At 10:21 a.m., in the lobby of Hotel 13 of the Phoebus Manor Hotel, a dark gray base yellow lion-patterned carpet covered the spacious hall, Jean sat on the right side of the entrance, chatting with some women.

Jewell's eyes widened unhappily, and Luxi next to him dragged Jewell's arm.

"I'm really sorry, I'm very sorry, Lord Jewell, I've already contacted the technical staff to deal with it, there is a small problem with the facilities in room 1386 and room 1387 you booked, you wait and we'll deal with it."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Swap two rooms for us. ”

At this time, many people in the hall were extremely surprised, after all, they could see two section chiefs, and most of the women's eyes were always on Jean, while some men were breaking their mouths, after all, Jewell's name was the talk of the streets and alleys after dinner in the city.

"I'm really sorry Lord Jewell, many of today's rooms have been booked, please stop your anger!"

The hotel manager had brought a bunch of foremen, and some of the waiters had already brought out some good pastries, hoping that Jewell would wait a little longer.

"Okay, okay, understand people's difficulties."

Jewell just wanted to go to the room to sleep at this time, after all, he didn't get enough sleep, so he was very irritable and angry, Luxi dragged Jewell to sit next to Jean's sofa area, and immediately some waiters took flowers and pastries, and put them over with tea, and stood aside respectfully.

The manager nodded and stood aside, his eyes looked at the door from time to time, Jewell seemed to realize something, he hated others the most for treating him as an idiot, Luxi also seemed to understand, the manager said that the facilities in the room were broken was just an excuse, in fact, it was to drag them down, waiting for someone to come.

Lu Xi suppressed Jewell as much as he could, dragging his arm to death, and Ran Zai was already asleep on the sofa on the other side at this time.

"Otherwise, the manager, I'll open two more rooms, and if there are spare rooms, book two rooms for us."

Jean stood up and said with a smile, the manager was completely stunned at this time, he looked at Jean and Jewell with some fear, and finally Locke in a black suit walked in in the distance.

"Isn't this Lord Jean and Lord Jewell?"

Locke walked in with a smile on his face, and immediately came in, and Jewell stood up, by this time he couldn't take it anymore.

"What I personally hate the most is to be treated as a fool, if it's really a broken facility, then take me to see it, I have the maintenance technology of light and shadow products, compared to your technicians, let me help you repair it."

Jean smiled and nodded to the women next to him and walked over.

"Mr. Locke, we're just here today for a vacation, so I won't bother you."

Locke immediately smiled and leaned over.

"It's better to meet by chance on a certain day, or it's better to have a meal, after all, the two of you come here, let's have a light meal together."

Jewell looked at the manager angrily, and Jean tilted his head back and smiled as he lit a cigarette.

"Eating is free, after all, newlyweds need time alone, and I don't want anyone to bother them."

Locke snorted and winked at the manager, who immediately smiled and said to Jewell that it had been repaired and would take them up immediately.

"I'll accompany you for dinner, Mr. Locke, and that kid over there."

Locke looked at Ran Zai, who was sleeping on the sofa, suspiciously, and felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"This way, please."

Locke said Gene nodded, lifted the uniform on the sofa, raised a hand, and a touch of pale blue light particles floated over, Ran Zai was slowly dragged up, and then Jean dragged his back collar, and Ran Zai was dragged up like a cargo.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

With bursts of laughter, Ran Zai woke up, and immediately got up and kicked it with a big kick, and Jean deftly dodged away.

"Who is this?"

Locke looked at the two of them playing like children, and felt a little weird.

"The grandson of the wise!"

Locke's eyes tightened, and he nodded a little, he didn't expect to hear this name again, although he had already heard that he was released from prison, received amnesty, and became a member of Section 13.

But at this time, Locke's perennial anger instantly welled up from the bottom of his heart.

"You're really kind to that kind of guy, Mr. Jean."

"Times have changed."

Soon Locke took Jean through a garden in front of the hotel, crossed a small bridge, and opposite was a small wooden octagonal five-story building, at this time many people were busy, with the words "Drunken Wind and Flowers" on it, Locke had informed the cooks to come over early in the morning, and he also explained that it was closed for lunch today.

On the third floor, in a chic and quaint small private room with a screen, Jean and Locke sat down.

"Don't look at my uncle, it's not me who cheated you, it's my grandfather, if you want to hate it, you can hate my grandfather."

As soon as he sat down, Locke felt bad, especially since the guy next to him was the grandson of his enemy, and he felt a little dizzy.

"Blood pressure is up."

Locke stood at the lattice window, looked at the calm lake below, and sighed.

