Chapter 176: The Black Pages Group
.
Lights on the city center of ReykjavΓk,.
Usually compared to other areas, the flow of people is not too big HY 8th Street, but after nightfall today, you can see one luxury RV after another driving in.
Because this place of high-rise buildings is where the headquarters of the Black Pages Group is located.
The annual Black Pages Summit, a grand event that attracts the attention of black page brokers and taskers, was held tonight.
The annual Black Pages Summit is not only an excellent opportunity for the elite practitioners of the Black Pages industry to exchange experience, but also for some VIP customers to participate in the event and release various special tasks.
However, the most anticipated part of the Black Pages Summit is the "Unlimited S-level Task", which is a difficult annual task that will not be released on the Black Pages website, but will only be released at the summit site.
After Lu Xuan's calculations, he is now a B-level missionist, and after completing this infinite S mission, as long as he takes two more A-level tasks, he can be upgraded to an S-level mission.
In this way, he has access to the general's black-pages top-secret file in order to achieve the goal of finding and rescuing the missing general.
"We're late, aren't we? Lu Xuan, who was sitting in the second row of the "Super Long Light Energy Rolls-Royce", reminded.
Qiaoqiao, who was in the driver's seat, said with a dark face, "What does it matter if you are late, as long as you don't miss the 'Unlimited S-Class Mission', it's okay, and those polite tricks in front of you, it's not a pity to miss it." β
"Hmm. β
"Besides, I didn't wait a little bit to get to the do.> discount time a little later than I thought, so I delayed it a little bit. Jojo bluffed to cover up his mistakes.
Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't speak, Qiao Qiao added, "Also, whoever drives this car is the same, you know, it is the main computer of the car that reads the electronic map of the city and links with the urban transportation network." According to the road conditions, choose your own route and control the speed. β
"I mean, I can drive this car in manual mode. Lu Xuan proposed.
"No, it's too dangerous, this kind of dangerous driving behavior that has been banned a hundred years ago is too barbaric and unsafe. β
"I'll be in the driver's seat, and we'll all be martial artists, even if there's a car accident. It doesn't hurt us. β
"What if I hurt my car? You know, I've sold this car to a second-hand car dealer, and now it's like they're lending me to drive it for a week, and if something goes wrong with the car, I'm going to pay a lot for it. Jojo shook his head repeatedly.
β......β
When Lu Xuan and Qiao Qiao arrived at Building 690 HY Eighth Avenue, where the Black Pages Group is located.
The Black Pages Summit has already begun twenty minutes.
Since the guests have basically arrived, the black-clad people who are in charge of the security work around the building are heavily armed. They all looked at this "uninvited car" vigilantly.
Several men in black who were close to each other surrounded them at once, and their outflanking movements were almost identical. Although the movements are simple, it seems that they are very well trained.
Qiaoqiao, who slowly got out of the car, had a cold face. He said angrily, "We are all important guests invited by the Black Pages Group, are you welcoming your guests like this?"
"Please present the invitation letter in the black pages. A young blonde man in a black suit walked over from the crowd and said politely.
"Wait. "Hair is coiled high. Qiao Qiao, who was wearing a slender figure, outlined her curves, and a close-fitting black evening dress, was stunned,
Because she didn't seem to have any pockets on her body to put her belongings. So he turned back to the car and picked up the handbag he had thrown on his seat, "Right away." β
After a minute of silence.
The focus of everyone's attention, Qiao Qiao smiled, revealing a hint of embarrassment.
The blonde man in the black suit didn't say anything, still waiting in silence.
Qiao Qiao had no choice but to turn around and look at Lu Xuan, looking indifferent, "Lu, is the invitation from the Black Pages on you?"
"No. β
"Did I forget to be at home?" said Jojo, confused.
"No, you brought it out. Lu Xuan said with certainty.
"It's over, I may have forgotten the Black Pages invitation in do.|Discount time, all evil discount time. Jojo exclaimed.
"Miss, please show the invitation letter in the black pages. The blonde black suit expression was still polite, but the voice had begun to grow cold.
