Chapter 47: The Wind and the Moon (5)
The glass carved hanging objects glow brightly, and the otherwise bleak environment brightens up when a light source is lit, and music is played from hidden stereos on all sides, lighting up the atmosphere in the bar.
The hour hand hanging on the wall points to 'nine,' and it's time for parents to set the time when their children should go home, but this rule doesn't work in the heart of downtown San Francisco, where night shows are about to begin, and for some, they're just starting to get agitated.
Smoke poured from the jets above, mingling with the aroma of mint, and Lu Mingfei sat in the corner of the bar, a black suitcase to his left, with a four-color cocktail in front of him and a bird feather stuck in it.
"Pay attention, if you guess correctly, 'Wind' will definitely come to scout the terrain tonight, you should remember his general physical characteristics, you must pay attention to such people." Alice reminded in the headset.
"Don't worry, I remember." Lu Mingfei pretended to be drinking and said softly: "I will reduce the frequency of my speech as much as possible, otherwise someone will find out that something is wrong." Just don't worry, I've been listening. ”
"Okay. We'll send a female executive to sit at the edge of the bar and have a drink, don't worry, she's a good drinker and she's pretty skilled, as long as you keep an eye on the person she's talking to. Alice continued.
Lu Mingfei was stunned: "Let her pretend to be fishing for Kaizi?" ”
"What does it mean to fish Kaizi, forgive me for not being good enough in Chinese. She will wait for a man to talk to her, and she will also show a money worship, believing that she can attract the attention of 'wind'. ”
Lu Mingfei drank the crystal liquid in the wine glass and knocked on the table: "Please make me another glass, just look at the mood, don't be too strong." ”
"Yes sir." The bartender took Lu Mingfei's 'centurion' card with a pure black frosted face, flipped it in his hand, gasped and lit up, and glanced up and down at the boy who didn't care about it, his expression became more and more respectful.
What is the concept of the American Express black card This experienced bartender naturally knows, and it is pure black, which means that with this card, you can spend anywhere you want, and there is no upper limit.
In other words, the bank believes that the person holding the card will be able to repay him whenever and wherever he spends.
After carefully brushing it on the POS machine, the bartender immediately returned the hot black card, and looked at the boy from time to time while bartending, speculating which family this was the son of the family, daring to take a black card without a password to come out and drink alone.
Putting the black card on the suitcase, Lu Mingfei squinted his eyes and continued to drink.
The black card was placed by Pompeii in the cigar box, and it read, 'A little interest on Caesar, spend it as you like, and pay me back when you graduate.' Lu Mingfei was a little hesitant, after all, this was under Alice's eyelids, and it would inevitably be despised if he accepted it directly, and the reputation of the Gattuso family in the academy was not very good.
But Alice said that he really should have taken it, and it was a shame that the dignified playboy came out to drink, and it was a shame not to throw out a premium credit card at the checkout, and Pompeii was thoughtful.
Half-pushed, half-pushed, Lu Mingfei also put the card away.
Even so, he only plans to brush it up at school on weekdays and have a few big meals with Fingal, and the whereabouts of the black card can be found by the Gattuso family at any time, and there may be some positioning system installed on it, if it is because of this purpose of exposing himself, it will be a little more than worth the loss.
There are not many people on this floor, and there are almost no girls who are alone, and most of them come to relax with their boyfriends.
Lu Mingfei originally suggested going to the second and third floors to have a look, but Schneider rejected his suggestion, according to the analysis of the executive department, the target of 'wind' is generally a single woman, and walking back and forth is too suspicious.
"Will he really come?" Lu Mingfei looked at the colorful neon lights above his head and muttered.
That princess mask really left a deep impression on him, if he didn't investigate it, I'm afraid Lu Mingfei would have trouble sleeping for the next period of time.
"Say it again, get out of the way."
A roar interrupted Lu Mingfei's thoughts, he covered his ears, looked at the time, and was a little impatient.
It's only been a while after nine o'clock, and someone has drunk too much to provoke trouble? What kind of alcohol do you drink with this amount of alcohol, and isn't it good to go to a table with children and drink some juice?
"Sir, don't do this, I'll call the police if I do it again." Hearing the manager's voice, Lu Mingfei tilted his head to look at the incident, he had a good impression of that man, and at a glance he knew that he was quite a person who could do things.
