Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 160: Revived memory
A pub in the city center of Geneva, Switzerland.
At noon, sunlight poured in through the colorful carved glass, turning the wine table into a colorful platter.
He Zihong touched the table top with his hand, and unexpectedly found that the wood of the wine table was actually sugar maple.
There are many types of wood in European furniture. Generally, tavern tables do not need to be too particular about the materials. They are strong and durable. Beech wood is a common choice.
Sugar maple, this fine wood native to North America, is still rare.
As far as the natural wood grain of the tabletop is concerned, this sugar maple tree is nearly sixty years old, which is not easy.
"He Lao."
Di Hongzhe sits opposite He Zihong at the moment, watching He Zihong studying the desk, smiling slightly: "When I was still in school, I had read your masterpiece. That book is my work in botany. Enlightenment."
He Zihong was suddenly shocked, remembering that there were people around him, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he raised the wine glass on the table.
When Di Hongzhe saw this, he hurriedly toasted.
The two took a sip of whiskey at the same time. Di Hongzhe said: "Old Ho, congratulations on your promotion to the vice president of the research society. I can rest assured that you are currently presiding over the work of the research society."
"These kind words are unnecessary. Everyone knows that this is a thankless chore." He Zihong smiled bitterly and patted the sugar maple table lightly. "Being a biologist for decades, Suddenly I have to change to a different way of living. I am really uncomfortable. It seems that I have entered a completely unfamiliar world."
"Elder He, you invited me here this time..." Di Hongzhe threw the question halfway, and then smiled again, "It is my honor to be invited by you for lunch. But it is my honor. Drinking in broad daylight does not seem to be your style."
"Hehe, Elder Di." He Zihong smiled, "There are only three Chinese in this elder's house. Among them, Miao Guangqi is still far away in the United States. As the new vice president of me, few can speak. People who are in love, my heart is all over and over. From now on, how close you and I will be, come, and I respect you."
After this sentence, He Zihong raised his head and drank it.
Di Hongzhe was slightly surprised when he saw He Zihong, who was twenty years older than him, drink this way, but since the other party was so happy, of course he had to save face and drank all the wine in the cup.
Both of them are scholars, so their drinking is not good.
The alcohol content of whiskey is not as good as domestic high-grade liquor, but it is also around 40 degrees.
Pour two cups of each one, and the face is a little red.
He Zihong smiled and said, "It's really dizzy after this glass of wine. Elder Di, next, I will say some drunken things. Don't take it off."
"Oh?" Di Hongzhe asked, "What drunken talk?"
"Oh." He Zihong looked a little bit difficult, rubbed his hands, and said softly, "I shouldn't have said this, but now I am sitting in my position and I have to say it again."
"President He, please speak."
"Elder Di, did you offend Elder Miao Guangqi somewhere?" He Zihong asked in a deep voice with a straight expression.
Di Hongzhe was taken aback for a while, seemingly surprised, and asked: "Where does this start?"
"A few days ago, the elder Miao Guangqi was in China and asked me for your personnel file." He Zihong said, "You know, he is ranked higher than you and has this authority. And I was not a deputy at the time. President, the ranking is also behind him. Therefore, I cannot refuse his request.
It stands to reason that this requirement is not unusual.
In the first half of the year, our Vice President William had just passed away, and a seat was vacated in the Presbyterian House. Naturally, it was necessary to make up for it.
The new elder makes up for it, then you have the opportunity to move the position of elder Di forward.
And you, you are very young, and the top elders want to know more about you. This is not a bad thing, but a normal personnel inspection. "
After hearing these words, Di Hongzhe nodded: "I can understand this."
"However, the problem is that if other elders visit you, it is normal, but it is Elder Miao Guangqi." He Zihong changed the conversation, "Elder Di, you should know that Elder Miao Guangqi is in the United States all the time. His main responsibility in the meeting is to be in charge of the strange creatures. As for the personnel in the meeting, he has never asked about it.
But this time, he suddenly became interested in you, which makes me a little strange. "
When Di Hongzhe listened to these words, his eyes kept looking at He Zihong, seeming to discern the authenticity of his statement.
When He Zihong's words stopped, Di Hongzhe smiled and raised his glass: "President He is worried? I think, maybe Elder Miao Guangqi has the same idea as you.
Look, you were about to take over as the vice president at that time. This is our overseas Chinese, the highest position in the history of the International Society for Biological Research.
They are all descendants of Yan and Huang, presumably Elder Miao Guangqi, he should be very happy in his heart.
Let’s take a look at my file by the way. The senior Chinese of us should know more about each other so that we can work better in the future.
As you said, we Chinese elders, we will get closer and closer in the future. "
"I didn't expect Di Chang to be so young in his old age, but with such a high level of consciousness. This makes me admire." He Zihong followed to toast, and the two drank again.
At this point in the conversation, He Zihong understood.
This Di Hongzhe is not simple.
It is impossible for ordinary scholars to throw such words down and not have ripples in their hearts.
Slightly poor self-cultivation makes it difficult to hold on to your face.
But this Di Hongzhe, even in a half-drunk state, still speaks beautifully, showing a very high level of political literacy.
No wonder, this person will become the son-in-law of the Northern European royal family.
However, Di Hongzhe is still younger than He Zihong.
He Zihong noticed that Di Hongzhe's current state is not slack enough, and he is a typical defensive posture.
He is guarding against the conversation between the two, developing in a direction he didn't expect.
