Chapter 1158 Die Hard
Ethan's journey to find his team members went very smoothly.
In other words, it was a little too smooth.
He found computer masters and guys with great energy all at once.
Then he just boasted about the other party's invasion of the NATO headquarters information network, and the other party's mouth immediately became more difficult to suppress than AK.
Then he stated the goal this time and said that the challenge was more difficult than last time. The computer expert immediately agreed to participate in this operation.
Another guy, although he said he was extremely unwilling to participate at the beginning, he immediately agreed when he learned that the information about the theft in this operation had been reserved by a buyer in advance, and his personal share was very high.
After identifying the team members, Ethan and others naturally started an action plan.
Ethan didn't know whether it was to prevent Zhang Pin from participating in the operation and possibly stealing information, or whether he was really not needed. Anyway, Zhang Pin was not arranged for the final response.
Zhang Pin, who did not participate in the action, was not idle either.
Because he received an invitation to a cocktail party.
The inviter was not America's company, but the company from Xiaozhi.
They did not invite Sir Zhang at the beginning. This company cooperates with the Bridge Bank, and Sir Zhang is one of the shareholders of the Bank.
After Chen Tianqiao learned that Zhang Pin was in Luoji Mountain, he forwarded the invitation to him.
The reason why Sir Zhang became a shareholder of Daqiao Bank is of course because he has deposited a lot of money in Daqiao Bank over the years.
He usually used the money sparingly, and slowly turned it into shares of the Bridge Bank.
Regarding this invitation to the banquet, Sir Zhang originally did not want to attend, but the people from Xiaoben had very sinister intentions. The other party said that this banquet was their annual meeting and they would invite many popular stars from Xiaoben.
Come and perform.
After the performance, these stars will also accompany the distinguished guests of their companies.
Sir Zhang doesn't care if popular actors are not actors, but Bridge Bank has just loaned a sum of money to this group. Naturally, he, as a shareholder of the bank, needs to inspect the qualifications of this group.
By the way, this company is called Zhongfu Group.
The banquet was held at the Fox Building.
A plane from New York to Luojishan is about to land at the airport.
He has an ordinary appearance, with no muscle lines on his body. On the contrary, he is a bit overworked and fat, but his temperament is tough and a bit rough.
But at this moment, the strong man was obviously a little nervous, especially when he saw that the plane had landed. His left hand, which was wearing a wedding ring, was tightly grasping the seat rail, and his breathing became rapid.
His nervousness naturally attracted the attention of the man riding next to him.
The other party was dressed as a business elite and was obviously not surprised by this situation. He smiled kindly and then took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the man.
"You don't like flying, do you?"
"Why do you think so?"
The tough man obviously has a strong personality. At this moment, his first reaction is not to answer, but to startle the other person instead.
"Do you want to know how to survive a flight?"
The elite man smiled knowingly at the strong man's show of strength, then took the initiative to ignore the topic and instead talked to the other party about ways to relieve tension.
"After you get off the plane, you should take off your shoes and walk around. It's best to curl your toes into a fist shape, so that you won't be so nervous when you get on a plane next time."
"Curl your toes into fists?"
The tough man was obviously confused about what the other party said.
"It sounds a little crazy, but you have to believe it is true, because this is an experience trip that I gained after nine years of flying. It is much better than other things like taking a bath or drinking coffee."
"Okay, although I'm a little nervous, thank you anyway. My name is John."
Although a tough man has a strong personality, he is not the kind of person who can't tell a good guy from a bad guy.
So he naturally felt that the other party had good intentions.
Just at this time, the plane stopped, so John got up to get his luggage from the luggage rack above.
When the elite man heard John's thanks, he smiled and was about to respond politely. When he looked up, he saw the pistol carried under John's arm. This made his originally elegant face suddenly turn pale. What he wanted to say was,
I couldn't say anything at this time.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I'm the police!"
John's eyes were very keen, and he naturally discovered the reason for the change in the elite man's expression.
