In the evening, Xiao Ran attended the welcome reception. Wearing a mask and a suit, he attracted a lot of people's attention when he appeared at the reception. There were also many women who kept ogling Xiao Ran. , looking at so many young and energetic women, Xiao Ran also thought of Shirley, whom he had not contacted for a few days, and was too busy, so he forgot about it. ⊥,
At the reception, Xiao Ran was the well-deserved protagonist. Countless people held him in the middle like a star holding the moon. Xiao Ran was also friendly and kept chatting with these people, and he got to know a lot of them. In addition to military officers and government personnel, there were also some suppliers and military collaborators who came to congratulate and sent many congratulatory gifts. Although Xiao Ran looked down upon them, he still accepted them all.
But it's just some gifts, just accept them, and no one will cause trouble to Xiao Ran because of this trivial matter. At this cocktail party, Xiao Ran also discovered a person, a person who even if he didn't come to Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran would still go to him, Laguna Harvey.
When he saw this person who came to say hello and said something to him and then stepped aside, Xiao Ran also kept it in his heart. Looking at Laguna's figure, Xiao Ran was quite happy in his heart: "This is the person. In order to prevent you from causing me some trouble, I will accept the Holy Trinity, the red solar furnace and those gn-, yes, yes, yes, as well as your factories and equipment for manufacturing these things, I will also accept them with a smile."
Xiao Ran nodded politely to the people around him, apologized sheepishly, and then left. When he came to the reception, he found a woman flirting with Graham. After seeing Xiao Ran leave, he asked The lady in front of him apologized and got into the crowd, while Naluo, who had been sitting on a certain booth, stood up after seeing Xiao Ran's movements and followed him without leaving a trace.
When Xiao Ran came to a deserted place, Graham and Naluo appeared behind him not long after.
Xiao Ran turned around slowly. Looking at the two people as if they were thinking about something, they finally said: "Does Laguna Harvey know?"
Graham nodded thoughtfully and said, "The tycoon who has mastered the transportation of three orbital elevators?"
"It's good to know him. Go and invite him to my residence as a guest after he finishes his skills." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "If he refuses, Na Luo."
Naluo quickly responded: "I know what to do."
Xiao Ran's residence in Tokyo is in a group of villas near the headquarters. Most of the people living there are senior military officers, senior government officials and powerful people from the entire Japan Special Economic Zone. However, the place where Xiao Ran lives is even more so in that group of villas. The core of the building is manned by soldiers around the clock. It's directly to the officers' area, and the security is very strong.
Graham and Naluo followed the order and left. Xiao Ran returned to the cocktail party again and started socializing. It was not until ten o'clock that he got up to say goodbye and got into the car driven by the guard and left the venue. He returned to his house more than half an hour later. In residence.
There were no other people in the residence except two young and beautiful female servants who exuded youthful vitality. These two servants were also specially selected to serve Xiao Ran and were responsible for all his life at home. The problem, of course, is if Xiao Ran thinks about it. It doesn't matter much if you do more. As for the team of guards, they lived in small buildings on both sides of Xiao Ran's residence, and had to be on duty 24 hours a day to protect Xiao Ran's safety.
After walking through the door and nodding to the two servants who greeted him, Xiao Ran went directly back to the bedroom, thinking about not contacting Shirley Lu for several days. Then he took out his communicator and dialed Shirley Lu's communication.
The communicator rang for a full minute before Shirley Lu's joyful voice came: "Xiao Ran!"
Xiao Ran smiled gently, took off the mask on his face and placed it on the bedside, and said, "What are you doing? I've been too busy these days to contact you. I'm sorry."
"I know you're busy." Shirley also smiled lightly on the other end of the communication, with a happy smile on her face: "I've been busy these days. I have to be busy with the new album. I thought you might be very busy, so I didn’t call you to bother you. Wang Liumei was also with me during this period, so I didn’t feel lonely. But for a good woman like me, you have to keep it in mind, don’t you? Do it when you're alone."
"I know." Xiao Ran listened to Shirley Lu's words, and the smile on his face became brighter: "I have always kept you in my heart. I have already settled down here. Whenever you have time, just come over directly. ”
"Really?" Shirley Lu was overjoyed. Perhaps because she missed Xiao Ran too much, she didn't speak as harshly as usual, but asked in surprise: "If I go over, what will happen to you later?" Doesn’t action matter?”
