Chapter XV: Commercial Espionage 3
The neon lights in the city shine through the car window glass on Qiyun's face full of sorrow, thinking that Wang Xue is this kind of person, it is difficult to calm down, and he decided to go to a nearby bar to get drunk, hoping to eliminate the sorrow in his heart, hoping that everything can return to the same after waking up tomorrow, Wang Xue is still the thoughtful little secret.
When I came to the door of a restaurant called Meteor Bar, the door was half-leaning open, and the sign on the door was inconspicuously lit, but it always attracted many young people to patronize. Qiyun stood at the door and didn't dare to step into it for half a step, recalling the past in his mind, and his colleague Zhang Yang would come to this bar to drink two glasses if he had nothing to do after work, the happy scene at that time appeared in front of Qiyun's eyes, Zhang Yang would rush to order every time, and in the end he paid for the account It was really funny to think about it, the salary was not high at that time but he was extremely comfortable, talk about the bad words of the leader, complain about many unfair phenomena in society, and then two beauties hugged left and right, and now that carefree time is gone.
Qiyun stepped into the door of the bar, the dimness in front of him suddenly became colorful, the lights on the dance floor flashed red, blue and yellow, shining on the dancing beauty, and suddenly the ordinary woman became a bright star, constantly twisting her waist to attract people's attention, the crowd below shouted, boiling, restless, very rhythmic music throughout the ears, noisy people unconsciously hilarious, Qiyun suppressed the restlessness in his heart and came to the bar, "A glass of whiskey and ......" Qiyun said, suddenly remembered something and wanted to stop.
A tall, lanky male bartender in a white shirt and a black vest looked at him and asked, "What do you want to add, sir"?
"Oh, ice cubes, put me another plate, thank you," Qiyun said.
The bartender looked at him suspiciously, this guest's request was really strange, he hadn't heard about the separation of whiskey and ice, but he still met his request, poured a glass of whiskey, and served it to him with ice cubes on a small plate.
Qiyun disagreed, looking at these angular ice cubes, knowing that they were carved out of the same mold, almost each of them had the same mass and size, and arranging them was not like the stars in the solar system that were regular, orderly, and attracted to each other. And in the XVII century Isaac? Newton's discovery of the law of gravitation supports, stars of different sizes are constantly rotating and revolving around the sun (the sun is the largest star in the known solar system), Qiyun starts from the front, takes out the ice block in the fifth place, and turns into a blue tone under the blue light, how similar to our earth, Qiyun's eyes are full of excitement, but it is too fragile, constantly suffering from potential threats from outer space, and the mass is too small to be less than one millionth of the sun, How would we be alive on this planet without so many coincidences (out of tens of thousands of lifeless planets, Earth is the only planet with life).
When Qiyun was full of thoughts in his mind, he suddenly received a text message on his mobile phone, and instinctively looked at a message from Wang Xue: Don't you have a lot of doubts in your heart, I can tell you all now.
Qiyun wondered if it was necessary for him to trust her again. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to see what else she had to say.
A quick text message back: Where are you?
Message will come back in a moment: Polestar Cafe.
The name of Polestar Cafe was familiar, and Qiyun thought about pouring all the ice cubes on his plate into the glass of whiskey, letting them stir each other, then shivering as he drank it, paid and walked straight out of the bar.
Qiyun remembered that it was a self-service café that she went to with Eiffel, why did she go there? Immediately drove the car directly to it, the navigation was useless, the route was all in Qiyun's mind, and in less than ten minutes, he found this small café on the side of a big road, and found that it was still open with the lights on, which made Qiyun feel very strange, and he had a premonition that they were waiting for him.
Entering the door, the store looks pure white and very clean, incomparable with the hustle and bustle in the bar just now, it is too quiet here, like a cold air lingering, as if it is going to solidify at any time, Wang Xue has been sitting in the innermost position waiting, seeing Qiyun coming over, he immediately said "I knew you would come" with a smile on his face.
Qiyun looked around and asked, "How did you come here?"
"You'll know later," Wang Xue replied, looking in the direction of the counter, and then a tall man came out of the counter and said, "Sit, we still have a relationship."
Qiyun looked at the man and asked suspiciously, "Gao Feng, do you know her?"
Gao Feng looked at Qiyun and said with a smile, "Wang Xue, not only do we know each other, but we have worked together and worked hard together."
Qiyun was even more puzzled, why did he even know Xiao Yong, and suddenly stood up vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?"
"Don't be nervous, sit" Gao Feng waved his hand and continued, "Actually, Xiao Yong founded an organization before, and we are members of it."
Qiyun didn't know what he was talking about, and asked in annoyance, "Why can't I understand anything?"
"If you don't understand, it's right, I'll show you something, and you'll understand everything," Gao Feng took out the data board and handed it to Qiyun.
Qiyun looked at him suspiciously, took it in the palm of his hand and touched the screen with his fingertips, it was a genealogy of the Xiaoyong family and the genealogical information of the Cheng Wen family, and then looked down to surprise Qiyun, these were almost confidential, making him open his mouth wide and ask, "How did you get it?"
