Chapter 268: Paris Mission (3)
"Albert Butler Workshop" also translates to "Albert Butler Workshop", and it is supposed to be the top restaurant in Paris, as there are only three three-star Michelin restaurants in the whole of Paris...... Oh, and there's also a five-star Michelin restaurant.
Not far from where Wang Cheng works, the restaurant is located at the mouth of the alley on the other side of Notre-Dame Cathedral (left bank), the hall is made of pure gold and marble, decorated in the style of the Louis 16 period of the Palace of Versailles, the interior is resplendent with gold, and the ceiling is also painted with huge frescoes, so that sitting at the dining table has a palace feeling of dining at the Palace of Versailles.
This restaurant was originally an annex to the butler training school, serving the aristocracy in the 16th century, and later the aristocracy gradually declined, and the number of students in the butler school became less and less, but this restaurant has become one of the top restaurants in the world with high-quality service, magnificent restaurant design, and top-notch enjoyment during dining. Today, the chef of the restaurant is still the king of international gastronomy, winning numerous awards. One of the hallmarks of ordering at this restaurant is that the menu of the day is based on the fresh ingredients that the chef can purchase at the market to ensure that the dishes are absolutely the freshest of the day.
This rule was first established when printing was not yet widespread, and restaurants did not provide menu menus, so the ingredients obtained in the kitchen were written on small chalkboards every day. When a table is served, the waiter awkwardly moves the blackboard to the diner's table for you to order – a habit that has not changed to this day.
Zhou Ran was not familiar with such a restaurant, and her stage fright made her hand over the right to order, looking at the dense French on the small blackboard, listening to Wang Cheng discuss with the waiter in skillful sentences that the freshest and the rarest of today's ingredients appeared, and countless little stars appeared in her eyes, waiting for the waiter to push the small blackboard and walk away. Only then did Zhou Ran remember...... This is really a French meal, and Wang Cheng ordered almost forty dishes. Half per person means no one is going to eat twenty servings.
The people around were well-dressed. The palatial palace-style restaurant was filled with an indescribable arrogance, which made Zhou Ran dare not speak loudly, she leaned down and lowered her voice and said, "So much...... Can you eat it? ”
At this time, Lily passed by Wang Cheng's dining table with a man in his thirties in his hand, and Wang Cheng had an extra TIF card in his pocket...... This is the company's most recent form of contact: Lily on campus. Use the school's line to transmit scientific research data, and accept encrypted memory cards. The decryption password was transmitted to Wang Cheng separately, so that Lily could not read the memory card even if he received it. And Wang Cheng only has decryption instructions...... Any link was intercepted. All they got was a bunch of garbled characters - on the note that Wang Cheng had just received, there was a long number, which was the decryption serial number, and by entering the serial number into the decryption software, you could get unique and complete information.
It is said that this method of information transmission was inspired by Ben. Bin laden. Received a closely guarded Ben. In order not to reveal the hiding place, bin Laden used human resources for the transmission of intelligence. This allowed him to evade the search of the U.S. military for several years before he was accidentally betrayed......
Wang Cheng put his hand in his pocket, outsiders can hardly see the movement of his hand, he has already loaded the memory card into the personal terminal, the long string of serial numbers is not a magic horse for him, his hand moved in his pocket, silently entered the serial number, and his mouth coped with Zhou Ran's question: "It doesn't matter, this is an old-fashioned French restaurant, and the cooking habits they use are still from the 16th century." Therefore, their dishes are quite large, and there is only one bite on it, and you can eat it after dividing it by two. ”
Zhou Ran looked timidly left and right, and continued to whisper: "I heard that when you eat such a meal, you have a whole set of table manners......
