Chapter Two Hundred
Immediately, Mr. Xiong and Sihu walked into the box and said with a warm smile: "Inspector Will, long time no see. My dear friend, I didn't expect that this incident would even alarm you. What a sin! Oh!
Detective Henry, you are here too! Long time no see, my friend." Mr. Xiong's way of greeting was very Western, very easy-going, and even more sincere.
If you observe carefully, you will find that Mr. Xiong has a very special way of greeting others. He may not necessarily be solemn, but it is definitely the most sincere and touching. Even when he greets Detective Henry, he feels as familiar as an old friend.
.
Many years later, Zhao Fanchen understood one thing. Greetings do not necessarily have to be solemn, but they must be sincere and touching. Just like some things, the biggest difference between doing or not doing them is always that the latter can only have the right partner.
The former’s right to comment.
In many cases, a sincere and touching greeting may save your life, because this was Zhao Fanchen's personal experience many years later.
"Oh! My dear friend, I heard that you are not in good health recently. As your friend, I would like to solemnly remind you that you should take good care of your body as you get older! As a police officer, I have the right to protect
The legitimate rights and interests of taxpayers are to maintain the normal order of the city. Oh, by the way, I also need your people to join me in the police station to assist in the investigation. This young man is very good. I like such capable young people!" Mr. Will
The detective pointed at Zhao Fanchen and smiled.
"Okay! We will actively cooperate with the police investigation. I am a legitimate businessman. You know this. My dear friend, I don't want to be misunderstood today and searched tomorrow. In this case, my business will probably not even pay taxes."
I can't even pay the money, Xiaofan, follow Inspector Will to the police station and explain the whole thing clearly. I will send a car to pick you up later." Mr. Xiong smiled gently and said deeply.
He glanced at Zhao Fanchen, with admiration in his eyes.
The next thing was much easier. Zhao Fanchen was taken to the police station by the police. Since this case was now handled by Detective Will himself, Zhao Fanchen was asked by the police after eating a lunch box in the police station.
After asking some insignificant questions, he was sent out of the police station after drinking two cups of coffee. Zhao Fanchen, who Xiong Ye sent Robin to drive to pick him up, walked out of the police station. Zhao Fanchen smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and he always looked the same wherever he went.
The police can't get away with it.
"Brother Xiao Fan, Master Xiong sent me to pick you up and said that I would have lunch with you. This has never happened before. No matter how outstanding the young man is, Master Xiong never eats at the same table with him.
,Brother Xiao Fan, you are the first one." Robin still looked excited when he sat in the car: "Brother Xiao Fan, you are really amazing. What happened today is exactly as you guessed. What are you doing?
How can you guess so accurately? Mr. Xiong even praised me today and said that I did a good job! The more than ten brothers I found this time were all paid by Mr. Xiong himself, and the brothers were convinced from the bottom of their hearts.
What about you, I will follow you from now on, Brother Xiaofan, you are my big brother, what do you think?"
"Are you so excited? Why are you following me? I'm still the same as you now, be careful when driving your car." Zhao Fanchen patted Robin's head and smiled angrily.
"What? You have made such a great contribution this time. Master Xiong will definitely use you in the future. With your ability, you will definitely be able to stand out in the future. If you have a big future, your brothers will all want to follow you and become famous! Xiao Fan
Brother, we
"Robin said excitedly, and saw Zhao Fanchen's face darken, so he quickly closed his mouth, didn't speak, and said timidly: "Brother Xiaofan, I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?
Really? I didn’t mean it.”
Abin and Shengzi had said these words before. Robin's words just now brought back Zhao Fanchen's past. He silently lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, smiled and said: "It's okay!"
The car made a circle and walked eastward through the busiest Chinatown until it reached the outskirts of the city. There was a forest in front of it and a European-style villa not far away. Robin parked the car at the door of the villa.
This is the place where Mr. Xiong retires. Very few people come to this place, and Mr. Xiong never lets people come to this place. The people who come here are the ones that Mr. Xiong likes. Only the Four Tigers have been here before.
Robin was obviously a little excited. He carefully arranged his clothes and asked Zhao Fanchen to take a look at him. Then he rang the doorbell at the gate. After the doorbell rang for a few minutes, the door of the villa opened, and a middle-aged man appeared.
The young woman trotted out and opened the door.
This woman seemed to be the maid of the villa. She came out, opened the door, nodded to the two of them, smiled kindly and said: "Master Xiong is waiting for you in the house, come in quickly!"
The entire villa is in European style, with a total of three floors. The floor is covered with ridiculously expensive carpets. When the two of them were changing shoes at the door, Mr. Xiong came down from upstairs and greeted with a smile: "No need to change shoes, just go ahead."
come in!"
