Chapter Ninety-Five: Preparing for Advance (I)
Just as there is a quiet place in the middle of the city, and there are always exquisite buildings in the rundown, the only seven-storey building in Tawi, which is almost entirely made up of dilapidated buildings, is like a lighthouse standing in a sea of evil, proudly occupying the most central position in Tawi, overlooking the entire Tawi district.
About a kilometre drive from the Rembrandt Hotel, the number of roadside guards had begun to increase significantly. There is no need to observe too deliberately, even Fu Xiaofei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could already see that there were no armed personnel stationed in the sentry, and there was an obvious estrangement and vigilance between them. When inspecting the vehicles, they all take turns and fight separately, and while inspecting the vehicles, they are also supervising each other.
Looking at Tang Guoming, who was squinting and posing as a fake sleeper from the rearview mirror, Fu Xiaofei cautiously said to Tang Guoming in the Sichuan dialect: "This place is really a temple with a small demon and a big wind, and there are many people in the pool?" Just looking at a sentry, there are at least five or six different groups of people? β
Shaking his head lazily, Tang Guoming was obviously very satisfied with Fu Xiaofei's caution, and also responded to Fu Xiaofei in Sichuan: "And these five or six different groups of people are guarding the Rembrandt Hotel, what does this mean?" β
Frowning slightly, Fu Xiaofei replied: "This shows ...... Is the Rembrandt Hotel the only safe area in Tawi? β
Taking a deep breath, Tang Guoming sat up straight, opened his eyes and looked at the buildings outside the car window and the crowd along the street: "It's also the common trade area of Tawi City!" It is impossible for such a place where the warlords' forces and turf are intertwined, and there is no place where they can communicate with each other and sit down and settle the fighting through negotiations! From this point of view, the local auxiliary personnel arranged by the company for us are indeed very capable! β
Looking at the Rembrandt Hotel, which was already close at hand, Fu Xiaofei nodded a little apprehensively: "I hope that's ......."
As two SUVs slowly drove into the outside of the Rembrandt Hotel, the dilapidated buildings and garbage that had filled the field of vision disappeared. Instead, neatly built greenery and intricately designed fountains combine to create an elaborate landscape of green gardens that should never be found on African soil.
Staring at the armed men patrolling the garden with loaded guns and ammunition, wearing the uniforms of hotel waiters, Tang Guoming silently wrote down the route and meeting time of the armed men's patrol. Without waiting for Tang Guoming to take a few more looks, the SUV SUV had already stopped at the gate of the Rembrandt Hotel. A waiter waiting at the gate hurriedly walked to the side of the car, bowed down and opened the door for Tang Guoming.
Stepping out of the car door, Tang Guoming looked at Halbara and the others who had jumped out of another car, and walked towards the hotel door that was opened by two waiters. Behind Tang Guoming, Fu Xiaofei familiarly took out a few banknotes from his waist bag, and stuffed them into the hands of the waiter who opened the car door for him, and then hurriedly walked to Tang Guoming's side.
Tang Guoming, who strode into the hotel lobby, a middle-aged white man wearing the uniform of the hotel lobby manager quickly walked in front of Tang Guoming and nodded politely to Tang Guoming: "Good afternoon, dear sir!" β
Without waiting for Tang Guoming to say anything, Fu Xiaofei had already rushed to the white man who was waiting to greet him: "We need a full-time butler who understands Chinese to provide us with services during our stay at the hotel!" β
Still nodding politely, the middle-aged white man quickly agreed: "As you wish, dear sir!" β
I don't know what kind of hint the middle-aged white man made, but in the blink of an eye, a middle-aged Asian man who was also wearing the uniform of the hotel lobby manager had already walked quickly in front of Tang Guoming and the others, and nodded to Tang Guoming in the same polite greeting: "Good afternoon, dear sir!" What Chinese language do you need me to serve you? Mandarin? Cantonese? Or some other Chinese dialect? β
Glancing at Tang Guoming without a trace, Fu Xiao quickly responded in Sichuan: "Sichuan, can you speak it?" β
The middle-aged Asian nodded quickly, and also responded in Sichuanese: "No problem! β
As if to find out whether the middle-aged Asian is really proficient in various local dialects of China, Fu Xiaofei changed to a ridiculous Cantonese: "Is it really okay? β
With a gentle and humble smile, the middle-aged Asian replied again in fluent Cantonese, "No problem! β
Suddenly replaced with a mouthful of Beijing films that were also a little ridiculous, Fu Xiaofei then asked: "Can you find authentic bean juice with coke rings in this hotel?" β
There was no change in his expression, and the middle-aged Asian man also said in a tone of authentic Beijing films: "I'm afraid I can't find the bean juice, but you can try the coke rings - fry them at high temperature with garlic bread, maybe they can have the taste of the coke rings?" β
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Fu Xiaofei nodded with a big grin: "Mr. Xiong made an appointment and guarantee for our stay!" β
Bowing slightly, the middle-aged Asian man put on a solemn posture: "The room is ready for you - the seventh-floor view suite, please come with me!" β
Following the Asian man to the elevator, Tang Guoming and the others came smoothly all the way to the elevator on the seventh floor. Reaching out and taking out a chip ID card from his pocket, the middle-aged Asian man skillfully opened a thick door in front of the elevator for Tang Guoming and others: "There is only this set of view suites on the entire seventh floor, which can provide enough private space for gentlemen......"
After Tang Guoming and the others all walked into the room, the middle-aged Asian man closed the heavy door of the room, reached out and took out an electronic instrument the size of a mobile phone from his pocket, opened it and put it on the coffee table in the living room, and then nodded to Fu Xiaofei, who was talking to him: "It's no problem now!" β
Glancing at the electronic device that the middle-aged Asian man had placed on the table, Halbara's eyes lit up: "The latest voiceprint blocker?" Also has electromagnetic interference function? β
Smiling gently, the middle-aged Asian man glanced at everyone, and then stretched out his right hand towards Tang Guoming: "ChargΓ© d'affaires of the Tawei region of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association in Africa - Gui Maochao." β
Stretching out his hand to shake Gui Maochao tightly, Tang Guoming smiled and said to Gui Maochao: "It seems that you already know our identity and personal information?" β
Nodding calmly at Tang Guoming, Gui Maochao responded: "The notice I just got a few hours ago has a general understanding of your personnel composition and the personal information I should know, and at the same time, I have also made some preparations for your possible needs. β
Looking around at the room that was furnished with a sense of luxury, Pan Guan responded curiously: "What are you talking about...... It can't be such a small toy, and such a hotel house, right? β
With a bit of conceit, Gui Mao strode to the closet in the corner of the room, and stretched out his hand to open the door of the closet: "There must be more than that......"
