Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

"This is a liaison machine specially customized by us for this search mission. Each person has one, and the coding code is the pinyin abbreviation of each of your names. This liaison machine can not only capture signals in no-man's land, but also has its own transmitter and Positioning system. During this time, we need you to carry this contact machine 24 hours a day, so that we can communicate information and communicate with each other at any time."

Li Qiu poked the little dots of light that flickered on it, thinking it was very interesting.

Secretary Liu added: "Although the specific itinerary is still being planned, strictly speaking, the task has already started from the moment you get this contact phone, and orders will be issued at any time. Everyone will take a break this afternoon, we are very happy We will set up a place as a contact point soon, and then go to the restaurant in front of us for dinner at seven o'clock in the evening, when the rest of the team will be there, you'd better get to know each other."

Ah Jiu doesn't like dealing with strangers, and his expression is extremely conflicted.

Secretary Liu saw through his thoughts at a glance, and added a few words specially: "Familiarity with teammates is necessary, because in the next few days of missions, everyone will be disrupted and form a temporary team with teammates who don't know each other. Teams, cooperate to enter the grassland. You and Mr. Li may also separate, so Mr. Ah Jiu, please make preparations in advance."

Ah Jiu said without thinking, "I refuse."

Li Qiu didn't expect such a thing to happen, but he quickly accepted it, and at the same time touched Ah Jiu's palm reassuringly.

But Ah Jiu still didn't let go, "Either I act alone, or I and Li Qiu are together, there is no third possibility."

Secretary Liu didn't argue with him, but looked at Li Qiu familiarly, and Li Qiu nodded embarrassedly at Secretary Liu. "Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, I will definitely persuade him not to delay this itinerary and mission."

"Then it's hard work for Mr. Li, I'll take my leave first."

The door of the room was closed, but until Secretary Liu left for a long time, there was no sound of the two arguing inside.

To be honest, Secretary Liu didn't care how Li Qiu tried to appease Ah Jiu, he was only responsible for conveying orders, and these people would naturally bring him the desired result.

Before dinner, Secretary Liu saw Li Qiu again. Li Qiu was alone, holding two tea mugs, asking the chefs in the back kitchen how to make horse milk tea.You don't need to ask Secretary Liu to know that this horse milk tea must be made for Ah Jiu.

Secretary Liu stood there watching for a while, and when Li Qiu came out, he called for him to take a step to speak.

Li Qiu thought he was here for the afternoon, so he comforted him: "Secretary Liu, don't worry, I've already told Ah Jiu that he promises to obediently participate in the mission."

Secretary Liu nodded: "Mr. Li Qiu is here, I believe Mr. Ah Jiu will be able to listen to it, but I want to talk to you about another matter, something other than this mission."

Li Qiu blinked suspiciously, looking for him alone for things other than missions?

"I understand your confusion, because I made my own claim on this matter, and our boss didn't know about it. I think you probably guessed it, and I want to talk to you... about our boss."

"Oh, you said Boss Ge, it has something to do with Ye Yan, right?"

"That's right, it's also related to Ye Yan. I think that although Mr. Li Qiu has a gentle temper, it doesn't mean he doesn't have any grudges in his heart. This action is very important. I hope that you and Mr. Ajiu can help find people without any distractions. Mission, so there are some things that I feel need to let you know."

"Well, tell me, I'll listen."

Secretary Liu nodded gratefully, but Li Qiu didn't ask or question immediately, which made his opening a lot easier.

"Mr. Li knows that our boss has today's net worth, all thanks to one person starting from scratch and working hard alone. He worked hard all the way from Guangzhou to Beijing, from a small business in the market to today's industry giant. The first few years were the most difficult. About five years ago, the boss was still in Guangzhou, and he earned his first fortune through several years of business accumulation, invested in several properties for himself, and met a lover."

"So Ye Yan is not... I, I thought they were first love."

"How could it be?" Secretary Liu laughed, "The boss is a person in the business field, and there are always men and women around him. Some things are well known even if you don't tell them. But the only one he really regards as a lover is that One. In addition, the boss has a special sexuality, so it is very difficult to meet a person who sleeps a blind eye. After getting to know that person, he completely gave up his mind, and from now on, he only wants to live a stable life at home."

"... Could it be that something happened to their relationship later?"

"That's right, after living with the boss for five months, that person suddenly took away all the money and disappeared. It's probably close to a million. Although the amount is not much, the boss's family was in real estate at the time, and the capital chain was tight. Being betrayed by the closest person again, the blow can be imagined. The boss has been depressed for a whole year, and drank his sorrows every day. At that time, someone in the family happened to die. It was the most gloomy time..."

Li Qiu also sighed sympathetically.

