Chapter 406 Surprise
The atmosphere of the conversation suddenly became tense.
Faced with Rudolph's strong refusal, Ai Qing was not angry. Instead, she crossed her fingers and placed them on the table, "Can you give me a reason? Mr. Rudolph. You didn't even listen to what I said.
It's just a small action. I just want to check the list of passengers on the Star. It's not difficult for you, right? "
"This is private property of the Fred family, ma'am."
Rudolph frowned and responded unhappily: "On the Stars, the Astronomical Society has no law enforcement power. We will not let our guests be disturbed because of unwarranted problems."
Ai Qing was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "What if I insist?"
"Then I will persist."
Rudolf said indifferently: "It's my duty, please forgive me."
Maybe the Tiger Skin from the Astronomical Society would work in other places, but it wouldn't work in the Stars.
This Starship itself is inextricably linked to astronomy. If there is no high-level relationship, how can you get the legacy of the Utopia and install the auxiliary engine of Osiris on your own car?
Although it is operated by the Ancient Group, its true ownership is the Fred family, a pure-blood lord who dominates the Aegean Sea region in the Roman pedigree.
If the world of the Ascended had a social structure, then these families who had participated in the Astronomical Society since its inception would undoubtedly be at the top.
They are known as 'pure-blooded ones' and inherit the holy names of their ancestors. This continues to this day. Even in their embryos, every member of the orthodox direct line inherits the sublimated blood from their ancestors and the source essence of part of the high-ranking stigmata. .
A family has a complete path to sublimation that is absolutely consistent with its own bloodline. In addition to its vast wealth and influence, it even has large borders as its own private territory.
The head of the Fred family, this generation's "Howler" is not only a noble member of the Roman Senate, but also a fifth-level ascendant at the top of the Sea Emperor's Road, known as the 'Ten Thousand Ren Sea Abyss' .
Only under the operation of him and several other pure-blood families can we win investment from the Eternal Group and turn the Stars into an annual event on the Endless Sea.
It is precisely because of this freedom that even the Astronomical Society will not interfere that this place is so prosperous and has become an almost semi-open black market.
I don't know how many shady people are operating here now. If the agents of the Astronomical Society are allowed to arrest and search at will, let alone whether it can continue next year, he himself will not know how to go back and explain to his master.
In his opinion, this was just another attempt by the Border Administration to intervene in the affairs of the Star.
No matter what, the Astronomical Society will not be given any room to intervene.
"Really? That's such a shame."
Ai Qing sighed, but didn't say anything else. She just stood up and said, "Then I can only hope that nothing bad happens."
In the silence, Rudolf slowly raised his eyes, suppressing his anger:
"Little girl, are you threatening me?"
"No, it's just a friendly reminder."
Ai Qing replied calmly.
Across the desk, she stretched out her hand, waiting for Rudolph's response.
But Rudolf still sat on the table indifferently, turning a deaf ear to Ai Qing's raised hand, and shook his head coldly: "You can go."
Ai Qing didn't leave, she just kept her original posture.
Wait quietly.
Even though Rudolph's eyes gradually became mocking, he still didn't take it back.
"You know, Mr. Rudolf, you have made several mistakes." Ai Qing sighed softly, "But one of them still has time to save, just like now."
She stared down at the old man's eyes and told him word for word: "As a commissioner of the Central Decision-making Room of the Administrative Bureau, I represent the Astronomical Society, come here, follow your etiquette, and talk to you.
Then I deserve to be treated with grace and your respect - you can be stingy with your tea, you can also humiliate me, but you can't refuse the Astronomical Society's handshake, no one can. "
Rudolph's expression froze for a moment, but he was still cold: "What if I say no?"
"You can't say 'no' because you're not qualified."
Ai Qing looked at him with pity, "If you were here today and waited until I took this hand back, then you, no, it should be said that the Fred family you represent would no longer be friends of the Astronomical Society. .”
In the dead silence, Fred's expression changed.
Even though he was reluctant at all costs, he still stood up slowly under Ai Qing's mocking gaze, raised his hand humiliatingly, and held her hand, holding it back at the touch of a finger.
"You can go." He said with a livid face.
Ai Qing shrugged, turned around, and pushed the door open.
In the corridor outside the door, a man wearing a horse head mask was leaning against the wall, holding a cigarette in his hand and flicking the ashes on the precious carpet at his feet.
In the vigilant sight of several guards, wisps of green smoke curled up from the mouth and nose of the silicone horse head, sometimes forming an F shape, sometimes forming a U shape, sometimes forming a C shape...
Seeing Ai Qing come out, the last letter disappeared in the air.
He turned around and asked curiously: "How was the conversation, Commander?"
