Chapter 306: Nicole. Sawyer
Chapter 306 Nicole. Sawyer
Finding a secluded room, Tay closed the door and looked around with a sharp gaze, raising his palm in a cutting gesture.
Xia Fei was very puzzled, there were only two people in the room, himself and Tai, but he didn't know who he was going to show this action to.
"The military department is confidential, and the idle people are waiting to retreat," Tai said in a deep voice.
Xia Fei suddenly realized that this was the mansion of the Jian family, and there might be a secret monitoring system in the room, and Tai was reminding the security department not to peep.
Xia Fei felt that since Tai decided to talk to him on such an occasion, it would never be a real secret, as the first person in charge of the alliance's military department, prudence was a necessary principle for Tai to deal with people, maybe he just didn't like people to peep, and besides, even if these Jian family's family security guards really heard anything, they didn't have the courage to say it, in front of the powerful military department, any carelessness could lead to annihilation.
Still, Tai's wariness of his surroundings gave Xia Fei a good impression of the silver-haired admiral.
"The energy shield synergist you invented has a very good effect, after a comprehensive evaluation by the military laboratory, the military department intends to include the quantum company in the list of military department * level suppliers, that is to say, from now on, the quantum company will still be a private enterprise in name, but in fact it will be strictly managed by the military department, of course, all this still needs to be approved by Congress, and then the president will sign and approve." Tai said very directly.
Xia Fei was stunned suddenly, and he was pleasantly surprised in his heart, everyone knew that the military department had approved that the congress and the president would not raise objections without a special reason, at most it would be a formality, and this matter was at least ninety percent certain
What does it mean for a military department-level supplier Xia Fei knew very well, he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and a ray of light shone in his eyes.
"General Tai, thank you and the military department for your appreciation of Quantum Company, please believe that this will be one of the most correct decisions you have ever made." Xia Fei said neither humbly nor arrogantly, his tone was unusually calm.
Tai nodded, the initial impression between strangers is very important, so far Xia Fei has not shown any qualities that Tai does not like, he is a businessman, but in his bones he does not lose the calmness and calmness that a warrior should have.
"Originally, I planned to wait until the formal approval to talk to you, since we meet today it is better to take this opportunity to make it clear, I have always firmly believed that talent is the most important part of an enterprise, and what kind of leader an enterprise has will directly determine the success or failure of the enterprise, so I am used to talking directly with all the business leaders who serve the military department."
"You don't have to be nervous, it's just a few simple questions, just say what you think."
Xia Fei smiled and nodded, this is like a leader assessing his subordinates, in a sense, once Quantum Company obtains the qualification of a military department's *-level supplier, it is equivalent to becoming an affiliated enterprise of the military department, and Tai has become Xia Fei's boss.
"The first question is, how do you plan to improve the efficiency of the company's operations and provide the best products for the military department as much as possible?" Tai asked.
Xia Fei thought for a while and replied: "Actually, I will not deliberately produce the best products for the military department, because the products we provide to the military department or to ordinary customers are of the same quality, no matter who it is, Quantum Company will provide the best products, and inferior products never exist in Quantum Company." ”
Xia Fei's answer was a little unexpected, and he frowned slightly: "The military department will be your only and irreplaceable largest customer, but you will not produce the best products for your largest customer?" ”
Xia Fei said: "Assuming that I can provide better performance products for the military department, it can only mean that the current quality is not perfect, General Tai, there is no room for improvement in the energy shield synergistic device at present, because we have done our best to make it the best, assuming that one day the technology is upgraded, we will also upgrade all the products, whether it is you or ordinary customers, you will get the best quality products, at present, the quantum company does provide differentiated services, but that is only trapped in the working intensity of the shield synergist, As for the quality, it's all exactly the same. ”
"I don't think you can trust a company with a lot of quality, do you? Every synergistic device sold by Quantum is a good product, and as for the defective product, it has long been destroyed on the spot. ”
Tai seems to be very satisfied, Xia Fei's statement is simply understood that Quantum Company only provides one quality product, so there is no distinction between good and bad quality, which shows the company's rigorous attitude.
