For a while, there were different opinions, and the Tianchao Star Region was full of storms, and "Babylon", as an international metropolis, was even more turbulent, and there was a murderous atmosphere everywhere.

However, unlike the outside world, the villa in the backyard of the "Hanging Garden" Venice Hotel is calm and the days are warm and sunny.

Tang Fang has not gone to the tax bureau for many days to explain the law, just like a citizen whose conscience has suddenly woken up to the idea that "there is no home without a country?" This kind of "truth" no longer adds to the blockage of the already overwhelmed government.

In today's tense situation, few people pay attention to Captain Tang Da, who is the director, because compared with behemoths like the Sulu Empire and the Mengya Empire, he is like an insignificant mayfly under the towering ancient tree.

Almost no one knew that the guy who secretly contributed to the "Brotherhood Terrorist Attack" from a whirlpool the size of a sesame mung bean to a frenzy that swept across the sea was sitting in the living room with his legs crossed, holding Claire up and down with one hand, a goblet in the other, and a sip of wine without taking a sip.

He looked very pleasant, because his right hand was sliding down from Claire's right placket, slowly reaching into the plastered field, and he couldn't put down the bouncing white rabbit.

Claire's eyebrows twitched a few times, and she shrugged her shoulders and knocked off her dead face, or rather her unyielding hand.

She couldn't remember the first time she had done this, but it was well past the single digits.

"It's the living room! Aren't you afraid that Xiao Yun will see it? The girl tried to feign anger and protested.

Tang Fang shrank back, and the wine swayed a rosy red on the transparent wall.

"Drink, one last sip." He handed the glass to the girl.

Claire sighed softly, allowing the captain to pour the wine into her beautiful little mouth with a smile.

There was still the smell of Tang Fang on the rim of the cup, which made her a little shy. It was even more trance-like, so that it took a long time to realize that the dishonest hand that had invaded the "halfway up the mountain".

"Tang Fang?" Claire's face flushed with an intoxicating red.

Tang Fang smiled softly: "Huh? ”

"Can you not be such a scoundrel?"

The captain thought for a moment and shook his head very seriously: "No! ”

"Alas!" The girl sighed again, ignored the hand that had reached into her bodice, leaned in his direction, and snuggled her head into his bosom.

Listen to what's going on behind you. Putting the glass back on the coffee table, he twisted his spine to make himself more comfortable, and at the same time moved his dishonest hand down.

The girl's face turned redder, her breathing became a little rapid, and then escalated into a somewhat wet and heavy gasp, and from the side, the red glow stretched all the way to the slender neck.

This couldn't help but make Tang Fang even more distracted, and couldn't help but lower his head. Brushing aside the gold threads that flowed behind her ears, she kissed her tenderly on her ruddy and delicate neck.

Claire didn't hide, only shivered slightly, she had already thought about it when she sighed for the second time, since she couldn't hide after all, it was better to obey his wishes, not to mention that she herself had a vague expectation.

"Upstairs?" Tang Fang went up her neck to the base of her ear. Then he bit down on her pearly earlobe and rubbed it gently.

After asking this sentence, he regretted it? Claire is obviously emotional, what nonsense is he talking about? It was time to take her down in one fell swoop. What if this sentence wakes her up and regrets it at the critical moment?

Thinking of this, he turned sideways slightly, wrapped his left hand around the girl's legs from below, and lifted her from the sofa with a force on his waist. I didn't bother to put on my shoes, so I hugged her and ran to the staircase.

Claire buried her head in Tang Fang's arms, her heavy breath beating against his chest like a wave, and the faint fragrance was like crushed petals thrown into the air, drifting away with the wind from her clothes.

The stairs are right in front of you. But the moment he stepped up the first staircase with his right foot, a crisp bell suddenly sounded at the door.

"Ding-dong......"

The sound is very pleasant, like water droplets dripping from the bamboo pipe hitting the bluestone platform.

But when it fell into Tang Fang's ears, it was clearly like a noise, so harsh, so irritating.

So he turned his head and glared hard at the man in the monitor.

He was going to take a look at it and continue to go upstairs, and when he was settling accounts with this blind guy in the future, who knew that after looking at the face of the person who came over, his expression became a little complicated.

Looking at Claire, who looked infinite and shy in his arms, he sighed heavily, slowly put the girl down with a helpless face, and kissed her forehead: "I'm sorry, I'm going to see someone." ”

The doorbell was still ringing, and there was a light footstep at the end of the corridor, it should be Tang Yun who heard the doorbell ring for a long time but no one responded, and wanted to go to the front hall to open the door in person.

Claire raised her lowered head and glanced at the image on the monitor at the door, finally understanding why Tang Fang was willing to give up the opportunity to eat her tofu at such a time.

Maybe he is lazy, very scoundrel, very unreasonable, but he has never slacked off in his business, which stems from men's sense of responsibility and execution, which is a kind of thing that is more likely to enchant women than money and appearance, it cannot be seen or touched, but stubbornly exists.