"Don't ask questions knowingly."
Ai Qing reached out, took the bag in his hand, took out a bottle of spray from it, sprayed it on her hand carefully, and then wiped it twice with alcohol wipes in disgust.
"Let's go." She said, "He's just a fool who relies on his old age. He's not infected and doesn't need you to clean it up."
"That's a good feeling."
Tony shook his head: "After all, these guys are watching me, I'm quite stressed... Goodbye, everyone."
After saying goodbye politely, he threw the cigarette butt onto the carpet and left behind Ai Qing.
It wasn't until he walked out of the door that Tony asked casually: "Did you do it on purpose?"
"Huh?" Ai Qing seemed not to know what he was talking about.
"You made him angry on purpose, right?"
Tony said: "I didn't have a head-on confrontation with the Fred family and fulfilled my duties. No matter what happened in the end, all the blame will be placed on the old guy."
Not only did you complete your task, but you also gave the border agency a reason to intervene, and everyone will be grateful to you. "
"You know what, Tony."
In front, Ai Qing's steps suddenly stopped, "Among all the evil virtues, the most intolerable is stupidity, second only to being smart."
"There are always people who think they are a big shot because they have some great backer, but in fact they have no idea of the real power. Their ignorance makes people want to laugh.
Even though I have reminded him that I am a commissioner in the decision-making room of the command bureau, he is still trying to defend his meager power and dignity, like a hen guarding his eggs - until now, he has not even tried to defend my power and dignity. He didn’t even know his purpose, let alone what he was rejecting. "
She looked back at Tony and asked, "Do you think such a person still needs to be saved?"
Tony shook his head and just shrugged.
no answer.
I always feel that if I nod my head in front of this black-hearted woman, she will definitely give herself this arduous and glorious task...
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Ai Qing, who was walking in front, said without looking back: "Because there are more difficult tasks waiting for you. After all, I prefer smart people to idiots."
Tony's horse face suddenly froze.
I feel the annoyance and sadness from my heart.
Why bother to expose her when you have nothing to do? Haven't you learned enough lessons? With such a boss in front of him, he felt that he had to start thinking about where to open a hair salon after he retired from the army.
I heard that the hair transplant industry in Shambhala is very developed... It seems that I can consider it?
In the commander's room.
Since Ai Qing left, Rudolf has fallen into a strange uneasiness, and there is a faint panic among his anger.
It's like something went wrong.
After rejecting the next few meetings, he thought for a long time and finally wrote a detailed report on the arrival of the Astronomical Society Commissioner.
Then I paced back and forth in the office, waiting anxiously. It was not until evening that he received a response from the top.
As soon as the email was opened, his heart completely sank to the bottom and became cold.
The formal content of the email is only two words.
That was an angry reply from the head of the family.
Be short and direct.
--waste!
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Huaishi finally heard the first good thing in days.
His piano finally arrived.
It was passed through the special channel of the Hell Music Association and sent into Huai Shi's room by the old man who presided over the concert hall. Another news came by the way.
"In a few hours, the local association may make a temporary transfer." The old man said, "Excuse me for asking, do you have any plans to go to Kyoto?"
"Um?"
Hearing that the Hell Music Association was preparing to close their stalls, Huai Shi quickly reacted - these large organizations might have heard some rumors and were planning to evade them.
"No, that's not necessary."
He shook his head and refused: "After all, I am still a member of the Astronomical Society."
"Then, I wish you success."
After the old man smiled mysteriously, he respectfully exited the room and closed the door for him.
In the silence, only Huai Shi and the piano case in front of him were left.
Just like the swordsman in martial arts novels can feel the sword energy, Huai Shi can feel the faint resonance from it while sitting in front of the piano case.
What’s more important – then it’s time for fun unboxing!
Huaishi rubbed his hands, took a deep breath full of anticipation and opened the buckle.
Be prepared for surprises.
I didn't see any destructive golden light, not even Qin.
I only saw another, smaller piano case.
"Absolutely amazing!" Huaishi was stunned: "You're playing with matryoshka dolls, right?"
Reach out and open the box inside the box.
And then there’s still a box.
Sophora japonica blooms again.
This time the piano case is almost the same as a violin, but there is still a box inside.
It’s really a matryoshka doll!
He suddenly became furious and ripped open the last lock.
Saw the box inside.
The box is still a box when opened.
When he finally opened the palm-sized box, he saw the note on the black velvet inside.
[I hope you can receive this surprise prepared for you. 】
surprise?
What a surprise!
He was shocked, but Huai Shi didn't see where Xi was.
In the box, apart from this piece of paper, there was only a heavy bracelet.
Two updates have been completed, it’s almost the end of the month, please vote for me!
