Chapter 20 Chapter Nineteen

It is said that Yan Zhili accepted Ye Han's task and went to Lisbon, Portugal with his wife to inquire about bidding for gambling licenses.Going abroad with his wife is the most uncomfortable thing for a romantic "playboy", but this time he has no complaints.I'm afraid only he himself knows best about the ups and downs. The couple soaked in the hot tub, talking while relieving the fatigue of the journey. He Lili held back her words along the way, but her husband never gave her a chance to speak. At this moment, she couldn't bear it any longer, and grabbed a piece of soap foam with her hand and threw it at her husband: "Zhili, this time the sun is coming from the west. Come out, you brought me out, did you do something wrong to atone for me again!"

"Lili, where have you been talking about, we old husband and wife, what sins are worth atonement for!" "Don't hold back, it's been rumored outside that you have affairs with dozens of women, you put on this big pile of green hats for me, and you deliberately deceive me!" He Lili said, shedding tears of grievance. Yan Zhili held her in his arms: "Lili, don't believe the rumors outside, others are deliberately destroying our relationship as husband and wife. I'm in the business field, how can I not have a girlfriend? I bet, I and all the women It's normal for friends to interact with each other, and I never did anything to be sorry for you!"

He Lili cried with a "wow": "You have no conscience, you are really good with many women! You said you didn't do anything to offend me, there are many flirtatious women outside, and I'm not around, who can prove it?!" Yan Zhili pointed to his chest: "My conscience can prove it. I admit that there are many sassy women who have bad intentions towards me. This proves that your husband is very good, but I have not been defiled by them, and I have always maintained for you. Innocent! Don't talk about this, Lili, do you know why I brought you out this time?"

"How do I know!" He Lili wiped her tears with her hands, not wanting the soap bubbles to seep into her eyes, so she burst into tears and said, "You must have done something to hurt me, and you must have found a place like this to apologize to me; if it wasn't for the purpose of being with someone A date with a Portuguese woman!" Yan Zhi washed his wife's eyes with clean water, and persuaded: "You are so stupid, I dare to take you with me on a date with a woman—" "Ah? It turns out that you are dating women if you don't bring me by your side. You finally admitted it yourself!" He Lili turned pale, and pinched her husband's ear with her hands.

"Ma'am, don't, don't be like this," Yan Zhili tilted his head and said, "Just put it down, I really have good news for you." "I won't let you go, it's really good news that I'll let you go!" "Okay, I say. Ma'am, we've got another chance to make a fortune!" "Is the stock going up again?" "No, someone invited me to bid for a Macau gambling license." "It's Ye Han?" He Lili let go of her hand. "Yes," Yan Zhili rubbed his sore ear, "he arranged to come to Lisbon this time." Yan Zhili then recounted the cooperation with Ye Han from the beginning.

He Lili asked, "You agree?" "Of course I don't refuse such a beautiful thing." He Lili frowned and said: "But you don't know how to gamble. You say that there are no fathers and sons in the gambling field. Besides, Ye Han is just your friend. He was born as a gambler with great skills. What if he plays with you?" Yan Zhili nodded: "I know husband Mo Ruo's wife, that's what I'm worried about. Should I just reject him?" He Lili curled her lips and said, "All of you have come to Lisbon, and you still say this to coax me. Tell me what you have in mind, and we will add up."

Yan Zhili said earnestly: "With Ye Han as a partner, I don't have much time to take care of things directly. When the casino makes a profit, I will take a lot of bonuses. It's fine for a short time. If it's like this for a long time, he will contribute a lot. If he wants to force me to withdraw my shares, he will run it alone—" "It's not 'maybe', but 'definitely'." He Lili interrupted Yan Zhili's words. "So, after much deliberation, I prepared to bring Ming Gao in, so that if two forces deal with Ye Han alone, he won't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts."