The personal terminal in his pocket was activated, and Wang Cheng continued to say expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter, it's the 21st century, and not many people adhere to the dining etiquette of the 16th century." You just eat yours and don't drop the food on you, even if it's etiquette. ..., Zhou Ran said with stage fright: "You remind me more." ”
Wang Cheng nodded, then took out his mobile phone and pointed: "I'll make a call." ”
"Don't-" Zhou Ran nervously stopped: "Wait a minute, can you wait until the food is served before leaving?" ”
"It's not appropriate to serve the food and then leave, don't worry, I'll be back in a few minutes", when Wang Cheng walked over, he patted Zhou Ran on the shoulder and said in a relaxed tone: "Relax, you are a customer, this restaurant is famous for its service, and it is their purpose to give customers an emperor-like enjoyment, no matter what you do, you are their God!" ”
Zhou Ran's shoulders were no longer tense, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief...... She came to France in her final year of high school and was not as wary of strangers as she was in China. In this romantic capital, meeting someone, starting a friendship, and even love, is a very common thing, under the influence of the environment, Zhou Ran met Wang Cheng, and the attitude was very natural, although they had only known each other for one day, although Wang Cheng was always expressionless, but she did not mention that Wang Cheng was not at ease.
After Wang Cheng walked away, Zhou Ran naturally looked around the restaurant, there are small tables and big tables in the gorgeous restaurant, the small table can only be used for two people, and the big table is seven or eight people, and now the small tables in the restaurant are almost full, although the big table is empty, but there is a reservation card on each table, showing that the table has been booked.
The diners at the small table seem to be lovers, and they are very intimate with each other, often whispering with their faces together - this is French romance, every Frenchman wants to stick to you when he talks to someone, and the tactfulness of French ...... You can also think of it as babbling, verbosity, a real French man, who wants to please someone, his words are a buzz of flies, which is unbearable for the quiet person.
From this point of view, Wang Cheng, who has few words and is silent, is in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people, although his expression is very cold, and he can almost be said to be a man with facial paralysis.
was looking around, a woman sitting next to her stood up and walked gracefully to the bathroom, Zhou Ran didn't know that this woman was Lily, her curious eyes followed Lily for only four or five seconds, the waiter walked into her and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what is the aperitif?" ”
Zhou Ran turned to face the waiter, she was a little nervous, but the waiter's respectful attitude made her muster up the courage to say, "Mint wine, thank you!" ”
It is said that French women wear makeup an average of 7.3 times throughout their meal. So during the meal, it is very common for ladies to get up frequently to go to the bathroom, and when eating, women who like to maintain their manners eat every dish. Draw lipstick once, and men understand. Lily walked into the bathroom corridor. Wang Cheng just folded his phone. The two did not talk, they each moved in opposite directions, and when they passed shoulders again, the memory card was handed from Wang Cheng's hand to Lily's hand. And Wang Cheng whispered without squinting: "Drop by business." ”
Lily covered her mouth and coughed under her breath. It's a code. Wang Cheng stopped his steps, Lily's handbag randomly fell to the ground, and Wang Cheng pretended to hear the sound. Turn around and help Lily pick up her pouch...... There is another memory card in the palm of your hand. He graciously handed the handbag to Lily: "Madame." Your bag. ”
Lily responded with the same gentleness: "Thank you, you are so sweet." ”
The two sides walked away from each other like strangers, and Wang Cheng returned to the table, and the waiter, who had been watching for a long time, immediately brought "somethingbeforeeverything" (pre-dinner appetizers). One of the appetizers is a vegetable roll, and the other is a small dessert decorated with chestnut shells. The lotus holder on the chestnut shell is folded with a napkin. The pine planks underneath are covered with coarse-grained sea salt. That small ball that can be eaten is fried mashed potatoes. The vegetable rolls are tuna sashimi wrapped in cabbage with a hint of wasabi.
Zhou Ran and Wang Cheng each picked up a knife and fork. Usually a pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres, the waiter serves bread and butter. There are only two slices of bread, and the butter is a whole piece of salted butter the size of a soap – this is made by the chef himself, and if customers can't finish it, the rest is discarded. ..., the pre-dinner appetizer is only about the size of a ping-pong ball, and you can swallow it in one bite, and after these two pre-dinner appetizers come, there is another dish - small vegetable cubes and raw salmon cubes. The carrots are mixed with herb cubes and salmon cubes to give it a faint tataki flavor. Underneath is green green bean puree, and the fresh flavor of the vegetables highlights the saltiness of the fish.
