After the meal, at Daphne's request, the two of them changed into the checkered woolen pajamas again, one tall and one short, stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, brushed their teeth, rinsed their mouths and washed their faces in unison, and then lay down together in Li Xu's bedroom. On the bed, covered with a blanket, fell asleep holding hands.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the sleep was not only sufficient, but also of good quality, and Daphne got up early as usual.

Kissing Li Xu on the cheek, she got up lightly, and simply washed up in the bathroom. She didn't need to dress up much. She was youthful and invincible with a natural top-notch big beauty base. In the room where she was learning yoga and also the activity room, she did some warm-up exercises, doing and maintaining the few movements that Li Xu had taught her.

Now she doesn't need Li Xu's help, she can make a horse by herself... It sounds amazing, she didn't do much related exercise, just in the process of asking Li Xu to treat her to eat, she casually With the development of the types of postures, this ability is naturally mastered...

Well, the talent is really very, very good.

After [-] minutes of yoga, she also broke out in a sweat—although she is not a professional athlete or fitness instructor, but as a sports star in various sports in high school, she can still feel the benefits of these things taught by Li Xu.

Just a few static stretching exercises can make her sweat all over, which is amazing enough. Recently, she has also obviously felt that her endurance and physical strength have improved significantly. Apart from yoga, she has not done anything recently. Doing any kind of fitness or sports, so the improvement of the data in this area can only be the result of that set of yoga moves - it can't be because of the billions of billions of big business negotiated with Li Xu?

After doing yoga, Daphne wiped off her sweat, put on a coat and ran to the top floor to feed the birds on the other side, and then went down to her room to take a bath, because she was afraid of disturbing Li Xu.

After wiping her body quickly, she dried her hair with a hair dryer, and it was enough for it to be half dry. She couldn't wait to come to the dining room.

During this period of time, she has seen a lot of Li Xu's cooking techniques and processes, and asked some corresponding questions. Today, she wants to give him a hearty breakfast.

Of course, it was too difficult for her to be sure, so she planned to start with the simple ones, cooking porridge and simple pickles.

Daphne had never seen a rice cooker before. She seldom went to the kitchen before, and she couldn’t tell whether this kind of electric appliance without a trademark was available on the market. Anyway, she had already asked Li Xu about cooking porridge. How many meters and how much water, press that switch.

Following Li Xu's example, she washed the rice, added mineral water and rice to the rice cooker strictly according to the ratio Li Xu told her, closed the lid, turned the air pressure lock, and started the porridge cooking mode. It is very convenient to plant an electric rice cooker with an electronic control panel, Daphne thought to herself after finishing this.

After that, she scooped up two pickled cucumbers. She didn't know Li Xu's fancy knife skills. She used a long, western-style triangular kitchen knife to cut the cucumbers into small pieces one at a time...the size and thickness were uneven, but there was no way. She did her best.

Both Americans and Britons are very fond of pickled cucumbers. It may be easy to make pickles. Pickled cucumbers can be found in almost most foods, such as hamburgers, pizza or some stews.

After thinking about it, she was in the cupboard again, and took out a jar filled with bright red spicy pickled mushrooms... Because she was relatively unfamiliar with doing these things, the order was chaotic, and she often forgot about the processing steps, such as taking out the spicy pickled mushrooms Finally, she remembered to taste the pickled cucumber. If it was too salty, she had to blanch it in water to remove the saltiness, so that it could be mixed with the spicy pickled mushrooms.

After frantically handling the vegetables, cleaning the chopping board and the stove, Daphne looked at the white rice porridge and bright red, green and white cabbage on the table, nodded in satisfaction, and went to call Li Xu to get up and eat.

Happy New Year, everyone, Happy New Year to all of you.

 

Section 315 0313

Old Carl was sitting in the car, and he didn't say anything to the driver until he saw Daphne jumping out of the building, boarding the yellow car and disappearing at the corner of the street:

"Just wait here for me"

"Yes, sir"

He was still dressed in a neat suit, and after getting off the car, he wore a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose in a very fashionable way. His snow-white hair shone with oil, and he held a gentleman stick in his hand. Although his face was full of deep wrinkles, he looked like that Wang Deshun, who was walking on the runway, looked like Mr. Wang Deshun, with a chic stroke.

Coming to the side door where Daphne entered and exited, Old Carl: "..." took out the ID card in his wallet, and tried to swipe it on the card reader.

The card was given to him by Li Xu decades ago, but with the popularization of electronic equipment, he gradually understood what he had, but the world's first electronic computer was born in 1956 (the difference between the world and the world, A parallel time and space is February 1946, 2).