"Second question......"
About half an hour later, Tai and Xia Fei walked out of the Jian family's mansion one after another, and the crowd that had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded Tai like a tide, after all, even these powerful people with prominent backgrounds did not have much chance to meet the number one boss of the army.
In comparison, Xia Fei's side seemed much more deserted, people cast strange eyes, but no one took the initiative to step forward, to be precise, everyone had great doubts about Xia Fei in their hearts, but this does not mean that Xia Fei will be recognized by the upper class society, so far Xia Fei still does not belong to the top circle of this alliance.
In the corner of the cocktail party, Xia Fei sat there sipping expensive champagne as just now, who would have thought that Nicole came over for the second time, Xia Fei felt very puzzled, it was said that he and her were originally in Pingshui, it was nothing more than to help her modify the ill-fitting high heels, but for some reason she seemed to be interested in chatting with herself.
Sitting down next to Xia Fei, Nicole quietly took off her high heels and rubbed her feet with her hands, there are not many girls who don't know how to wear high heels, especially a girl like her who grew up in a rich family.
"Tai's question is actually not too difficult, I just took over the family business two months ago, Taiya called me into the office to ask, I was very nervous, and I thought something was wrong." Nico said in a self-deprecating tone.
Xia Fei said: "You seem to know a lot? ”
Xia Fei had only just learned about the fact that Quantum Company was about to become a *-level supplier of the Ministry of War, and even Thuram, who was in a high position in the Adjudicator's Union, had never received any news, thinking that he was also kept in the dark, but Nick knew all this, and it could only be said that the connection between the four warship companies and the military department was closer than Xia Fei imagined, and it seemed that they and the military department were a whole at all.
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and didn't answer Nicole, he was still a little wary of this young woman, and didn't want to get too much contact, Tai once said that the content of the conversation should be kept secret, who can guarantee that Nicole is not an undercover agent assigned by Tai, and secretly investigate whether he strictly implements Tai's requirements.
Xia Fei's silence made Nicole not feel good, she obviously felt that Xia Fei was not willing to talk to herself more, and said a few words to herself in embarrassment, Nicole stood up, dragged her sore feet back to the crowd to socialize, and smiled very naturally.
"Congratulations, I didn't expect the military department to really list you as a *-level supplier, this is a great thing, it will be of great help to your position in the alliance, when are you going to tell Qin Mang about this old thing?" Thuram walked up to Xia Fei and whispered.
Xia Fei said: "After the dust settles, the Congress has not yet approved it." ”
Thuram smiled, "The Congress is just going through the motions, telling you to go over to prepare a case, and then ask a few words casually, although the military department belongs to the alliance, it is independent of other departments, and has a high degree of autonomy, in short, the army is loyal to the entire human alliance, not a certain presidential dignitary, you can rest assured, you will get that glittering brand in a few days." ”
Xia Fei nodded, and he asked curiously, "Nicole. What is the origin of Sawyer, I sit here and she took the initiative to come and chat with me twice, and behaved very unusually. ”
Thuram laughed, "Boy, who did you learn this suspicious personality from?" Such a beautiful girl accosted you, and you actually suspected that people had ulterior motives? ”
Xia Fei said lightly: "There is no love for no reason in the world, and there will be no conversation for no reason. ”
Thuram pursed his lips and glanced at Nicole, who was talking and laughing in the distance, and Xia Fei suddenly found that Thuram's gaze was mixed with sympathy and pity.
Ram sighed heavily, and drank the Hebernian malt in the glass, which was so violent that Thuram couldn't help but grin at the bottom of the glass.
"Actually, Nicole is a very poor girl."
Xia Fei was a little puzzled, assuming that it was pitiful to be born in the dignified Sawyer family, then wouldn't the children of the poor in the world be unable to live.