"Yes...... Can't be accommodating, I'm an A-level agent, handsome guy, I also came here a few years ago, maybe you have an impression of me, you are so good, you must remember, right?" Qiao Qiao smiled sweetly.
"There are no black pages invitations, even if the S-level agent comes in person. The blonde black suit said coldly.
"Let's be accommodating, it's not easy for us to go all the way to Iceland, and we can't get into the summit, and I can't fully reimburse my food, lodging and transportation expenses......" Jojo began to pretend to be pitiful with a bitter face.
"Are you here to make trouble?" The eyes of the blonde black suit became sharp, and the man in black behind him also raised his pistol and aimed it at Qiao Qiao and Lu Xuan.
"I'll give you a minute to get out of here right away. The blonde black suit said in a deep voice.
Lu Xuan, who was expressionless, quickly stood in front of Qiao Qiao and blocked the muzzles of those guns for her with his body, "Qiao Qiao, we have to go in, right?"
Qiao Qiao knew what Lu Xuan meant, she was silent for less than a second, and immediately said, "Yes." β
"Then I'll leave it to me. Lu Xuan said lightly.
At the same time as he said this, although there was no murderous outburst, those black-clothed people who had experienced countless births and deaths all felt an inexplicable chill rushing up their backs.
It's rude, and I'm going to invite the two distinguished guests in. "A handsome young man with big silver-rimmed eyes and a bookish face appeared at the door, dressed in a finely made snow-white shirt and black trousers.
"Mr. Cheng. The blonde black suit hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.
"Hello Mr. Cheng. All the men in black bowed their heads and saluted.
"These two are the best among the elites of our Black Pages industry, one is Miss Qiao Qiao, an experienced veteran A-level agent, and the other is Mr. Lu Xuan, a new B-level missionist, who are all special guests of our Black Pages Summit this time. "The bookish young man is like a treasure.
"You know us. Lu Xuan, who was about to break out, had a restrained look in his eyes, and instantly calmed himself down.
"As a staff member of the Black Pages Group Company, I definitely admire the two of them for a long time. The bookish young man walked over, "In the next Cheng Haofeng." β
Lu Xuan calmly stretched out his hand and shook it with him.
"Miss Jojo. Long time no see. Cheng Haofeng smiled.
Qiao Qiao also smiled sweetly, "It's been a long time. β
"It's been good lately. Cheng Haofeng's smile was a little shy.
"Thanks to you, the head of the Special Operations Department of the Black Pages Group, everything is going well. β
Qiaoqiao's smile now is the brightest since Lu Xuan met her.
"However, it seems that this is not the time to catch up, we have to go in, otherwise it will be too late. Qiao Qiao suddenly grabbed Lu Xuan's hand.
This is also a move that Qiao Qiao has never done, although Lu Xuan is a little strange. But he still cooperated very well to let Qiaoqiao's slender little hand hold his big hand and lead him forward.
The men in black had already split a way for the two of them to move forward.
"The two of you have a good time, if you have a chance, I hope that when the party comes, Miss Qiaoqiao can leave me a little time, so that we can catch up. Cheng Haofeng, who was behind the two, raised his voice.
Jojo looked back and smiled. "No problem, see you later. β
The door of the elevator in the lobby. Close the ground for a moment.
Qiao Qiao let go of Lu Xuan's hand.
The two of them were the only ones in the spacious elevator that kept rising, and the opening ceremony of the Black Pages Summit was on the 98th floor of the building.
Jojo didn't speak. Lu Xuan also kept quiet, didn't say anything, didn't ask.
"Your hands are thick. After a moment of silence, Jojo had a smile on his face again.
"Hmm. β
"Guess what I'm thinking right now?"
"Can't guess. Lu Xuan shook his head.
"I wish the elevator was broken and we just stopped in mid-air. I don't go up, I don't go down. β
"No, even if the elevator breaks, I can take you up through the escape. Lu Xuan said lightly.
