Chapter 122
Law and Zach stayed in the bar all afternoon, and they didn't get up to leave until late in the evening.
Since the auction time was set for the evening, Luo was a little worried that his appearance outside at this time might cause some unnecessary trouble.
For example, some women and children on the street were scared to death......
Fortunately, the city of Hilo is still very developed from the perspective of economic development, especially in the city center, and there are almost no dark corners to be found at night, and there are lights everywhere as if it were day.
Therefore, Luo's "luminous effect" can't find room to play for the time being.
However, it is not very clear what kind of lighting effects Luo and Zach will be at auction, so the next arrangement is ......
……
"So you mean, I'll go to the auction by myself first, and then let you know if I think the lighting there is enough to overshadow the glow-in-the-dark effect on you?"
Zach said as he sat in the passenger seat of the sports car, cuddling a bag of potato chips as he ate.
"That's right."
Law nodded.
"It's not impossible."
Zach munched on potato chips in his mouth, making a "click" sound.
"But what if the lights are dim at that time, should I ask the gaffer to turn up the brightness?"
"It's not impossible."
“…… All right. ”
……
Since the lights on every street are very bright and bright, Luo did not need to raise the folding roof of the sports car, and the car remained open.
They returned to the location of the building where the auction was located, which they had found today.
It's a lot busier than during the day.
There were already a large number of local TV cameramen waiting at the entrance of the venue.
After all, there will be a fundraising party in Hilo City tonight, in other words, a super gathering of rich and powerful people, and elites from all walks of life will appear in this building at this point in time tonight.
The next day, the headlines in every newspaper were about the fundraiser, so the reporters had to work hard, they had no idea what the theme of the fundraiser was, but they couldn't miss any of the people who showed up at the scene.
The atmosphere of the scene can probably be described in this word.
Luo put on his sweatshirt and hat, and drove smoothly through the crowded main route and into the parking lot through the other entrance of the building.
He had expected the garage underneath it, like the rest of the parking lot, to be very dim.
But this is not the case, the basement is very well lit, and he doesn't need to think about whether he will "shine" at all.
"It's good to have money......"
Zach muttered as he looked at the brightly lit underground parking lot.
However, just as their car was about to enter the underground garage, they were stopped by the security personnel at the entrance.
Several sturdy men in black suits and uniforms waved their hands, blocking Luo's way.
The men were all staring at the black Porsche, and someone was already talking about it with a walkie-talkie.
And one of them came over aggressively and approached the door of Luo's side......
Then he showed an extremely stiff smile and asked very politely, "Sir, do you have an appointment?" ”
"What do you want to book?"
Law glanced up at him.
"You shouldn't know about the fundraising party, sir, right?"
The security personnel still wore an awkward smile that was not at all heartfelt.
It can be seen that the leader of the organizer of the party should require all the staff to adjust their attitude to the level of respect or even flattery, after all, the people who attended the party tonight should be big people with heads and faces in the city and even in the autonomous prefecture, and none of them can be offended casually.
But it's clear that these rough men in front of you aren't very good at keeping a smile.
The expression on his face now could be regarded as grinning at best, baring his eight or nine teeth in the upper row, and trying to keep his saliva from flowing from the corners of his mouth......
And since it is such an important party, on the premise of not offending people, it is necessary to do enough security work for the venue, because once the elites from all walks of life in society gather on a certain occasion, there will be some bad intentions.
Whether it's kidnapping or sabotage, in short, someone will want to do something big.
Therefore, people who have nothing to do with the party will not be allowed to enter.
At least tonight, the entire hundred-story building is only used for fundraising parties, and no one else can enter it for the time being.
It's fair to say that the hand is pretty good.
Although the security personnel kept smiling, it didn't prevent his eyes from sweeping over Law and Zack.
Because it stands to reason that anyone who attends the party is in formal attire.
The man didn't want to polish his shoes so shiny that he could brighten the blind, and the lady didn't want her evening gown to bring out the best parts of her figure.
And the two guys in front of him who are dressed in hangers don't look like they're here to attend the party.
With such a casual and loose dress, it's almost the same to go to a nightclub, even though the car they drive looks quite high-end......
And normally speaking, people who actually attend the party, no matter how big or small, are willing to get out of the car at the main entrance of the building to feel the superiority of being bombarded by countless cameras and flashing lights, so as not to sneak in through the rear entrance so quietly......
So after seeing Zach and Law for the first time, these security personnel began to contact the other team members to prepare for some troublesome things that might arise.
"I know we're here for the fundraiser."
Luo nodded and said to the man with a stiff smile in front of him.
"Oh yes, so do you have an invitation? Or you can simply state your name and we will simply verify it and you will be released. ”
The sturdy man took out a small tablet from his waist and said to Luo.
"Oh, the invitation."
Luo didn't even think about it, and directly threw the two crystal cards he bought from Corey to the person in front of him.
After taking Luo's "admission ticket", the sturdy man obviously froze.
He looked at the front and back of the card with some inexplicability, and glanced at his teammates with strange expressions.
Luo also noticed the other party's abnormality.
"What's the problem?"
The sturdy man sneered and handed back the two tickets to Luo and said, "Sir, this is not an invitation to the fundraiser, you see, is it a mistake?" ”
"Huh?"
Luo's eyebrows moved slightly, but he didn't say anything else, just reached out and took the ticket back.
