Chapter 493 I want to learn a foreign language
At the same time, Mo Village, in the Crown Hotel suite.
There is a subtle tension in the tranquility. The warm yellow light falls softly, adding a bit of warmth and comfort to the entire space.
Saori was sitting on the edge of the bed, wrapped in a white bathrobe, and her long hair was draped casually on her shoulders, looking a little messy. Her little hands rubbed the edge of the bathrobe uneasily, as if trying to find some comfort in it.
In the bathroom next door, the sound of the shower gradually stopped, replaced by the sound of water dripping. Immediately afterwards, the bathroom door slowly opened, and Ma Yueling's figure appeared in sight. She was wearing a similarly white bathrobe, and her graceful figure looming under the bathrobe looked even more graceful under the light. She walked gently to the bed and sat next to Shaori.
The atmosphere between the two was a bit delicate. Shazhi's eyes were evasive and she did not dare to look directly into Ma Yueling's eyes. Ma Yueling, on the other hand, seemed relatively calm. She turned her head slightly and asked in a soft tone: "Shazhi, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"
Shazhi bit her lip and hesitated for a moment. , finally spoke: "Sister Ling, I... want to go home." Her voice was trembling, revealing her inner uneasiness.
Ma Yueling patted Shazhi's shoulder gently and comforted: "It's very unsafe outside now. Jin Nana is fine. I know that so many things have happened recently, which has made you nervous. Saori. No matter what happens, I will be by your side." Her voice was extremely gentle, giving people a sense of peace of mind.
“I’m not afraid, Chen Xi is protecting me!” Saori emphasized again that she wanted to go back.
"Okay, it's so late now, why go home? Stop saying these angry words, I have all the movies or TV series you want to watch here." Ma Yueling opened the quilt and sat down Next to Saori, he grabbed her little hand and asked.
"I have nothing to watch." Saori shook her head. She had no intention of watching TV series now.
"I have a new film from Sakura Country, but unfortunately there are no subtitles. Saori, can you translate it for me? I want to learn a foreign language by the way." Ma Yueling smiled and picked up the yarn. I gently played with a strand of hair that I had woven in my hand, and then put it on the tip of my nose, as if I was intoxicated by the light fragrance of the hair. Then he picked up the remote control and skillfully operated it to click on the movie.
When the movie scenes started playing on the screen, Ma Yueling raised the corners of her mouth slightly, consciously reached out her hand, hugged the girl next to her, and started her language class.
Shaori moved her body slightly, but unexpectedly the other party hugged her tighter. Afraid of annoying the other party and causing trouble to Chen Xi, Shazhi could only pouted and let Ma Yueling hold her in her arms.
Two days later, Chen Xi bid farewell to Zhao Lingshan and her daughter and returned to Mo Village.
"I performed well this time." After getting off the plane, Chen Xi went straight to the consulate. In front of him, Shen Lang was processing documents with two dark circles under his eyes.
“Well, that’s right, let’s remember it as a great achievement.”
“That’s it? Is there any substantial reward?”
“What reward do you want? Don't you want to be named the Grand Marshal of the Army, Navy, and Air Force?"
"You are trying to destroy the bridge. Don't come to me next time you have a mission." Chen Xi turned away pretending to be angry.
"I still have a lot of things to deal with. The country will not forget your contribution. This time the Gulu Sect matter has not been resolved yet. Other Chinese have already complained that their business has been suppressed. Other companies have long looked at them. It's not pleasing to the eyes, so they took the opportunity to publicize it and let the local residents boycott their products..." Shen Lang rubbed his temples and yawned regardless of the image.
“Then what should we do now?”
“I can only pray that Turkey and Australia will have bad relations with the superpowers over there, thereby changing their attitude towards us and maintaining trade and multilateral relations with our country. Cooperation..." Shen Lang didn't hide it either.
"How is Wang Mumu? I see that he is very active in front of the media, clamoring that Neon will kill him again if he dares to come out." Chen Xi thought of the news of the past two days, and Wang Mumu kept thinking Get in front of the camera. It is simply unimaginable that he looked like he was in need of a beating and that he had not been assassinated by the followers of the Guru Sect.
After seeing the madness of Gulu’s people in Xicun, Chen Xi felt that those people could really do anything.
"Now he has cooperated with us obediently, otherwise this guy would not be able to return to the country alive. The body has been tested, and the identity of Neon has been basically ruled out. But Neon is hiding now, we There is no other way, I hope Wang Mumu's idea will work." When Shen Lang thought of what Wang Mumu did, he shook his head and laughed.
