A jumble of thoughts simultaneously flooded Xu An's mind.
Seeing the bewildered and somewhat helpless look on Xu An's face, Liu Daxi finally nodded in satisfaction.
That's the right reaction!
"However, I felt that we didn't fit in with the Black Swan Hotel's vibe, so I declined."
After Liu Daxi finished speaking, he gave Xu An a look that said, "Praise me!" Xu An's lips twitched involuntarily.
Master Liu is over fifty years old, how come he looks just like Xu Kang and Xu Le?
Having extensive experience in dealing with Xu Kang and Xu Le, Xu An flattered Master Liu, making him so proud that he was practically drooling.
Let's assume Liu Daxi has a tail.
At the Shanghai Machinery and Equipment Expo, the booth of Xinyang Shangchu Technology Co., Ltd. was set up.
Manager Han, who got up early and arrived at the convention center, found that the installers and decorators had not yet arrived, so he could only find a corner to sit and play on his phone.
When I opened QQ, I saw the boy I added yesterday, and I remembered that I had taken some photos of the installed equipment and wanted to send them to him, but I was too busy and forgot.
However, it's not too late to post it now.
Manager Han opened Xu An's chat window and sent him the five photos he had taken.
The equipment was installed yesterday; it can be tested once all the equipment is installed.
Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
Having just finished discussing the poaching of employees from the Black Swan Hotel with Liu Daxi, Xu An returned to the cashier's counter and saw the photos sent by Uncle Han.
Xu An casually loaded the image, zoomed in, and carefully examined the equipment in the photo.
These devices look similar to those in the brochure, except that their sheen isn't as bright as in the brochure.
"That's really great. If the functions are exactly as described in the brochure, that would be amazing."
Just as Xu An was flipping through the third photo, he caught a glimpse of red in the corner of the photo out of the corner of his eye.
It was a stairwell behind the fire door. The lights were off, and most of the windows were blocked by something, making it look very dark and inconspicuous.
This is?
Driven by curiosity, Xu An zoomed in on that corner of the picture, then zoomed in again, and then zoomed in even more.
When zoomed in to the maximum, he saw two figures in the shadows. One of them was quite familiar; it was the Black Swan Hotel manager he had seen just yesterday, who had sat next to him during the bidding process!
The figure opposite was completely unfamiliar. It was clear that she was a young woman, and her general appearance was also visible.
But Xu An was certain that he had never seen this person in either of his two lifetimes, not even in the way of passing by him.
Finally, Xu An's gaze fell on the red dot located between the two of them. As soon as his gaze touched it, the expression on Xu An's face became strange.
The way it's being held, its size, its color—it all looks so much like a red 100-yuan bill!
Thinking about what Lu Shengnan told Liu Daxi, Xu An couldn't help but think of a possibility—could this be a bribery scene?
The moment the thought crossed Xu An's mind, he was startled by it.
But deep down, there was also a glimmer of hope: what if this was it? If so, wouldn't I have caught the Black Swan Hotel manager in the act of violating regulations?
The mouse moved across the screen, opened the browser, searched for the Shanghai Machinery Equipment Expo Preparatory Group, and clicked on the third webpage marked 'Official'. Twelve headshots appeared before Xu An's eyes.
This isn't it, this isn't it either, this still isn't it.
When I saw the third to last picture, I finally made eye contact with the figure opposite the manager of the Black Swan Hotel.
"Gao Baolin, female, 27 years old."
Maybe my guess is right!
Exiting the webpage, Xu Anzai carefully examined every corner of the five photos, finally spotting the two figures again in the upper right corner of the fifth photo. This time, the red color appeared in Gao Baolin's hand.
To further confirm his conjecture, Xu An contacted Uncle Han and asked for the specific times the two photos were taken.
The photo of the red light in the man's hand was taken at 3:12:21 PM yesterday, while the red light appeared in the woman's hand at 3:14:03 PM yesterday.
This is solid proof!
Although Xu An was quite excited to discover his opponent's weakness, he quickly calmed down.
I came to this conclusion by combining all the known information, but to others, they were just two ordinary photos.
What if they are father and daughter, and the father spends money on his daughter?
What if the two are relatives? Is this a case of borrowing money from a relative?
just in case
All of the above are possible, and these two images may not play a crucial role.
Then, a scene suddenly flashed through Xu An's mind.
During the bidding process, after she finished answering the staff's questions, the old man suddenly called on someone to ask if she had any questions.
If I remember correctly, the old man called that person Baolin!
Upon closer examination of the old man's expression when he called out names, it seemed to carry a hint of mischief, a touch of mockery, and a hint of disappointment.
All the fragments of memory have matched up, all the clues have been found, and all the evidence points to the same possibility!
Should we report it through the official website, or communicate directly with the elderly person?
Xu An pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened Photoshop, dragged the two photos into the software, and began processing them.
Office of Shanghai Convention and Exhibition Center.
An elderly man and a middle-aged man sat facing each other, drinking tea; it was their leisurely chat before work.