After hearing John's words, the elite man forced a smile on his face, but did not speak.
"Believe me, I've been a police officer for eleven years!"
John smiled and replied to the elite man, then hugged a huge brown stuffed toy, looked at the space, and got off the plane smoothly.
John was not actually nervous about flying.
John works for the New York Police Department. He is strong in business and has a bad temper. He is a headache for his bosses and colleagues. He can be regarded as an enhanced version of Luojishan Carter.
What troubles him is not his career, but his family.
John's wife, Holly, was originally just an ordinary employee, but over the years, foreign capital has conquered America.
Especially since the 1980s, small consortiums have been waving their money and clamoring to buy out the entire America. Naturally, they have expanded their business here.
Holly has always had a good eye for marriage, and she took a fancy to John as a potential stock in her marriage.
The two have had a pair of children over the years.
In her career, she also decisively joined Xiaobenzi’s company when it first entered America.
In fact, the development was the same as her choice. The small business she joined was barely stable in America, and because Holly joined early, she was naturally promoted to become a group executive.
Originally, if they developed normally, John and Holly would definitely be typical examples of achieving double success in life and career.
But the reality is often far from satisfactory.
Because although there are certain differences between relationship management and partnership business, they are actually very similar.
When John has been unable to get promoted in the police station for many years due to his bad temper, while Holly has been promoted step by step in the America branch of Zhongfu Group and reached the ranks of senior executives, the original small family began to shine brightly.
lamp.
Especially since Holly was transferred from New York to Luojishan six months ago due to work reasons, and she brought her two children with her. Later, for the convenience of work, Holly took it upon herself to change the two children to her own surname.
From then on, their marriage seemed to be coming to an end.
This time coincided with the annual meeting held by Holly's company in America. Holly changed her past habit of never inviting John to get to know her colleagues in order to avoid looking down on married women in her childhood, and abnormally extended an invitation to John.
After receiving this invitation, John judged based on his more than ten years of experience as a police officer that the reason why Holly allowed herself to appear in front of colleagues and leaders of the other company so generously this time was obviously not to repair the relationship with him.
More likely, the other person wants to completely end their long marriage.
John had already been mentally prepared for divorcing Holly.
But when he thought that after divorcing Holly, the two children no longer belonged to him, and it would be difficult to even get visitation rights in the future, John was so nervous that his body trembled.
Obviously he is not willing to give up this marriage.
"Mr. John?"
John got off the plane with a headache, but a black man stood in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Argyle! Mr. Aoki asked me to pick you up."
Holly's status in Zhongfu Group seemed to be good. When she learned that John was coming, Aoki, the head of the America branch of Zhongfu Group, specially arranged a luxury car to pick him up.
On the way, the black boy Argyle also noticed John's discomfort, and the other party went out of his way to comfort him, but unfortunately the effect was obviously ineffective.
"Hey, sir, why don't I wait for you in the underground garage, so that even if you are not used to staying at banquets, there will still be a car to take you to the destination you want to go to. Otherwise, this place will not be so easy to get to.
Get to the car."
Argyle is obviously an enthusiastic young man.
After knowing that there was a problem in the relationship between John and his wife, and that this trip might even be for divorce, he decided to help John within his ability.
"Thanks!"
John nodded. He looked down at his plaid shirt and old jacket. It was indeed incompatible with the banquet of suits and leather shoes or gorgeous dresses.
Argyle obviously saw this and felt that he would be uncomfortable at the banquet.
However, things were somewhat different from what Argyle expected.
Following the guidance from the front desk, John took the elevator to the 31st floor where the banquet was located.
The elevator opened, and there happened to be two Asians standing at the entrance of the elevator chatting.
Zhongfu Group is a small company. Although due to America's bill and the level of xenophobia, most of the executives and employees of the America branch are Americans, the presence of oriental faces is naturally indispensable.
"Mr. Zhang"
John heard that the white-haired Asian seemed to want to say something to the young and handsome Asian.
