Chapter 216 Someone is coming, someone is leaving
morning.
Lawrence and Mike Bai were on the first floor of the Blue Crystal Hotel, smoking and shaking their legs as they waited.
Early eight o'clock.
Elevator direction.
Pine, dressed in a suit and ties, walked out of the elevator with Giles.
Giles was wearing a white shirt and tie, with his suit on his arm. He was talking to Pine about what happened to Lilith and Laura last night with a smile on his face.
When Mike Bai saw the two people coming out, he patted Lawrence, stood up, straightened his coat, walked slowly towards Giles and the two, and said as he walked.
"Mr. Pine, Mr. Giles, morning!"
"I'm.."
Giles waved his hand to him and said with a smile: "I know who you are? What can you... do you want?"
Mike Bai nodded to the two of them with a smile, took a half step back, and made room for Lawrence: "This is Lawrence from the DA Security Company. He has something he wants to talk to you about."
When Pine and Giles were looking at Lawrence, he paused and continued: "We went to find David in the morning, he shouldn't have gotten up yet, but this matter is very urgent, so I can only come. ..here.."
Pine looked at Mike Bai and was amused by the lame excuse he came up with~
Giles chuckled and pointed at Mike Bai: "He almost broke my leg last night~ Why haven't you gotten up yet?"
"This bastard!"
Pine raised his wrist and glanced at his watch: "I have a very important meeting to hold later. Since you have something to talk about, let's go together. We can talk in the car."
Mike Bai and Lawrence nodded in agreement and followed Pine out of the hotel. Mike Bai took the initiative to walk to his car.
Lawrence sat in the passenger seat of the Pine and Giles sedan.
A few minutes later, at a traffic light intersection, Lawrence finished explaining his purpose for today and closed his mouth.
Pine raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but laugh.
Giles had a look of surprise on his face and turned to Pine: "David... actually wants to make peace with the drug lord? What does he think? Pine, do you think this can be done? ?”
Pine smiled and shook his head at Giles and asked Lawrence: "The call you received was made by a DEA agent in Miami. The number was given to him by Cohen. Did he say anything else?" ?”
"For example, will he or the DEA intervene in this matter?"
Lawrence thought for a moment and shook his head: "He said that he was just a low-level agent and could not provide more help to people like Cohen and others who had no official status, so he called me in advance and wanted us to Let’s think of a way to solve this problem~!”
After hearing this, Pine nodded and said to Giles: "David sent Cohen to find peace with the drug lords. This was the right thing to do, but he ignored one thing. David, as the defender, did not make any conditions. advantages."
"If we want to make peace, we can only help David regain some of his advantages and let these drug lords understand who they cannot touch and what they cannot do."
Giles understood what Pine meant. He glanced at Lawrence, nodded slightly and said, "Then what do we need to do?"
Pine smiled and patted Giles on the shoulder, and said to Lawrence: "Wait outside my office for a while, and I will ask you to wake David up with the good news."
Lawrence smiled and nodded: "ok!"
Inside the Stanley Building.
Pine postponed the meeting and found Panaris and Elder first, and the three of them chatted in the office for twenty minutes.
Then he went back to his office, found the phone book, and looked up a few numbers.
He picked up the phone and called Old Morgan first.
Ten minutes later, Pine put down the phone with a smile.
Looking down at the number book, he dialed the second number, to Washington.
After a few minutes.
Pine made a third call, to the U.S. Embassy in Colombia.
Almost 10 minutes later.
He made his fourth call, Washington.
After a few minutes.
Pine put down the phone and glanced at his watch. In more than half an hour, everything had been arranged.
He thought for a moment, rummaged through the phone book again, and picked up the phone.
The fifth phone call was made to New York FBI Director Bog Beru.
Bog Beru was very surprised that Pine would call him.
He chatted politely with Pine on the phone, and Pine got to the point directly.
"Mr. Beru, what do you think of the position of DEA's director of operations in Florida?"
Bog Beru's eyes kept opening wide, and his heartbeat instantly exceeded 110 beats!
"Of course! I have worked in the FBI for 13 years. Before the DEA was established, we were already dealing with drug dealers. If you can..."
"Haha~ Mr. Bellu, since you are so outstanding, I believe that DEA will definitely be hungry for talents, right?"
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Well, good luck to you, Mr. Beru! Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Mr. Pine."