Gao Feng beckoned to the assistant robot, made three cups of exquisite coffee, and waited for the coffee to be served before he said unhurriedly
"Drink, are you willing to continue listening to me now?"
Qiyun now wanted to understand what was going on with the information in his hand, and said, "Don't fool me."
Gao Feng nodded and said, "Wang Xue, you were the last to join our organization, when the organization was on the verge of collapse, in order to prevent someone from leaking secrets, we have taken confidentiality measures against you, some things you are not very clear, now I apologize to you."
Wang Xue was puzzled for a while, she still had something to hide from herself, what was this peak waiting for, but she still accepted his apology in her heart and said, "For the sake of the organization, I can accept any hardship."
Qiyun thought, what kind of organization is so strict with its own members and has to keep secrets, this peak felt that it was not simple from the first time he met him, and now it is even more difficult to guess.
Gao Feng went on to say, "Qiyun, you also saw that Xiao Yong and Cheng Wen are world friends, their ancestors knew each other and worked together for a while, Xiao Yong's grandfather is called Xiao Guoliang, and Cheng Wen's grandfather is called Cheng Guoqing."
Both of them are cadres of country Z, Xiao Guoliang is the mayor of the capital, Cheng Guoqing is the deputy mayor of the capital, and the two got acquainted at work. Cheng Guoqing also found that Xiao Guoliang was too direct, he was arrogant and had something to say, he was absolutely obedient to the organization, and he was too harsh on his subordinates, and he didn't like each other for a while, of course, this was not the main problem.
The most important thing is the earthquake in the capital that occurred in the eighties of the 21st century, the whole country Z was shocked, the capital as the political center completely fell, it was very serious for the entire country Z, all parts of the country were supporting the disaster in the capital, Xiao Guoliang as the mayor of the capital, he personally went to the front line to provide disaster relief, sold all his property to aid the victims, and he and his family lived in a refugee shed; On the other hand, Vice Mayor Cheng Guoqing pretended to be very worried about the life and death of the country on the surface, but his actual actions were not very in place, and he only donated one-tenth of his property, and all the rest of his property was transferred to the name of his son abroad."
After hearing this, Qiyun looked indifferent, this is the selfish side of human nature, and asked, "Why is there such a big difference between the Cheng family and the Xiao family?"
"Then listen to me," Gao Feng said with a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "After the disaster subsides, all the functions of the capital have failed, and water, electricity and food have to be supplied from the outside, as if you have returned to the pre-liberation period all at once, this is an old saying, you may not understand."
Qiyun was still joking with a burst of disdain, Wang Xue suddenly found that Gao Feng was not only cold, but also had this side.
At that time, although the domestic market was stable, in view of the requirements of the capital's scientists, the buildings were built in accordance with the specifications of compression and earthquake resistance.
After Cheng Guoqing, he was out of control, established his own family industry, formed an industrial chain, and suddenly became one of the richest; Although there was state support after Xiao Guoliang, he was squeezed everywhere, and people who were not used to him before came forward, which seriously led to Xiao Guoliang's son Xiao Jian being expelled from the university, and Xiao Guoliang finally died of depression, and these people's attitude towards the Xiao family eased a little. Gao Feng couldn't help but sigh.
In Qiyun's view, society is like this, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and asking, "Is this the truth about the murder of Yongyong"?
Gao Feng shook his head and said, "No, but it's almost, the capital is in urgent need of talents from all walks of life after the disaster, and Xiao Guoliang and Cheng Guoqing have retreated to the back as heroes, so that newcomers have a chance to rise." Xiao Guoliang was named the hero of the Z country, and although Cheng Guoqing didn't gain anything, he didn't lose anything.
Cheng Guoqing later invited Xiao Guoliang to operate the research and development of new materials together, but Xiao Guoliang refused and was scolded.
When their junior Cheng Xin became the mayor of the capital, Xiao Jian was just an ordinary public mayor. The status of the two is very different, and it should be said that they will not be able to meet in eight lifetimes.
The Cheng family is even more terrible when it comes to Cheng Wen's generation, he relies on social relations to advance layer by layer, and he is directly promoted to a first-level official who controls the country's national defense like a fish in water in officialdom; Xiao Yong reluctantly became the director of the Astronomical Bureau by virtue of his interest, but he didn't expect that someone from the Xiao family would enter the officialdom after a generation, the so-called not a rival family does not get together, Cheng Wen's arrogance is well known in the officialdom, but no one dares to say it clearly, for fear of his retaliation.
Xiao Yong couldn't get used to his style, and knew that he secretly founded the Singularity Organization (at that time, the country was still implementing a counter-espionage policy, and this organization was not open underground), and Xiao Yong also immediately founded the Anti-Singularity Organization, which is what you see now, ready to expose his atrocities but accidentally leaked secrets and was blocked, do you understand now"?