Next up is the main meal – the first thing that comes up is the shredded crab meat. The crab meat is cut into shreds, the raw crab shreds do not have any seasoning, covered with a piece of sweet and sour cheese, covered with a slice of white radish, the crab meat is white and crystalline, lined with white radish slices, the whole dish looks very refreshing, sprinkled with a little crab roe and a little truffle on the radish slices. The fiber of the crab meat is very fine, and the length and thickness of each thread are the same, plus the fragrance of the truffle, and the deliciousness of the crab roe, I almost bite off my tongue when I eat it.
The second dish is still seafood, this dish has a long name, from ancient French, barely translated as "fresh mushroom shellfish", the shell is made of Arctic shells, small round shells, mussels, pearl oysters...... Today's kitchen purchases Arctic shellfish, and the fresh mushrooms are chanterelle mushrooms. A large plate is served with only one shell, plus a few mushrooms, and covered with a piece of green cabbage - this kind of green vegetables is called "Shanghai green" in China, chicken hair cabbage. In Europe, this kind of green vegetable does not grow much, and the whole vegetable is only the thickness of a thumb.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them each ate five dishes, a total of ten dishes to the stomachs of the two, Zhou Ran felt even hungrier, she stopped the knife and fork, and whispered: "I only know now that I can make money washing dishes for Mao to go to a foreign restaurant, you see, the French eat once, and two or three people can barely fill their stomachs with a hundred dishes, and this restaurant doesn't need tens of thousands of plates every day?" ”
"And wine glasses", Wang Cheng added gently: "We change each dish to an aperitif, or drink ......"
The five-course meal was just the beginning, and after filling their stomachs at the beginning, the two began to make small talk - like a French couple. At the end of the meal, of course, they exchanged gifts, Wang Cheng gave each other the classic "pony carriage" perfume, and then, the two walked out of the restaurant like a pair of friends.
Standing at the door of the restaurant, waiting for the waiter to take his luggage and drive over, Wang Cheng showed a stiff smile on his face and encouraged: "Spray on perfume, let me remember your taste." ”
Zhou Ran couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that French facial paralysis men are also romantic, look at this ...... words"
She obediently took out the perfume given by Wang Cheng and sprayed two drops on herself, but Wang Cheng instigated: "Be stronger, make it stronger, I hope to remember your intensity." ”
Zhou Ran shook his head, smiled and continued to spray perfume on himself: "No, no matter how thick it is, it's like a prostitute." ”
Because of the drink, the driver of the restaurant diligently sent Wang Cheng all the way home, and the two were much closer on the way, but they did not kiss and did not take further action, which may be the coldness of Wang Cheng's body that stopped Zhou Ran, or maybe Zhou Ran's conservatism - she didn't expect to take further action at all, so the two just wrapped their fingers around each other, and chirped...... didn't talk about love, just talked about each other's living habits, hoping that the other party could understand and tolerate.
Speaking of which. Both appear to be new immigrants and unfamiliar with France. are groping each other. So the two felt that this way of getting along was natural - at least Zhou Ran thought so.
The waiter carried the luggage into Wang Cheng's bedroom and automatically said goodbye, Wang Cheng had no intention of helping Zhou Ran pack his luggage, he returned to his bedroom and started working. And Zhou Ran put his luggage ...... Mainly books and clothing. Once you've set it up, start connecting to your computer. Report to parents via video.