After a pause, Thuram said in a deep voice, "Nicole and Avril don't look alike?" ”
Xia Fei thought in his heart for a while, "The identities are quite similar, they are all the same young ladies of the top families of the alliance, the same only daughter, and the heir of the family, but Avril has a more innocent personality, like a carefree princess, Nicole is more mature than Avril, she can come and go freely in the business field, and her mood is invisible, which Avril can't do." ”
Thuram lowered his eyebrows and said with a slight hoarseness: "Actually, the two of them have one thing in common, that is, they have both been kidnapped, I don't know if you have paid attention to Nicole's wrist, there is a faint pink mark there, which was left to her by the robbers back then." ”
Xia Fei was stunned suddenly, no wonder Nicole had decorations on both wrists, it turned out to cover up these traces.
"The difference is that Avril was kidnapped when she was fortunate to have you, and she fought for half her life not to save her, but Nicole didn't meet anyone like you when she was kidnapped, she was kidnapped and tortured for half a month before she was rescued, and this incident left a shadow in her heart that can never be erased."
"She and Avril are very similar in age or background, even the experience is very similar, Avril has you but she doesn't, maybe she thought that if there was a person similar to you around at that time, she wouldn't have experienced all this, so she looked at you differently and said a few more words."
It was also a kidnapping, but because of the different people around him, the result became diametrically opposite, Xia Fei looked at Nicole, who was circling in the drinking party, and there was no guard in his heart, only some sympathy left.
Xia Fei didn't talk about this topic anymore, but instead asked about Avril, Thuram said: "This is also an unwritten rule, the host will only appear at the end, and then dance the first dance of the night, the time is almost up, I hope you have practiced the dance steps before." ”
Xia Fei was nervous, "You mean...?" ”
Thuram laughed, "Boy, if you can't even dance, just wait for tonight." ”
……
The drinking party gradually entered the **, and there were tens of thousands of people on the top of the mountain, plus a large number of waiters and bodyguards, which crowded the originally large hilltop square.
Xia Fei suddenly thought maliciously, assuming that the terrorists quietly dropped a bomb at this time, he was afraid that the entire alliance economy would regress by at least twenty years, after all, there were too many rich sons and grandchildren, political dignitaries and celebrities among the people present, and the wealth they held would definitely be an astonishing astronomical amount.
Unfortunately, there were no terrorists in the sky except for the military and police warships that flew by non-stop, and the security apparatus apparently took the banquet too seriously, sending heavy troops to maintain order in the surrounding area.
Those who should come, those who shouldn't come, as long as they belong to the upper class of the alliance, they will not miss this party, Li Mo and his father Li Guan quietly appeared, followed by Bai Ye and Yue Ge.
Li Guan was busy greeting familiar people, looking like a spring breeze, but Li Mo, who was following him, was somewhat uncomfortable, he knew that his failure to win the championship of the Golden Finger Cup had already been rumored to be a laughing stock by people in the circle, and those who covered their mouths and peeked at themselves were not saying anything good.
Bai Ye was like the follower of the Li family, respectfully following behind Li Mo, Yue Ge looked very angry, holding his arms with both hands, looking menacing, and Yue Ge's parents were also on the scene in the distance, it could be seen from their unnatural smiles that it seemed like a gift to them to be able to attend such a noble drinking party, and they didn't have to think about it to know that all of this was all due to the Li family.
Li Mo first saw Xia Fei in the corner, Xia Fei raised his wine glass and smiled at Li Mo.
Li Mo gritted his teeth, clenched his fists with both hands, his face turned pale and blue for a while, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Xia Fei"
Yue Ge immediately showed a smile when she saw Xia Fei, and she grabbed her skirt with both hands and ran over with no regard for her image.
syllable
Yue Ge punched Xia Fei hard, "Crazy, why are you here to see the person you are wearing like a dog, I almost didn't recognize it." ”
Xia Fei took a glass of wine from the waiter and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "I haven't asked you the same thing yet." ”
Yue Ge looked disgusted, "If it weren't for my money-obsessed parents dragging me, who would rarely go to this kind of place, let alone with a hated guy." ”
Of course, the guy that Yue Ge hated in his mouth was Bai Ye, and Xia Fei knew their affairs very well, so he didn't ask too much, after all, everyone has their own difficulties.