"I'm just talking about girly romantic fantasies. Do you understand it or not, if you want to climb and climb, I'll stay here. Qiao Qiao glanced at Lu Xuan.
"I don't understand a girl's fantasies, but I know that you're much older than a girl. "Lu Xuan is a serious way.
β......β
"Ding", after a crisp bell, the elevator door opened.
The two of them walked along the red carpet through a small corridor to a huge conference room, which could accommodate 2,000 people, and was almost full.
Although most of the people in the seats were dressed in formal suits, they still couldn't hide the aura of this group of particularly strong people.
The Black Pages Network is definitely the cradle of countless powerful people, and it has become one of the three major non-governmental superpowers in the world.
China Ancient Martial Arts Association, American Mecha Alliance, Black Pages Group.
Lu Xuan and Qiao Qiao quietly looked for two positions in the last row.
At this time, on the podium, is a woman with short hair that reaches her ears, she is in her early thirties with a mature temperament, her facial features are not exquisite, but her eyebrows have a domineering spirit that is rare for women, and her powerful eyes make her relatively petite body look tall.
"She is the vice president and the only executive director of the board of directors of the Black Pages Group, and is the most powerful person except for the boss of the Black Pages Group. Qiao Qiao picked up the walkie-talkie attached to the seat and pressed Lu Xuan's seat number.
Lu Xuan, who had already hung the "sound receiver" in his right ear, nodded to show that he had received it.
"The owner of the Black Pages Group, who has never been seen in public, is said to be one of the ten most mysterious entrepreneurs in the world. β
"Hmm. β
"This executive director, Launey, can be said to be the spokesperson for the boss of the Black Pages, and the annual unlimited S-class mission should be issued by her. Qiao Qiao said the part that Lu Xuan was interested in.
"When will it be released?" Lu Xuan went straight to the point.
"According to the procedure, it should be after the reception that waits for a while. β
"Got it. Lu Xuan nodded.
After a brief exchange, the two looked at Launey on the podium.
"Finally, I would like to thank you again for coming to the headquarters of the Black Pages Group and participating in this year's Black Pages Summit, I believe that with the joint efforts of all of you, our Black Pages will get better and better, and I believe that your future will be better and better like Black Pages. Ronnie bowed slightly.
The conference room immediately erupted in applause.
"By the way, I want to remind you. We have prepared some snacks and drinks upstairs, that is, on the ninety-ninth floor, as well as a variety of alcohol, I believe you will like it very much, and here is another reminder to you, don't miss the release of the annual unlimited S-class task two hours later because you drank too much. This year's S-level~|, I'm sure it will bring you a surprise, so we'll meet here again in three hours. β
The room burst into applause again.
At the suggestion of the experienced Jojo,
She quickly exited first.
"After the end, everyone rushed to the exit, at that time. It will become very difficult to leave, and leaving early is the way to go. Jojo stroked the bun on her head. "The shape is not deformed. β
Lu Xuan frowned, and Qiao Qiao was lucky for a moment before he said his judgment. "It doesn't seem to be. β
For this irregular hairstyle, Lu Xuan can be said to be confused.
"So what are you waiting for, let's go upstairs and take advantage of the fact that there is no one up there. Occupy a good place, feast, and it is no exaggeration to say that the free snacks provided by the Black Pages. It's delicious, and it would be perfect if it could be packed. β
The ninety-ninth floor of the building, unlike the ninety-eighth floor, occupies almost all the space with a huge conference room, which consists of five small halls.
Qiao Qiao chose the largest first hall, as Qiao Qiao expected, there were really few people in the reception hall.
When she pounced on the dazzling array of dim sum, Lu Xuan's eyes fell on all kinds of wine.
"Do you like to drink?" Qiao Qiao quickly returned to Lu Xuan with a large plate of loot.
"I never drink them, but I know them well. Lu Xuan said lightly.
"Oh. β
In the past ten years, the first thing Lu Xuan did whenever he went to a place was to collect local wine and send it as a gift to the general who liked to drink.