"Of course it's good, but Ye Han will agree?" Yan Zhili bit his lip, stared at the ceiling, and said after a long time: "I still have to figure out a way..." The couple had just gone to bed, when the doorbell rang, Yan Zhili kissed his wife goodbye, tightened his pajamas belt and slipped on his slippers to open the door. Just as the door opened a crack, a gorgeous woman's face squeezed in. The passionate Yan Zhili felt numb and opened his mouth... "Zhili, it's so late, who is calling the door?" He Lili asked lazily under the covers. "No, no one..." Yan Zhili hurriedly withdrew his tongue and said, "Well, it's probably the waiter."

"Waiter? Is it a man or a woman?" He Lili raised her head halfway. "Of course it's a man!" Yan Zhili winked at the girl. "Oh, I hate it..." He Lili lay down again. Yan Zhili's passion that had just retreated suddenly returned, took a deep breath, and opened his arms to the girl.This woman is a hotel girl who makes a living selling sex.As soon as Yan Zhili stepped into the door of this hotel, the two made eye contact.Yan Zhili is quite talented in this respect.When checking in the room, he left his room number on a small piece of paper on the service desk while his wife was counting the money, and swept it on the carpet with his hands. coming.

After the first round, the girl pushed Yan Zhili away and said in fluent English, "Sir, may I come into your room?" Yan Zhili shook his head, pointed inside: "My wife." The woman glared at Yan Zhili angrily, and cursed in English: "Rogue!" He Lili heard what she didn't want a girl to say, and in an instant, the instinctive jealousy of a woman to defend her own interests made her tired, and she got up straight... Yan Zhili heard his wife's footsteps, and begged for help to the girl to go away.The girl gave him a contemptuous smile, crossed her arms and waited intentionally for He Lili to come out, as if challenging her.