This is the benefit of alcohol. He Zihong believes that if he talks to him like this, he will not make such a mistake.
Di Hongzhe has a poor drinking volume. This is the information He Zihong saw in his personal files, and he will use it now.
Di Hongzhe does not need to drink wine when someone asks for it, but he, the vice-chairman, invited him graciously, and he only had a few drinks, so he had no reason to refuse.
He Zihong then said again: "But this time is not quite right."
"Oh? What's wrong?" Di Hongzhe asked.
"The Mountain Hades incident in the Altai Mountains has not yet ended." He Zihong said, "Elder Miao Guangqi is in charge of this. And your daughter Dilan happens to be in this area, you father and daughter His research direction is the zombie fungus that is very similar to the way of life of the mountain king.
Of course, this is a coincidence in my eyes.
But Elder Miao Guangqi was reading your personnel file at this time. Obviously, his thoughts are not consistent with mine. "
When He Zihong said this, Di Hongzhe's expression was slightly startled, and the smile on his face instantly solidified.
He leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, and asked, "President Ho, what should I do according to you?"
"Hehe, Elder Di, don't be nervous." He Zihong smiled, "There are only three of us Chinese in the elder's house. I don't want to see the disagreement between the two of you last.
Elder Miao Guangqi’s suspicion, I personally think it is far-fetched. However, he is a bit withdrawn, and he views things more radically.
In my position now, his doubts about you are okay in terms of authority.
If I speak for you in the official name, it will appear that I am doing things unfairly.
So, Elder Di, you might as well communicate with Elder Miao Guangqi in person.
I can make this call for you, just use my cell phone.
Today happens to be a day off. This bad old man of mine has nothing to do to get drunk, say some drunken things, do some silly things, he should be understandable. "
While speaking, He Zihong stretched out his arms, took out his mobile phone, and placed it on the wine table.
"I understand the kindness of President He." Di Hongzhe said, "I will find an opportunity to communicate with Elder Miao Guangqi."
"Alright." He Zihong slowly took back his phone, thinking that today's meal was really not in vain.
According to common sense, if you make such a suggestion, normal people will have two reactions.
Either he didn't refute his own vice president's face and made the phone call to clarify the misunderstanding.
Either it doesn't matter, let Miao Guangqi doubt it, and the clear ones will clear up for themselves.
But Di Hongzhe now rejected his "good intentions", and at the same time said that he would find another time to communicate with Miao Guangqi.
This is to subconsciously admit that Miao Guangqi's suspicion is reasonable.
At the same time, it also indicated that he and Miao Guangqi had a personal relationship.
This Di Hongzhe also has a problem.
……
Mountains in the northern part of the Altai Mountains.
Anne lay on the top of the hill to the west, carefully hiding herself, while silently observing the situation in the valley.
As a Su family hunter, he has two major responsibilities in the hunting team.
One is to detect and lure the enemy, and the other is to protect other hunters in the middle of the team.
And if the Su family hunter's strength is very strong, the Su family hunter will have another authority.
That is the whole journey, no need to stay in the squad, cruising around the squad, and doing things cheaply.
Of course, Su family hunters with this kind of authority are rare in history.
Anne knew that she hadn't reached that level yet, so for now, she could only follow Lin Shuo's command.
If Lin Shuo has no further instructions, she will stay where she is, unless the situation on the field forces her to take action.
Don't add chaos, it's Anne's experience in many actions with Lin Shuo.
But I didn't add to the chaos, Lin Shuo, who preached to himself all day, was really messed up this time.
When Lin Shuo and the Beast were about to collide, Anne's heart jumped into her throat.
But when the result of the collision came out later, Anne had to admire Lin Shuo even more.
According to Miao Guangqi's careful teaching over the years, although Anne has not much actual combat experience at present, she still has vision.
She could see that Lin Shuo changed his tricks the moment he collided with the beast.
The reason for the change was the gunshot on the snowy mountain to the south.
It should have been Wei Xingshan who fired the gun. He was in danger. So Lin Shuo used the brute force of the beast~IndoMTL.com~ to rush in the direction of the gunfire.
As the inheritor of the Su family's "listening to the mountain" stunt, Anne has a better understanding of the mountains than Zhang Jin.
The mountain top she chose has a very good sight.
So the parabola that Lin Shuo drew in the air fell in her eyes from beginning to end.
At the end of this wonderful arc, on the top of the snow-capped mountain, Anne saw the figure of a woman holding a sword.
Before in Heishuilongcheng in Waixing'anling, this woman either changed her face in front of Anne, or disappeared in a flash. Anne never had a chance to see this woman's face clearly.
And now, even though the pretty face is very far apart, Anne still recognizes it.
In an instant, she felt a memory hidden in her mind, and it was suddenly revived.
Twenty years ago, in the ice and snow of Alaska, there was a little girl of her own age who was her playmate.
Then the two quarreled, and she snatched her doll, and then tore it to pieces little by little.
I heard from the instructor that she is a child of a friend's house.
Anne still vaguely remembered the scene when this little girl met herself for the first time:
"My name is Nie Xuan, and I will be a very powerful assassin in the future."
At that time, these words came from a little girl, and Anne, who was also a little girl, of course couldn't understand.
Now, Anne understands.
This playmate who couldn't get along with him at the time has indeed become a very powerful assassin.
During the assassination, she died in Lin Shuo's hands and also died in front of her.
It's just that Anne still doesn't understand why she appeared in Alaska, in her childhood memories.
She is the mentor Miao Guangqi, which friend's child?
