At nine o'clock in the evening, Sofia's car parked in front of Yakov's bar.
The business in this place was pretty good. It was the time when people were visiting. As soon as we walked in, a big man from the Tiger Gang recognized my face and came up to me: "Mr. Gu?"
I nodded and asked him using the daily conversation I just learned: "I'm looking for Zhuo Yi, is she there?"
"Mr. Zhuo and a young lady are talking to Mr. Yakov upstairs."
"Okay, then please take me up."
The big man hummed, gave some instructions to the people next to him, and then led the two of us upstairs.
When I was going up the stairs, I asked Sofia jokingly: "How is it? I have a good language talent, right? I've only been learning from you for two days and I can already have a normal conversation with people."
She didn't respond, she just twitched the corners of her mouth and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
This attitude made me very unhappy, so when I walked to the corner, I grabbed her and pushed her to the corner: "Who are you showing your shameful face to? It's okay that no one knows you here. If you are someone from the Holy See,
See, you are deliberately trying to make them doubt our relationship, right?
I'm warning you, you are not allowed to reveal this matter to anyone. Be normal and return to your usual attitude. If anyone gets the slightest clue, I will blame you. Don't even think about your little lover Sergey.
Live well."
This warning is obviously useful.
Sophia let out a long sigh of relief: "I understand."
"Mr. Gu?"
Seeing that we didn't follow, the big man who had already walked upstairs turned back and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"No problem. I delayed her by saying a few words to her. You can continue to lead the way."
The big man nodded and didn't say much. He took us to the rightmost room on the third floor, said hello and went downstairs.
The door to the room was open at that time, and I saw Zhuo Yi sitting on the sofa, arguing with Tong Ruoqing opposite.
But Yakov couldn't get a word in at all. He had become the role of serving tea and water. From time to time, he would light a cigarette for Zhuo Yi and pass a cup of tea to Tong Ruoqing. Occasionally, he would also have some fun in the conversation between the two and giggle.
Two sounds.
I was very curious, wondering what the two of them were arguing about, so I wandered in and said, "You are quite chatty. I heard you two arguing and quarreling from so far away. What are you talking about? Let me also
Listen."
"It's nothing serious, it's just that Xiao Ruoqing insists on letting me showdown with the Holy See now so that I can go to Europe to arrange arrangements in advance, but I want to delay it for a while, after all..."
In the middle of Zhuoyi's words, she quickly shut her mouth when she saw Sophia walking in behind me.
I walked up to her: "Go on, what is it?"
"After all, there are so many shit."
She rolled her eyes at me, and then looked at Sophia behind me with a sinister look: "Isn't this the Holy Lady? You said you didn't go to the holy church, why did you have to go to my dirty bar when you have nothing to do?
"
Sophia smiled more naturally this time: "Mr. Gu said he was coming, of course I want to accompany him."
I'm quite satisfied with her performance: "Yes, she's in a bad mood. I'm thinking of bringing her to your place to drink some wine, dance a little and relax, and talk to you about business by the way, right?"
"She's in a bad mood, can you help her relax?"
Zhuo Yi looked at me with that strange look in his eyes: "Damn it, you nagging me. If you don't know, I'd think you two are in love here."
"Sister Zhuo Yi, I am a guest, why are you always so harsh in your words?"
Tong Ruoqing, who had been sitting on the sofa observing just now, came over and said, "Is this sister a saint from the Orthodox Church? She has such a good figure. I wish I were as fair as you."
She grabbed Sophia's hand enthusiastically: "Come here and sit down. Have you had dinner tonight? How about we go out to eat first?"
Her enthusiasm made Sophia a little confused: "You are..."
"I am Gu Yan's sister."
She smiled with a sugary smile: "We met last night, when I was sitting in the car wearing a mask, remember?"
"I remembered."
Sophia nodded and was pulled by Tong Ruoqing to sit down on the sofa.
After all, she was studying acting. At this time, Tong Ruoqing completely disguised herself as a silly and sweet person, curiously asking questions around Sophia.
After my warning just now, Sophia returned to her usual dignified and elegant attitude, patiently answering Tong Ruoqing's inexplicable questions.
I winked at Zhuo Yi: "What did you just say? Go on, I'm waiting to hear it."
"Why are you in a hurry? Can't we wait for a while?"
Zhuo Yi glared at me again and winked hard at Sophia: "You don't understand what I mean."
I pulled out a cigarette from the cigarette case in front of her: "You see, the problem house is full of people of our own, why are you hiding it? Just say whatever you want and that'll be it."
"From... one of our own?"
Zhuo Yi's eyes were very strange. He put his hand on my forehead and probed: "Damn it, you don't have a fever, do you?"
I pulled her hands away: "Don't move your hands or feet.
Sophia, let me ask you, if I ask Zhuo Yi to give up the billion dollar compensation and bring my men to join your Holy See, how much benefit can you get for him?"
As soon as he said this, even Tong Ruoqing, who had been chattering from beginning to now, fell silent.
Her face was full of doubts, and she tilted her head and asked me: "Well, didn't we agree that we could succeed so quickly?"
Zhuo Yi gritted his teeth: "Gu Yan, are you telling me the truth? This woman seduced you last night, right? Damn it, do you have a bottom line? You don't know your last name when she hooks up with you?"
"Are you talking about you?"
I glared at Zhuo Yi and turned to look at Sophia: "Tell them what you think."
"I have decided to cooperate with Mr. Gu."
Although her eyes were still a little evasive, Sophia did not hesitate and said what I told her: "So I will do my best to help Mr. Zhuo fight for interests in the Holy See. With the strength of you and your men, the position of the cardinal
Absolutely no problem.
If you are willing to join, I can take this opportunity to improve my status in the Holy See. With a higher status, it will be easier to help you in the future. This is a win-win cooperation. I have no reason to refuse. As long as Mr. Zhuo is willing to cooperate,
No matter what you ask for in the future, I will cooperate with you unconditionally. This is the truest thought in my heart."
After she said these words, Zhuo Yi was also confused.
After being stunned for almost half a minute, she turned to look at me mechanically and said in a shocked tone: "This is your mother, if you want to say that you didn't sleep with her last night, then you can beat me to death."