Li Xu gave him such a card as early as the [-]s, as well as some related equipment, such as safes. Even if there is no concept of chips twenty years later, computers still use diodes, and hard drives are similar to tape recorders. .

"Shit..."

He muttered softly, because the card reader read his card with a "beep". He always thought that this thing was more inclined to "magic".

Entering inside, he went all the way to the reading room on the third floor, and was in the mood to carefully observe the decoration here.

After the two met, they hugged and sat down respectively.

"Tea? Coffee? Wine?"

"tea bar"

"Why have you waited all this time and come up now?" Li Xu got up and brought him a glass, and poured him a full cup of tea from his own glass teapot.

"Stagger with your little girlfriend to avoid embarrassment"

Li Xu smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.

Because he worked for Li Xu, the old Carl had a deep understanding of the culture and customs of some mysterious countries, and he even spoke Chinese with a Ningbo accent. His Chinese teacher back then was from Ningbo.

It is a common practice for Li Xu to treat guests with tea, and it is the kind of way to treat him as one of his own. The mysterious country is so big that not all etiquette is the same.

Old Carl was also polite, picked up the glass and drank a cup first, Li Xu didn't refill his cup, but just pushed the teapot in front of him, motioning him to take care of himself.

Smacking his lips, Old Carl asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Oh, wait a minute," Li Xu got up, searched on the bookshelf, and took out a bunch of handwritten and bound materials.

Old Carl took it over, took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, put them on, and looked at each page carefully.

"Rice cooker, fully automatic rice cooker?"

After watching for a while, he raised his head and looked at Li Xu suspiciously, "If I understand correctly, this is a household appliance."

"Yes, an electric cooker specially used for cooking rice"

"This idea..." Old Karl originally wanted to question, but he immediately remembered who the person in front of him was. Although he never knew Li Xu's specific background, and he hadn't seen each other for more than forty years, what Li Xu said stuff, never missed.

"Okay, I see, what do you want me to do"

"I recently read the company's information and found that all the manufacturing departments have been closed as early as twenty years ago, and now Lee's has completely become an investment and financial group"

Old Carl shrugged, "What you said, the traditional manufacturing industry is bound to decline, and when the war on the Korean peninsula began, these industries were first transferred to Japan and then to South Korea. Now that we have known this development trend, we must plan ahead "

"So the company controls the manufacturing industry behind Japan and South Korea?" Li Xu asked.

"In recent years, part of it has been transferred to the mysterious country, and you said it too, boss." Old Carl spread his hands, or is he an organ player?

Li Xu raised his eyebrows, and asked again: "Why is the research department also cut down?"

"Unlike you, we can accurately grasp the direction of the times. In the process of gradually closing down the production department, the research department will either be transferred to Japan and South Korea, or will be completely closed. However, we finally remember your entrustment. We have invested in many laboratories later. , this part is now a stable source of income for the group.”

Li Xu nodded, thought for a while and said: "Then this thing is the property of the group, you can ask someone to register the relevant patents later, I have checked that the parts that can be registered for patents are specially marked, and then go to the mysterious The country finds one or several factories and authorizes them to produce”

Old Carl put the materials together, put them on his lap and got stuck, and asked, "Is there a lot of profit potential for this thing?"

"I can only say that it is average. It should sell well in the Asian market. The sales in the European and American markets may not be very good. However, this product is a series of industrial chains. In addition to rice cookers, it can also be combined with air conditioners and refrigerators. , even automobiles, can put on the skin of an 'intelligent pioneer' for the Lee-style group"

"Home appliances and cars?" Old Carl nodded thoughtfully.

"I don't care how far I can do it, this thing should be the room fee I paid"

……

While Li Xu and Carl were discussing the matter, on the other side, Li Sida swaggered into an office.

Li Si is a former CIA agent who has received professional training in disguise and infiltration, and also understands the internal operation rules of this kind of agency, while the house manager Finch is always able to produce all kinds of false documents.

Once the two are combined, he will be allowed to enter this office directly through the main entrance legally.

Agent Alia's department, on the surface, is an overseas training institution. As soon as Li Si got out of the elevator, he saw the people inside walking around in a busy mess through the glass door.

Take a closer look, these people are clearing hard disk data, destroying paper documents, looking like they are running softly, and the first sentence they hear when they open the glass door is:

"I want all the papers, all the traces, nothing left"

And it was Agent Alia who said this.

"Hey, who are you, how did you get in..."

A black fat guy suddenly walked towards Li Si with his waist pressed. Li Si just took out a badge from his neck and shook it at him, then nodded Alia who was not far away with his chin: "I want to talk to that lady , in private, please go and tell her."

