XVIII. Eyes, ears and fists
"Gourmet?" Ye Mei wondered: "What do you mean?" ”
Shen Ye took off his pendant and opened it for her, "Another puzzle left by my father, I asked my teacher and said that the answer is gourmet, but I don't understand what this mystery means?" ”
Ye Mei's expression was stern, she got up and left for a while, brought back a silver pendant, and asked, "Is this my sister's?" ”
"Yes, it's Tingting's, but she doesn't like the ornaments so she hasn't brought them, and I'll keep them for her." She opened it as she spoke, and it was also a family portrait inside, but it was Ye Mei, Shen Ting and Shen Zhongqi, she took out the photo and looked at it on the other side and said, "Sure enough, there is also a ...... Isn't this like a riddle? ”
There are only two words behind the family portrait in Shen Ting's pendant: Red City.
Because there was a riddle in the first pendant, Shen Ye naturally thought that this was also a puzzle, but why was there only a riddle and no riddle? What is not specified? Are the contents of the two pendants a set? Is it "Foodie Red City" or "Red City Foodie"?
"It shouldn't be a riddle." Ye Mei thought for a while and said, "Your father has always been strict in his work, anyway, I rarely see him guessing riddles. ”
"I also think that the puzzles he designed are not really clever from a professional point of view." Shen Ye also said: "Anyway, it feels quite contradictory, I want to hide something, but I'm afraid you don't know." Aunt Mei, assuming this is not a riddle, just a hint, do you think it will be a combination? ”
"It should be. And I think the combination should be 'Red City Foodie'. ”
"How so?"
"Because ......," she laughed, "your father has always favored women over men." Once I asked him, do you like Xiaoye? Or do you prefer Tingting? He said that of course he prefers Tingting, and his daughter is her father's close-fitting little padded jacket. Although his love for you and Tingting is the same, he is more inclined to Tingting in his behavior and prefers to tease Tingting. Xiaoye, don't eat Tingting's vinegar. ”
Shen Ye smiled: "Dad usually likes his daughter a little more, what vinegar do I have to eat?" He looked at the two family photos and said, "In this way, it can be explained that the 'Red City' may not really be a riddle, but a direct hint." Because Dad's riddle is only for me alone. ”
"This is in line with the mentality of a traditional Chinese father." Ye Mei also agreed, "I still hope that my son will inherit the career, daughter, as long as she is doing well." Isn't it going to get married anyway? She laughed to herself at this.
"Assuming that the final mystery is 'Red City Gourmet', what does it mean?"
"That's hard to guess." Ye Mei frowned, "Red City looks like a place name, but how can you be sure that it is really a place name?" Even if it is, you know it's the original name? Is it an alias? Or is it a pronoun? In China alone, there are several places called Hongcheng, Tian/Tianjin has Hongcheng, Hebei has Hongcheng, there is Eji/Naqi Hongcheng, and there is a place like the Yellow River Chitao Ferry that is also called Hongcheng. Besides, it is not certain that it refers to place names, games, tourist attractions, websites...... It is called the Red City. ”
"yes." Shen Ye thought for a while and asked, "What about the gourmet?" ”
"Could the gourmand mean your mother?" She thought for a moment and shook her head, "Unlikely. She can only make it, but she can't eat it. ”
"My mother?"
"Yes, remember the first time I came to me and said that my craft was not as good as your mother's? In fact, it's not just me, there are only a handful of people in the world who can have your mother, your mother's cooking skills are absolutely world-class, I can say that your father only likes her a little more, her cooking skills are really an important weight, people who have eaten her dishes are full of praise, and she has created a lot of dishes, I have learned from her, but the same method is not as good as her. ”
"Is it that good? Do you really mean my mom? ”
"Not really, it's not about the chef or the culinary skills. Your mother can cook but she is not very interested in eating, she is not picky, and she does not listen to her comments on other dishes, and gourmets and chefs are two different professions. After thinking about it, she said, "But 'Red City' reminds me of 'Fang Cheng'. ”
"Fang Cheng? Where? ”
"Fang Cheng is not a place, it is a person, your father had two of the most powerful subordinates during his lifetime, one is called Fang Cheng, the other is called Lin Huang, your mother and I know them, in your father's words, Fang Cheng is his 'eyes and ears', Lin Huang is his 'fist', one is one Wen and one is martial, one is soft and one is strong."
"Do you know them?"
"I don't know very well, I've had some dealings, but now I haven't been in touch, when your father disappeared sixteen years ago, it was said that Emperor Lin was by his side, and he disappeared when your father disappeared. But Fang Cheng has always been in touch, but he also lost contact four years ago. Tingting and I have been taking care of us all these years in seclusion, no matter what we need, as long as we call him, he can do it, very powerful. ”
"Since my father called him 'eyes and ears', he must have been an intelligence worker?"
