", and Shi Hu is her helper...... Finally, the scanned copy is in hand.
Shi Hu's actions already belong to "spying". Espionage is not an unreachable term, commercial espionage is everywhere, the most typical is the profiteer who steals private information, and the threshold is not necessarily very high, such as a large number of "swallows" in the former Soviet Union, who only exchange their bodies for intelligence.
Natalia uploads these materials to the Internet and then fulfills the obligations as required.
In Shihu's apartment, Natalia said solemnly, "What I am going to tell you is a secret that I will not allow to be told to you. β
"I've never seen you today." Shi Hu said.
"Ulyana Grinskaya was once a subordinate of a friend of mine, and she had a relationship with a Soviet agent who assisted in spying on a foreign agent, who was later confirmed to be a double agent working for the Chinese Communist Party and stealing Soviet military secrets."
Shi Hu was surprised, Natalia didn't ask him a question: "After the 80s, with the warming of Sino-Soviet relations and the slowdown of intelligence work, the CPSU decided to erase some people who affected bilateral relations, including the Chinese, and the specific implementer was Grinskaya. β
After speaking, Natalia emphasized: "I shouldn't have told you these truths, but you have helped me many times, and we are friends...... That's all I know. I can't guarantee whether it's true or not, and it has nothing to do with me from what sources you learned about. β
Shi Hu was a little dazed: "I know." β
Before Natalia left, she cared: "Sometimes it's a good thing for you to forget the past, after all, you don't have to bear it." β
"I know, thank you." Shi Hu nodded.
β¦β¦
Maybe Natalia is right, dwelling on the past is not good for herself.
The father was a double agent who served China, and his mother finally executed him? He felt that life was irony, and puzzles and doubts were written in his mind, why did he do this? In the dream, they obviously have a very good relationship, but the emotions that are inadvertently revealed cannot be disguised.
He had insomnia that night, and his mind was full of images of them.
I couldn't sleep in the back, so I got up and went to the living room to sit and look at the city that was shining outside.
It's too boring to think about it, so I picked up my mobile phone and made a long-distance call to China, which is estimated to be in the afternoon or evening, and the call was answered quickly.
"Hey, Nana." Shi Hu leaned back on the sofa.
"Hey, brother!" Nana was glad of his call, "I'm going to have a holiday in a few days, when are you coming?" I want to kill you! β
"Soon." Shi Hu smiled, "You've got the visa appointment done, right?" β
"Of course, I'm so smart." She's proud.
Shi Hu chatted with her and talked about things on his side, but more often listened to her, how did her parents not understand her, and always said that her brother was so good that she had to learn from him...... The girl is messed up, and she thinks which boy is good-looking, but a little naΓ―ve......
Shi Hu felt that this was his home, with his parents, naughty sister, a lot of trivial things, troubles and happiness. As for the parents in the dream, the past that is far away from him, the spy of hell, the belief of the state...... What does it have to do with him? He's just innocent!
β¦β¦
A few days later, Shi Hu went to Los Angeles.
The main problem is the technique extracted from him - strong hemostasis and self-healing. The latter is too miraculous for Shi Hu to understand for the time being, but the hemostatic effect, Onix's team is already working on testing, submitting patents, etc., and the value is estimated to be around $1 billion.
A billion dollars, if it can be sold at this price, a third of the super casino's funds will be settled.
The dream of a casino tycoon is getting closer and closer.
After arranging some things, Shi Hu got on a flight to China.
Still using Tiger Stone's name, the last travel contract is valid for one year, unlimited round trip, and when the time is up, he will renew it, and maybe get a three-to-five year travel visa. Because I didn't plan to go back for a long time, I didn't bring any gifts, and I was almost empty-handed.
After arriving, I picked up my dad back, unlike the warmth of Las Vegas, there is snow on the side of the road, pedestrians on the street look hurried, only the government units hang banners "Celebrate New Year's Day", there is no foreign New Year atmosphere, but it is no wonder that the Chinese celebrate the Spring Festival.
Shi Yuanchao said as he drove: "The girl has been counting down the days every day recently. β
"Haha." Shi Hu smiled, "It's normal to look forward to playing when she's still young, let her have enough fun this time, and it can also motivate her to learn a foreign language." β
"You're too spoiled for her, she'll get lazy." Shi Yuanchao said.
"It's okay, I'm just such a sister, if I don't hurt her, I don't have any other goals." Shi Hu smiled, he really cared for Nana.
"It's not good to be too lively and active, and I am disliked by my in-laws." Shi Yuanchao looked at him.