At this time, the few people behind the sturdy man picked up the walkie-talkie again, and they were saying something in a low voice.
I guess I think Luo and Zach are a little suspicious, and I'm going to notify the other team members to come over and deal with the problem.
"I'm really sorry, my friend must be mistaken, so let's do it, you must have a list of invitations to the fundraiser, please check it, there should be our name on it."
At this time, Zack, who had been sitting in the passenger seat facing the laptop, suddenly looked up and leaned over to the sturdy man and said.
"Oh, no problem, may I ask if the names of the two are ......"
"Arnold Schwarzenegger." Zach said with a smile.
The sturdy man's facial expression froze obviously, and before he could react, his gaze slightly turned to Luo in the main driver's seat.
"Bruce Lee"
Luo glanced at Zack without a trace, and said to the sturdy man with an expressionless face.
“……”
The sturdy man was stunned for about four or five seconds.
For four or five seconds, he burned his brain cells, searching his memory for these two names that sounded so familiar.
Soon he remembered who Bruce Lee and Schwarzenegger were.
"Uh...... You're kidding, haha......"
The sturdy man said to Zach and Law with a stiff expression.
"Hey, what are you lying to, check it out."
Zach didn't even look up, and when Rowe said Bruce Lee, his ten fingers were clicking wildly on the computer keyboard, and they were all about to turn into afterimages.
……
The sturdy man was patient, and resisted the urge to pick up these two bear boys, who might be playing with him, and throw them out.
He reached for his tablet and typed the names Bruce Lee and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
After a few seconds of brief operation of the system list, the words "No such person" appeared on the computer screen.
The sturdy man squinted, turned the tablet screen to Luo and Zack, gradually retracted the expressions on his faces, and said to them, "You two, can you stop joking?" ”
Law glanced at the tablet screen in the hand of the sturdy man, and slowly turned his gaze to Zack.
"Wait, wait, there should be something wrong with your system, or it's a network problem, there must be our name on the list."
Zach's eyes were still fixed on his laptop, and his ten fingers didn't stop for a moment, typing frantically on the keyboard to type various codes.
It took about three seconds before he looked up and slowly closed his laptop.
Then he smiled at the sturdy man and said, "Please check it again, it should be able to be found." ”
The sturdy man took a deep breath, glanced back at his teammates, presumably with a wink, then turned his head and nodded to Zach and said, "Okay." ”
He re-typed the two outrageous names into the search system and clicked OK.
……
…
At this time, the entrance to the basement has unconsciously added a lot of security personnel in black overalls, all of whom are close to cowboys and Chris's big guys.
All the security personnel have invisibly surrounded the entire sports car.
Luo himself was aware of it, but he was not prepared to do anything, just quietly held the steering wheel, and his index fingernail tapped on the armrest of the steering wheel.
……
Soon, the sturdy man's eyes staring at the tablet screen showed a strange look.
It was probably his first heartfelt expression of the night.
It's hard to describe the type of expression in words, but it's weird in short.
It's like accidentally eating a huge green-headed fly, and after chewing it twice, it feels a little sweet, but the expression in my heart is still extremely disgusting......
Because at this time, after re-searching, the personal information of two people appeared on his computer screen.
One is called "Arnold Schwarzenegger", with information such as date of birth, place of origin, place of work and address, as well as a very formal formal ID photo, the face is Zach's, and the back is also marked "Chief Engineer of Adam Technology Electronic Information......
The other is "Bruce Lee", which also has a variety of detailed identification information, as well as a ID photo, which is marked "Assistant to the Chief Engineer of Electronic Information at Adam Technology".
The sturdy man repeatedly shuttled his gaze back and forth between these two photos and the two guys in front of him, and found that they were indeed right......
But the names of these two movie stars, as well as the age and temperament of each other that do not match the title of "chief engineer" at all, have made him deeply suspicious of the list in his opponent.
However, the system does not deceive people, and it is impossible to search for people who are not on the invitation list of the fundraising party.
After a short ten-second struggle of thoughts, the sturdy man probably figured something out, smiled sincerely and apologetically at Law and Zack, put away the tablet and said:
"Uh...... I'm sorry, gentlemen, but there was something wrong with our system. ”
As he spoke, the sturdy man glanced at the others around him.
Seeing this, the others retreated silently.
"Please, have a good time."
The sturdy man raised his hand and motioned for his teammates in front of him to raise the entrance fence of the parking lot.
"Thank you."
Zach smiled and beckoned to the others.
Luo, on the other hand, started the car directly and entered the parking lot.
……
After entering the parking lot, Luo, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
He took the two auction tickets in his hand and said to Zach, "They don't recognize this thing." ”
"That's a problem."
Zach touched his chin.
"Is it true that we spent a million on two fakes, as I had guessed earlier? It's not fun. ”
"I didn't ask you to give me an analysis." Luo played the steering wheel, reversed elegantly, threw the car into the parking space, stopped, turned off, and did it in one go, and then turned his head to look at Zack, and said lightly: "Ask Corey for clarification." ”
"OKOK, ask right away, ask now."
Zach shrunk his neck, pulled out his communicator and dialed Corey's number.
……
…
After a short exchange, Corey finally told Zach the correct way to use the ticket.
And after adding about a hundred modifiers and dozens of nonsense sentences to Corey's original words, Zach finally explained the operation method to Luo clearly.