"That's right." Ye Mei nodded affirmatively, "Your father once mentioned that Fang Cheng ran an underground intelligence company by himself, I don't know what it looks like, but from your father's words, if Fang Cheng wants to know, there is almost nothing that can't be found." After your father disappeared, I also heard something in a phone call with Fang Cheng, at that time he was also looking for your father and Lin Huang, but he didn't find it, he lamented that he didn't expect that there was still someone in the world who couldn't find him. This tone also shows that his intelligence ability is indeed very powerful. ”
"What's the name of his intelligence company?"
"I don't know, at that time, your father didn't let us get too involved in his circle, and only said that if there was anything to help, we could come to them. I also turned to Fang Cheng when Tianba was established, and you have also seen many people express surprise at Tianba's intelligence analysis capabilities, in fact, our company's business intelligence department has only used the information that Fang Cheng originally provided us. ”
"Continued?" Shen Ye exclaimed: "That is to say, he did not carry out the follow-up intelligence tracking of the Tianba cause. ”
"Yes! It's scary, isn't it? Ye Mei admired, "This is Fang Cheng's ability, he not only knows, it's like a prophet, this is not a special function, but his ability to collect and analyze intelligence is so strong, at the beginning of the establishment of Tianba, I did not have a clear direction on how to enter the market, he provided me with an intelligence analysis report said: With the economic sanctions imposed by European and American countries on some countries in the Middle East, it will inevitably lead to the prosperity of the black market, just like the economic sanctions imposed by the United States on Iraq back then, Hussein used the black market to exchange oil for commodities, and whoever controls the black market at this time can basically control the direction of the funds of large financial institutions. He provided Tianba with a 40,000-page forecast report on the financial market, and I basically followed the analysis trend in it to invest and acquire, with an accuracy rate of 98%. ”
Shen Ye exclaimed, "Oh my God, is he human?" If a year-and-a-half-year economic forecast is enough, it's four years. ”
Ye Mei said: "Not only that, he predicted not only big things, but also many small things, such as his prediction from the turmoil in the Asian financial market and the sharp rise in the dollar to the European Central Bank to continuously cut interest rates to promote the economy in two and a half years." The fact is that the main interest rate of the euro hit an all-time low in May 2o13. He even predicted a reduction of 24 to 27 basis points, when the reduction was 25. It's terrible enough to be able to predict such a big thing, but even predicting how much it will fall, as you say, is really a god-like power. ”
Shen Ye was so impressed that he threw himself on the ground, "No wonder Tianba overturned so many financial giants with only hundreds of millions of dollars at the beginning of its launch, and there was such a god-like teammate." ”
Ye Mei said regretfully: "It's a pity that after raising Tianba, Fang Cheng said that he had another business to do, and then he lost contact with us, even so, we are still benefiting from the plan and intelligence information he provided back then, he is the real hero of Tianba, I am just an executor." ”
Shen Ye said with a smile: "Aunt Mei doesn't have to be presumptuous, he just provides information, but there are more things to do to implement it and make a decision." If you change to mediocrity, even if you give him a good plan, it is useless. If you compare Tianba to a game, Fang Cheng is a mage, you are a warrior, no matter how strong the mage is, there is no high defense and high resistance of the warrior, charging into battle, occupying the ground, reaping the fruits, no matter how strong the mage is, he is just a lamb to be slaughtered. ”
Ye Mei smiled and poked him on the forehead, "Little villain, your mouth is sweet." ”
Shen Ye asked again: "What about Emperor Lin?" ”
"I have a lot of phone contact with Fang Cheng, but I rarely see each other. But I see a lot when I meet Emperor Lin, he should be your father's bodyguard, but your father and him are not distinguished from each other, and get along like friends. I once saw them playing chess and quarreling like two children. He likes your mother's cooking, and your father often leaves him at home to eat. He is a very strong, tall, and manly person, who looks very domineering, but in fact has a good temper and is always smiling. When you and Tingting were born, he also hugged you. ”
"My father said he was a 'fist', so he must be very powerful."
"Hehe, isn't it amazing? I dare say it's the strongest person in the world. When your mother and I came out of school, he escorted you to your father's side, and at that time, I don't know what enemies your father provoked, there were killers along the way, at least six waves of men and horses, all light and heavy weapons, but they all returned because of the Lin Emperor's guards, no! None of them survived. On that occasion, I saw him almost kill a regiment by himself. ”
"Man!" Shen Ye exclaimed.
"At that time, your mother and I were quite scared, in fact, in the first few years of our relationship with our father, there was never peace, there were always enemies of one kind or another, guns and arrows, unguardable, but then we didn't care, just because of Emperor Lin, no matter how much danger there was, Emperor Lin's forehead seemed to be engraved with the word 'invincible', as soon as it appeared, it represented victory! Safe! Fearless! ”
"What a hero!" Shen Ye couldn't help but hear it.
Ye Mei said: "A good man with three gangs, your father can become a big man because there is such a group of capable people around him." Shen Ye, you also have to remember that it doesn't matter if the leader is strong or not, anyway, I haven't seen your father show any ability, but it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that he can make capable people serve him. ”
