After more than fifteen years spent chasing criminals, just as success was within reach, he failed. Looking back, his family was ruined, he was betrayed by all, and a bullet pierced his skull. His ...
Lai Hongyi turned around and saw a woman dressed as a waitress standing at the door, calling him.
He asked curiously, "Do you know me?"
"I know you. My name is Song Wen, you can just call me Xiao Wen." The woman smiled broadly and quickly stepped forward, saying, "We've been told long ago that you're a distinguished guest, so they specifically asked me to wait at the door. If you're coming, I'll make sure you feel right at home and that you're completely satisfied."
Lai Hongyi suddenly understood. He looked at the beautiful girls standing in a row around him, greeting different people. They were probably instructed to receive specific guests, not just him.
Judging from the luxury cars coming and going at the door, Lai Hongyi is not a high-ranking VIP.
Song Wen stroked his arm with her palm and said, "Oh, you look much more stylish than in your ID photo. I didn't recognize you at first. Please come in. This way, please."
Now Lai Hongyi had no choice but to be pushed into the hotel reluctantly.
Lai Hongyi believed that he was definitely not a good person, at least not the kind of good person who could be called a moral model in the traditional sense. At the door of the hotel, when he was about to enter, he was still hesitant. Now someone pushed him from behind, and when he entered the door, and everything from getting started to mastering it was done, his moral concerns disappeared.
At the same time, another level of concern arises: if you act recklessly in an unfamiliar place, you might be caught.
But when he entered the hall and saw many people coming in from some unknown spare security door, his concerns disappeared.
He may have interviewed these people before, and they may have spoken at important occasions. The presence of prominent figures here proves that they are also guests of honor of this hotel. Who is a small figure like him? Why bother to collect his black material?
After spending a blissful night there, Lai Hongyi developed a liking for this place.
He said he was on a business trip, but the work aspect was actually quite small; it would be more accurate to say he was here for pleasure. He spent his days eating, drinking, and having fun, not much sightseeing. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but Puzhen, despite its reputation for being a picturesque place, had its most famous scenic spot, Xianshiling, a half-hour drive from town. Once there, it turned out to be nothing more than a slightly odd-looking pile of broken stone, with a mediocre road and no more than the surrounding landscape and facilities.
This also added a little invisible resistance to his work. After all, if he wanted to praise the mountains and rivers, he had to use the dictionary to make up the words.
Fortunately, the organizers here provided him with a car, so he can drive around.
In addition to eating, drinking and having fun, visiting boring attractions one by one, and occasionally writing articles in the hotel, he also likes to flirt with the tourist girl who runs the "weapons shop".
He has a wife and children, but he thinks that as a man, it's inevitable for him to be lustful. It's no big deal to have some fun occasionally and develop an unconstrained relationship.
The industries developed in Pu Town naturally cannot be told to outsiders. It is a paradise for people like Lai Hongyi, but a disaster for women. Even if they do business seriously, it is too boring and dull.
So at first, the girl was impatient with his persistence, but later she was willing to let him in, and let him chatter in her ears like a radio, which was a diversion from her boring life.
We are not so close that we can get along, but we can still be considered friends.
Although the goods she sells don't sound very respectable, and some people criticize her for being a girl doing this kind of business in this era, it is not a bad idea to try another approach.
With a little capital, he made a fortune quietly in an unknown corner on the big stage of Pu Town, and after accumulating a lot of money, he became a real small rich man.
However, Lai Hongyi felt that although she occasionally spoke in a vulgar manner, with a unique air of recklessness that was unique to people in the underworld, when she really got down to work, her speech, behavior and temperament were not like those of an ordinary girl. At the very least, she should not have started from scratch.
The days passed one by one. The original business trip was scheduled for a week, but in the blink of an eye, he finished the manuscript on the penultimate day. He went to You Shenyu's shop to borrow a fax machine and sent the manuscript back to the newspaper headquarters in Wanghai. The boss was very satisfied.
It is worth mentioning that You Shenyu also took a look at the manuscript and gave it a sharp review, saying it represented the highest literary masterpiece he had accumulated to date: "Yes, this article is as shameless as you are."
Lai Hongyi laughed and cursed, thinking it was just a daily quarrel between bad friends.
But You Shenyu was not in high spirits at the time, and even whispered, "With this kind of writing, I don't know how many people will be deceived and how many people will suffer."
He heard it at the time, but acted as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't take it to heart and was too lazy to think about it.
Lai Hongyi knew very well what kind of business this small town was doing under the guise of tourism. It was just a matter of mutual consent, so it was not a big deal.
Besides, he has his own things on his mind, so he has no time to care about other things.
Reporter Lai secretly wrote down the people he met in the hotel, made a list, and used the cover of work to take pictures of the scenery in the name of taking pictures, but in fact he took pictures of several people entering and leaving the hotel.
He always carried the photos with the list and never showed them to anyone. He knew very well that this was a dangerous move and would only bring trouble upon himself, but he needed these photos.
He didn't want to deal with anyone, but he couldn't let anyone take him over. Lai Hongyi had to have something to protect himself. If someone used the traces he left in Puzhen to make a fuss, he would have to have the confidence to tell them, "Even such a big shot did this."
Since his superiors are satisfied, they will reward him with a few more days of paid leave, allowing him to play in Pu Town for a few more days. If nothing unexpected happens, reporter Lai will enjoy himself for a few more days and then leave immediately. After all, no matter how happy he is, he still has a wife at home.