Bog Beru listened to the blind tone coming from the phone. He took a deep breath, put the phone away, took out a cigarette, found a match, lit it, and took a deep breath. Breathed out a cloud of smoke.
Florida?
There is a gold mine there!
I don’t know, what will this Pine ask him to do?
Um. .
No matter what he does, he will definitely decide the position of supervisor! ! !
After Baugh Bellu finished smoking a cigarette, he adjusted his mood, rummaged through the phone book, picked up the phone, and called the Florida FBI director's office.
----
Inside the Stanley Building.
Pine walked out of the office with a note and looked around. Lawrence, who had been waiting, strode towards Pine not far away.
He said in a slightly lower voice: "Sir, I'm here."
"Well, I've already finished contacting you. You can make this call later and tell him everything about Cohen's situation. This person will know what to do and you can ask Cohen to contact him at that time."
Lawrence took the small piece of paper, read it several times, memorized the number, tore it into pieces and held it in his left hand.
Then he smiled and raised his hand and said to Pine: "Okay, thank you! I will take care of them."
Pine watched his actions with a smile and nodded secretly in his heart. Lawrence didn't know where he found David.
His behavior and actions seem to be more reliable than those of Cohen!
"Then Lawrence, don't tell David about this before Cohen comes back. He is timid. Haha~ He might not be able to sleep. Haha~ This matter can be regarded as a small gift from us to him. "
As he spoke, Pine laughed unconsciously.
Lawrence laughed along happily: "Okay, I will find a way to contact Cohen and tell him how to do it."
"Well, we'll see you later Lawrence!"
"Yes, sir! Goodbye!"
Lawrence shook hands with Pine, smiled and turned towards the elevator.
Pine looked at his back, raised his eyebrows and shook his head. He looked around, adjusted his suit, and prepared to go find Giles.
While Lawrence was waiting for the elevator, he remembered what Mike Bai had said to him when he was waiting for Giles and the others at the Blue Crystal Hotel.
He thought for a moment, turned around, looked for Pine, and strode towards him.
"gentlemen!"
"Sir, when I was chatting with Mike Bai downstairs in the hotel just now, he said that David's Wildfire Bar reopened today and invited Miss Lilith to have a drink tonight. He forgot to invite you and Mr. Giles last night. Big Wei wants Mike Bai to come..."
Pine smiled and waved to Lawrence: "OK, I understand! Thank you Lawrence!"
"Okay, I'll go first!"
Pine walked to another elevator with squinted eyes, crossed his arms and thought for a while, then came to Giles' desk.
Yes, you read that right, it’s a desk.
When Giles and Bloomer were interning at Stanley during this period, they had their own desks in the lobby and did not have separate offices.
The two of them once talked to Pine about this matter, and Pine asked them with a smile: "You all know about Stanley's layoff plan. Now the entire investment bank is a carrot and a pit. We must also ensure that every employee stays." The employees are the best employees.”
"So, you're not here to intern or work, but you're here to enjoy it?"
The two silly boys were left speechless by the question. They pursed their lips and lowered their heads, then turned and left. .
--
Pine walked slowly behind Giles and poked his head to see what he was doing.
amount. .
Giles was scratching his head and checking yesterday's work report.
Yesterday, he missed recording a transaction value. When he was about to continue working today, the report didn't add up no matter how he looked at it. . .
Embarrassed or annoyed?
Well, that’s just day-to-day.
Giles sighed and cursed his carelessness. He sorted out all yesterday's reports and prepared to go to his supervisor to admit his mistakes. .
Pine looked at him and patted his shoulder cheerfully: "What are you doing??"
"Pine? Why are you here? Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing. After I solved David's matter just now, I just wanted to come over and see you and then go to the meeting."
"How are you? This is something wrong again~!?"
"Hmm..." Giles shook the document in his hand with some embarrassment.
"I forgot to write down a transaction data yesterday, so... I'm going to get scolded again~!"
"Haha~ That's perfect! How about we go find David for a drink together tonight?"
"His Wildfire Bar has just been renovated and reopened today. He even invited Lilith as a guest last night."
Giles stood up angrily and said, "Why did he invite Lilith instead of me? This bastard who values sex over friends!"
"Let's go there tonight. I want to ask him face to face what's going on in his head!"
"Haha~ Then let's have dinner with Lilith tonight, and then go to the Wildfire Bar together. That's it. You go ahead and get busy while I go to the meeting!"
"OK, all right!"
"Hey~?"
