Humans were lazy, and reality told Gao Qi that no matter how perfect the rules were, they would still be full of loopholes in the face of laziness.
Awakening events had to be recorded in full, but there were too many awakening events now. Slowly, everyone felt that no matter how much they wrote about the awakening events, it was just the same. If there was a report template that could be used for more than 90% of awakening events, then there was no need to get to the bottom of the matter every time.
Therefore, in the end, Gao Qi still chose to live in a happy relationship where everyone was happy, and you were lazy, and I was lazy.
It was one thing to be willing to uphold the rules, but it was another thing to act like he was the only one who was sober when everyone else was drunk and he was the only one who was dedicated to his job.
When he saw Zhang Lin, Gao Qi was once again acting like a cautious student who had just graduated.
Gao Qi still thought of himself as an insignificant person. This was not because he had an inferiority complex, but because his power came too quickly and his status rose too quickly, so he did not realize what position he should be in now.
Zhang Lin stretched out his hand, and Han Ruofeng went up to shake Zhang Lin's hand. He shook it twice and said in a deep voice, "Minister Zhang."
Zhang Lin stretched out his hand toward Huang Fei. When he shook Huang Fei's hand, he patted Huang Fei's arm and said with a kind expression, "Ah Fei, you've worked hard today. I must drink a few more glasses with you tonight. Alcohol is food. The more you drink, the younger you get. Haha."
Gao Qi stood behind Huang Fei. He did not think of shaking hands with Zhang Lin because in his opinion, Zhang Lin should shake hands with Han Ruofeng and Huang Fei. It was a show of respect for the wise, or a show of intimacy between business partners. However, he was just a small soldier, and Zhang Lin had no reason to shake hands with him.
However, Gao Qi soon realized that he was wrong. Furthermore, he was ridiculously wrong.
Zhang Lin actually walked past Huang Fei and took two steps forward. He even reached out his hand.
Gao Qi held Zhang Lin's right hand, and then Zhang Lin put his left hand on Gao Qi's right hand. Zhang Lin even bowed slightly and said, "Chief Gao, thank you for your hard work today."
Gao Qi was a little surprised, so he quickly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Zhang Lin gestured for Gao Qi to sit down at the round table. The seat he asked Gao Qi to sit in was the seat of honor.
"I heard from Ah Fei that you really like the dishes at Octagon Restaurant, so I'll arrange for you to stay here."
After that, Zhang Lin said to his assistant, "Keep a lookout outside. Don't let any random people come in."
Now there were only four people in the room.
Zhang Lin raised his wine glass, which was full of white wine. He said heroically, "Come, to celebrate our victory, cheers!"
Zhang Lin drank at least two ounces of white wine in one gulp. Gao Qi took a sip and felt that it was bitter and spicy and hard to swallow. At this moment, Zhang Lin looked at his expression and immediately said, "Little Gao, you don't drink white wine, right? Then you can do whatever you want. Do you want to change your wine? "
Gao Qi didn't know table etiquette. It wasn't that he didn't know it at all, but he didn't have many chances to drink. He only knew about it from books, so he definitely couldn't understand the strange but seemingly important rules at the table.
However, Gao Qi knew that he definitely couldn't do something like that. Therefore, Zhang Lin's simple and seemingly casual action and sentence let Gao Qi understand Zhang Lin's attitude tonight.
Zhang Lin's attitude was absolutely low, so low that it couldn't be said that he was courteous to the wise.
They didn't look at each other because there was no need to. However, Gao Qi and the other two all knew that some benefits didn't need to be fought for openly or secretly. Zhang Lin would offer them with both hands.
As for Gao Qi, at the table tonight, he began to enjoy the courtesy that a strong person should have.
"Minister Zhang, then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll change my beer. Otherwise, we won't be able to talk about serious matters tonight."
"Change, it's all ready. I'll pour it for you …"
After personally pouring Gao Qi a glass of beer, Zhang Lin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Eat, eat. Don't be in a daze. There are no outsiders tonight. We're all brothers, so why are you being so polite?"
After five rounds of dishes and three rounds of wine, according to tradition, it was time to talk about serious matters.