For such an old man, he behaves like a child. He actually played a hand shadow game out of boredom in the police station.
“I think this method will work. Although it is funny, from a religious point of view, it is a devastating blow to have the faith broken. If Neon hides and does nothing, so many believers around the world will There will definitely be people who quit the religion, and the top leader of the organization disappears for a long time. It will definitely arouse the suspicion of those at the bottom, and the higher-ups will take the opportunity to seize power. The matter of Gao Jian and Kong Jianren exposed this big problem. Nihong is not an idiot. He must be exceptional in establishing such a huge organization. He will understand the dangers." Chen Xi nodded and began to analyze.
Chen Xi tried to call Gulu’s aunt, but no one answered. He guessed that the aunt was probably arrested by the police, and now she couldn't ask anything.
After coming out of the consulate, Chen Xi dialed Shazhi's phone number. After learning that the other party was with Ma Yueling, he went to Crown.
"Ha, why did you come here? Yes, it's not very safe outside now. It's not bad to stay here. Is the little stick awake?" When he came to Crown, Chen Xi put Shazhi into his arms and squeezed her cheek.
"Nana woke up, but was picked up by her brother." Saori lowered her head and replied.
“Oh? Not coming back?”
“That’s not true, she said she would be back in a few days.”
“Shazhi is safe here. I wanted to keep her here for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon." Ma Yueling reached out and touched Shazhi's little face and said softly.
"Thank you, Sister Ling, for taking care of her this time. I have a lot of things to do recently, so I am a little overwhelmed." Chen Xi thanked Ma Yueling. This woman helped him so much without asking for anything in return. It was like meeting a noble person. .
"It's okay, Saori is my sister, and I should do all these things. Okay, let's go get something to eat." After saying that, Ma Yueling touched Saori's hair gently.
Chen Xi nodded and did not refuse.
Following Ma Yueling through the interior of the casino, the gaming tables of all sizes were filled with people.
"Sure enough, no matter what business I do, I can make money faster than Casino." Chen Xi sighed again.
"Giggle, if you have any ideas, I can help you." Ma Yueling chuckled and turned to look at him.
"Help me? Is it possible that you can still let me invest in Casino? How is this possible? Even if I were willing, the boss of Casino would not agree." Chen Xi shook his head and thought This is Ma Yueling's joke.
In his last life, he wanted to enter the gaming industry, but this kind of industry has high threshold and complicated relationships, which is not something he, an ordinary businessman, can do.
"There can be another way, but well, this kind of good thing also needs to be paid at a certain price..." Ma Yueling tapped her chin with her finger and glanced at the side with a vague look. Yarn weaving.
"The price? Casino is not short of money, so you have to obey others' orders?" "Gee, you still owe me three unfinished things, don't think about them now."
“What three things?”
Saori on the side heard the conversation between the two and pricked up her ears vigilantly.
At the dice game table next to him, a slightly bald man in a suit was placing bets. Some of the players next to him shook their heads, some had their eyes shining, and some cheered for him. shout. The croupier's face was expressionless, because they could see this money-spreading boy coming here every day to give away money.
"Dad, if you play like this, you will probably lose everything again in a while. I have never seen you win before. You are just a money-splitting boy."
"Why haven't you won? You know the game. Leopards have odds of 180 times. This is the most exciting way to play. The other odds are too small and I can't even be interested. Besides, your dad is giving me a headache. You're bald and you still want to give away your wealth?" The bald man bet 5,000 on the leopard, then turned his head and pointed at the top of his head towards his son.
After the dealer announced the result, as expected, he missed again.
However, the man was not disappointed, and continued to bet on the leopard. Tao Le, who was standing by, could not help but shook his head when he saw that he could not be persuaded. He turned around and wanted to play Jiajia Le, which he usually loved to play, but saw Chen Xi walking towards him.
"Hey, Chen Xi. Why are you here, kid? I didn't come to play no matter how hard I tried to get you in the past. Are you enlightened now? Let's take a walk. I'll take you to have fun. Thanks to you last time. Otherwise, my underwear will be snatched away by those black people..." Tao Le stopped him.
“Hey, you came to Crown to give money again.” Chen Xi joked.
"Hey, I won the money, and my dad is the one who sent the money." Tao Le pointed at his dad who had finished placing the bet.
