1. Trouble (II)
"There was a misunderstanding between us." Zhu Tong's spirit stared at Finney's face and said slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Finney picked up; "We have mutual friends, Dr. Huey, His Excellency Lord Hamilton. And, of course, Mr. Williams, Hans. Mr. Williams. They are all my friends, friends who can share the troubles. Of course, Mr. Smith was one of us, along with Mr. Carr. It's a pity that they chose another path. The loser's best option is to leave the table automatically, and I admire their courage to admit defeat. β
"I don't understand, what do you mean."
"I'm not interesting." Finney blinked quickly and said; "In our opinion, Mr. Li is the kind of friend who can sit at the table for a long time. We've heard that someone is forcing you off the table, and we don't see your counterattack. Dr. Xiuyi believes that you are not a soft egg to be manipulated by others, and you must be planning something. My advice is that if you run into trouble and you feel it is necessary, we can provide you with a safe passage. β
"Oh, that's what you mean." Zhu Tong took out a bottle of Moutai and felt that he hadn't opened it. At tens of thousands of feet in the air, the butterfly god is much more controlled.
Finney's expression became more and more unscrupulous, except for the flower, most of the people on the charter plane heard him, including the two beautiful flight attendants.
Haruko frowned and said, "This gentleman, we don't welcome you to join, you, are bothering us." β
"It's okay, Mr. Finney is sincere. We should have a toast. Zhu Tong opened Moutai and raised the bottle to Finney; May I? β
"Why not? I appreciate Chinese wine culture. The warmth and heroism contained in it are as charming as the silky skin of a Chinese woman. Beautiful young lady, please bring us some wine glasses. Finney smiled happily.
In his opinion, this is a good start. "Divine Doctor Li Xiang" has always been respectful of him, obviously wary. But it doesn't matter, as a cultural officer at the embassy, what he does best is bridging barriers and cultivating friendships. As long as the other party accepts him, he is sure to do more.
The stewardess brought four glass wine glasses and reminded: "Sir, this is high in the sky, for the safety of you and everyone, please drink in moderation." β
"Don't worry, I'm a doctor." Zhu Tong poured four glasses of wine and pointed to the tip of his nose; "'Divine Doctor Li Xiang', it's me."
The flight attendant smiled, of course she knew that the young man in front of her was the famous "Divine Doctor Li Xiang", and recently, "Divine Doctor Li Xiang" was the most popular public figure, and it was said that he was still a billionaire. Now it seems that "Divine Doctor Li Xiang" is really interesting, and many rumors are probably true. Including, he has a lot of beautiful girlfriends; He's charismatic...... The stewardess blushed slightly.
"This cup is Ah Jun's, you are a man now, you can drink some wine." Zhu Tong's first glass of wine was pushed in front of Jun Watanabe; "Ah Jun, from the moment you leave Japan alone, you are a *human being. This cup is my and everyone's best wishes for your late arrival. β
"Thank you, sir." Watanabe nodded gratefully to Zhu Tong and carefully picked up his glass.
"This cup should be given to Mr. Lehman, the most distinguished guest." Zhu Tong greeted Lehman.
Mr. Lehman came over laughing, took the glass and sniffed; "It's really good wine. Dear Lee, a toast without reason is as boring as spring without flowers. β
"Friendship, how?" Zhu Tong looked at Finney with a smile; "Mr. Finney, it's your turn, which of these two glasses of wine do you choose?"
On the elaborate solid wood table, there are two full wine glasses, the same crystal wine glass, and the wine in it is similar; Finney was slow to make a choice.
The wine glass was brought by the stewardess, and the process of pouring the wine was also under Finney's watchful eye the whole time, and he didn't see any difference between the two glasses. As an FBI agent, Finney is rigorous and skillfully trained, and knows that what the eye sees is not necessarily everything. Zhu Tong has already let him choose, there must be some mystery in these two glasses of wine.
"Does it make a difference?" Finney looked at it and thought about the process just now, but he couldn't find any clues, so he simply didn't want to think about it. It is also a good choice to put down your body and ask questions shamelessly at the right time.
"In my opinion, there is a difference." Zhu Tong looked into Finney's eyes and said word by word; "In one of the wine glasses, in addition to the wine, there was also a special gift that I had prepared. I would only give such a gift when I treat a friend who is worthy of a relationship. β
"Yes, yes, Mr. Li's gift is very precious, well, it can be said to be worth tens of millions." Lehman thought Zhu Tong was joking, and patted Finney on the shoulder; "My dear, Mr. Li is an amazing Chinese doctor, and his gift is especially precious. You've got to pick carefully. The chance of hitting the jackpot is right in front of you, and you have half the chance. β
Finney picked up a glass of wine and took a closer look. There is only crystal clear wine in the glass, and there is no clutter. Smell the taste, the mellow and pure fragrance of Moutai, nothing special.
"That's it." Finney also thought that Zhu Tong was intimidating, and "Divine Doctor Li Xiang" was originally a guy who liked to pretend to be mysterious.
"Now that Mr. Finney has made his choice......" Zhu Tong said, picking up the last glass of wine, standing up; Ah Jun, for your bright future; Mr. Lehman, Mr. Finney; Cheers to friendship and friendship. β
"Watanabe-kun, I forgot to congratulate you on becoming a man, toast this toast, and let Mrs. Lehman prepare a celebration for you. You can invite Mr. Lee now. Lehman deliberately clinked glasses with Watanabe Jun first, and then clinked glasses with Zhu Tong and Finney respectively.
This is also a gesture, so that Zhu Tong can see that he and this golf boy are very harmonious. Previously, Lehman was a well-known white supremacist.
