Chapter 46: Old Clothes
Bangda reconciliation, the Central Committee of the Qinglongshan ** Army in the Capital Special Administrative Region ~ meeting, with the name of the four states around the mountain peace reconstruction charity party. President Pabul's historic handshake with the leaders of Nanshui gave the people who came to participate in the negotiations from Qinglongshan an unprecedented, even exaggerated, respect in the capital SAR, and a large number of heavyweight guests came to the reception.
The venue for the reception was also heavyweight. In a sense, the Tai family, who had contributed to the federal reconciliation, vacated the Liufengpo Clubhouse next to Charter Square to welcome guests from all over the world. Two years ago, Mr. Pabul, who was just a member of parliament, took a military plane to Qinglongshan, laying the foundation for today's great reconciliation, all of which were secretly exerted by the Tai family, whether it was the current government or the people of Qinglongshan, they must have expressed their sincere gratitude to that lady.
Xu Le and Shi Qinghai stepped out of the black car, looking at the inconspicuous main entrance of the Liufengpo Club and the extremely high night sky, the row of big characters condensed by the beams: "Huanshan Four Prefectures Peace and Reconstruction Charity Gala", and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts at the same time.
Seeing this name, it is difficult for them not to think of the building of the Four Prefectures Peace Foundation in Huanshan, which is full of bullets and blood, and the owner of that building once climbed to a very high position on both sides of Qinglong Mountain and the government, but now it has long been thrown into the dustbin of history and gradually forgotten.
Probably only the two brothers will never forget this Mr. Councillor who died at their hands.
Xu Le naturally has no objection to the Federal Yamato, but he really doesn't have much interest in this kind of drinking party, and it is impossible for him to come to make himself bitter, masochistic, and literary in order to meet the girl with black-rimmed glasses again.
It's just that he received an order from the Ministry of Defense and knew who wanted to see him at the reception, and the military order was like a mountain, so he naturally couldn't refuse. The same is true of Shi Qinghai, who is looking for his own organization, and the intelligence leader has inexplicably put the location of contact in the reception.
Finding his name on the electronic registration, Xu Le took Shi Qinghai into the Liufengpo Club, he had been to this high-end place full of quiet and noble atmosphere, but today until the end, he knew that there was a large building in the back mountain where the Liufengpo Club was located, and the meeting was held in a hall halfway up the mountain.
Finding a dark seat in the hall and sitting down, Shi Qinghai took a bottle of red wine from the waiter's slightly surprised gaze and poured it into his and Xu Le's cups, the two looked at each other, laughed at themselves, and drank it all in one gulp.
Time to the dance party two years ago, the legendary intelligence leader from Qinglong Mountain contacted the prince of the Tai family through Xu Lecai, which contributed to the series of ** in the future. In a sense, Le and Shi Qinghai are the key figures in the federal reconciliation, but at this drinking party, no one will realize this, and no one will even notice their existence.
That's it. Keep the two of them in the bustling hall. Under the crystal chandelier, the dark place feels a little inexplicable.
"Do you still remember the Bi-Moon Festival two years ago?" Shi Qinghai poured two more glasses of red wine. I swallowed it slowly, and the clear aroma of wine echoed through my mouth and nose. Youyou said, "She's definitely coming tonight, will you dance with her again?"
Xu Le squinted his eyes and smiled. Shaking his head and saying, "What's the point of mentioning the land?"
Right now. The door opened heavily. An old man in his sixties. Accompanied by several federal parliamentarians, he walked in. More than seventy tables of guests in the hall stood up en masse. There was a polite and enthusiastic applause. Qualified to enter the Liufeng Slope Club to participate in this charity dinner. In the circles of their respective local classes, they are all extremely top figures. But now they stood up and clapped in a very natural way.
Xu Le withdrew his gaze from the ground under the rostrum. Previously, he had noticed several second-generation figures such as Li Xiuzhu and Lin Douhai. All sit at the same table. It's just that I didn't see Li Xiaotong. It seems that the Seventh Young Master once said that he and Li Xiuzhu never appeared at the same time. It's not a lie.
"Not the leader of the South Water?"
"Kim Ki-beom, chairman of the Central Committee of Cheonyongsan. Shi Qinghai looked at the rippling red wine in the cup, thinking in his heart that he didn't know when the obscene uncle would come to him, and said with a hint of nonsense: "The leader of Nanshui has always liked to maintain a sense of mystery, and even if President Pabur attends this kind of occasion, he will not attend." β
"The most important thing for the upper class of the federal society is to save face, and since a peace agreement has been signed, it is natural to show respect for Qinglong Mountain. Shi Qinghai added, with a faint mockery in his words.
