CHAPTER XLVII

ACE arrives at Sophie's quarters, brings her a new dress in the style of an evening dress, and then invites her to dinner.

Sophie happily agreed. The people around her have been very polite to her these days, even during the investigation, but because her identity has not yet been determined, this politeness seems cold, as An Nianrong said, the invitation can at least make her less boring today, and ACE is tall and handsome, can speak fluent English, and will be a good playmate.

Sophie's demeanor is quite lively, and she is really beautiful, and her well-defined 'lips' are impressive, and it is easy to show that she is attracted to her. In fact, after a short conversation, ACE had already begun to like this French 'woman'.

This made ACE decide to dress up for herself.

On the way back to the command center, ACE found a beauty salon, retrimmed his hair and beard, and even simply trimmed his eyebrows under the persuasion of the beautician. ACE told herself that it was just to try something new. When all this was done, he was surprised by the change in his appearance when he saw himself in the mirror.

Back at his lodgings in the command center, ACE decided to spend the little time studying the French side, and although it wasn't necessarily the topic of conversation tonight, he was prepared.

When the time was near, he changed into a rented evening gown and went down to the hall to leave.

That's when he got into trouble.

Ma Beibei and several engineers are cleaning the post-construction site with automatic cleaning machinery. Seeing the ACE, who was dressed up all over his body, Ma Xibei stopped his electric cleaning truck in front of ACE with a sharp turn, and then jumped in front of ACE, looking ACE up and down with a suspicious gaze. The oil-stained 'flower' one-piece overalls on his body were in stark contrast to the evening gown of the latest style and fabric worn by ACE.

ACE WAS EMBARRASSED BY HIS WEAKNESS AND SHOOK THE KEY IN HIS HAND IN EMBARRASSMENT.

"I have a party today, so I can't work with you, but I'll be back to join you as soon as I can."

Ma Xixi glanced back at the other busy people, and then shook his head.

"I don't have a lot of work, and I'll get it done soon."

"Alright, brother, what do you want me to bring you back?" ACE wanted to pat Ma Xixi's shoulder, but retracted his hand halfway. "Anything goes."

Ma Xibei looked at ACE. "You're on a mission."

"It's just a social interaction, what kind of task is this?" ACE'S EYES WIDENED INNOCENTLY, AND HIS VOICE ROSE HIGH. "If you have to call this a task then I can't help it, I don't really like this kind of task, if you want to go, you can go for me, you can rent a set of clothes on the road."

Ma Xixi nodded. "I'm not going to do such a mission."

ACE NODDED DEEPLY. "I knew you didn't like such a task, so I took it upon myself not to inform you, and I saw that you were interested in fiddling with the machines, so I didn't want to bother you. I've thought it through, haven't I? ”

Ma Xixi smiled, turned around and patted the electric car. "These machines are really easy to use."

"Look, I knew you were still having a lot of fun with these machines, so I'm here for these missions." ACE raised his eyebrows to Ma Xibei. "I've always thought of my brother. Now get out of my way, I'm in a hurry. ”

Ma Xibei did not get out of the way, but held his hands in front of his 'chest' and looked at ACE. EVEN THOUGH HE HAD TO LOOK UP AT ACE DUE TO HIS HEIGHT, HIS DEMEANOR SHOWED THAT HE DIDN'T TAKE ACE SERIOUSLY AT ALL.

"What's going on with the Japanese?"

Although Ma Xixi is not a talker, that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. However, ACE still wondered, where did Ma Northwest learn about this secret revenge operation?

"What Japanese?" He decided to play dumb to the end. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Ma Xibei reached into his electric car and pressed a button, the electric car made a sound similar to an alarm, and soon another car drove over and stopped beside them, Wu Xian poked his head out of it and looked at the two people excitedly.

"When are we going to start the Center Rally?"

"Let's start after cleaning up this place." Ma Xibei said a few words rarely. "Old Wu, tell ACE about the Japanese."

Seeing the 'color' of the faces of the two people, Wu Xian stuck out his tongue, eager to catch up and take him out of the car and beat him. Before this operation, he stressed to Wu Xian that he could not 'reveal' his whereabouts with Ma Xibei several times, but it was clear that these perverts who held electric car rallies in the empty space of the command center every night had reached the point of talking about everything, so it was normal to betray ACE.