"I told you to get up, can't you understand?" It was a rather stocky man, with dreadlocks up to his waist and a flushed face, pushing the manager in front of him who was blocking his way.
"Sir, this lady doesn't want to drink with you, please be sensible." Williams was still talking, his shirt on his chest had been crummed, and his tie had gone somewhere.
Lu Mingfei frowned and stood up, only then did he see a girl standing in the crowd, not tall, very young, it was estimated that she was also checked before she was let in, her skin was fair and sickly, with silver hair and blue eyes, her face was full of panic, and she was hiding behind many waiters shivering.
"When it comes, there will be these rat." Lu Mingfei whispered.
"Don't be impulsive, maybe that man is a bait sent by 'wind', to see if there are any undercover agents such as police in the field, this kind of thing is the favorite of those who want to be heroes." Alice whispered.
"Don't worry, it's just a little noisy, I'm afraid I'll startle the snake." Lu Mingfei sat down again.
The eyes of the entire floor of the bar were gathered at the door, but the man who was making trouble didn't care about rushing to the girl, and the manager and a few waiters couldn't stop him, but a few men who were drinking came over and pressed the person to the ground together.
The police arrived at the scene after a while, took the people away, and the farce subsided.
Lu Mingfei looked at the manager at the door sweating, stared for a long time, and sighed.
"What's the matter, junior brother, can't you sit still?"
"No, I have a very strange feeling." Lu Mingfei tapped the glass lightly with his fingers.
"What?"
"Forget it, I'm just a person who likes to think nonsense." Lu Mingfei smiled and turned his head to look at the girl on the side who had just finished cooperating with the transcript.
Like a porcelain doll...... Lu Mingfei thought about it, it looked a bit like zero, referring to the appearance, the personality is diametrically opposed to zero, zero is the kind of cold girl at first glance, some don't eat fireworks, and when you are squinted, you will feel frozen.
This girl looks soft and weak, like the kind of silent and angry bag in the class, she won't resist when others ask her to do her homework, and if it's really uncomfortable, she will only find a place to cry secretly for a while.
Why is such a girl in a bar?
Lu Mingfei was suddenly a little curious.
"Don't forget who you are, our playboy, let's go if you have a goal." Alice, as if encouraging the panda to climb to the keeper of the opposite sex, encouraged: "There are not many opportunities, I see that there are already many people in the house who are ready to move, and their hands are slow!" ”
Senior sister, how do you know that when Chinese merchants encourage women to buy things, should you have been fooled in China, Lu Mingfei stuck out his tongue and complained secretly.
But then again, Alice was right, and it wasn't right that he was sitting here drinking all the time.
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, picked up the wine glass, got up, and leaned over in full view of everyone.
"Hello, beautiful girl, seeing that you are alone like me, can you have a few drinks?" Lu Mingfei smiled.
"But... OK. The girl's face turned red, her head bowed, and she twisted a little, apparently not having much experience.
"Go to me, it's crowded here, and it's not convenient to chat." Lu Mingfei proposed.
"Okay."
The two sat down, and Lu Mingfei was a little surprised to see the girl's face up close.
The eyes that should have been as crystal clear as sea water were a little dull at this time, perhaps affected by the dark circles around them, and it could be seen that the girl should have something on her mind, and she hadn't had a good rest for a few days.
"Yours have beautiful silver hair." Lu Mingfei praised the girl's appearance, and asked the other party directly if there was anything on his mind in the first chat, which was like sending himself to death, and the most correct way was to make the other party feel happier first.
"Thank you." The girl raised the wine glass, the two light eyebrows frowned slightly, and then flashed back to normal, dipped her lips in the wine for a few moments, the liquid level of the glass did not drop, Lu Mingfei noticed this, and pretended to glance at the girl's whole body inadvertently.
From the gray sheepskin boots to the light blue jacket, they are all the best brands on the market, it seems that the girl's family is quite good, if the money for wine is not a problem, the only explanation is that she does not drink at all, but can sit here for a while.
Exhaling slightly, Lu Mingfei drank the wine in the cup in one go, snapped his fingers, asked for two cups of hot coffee, and said to the girl: "I'm not in good health, would you mind drinking coffee with me?" ”
"Of course not." For the first time, the girl's face was filled with a smile, and the smile was so beautiful that Lu Mingfei was a little distracted for a while, if this girl wasn't sad for something, she should be the kind of princess who was sought after by thousands of people, and her smile and smile carried some kind of magic.