Zhang Lin put down his chopsticks and said with a sigh, "Oh, I really didn't expect that today would come. I have to thank the three of you for being willing to help me. I won't say anything unnecessary. First, I'll give you a toast."
Zhang Lin, who was already a little tipsy, picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp. After putting down the glass, he looked at Han Ruofeng calmly and said, "Ruofeng, do you think the conditions offered by the speaker and Minister Qi are acceptable?"
Han Ruofeng said softly, "Most of the conditions are acceptable, but the share of the genetic modification fluid can still be discussed. It mainly depends on whether you are willing or not."
Zhang Lin laughed and said, "What's there to say? I'm already very satisfied that I can get ten portions. However, Ah Fei will soon become the son-in-law of the Qi family. Xiao Gao will amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. You, Han Ruofeng, will be the leader of the espers in Morning and Night City in the future. How can I take all ten portions of the genetic modification fluid?"
After speaking frankly and straightforwardly, Zhang Lin immediately said, "So, ten portions of the genetic modification fluid for the four of us is a little too little. I think twenty portions should be given. The four of us should each have five portions. That's more like it."
Although genetic warriors had extremely high requirements for physical fitness, and not everyone could be transformed into a genetic warrior. However, even if he couldn't use it himself, he could at least give it to his own people.
In this day and age, if he didn't have truly reliable and strong subordinates, he wouldn't deserve to be a big shot.
Therefore, Zhang Lin's conditions could be said to be generous. He completely regarded the three esper giants as equal partners. He regarded himself as a member of the four-man gang, not the leader.
With this awareness, it would be much easier to deal with them in the future.
At this time, Han Ruofeng immediately said, "Minister, you're too polite."
Huang Fei said casually, "That's right. You have the nerve to say that. How can you share with us equally? Isn't that slapping our faces? Minister, you'll get ten portions. As for the three of us, we'll each get five portions."
These words were appropriate for Huang Fei to say. Everyone was well aware that there was no need to try it out. Therefore, Zhang Lin immediately said, "But twenty-five portions isn't easy to handle."
Huang Fei waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's easy. Don't forget my wife. She said that in order to divide the four of us, to divide us or to drive a wedge between us, the chairman and Minister Qi will definitely be willing to take out more genetic modification fluid. Haha, how can they divide the four of us? Hey, A Screwdriver, what do you mean by divide us? "
Huang Fei was in charge of playing dumb, but in order to get to the bottom of the matter, Gao Qi was in charge of answering Huang Fei's questions and knocking down the nail in his foot while he was at it.
"Fei Ge, divide us means divide us and rope us in. It means to make us fight among ourselves. That way, the four of us won't be able to threaten … right? You know what I mean, right?" Zhang Lin sighed.
"Aiya, Little Gao may be young, but he has great foresight. Heroes indeed come from the young, and the new generation excels the old. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. There's no point in talking too much. Let me give you a toast."
After waiting for Zhang Lin and Gao Qi to finish their drinks, Han Ruofeng said with a serious face, "Minister, since we've come to this point, I'll also say a few words. I've worked under you for many years, so you should know me well. I'm not the kind of person who gets carried away. You also know Ah Fei and A Screwdriver. They're definitely not ungrateful people. In the future, there will definitely be people who want to play tricks on us, but our Danger Control Department will definitely be as strong as an iron plate!"
Huang Fei said loudly, "Yes! Boss Han's words are my words. Even though I'm marrying Qi Feifei, I'm definitely a member of our Danger Control Department. "
Gao Qi also said firmly, "Whatever Boss Han and Fei Ge ask me to do, I'll do it!"
Zhang Lin slammed the table and said loudly, "Well said! I really didn't misjudge you. Brothers, as long as we're of one mind, there will be a place for us in this city. Since you all understand this, I won't say anything else. We'll continue the discussion tomorrow! I want 25 servings, not one less! "
It was hard to say how much sincerity there was among the people at the table. It was also hard to say how solid this alliance was. But no matter what, this offensive and defensive alliance had been decided. Moreover, the status and right to speak had also been decided.