"You're from Qinglong Mountain, but looking at it, you don't seem to have much of a good impression of that Central Committee. Xu Le asked curiously.
"We are an intelligence system, relatively independent, and have been active in S11 for many years...... In the eyes of these people in the Central Committee, we are inherently traitors. Shi Qinghai's eyes
The color became more and more intense, "Let's just say that the guy who asked me to come to the drinking party today, the No. 3 person of the Central Committee, actually didn't have a very comfortable time in the mountains." β
"But you still have to find an organization. Xu Le said with a smile, shook his head and said: "Don't talk about this, I'm not interested in these things, you must know that I am now a real active federal officer." β
Kim Ki-beom and the few federal heavyweights smiled gently, and sat down on the table in front of the rostrum amid everyone's gaze. Just when the guests in the hall thought that the charity reception would officially begin as soon as President Pabur arrived, no one expected that another pair of guests would appear at the gate.
"I originally thought that lady wanted to put the prince in the front desk today. Shi Qinghai looked at the pair of young guests who appeared at the door, a trace of disgust flashed between his eyebrows, and said, "How do you know that it is actually this idiot who came." β
There is always a particular order of appearance at any formal reception, and what qualifications do the young men and women who show up at the entrance of the reception rank behind Kim Ki-beom and several parliamentarians?
"Who is that young man?" Xu Le's eyes narrowed, looking at the man at the door who was slightly bent at the elbow, the man was wearing a military uniform without any markings, his figure was tall, and his face was deliberately calm and reserved, and he couldn't hide his arrogance.
"I said, that's an idiot. Shi Hai noticed that Xu Le's voice had deepened slightly, and said with a faint mocking smile: "Nan Mingxiu, the second son of the leader of Nanshui. β
"This good son of a revolutionary is really arrogant to the extreme in Qinglong Mountain, relying on his good father, he actually dares to appear after Kim Ki-bum and put on this pomp...... Did he think that the capital was the same as the great barren mountain?"
Shi Qinghai knew that Xu Le was at this time, so he spoke unceremoniously, and directly threw out the evaluation given to this person within the ** army.
Most of the guests at the charity meeting did not know what the identity of this young man was, and he dared to appear after Kim Ki-beom and the councillors. There was a discussion in the audience, and the identity of this person gradually spread, and everyone nodded slightly, revealing a look of enlightenment. The guests in the room were more familiar with the young man's female companion, because this beautiful girl in a light blue salute had appeared in the live broadcast of the Capitol Hill hearing, and the whole Federation had listened to her calm and determined voice......
It is no exaggeration to say that this girl has many admirers in the Federation, and people appreciate her calm and firmness, and her calm and beautiful in front of countless parliamentarians, especially when the Federation reopened the MedellΓn project last month, and she returned to S11 Capitol Hill to show her steady and calm side in front of countless media reporters, this appreciation was further strengthened.
Xu Le's eyelashes blinked, looking at the son of the ** leader, looking at his slightly bent arm, looking at the little white hand in his arm, looking at the light blue dress, this little dress seems to be a little old, and it seems that it has not been worn for a long time.
Xu Le felt that this little blue dress was a little familiar, but she remembered in an instant, she also wore this little dress during the Bimoon Festival dance two years ago.
"It seems that life in the guerrillas is really hard. He looked at the girl at the door quietly, and with some sadness and some relief, he found that she was not wearing black-framed glasses today, and said softly: "The female companion of the leader's son can only wear old clothes. β
The clothes are not as good as the new, the people are not as good as the old, but the old clothes are the most comfortable to wear, and the newcomers are not a better choice. Shi Qinghai stared at the red wine in the glass, smiled slightly and said, "Your performance is better than I imagined, and you can still behave so lightly." β
"It's not that hard. β
Xu Le's steady hand picked up the red wine glass, he was not pretending to be anything, whether he could really see through the past or not, but after so many desperate situations of life and death, turbulent waves, these things seemed to be difficult to shake his big heart.
He calmly watched Nan Mingxiu and Zhang Xiaomeng holding hands, walking towards the rostrum in the eyes of all the guests, and watched them sit at the table where Li Xiuzhu was. After practicing for so many years, his mechanic's vision became sharper, and the moment Nan Mingxiu and Zhang Xiaomeng sat down, he clearly saw the undisguised greed and possessiveness in this person's eyes.
In an instant, Xu Le's eyes narrowed, and he took a big sip of red wine.
"The wind is light, the wind is light......" Shi Qinghai looked at him mockingly, laughed, and said, "You didn't say that this is not a difficult thing. β
Xu Le put down his wine glass, squinted at the table, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "But I ...... Still not happy. β
At this moment, accompanied by the voice of the concierge, President Pabur arrived, and the audience stood up, and the reception officially began.