The man also turned around at this time and stretched out his hand towards Chen Xi: "Haha, I lost again. Chen Xi, do you want to play with me? I still have some chips left."
Tao Le's father, Tao Yuanming, is from Tongzhou like Allen. Back then, I came to Shanghai with a hundred yuan in a snakeskin bag. After a lot of hard work, I became successful in my career. Now I work hard at Crown every day.
Although he loses every day, Tao Yuanming doesn't care at all. Chen Xi feels that he will never run out of money.
"No uncle, I'm here to have dinner with someone." Chen Xi stepped forward and shook hands with him.
"Oh, I heard that Tao Le said that you are engaged in real estate recently. You are such a good and motivated boy. He is not like my son, who thinks about opening an Internet cafe every day."
"Uncle, I also open an Internet cafe. Well..."
"Oh, haha, if you want to engage in real estate, I can help you Go to China to do it. I have a very good vision. I can calculate the approximate cost just by looking at the project. I think even the professionals praised me when I went to the Magic City alone..." Tao Yuan Ming always talks about his entrepreneurial history every time we meet, but Chen Xi always listens patiently.
This man is still very capable. Chen Xi can learn a lot of useful things from his words every time.
"Do you want to go to dinner? I'm treating you to a treat. Seeing that you have two beauties with you, let's come together." Tao Yuanming said for a while and then extended the invitation.
"Uncle, she is from Crown. Players are eating with the banker. It's not good to be seen..." Chen Xi leaned into his ear and explained.
"Oh...that's it...well, I'll eat it next time I have a chance." After saying hello, Tao Yuanming turned around and continued to place bets.
"I'm leaving first." Chen Xi greeted Tao Le.
"Haha, I've been hit by a leopard. It's me, Chen Xiwang. How about it, son, you said before that I was a boy who scattered wealth, but I am simply possessed by the God of Wealth!"
Waiting for Chen Xili After leaving, Tao Yuanming clapped his hands and laughed, then pulled his son to the gambling table. He bet 10,000 yuan on the leopard, and on the 5,000 yuan leopard, he won 900,000 Australian dollars!
Everyone present exclaimed, and the dealer called the Supervisor to confirm.
This little money is nothing to Tao Yuanming, but the joy of winning the big prize makes him very satisfied.
All he wants is to have fun. In fact, after all, he has lost countless money at Crown in a year, but he doesn't care.
The nine hundred thousand won today will be returned to Crown in the future. As a frequent visitor to Casino, Superviser just smiled and asked people to pay him.
“I didn’t expect that you have never gambled, but you know a lot of people here.” On the way, Ma Yueling raised the corner of her mouth and teased him.
"Haha, we are all old friends. Tuao is only a small place with so many Chinese people. It is easy to find acquaintances wherever you go. People with yellow skin like us are particularly conspicuous in the crowd." Chen Xi smiled laugh.
The three of them sat down in a Chinese restaurant. Ma Yueling ordered a few dishes. When she was halfway through eating, Ma Yueling put down her chopsticks and looked at him with a serious face.
"You have been very busy recently."
"Well, I went to Xicun to deal with some matters. Now the official attitude of Tu and Macao towards the Chinese seems to have changed, and the company has also been hacked. Attacked, I have a headache!" Chen Xi rubbed his temples, looking a little tired.
“Although officials have made preliminary arrangements for the current refugee situation, given the large number of refugees, the transfer work still needs to be carried out step by step. In addition, considering that members of the Guru Cult are still operating outside, the current security The situation is still serious and cannot be ignored." Ma Yueling crossed her hands and put them on her chin.
"Yes, I understand." Chen Xi nodded.
"So you are so busy, and Shaori needs someone to take care of her, and I can't worry about her. You have to go out of town from time to time, and your home may be stolen again at any time. Well, look at this, Shazhi will stay with me for a while these days. After you are done with your work, let her go back. I am lonely and want to find someone to accompany me."
"Chen Xi, I..." on the side. Saori suddenly spoke.
"Shazhi, I want to go to the bathroom, can you come and accompany me? I'm feeling a little unwell today." Ma Yueling interrupted her before she could finish her words, and then deliberately He took out a sanitary napkin from his bag.
"Ah...Okay...Okay..." Saori muttered and could only nod in agreement.
She cast a reluctant glance at Chen Xi, who was sitting opposite, but was still pulled toward the bathroom by Ma Yueling.
Chen Xi looked at the two people leaving, with an inexplicable doubt in his heart.