And so, in a bar in the middle of the night in San Francisco, a man and a woman chatted over steaming coffee.
They talked about trivial things in school from Tiannan Haibei, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years, and there was nothing they couldn't talk about. The girl talked endlessly as if she had opened a conversation, her name was Lena, and Lu Mingfei guessed the surname for a long time without guessing it, and the latter finally simply gave up and changed the topic.
Lina's parents are well-known directors and actors in China, their ancestors have been like this for generations, and four generations in a row have made a name for themselves in the film and television industry, and her parents are also looking forward to Lina, so they began to cultivate her singing and dancing talents since she was a child.
Lena has a beautiful voice, first-class looks, and a slightly mediocre figure, but not only sexy women with long legs can be favored by the world, science shows that petite girls are more likely to arouse men's desire to protect, which in turn translates into affection.
She studied at a well-known art university in San Francisco, majoring in acting, but her hobby is singing, and she plans to enter the showbiz by her parents if she can't become famous by singing after graduation.
The only thing that has changed now is this body...... Lena's body is quite weak, and she has to go to the hospital for treatment every once in a while, and the family takes care of her every other day, which also leads to her being strictly managed in terms of food.
Originally, wine was something she couldn't touch, but today it's because of ...... Speaking of this, the girl stopped talking, lowered her head and stopped talking, and Lu Mingfei immediately said after observing it, "It's not good to let you keep talking, or listen to me." ’
Seeing the girl bow her head slightly, Lu Mingfei continued according to her memory.
In the boy's narration, he is a good young man with excellent academics and dedicated to studying, and he was admitted to Stanford University with his hard work to study his favorite computer, and he knocked on the black box next to him, and the girl stared at Lu Mingfei's face, motionless, listening to him introduce his identity completely.
At the other end of the channel, Schneider sighed, and Alice picked up the microphone several times to remind Lu Mingfei not to leak his mouth, but finally put it down.
Lu Mingfei completely filled in many details on the identity skeleton made up for him by the executive department, such as 'My father used to play with me when he was a child, but now he is busy with business, I can only play by myself', or 'I want to graduate early and work in my father's company' Yunyun, several listeners were dumbfounded, looked at Alice and asked if this was really Lu Mingfei's impromptu play.
"Our S-class is doing a good job, that skeleton is indeed a little too hollow, if it is asked, there will be flaws, Alice remember." Schneider said.
"He looks...... Experienced? Especially when it comes to chatting with girls. A commissioner said: "But his emotional experience is obviously zero." ”
"In China, it is said that people who don't have lovers often give advice to people who have lovers, and often those who don't have lovers are masters, just like Chu Zihang, Chu Zihang, you all know it, there is no shortage of girls but you don't care at all." Alice didn't look weird.
"I see." Everyone held their foreheads, sighing that the modesty and low-key of the Chinese nation had reached such a point, obviously not interested in Chu Zihang, but he could pretend to be an elm head, I am afraid that he was afraid of hitting the self-confidence of other students.
Compared to him, Caesar was somewhat unsatisfactory in this respect.
In the bar, Lena and Lu Mingfei chatted in full swing, the two were already able to joke with each other, Lu Mingfei said that in fact, I just wanted to come and just drink two glasses of wine and go back to sleep well, Lena said that she didn't think that people who simply drank would take the initiative to talk.
Lu Mingfei said that in fact, he actually had little experience in chatting with girls, so Lena smiled and poked the boy's waist and asked him how many girl friends he had talked about, and Lu Mingfei looked embarrassed before giving up.
The two drank a few cups of coffee, and the laughter was thick for a long time, and Lena seemed to muster up courage: "Actually, you can see what I'm worried about." ”
"I can see it."
"But why don't you ask me?"
"Because I don't think we knew each other well enough to talk about it."
"Then why don't you ask me now?" Lena asked with a smile.
"Because now you have to take the initiative to tell me, or I'll ask." Lu Mingfei was also smiling.
"You also said you couldn't chat." The girl giggled, looked around a few times, her expression suddenly became serious, and whispered in Lu Mingfei's ear: "In the past two days, I feel like I have been followed. ”
