Mafia

I finally feel that the Huaichun girl is right.But he didn't notice that his own heart had just missed a beat.Shrugging his shoulders, he asked Zong Xiao, who was staring blankly at the sea over there, if he wanted to go back to the hotel to change, and then go to a nearby pub for a drink?This time of taking a break from busy schedules and traveling with them only lasted for two years. As Zong Xiao said at the beginning, the real-time strategy game developed by APEX has gained a firm foothold in the industry with its solid reputation.Later, another RTS with a larger world view was launched, which was also very popular.Therefore, everything is ready, as the boss on the bright side, he must give full play to his professional strengths, use the contacts accumulated in the past, and list on NASDAQ.

As he predicted before, the stock price has soared.In less than two years, he has transformed from an arrogant young man who was ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth, who would stumble across industries, from his old boss, to a Silicon Valley upstart with a net worth of one billion.Although it was further financing and expanding independent distribution channels, it was attacked by big bosses.What's more, they secretly bought odd stocks with the intention of turning customers into the main.But because of the precautions, the core team is not confused by the favorable conditions of the outside world, and they work together to firmly hold the controlling stake in their hands.In the summer of the fourth year, the market value doubled again, and the helm of APEX, which no one dared to underestimate, finally received an olive branch from the political circles.Facing the godfather who was not showing any signs of the collapse of Mount Tai, Situ raised the invitation in his hand: "It's time to do it?"

Party elections are already in full swing.If there is no accident, his enemy will stand out from the three candidates with the support of his father-in-law and party leaders.

"If you kill it in the bud, there's no need to wade into this muddy water."

Although I was a student, I never encountered bullying.He also joked to the overseas students from his home country that if they make a fortune in the future, they must participate in the general election as the sponsor.After helping the big boss to take office, he used it to introduce policies that are beneficial to ethnic minorities, so as to gain more voice for the Chinese.But I know it well, it's just empty words.Even if the country is rich and wealthy, there are some deep-rooted prejudices, and it is difficult for one person to reverse them.Don't talk about the situation here, but as an agent, helping him to take revenge.Therefore, Quan regards himself as a professional manager and mentions the big boss. Starling has not yet grown up, and it is a good time to cut the grass and roots.

"Besides, APEX is not just the painstaking efforts of you and me."

To be able to grow so strong is also the credit of those veterans who work day and night and stand together through thick and thin.Thinking that he is laughing and laughing on weekdays, he has no real job, but he is extremely focused at work, and the geek who enjoys it, Situ's heart is no longer as indifferent as he used to be in the investment bank.Zong Xiao suggested that it would be best if he could make a big difference with a small amount and not affect the daily operation of APEX as much as possible: "In the primary election, there is no need to invest too much."

At most, the icing on the cake will be the icing on the cake when the final candidates are released.As for revenge, Zong Xiao said lightly: "I will not easily lose my hard work."

Although at the beginning, there was indeed a heart to die.However, by chance, he met that resourceful and decisive bounty hunter, and used some extraordinary means to find out that Starling had contacts with the notorious Gambino family.Therefore, as Situ said, it is no longer necessary to spend a lot of money to injure one thousand enemies and eight hundred self-injury.

"However, supporting a sensible candidate is beneficial and harmless."

Although the status quo is that there are few Asians in the power class.Such a long-term ambition, such as improving the status of the Chinese, has little to do with a mafia figure like him.But with short hands, looking at his thoughtful partner, the young godfather took off his black-rimmed glasses and rarely showed a sly smile: "A common man like me only hopes that the politicians who support us will make it easier for us to expand our business territory. "

As for the collected criminal evidence, when it will be made public, he closed his eyes lightly: "For the time being, only his assistant and that prominent figure are photographed."

Starling himself was never seen.Situ also lamented that such a sinister villain with careful thoughts would come forward in person: "You have a high position and authority, but you can't let go."

Not to mention the governor of M state, even when he goes out, reporters will follow him and secretly take pictures.Recalling that he accepted the invitation a few days ago and had dinner with the publisher and his wife and daughter, and the tabloid added fuel and vinegar to describe it as a blind date the next day, Situ couldn't help but laugh.He also heard Zong Xiao say: "I'm not [-]% sure, it's better to wait."

Starling is currently only the governor of a state.Even if the evidence is found and the crime is exposed, it is only a regional incident and it is difficult to make waves.With the name of his former president's father-in-law, he can be suppressed very quickly, at most he will take the blame and resign.Therefore, he sneered: "Into the public eye."

Especially as a final candidate, known to billions of people around the world, it is not the same.