"If we hadn't been miserable by the wise back then, our family would not have fallen to this."

Jean smiled, and Ran Jae sighed.

He was very clear about his grandfather and the Phoebus family, as one of the eight families that founded the city, Phoebus's status in the city was second to none, and their company was engaged in automobile manufacturing.

At that time, the wise man took the lead and helped the Phoebus family buy a lot of small car companies, and the Phoebus family was also researching aerodynamic cars, rather than cars powered by electric energy, although the research was successful, the car still produced a lot of heat, which would make the air temperature rise.

This is also an important reason why Congress has banned automobiles as a means of transportation on the ground, and once the city's ecosystem is destroyed, people will inevitably face the problem of survival.

At the beginning of the subway operation, the low toll fees and convenient and fast travel times made the Phoebus family feel unprecedented pressure, and car sales began to fall like a flood.

But at that time, the wise man persuaded Locke that it was impossible for cars to be banned, and it was at this time that a large number of car companies were eaten, and the entire market was won in one fell swoop, even if there was an anti-monopoly law, those companies that could not operate and would go bankrupt abounded, and at this time the acquisition would not be done to itself, so under the bridging of the wise man, the Phoebus family acquired a large number of car companies at a low price.

In fact, this is just a ploy by the wise man to expand his power, and the wise man has long known that Congress is bound to ban the automobile, so the Phoebus family spent a lot of money to buy all the car companies.

In the end, the car was really banned, a large number of cars became scrap metal, which could only be dismantled into raw materials and sold cheaply, and the Phoebus family avalanche, but the wise man directly looted the huge wealth of the Phoebus family through this method, and used more money to stabilize his position as the criminal emperor, and officially began to argue with Congress.

Overnight, the Phoebus family was left with only their own territory, when Locke was so angry that he vomited blood, and he was sick for a long time before he got up from bed, obviously he was aware of the danger, but under the rhetoric of the wise man again and again, he did such a thing that his head was kicked by a donkey.

Ran Zai naturally knew why his grandfather was able to convince Locke that the car would not be banned, because his grandfather controlled a large number of members of the Operations Section and the councilors, and his power was very huge.

In the end, everyone divided the huge property of the Phoebus family, and the Phoebus family has been in a slump since then, and finally relied on the only little money, or sold a large number of properties, and began to continue to build this resort manor, stabilizing everything in the family, so as not to let the family completely decline.

At that time, the Angus family began to rise again, Locke left everything and went to beg the Angus family, only to finally get another part of the money to build the manor, last night I knew that the secretaries were coming, Locke did not go to the Angus family's dinner, and has been preparing, because Locke felt that this was his chance to make a comeback.

"Your grandfather is really a cold-blooded and cruel guy, he often turns his face and doesn't recognize people, I was really naïve at that time."

Ran Zai sighed and walked over slowly.

"I think it's better for you to take care of your old age, after all, your body is not as good as day by day, the two unsuccessful sons in your family, and the two grandsons and a granddaughter who are completely unable to stretch now, capital is like this, you can't fight the current businessmen."

Locke smiled helplessly.

"Mr. Jean, when exactly will the plan for the Barrier District begin?"

Locke didn't intend to continue talking about anything else, but asked directly.

"Are you going to go back to your old ways?"

"Cars are a must, once that plan is launched, including the construction of abandoned factories, car transportation is necessary, relying on the subway, although it can be done, but short-distance transportation, it is impossible to rely on mutants to carry it every day, and the outside of the barrier area also needs to build some facilities and bases for a short time."

Ran Zai immediately understood what Locke meant, the reason why he desperately made such a big welcome ceremony, wanting to win the favor of the three secretaries, was that he wanted to cooperate with the secretaries, and now he saw that Jean had started the crooked brain of the agricultural base in the barrier area again.

"The times are young, Mr. Locke, if you are still young, you can go to those three girls to have a good talk, they are not fairies who do not enter the oil and salt, they are just mortals, that little girl in our department, you can go to her in person when you have time, then I will talk about it here."

Locke turned around excitedly and bowed to Jean.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Jean!"

Locke's eyes regained their brilliance, this was his chance, and he had to seize it.

"Sure enough, a qualified businessman!"

Ran Zai seems to have understood, now cars are all produced in 10 sections, and they are only useful in security stations and farms, but it seems that Locke's previous car technology has always been preserved, and he has not given up research and lost some core finished products.

"Young people, that's the case in business, it's the nature of a businessman to bite any opportunity, isn't it! If you have time, help me bring a message to your grandfather, and one day I will definitely beat him up so that I can relieve my anger! ”