Wang Cheng's home is very large, with several pairs of fitness equipment in the living room, and there is still a large open space for more than a dozen people to move. On the steps of the duplex are the kitchen and dining room. There are two large bedrooms on the left and right of the living room. Wang Cheng's master bedroom is slightly larger, with a desk, wardrobe, toilet and bathroom, and the space in the guest room is slightly smaller, with a bathroom taking up most of the space, and after putting a desk, the space is even narrower...... But this space is still larger than Zhou Ran's dormitory. ..., Zhou Ran's parents were a little puzzled that their daughter could get such a sharing opportunity. Out of instinctive vigilance, they wanted to see Wang Cheng. In order to explain how to get this opportunity, Zhou Ran exaggerated the scene of her encounter with Wang Cheng several times, and turned it into Zhou Ran rescuing Wang Cheng who fainted at that time, thus ...... Since he lied, before communicating and colluding with each other, Zhou Ran didn't want his parents to see Wang Cheng, so he had to shirk Wang Cheng and go out......
After the video call, Zhou Ran came to Wang Cheng's bedroom, listened to the movement in the house, and faintly heard the crackling sound of the computer keyboard, and she quietly returned to her bedroom.
At this time, Wang Cheng was translating the information sent by Lily in the bedroom, and he heard Zhou Ran's movements, but because the two had agreed with each other not to interfere in each other's life and work, he didn't open the door to greet him, and continued to search for information on the Internet.
This is the first time Wang Cheng has presided over the operation, and the performance script must be collected from scratch. Wang Cheng took advantage of the convenience of reporters to begin to collect the backgrounds, social relations, social habits, etc., and in the past two weeks, these materials have been gradually improved, and the next step is to screen and select a list of people who may have access to the information, and then determine the action plan.
This is a delicate task that requires patience and meticulousness.
Next, it is necessary to take into account a convenient task - according to the business plan determined by the company's crimes, the French area is temporarily under the responsibility of Wang Cheng, and if there is any relevant business during this period, Wang Cheng can easily complete it.
However, this kind of task has a certain danger - the company's key employees are scattered all over the world at the same time, lurking to cut off direct contact with the company, in order to lure out these lurking people, it is not ruled out that M7 will set up several bait tasks, so as to lure the snake out of the hole for the lurking personnel to be exposed, how to judge these businesses, is the responsibility of the local team leader - Wang Cheng.
Of course, every task is not free, in view of the current state of the company's operation, all the latent teams will set up a short account with the Solomon Islands or the Seychelles, and the customer must pay the full amount into this account when making an appointment, and unfreeze it after the business is completed and the customer confirms. This means that if the group's course of action is brilliant enough that no clues can be traced after the fact, then swallow the bait and still be able to get off the hook.
The memory card that Wang Cheng received in the restaurant had such a mission: to assassinate a wealthy Russian.
This Russian tycoon, about fifty or sixty years old, is named Alexei. Ivanovich. Evgeny, who was the head of a certain department at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, preemptively joined forces with several people to buy privatization debts that others did not want in the process of privatization, and thus became the new owner of several large state-owned enterprises...... Of course, this process is full of blood and darkness, in order to compete for dominance, in order to squeeze out competitors, in order to seize, this rich man resorts to all kinds of bloody means.
Now, revenge has come - a "partner" who had been beaten by him, but stiffened but did not die, decided to eradicate him. So came up with this bounty: fifteen million euros.
In fact, in Russia, it may cost only tens of thousands of dollars to kill a person. The reason why the client does not want to do it in Russia is probably because he is worried about retaliation after the fact, or because he is worried that it will not be convenient to embezzle the other party's property afterwards...... However, this is no longer the scope of Wang Cheng's concern.
Alexei, like many Russian billionaires, because money comes easily, and money is spent like water. Paris is the preferred vacation destination for many Russian tycoons, and every winter, many Russian tycoons will charter flights to Paris to spend the cold time. Of course, their planes were also filled with beautiful Russian girls. Rich Russians love freshness. I often change a group of girls every week. But sometimes, they will look for Parisian prostitutes from the locals, or local college girls, to participate in their ** feast. ...Of course. Most of the wealthy Russians are cautious, and their fortune process is a bit unclean. During their time in France, they lived in seclusion, with little contact with the locals, and most of the girls they needed were picked up by special planes from Russia. The search for local prostitutes is also never fixed. Often disguised as an ordinary high roller, he didn't say where he met, he even pulled the bustard to the airport together, and the plane went around without saying where he landed, and directly pulled the prostitute to the house for the next item, and then the special plane sent him back - so how to approach him is a big problem. Starting with a local prostitute is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Holiday villas for the wealthy are also not easy to approach. In particular, the customer asked to do it like an accident...... Wang Cheng devised a number of plans in his mind, and he felt that he owed a little bit, because any action during this period could be baited, and each action had to bypass two waves of surveillance, one belonging to Alexei and the other wave possibly from M7, so the action must be seamless, without warning, without a trace.