Bai Ye rushed over from behind menacingly, and grabbed Yuege with one hand, "Yuege, I have something to say to you." ”
Xia Fei knew that Bai Ye didn't want Yue Ge to stay with him, and the more he did this, the more Xia Fei's disgust was aroused.
With his eyebrows raised, Xia Fei asked coldly, "Is there anything you can't say here?" ”
Yue Ge pushed Bai Ye far away, "If you have something to say, let it go, don't you see me chatting with Xia Fei?" ”
Bai Ye said angrily: "What do you two have to talk about? ”
Xia Fei smiled evilly, "We are talking about the last time we were together, and we fought seventeen times in one night, and we sweated profusely every time." ”
"Yuege, are you free tonight?" Xia Fei asked deliberately ambiguously.
Moon Song has always been known for being bold and spicy, where would you care about this.
"Yes, but this time you should remember to bring a few more clothes, and we'll role-play."
Bai Ye's anger can no longer be described in words, he never dreamed that Xia Fei would put on a scoundrel-like face, and what is even more infuriating is that Yue Ge actually seems to be a scoundrel than Xia Fei
Fortunately, at this time, Yuege's parents appeared, Xia Fei always had to give them some face even if he was lawless, and the two of them pulled Yuege to walk towards a crowded place, Yuege muttered with a look of displeasure.
"Hmph" Bai Ye snorted coldly, at this time he was very similar to the white face in Peking Opera, his handsome face was bloodless, obviously, he was really not lightly angered by Xia Fei and Yue Ge's pranks.
is like a small episode in a boring banquet, after Yue Ge left, Xia Fei's side became a corner of a person.
As the night gradually thickened, the ** part of this banquet finally arrived.
The band played an elegant and brisk sonata, and the crowd suddenly became quiet, and Sean was seen slowly walking into the center of the dance floor in an evening dress.
His face was full of smiles, and even the folds on his face were much less than they used to be.
Avril and her father, Newman, followed Sean.
Avril wore a snow-white evening gown, a string of equally snow-white beads on her swan-like smooth neck, sparkling, with light makeup painted on her face, and her blonde hair was intricately combed and coiled together, setting off Avril's gorgeous face.
With an elegant and confident smile, she frequently applied the most noble courtesy to the guests, and sent the most sincere greetings to each other in different dialects.
Xia Fei was stunned, when Avril hid her childlike innocence, she would reveal a fairy-like beauty.
At this moment, she is no longer the little girl who likes to make fun of teddy bears, but a real woman, with a face that is enough to suffocate the world.
Xia Fei suddenly felt that all the previous waits were worth it, whether it was the annoying Li Mo, or the good news brought by Tai, or the nonsense with Yue Ge, all of this was no longer important.
Tens of thousands of people disappeared, and only Avril Lavigne was left in Xia Fei's eyes, except for her, everything in heaven and earth could be completely ignored.
"What are you doing in a daze?" Thuram grabbed Xia Fei's hand and walked from the crowd to the innermost level of the dance floor.
Avril also saw Xia Fei, two small flowers flew on her face, and they turned red after rubbing it, and she looked at him with deep eyes, and never left.
Xia Fei was like a dream, Avril was very beautiful, he had known this for a long time, but he didn't expect that she could be so beautiful tonight, it seemed that this kind of surprise should not appear in the world.
Sean's enthusiastic speech, Xia Fei couldn't hear it.
The guests applauded warmly, and Xia Fei didn't notice it.
The two of them looked at each other and built a bridge with tens of thousands of people, and there was no one on the bridge except Xia Fei and Avril.
Many people with a heart have seen this scene, envy, jealousy, hatred, all kinds of emotions spread in their hearts, Li Mo even hated to bite his teeth, and then swallowed it into his stomach, his handsome face was full of green muscles, and the angry flames in his eyes were burning.
It's a pity that no matter how angry he is, Xia Fei and Avril treat him like nothing.
As the first dance music sounded, the part of the drinking party finally arrived, and the host wanted to invite a dance partner to dance with him, Avril paused and walked over to Xia Fei with her head down.