"Damn."

He has been planning for so many years, just to make that person seek benevolence and win benevolence, and stand at the peak.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, there is nothing to hide, falling into the abyss, and never recovering.Recalling the past, Zong Xiao's eyes became colder.The time to catch the turtle in the urn finally arrived, even Situ felt a little excited in his heart, and said with a smile that it was a fight between the snipe and the clam, and it would be good for them to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"However, at the fundraising dinner later, we still have to save face."

Especially the governor who is determined to win, to paraphrase the words of the ancestors, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles.Therefore, when he was invited to attend the party whip's private dinner, and accidentally ran into that handsome middle-aged politician in the luxuriant courtyard, Situ was slightly taken aback, and then sneered in his heart.No wonder the president's daughter is fascinated, making her desperate.Looking at the well-maintained face, looking at the handsome face who is only in his early forties, he has a good skin, but he has no intentions.Looking back on what Zong Xiao said about the past, he even ridiculed secretly, the true and false gentlemen are beyond gold and jade, but among them are failures.

But for so many years, it doesn't show on the surface.In the face of a hypocrite who takes the initiative to meet face to face, he is neither humble nor overbearing, and has a certain amount of advance and retreat.Sophisticated and elegant politicians also look at each other with admiration.In order to win over this upstart in Silicon Valley, together with the party whip, he was strongly invited to visit the headquarters of the National Committee.However, he was disrespectful, so taking advantage of his business trip to Washington, he stopped by the three-story building that ordinary people could not enter.After taking a quick look at the flowers, I casually chatted with the data supervisor in charge of network maintenance, and unexpectedly learned that he is a loyal player of two games developed by APEX.After upgrading and maintaining the system, the newly launched gameplay is even more straightforward.I couldn't help being a little more sincere, and said with a smile that I could visit their company if I had time.I thought that the general election was approaching and government affairs were busy, and it would take at least a year or so to see that energetic young man again.A week later, during the routine weekly meeting, the secretary walked in with the documents in hand, and informed that there was a Mr. Smith downstairs who claimed to be in charge of XNC.

"Ask him to wait in the staff lounge."

After receiving the business card, it was indeed the young executive who had a good talk with him a week ago, and asked the secretary to entertain him.After the various departments reported their progress and sorted out the key points of this week's work, they adjourned the meeting and went to the lounge by themselves.

"It's really extraordinary."

Looking at the bright and childlike avant-garde design around him, compared with the rigid and lifeless headquarters, Smith admired that developing games in such a working environment will definitely get twice the result with half the effort: "It's a pity that there is no suitable position for me."

Although game companies also need data analysts, there is no relevant information on the official website. Situ also bluntly said that there is enough manpower here, so there is no need.Regretful jaw: "There is a chance."

He said he took sick leave and flew straight to San Francisco, not to seek another job.Ask Situ, can you speak alone?Although he was inexplicably suspicious, he still led him to the meeting room on the top floor and told the secretary that no one was allowed to enter or leave for the time being except for important matters.When there was no one around, Smith finally said, "You shouldn't have funded Mr. Starling."

Came here from thousands of miles to persuade him not to give money to that hypocrite?

Situ was quite surprised, but he didn't show any signs of it. He watched the young man go from apprehensive to furious. During the routine maintenance a while ago, he accidentally discovered that among the party's dignitaries, one of Starling's benefactors, a Middle Eastern Members of the royal family are impressively listed: "Not to mention that the law expressly prohibits overseas political donations."

Even if it is for the sake of homeland security, the candidates nominated by the funder who secretly supports extremist organizations to engage in terrorist activities due to sectarian differences cannot do what he wants: "If he becomes president, the funder wants him to fulfill some promises, and the consequences will be the same. Unbelievable."

Although against professional ethics.But considering that Starling is so eager to win, if unscrupulous politicians win the general election, the country's prospects are worrying.Therefore, I made up my mind to persuade the upstart to give up or support another candidate: "Your partner "R" should also agree with my idea. "

The reason why I told this horrible secret to the man in front of me is because I know that another partner of APEX, "R", hates extremism: "After the organization beheaded the hostages, it paralyzed the website and hacked the list. , It’s really a joy.”

It's not just the exchange of ideas between hackers, which is beyond the reach of people.Such a strong sense of justice is hard to match even the federal government, which stands by and does nothing.Ling Situ smiled secretly.If he knows that the great god he worships is actually the leader of the Chinese gang, and his campaign is only out of commercial considerations, will he be disillusioned?