"Invite Lilith to dinner?"
"she.."
As soon as Giles opened his mouth to say something, Pine turned around and disappeared in a flash.
He opened and closed his mouth a few times, scratched his head and looked at the documents in his hand. He lowered his head and gritted his teeth and walked towards the supervisor's office. .
----
Near noon.
Lawrence walked to the street below David's apartment.
He saw Ludy sitting in the car from a distance, putting his feet on the door, smoking a cigarette and chatting with Mike, Ravis and Giovanni.
A man who surprised Lawrence was standing next to the car, next to Mike Bai, dancing and saying something with a few people.
yes. .Barlow? !
Isn't this guy in Jacksonville?
As Lawrence walked towards them, he took the scraps of paper crumpled into a ball in his pocket again.
Ludy saw Lawrence first. He threw away the cigarette in his hand, called Mike Bai, and the two of them greeted Lawrence.
The three of them stood a little distance away from Black Mike and the others. Ludy looked at him and said, "How is it?"
Lawrence glanced at Black Mike and the others, whispered the whole process of how he went to find Pine, and then handed the small ball of paper in his hand to Ludy.
Lu Di frowned and borrowed the paper ball, rubbing it gently with his fingers: "Have you already called?"
"I took a taxi! I got off the bus early and took a taxi from a street phone booth two blocks away."
"Yeah. Who answered the phone?"
"Bogue Beru of the FBI."
"Is it him? What did he say?"
"He said he might go to Florida to be the DEA's operations director in a few days."
Ludy looked at Lawrence in surprise: "He told you directly like this?"
Lawrence shrugged: "I said it was Pine who asked me to make the call, and he said so!"
"Then... okay, you can find a way to contact Cohen later and tell him about this. We may not be able to help with the rest."
"Okay! What Pine means is, don't tell David about this first, wait until Cohen comes back."
"Hmm... Okay, then you go back to New Jersey first and let Mike Bai drive you. If you need anything, call me!!"
"No need to send me off, I've already contacted someone to pick me up."
Lawrence paused, glanced at Mike Bai, and continued: "I told Pine about the opening of Wildfire Bar today, and he said he would come over for a drink with Lilith in the evening."
Mike Bai looked at Lawrence with wide eyes, but he didn't expect this guy to be free to express himself. .
Lu Di looked at Mike Bai with a smile: "Okay, I understand."
Mike Bai turned to look at Barlow and said to Lawrence: "Barlow just came back this morning. The Jacksonville matter has been resolved. He comes back to tell us first. You can go say hello."
Lawrence looked at the people a little further away and waved to them as a greeting.
He said to Ludy: "No, I will go back to find Cohen first. I don't know where this old boy is hiding. After everything is over, I will come and treat everyone to a drink!"
"Haha~Okay!"
Lawrence nodded and signaled to the two of them, turned around and strode forward, passed the corner and disappeared on this street.
Ludy stood there, watching his disappearing figure, pinching a small ball of paper in his hand, and said to Mike: "He... was recruited by Black Mike? Why do I think he is much more reliable than Cohen?"
Mike Bai sighed and praised the passage: "Yes, this Lawrence may be the most powerful person under you."
Lu Di squinted and looked at Mike Bai: "Then...what about you?"
"Me? I am David's most capable person!"
"fxxx!" Lu Di laughed and cursed, gave Mike Bai a slap, and the two of them turned back to the car and continued to brag and chat with a few people.
----
in the apartment.
David was dreaming, and he felt as if he was being caught by an octopus.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Susan holding him and sleeping beside him, and he immediately understood why he had such a strange dream. . .
amount. .
David felt that he didn't sleep well that night. His head hurt, his mouth was dry, and his stomach hurt. He needed to go to the bathroom to resolve it.
He first observed Susan's posture, moved her arms and long legs away from him, took a deep breath, got out of bed and strode out of the bedroom, found water first, and then ran to the bathroom.
Twenty minutes later.
David felt very comfortable and walked out of the bathroom, wiping his wet hair.
Susan walked out of the bedroom sleepily. David smiled and said to her: "What time did you come back? I saw you didn't come back last night, so I went to bed first!"
"What time?" Susan walked into the bathroom in confusion, sat down, and muttered.
"I won't come back until dawn!"
"Ah~? Why did you guys... open for business last night?"
"No! Erica, Martha and I worked until dawn last night to prepare for the opening today."