Robin followed Zhao Fanchen and looked around excitedly. The living room in the villa was very large. The brown leather sofa was covered with mink fur. It was real. There was a fireplace next to the kitchen. This was definitely not a decoration, it was real.
The fireplace and the furnishings in the villa have obviously been changed. They are obviously biased towards the Chinese furnishings of the older generation. There is a row of flowerpots on the windowsill, and there is a coffee table in the middle of the sofa. There is an open book on the coffee table.
of Tao Te Ching.
Opposite the kitchen is an independent dining room. The carpet in the living room is so clean that you can't bear to step on it. It is obviously the first time for Robin to come to this kind of place, and it can be said that it is the second time for Zhao Fanchen to come to this kind of place.
, at least He Xi’s home is not worse than this.
Mr. Xiong was already sitting on the sofa with a smile. The maid who opened the door just now brought juice, drinks, and some fruits. Mr. Xiong smoked a cigar and sat there with a smile: "I usually don't drink these things.
, this is all prepared for you young people. I can’t get used to drinking coffee or anything like that. When I get old, I always miss the past. I like to drink strong tea, especially the bitter tea from our hometown. There is no need to be so restrained here. It stands to reason.
It’s not a disadvantage at all for you to call me Xiongye, Xiaofan, are you still used to living here during this time?”
"Now I'm satisfied as long as I have a place to stay. Mr. Xiong, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for Brother Haizi's death." Zhao Fanchen took a sip of the juice and looked at Mr. Xiong seriously.
"It's all fate. I told you, there are many capable young people who dare to work hard, but in the end there are only a few who survive. Over the years, I have sent away too many young people, many of whom are visionary.
People who are unique and have extraordinary abilities will die on a trivial matter in the end. Luck is a weird thing. What we are doing is not a serious business at all, so death is common. You don’t need to care about it. On the contrary
This time I want to thank you two. You did this beautifully. Xiaofan, you are the young man I like. Do you know why I invited you two to come here for dinner tonight?" Mr. Xiong said gently.
With a smile, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer of the coffee table, handed it to Zhao Fanchen and said with a smile: "This is smoked by an old buddy of mine."
Picking up the cigarette case and taking a look at it, Zhao Fanchen was stunned for a moment. Zhongnanhai, he didn't expect to be able to smoke this kind of cigarette here. This kind of cigarette is rare on the market now. The older generation likes to smoke this kind of cigarette.
Especially in the glorious era of the previous generation, Zhao Fanchen took out one and handed it to Robin. Master Xiong shook his head. Being able to smoke the cigarette handed over by Master Xiong himself was a great luck to Robin.
Zhao Fanchen lit a cigarette for himself and took a puff. After letting the spicy smell of tobacco hit his lungs for a while, his whole body relaxed. He tried to make his expression sincere and said slowly: "We
Everyone who comes to work under you wants to have a chance to stand out and do big things. In fact, you have already given us a chance to do what happened last night without you showing up, Mr. Xiong. As for what happened today, we need to
If you hadn't given me the chance, this matter wouldn't have gone so smoothly, so I'm actually nothing to be proud of for being able to accomplish this. On the contrary, I should be lucky to meet a senior like you, Mr. Xiong, and secondly, I should be grateful.
You can give me this opportunity, as well as my luck. Of course, the most important link in this matter is Robin. Without him, this matter would never have been possible."
"I don't have any merit. I just did what Brother Xiao Fan said. I just ran errands and stuff." Robin sat upright and waved his hands repeatedly.
bang bang
Mr. Xiong clapped his hands with a gentle expression: "Haha, you two, please stop being humble to each other. Robin has been following me for so long, and I still know. Xiaofan, I really saw you right. In fact, this opportunity is entirely yours."
I earned it by myself. Haizi has been with me for so many years. I gave him many opportunities, but he didn't seize them at all, let alone accomplish anything. The reason why I have reused him all these years is not because of anything else.
His father is one of my brothers. In fact, there is no shortage of ambitious, capable, and enterprising young people in this world. What is lacking is young people with the ambition to become a master. Xiaofan, you are ambitious and courageous.
, also has a unique vision. The reason why I invite you here tonight is to tell you one thing. In this world, not everyone can make it to the end. Often, those who can make it to the end are the ones who can make it to the end.
The one who has given the most, okay, you two have been busy all day, you must be hungry, right? Come to us for dinner!"
"Master Xiong, we will definitely follow you and work hard in the future." Robin looked at Zhao Fanchen excitedly, with a look of excitement on his face. This kid has not gotten over his excitement yet!
"Let's eat! Today's table of dishes is specially prepared for you two young people. I will have a lot of things to do for you in the future. How about trying the taste of hometown food! Xiaofan, tell me,
What should we do next?" Mr. Xiong raised his head and looked at Zhao Fanchen who was eating, smiling like an elegant elder.
