Chapter 2 The Second Floor

On the second floor, inside the VIP gambling hall, the lame man put down his phone and glanced at the text message on it.

"Jiang Xiaonian, holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Hua District, currently serving in the Intelligence Bureau of the Western Theater Command, as the director of the Foreign Intelligence Division. Social connections: Rumor has it that he is the nephew of Li Fugui, the former Minister of the Hua District Police Headquarters. He changed his name to Jiang Xiaonian to avoid suspicion, and his former name was Jiang Zhou..."

The lame man carefully read the information: "That's right! Since we're discussing such a big deal, they couldn't send just any minion, but they definitely wouldn't send some公子哥 (gong zi ge, son of high-ranking officials) from some powerful family."

"Yes, General Manager Miao!" the assistant replied immediately.

That's right, the person sitting on the sofa was none other than Miao Ziwei, who was now lame and disfigured. As the negotiating party for a major district capital, he was the first to arrive to prepare the ground. Because the Qingyi Bureau had received news that the factions of the First District were strangling the Lao Li team, preventing them from conducting arms business in The Dragon City. Therefore, the next adjustment for Lao Li's team was likely to be along the canal line.

In addition, the First District had long coveted this place, so entering the game at this time was both defensive and offensive.

As the Baolong Group, a government-backed capital, would naturally not miss this opportunity, because once they understood the canal line, it would be equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of the Panama region, an absolutely profitable business opportunity.

Beside the sofa, the assistant looked at Miao Ziwei and added, "However, this Jiang Xiaonian should have a lot of power, after all, he is responsible for the negotiations..."

Miao Ziwei frowned and waved his hand: "What power can a nephew of a district-level cadre have? Li Fugui has long retired, and he's a nephew, not a son, which is like a relative of a relative. He has some status, but he doesn't count as 'red blood'. Don't focus your energy on him. We still need to focus on contacting the core of the Bernardo family."

...

Downstairs.

After Nison Bernardo finished his speech, the audience applauded thunderously. Jiang Zhou thought that Bruna would take him to meet the old man, but he didn't expect her to leave directly from backstage without even staying at the venue.

In this case, the meaning of the charity gala was not significant to Jiang Zhou, so he later took Su Tianyu, Bai Hongbo and others to play two symbolic games in the VIP hall.

However, unlike what Su Tianyu had imagined, although Jiang Zhou was a公子哥 (gong zi ge, son of high-ranking officials), and his identity could be considered a district-level descendant, he was relatively frugal in his behavior, except for the necessary socializing. He lost less than two hundred thousand, which made him so angry that he left the table directly.

Su Tianyu intentionally tried to suck up to him, so he had Da Bai take the initiative to call out to Jiang Zhou: "Is it inconvenient for you to swipe your card? It's okay, our Chairman Su has money in his pocket. If you want to play, he can lend you a hundred first?"

Jiang Zhou waved his hand directly: "Forget it, forget it! I'm not interested in this. When I was a kid, I gambled toys with the kids in the compound, and my mom broke three sticks on my legs. I have a psychological shadow."

"Your aunt manages you so strictly?"

"Hehe, yeah, she's very nice to other kids, but she's stricter with me." Jiang Zhou said with a smile, "I'm not playing anymore. If you guys like to play, then play. I'll wait for you downstairs for a while."

"If you're not playing, what are we playing for? Isn't that being insensitive?" Da Bai immediately called Su Tianyu back: "Let's go, let's go."

Thus, the group said goodbye to Bruna and quickly left the charity gala. What they didn't notice when they left was that someone in the crowd took a picture of them with a non-light camera.

...

Back at the hotel, after a simple meal, Jiang Zhou found Su Tianyu in the room and whispered to him, "How are your copywriting skills?"

"Hehe." Su Tianyu smiled: "Does a dignified delegation leader like you need me to do the copywriting?"

"I just want you to do it while discussing it with me, right?" Jiang Zhou didn't put on any airs. In addition, he was about the same age as Su Tianyu, so the two of them had become completely familiar with each other on this joint trip, and their relationship had obviously warmed up a lot.

"Okay." Su Tianyu stretched his back: "Are we making a quotation?"

"Something like that. Let's talk about our demands, mention the conditions, and then open up a little more." Jiang Zhou replied.

"Alright, I'll get the computer." Su Tianyu got up.

"I'll get something to drink." Jiang Zhou also stood up: "What do you want to drink?"

Su Tianyu looked at him with some doubts: "Why is your accent neither northern nor southern? Hey, where are you from?"

Jiang Zhou said with a smile, "I'm definitely from the north! My dad is from Songjiang, but my mom is from the south. Plus, I'm often on business trips outside, so my accent changes a lot."

"Oh, right!" Su Tianyu nodded slowly: "Many of the leaders in the Hua District are from Songjiang."

Jiang Zhou looked at him: "Your family should also be from the north, right?"

"Yes, we are a northern family." Su Tianyu replied, "My dad used to be from the Old North Gang, but later... Ah, never mind."

Jiang Zhou looked at his expression and didn't ask any further questions, but quickly walked towards the tea room.

On this business trip, as long as Su Tianyu and Jiang Zhou were talking about things, everyone else would automatically avoid them. Even the assistants and security personnel were not in the room, but stayed in the living room of the suite.

After a short while.

Su Tianyu brought back the computer and quickly made a draft in both Chinese and English.

An expert only needs to make one move to show their skill!

Jiang Zhou glanced at the speed and ideas of Su Tianyu's draft, and immediately said, "You're good at both writing and martial arts!"

"I just happened to show you my shining points." Su Tianyu replied with a smile, "Cultural classes are very important in military academies these days! If a student in an advanced command department can't make diagrams or write reports, then isn't that just an idiot?"

"That makes sense!"

"Okay, tell me how to write it!"

"Let's talk about the investment priorities first...!" Jiang Zhou thought for a moment and began to describe his ideas.

Su Tianyu transformed into a little secretary, seriously working on the documents and illustrations.

...

In a mountainous area of Panama.

Su Tiannan sat in an off-road vehicle, sorted out a large pile of information, and dialed his superior's phone: "Hello, Vice President, I've caught a few leads here. Our eight special agents may have been killed by a gang in Panama City. I'm currently preparing to investigate further."

"No, stop for a moment?!"

"Stop for a moment?" Su Tiannan was a little surprised; "Why?"

"People from the Hua District have contacted us. In the next operation, we may have to cooperate with multiple forces, including those from The Dragon City." The vice president of the Huagong Association said bluntly, "The water in Panama is very deep right now, and our association can't swallow it alone! Wait a little longer, and I'll notify you after the higher-ups have finished coordinating. Oh, right, in the next few days, you may need to contact people from the Hua District."

Su Tiannan blinked: "People from The Dragon City are also here? Then won't my brother...!"

"Yes, your brother is also here." The other party replied softly, "Hehe, he has some connection with our Huagong Association. After finishing this job, he can be considered as getting acquainted in advance."