He Lili looked at the girl hostilely, and asked Yan Zhili, "Didn't you say that the person who rang the doorbell was a man?" At this time, Yan Zhili had been completely conquered by the girl, and his wit and talent could always be displayed to the fullest in front of the woman he liked. He said, "Yes, she came just after that man left." Yan Zhili's calmness made He Lili dare not suspect that he had acted out of line. She put her hands on her hips and shouted at the woman: "What are you doing here? Sassy woman, get out!" Yan Zhili thought it was over. If the girl announced what she just said in front of his wife...who would have thought, the girl didn't do that. She gave He Lili a glance, turned around and spat on Yan Zhili's face, and scolded: "Who cares about this kind of thing?" Stinky man!" Looking at the back of the girl leaving, Yan Zhili felt the saliva on his face like a power source, stimulating his cheeks and making him excited... When He Lili wiped it away for him, a kind of indescribable disappointment and melancholy rushed into his heart immediately ... It was already midnight, the girl occupied Yan Zhili's heart, his biological clock was out of action, making him sleepless at all.When his wife was snorting evenly in a deep sleep, Yan Zhili quietly got up again, tiptoed to the door with his slippers on, and subconsciously glanced at He Lili on the bed from time to time. At this moment, Yan Zhili has always had a fantasy in his mind: the girl is still waiting for him outside the door... Driven by this fantasy, Yan Zhili walked to the door by accident. Sure enough, there was the sound of light footsteps... The feeling of this moment is wonderful, Yan Zhili can be said to have enjoyed tenderness in this life, and there are hundreds of women who have slept with him, but it is the first time to have an affair under the eyes of his wife... He secretly thanked Ye Han for giving him the opportunity to experience this kind of life! There is a sleeping wife on the bed, and outside the door is a beautiful girl whom I just met—but I don’t know her name. At the moment when the door is about to be opened, surprise and joy, desire and fear appear at the same time, pushing the beauty of cheating to the fore. The best situation...Yan Zhili felt his throat dry for a while, and the electric current surging all over his body seemed to be evaporating the water in his body...In short, he spent a lot of effort to open this door—I thought there would be excitement When the scene appeared, when he opened the door and saw a figure of a man in front of him, Yan Zhili lost his appetite and called him unlucky. Went back to the room without a word.The next day, Yan Zhili left his wife to rest at the hotel, and planned to go to the overseas department alone to inquire about news.In doing so, he hoped to run into the woman from last night. He had this hunch that he would have an unforgettable experience with that girl. He paid special attention in the hotel, until he got outside the gate, that kind of possibility would no longer exist, then he stopped a taxi and lazily said in Portuguese: "Overseas Department." The taxi merged into the traffic flow, and was galloping on the road. After an unknown amount of time, the driver braked suddenly, and Yan Zhili still asked lazily, "Are you there?" "It's still early, didn't you see the red light ahead?" the driver said impatiently. Just at this moment, a taxi stopped with a "crack" on his right side.From the window pane, a familiar beautiful face poked out and said in fluent English, "Hey, henpecked man, where are you going?" Yan Zhili couldn't adapt to this kind of overjoyed for a while, rolled down the glass window, looked at the other person with burning eyes, and couldn't say a word... Girls are naturally prepared.She stretched her neck, closed her eyes happily, and opened her small cherry mouth slightly... Yan Zhili quickly recovered his instinctive blood, took a bite of the small cherry, and began to suck hungrily... When the green light came on, the driver yelled, "Let's drive!" At this moment, if the driver is willing to accommodate, even if he gives 10,000 yuan per second, Yan Zhili is willing to pay... The taxi started ruthlessly, and Yan Zhili suddenly had an idea in his desperation, and loudly said to the driver: "Stop, please stop !" "Didn't you see that there is no bus stop here!" the driver muttered after calling, "Lustful and desperate man!" The car stopped at a stop, and Yan Zhili threw 100 Portuguese coins to the driver. Just as he got out of the car, the car carrying the girl had already sped away. "Stop, stop—" Yan Zhili waved his hand and chased after for a while. When he was extremely frustrated, the girl stopped at the opposite parking lot and waved to him, calling him a "henpecked man". In the middle is the constant flow of traffic, Yan Zhili wants to pass but can't.At this moment, he wished he could grow wings and fly over there... He waited anxiously for more than