The Black Card - Chapter 783

[Chapter 781 A friend comes from afar]

After getting up, Shi Lei rushed to Yangcheng and sorted out the business of the flash mob in Yangcheng. He didn’t rush back to Bao’an until the last train of the high-speed rail.

When we set out in the morning, we returned another five million to Wei Qing. Wei Qing called as usual and chatted with Shi Lei for a few words.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Shi Lei received a call. The phone number showed that it was from Hong Kong Island. Shi Lei knew that this must be the contact person of Eye of Darkness in Hong Kong Island.

But it’s a little strange. Shi Lei made an appointment with the other party on the 5th, and Zhang Xiyue also said that the other party would contact her on the night of the 4th, but it was only the 3rd now, so the call was made in advance.

“Hello, this is Shi Lei.” Shi Lei answered the phone.

The other party’s voice was slightly low and very polite. He said: “Hello, Mr. Shi, I am Ding Yu. My colleague Ms. Zhang Xiyue should have introduced me to you.” “

Yes, but I made an appointment with her. It’s the fifth.”

Ding Yu smiled and said, “Yes, it is indeed the fifth. I’m sorry to bother you so late. I just thought it would be better to confirm with Mr. Shi a little in advance. I don’t know. Mr. Shi, do you mind advancing the meeting time to the 4th?”

Shi Lei thought for a while, he didn’t have anything important to do tomorrow, so he agreed: “Tomorrow is okay, but in the future, I hope your organization will strictly follow our instructions. Come at the appointed time. After all, you don’t know if I’m free right now. If I’m socializing with friends or clients, it wouldn’t be a good idea if your call came in unexpectedly, right?”

Ding Yu’s voice suddenly became reserved. After talking a lot, he seemed a little uneasy: “I’m sorry, Mr. Shi, it’s just that there are some other situations on our side. I’m very sorry if it disturbs you.” “

Okay, I’m just telling you that next time we will follow the agreement. The time is better, I am not receiving clients or friends today.”

“I’m really sorry, so, is it really okay to meet tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

“Well, okay, then, in about ten minutes, we will meet A colleague met with Mr. Shi and made a detailed agreement on the time and place of the meeting tomorrow.”

Shi Lei said straightforwardly: “Okay, let’s do this. You all already know the hotel and room number where I am staying, right? “

Yes, Mr. Shi.”

“Then ask your colleague to come up.” Shi Lei hung up the phone. Since Ding Yu said he would be there in ten minutes, it meant that his colleague had either arrived at the hotel or I might as well stay in this hotel.

Shi Lei walked into the bathroom and put hot water in the bathtub. He was a little tired from running today and wanted to take a bath.

Not long after the water was put in, the doorbell rang. Shi Lei walked behind the door and looked out through the peephole. He was a little surprised. The person outside the door turned out to be an old acquaintance of Shi Lei.

Opening the door, Shi Lei said: “Ferryman? You are not responsible for specific affairs, right? Or have you changed positions again?”

Outside the door was the ferryman who took Wei Puti away from Shi Lei. Shi Lei was really surprised by his appearance.

Judging from the last contact, the ferryman surpassed regional liaisons like Zhang Xiyue in terms of authority and ability.

For example, he was able to control the guests in the VIP waiting room and let them leave the VIP room. Of course, Shi Lei would not think that this was because he had any superpowers, but it was obvious that he had adopted some special means.

Logically speaking, such a business does not require a ferryman to work. This made Shi Lei wonder if the ferryman had made some mistake and was demoted.

The ferryman raised his head, smiled slightly, and said, “Hello, Mr. Shi, we meet again. If it’s convenient, why not let me come in to talk?”

Shi Lei nodded, turned aside, and let the ferryman in.

When the ferryman walked in, Shi Lei noticed that he was actually carrying a bottle of wine in his hand. It seemed that this guy liked drinking. Last time at the airport, he also showed up with wine.

After entering the door, the ferryman was not polite to Shi Lei at all. He walked straight to the small bar, opened the drawer and took out two wine glasses.

“Mr. Shi, do you mind if we have a drink?”

Shi Lei shrugged and said, “Anyway, you didn’t intend to ask for my opinion. I agree or disagree. You have already prepared the wine glass.”

The ferryman laughed and said: “I thought Mr. Shi and I had a relatively pleasant exchange. We can at least be considered friends. It seems that Mr. Shi doesn’t regard me as a friend?” “

We are just a cooperative relationship. As for friends, Let’s forget it.” Shi Lei walked to the sofa and sat down, sitting in the middle without any intention of letting the ferryman sit next to him.

The ferryman didn’t mind either. He pulled up a chair and sat opposite Shi Lei.

Then, he poured a glass of wine for Shi Lei, poured a glass for himself, took a sip, and said, “It’s a good single malt. It’s been more than thirty years. Don’t you try it, Mr. Shi?”

Shi Lei ignored him, and neither did the ferryman. Feeling dissatisfied, he took another sip of wine and said with a smile: “I’m sorry, Mr. Shi. The original appointment with you was to meet you tomorrow night and the day after tomorrow. However, I happened to come to Bao’an one day in advance, so Ding Yu I contacted Mr. Shi in advance. Of course, I can actually be sure that Mr. Shi will not be disturbed by anything else. When Mr. Shi returned to the hotel just now, I was actually in the lobby.”

Shi Lei nodded, thinking that’s it. , no wonder Ding Yu would contact him in advance.

“It’s not important anymore. Let’s just explain the situation of tomorrow’s meeting. In fact, there is no need to meet at all. You just need to agree on the time and place to meet on the phone.” The

ferryman waved his hand and said, “That’s not the case. The reason why Ding Yu did not come in person was because it was inconvenient for him to leave Hong Kong Island and come to Bao’an. This would cause unnecessary trouble between two liaisons in different areas. And I am here for this matter this time. , am I the ferryman? I am responsible for accompanying Mr. Shi to leave Baoan and go to Hong Kong Island…”

“Well, can’t you just say you will ferry me to Hong Kong Island?”

The ferryman waved his hand again and said, “Using the word ferry would be very rude, especially to an important customer like Mr. Shi. We It’s even more important to be comprehensive.”

“To be comprehensive, you just came to my place and started drinking uninvited?”

The ferryman was not embarrassed by Shi Lei’s complaints at all. He still smiled calmly and said, “Mr. Shi seems to be really I don’t want to make friends with us at all. I thought we could actually become very good friends. Friends don’t need so many careful politeness, right? Being thorough is not about these details. I The purpose of this visit is, firstly, to accompany Mr. Shi until he meets Ding Yu, and secondly, with the authorization of our leader, I want to talk to Mr. Shi about the current situation of Wei Puti.”

Shi Lei frowned and asked: ” What’s wrong with Wei Puti? Is there something wrong with her?”

The ferryman smiled, picked up the cup again, and congratulated Shi Lei.

Shi Lei rolled his eyes and pretended to be bored, but he still picked up the wine glass. After all, Wei Puti was also his sister-in-law, and he was in an organization like the Eye of the Night, so he always needed to pay more attention to her.

After taking a sip, the ferryman said: “Let’s confirm the business first. Work must be put first.”