"Go ahead." Tang Yun's footsteps were getting closer and closer, Claire smoothed the wrinkles at the corners of his clothes, stood on tiptoe, tapped Tang Fang's cheek, and then quickly turned around and went upstairs.

She didn't want Tang Yun to see such a scene, she was not only gentle and kind, but also a delicate girl, she didn't want Tang Yun to think that she had taken away his eldest brother.

Because Zhou Ai once said to her: "I hate the kind of man who marries his daughter-in-law and forgets his mother." ”

Claire kept this sentence in her heart deeply, although Tang Yun was only Tang Fang's sister and the so-called "sister-in-law" in Zhou Ai's mouth, but if he really put most of his energy on himself, the little girl might not say it, and she would always feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.

So, she chose to leave quickly, so as not to be embarrassed, and with the way she was now, anyone who came could guess what had just happened.

For this, Zhou Ai has teased her more than once. said that she was more like an authentic Asian girl than a Germanic descent, gentle, kind, sensitive, and shy. Delicate mind......

She smiled and said that it would be good for the two of us to change our identities, Zhou Ai was silent for a long, long time, and then simply said two words: "Sleep." ”

She had insomnia that day, and so did Zhou Ai......

"Click." The door at the end of the corridor opened, and Tang Yun walked out in pajamas printed with many Winnie bears, she rubbed her eyes, glanced at Tang Fang with a puzzled face, and was a little surprised: "Brother, you are here." Why don't you open the door? ”

She also heard the sound of footsteps moving away, very soft, like barefoot feet stepping on a plank. She swept into the living room and found a pair of beautiful crystal sandals lying between the coffee table and the sofa, which Claire had bought when she was out shopping the other day.

Tang Yun was a little curious, her little head couldn't turn around for a while, and she couldn't understand what was going on.

"Go, go. Go, sleep your sleep goes. Tang Fang waved his hand impatiently. Turn and walk towards the door.

The little girl was a little aggrieved, but more still puzzled, she felt as if she had missed something.

…………

Walking to the door, Tang Fang's face had regained his calmness, and he opened the door, Corey? Christian's somewhat tired and pale face appeared in front of him.

Last time White? When Davide came to the hotel to drive, he realized that something must be wrong with the "Rover Technology Complex". He wondered if it was because of the "Somar" auction that Old Corey was caught and implicated.

This made Tang Fang a little reluctant, feeling that he owed the other party a favor, which was why he saw the person who appeared in the monitor, but he rarely did not have a seizure.

Fortunately, Old Corey is safe and sound. Judging from his current mental state, he was only a little frightened at most, and it was fine.

"Brother Tang, it's all my fault, I hurt you......" Old Corey said with a guilty face.

Tang Fang knew what he was referring to, 40 billion was not a small amount, even for a military enterprise like the "Rover Technology Complex" was a huge amount of money, Lao Corey originally wanted to help him, but he thought that it was a disservice, but he was pulled back by some people on the board of directors, not only did he not waive taxes, but he was caught by the government and fined more than 20 billion.

How can he not be ashamed? How not to be depressed?

"Brother Corey, it's serious."

Tang Fang replied calmly and let him into the living room.

By this time, Claire had already sorted out her feelings, changed into a more formal outfit and came down from the second floor, smiled at the guests, and brought out two cups of tea from the kitchen.

The aroma of Yuhua tea suddenly filled the whole room, as if there were elves dancing on the tip of the nose, making this lazy afternoon time more elegant and artistic.

This tone with Corey? Christian is a businessman who prefers simplicity and clarity, just as he likes coffee but not tea.

He didn't drink it, just took the cup and put it to his lips slightly, and then put it back on the coffee table.

"What, don't like it?" Tang Fang glanced at Clea,

The girl turned and walked back to the kitchen, and after about half a minute, walked back, pushing a cup of coffee in front of the guest.

Before he could drink it, he only smelled the aroma of coffee, and Lao Corey couldn't help frowning: "I finished drinking the coffee I sent you last time?" He was a little strange, the bag of coffee that White gave Tang Fang at the beginning was a lot, and it was only a month before he drank it? It's too fast.

Seeing that Tang Fang just smiled, did not answer, and did not explain, he was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to like it so much, then I will ask White to send some more after I go back, you must know that this is a special product of the Sauron Empire, a rare thing for the royal family." ”

Tang Fang didn't excuse himself, let alone thank him, but changed his words: "So it seems that Brother Corey is fine?" ”

Corey? Christian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized why he asked like this, it turned out that the young man in front of him actually heard a little bit of overtone from the gossip just now, and couldn't help but slander the little fox, shook his head and said: "What can I do, it's just that I have been 'refrigerated' by those people on the board for a few days, and those three gentlemen want to get rid of me?" You have to work harder. ”

"It seems that your position is not very easy to sit......" Tang Fang blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, took a sip of tea, closed his mouth and let the fragrance stay in his mouth for a while longer, which has the effect of refreshing his mind.

"It seems that there aren't many guys like you, otherwise I would have quit early in the morning...... Folding longevity! "There's never a shortage of humor for a character like Old Corey.

"Okay, don't talk about me, it's you. Alas...... That 40 billion ......"