ten minutes, and finally waited until the red light in front of him turned on, Yan Zhili walked through the street full of vehicles, and finally hugged the girl... After a burst of warm hugs and kisses, the two got into the same taxi, and the girl asked, "Where are you going?" "National Overseas Department, what about you?" "Whatever." After stopping for a while, seeing Yan Zhili begging her, he said to the driver, "Let's go to the Overseas Department." When the car started, Yan Zhili took her into his arms and asked, "Can you tell me her name?" "Annie." "Annie," Yan Zhili murmured, "What a beautiful name, a person is more beautiful than a name. You are the first Portuguese girl I know." Annani smiled "puchi", and pointed at Yan Zhili with her delicate pink fingers. "Why are you laughing, don't you believe me?" "Of course I believe you. I was laughing at the newspaper. The newspaper said that Mr. Yan would say this every time he met a woman—" "You know me?" Yan Zhili looked at Anani in surprise, "Why don't I know you?" Annani stopped laughing, and said seriously: "Mr. Yan, you are really forgetful. Didn't you just steal the limelight in Agippe, Mexico? I knew you from the newspapers. How many women like me are there in the world? falling for you..." Yan Zhili suddenly realized, and sighed: "It seems that the money I spent in Ajipei was not in vain. It is equivalent to an advertisement for myself in the whole world. It's a pity that there are too many beautiful women in the world, and I have too little time. Too few... I really wish that all the beautiful and charming girls in the world would have sex with me..." With women, time is always easy to pass, the Portuguese Overseas Department soon arrived, got out of the car, Yan Zhili hesitated again.So far, although he knows that the approval of the Macau gaming franchise is in charge of the Overseas Department, he does not know anyone in this department. Annani seemed to see what he was thinking, and asked, "Mr. Ye wants to find an acquaintance?" Yan Zhili reacted, and hurriedly said: "Yes. However, the acquaintances I found don't have a deep friendship with me. Is there anyone more familiar with Ms. Nani?" Annani smiled, nodded and said, "There is one. However, he is not the main person in charge, so he was transferred here." "That's enough, what's his name?" "Bai Lijue." Yan Zhili was taken aback: "Could it be Bai Lijue, the former governor of Macau?" "Yes, you know him?" Yan Zhili shook his head: "I don't know, forget it, come back another day. Tonight, after my wife is asleep..." Annie was about to answer when she noticed two people walking out of the gate.Annani hurriedly said to Yan Zhili: "Look, Bai Li has noticed it, do you want to know him?" Yan Zhili knew Bai Lijue, but luckily Bai Lijue didn't know him. He stopped Annie softly, and suddenly found that the bearded man walking with Bai Lijue was very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere... The bearded man also recognized Yan Zhili, quickly turned his head to the side, and got into a taxi that had just stopped. The taxi emitted a puff of black smoke and departed.Annie, who came to her senses, cried out: "Mr. Yan, I know that man just now. He lives across from you. I came to look for you last night and found him at your door..." Yan Zhili's heart went "stuck", and he felt cold for a while. He didn't expect so many strange things to happen during the trip to Lisbon. Back at the hotel, Yan Zhili recalled the bearded man he met overseas, and felt more and more strange. Suddenly, he finally understood something, and said to his wife: "Lili, the door is the person Gao Kening sent to spy on us. Our actions have been discovered, what do you say should we deal with it?" He Lili was also taken aback, and blurted out: "See through him!" Yan Zhili didn't say anything, got up and opened the door, and rang the doorbell on the opposite side. The "bearded man" inside thought it was the waiter looking for him, but when he found out it was Yan Zhili, he closed the door and said in English, "Sir, you have found the wrong door, I don't know you!" Yan Zhili forced his way in, sneering: "Qiu Old Six, you don’t know me, but I know you even after you’ve been burned to ashes!” Seeing that the trick had been seen through, Qiu Lao Liu had no choice but to invite Yan Zhili into the room, and the two sides were silent for a long time with their own concerns. Qiu Lao Liu suddenly asked: "Mr. Yan, would you like to cooperate with our boss Gao?" Yan Zhili had already expected this move, and nodded obediently in order to find out the truth. Qiu Laoliu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Boss Gao gave me a special order before leaving the house. Taixing Company is willing to cooperate with everyone as long as it can prevent Ye Han from getting the gambling cards." "How to cooperate specifically?" Yan Zhili asked further. "Of course it's a 'three-three' share split. You, Gao Kening and Fu Jiye each have a