Chapter 784 Zhou Peng's Information
"Hey brother!" Zhou Peng took two steps forward and gave Du Fei a bear hug.
Du Fei also patted him on the back: "Brother Zhou, I really didn't expect to meet again so soon."
Zhou Peng laughed and said, "Yes! I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! Last time I thought I wouldn't see each other again in three or five years, but I didn't expect... Life is so impermanent!"
Du Fei said: "Who says it's not! Seeing you like this, it's pretty easy to be a door-to-door son-in-law?"
Zhou Peng curled his lips, disapprovingly, but lowered his voice: "Some people~ I don't know where the sense of superiority comes from. They treat them as second-class citizens and still feel good about themselves. What the hell..."
Du Fei could hear the resentment in Zhou Peng's tone, he frowned and said, "What? Someone bullied our buddies?"
Zhou Peng smiled and said, "That's not enough. After all, we are organized people, and we are worthy of those fucking things~ It's just that we can't do without stumbling in the dark."
Then he waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about this when we meet again today, my brother will bring you something good to eat."
After finishing the work, I went up to the second floor and entered a French restaurant.
Zhou Peng is familiar with the road, and he is a regular customer here.
There are no private rooms in the restaurant, only the location of the hall.
After sitting down, Zhou Peng directly made the order without asking for Du Fei's opinion.
After dismissing the waiter, Zhou Peng said with a smile: "Brother, I'll let you have a foreign dish today. If you want to talk about foreign dishes, it's only French. Others... can only fill your stomach."
Du Fei had never eaten particularly high-end French food before traveling, and his understanding of French food was roughly limited to the steak Wellington that often appeared in TV dramas.
However, in Du Fei's view, that thing is just a large patty, and the meat stuffing inside is not cooked yet.
As for the others, it is the foie gras of the Langde goose. It is not easy to forcibly feed a big goose out of fatty liver.
The other is the hard baguette that can be used as a self-defense weapon.
Just got to know each other today.
Next, Du Fei saw the cumbersomeness of French food.
Dishes come up one after another like a revolving lantern. The plate is quite big, just a small amount, and it can be finished in one or two bites.
And then just wait...
After a meal, I ate for more than two hours, and almost half of the time was waiting for the food.
But should I say it or not, there are indeed two dishes that are quite amazing.
A big dish, truffle foie gras, is really delicious.
Another dish that is not a major dish is cheese bread dipped in onion soup, but it is quite brilliant.
After the meal was over, Du Fei was most impressed by these two dishes.
Then he didn't leave the hotel, but rested for a while, and went directly to the sauna.
It stands to reason that it is not suitable to go to the sauna immediately after eating, but this French dish is procrastinated, and it is almost digested after eating.
"How is it? Brother, the bathhouse here is different from our capital!" Zhou Peng was shirtless, with a white bath towel around his waist.
Du Fei smiled. It's not that he has never seen the world. He thought he was a distinguished Cadillac owner before crossing.
Just not familiar with the rules of this era.
After a little rinse, the two head into the sauna.
A dry and hot breath rushed towards the face, mixed with a faint smell of pine wood.
Next to the sauna stone, there is a wooden barrel.
Zhou Peng went up and took a look. There was still half a bucket of water in it, so he scooped out the water with a wooden spoon and poured it on the hot sauna stones.
There was a sudden "stab"!There was a puff of white gas.
The temperature in the sauna room rises rapidly.
Zhou Peng let out a breath, took a step back, and sat down on the wooden bench.
Du Fei also sat down, and it happened that there was no one inside, and the two chatted again.
Zhou Peng talked about his current situation. He is now nominally the general manager of a trading company under the Huo family.
But it has no real power.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this company is an empty shell, which is more convenient for domestic buyers to buy things outside.
The Huo family is the middleman, and Zhou Peng is the representative of Party A, who is responsible for keeping an eye on Party B and not fishing in troubled waters.
Du Fei originally felt that Zhou Peng's background was unusual.
Now it seems that they have underestimated their family's heel.
Although Zhou Peng and his father's positions are not high, since ancient times, one financial right and one personnel affairs have been the most important.
Being able to be sent out to look at the money shows that they are the confidantes.
Now Zhou Peng's function is somewhat similar to that of Cao Xueqin's grandfather.
When Cao Yin was in charge of weaving in the south of the Yangtze River, apart from being in charge of court procurement, his biggest hidden function was to keep an eye on Jiangnan.
After talking about himself, Zhou Peng asked Du Fei why he came to Xiangjiang?
Du Fei didn't hide it either, it wasn't that he trusted Zhou Peng so much, but it was no secret that Du Fei came to the south this time.
The so-called one light and one dark, he and Lin Tiansheng were putting on the pretense of the early Ming Dynasty.
After Zhou Peng heard this, he frowned and said, "Brother, this mission is not easy for you!"
Du Fei asked: "How to say?"
Zhou Peng has been in Xiangjiang for a long time, and he understands the situation here.
When Du Fei came to him this time, besides reminiscing about the past, the most important thing was to inquire about news.
Although Director Liao left a notebook when he left, Du Fei needed more first-hand information.