When thinking about the plan, Wang Cheng suddenly thought of the "dream maker" - no wonder M7 wants to train such a character, if it is a big dream to cover up the invasion, then the matter will be much simpler. It's a pity that the dreamer met Wang Cheng for the first time, and as a result, all further evolution possibilities were stifled.
Of course, the Dream Maker's mistake this time is also rewarding, Wang Cheng's shielding expertise was exposed in this operation, and M7's assassination of him will be more accurate and targeted in the future. What kind of evolutionary will he encounter next time?
Wait, thought of it! Sopor?!
Wang Cheng suddenly remembered something, he immediately connected to the Internet, and called Lily on the Internet - the target of the action may be a decoy, a monitoring object, and the line is tied to the M7 end, but the team members are isolated from the company, and the secret calls between each other are completely normal, Paris, the metropolis, has a population of tens of millions every day, and hundreds of millions of calls to each other every day, as long as they bypass telecommunications control, do not say sensitive words in conversation, or communicate in a cold language, no one pays attention to isolated private contact.
For Europeans, the most obscure language is the authentic Chinese language - "Wu dialect".
The majority of the Chinese in Paris are Wenzhou and Fujian, and the Wu dialect is the ancient Chinese language before the Song Dynasty, and it is only popular in the southeast of Anhui and Anhui, Huizhou, Huangshan, Jixi, and Xuancheng in modern times.
Lily is the liaison center of the eight-member team, and after Lily and the other team members are connected, Wang Cheng reports the latest situation: Target No. 1 (God Particle Research Team) has three people on vacation recently, and only one of them chooses to vacation in Paris, but this person is confirmed to be irrelevant, the "Joker" can contact him, and the rest of the personnel continue to lurk.
"Now I want to set an early warning: it is necessary to infiltrate the Russian flight surveillance system to monitor the second target (Alexei. Ivanovich. Evgeny). Of course, he may also fly with his companions, and his special plane may also be loaned to others, but I need a record of every flight of that special plane. In order to further confirm his mobile status, I need to infiltrate the Russian communication system to locate the mobile phone movement of target No. 2 - the phone number of target No. 2 is ......, and immediately check the owner's information. ”
"Coincidentally!" The "doll" in charge of communication dispatch high-fived and shouted: "This mobile phone has just been turned off, the location is at Smolensk airport, there is only one plane at the airport that needs to take off, and the landing location is unknown, but the owner of this plane is not the owner of the mobile phone." ”
"Opportunity", Wang Cheng also high-fived: "No one expected us to act so quickly, he just happened to be on his own plane, so it's just right!" Fifteen million euros, everybody. ”
In this, the new generation does not know the change in the company's business model, Lily knows, she squirmed her lips, wanting to remind Wang Cheng not to make such a quick decision, but immediately she took on her own responsibility: "There is no pre-script - the doll continues to stare at the plane, see where he landed, whirlwind ......"
"The script is there", Wang Cheng interjected: "I know that the NATO military has a chemical weapon, a canister the size of a car fire extinguisher, which can make a city sleep soundly." The chemical weapon was hidden in the UK, Doll and Lily continued to stare at the plane, and the rest of us went with me to the UK, and we went to pick up the weapon. ”
At this time, Zhou Ran, who heard the sound of talking in the room, walked out of her bedroom curiously and walked towards Wang Cheng's room......