However, Zong Xiao's identity must not be revealed.When Smith asked if he would have the honor to meet "R", Situ smiled wryly: "You also know that person doesn't like to show his face."

Since APEX grew, expanded its manpower, and relocated, Zong Xiao, like some SOHOs, began to work remotely and hadn't appeared in the company for a long time.Not to mention strangers, they will never meet each other in person.Therefore, I left Smith's personal contact information and handed it over on my behalf.After finishing the matter at hand, Zong Xiao also immediately called the internal game fan, and listened to him explain the inside story in detail, and it became more and more certain that Starling would do anything.For the sake of campaign funds, he even dared to hook up with the sponsors of terrorist organizations, not to mention a mere assistant who blocked his way, so he had to get rid of it quickly.

"protect yourself."

Because of the pain of the skin, I give advice to the kind-hearted person.When Smith asked how to reveal the true face of that hypocrite, he pondered slightly: "The physical evidence you have is highly confidential."

Find out the source.Therefore, deep down in his heart, he wished that he could bring down the enemy immediately, and he still didn't want others to take risks and repeat the mistakes of his parents.Talking to Smith about the game he loves so much, I feel that this enthusiastic young man should not go into this muddy water.Because the other party talked freely about his views on the system and dungeon settings, and put forward a lot of constructive suggestions, I also felt that it would be a good addition to the cake to poach him.

"welcome any time."

As the behind-the-scenes boss, Situ has nothing to say when the final decision is made, and he is happy to see it succeed.Waiting for the IT elite to come to join him, but for some reason, there is no movement.When Zong Xiao instructed Smith to use a high-anonymity proxy to hide each other's IP and communicate privately, the young man also said that he had some new evidence and decided to stay until Starling and the politicians he befriended showed their feet and caught them all.

However, the youth is full of enthusiasm, but his opponent is a thoughtful and ruthless politician.Zong Xiao was inevitably worried.Persuading him obliquely, don't rush forward, but he still hasn't persuaded Smith to find out the truth.Until that day, news came from the confidant who ordered him to deploy manpower to secretly protect the young man that Smith was killed, which finally confirmed the ominous premonition in his heart.

"what happened?"

Although at the beginning of joining the gang, Hans followed him like a brother because of his adoptive father's instruction.But for him who rarely travels on business, this time he stumbled, and his tone was inevitably dignified.The man on the other end of the phone was also very guilty: "I was negligent."

Due to their sensitive identities, Smith cannot be made aware of their existence.Therefore, the escort is also cautious.On that day, the young man was driving back to the apartment and was rear-ended on the way. He also thought it was an ordinary accident, and he just waited for the police to come and deal with it.However, when the young man was arguing with the car owner who smelled of alcohol and seemed to be driving drunk, an African-American young man took advantage of his unpreparedness and snatched his laptop from the open car door.If it is ordinary property, if you lose it, you will lose it.But Xu Shi's vital belongings immediately left the owner of the car behind and rushed to catch up.When the people arranged by Hans came to their senses, and after a lot of trouble, they found Smith near a grocery store in the slums. He had already been stabbed several times and fell unconscious in a pool of blood.

"The African-American youth who robbed the computer was also found dead in an abandoned factory."

Because of the illegal possession of guns in the slums, it is commonplace.Unequal distribution of loot, black eating black, is not uncommon in the three-way zone.Therefore, under the circumstances that the crime scene was in a blind spot of monitoring and there was little evidence, the police finally closed the case with robbery and murder.Even though he knew that this matter was not easy, there must be something wrong with him, but Zong Xiao, who had nothing to do with it on the surface, could only helplessly let the black hand get away with it.On the day of the young man's burial, he also stood side by side with Situ who had heard the news. Under the torrential rain, he stared at the group of relatives who stood solemnly, weeping silently.His eyes were like stagnant water, calm and without waves.It wasn't until the relatives and friends of the young man left one after another that he slowly walked to the tomb and stood there for a long time.

"There should be no reservations."

If he had told his parents what happened back then, Smith might have had some scruples and would not have been so lonely.When Situ hesitated to speak, he comforted Smith's death because it touched the core interests of the political party and had nothing to do with him.Still shook his head, feeling guilty.

"This account is recorded together."

As for how to seek justice, Zong Xiao closed his eyes: "Ten days later, the final election within the party will be decided."

Although the opponent is strong.In terms of popularity, Starling is not as good as another candidate whose campaign platform is relatively close to the people.But power politics has never been based on the people.The super-representative system jointly elected by the elites through negotiation is also doomed to be even better with an important political figure behind the Governor of M State.

"Gameon."