"What? Brother Corey wants to fill this hole for me? Tang Fang interrupted him with a smile.

The corners of Old Corey's mouth twitched a few times, and he rolled his eyes a little playfully, if such an action was done by a beautiful woman, it might be very loving and charming, but it would be replaced by an old guy whose loess was buried in half of his chest. For no reason, it makes people feel a chill.

He said, "You just kill me." ”

Tang Fang spread his hands, and the sun sowed a golden yellow in his palm: "The dead are the least valuable." ”

Corey? Christian was speechless, his heart was also stuffed, and he sighed secretly: This kid's poor kung fu is also a must, so he didn't say anything more, and brought the topic to business: "Brother Tang, I won't tell you anything, I came to visit this time because of two things. ”

"First, I apologize to you solemnly. I really didn't expect that the three members of the board of directors would not hesitate to play word games in order to pull me down from the position of general manager of the branch, so that even you were implicated and lost more than 20 billion in vain. ”

"I don't think you're right." Before Old Corey could say the second thing, Tang Fang interrupted him again in the middle of his words: "If I guessed correctly, it's not you who implicate me in this matter, but I implicate you." ”

Old Corey's expression froze like a video recorder sliding for a few seconds, and finally he sighed, "It doesn't matter who implicates whom." In short, your loss is much bigger than mine, 20 billion star coins! That's enough money to buy 40 brand new frigates. Therefore, I really don't want to go. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Of course, such a huge amount of money, even if I sell myself to you, I can't afford to pay for it, but...... I'm going to help you get a good chance to save money. ”

"Oh?" Tang Fang raised his eyebrows. Apparently interested: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Maybe he said a little too much, so that his lips were a little dry, and even his voice was slightly hoarse, so Old Corey had to grab the slightly cold tea on the coffee table and pour it several sips. Suddenly, I found that Yuhua tea has a special fragrance after it cools, which is more fragrant than hot tea.

He was stunned for a moment before continuing: "You also know that the current situation of the Star Alliance is unstable, the Sulu Empire and the Mengya Empire have gathered a large number of troops on the border of the Star Alliance, and the Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic are also ready to move, and the stronghold forces on the periphery of the Star Alliance's territory are also accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to make trouble. ”

"On the other side, the territory of the Phoenix Empire and the Silver Eagle Regiment seems to be peaceful, but everyone knows that they have never been a good neighbor, but they are just in a dormant period right now."

"Similarly, the shape of 'Babylon' is not very optimistic, the business sector has been affected, the volume of international trade has fallen rapidly, and the stock market and futures market have bottomed out for several days......"

"I know that." Tang Fang interrupted Old Corey's tirade for the third time: "Talk about the point." ”

Corey? Christian took a deep breath, stared into his eyes and said: "These days when I came to 'Babylon', I believe you already know that some people at the top of the Star Alliance have a very strong 'interest' in you, and the price increase of iridium-containing minerals and cesium-containing minerals is, to put it bluntly, to curb your pace of development." ”

"In this price hike turmoil, there are actually many speculators who have hoarded a large number of cesium-containing minerals and iridium-containing minerals waiting for you to purchase, so as to knock a bamboo bargain, just ...... It seems that you are not fooled. Old Corey smiled a little helplessly, but also with some joy.

The corners of Tang Fang's mouth curled up, indeed, after he came to the "Hanging Garden", the first few days were calm, Grant went to the mineral resources market several times and even asked several companies and said that they were out of stock, however, when the immortal and the transport plane auctioned a high price of 790 billion star coins, good guys, the mineral dealers who took the initiative to contact him were like carp crossing the river, and there was an endless stream.

It's just that, to the disappointment of these speculators, the captain doesn't seem to be in a hurry, not only is he not in a hurry, but he is also in the mood to fight with those people in the tax office, as if he has forgotten about the purchase of minerals.

In addition, the situation around the Star Alliance is becoming more and more sinister, and the economy of "Babylon" has been severely impacted, and those speculators who are rushing to "800 billion" are like ants on a hot pot, if it weren't for the security measures of the Venice Hotel, I am afraid that the courtyard gate will be broken by them.

Generally speaking, in a war environment, the price of minerals will generally rise, and if the Star Alliance really goes to war with Sulu and Monya, it will naturally bring huge business opportunities for mineral merchants, and they should not be in a hurry.

However, the fact is that some people at the top of the Star Alliance have raised the price of iridium-containing and cesium-containing minerals to a very, very high level in order to beat the Tang side and restrict the "Morning Star Casting", and if the war really starts, the old foxes of the Star Alliance government will definitely be able to distinguish which is more important, and naturally they will no longer care about containing the Tang side.

At that time, what will be the fate of these speculators? Think about it with your ass and know it, therefore, in today's escalating tension on the border, they are more anxious and afraid than anyone else, what is it called stealing chickens and rice, this is called stealing chickens and rice!

Tang Fang just smiled, and did not show the slightest expression similar to schadenfreude, but it was Old Corey, who felt that the pores on his body were opened, and he was sour from the inside out.