"Oh, boy..."

Originally cleaning up the company early in the morning, hei fat brother felt that something was wrong, but now he saw Li Si, who was wearing the badge of the federal dick insertion agency and looked like an agent, hei fat brother grunted, stopped approaching him, and left his hands away from his waist. With his gun inserted, he turned and walked to Agent Alia, and whispered to his boss.

Alia raised her gaze, and met Li Si in mid-air, and the latter nodded to her.

In addition, she tilted her head to signal her to come out to speak, and the two of them came down from the facility one after the other and went outside.

"I'm here enough for us to talk, who are you and what do you want from me?"

In the green belt outside the facility, Alia stopped Li Si.

"John Steele, Federal Penetration Agent, hello, Ms. Alia... yes, I know you, including that you're a DOD agent and you're in charge of this thing here, so let's Skip the nonsense and get straight to the point. I want to know if you hired a middleman to carry out an attack on the biomedical research institute in XXX district, and if you used some of our industry means to attack Ms. Frankie Did you use some tricks?"

Alia is a woman with a profound face. To put it simply, she looks a bit too serious. When she has a sullen face, she can scare children to tears. Hearing this, she stared at Li Si with a gloomy expression.

"Look, I just asked you if you hired a middleman, and I didn't ask you about the weaponization of something extracted from snakes, since you are now..." Li Si looked at the building where Aria Company is located Floor, gestured for a moment, then turned to look at her: "... Judging from what you did, I don't think the actors you ordered killed the staff in the institute, and talked with the manager and owner of the institute , a fierce battle broke out with an elite agent from another department of yours, and if you did it, there was no need to deposit $200 million into Frankie's account before sending someone to let her find out that she was being followed and monitor"

Li Si used psychological tactics. He had talked with Frankie before. In addition to the fact that Alia found her and wanted to weaponize the snake venom, he also included some previous situations. From these methods, he judged that Alia Alia's purpose is only weaponized snake venom neurotoxin, and she is willing to send 200 million US dollars into Frankie's account, which also shows that Alia is a well-behaved agent in some respects, otherwise she could have directly taken Frankie away , locked in a small black room and forced her to make weaponized snake venom, which can be disposed of directly afterward, saving a lot of money.

But as I said before, the internal division of labor among federal agencies is not the same. The DOD department served by Alia's agent is not a place for swearing, which is different from the central office where he worked before.This is the advantage of knowing the internal operating laws of an organization. You can intimidate and lure it without touching its defense points or bottom line, and achieve the results you want.

"I haven't notified the New York police, the Phoenix Foundation, or even my superiors. My purpose is to pull Frankie out of the situation of being hunted down..."

"Wait, you mean, Frankie was killed, including her two colleagues? What about the snake venom? Has it been weaponized?" Alia also showed a look of shock.

Li Si frowned, and immediately realized that the matter was not simple, and asked, "You don't know the news? Then why are you running? I mean, what are you doing in the company?"

"Of course it is to clear and cover up the traces, because I found that someone is watching me. Of course, the fewer people who know about the dangerous biochemical weapon of the golden lancehead, the better. Now it's my turn to ask questions. You found me because someone attacked me. Frankie's institute?"

"Yes"

"What about her, has the person who attacked her succeeded, and has the snake venom been weaponized?"

"She is fine, she has been protected by me. When I intervened, it happened to be when those people attacked the Frankie Institute, so I rescued her on the spot. Those people had no chance to force her to use the snake venom weapon. change"

"That's good." Alia breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Do you know who did it?"

"From the point of view of the way of fighting, it is a former professional soldier. It should be the kind of private security company that uses the professional skills learned in the army to take over any job after retiring from the army."

Alia blinked her left eyelid when she heard the words, and asked, "Why did you come to me?"

"Isn't it obvious? After you talked to Frankie and she turned you down, and then one day, she suddenly found out that there was an extra two million dollars in her account, which was exactly the same amount of compensation as you had previously proposed. At the same time, she also found that several vans with different license plates but the same style were often parked outside her home and research institute, making it easy for her to find out that she was being watched. Isn’t this a way to force her to submit?”

Li Si showed a smirk, "Speaking of which, although you force Frankie to do things she doesn't like, you are still a good person on the whole, which is very different from my last job."

Alia watched him remain silent, seeming to be assessing the situation in her mind.

"It should be confirmed by now that the people you hired discovered the value of the weaponized snake venom. Are you still planning to disclose their information to me?" Li Si asked.

"XXX XXX (person's name), xxxxxxxx (telephone number)"