"Is that okay?" Jun Watanabe looked at Zhu Tong and asked.
"Of course, I will definitely find time to bless Ah Jun." Zhu Tong stroked Watanabe Jun's shoulder and said.
Finney carefully touched the cup with Zhu Tong, and he regretted it a little. Hell, it was just a glass of wine, and his original self-confidence and good feelings were destroyed. In his heart, he was a little afraid of having too much contact with Zhu Tong. He remembered the warning of a senior: doctors are dangerous guys, don't offend them easily; You don't know when they are devils and when they are angels.
The young Chinese doctor in front of him obviously has nothing to do with angels. In any case, he is a target worth wooing.
Jun Watanabe was the first to finish drinking, and the spicy liquor choked his face red.
"Be careful, my child. Wine shouldn't be drunk like that......" Lehman patted his junior, completely looking like a loving elder.
Seeing Finney show off the empty wine glass, Zhu Tong smiled: "Now, we are really friends." Ah Jun go sit over there and leave this position to Mr. Finney. β
"No, I suddenly feel that it is rude to disturb your pleasant conversation." Finney thinks it's better to keep some distance from the "Divine Doctor Li Xiang" first.
Lehman and Finney are gone, and Toshiya Watanabe sits in his original position.
Although Huahua has been studying hard, but her foundation is too poor, and most of the conversations between them are still only half-understood, she asked with regret: "Big brother, why did they leave?" Didn't Mr. Finney want to talk to you? β
"He changed his mind." Zhu Tong smiled and glanced at Finney not far away and said.
Finney was also paying attention to Zhu Tong, and he suddenly had a very bad feeling. Zhu Tong looked at him strangely, as if he was looking at a prey, perhaps, a pet...... Finney's mind is messed up.
"Mr. Finney;" Zhu Tong beckoned at him. He didn't want to let go of the FBI, the game had already begun, and now he wanted to quit, it was too late.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little unwell, maybe it's because of the alcohol. I thought, I should take a break. Finney blinked easily, lowered the wide airline seat, put on an eye mask and earplugs, and waded down to sleep.
He regretted it a little, maybe he shouldn't have provoked this horrible, moody, mysterious fellow?
The quietest on the charter flight were the Wan Wansheng Buddhas, who sat in the corner of the back row and began to sleep after the plane took off.
Wan Jiahai snored with a big belly, Sheng Fu was next to him, and the two of them wore earmuffs, both of them were indecent with grinning teeth.
The most people on the plane are foreigners, and they are all guys with special identities, and now it is a very difficult time for them, and they don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. Only a guy like Zhu Tong would take the initiative to provoke so many troublesome characters.
Miss Cerea was very low-key today, wearing a very formal black professional attire, and sat with two of Mr. Lehman's entourage. Ever since she got on the plane, Sirea has been talking to them, unconcerned about everything that is happening around her.
The so-called entourage of Mr. Lehman includes Mr. Lehman's staff and senior advisers, as well as image advisers, financial assistants, liaison assistants, office directors, secretaries, etc. On this trip to China, Lehman brought his entire team, which can be regarded as a vacation arranged for the people around him.
Zhu Tong confided with Lehman last night and asked him to provide two people to help do something, and the time was two days. Zhu Tong promised to pay them $50,000 and Lehman $50,000 in intermediary fees. Zhu Tong's request for those two people is that it is best to have a background in a resource company, but there is no need to show their official identity.
The requirements are very simple, and Zhu Tong did not ask for it, which is a necessary condition.
For Lehman, this condition is nothing; The consortium behind him owns several large energy-related companies. His senior advisor, Mr. Brooks, who is also an advisor to a publicly traded energy company, is a good fit.
What Miss Cerea is doing now is to train them, that is, to introduce them to the national situation in China, the general situation of the three companies to be inspected, and the background and habits of the company owners. Also, it is to explain the precautions for the investigation, and simply put, there are only four words: say less and see more.
Although it is only four words, it is still very difficult to get it just right.
Miss Cerea was well suited to the role of mentor, and Mr. Brooks, along with his hand-picked assistant, one of Mr. Lehman's staff, was happy to earn a handsome extra money in just two days; They are more than happy to play the role of two ambiguous and irresponsible American capitalists, and it is said that there is a good chance that they will receive some interesting gifts.
At Zhengzhou Xinzheng Airport, Jingchi Xuemei's private jet Sakura took off at 10:40 a.m., and the destination was the same as Zhu Tong.
"I still don't think it's a good fit." Ye Er said with a little uneasiness; "We should have spoken to him first."
"Wouldn't it be better to surprise him?" Yukimi Iike smiled mischievously; "Sister Ye'er, he must be very happy to see you. You say, don't you? She touched Chen Yiyi.
"It must be a pleasure." Chen Yiyi said very cooperatively.
"But we didn't get an invitation." Ye'er said again.
"Just a trip, I had no vacation anymore. Desert sand embankment smoke, pheasant spots in the west of the embankment; The pheasant voice is, and Mai Xiusang is idle. Desert scenery, I'm coming. Yukimi Iike opened her arms exaggeratedly.
"I have an invitation." Chen Yiyi straightened her hair; "Miss Xie Jing invited me to attend the opening ceremony, although the invitation card was left in Shanghai and not brought, as long as we arrived, especially with a VIP like Miss Jingchi Xuemei, Miss Xie Jing would not be unhappy."
"What kind of VIP am I, Sister Ye'er is a VIP."
Ye Er sighed silently, all because of Zhu Tong.
In the past few days, they have gotten along quite well, but as long as they encounter similar situations, Miss Jingchi Xuemei and Miss Chen Yiyi will stand together very tacitly.
