No trace of espionage

Chapter 129 Evenly matched
"No, let you tell me, I just realized that I took the wrong name." Gong Shi was shocked by Lin Chuang's words, and then said: "I have to talk to my father, just say the name you took, Let Lin Chuang make a good joke."

"Okay, okay, okay if I don't say anything in the future?" Lin Chuang was very helpless and regretted talking too much. He was really afraid that it would be bad for Gong Hanzhang to hear the words and arouse his resentment.

"Master, let's talk. I'll buy a chess set for the afternoon." Seeing the two bickering, Min Tuo didn't want to mix it up any more, smiled lightly, stood up and said to Gong Shi.

"Okay, let's go, prepare well, and don't lose face for us Chinese." After Gong Shi finished speaking, he waved his hand to let him go.

"Young Master Gong, please do as well." Lin Chuangji was concerned about Wang Hongjing's affairs and had no time to chat. Min Tuo left, and he also issued an order to expel Gong Shi.

"Okay, let's have a good chat after the Americans are sent away." Although Gong Shi is a playboy, he is still reliable, knowing that Lin Chuang has business to do, so he doesn't bother him anymore, stands up and leaves .

Next, Lin Chuang no longer cared about the negotiations, and he didn't even go to the room of his client Zhu Daoshan, and focused all his energy on Wang Hongjing, who had been promoted to the number one suspect.

At the Central Hotel, Wang Hongjing's actions could not be hidden from Lin Chuang at all.

Strange to say, after he came out of Poirot's room, he followed Tian Yulin, the general manager of Chang'an Iron and Steel Company, to the room of steel tycoon Hunter, a member of the American delegation. Banner, he insisted on asking for a quota of 10 tons of scrap steel from Hunter.

It seems that although Wang Hongjing has become Zong Yuwen's secretary, he is still playing the role of the chief of the business department, and his performance is quite normal, showing no obvious flaws
In the afternoon, Poirot rejected the Chinese side's request to continue the negotiation and insisted not to talk about any topics related to the negotiation. He asked Gong Hanzhang to find someone who could play chess and play a few games with him to pass the time.

Helpless, Gong Hanzhang had no choice but to order Gong Shi and Min Tuo to bring the chess to Poirot's room, and after an emergency meeting with other members of the delegation to study, he decided not to report to the chairman, and then make a final effort to suppress the wave Lotter's asking price.

After the meeting, Lin Chuang accompanied Zhu Daoshan back to Room 302. Zhu Daoshan said to Lin Chuang: "There is nothing to do in the afternoon. I will go back to the department. You can do what you want."

Lin Chuang agreed and exited his room.

Because I had a meeting with Zhu Daoshan, I didn't hear from Poirot for half an hour, and I felt uneasy, so I left the room and came to Zhong Yuhan's room.

"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Poirot is playing chess, don't you want to go and see?" Lin Chuang said.

"You, it must be because you can't let go of your heart and want to stare at it, but instead ask me if I want to see it, you are clever!"

"Mr. Poirot's room is not something I can enter if I want to, so I have come to invite you."

"Okay, I'll take you there." Zhong Yuhan said straightforwardly.

With Zhong Yuhan leading the way, the black guard happily let the two into the room.

"Dear Zhong, come and see, Min is dying!"

Seeing Zhong Yuhan, Poirot waved to him happily, then pointed to the chessboard and said.

Lin Chuang doesn't know chess, but on the chessboard, Min Tuo's pieces are obviously less than Poirot's.

So, he raised his eyes and glanced at Gong Shi who was sitting next to Min Tuo, twitched the corners of his lips in disdain, and said in his heart, "After practicing hard for more than a month, is this level?"

Looking at Min Tuo again, Min Tuo looked very relaxed, not at all depressed.He thought to himself, "Min Tuo won't let Poirot play first, will he?"

"Porlot, don't be complacent. We Chinese have always been in the habit of being courteous to our guests. First let you play a game to make you happy, and then play it again, and we won't let you go." Zhong Yuhan said.

"No, no, playing chess is like fighting a war. How can I say it politely? Min's chess skills are not high, he can't beat me." Polot did not agree with Zhong Yuhan's opinion, shaking his head and said.

"Min Tuo lost this game, and the next game will be played." Zhong Yuhan said.

"Okay. Mr. Min, I hope your chess skills won't disappoint Zhong Gaocan." Poirot said.

"No, and I won't disappoint you, Mr. Poirot." Min Tuo said confidently.

The two tidied up the chessboard and set up the chess pieces to fight again.

Sure enough, Zhong Yuhan was right. Min Tuo really kept his hand just now, but this time, Poirot felt a little struggling, and soon, he was defeated in less than half an hour.

"I was careless. You've won this calculation. Come again." Poirot handed over the chess pieces and conceded defeat, but he was not convinced and rearranged the chess pieces.

The third chess game started, and this time the two of them used all their energy to fight inextricably.

Poirot had a cup of coffee in front of him, and two packets of sugar in a saucer nearby.

Lin Chuang noticed that the candy wrappers in Poirot's room were different from those in the cafe or other rooms.

About two fingers long and one finger wide, this small paper bag is exactly the same size as other places, the only difference is the writing on it and the color of the paper.

The words "Central Hotel" and "302" were printed on the candy wrappers in Poirot's room, and the color of the paper was reddish white, while the candy wrappers in other places had different room numbers printed on them, and the color was also pure white.

Observing this, Lin Chuang was very satisfied with his brother's meticulous work.

Suddenly, Lin Chuang noticed that Min Tuo shook his body, and then supported his head with his hands.

"What's the matter, Mr. Min?" Poirot noticed Min Tuo's strangeness and asked in English.

"Mr. Poirot, I have hypoglycemia, and I tend to get sick after thinking about it for a long time. Can I have some sugar?" Min Tuo replied in English.

"Of course, Mr. Min, please do as you please." Poirot also replied in English.

"Thank you." Min Tuo replied in English, then picked up a bag of candy on the plate, twisted his body back, and ate the candy into his mouth.

"Okay, I'm fine, Mr. Poirot." Min Tuo turned around, smiled at Poirot, and said.

Lin Chuang noticed that Min Tuo quietly held the remaining candy in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chuang felt that something was wrong. As for what was wrong, he couldn't figure it out for a while.

This game of chess has been played for more than an hour, and in the end there was no winner, and it ended in a draw.

"Mr. Min is very good at chess, let's stop here today. Let's play a few more games tomorrow afternoon, okay?" Poirot said.

It can be seen that he is a little tired, but he is indeed a little excited.

All chess players know that it is only fun to play with someone who is at the same level as you.If the opponent's level is too high, it will be uncomfortable to be abused all the time; if the opponent's level is too low, it will be boring to play.

Therefore, Polot had a good time playing chess, so he made an appointment with Min Tuo for tomorrow.

"Happy to accompany you." Min Tuo replied politely.