Xiao Ran smiled and said: "Before, it was because we hadn't arranged it properly, but now it doesn't matter anymore. And I don't want you and me to go here and there. I think it's best to see you every day."
"Humph, this is what you said. Don't ask me to go somewhere else when the time comes." Shirley Lu replied carefully to Xiao Ran, and then said directly: "Then I'll be here right away!"
Xiao Ran didn't react for a moment, looked at the dark sky outside the window, and said in shock: "Come right away?"
"Yeah, what? Is there something shameful you don't want me to see? Hum." Shirley lowered her voice and emphasized her tone.
"How is that possible?" Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "I was wondering where you are now."
Shirley's voice was full of smiles: "Send someone to pick me up, Tokyo's No. 1 Commercial Avenue. If no one comes in half an hour, hum, I will go back to the union homeland tomorrow."
"Really?" Xiao Ran stood up from the bed, picked up the mask and put it on his face: "I'll send someone over right away."
Xiao Ran didn't expect that Shirley Lu would also come to Tokyo. This was a very unexpected surprise. He had not seen Shirley Lu for a while and he was really homesick for her. Now that his life was well arranged, he naturally didn't want to go to Tokyo. Lilu continued to be alone outside, and of course she wanted to bring Shirley to her side.
Xiao Ran went downstairs and stopped the maid who was making midnight snacks for Xiao Ran. The two maids were originally special service personnel and were not only good at cooking. Xiao Ran told the two of them Shirley Lu's address. , the two of them went to the garage and drove away without even changing their clothes. They also brought a small team of guards with them to greet the general's wife. How could it not be more grand and less safe
While Xiao Ran was waiting for Shirley Lu, Graham and Naluo also entered the residence with someone. The appearance of the three people also made Xiao Ran come back to his senses. He sorted out his emotions and thoughts and stood up. After facing Graham and Naluo, he stepped aside and walked to Laguna Harvey in front.
"Mr. Laguna Harvey, I have long admired you."
Laguna, who looked a little fat with his naked beard and beard, also extended his right hand to Xiao Ran: "Hello, General Xiao."
"Please sit down." Xiao Ran guided Laguna to sit down on the sofa, and nodded in the direction of Naluo. Not long after, Naluo brought two cups of tea and placed them on Xiao Ran and Laguna respectively. forward.
"Please drink tea." Xiao Ran said politely, and then said to Na Luo: "Na Luo, Graham, check it out."
Naluo nodded and walked out of the residence again. Graham also shrugged, took out an instrument from his arms and pressed it, then nodded to Xiao Ran. Not long after, Na Luo also walked in and nodded to Xiao Ran, indicating that there was no problem.
It was only at this moment that Xiao Ran said to Laguna: "It's very presumptuous to invite Mr. Laguna here so late. It's because I don't understand something, and I hope I can ask Mr. Laguna for advice."
Laguna said with a smile: "General Xiao, you are too polite. If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as I know it, I can tell General Xiao an answer."
"Really." Xiao Ran smiled slightly, leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said slowly: "If I ask Mr. Laguna about heavenly beings, will it be the same?"
Laguna was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiao Ran and then at Graham and Naluo, and suddenly shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect that these two are also my own people, you really shocked me, But should I call you General Xiao or Alex?"
"Under such circumstances, I think it's better to call me the first one." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Laguna may have done a lot for my affairs at that time, right?"
Laguna waved his hand and said, "I was not the one who specifically came forward to contact me. Although I gave up a lot of benefits, it was only shared equally by the family consortium, so it is not a problem."
"Anyway, I still need to thank Mr. Laguna." Xiao Ran nodded, suddenly groaned, and said: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Laguna here today, just because I met some people who I didn't understand well. I couldn’t find the right person to discuss the matter, so I invited you, Mr. Laguna, to come here.”
Laguna's face also became serious: "Please tell me."
"Tianren is a private organization. Currently, there are only four machines on display. They appear in front of the world as a private armed force. The purpose is to eradicate war. What is shown to the outside world only shows that we have mastered the new technology. No one can imitate the energy and technology of the machine without obtaining the real thing, and these things are completely the secrets of heaven and earth, including the intelligence of heaven and earth."
"My doubt is that if there is a traitor among the gods and secretly relies on the technology in the gods to create things that should not be made, and these things are likely to leak the secrets of the gods, then for this traitor, La Mr. Guna, what will you choose to do?”(…)