David found some clothes for himself, put them on slowly, and said to Susan in the bathroom with a strange look.
"Didn't Old Rhett say yesterday that it would be okay to open today?"
"Forget about that bastard old man! He brags to you and then lets us do the work!"
"You also went to see Wild Fire yesterday. Don't you know what's missing in it?"
He did go to see it yesterday, but he didn’t think about it~!
"Um... let's go see if there's anything I can do to help later?"
Susan turned on the shower head, rinsed her hair and said: "I have contacted the wine delivery and beverage delivery people in the morning. They will take care of the bar's inventory. Old Rhett will be waiting for them in the bar. There is nothing we can do to help. .”
"We have already discussed that the Wildfire Bar will officially open at 4 pm today. It just so happens that Erica and Martha can rest throughout the day and go to work again in the evening."
"Then...okay!" David put on his clothes, stood at the bathroom door with a smile on his shoulders, and watched Susan take a shower.
"Do you think we are going to eat first and then go to the bar? Or do you have any plans?"
Susan wiped her eyes with her hands, glanced at David standing at the door, and after thinking about it for a while, she posed in a few provocative poses under the shower head to make the advantages of her body more obvious. Obviously, this move immediately made David's eyes light up.
"My knight~! Should you... train?"
David smiled and nodded, and walked to Susan's side in two strides: "No problem! You can wait in a row further back for meals and stuff!"
"Training is very important!"
Emmm. .
What happened in the bathroom?
Who is it that keeps screaming in agony inside? ?
Um. .
Ten thousand words are omitted here, please make up your mind~!
----
David and Susan went through basic training and advanced training.
Susan was satisfied and shouted that she would catch up on her sleep and go to the Wildfire Bar later.
David chuckled and slapped her on the butt, humming the tune he remembered proudly and walked out of the apartment.
Apartment downstairs.
When David came downstairs, Lawrence had been gone for nearly an hour. .
He saw Lu Di and others there, and scratched his cheek strangely.
"Hey! Guys~! Are you all here? Do you want to go have lunch together?"
Ludy got off the car and said loudly: "fxxx! Do you eat lunch first when you get up every day? It seems that I need to tell Polly that I will assign you a new assistant!"
David quickly waved his hand to Ludy and said: "No! I... live a good life every day. If you ask Polly to arrange an assistant for me, wouldn't I have to go to the company to report every day? !”
Lu Di was so angry that he laughed, and shouted: "You damn bastard! Several companies under our group company have been moving out of small buildings one after another in the past few days, did you know?"
"You are a boss who doesn't even know the status of your own company. Why are you running around and messing around!?"
"Um... has it moved? Which company has moved?"
"Humph~!"
"Except for the Da Group headquarters and trading company, everyone else has moved out of the small building."
"The basement was left to the construction company as a warehouse. Now the second floor of the small building has been converted into several conference rooms. The third floor is a trading company. The fourth floor is given to Andy, Sally and Shirley's studio. The fifth floor is ours. Office space.”
"Then... what about the first floor? What is the first floor left for?"
Ludy kicked David directly and said angrily: "Go to the company and see for yourself! I'm not your assistant!"
"Haha~ don't be angry! Don't you think it's noon? Let's have lunch together, and then we'll go to the company. What do you think?" David winked at Ludy and suggested.
The four bodyguards and Barlow stood aside, their ears pricked up, looking up at the plane in the sky, and looking down at the ants that happened to pass by on the ground. .
Lu Di turned around and glanced at them, then turned and walked in one direction: "Let's go and settle our stomachs first. I still have something to discuss with you!"
"Ok!"
"Ludi, the Marseille restaurant is over here! You're going the wrong way!"
Emmm. .
Ludy turned back and glared at him, turned back, and led everyone towards the Marseille restaurant.
David followed him with a smile, put his arm around the shoulders of Barlow, who had just returned, and asked about Jenny in Jacksonville.
In a Marseille restaurant.
Everyone gathered around David's table, listening to the storyteller Barlow, vividly talking about how the beautiful girl Elena Mesa, whom Pine arranged to help, approached and got Jenny and asked her to come to New York. of.
actually. .Overall, this is interesting.
After Elena Mesa took over this business, she searched for information about magazines that Jenny had photographed, songs that she had performed in public, and other information.
After learning about all the past experiences that Jenny could find over the years and doing enough homework, she met Jenny in a store in Jacksonville as a vacation agent.
