I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

Hu Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes quickly turned left and right in his socket.

"What are we ordering tonight? There is no pork here. I really want to eat pork..." Hu Xiaoxiao said to him.

Chen Ling could probably guess that Hu Xiaoxiao read his own materials in private. In the past few days, she flipped up and down on the computers of CS company and port company. As long as she wanted, she could read all the information.

"Yes, billionaires can't eat pork either." Chen Ling smiled.

Hu Xiaoxiao flipped through the menu without looking up, "Are you really a billionaire?"

"I think your analysis was right. I should be a billionaire."

"Is a billionaire great? A billionaire who can't even eat pork is not as good as the millionaires back then!"

Chen Ling heard what Hu Xiaoxiao meant, and said: "Let's eat fish, eat crabs, and some white wine, how about?"

"Okay, I will pick fish and crabs. Later, they will come with a cart and I will pick them; you can choose the wine, you want Bordeaux white wine."

This restaurant has fresh fish, shrimps and crabs caught from the sea every day. They are iced with ice cubes and pushed directly to the guests’ tables. The guests personally choose and then choose the method.

The same kind of fish, different in size and meat quality, the chef will suggest the best practices according to the ingredients for the guests to choose.

Hu Xiaoxiao stood in front of the car filled with ice cubes and fish and shrimps, carefully selecting.

"Unfortunately, there is no Longliyu today. Otherwise, no matter how big or small, I will want to roast and eat it." Hu Xiaoxiao felt sorry because there was no chance to "roast and eat" Chen Ling's company.

"Don't be so cruel, our Longli company's service is still very good. By the way, you were very brave that day, just a little bit worse than me."

Hu Xiaoxiao squeezed the tongs of a crab with his fingers, and said: "This lady is very strong, a hundred times stronger than this crab with teeth and claws. Will you eat this crab tonight? Let's have a few more shrimps, all grilled. "

"I have selected my ingredients. Have you selected your white wine, Big Crab?" Hu Xiaoxiao sat back and pinched a piece of garlic bread into his mouth.

"I don't know how to choose. The restaurant manager recommended one and it will come right away."

"Recommended by the restaurant manager? Will it be expensive?" Hu Xiaoxiao frowned, seemingly worried about Chen Ling's wallet.

"No, authentic Bordeaux white wine is best with seafood."

"Okay, anyway, I'm a big eater today. Don't think I am small, I have a very good appetite. Be careful with your wallet..."

The two chatted like this, chatting casually.

After the dishes were served, Hu Xiaoxiao raised his glass and said, "Chen Ling Crab, congratulations! Thank you!"

"Why did I become a big crab?" Chen Ling said dissatisfied.

"Hmph, because you have opened so many companies, like a crab with teeth and claws; then you go wherever you go, walking sideways like a crab. Am I right?"

Chen Ling picked up a pair of crab tongs and said, "No! Because I don't have these pair of tongs."

"Aren't you the tongs in your hand, big crab?"

"Oh-Xiaoxiao, did you order this big crab to laugh at me? Or do you eat me?"

Hu Xiaoxiao stared at Chen Ling, took another sip from the wine glass, and said, "Sister, of course I eat crabs!"

Hu Xiaoxiao is two years older than Chen Ling, so she called herself her sister in front of Chen Ling several times.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm really puzzled, why did you come to Africa?"

"Huh? You broke school right out of school, classmate Chen Ling—"

Chen Ling looked wronged: "Sister, what are you talking about? Where did I fail to learn? I don't understand!"

"Hmph, don't be proud! I tell you, there is an older brother above me, who is also in Africa! You dare to bully me, my brother beats you!"

"Oh? Your brother is also in Africa? What does he do?"

"He is at CR Company and is the deputy general manager of CR International in North Africa, mainly responsible for the railway business."

Chen Ling has heard of CR company, because it is so famous, not less than CS company, and has a lot of business in Algeria.

"You brother and sister are both in Africa. Does your family have any connections with Africa?"

Hu Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "I can't tell you the origin. My father was a diplomat before he retired, and he worked briefly in Africa for a while..."

Hu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ling ate and chatted, and unknowingly drank two glasses of wine each. Chen Ling got up to pour some more for Hu Xiaoxiao, the phone rang.

It was from Francois.

"Mr. Chen, what you ordered has been done. The Ministry of the Interior confirmed that the sniper was the guard of former GIGN Major Taier through the use of sniper rifles and bullets."

This is something Chen Ling already knew. "Where is that tall man?" Chen Ling asked.

"The tall man has been handed over to the Ministry of the Interior, and he said everything. The Ministry of the Interior arrested Debeche, an executive of the port company, and then dug up a group of people. The Ministry of the Interior has already applied for an arrest warrant to remove an opposition party. The leader was detained."

"Oh? So fast?"

"Yes, it is said that we will continue to dig, from the port company to the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Interior, and other departments. This incident will be fully exploited to attack the opposition, but the opposition is not simple and is organizing a counterattack. Mr. Chen, you are likely to become a famous person."

This is exactly what Chen Ling worries about.

"François, prepare. I am leaving Algeria for a while."

Chen Ling immediately made up his mind.

Hu Xiaoxiao saw that Chen Ling was in a bad mood, and asked softly: "Chen Ling, are you leaving? Where are you going?"

"Go home for a while."

"Atypical pneumonia is happening in the country now, you have to go back, and you won't be able to come to Algeria in the short term."

Chen Ling didn't notice the news in this regard, and asked, "Why?"

"SARS spreads very strongly in the country. Many countries have issued travel prohibitions, including Algeria. Several colleagues of our company in the country were stopped and could not get out."

"SARS will always pass, right?"

"Yes, but, who knows how long it will be, one month? Half a year? I'm not sure."

Chen Ling was silent and did not consider whether to stay or leave for a while.

The phone rang again.

This time it was a call from the Minister of Transportation.

The old minister rarely called Chen Ling himself, even if he knew Chen Ling's identity and influence.

"Mr. Chen, you already know the good news? I know you are well informed, but don't worry about the current situation. The bidding results for this new port project will not change. After the situation stabilizes in two days, we will start. The construction of a new port. The person in charge of the Yongdai Group will be sentenced, the Yongdai Group will be expelled, and it will never be allowed to enter our country’s market."

Chen Ling asked: "How do you think this situation will change?"

"That group of people will definitely come out to stir up public opinion and stir up emotions. Only those few moves have been seen countless times."

"Then will I be criticized by them?"

"This... hard to say, hard to say. Their methods are very despicable, and they like to engage in personal attacks..."

The words of the Minister of Communications made Chen Ling determined that he must leave Algeria for a period of time as soon as possible.

But where do you go?

"Chen Ling, I have an idea." Hu Xiaoxiao said, "I'm going to take a vacation right away. I have an appointment with a colleague to go to Europe for a period of time as a vacation. Why don't you go with us? "

Chen Ling did not speak.

"Hey, don't worry, it's a female colleague!" Hu Xiaoxiao added, probably because she drank white wine and her face was a little red.

Hu Xiaoxiao's suggestion is very attractive.

Europe is a good place to travel. Chen Ling has never been there before, and has long been longing for it.

When you go to Europe, you can stop by to Switzerland to see the bank where you deposit your money.

Moreover, with two beautiful women, the journey should be very pleasant.

Chen Ling was about to promise Hu Xiaoxiao when a text message came.

Chen Ling glanced, his heart moved.

"Xiaoxiao, thank you for your suggestion!" Chen Ling said, "but, I'm afraid I will go to another place first."