"Oh, you mean yesterday's affair?" ACE MADE A SUDDEN REALIZATION. "I'm the commander, I'll decide what to do with it according to the situation, you weren't there at the time, so you weren't in the plan."

"Now you're not a commander." Ma Xibei looked at ACE angrily. "The current commander is Luo 'Men', and if Luo 'Men' were here, he would never do anything like you. You call it eating alone, and it's despicable. ”

THE LIE WAS EXPOSED, AND ACE LAUGHED SHAMELESSLY.

"I really didn't expect you to say so much, it seems that you are really 'forced' to be anxious." He scratched his head with his car keys. "I think I owe you an apology. Now you're satisfied? ”

Ma Xibei stood there still still not moving.

ACE'S EYES WIDENED AS WELL. "I warn you, don't go too far!"

Ma Xixi didn't even blink an eye.

ACE LET OUT A SIGH OF RELIEF. "Well, I'll give you a chance to support me at will."

Ma Xibei glared at ACE fiercely, and then turned around and jumped into his electric car.

Now there are not as many tasks as before, so everyone feels a little bored, especially when the mission involves dealing with the Japanese, which is the "'fat' poor" that everyone can't ask for, and now it is swallowed by ACE in one bite, and Ma Xibei's indignation can be imagined. If it had been Ma Northwest who had done this, ACE would have probably beaten him up.

Driving out of the command center, ACE knew that what he was doing was indeed very unrighteous and unseemly. However, it is really refreshing to kill so many devils by one person, and ACE laughed and sailed into the night of Hong Kong.

This French restaurant is not the most expensive French restaurant, but the style is good, the lighting and furnishings have just the right amount of sloppiness, and the red checkered tablecloth is more like the usual home style. In the brightly lit hall, people were eating quietly, and the occasional crisp sound of knives and forks touching cutlery could be heard in whispers.

Sophie was clearly dressed up tonight, and she was impeccably beautiful. 'Women' love beauty, and for many 'women', dressing up is actually a relaxing process. A well-dressed 'woman' will be confident in herself and appear aggressive, while a non-dressed 'woman' will be hesitant about everything.

Ace pulls out a chair for Sophie,

"I love this place." WHEN ACE SAT DOWN ACROSS FROM HIM, SOPHIE HAPPILY TOLD HIM. The sparkle in her eyes told ACE that she was telling the truth.

The waiter who came out of nowhere served Boehringer champagne in an ice bucket, poured half a glass for each of them, and then served the menu, and then disappeared into the middle of nowhere. The advantage of drinking wine is that the hotel keeps the bottle at a temperature not higher than minus 9 degrees and not lower than minus 6 degrees, at which the champagne tastes the best, and the pressure in the bottle is reduced to no more than one air pressure, so as to reduce the danger caused by opening the bottle as much as possible.

Sophie looked at ACE approvingly. "You're so generous for a dinner."

ACE SMILED AND SHOOK HIS HEAD. He actually didn't know how much this bottle of wine was worth, because it would be recorded in An Nianrong's account, including tonight's dinner, and the fact that he didn't have to pay for it made ACE feel full happiness.

Coincidentally, both men raised their glasses.

"Why?" Sophie looked at ACE.

ACE SMILED. "Champagne, of course."

The creamy foam, fruity red 'colour' of the Pinot Noir grape aroma flows through the mouth, and the finish lingers in the mouth as if it were tangible and qualitative, and it is not only fruity, but also rich in taste that good winemakers seek. Due to discipline, Ace doesn't drink alcohol, and at his most indulgent times it's just a bottle of beer, but he still knows what's good about it.

Champagne flavours are described as "calm yet vibrant".

Sophie played with the glass in her hand and looked at the light at the glass hanging from the wall.

"Did you know that until the nineties of the twentieth century, the consumption in the champagne market was still very 'mixed' and 'chaotic', and there was a time when people preferred good sparkling wines, and the quality of champagne seemed to be a big problem, so Boehringer published its own specifications and quality standards, and only used high-quality grapes and the juice that came out of the first squeezing was Boehringer's strength."

ACE SMILED. "I'm more concerned about which dish goes well with the wine."

Hearing his words, Sophie, who had already picked up the recipe, laughed. "Then you must like the bouquet of beef 'meat' roses."

"Ah, beef 'meat'." ACE smiled and nodded deeply. "Actually, no matter what kind of wine I drink, I have to eat beef 'meat'. I can live without champagne, and I can't live without beef 'meat'. ”
