Due to changes in the declaration of a resource-depleted city, when Ye Ming accompanied Zhang Yan to the "Cloud Club" the next day, he was not very interested. The enthusiasm and cheerfulness are very different.
While Zhang Yan was driving, she looked at him strangely from time to time. After being dull for more than ten minutes, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked with a smile: "Mr. Ye, why do you look so bitter and resentful today? "Did you go home late yesterday and receive criticism from your leader? Or are you worried that if you go to an underground boxing match today, you'll be punished by the police?"
Ye Ming shook his head and said: "Ms. Zhang, our county's declaration of a resource-depleted city may be in vain. It turns out that we thought that the National Development and Reform Commission had a flexible indicator, so we wanted to ask you to check with your brother and sister-in-law. Can we win over that indicator? However, today we got news that that indicator has been won over by a resource county in the Northeast. Therefore, now we only have one road in Huashan, which is the only indicator that competes with Zinan City in our province. But , you also know that Zinan City is your hometown. They should have been in contact with your brother and sister-in-law a long time ago. If we compete with them again, we are asking for trouble. Therefore, our trip is in vain. ,,well,"
Seeing him sighing, Zhang Yan comforted him and said: "Mr. Ye, don't be discouraged. The key to this matter is not my brother, but my sister-in-law who has the final say. You may not know: in my brother's and sister-in-law's house, I My sister-in-law has absolute authority. My brother is very good at work, but at home, he obeys my sister-in-law and is obedient. My sister-in-law has a very good relationship with me. You should also know this, so you don’t need to Completely despairing, I will wait until my sister-in-law comes back to talk about everything."
Ye Ming felt a little relieved after hearing what she said, and joked: "Ms. Zhang, Zinan City is also your hometown. You are turning your elbows outward. When the time comes, you can convince your sister-in-law, and you won't be afraid of your brother." Blame you,"
Zhang Yan curled her lips and said: "I was born in a military compound and have no impression of Zinan at all. When I was in my twenties, I could count the number of times I returned to Zinan on the fingers of one hand. , Besides, when we arrived in the capital, the so-called hometown is Tianjiang Province. When we recognize fellow villagers, we also recognize everyone in Tianjiang Province as fellow villagers. Therefore, in my eyes, you Xinlang and Zinan are both my hometown. Who knows? I will help anyone who is good to me. Whether I can help you in the end is another matter."
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Zhang. We can't make it too difficult for you. Let's talk about it then."
Half an hour later, the car drove to the foot of Huangdonggang Mountain in the eastern suburbs and drove into the parking lot of a splendid antique building.
Zhang Yan took Ye Ming and walked into the "Cloud Club" under the guidance of a doorman.
At this time, the club was already crowded with people and extremely lively. Many people saw Zhang Yan coming in with a handsome boy. They greeted her with a smile and looked at Ye Ming up and down with somewhat surprised eyes. Several of them were dressed up. The fashionable singer and movie star even pulled Zhang Yan aside and quietly asked her if Ye Ming was her boyfriend.
While Zhang Yan was explaining to them, she glanced at Ye Ming proudly from time to time: Apparently, some of her friends who played well with her were praising Ye Ming, making her feel very proud.
Next, in order to give Ye Ming more experience, Zhang Yan took Ye Ming to the lounge, oyster bar, cigar bar, banquet hall, coffee bar and other halls for several rounds. In the lounge, they tasted the world Top-quality wine; in the cigar bar, Ye Ming smoked a Havana cigar imported from Cuba for the first time in his life.
Then, they sat in the coffee bar for another half an hour, drank a cup of coffee each, and Zhang Yan chatted with a few acquaintances.
At around seven o'clock, Zhang Yan took Ye Ming to the French restaurant and had an authentic French dinner.
At 7:45, Zhang Yan and Ye Ming, each holding a ticket for an underground boxing match, passed through two computer-controlled security doors and came to the third floor door, where they entered the men's and women's rooms respectively. Changing clothes in the locker room.
It turns out that in order to prevent people entering the underground arena from secretly bringing mobile phones or video and recording equipment, male and female guests entering the basement must change into uniform clothes at the third door. These clothes are all in Tang suit style and are divided into The two colors red and blue respectively represent the colors of the camp that the guests bet on. In the locker room, everything on each guest must be left behind, and only one plastic hand card can be taken in.
Zhang Yan's camp is the red team today, so she and Ye Ming are wearing purple-red Tang suits.
The two people changed their clothes, gathered at the third door, entered the final passage, and at the end of the passage, took the elevator to the basement.
At this time, the basement has been divided into two sides, with hundreds of spectators sitting neatly. The one on the left is purple and the one on the right is dark blue. All the people have excited expressions on their faces, and they are all whispering or discussing. It's a small talk.
Zhang Yan took Ye Ming to the left and found two seats in the front row to sit down.
After Ye Ming sat down, he raised his eyes and glanced at the audience. He roughly estimated the number of people on both sides and was surprised: Judging from the densely packed audience on both sides, there were at least six people who came to watch the game and place bets today. More than 100 yuan, based on the average bet of one million yuan per person, and excluding people like myself who follow the bettors to watch the game, the total bets on this boxing match should exceed 500 million yuan, and organizing this The boss of a boxing match can receive 20 to 30 million yuan in management fees alone.
Surprised, he glanced at the middle stage again. This stage was similar to those used in other martial arts and boxing competitions. It was a wooden platform, about 0.8 meters high, square in shape, and about 10 meters long on each side. , the bottom layer of the countertop is covered with soft cushions, and the cushions are covered with canvas. In the center of the countertop, there is a yin and yang fish pattern with a diameter of about one meter. Around the countertop, it is also raised by about 0.3 meters, and is covered with protective mats. Prevent people on the stage from falling to the concrete floor.
At this time, there were already several staff on the stage busy checking the stage, using detectors to detect all over the canvas, for fear that someone might hide a deadly hidden weapon inside, or that an insider would install a hidden weapon on the stage. Camera or recording device.