share." "Can words count?" "I'll call right away, as long as Mr. Yan is sincere, you can talk to our boss Gao directly!" As he said, he really wanted to make a long-distance call to Macau. "No need." Yan Zhili stopped Qiu Lao Liu, "For such an important matter, it's best to go back to Australia and discuss it face-to-face. By the way, why are you going to the Overseas Department to find Bai Lijue today?" "For Ye Han." "For Ye Han? What do you mean?" Yan Zhili frowned. Qiu Laoliu sneered: "Mr. Yan can't be so confused. Governor Bai did a good job in Macau, but because of Ye Han's letter of complaint to Lisbon, he returned to Portugal in despair." Yan Zhili finally understood, nodded and said, "It turns out that you are conspiring to deal with Ye Han." "Yes." Qiu Lao Liu looked at Yan Zhili, "Mr. Bai hates Ye Han to the core. In order to get revenge, he tried his best to get a job in the overseas department, in order to directly decide the terms of the Macau gambling license, and do everything possible to prevent Ye Han The plan worked." Yan Zhili also stared at Qiu Lao Liu, and suddenly asked: "You also hate Ye Han?" Qiu Lao Liu lowered his head: "I neither hate nor like it." "Then why did you do everything possible to prevent him from bidding?" Qiu Lao Liu hesitated to speak. Yan Zhili said calmly: "As far as I know, you and Ye Han have never had any quarrels. Even if there is a festival, it is just a small problem. I remember that when he came back from Shanghai, you still spoke good words for him in front of Fu Laorong, and you went to Jiangmen personally. Pick him up, why did you mess with him the last time he bid for a gambling card? Still refuse to let go?" Qiu Lao Liu avoided Yan Zhili's gaze and remained silent. Yan Zhili felt that he was asking too urgently, so he changed to a calm tone: "Did Gao Kening give you a lot of benefits?" "Are these important?" Yan Zhili shook his head: "It's not very important. But if I know more about the conflicts between you, I can know what to pay attention to and what to avoid when I get along with Gao Kening and Fu Jiye in the future." Only then did Qiu Laoliu say: "In this life, Ye Han and I really didn't have a big feud. As early as 30 years ago, we worked as dealers under Lu Jiu with him, and our relationship was very harmonious. Until the separation of Shanghai, we have always been friends. Very good friend... I was the one who felt sorry for him in Shanghai, and I was always uneasy. Therefore, when he was down and down, I was willing to help... But since he came back from Saigon, he was ambitious to compete with Fu Laorong, my heart said Nothing can calm down... It is difficult for people who have not experienced such a thing to understand this feeling, Mr. Yan, what would you think if you were in my situation, the same people, working together since childhood, no matter what aspect We have always been on the same level, we are so familiar with each other, how would you feel if someone else suddenly became prosperous one day? Really, I have no idea who can hold the gambling card except Ye Han, but he can’t. If he Ascend to the throne of Macau Gambling King, I will never be balanced in this life..." Hearing this, Yan Zhili felt a sour feeling in his heart. People, living in the world, seem to be looking for "balance" throughout the whole process. Therefore, there is no intention of condemning Qiu Lao Liu's thoughts. "Mr. Yan, after listening to my confession, do you think I'm bad?" Qiu Lao Liu said while clutching his chest, "But I'm not a bad person. The sky is above and the earth is below. I, Qiu Lao Liu, still have a conscience. If Ye Han is very poor now, and it is best if he has no food to eat. I am willing to help him. If I have a mouthful of dry food, I can’t give him food. Really, I can do this, but I don’t want him to be much stronger than me... ..." "Human is the most complicated and strange thing." Yan Zhili suddenly came to such a conclusion after listening to Qiu Lao Liu's spiritual confession. In order to lighten the atmosphere, Yan Zhili smiled and said, "If I were your third boss, would you be unbalanced?" "No, no, no!" Qiu Lao Liu repeatedly waved his hands, "Although we knew each other before, we never worked together, and your father-in-law turned out to be a billionaire, so I have no reason to be jealous of you. What's more, you Joining Taixing Company can make Ye Han's "gambling king" dream shattered. We are colleagues on the same front. By the way, Mr. Yan, you are called a "smart star" in the world. What clever plan do you have to make Taixing Company Defeat Ye Han?" "Don't you have a trump card, why don't you use Bai Lijue to attack Ye Han?" Qiu Laoliu sighed: "Just now I talked about this issue with Bai Lijue. What worries him the most is that the report of Ye Han's impeachment in the past has aroused the government's great attention. If he starts from the front, he will leave an excuse of 'retaliation' .” Yan Zhili thought for a while, and