Lin Miaoyu's expression surprised Chen Mo, especially when she said the word "he" to express doubt.
"Can't Ma Liu?"
Lin Miaoyu took his hand off Chen Mo's shoulder and said, "this man is too insidious."
"The thief is not a great Xia who upholds justice. It's normal to have evil."
"He is hideous. I don't like this man. "
To tell the truth, Chen Mo doesn't like Ma Liu very much, but it must be admitted that Ma Liu is impeccable in both his handling ability and execution ability. What he is given to do will only be better than he expected, and he has never made mistakes. Can such people not?
Moreover, Chen Mogen is now unavailable. He originally wanted Gao Jiamao to do this. In fact, even without Gao Jiaqi's dream prediction, Gao Jiamao is competent for this job. First of all, he is not as capable as Ma Liu. Second, he used to live by performing on the street. Now he has been in prison for several years and has no contacts at all. What's more, there is no momentum of decisiveness. For a simple example, can he shake long hair?
With long Mao's ambition, it will not take long to pull Gao Jiamao off his horse and even die.
In short, not everyone can be competent to be responsible for the intelligence network. Gao Jiamao is not suitable. However, through this event, Chen Mo also urgently feels that there are too few available people around him, or too few people he can trust, so that he can't "doubt people without doubt."
Chen Mo comforted Lin Miaoyu and said, "Ma Liu still has some abilities. Now the intelligence network has just started and needs people like him. After the intelligence network is on the right track, we can consider it again. "
Lin Miaoyu still wants to continue to express his views, but he feels that he can't convince Chen Mo at all, so he has to give up. She said, "you are the one who has the final say. It's useless for me to say more. "
Chen Mo puts his hand around Lin Miaoyu's waist and says with a smile, "aren't you also my man?"
Lin Miaoyu shook off his hand and said, "who am I? I can only be a lover at best."
"Compared with the word lover, I think benefactor is more suitable. If you hadn't helped me out in Vietnam, I would have died in a foreign land."
"You have a conscience."
"Yes, if you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't help the alliance establish an intelligence network."
"I have the right to think you are telling the truth."
"The truth, of course." He stretched out his hand to take Lin Miaoyu's waist and wanted to be warm with her for a while, but Lin Miaoyu cleverly avoided. She said, "it's late today. I'll go back first."
Chen Mo watches Lin Miaoyu walk out of the room without interest, sighs, and then lies on the bed. When Chen Mo is ready to sleep, his cell phone rings.
He sat up from bed, touched his cell phone, looked at it, was sleepy, and then smiled knowingly. It's Xu Jipeng. After looking at the time, it was more than two o'clock in the morning. When I called at this time, I could see how anxious the other party was.
He answered the phone and deliberately said lazily, "who?"
"I, Xu Jipeng."
Chen Mo pretended to be surprised and said, "ah, it's the old leader. Are you abroad? "
Xu Jipeng was stunned on the phone. He didn't understand Chen Mo's meaning and said, "I'm in Beijing."
"I called at this point. I thought you were abroad. Leader, you can tell me anything you want. "
Xu Jipeng felt teased and said in a deep voice, "don't pretend to be confused with me. You are more and more capable now."
"They are all cultivated by old leaders."
"Don't talk nonsense to me. Tell me, where have my people gone? "
"Leader, how can I say that? You made me make mistakes."
Xu Jipeng was stunned again and asked, "make a mistake? Is this not your personal behavior, but the cooperation between the military and the alliance? "
Chen Mo knew that he would ask this question. Personal behavior and doing it on behalf of the military are completely two concepts. He smiled and said, "old leader, don't be difficult for me. I really can't say."
"Chen Mo, although you are from the military now, don't forget where you went out."
"Of course, I won't forget that you are kind to me. If it weren't for the leadership's support, I wouldn't have achieved what I am now. I can do anything else, but only this one... "He paused deliberately and continued," it's a little difficult. "
It's a little difficult, that is, there is room for maneuver. Of course, Xu Jipeng can hear the meaning of his words. Coupled with his understanding of Chen Mo, he immediately began to curse his mother in his heart. This boy wants to put forward conditions. It's really easy to change his nature.
"If you have any difficulties, maybe I can help you."
Chen Mo immediately snickered in his heart and said, "old leader, let's meet. I've missed you for so long."
"OK, then come to Beijing to find me."
Chen Mo hurriedly apologized and said, "leader, please come to Baijiang this time. I have people from the alliance staring at me. If you go to Beijing... You know“
Go to Beijing to find Xu Jipeng, and Xu Jipeng come to Baijiang to find him. Although they both meet, they are two concepts. The former means that Chen Mo asks for each other, and the latter means that the other party asks for himself, and has the initiative to stand high and low.
"Yes. You say the place. "
It was about 2:00 p.m. in the cafe of Lido Hotel. After hanging up Xu Jipeng, Chen Mo calls Changmao again and says he will meet an important guest in the cafe of Lido Hotel tomorrow afternoon and ask him to prepare.
He stayed in the villa for one night. The next morning, he and 19 thieves got together to talk about what had happened on the road in recent years. Ma Liu played jokes and told some strange stories from time to time. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Chen Mo didn't say anything about the establishment of the thief alliance, because this matter can only be communicated in private first. If it is said in person and rejected, there is no room for maneuver.
Communicate in private, and then put forward the suggestions symbolically, pretending to be democratic. Of course, Chen Mo doesn't expect everyone to agree. As long as most people agree, others can only be the minority and obey the majority.
Chen Mo leaves it to Ma Liu to communicate privately. His requirements for Ma Liu are: first, show strong strength; The second is to open the way with money. Ma Liu gave Chen Mo a thumbs up to his strategy and said that the "carrot and stick" diplomatic strategy used by US President Roosevelt was invincible.
After working in the villa in the morning and having lunch with the thieves, he drove back to Baijiang alone. When he arrived at Lido Hotel, Changmao had been waiting for him at the door of the hotel.
At this time, Changmao is already the boss of the underworld in Baijiang city. When he was a little brother, he wore jeans and a flower coat. Now he is the boss, and his clothes have changed. The key is that a long head has been cut into short hair. He looks particularly refined and looks like a young entrepreneur.
Long Mao came up and said, "brother Chen, I've arranged everything. It's still some time before two o'clock. Would you like to go to your room first or go straight? "
Chen Mo went straight to the hotel and said, "I'll go straight." When he got to the elevator, he saw that long hair was still following him. He said, "you can go and do something else."
"OK. I'm downstairs in the lobby. You can greet me if you need anything. "
Chen Mo enters the elevator. When the elevator door is about to close, he suddenly thinks of something. He reaches out to stop the elevator door and says, "what's your real name?" Long Mao is now the black boss on the road. He can't still call him a nickname. He remembers that when he was in Xinjiang prison, a "circle Youzi" among the prisoners seemed to mention his name, but he couldn't remember it for the moment.
"Shi Bida. If you don't remember, you can call me long hair. "
Chen Mo nodded approvingly and said, "Bida, do well. Your future is unlimited."
The cafe is on the second floor of the hotel. Chen Mo has been here several times. The cafe is decorated with a very emotional tone, soothing music, open French windows, elegant and chic sofas
There were no guests in such a large cafe, only a few waiters in uniform were busy. Chen Mo sat on the sofa, ordered a cup of coffee, spread out a Baijiang Metropolis Daily, and waited for Xu Jipeng while watching.
Just as he was absorbed in his eyes, he heard the voice of the waitress: "Sir, I'm sorry, we're not open today."