"One year later, the boss started again and struggled again, but his personality became much colder, especially when it came to matters of love and money, and he became particularly sensitive and suspicious. After the boss got rich, more and more people came to the door actively to plot his property. This made the boss' suspicion intensified, and he didn't believe in feelings even more. Later, he met Ye Yan... The boss liked Ye Yan very much, but he still couldn't overcome the obstacles in his heart, and began to test Ye Yan frequently."

"His method of testing is to give up famous cars and mansions, and go to Ye Yan's side to pretend to be poor?"

"Yes... I know that when it comes to Ye Yan's matter, you will think the boss is weird and unreasonable, but I have been with the boss for so many years, and I have watched him go through all kinds of setbacks step by step until today, and his attitude and attitude toward him. He understands and understands what he did. The boss is not targeting Ye Yan, he really can't control himself, if possible, he wants to let go of his suspicion and vigilance more than anyone else, but... alas."

"But I think he values ​​Ye Yan very much, maybe Ye Yan can change him?"

"Really? Mr. Li, do you think so too!" Secretary Liu stood up in surprise, rubbed her hands excitedly, and soon sat down consciously. "That's what I think. The boss has a deep affection for Ye Yan. The two of them are only missing a suitable opportunity. A frank talk can solve all the knots in their hearts. If Mr. Ye Yan is willing to come back this time, I believe the boss can follow suit!"

Li Qiu stretched out his thumb to him: "Well, it's on me, I have an intuition, this time the search will definitely be successful!"

"Thank you, thank you! With Mr. Li's words, I feel relieved!"

At dinner time, Li Qiu brought Ah Jiu to the restaurant as scheduled.

The restaurant of the entire hotel was reserved by Ge Tianyou, and the local special dishes were usually served on the table, such as roasted lamb leg, roasted lamb chops, clear pot shabu-shabu, hand-steaked meat and Mongolian meatloaf. Drinks included milk tea and beer.

Many of these people came back to the grassland for the first time, and they were inevitably novel about the folk customs around them, and they couldn't stop eating the rich grassland delicacies.Li Qiu pulled Ah Jiu to sit down at a remote small table, and couldn't wait to eat the delicious and browned roast lamb in front of him.

Ah Jiu was not in a hurry to eat, but looked carefully at the whole restaurant.

This restaurant is not big, and their team of more than 30 people almost filled the entire restaurant, but Ge Tianyou and Secretary Liu did not show up.Perhaps as Secretary Liu said before, the real purpose of this meal is to let their members get to know each other and get acquainted with each other, so as to facilitate future cooperation.

In the restaurant, the most eye-catching thing is the big round table in the center, because sitting on that table is the only woman in the team—the domineering beauty who hugs the poodle during the day.

No wonder that beauty likes to order others. As the only woman in the men's circle, she was treated like a star when she appeared. .

The men around were enthusiastically courting her, pouring water and picking up vegetables. Probably during this boring and serious journey of finding someone, this woman was the only bright color they could find.

"Ah Jiu, what are you looking at, eat quickly, the lamb chops are super delicious."

Li Qiu urged, without stopping, quickly tore off the softest and most delicious part of the lamb chops, dipped them in cumin and salt, and put them on Ah Jiu's plate.Ah Jiu basically didn't do anything, and was so lazy that he waited for Li Qiu to feed him. Li Qiu was also very patient, picking up vegetables, tearing meat, and delivering water without any mistakes.

The two of them have long been accustomed to serving like master and servant, but it is not the case in the eyes of others.Many people around noticed them and whispered a few words, but fortunately they didn't say much.

While the two were eating, a man came from a distance with a plate, and sat down opposite them without asking any questions.

In order to keep a low profile, Li Qiu and Ah Jiu sat in a remote four-person platform against the wall. You must know that everyone is attracted by the beautiful women, and few people will notice this place.So when this person sat down, Li Qiu and the two raised their heads in unison, looking at each other with a little surprise.

This is a boy who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing standard student glasses and ordinary school uniform, no matter how you look at it, he is a student who is studying.So, why did Ge Tianyou hire a student?

The student didn't pay attention to the gazes of the two of them. As soon as he sat down, he buried his head in eating the mixed cabbage in his bowl. He didn't even look at the other rough barbecue dishes.While eating, he set out a PSP idly and played without delay.

Li Qiu and Ah Jiu looked at each other, the boy's blunt attitude made people feel a little uncomfortable, but everyone didn't know each other, so it's okay to be unfamiliar.And judging by the young man's age, he might not be able to handle hot and capricious beauties, so he would rather hide here and play games than join the center table.

Li Qiu continued to eat with his head down, but because of the appearance of this boy, the atmosphere on the table seemed a little unnatural.Ah Jiu would not take the initiative to strike up a conversation, dragging his chin, patiently waiting for Li Qiu to grill meat for him bit by bit.

After a while, the waiters brought another dish, which was a kind of famous wine produced in the grasslands - Mendaolu.