reminded: "Under reasonable conditions, can the Overseas Department add or delete relevant clauses in the plan submitted by Ma Jishi?" Well, but, how can I have this ability, by the way, Mr. Yan, can you..." Yan Zhili swallowed: "Of course I can come up with a clause that puts Ye Han to death, but in case Gao Kening him..." Qiu Lao Liu shook his head again and again: "No, no. Gao Kening, Bai Lijue, and Fu Jiye, their common enemy is Ye Han. If you can help us eradicate Ye Han, everyone will remember you for your hard work!" Yan Zhili swallowed his saliva again, attached Qiu Lao Liu's ear, and ordered so and so. Qiu Laoliu was overjoyed, and stretched out his thumb and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! It's really wonderful! This time Ye Han is dead, I'll tell Bai Lijue immediately!" Seeing that Qiu Lao Liu was really going to the Overseas Department, Yan Zhili got up and went back to his room, and told He Lili everything he had said to Qiu Lao Liu. He Lili asked: "Do you really want to partner with Gao Kening?" Yan Zhili sighed: "Ye Han has made too many enemies. If he is with him, he will become the target of public criticism. However, it is not the best strategy to partner with Gao Kening." He Lili said displeased: "You don't cooperate with Ye Han, and you don't cooperate with Gao Kening, then what do you want to do?" "The mountain people have their own tricks!" Yan Zhili said proudly, "Come here, I'll tell you!" He Lili listened to it, she was overjoyed when she heard it, and then worried: "Can this be done?" Yan Zhili said to himself: "Just wait and see, it won't be long before the one I proposed will be included in the Macau gambling license bidding regulations!" Two days later, Qiu Laoliu told Yan Zhili that the article he proposed had been formally written into the regulations and sent to Macau by urgent telegram, and then he happily flew back to Macau. Yan Zhili was infatuated with Annani, and stayed in Lisbon for two more days, but had to part due to time constraints.When they broke up, he asked Anani to leave him his mailing address, and said to her with infinite attachment: "For my 60th birthday, I will gather all the girlfriends in the world together again - you are also invited, I hope you can Bring your husband and children with you!" Annani closed her eyes happily, and murmured: "From now on, I will wholeheartedly wait for that day to come..." Yan Zhili owed another romantic debt in Portugal, and left with a slap on his ass. Yan Zhili flew back to Macau and knew that Ye Han was waiting impatiently, so he stayed in a very inconspicuous hotel and immediately called Ye Han to make an appointment. When they met, Yan Zhili closed the door.Ye Han had a premonition from his behavior, and asked anxiously: "Is it because Gao Kening and Bai Lijue are messing with me in Lisbon?" Yan Zhili asked in surprise, "How do you know?" "Why can't I know?" Ye Han looked directly at Yan Zhili and asked. Yan Zhili's face was hot, and he avoided Ye Han's gaze: "You know things like a god, of course you should know." Ye Han withdrew his gaze: "I'm sorry, I'm actually not Zhuge Liang. Before sending you to Lisbon, Ma Jishi had already reminded me." "How did he remind you?" Yan Zhili finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Once, I was talking with him about the next gambling bidding. Because I was overconfident, he said that I didn't understand the inside story of Portuguese politics, and then suggested that I find a partner... At that time, I had a hunch Now, there must be some kind of mystery that is not good for me. Li, tell me, what happened in Lisbon?" In order to make the atmosphere realistic and prevent Ye Han from seeing any flaws, Yan Zhili deliberately hesitated to speak. After repeated urging by Ye Han, he said in a heavy tone: "Mr. Ye, you have to hold back when you say it... I would rather send Qiu Lao Liu to Lisbon..." Ye Han was startled: "What happened to Lisbon?" "And Bai Lijue to study the plan to deal with you." Yan Zhili saw that Ye Han would no longer doubt it, and said bluntly: "Bai Lijue deliberately worked in the overseas department for revenge. The bidder must be an official citizen of Portugal..." Ye Han choked up, and it took a long time to ask sadly: "Have you adopted this suggestion?" Yan Zhili nodded: "Bai Lijue's suggestion is well-founded. He said that foreigners should be allowed to hold gambling licenses. In case of poor management, the casino collapses and they can walk on their asses. The Macau government suffers in vain. Therefore, this suggestion is officially adopted." Ye Han blurted out: "Gao Kening is not a Portuguese citizen either, can he participate in the bidding?" "Yes." Yan Zhili said, "Bai Lijue added another item: the original licensee, a foreigner with a fixed property of more than 60 million in Macau or Portugal, can participate in the bidding on the premise of signing a mortgage letter." Ye Han was stunned, these two items were aimed at him.