"She just treats me like a brother." Shi Hu shook his head and diverted the topic: "What's going on with that car repair shop, there's a way out, right?" β
"Of course, it is good to smash millions, the manpower is several times more than before, the technology is excellent, the new and old customers are endless, and the trailer industry is also a lot of oil and water, according to the current trend, the investment will be recovered for two or three years at most." When it comes to this, Shi Yuanchao is still quite proud.
Shi Hu complimented: "If you want to put it aside, you are an industrialist!" β
Shi Yuanchao smiled and waved his hand: "It's still far away!" β
β¦β¦
When Nana came back from the exam in the afternoon, she was yelling and pestering him, no matter how cold the weather was, she couldn't extinguish her enthusiasm, Shi Hu recalled that when he was a child, when he went out to play with his friends, there was always a runny girl behind him, and he couldn't get rid of it, and his friends laughed at him.
But time flies quickly, the slug of the year is now a girl who comes out of Hibiscus in Qingshui, but she is still naughty and lively, no big or small with him, and she doesn't let him go when it's late at night, Shi Hu picked her up horizontally and walked to the bedroom: "Go to bed quickly, get up early tomorrow and take you out to play!" β
"Okay!" That's what she likes.
The next day, Shi Hu drove her out, and the Wrangler really couldn't escape the clutches of his father, many places have been modified, and the comfort is barely enough, it is estimated that they are all in the practicality of off-road, Nana is also listing the evidence of her father's crime, and she took the money to "toss" Yunyun without telling her mother.
"Little girl, you love to sue!" Shi Hu smiled.
She hugged her arms and said, "This girl is chivalrous and righteous, and there is no room for sand in her eyes!" β
"Good chivalrous girl!" Shi Hu cooperated with her, parked on the side of the road, took out his mobile phone and called Liu Cai: "Brother Cai, my brother is coming to you for dinner!" β
"That's a great thing." Liu Cai was on the phone while rushing outside: "You always come to eat, I can't ask for it!" β
Nana saw Liu Cai coming in a hurry, and teased: "Yo, I can't even take care of my wife!" β
Shi Hu couldn't help laughing, and Wu Xiaoyan, who followed behind, smiled and wanted to pinch her face: "Girl, look at your mouth!" Am I such a general illiterate? β
Nana smiled and dodged: "Brother Cai, you married a good wife!" β
This is both of them praised, Liu Cai smiled: "Can speak!" β
After a few people exchanged a few words, Liu Cai said: "I know that you are coming by car, so I can also rub a car to save energy, and save myself from finding someone to drive back later." β
"Of course, get in the car." Shi Hu opened the rear door.
A few people got in the car again, went to a nearby restaurant, and sat down in the window box, Liu Cai didn't look at the menu, and there were a lot of dish names with his mouth.
Shi Hu smiled and asked, "You don't have to come here, right?" β
Liu Cai nodded: "Entertainment, people from all walks of life are familiar with each other, and if there is trouble in the future, there will be friends to help you take care of it, don't you see?" β
"Not bad!" Shi Hu appreciates it, and when it comes to expanding relationships, Liu Cai is indeed much more active than him, and it is easier to get ahead.
Shi Hu said again: "Since it is said that entertainment, I will also ask about the last investment proposal, how was the discussion?" β
"Let's have a few glasses first, and then talk about the wine and meat!" Liu Cai smiled.
Wu Xiaoyan reminded: "Isn't it better to talk about things with a clear head? Brother Tiger is mixed abroad, how can he have the habit of talking about serious things after getting drunk in China? β
"Yes, yes." Liu Cai understands.
"Our husband and wife have discussed, let's take advantage of our youth to venture more and accumulate some capital. I'm not modest, I've figured out a lot of the roads in this city, entertainment venues need to be covered, the two roads are a little related, the meat is cut out, but relatively speaking, the protection is much higher, and the profits are not falling but rising......"
Shi Hu listened and nodded frequently, Liu Cai's idea is very in line with the domestic reality, like he also knows how to do it, but he just lacks interest, so this kind of thing also depends on talent. He is optimistic about this Fa Xiao, and knows that although he usually blows a few words, he is still reliable in doing practical things.
Liu Cai also said: "In addition to you and me, there is also a friend who is familiar with business experience, and we can get on the right track very quickly." If you engage in some dry stock relationships, there are people on top of you, and gray things are easier, and I am not afraid of ugliness, which is the norm in society after all. β
Shi Hu also had a lot of confidence in him, so he asked, "How much money will go?" β
Liu Cai said: "The high-end KTV with hundreds of boxes is estimated to be about 10 million." β
"Ten million? That's a lot! After Shi Hu converted, it was only about 1.25 million US dollars, and then he suddenly realized the benefits of Chinese labor and materials.
"It's a lot, you're used to being a big boss, and you don't understand the hardships of the people!" Liu Cai made a joke, but Shi Hu's words also confirmed that there was no pressure on the funds at all.