After the two got acquainted, Elena deliberately arranged some scenes for them to meet again, with Jenny, what she was doing in New York, filming a TV series.
She used various skills on Jenny in turn, including: God must have arranged for us to meet, how are you doing recently, I know your heart, I have seen your performance, praise, I am very optimistic about your future development, you are now It's the most beautiful time, I am your Bole, you will definitely succeed with my help, draw a big pie, New York is the place where you can realize your dreams, and other tricks.
Although Jenny is no longer a little girl, the dream she has hidden in her heart was reawakened after she met Elena with a combo of moves.
Therefore, she asked Elena a crucial question: "I am pregnant and I want to give birth to this child. Will you continue to help me?"
Of course Elena knew everything about Jenny, she did not answer the question directly and said she would discuss it with the company.
Then she called Forrest Gump and asked for his opinion.
Forrest Gump received the call, what could he say?
He couldn't be happier!
Forrest Gump said directly to Elena on the phone: "You can tell Jenny that it's okay, but don't let her abort the child."
"I will pay for all her expenses in New York. You must help me bring her back!"
"Okay then, you can make arrangements for the follow-up filming of the TV series, and then give me a call."
A-Gump put down the phone, thought for a long time, then picked up the phone and looked around for David.
But where could David be found if he wanted to?
Um. .
After some twists and turns, Polly arranged for Harvey to contact Elena, and the two discussed arrangements for Jenny after arriving in New York.
Elena put down Harvey's phone call, found Jenny and said: "The company is now planning to shoot a TV series. The crew and venue are ready. The script is being polished and revised, and the protagonist has not yet been decided."
"If you want to be in a TV show, there's a role for you: a country music singer who lives in a bar."
Jenny expressed a little uneasily: "But after I filmed on TV, my belly will keep getting bigger... This..."
Elena comforted her and said: "It's okay! This TV series is about filming this kind of real effect. The fact that you are pregnant is very effective when added to the plot of the whole drama. It is very real. The investors and The producers have agreed to your participation."
"Jenny, maybe your joining will not only change your own life, but also change the future of this TV series!"
so~!
Elena's big trick finally dispelled Jenny's worries, and the two planned to fly to New York in the next two days to meet with the producer and director of the show.
When David heard this, he curiously asked Barlow: "So... where is Forrest Gump? What is he doing now?"
"Him? Hahaha~"
"He is looking for an apartment for Jenny and arranging her future life!"
Mike Bai continued happily: "After Barlow came back, I helped find a real estate agent for Forrest Gump."
"I don't know where Forrest Gump heard about the excellent Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York University Medical Center. He is wandering around the hospital looking for an apartment!"
"Haha~ This Forrest Gump!"
David smiled and patted Mike Bai: "Then please help make a call later and ask Harvey and Tangtang to come to our company's small building. I will talk to them about how to arrange Jenny's filming of the TV series."
"Ok!"
"Then let's go to the company first!"
When everyone walked out.
Lavis grabbed Barlow and asked him affectionately: "Do you think that Elena Mesa is really that beautiful?"
Barlow chuckled and lifted up his pants: "Of course it's true, she's so beautiful that she's sitting on a rocket. She's so beautiful!"
"When they come back, you can see for yourself and find out!"
"Everyone...has gone to heaven!?"
"How beautiful is that?!"
Lavis felt that his imagination was not enough. He stood at the door of the Marseille restaurant and looked at the sky in a daze.
Black Mike was behind him and kicked him directly, and said sarcastically with a smile: "Silly x! No matter how beautiful she is, she is not yours!"
"Haha~"
Everyone looked at Lavis who was in a daze and laughed.
Barlow, who had just returned, stood behind David, watching everyone laughing, and felt an inexplicable joy in his heart~!
He scratched his head, smiled on his face, and thought to himself, how good it is to be back!
I wonder how that silly boy Bert is doing now~!
----
Miami.
Cohen put down Lawrence's phone and glanced at Jackal and Rambo: "We're here to live, guys!"
Jackal glanced at the phone curiously: "It's Lawrence? What did he say?"
Cohen took the cigarette from Jackal's hand and put it in his mouth. He smiled deliberately and said, "We have to get ready for a big fight!"
"fxxx! What you said means you didn't say anything! Come on, tell me! Don't beat around the bush!"
"ok, ok!"
"Remember that FBI Borg Beru?"
"Of course!"
"He's coming to Miami to help us~!"
"what?"