Slowly, Lu Xuan found that he knew more and more about various wines, and became more and more adept at analyzing the quality of wine.
"Do you want two drinks? An empathetic waiter came over with a tray of wine.
"I want an absolut. Vodka is one of the general's favorite drinks, and Lu Xuan decided to try it to find out how the general felt when he was drunk.
"I'm going to do the same. Qiaoqiao, who was concentrating all his attention on eliminating the dim sum, took a glass of vodka like Lu Xuan without thinking.
A minute later.
Qiaoqiao, whose face was flushed, squirted out the wine, and she couldn't stop coughing, she forced her mouth to cover her mouth and put down the wine glass.
"Don't you don't drink? I almost died by you when you chose spirits. Jojo blushed and gasped for air.
"You drink too much yourself. Lu Xuan said lightly.
"I saw you take a sip and thought it was something...... Huh......" Qiao Qiao said with a sudden surprise, "I saw an old friend of the agent who I thought had been hung up, I went over to talk to him, you are waiting for me here." β
"Hmm. β
In order to verify the reason why the general liked to get drunk after drinking vodka, he had already drunk more than a dozen glasses of liquor before he knew it, but his body was completely unstoppable, and there was no reaction.
Lu Xuan could only conclude that vodka itself had no effect on the human body, just because the general wanted to go crazy with alcohol, so he went crazy, commonly known as pretending to be crazy with alcohol.
In fact, Lu Xuan's conclusion is very aggrieved for normal people, Lu Xuan is not only a physical cultivator, but also an innate eleventh level physical cultivator, and no matter how strong the wine is, the impact on him is minimal.
In the process of Lu Xuan's drinking, Qiao Qiao had already chatted with several groups of people.
Qiaoqiao is definitely a natural agent, it seems that she can become very familiar with everyone at once, whether it is new knowledge or old knowledge, she will not feel abrupt when she stands with any group of people, you will feel that she belongs to that group.
The reception at the Black Pages Summit is an important part of the attendees, as the exchange of information between brokers and missionees is often done here.
This cocktail party is also known as the rebirth moment in the industry, because many black pages agents and taskers will pick this moment as an opportunity to choose a new partner, whether it is because of the tacit understanding of cooperation, or the different expectations of both parties, the partner combination of the black pages network will not always be unbreakable, and it is not uncommon to break up the gang.
A combination like Lu Xuan and the general, who have never abandoned each other and cooperated for seven years, naturally won't care about this cocktail party.
When the smiling Qiao Qiao was chatting with a black woman in an evening dress, Cheng Haofeng came behind her.
After Lu Xuan watched the two of them exchange pleasantries, Qiao Qiao waved goodbye to the black woman, followed behind Cheng Haofeng with a smile, and walked towards the hanging garden on the hundredth floor.
Lu Xuan was suddenly a little worried about Qiao Qiao, but after thinking about it, he would definitely not interfere with the private meeting of the two old people.
The two of them ascended the ninety-ninth floor of the staircase to the hundredth-floor garden.
Lu Xuan, who couldn't rest assured of Qiaoqiao, although he didn't follow, he stood quietly at the staircase and waited.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The people at the party also became fewer and fewer, and gradually dispersed.
"Levi, are you there?" Lu Xuan activated his "substitute" agent.
"In. β
"Perform a 'biological wave' scan with a diameter of 500 meters for me to determine Jojo's survival status. β
"Roger, Jojo...... She fluctuated vividly, and showed no signs of life being threatened. β
"Hmm. β
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, Jojo is just catching up with an old friend, I'm just a little worried. Lu Xuan said lightly.
"I see, you wait. Levi said.
Suddenly there was a noisy sound from the communication chip, and then the wind, which seemed to be very windy.
Then a man's voice rang out.
"As I said, when you see me again, I'll kill you if you still like me. β
Deathly silence.
The wind is blowing louder and louder, and the whole world seems to be withering.
Lu Xuan frowned. "Then you kill me. Jojo's familiar voice rang out.
