Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 149: Taking shelter from the limelight

At this moment, there is a lot of traffic on the road from the airport to CC city, and the driving speed is quite slow. From the perspective of an alien's reaction ability, driving on this road will only feel boring.

So for Gao Lian, there was no pressure in talking and driving at the same time.

The head of the Northeast Region, having just finished discussing the influence of the old Heavenly Master, continued, "Let's not talk about Mr. Lu Jin, but only about the young people..."

"That 'Yun', as well as Zhang Chulan, Zhang Lingyu, Lu Linglong, and others, all made a good appearance in the circle this time."

"Of course, there's also you. I'd better just call you Xiao Ke, otherwise it would seem too distant."

After seeing Liu Ke nod in agreement through the rearview mirror, Gao Lian continued, "Those scoundrels of Quan Xing's, even though they've fallen flat on their face, they have no shame at all. They've just publicized everything they've done."

"And the fact that you, Xiao Ke, sent Monk Gao Ning to the west and cut off Shen Chong's arm has now been put on the table of the Jianghu."

After saying this, Gao Lian's expression became slightly more serious. He said, "You were able to kill that evil monk Yongjue, which shows that you are a good kid with some skills. But recently, you still have to be careful."

"There are plenty of crazy people in Quanxing. If you kill or cripple one of their leading figures, I'm afraid they'll come all the way to retaliate against you. And who knows, they might even be some treacherous people."

"That's how it is in our circle. Some people can't handle normal means or direct confrontation with the enemy, so they prefer to play dirty tricks."

Liu Ke nodded when he heard this and said, "I understand, Uncle Gao, I will be careful."

Gao Lian saw that Liu Ke seemed to be receptive to his advice. After a moment's hesitation, he continued, "I heard from Er Zhuang that you had a run-in with Quan Xing when you were working in the North China Region. You showed up in front of that bunch of scoundrels."

"Given the current situation, Huabei might be haunted by Quan Xingchi for some time to come. Why don't you stay in our Northeast for the time being?"

"You've helped Er Zhuang so much. Both our Northeast Region and the Gao family owe you a favor."

"It's hard to say inside the pass, but once we get outside, we'll have to lie down to everyone."

When Liu Ke heard this, he knew that the other party had good intentions. He didn't know how to respond, so he could only look at Gao Yushan.

Seeing his expression, Gao Yushan cleared her throat and said, "Dad, I've made an appointment with him. I'm going to Beijing in a few days to watch a concert at the Bird's Nest."

After hearing this, Gao Lian began to teach him a lesson: "You kid... Xiao Ke is too popular right now. I'm doing this for his own good. I want him to stay out of the spotlight for a while."

"No concert is more important than safety! Besides, I'm not an old fogey. Aren't these concerts always on a recurring basis? You two can stay out of the spotlight and watch the next one."

After hearing this, Gao Yushan glanced at Liu Ke. Seeing that he was still scratching his head, she said, "Alright, alright, Dad, I know you're doing this for his own good. But if it's for safety, I think Beijing is safer for him."

Gao Lian couldn't help but turn around and glance at his daughter after hearing this. He knew his daughter wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was a master of intelligence and information warfare. If she said that, then it was probably true.

After all, Gao Lian knew Er Zhuang's attitude towards the boy in front of him, and there was no reason for him to harm him.

Therefore, he did not ask any further questions, nodded, and said directly: "If the capital city is really safer, then we should return to the capital city."

"After tomorrow's family dinner, Erzhuang, you can bring Xiaoke to play with us for a few days. When it's time to leave, tell me and I'll give you a good farewell."

……

Just like chain stores like KFC, McDonald's, and Mixue have almost uniform employee uniforms and decoration styles.

Nadutong Express, as a semi-state-owned enterprise covering the entire country, was naturally no exception. Aside from the khaki-colored employee uniforms, the decor across all regions was almost identical. Therefore, when Liu Ke and Gao Yushan finally arrived at the Northeast regional branch after nearly an hour's drive…

After getting off the bus, Liu Ke looked up and observed his surroundings, thinking that he was back in the North China area.

When the vendors selling fried chicken legs and cold noodles around him started shouting, Liu Ke realized that this was not Tianjin, where the North China company was located, but the Northeast.

Immediately, Liu Ke calmed down again and looked at the building in front of him, which was almost identical to the North China branch of Nadutong. He really couldn't find any difference.

Seeing his expression, Gao Lian beside him smiled and said, "Looks familiar? Actually, the blueprints for the branches in each region were all designed and distributed by the board of directors, and the structures are indeed similar."

After hearing this, Liu Ke couldn't help scratching his head and said, "Yeah, it's indeed... very familiar. If it weren't for the different vendors at the door, I would have thought this was Tianjin."

Gao Lian nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand, pointed to the company's main door, and said, "Let's go, the food is ready inside."

"As for your luggage, I'll send it directly to the hotel."

Afterwards, Liu Ke and Gao Yushan, under the guidance of Gao Lian, entered the company's office building and went to the cafeteria on the second floor with considerable familiarity.

It was already past six in the afternoon and the cafeteria was already empty. There was only a small table with a few cold dishes and a few sets of bowls and chopsticks. It was obvious that these were prepared for Liu Ke and Gao Yushan.

After Liu Ke and the others were led to the dining table by Gao Lian, they heard the "Uncle with Glasses" call out loudly, "Old Zhu, serve the food!"

After Gao Lian finished his shout, he sat down and said, "Let's have a small bite today and try some special dishes. We'll leave the main course for tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the canteen's special waiter brought the dishes.

The first dish is the Four Happiness Meatballs.

Speaking of which, the quality of this meal was indeed good. In addition to the classic meatball dish, there were three hot dishes, a fish soup, and the staple foods were fried rice and dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut.

When Liu Ke looked at the dishes, he couldn't help but feel hungry, his appetite increased drastically, and his mouth started to water.

Come to think of it, his attitude was quite normal. After all, compared to the dishes before him, the dishes offered at Longhu Mountain a few days ago were a bit too plain.

In Longhu Mountain, the only dishes with some meat were stir-fried cowpeas and stir-fried shredded potatoes, and the staple foods were steamed buns and rice. After a few days, it felt like the fat in my stomach had been scraped off several times.

The fat and water were gone, so naturally they had to be replenished. Liu Ke looked at the dishes in front of him, swallowed his saliva several times, and then saw the "uncle with glasses" next to him let him eat first, so he stopped being "shy" and started to pick up the chopsticks in a whirlwind.

When he ate half of a four-happiness meatball in one bite and the meat with the aroma of tofu rolled in his mouth, Liu Ke suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.

……

After Gao Lian, his daughter, and Liu Ke entered the Nadutong yard, a burly man in black clothes and a baseball cap came to the outside of the company yard and stopped at a cold noodle stall.

A few minutes later, the strong man picked up his portion of hot cold noodles and walked away with big strides.

When they reached a secluded and shady place, the strong man took out his cell phone and started making a call.

"Hello, is this the Master?"