Zhou Peng glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "The situation in Xiangjiang is very complicated now. The British capital, the Chinese capital, the trade union, our people, and the beautiful land of Sugo are all secretly competing with each other, trying to take advantage of the fire here... ..."
Having said that, he couldn't help shaking his head, and finally spit out the word "difficult".
Du Fei smiled, and was mentally prepared for this situation.
But Du Fei was not so pessimistic.
What Zhou Peng said is correct, there are indeed many forces in Xiangjiang now.
But Su'e and Meidi were there mainly because they were fighting for Yue N, and had nothing to do with Xiangjiang itself.
The only enemies Du Fei really needs to consider are YG.
Moreover, thousands of miles away, with YG's weakened strength, how much strength can be allocated to support Xiangjiang in the face of Jesus Goose and Tiger Vision in Europe?
That's why Du Fei dared to take on this mission.
He was even more daring, and set a big goal with Lin Tiansheng that most people would not even dare to think about.
However, Du Fei didn't beg for nothing to talk to Zhou Peng about this. His real purpose of looking for Zhou Peng was to get news from Zhou Peng, not reverse output.
Sure enough, while the two were talking, Zhou Peng suddenly mentioned: "By the way, there is one person you have to be careful about."
Du Fei wiped the sweat off his face with a towel. The temperature in the sauna room made him uncomfortable, but he didn't want to go out, so he asked, "Who?"
Zhou Peng said seriously: "Vincent Dai Zhilin! The nephew of the current Governor of Hong Kong, Baron Aston of Ireland..."
Du Fei smiled playfully: "Oh? He's still a nobleman."
Zhou Peng also smiled, and continued: "He still has another identity, the permanent staff of the US ZQ Bureau."
Du Fei was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look surprised, this person's identity is complicated enough.
I was a little curious, how did Zhou Peng know, are our comrades already so awesome?
But curiosity is curiosity, Du Fei didn't ask much.
Instead, he asked, "What does this person want to do in Xiangjiang?"
Zhou Peng said: "I don't know, but one thing is certain, he and YG people are not of one mind."
Du Fei let out a "hmm", isn't the nephew of the Governor of Hong Kong and the YG people one mind?This is very interesting.
Zhou Peng explained: "As I said just now, he is the Baron Aston of Ireland. In addition, according to intelligence analysis, we judge that he may still be a member of the new branch d."
Du Fei instantly understood that it was no longer a matter of a day or two for Ireland to have a family separation with the YG people.
If so, it would be no surprise that Vincent joined the zqj of the United States.
"Vincent Dai Zhilin!" Du Fei remembered the name...
It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that Du Fei returned to his hotel in Zhou Peng's car.
Zhu Ting was still awake, she knew that Du Fei was going to see Zhou Peng.
As soon as Du Fei entered the room, Zhu Ting greeted him, not only caring but also concealing worry.
She knows where Xiangjiang is, where it is luxurious and rich, and the atmosphere is open.
In addition, Du Fei went out with Zhou Peng, who is Zhou Peng, and what good place can he go!
Fortunately, Du Fei didn't spend the night outside, otherwise...
But Zhu Ting is not an ordinary woman after all, even though she was a little brooding in her heart, she didn't show it, let alone ask more questions.
She didn't ask, but Du Fei had to tell.
I briefly talked about the itinerary for this afternoon and evening, and mainly talked about the information obtained from Zhou Peng.
After hearing this, Zhu Ting frowned and said, "Is it so complicated? Vincent... Do you think we can use this person?"
Du Fei waved his hand: "I don't have much hope. An enemy's enemy may not always be a friend. But at the right time, I don't mind making contact."
After finishing speaking, he asked again: "Have you started work today?"
Zhu Ting nodded. This time, she was transferred to Xiangjiang New H Agency in name, and today she officially joined the job.
But for those who are really connected, it is not difficult to find out Zhu Ting's identity and the purpose of this visit.
Zhu Ting said again: "By the way, Lin Tiansheng called today and said that things are almost ready, so you have time to go back and have a look."
As soon as Du Fei heard it, he understood that this was an agreement he had made with Lin Tiansheng before he came.
He went to the front to check the situation, while Lin Tiansheng prepared a batch of weapons and equipment in the back.
This is their most important bargaining chip.
Otherwise, in the face of Xinj's family with a big surname, what can they do to impress them.
No one is a fool, with Du Fei's mouth, even if it is worn out, it's useless.
Upon receiving this news, Du Fei couldn't help laughing and said, "Looks like it's time to meet those squires in Xinj."
The next morning.
Even though Zhu Ting went to work temporarily, she had to look good.
Du Fei took Zhang Dabin to Xinj by boat.
Zhang Dabin was another young man who came to pick up Du Fei and Zhu Ting with Secretary Wang that day.
Director Liao took Secretary Wang to Dongyang and left Zhang Dabin to Du Fei for help.
In case Du Fei has just arrived and is unfamiliar with the place, it will be inconvenient to do things.
At this time, the subsea tunnel from Xiangjiang main island to Xinj had not yet been built, and boats were still needed to get there.
Fortunately, it was not far away. After abandoning the ship and landing, Du Fei waited for a while at the exit of the pier, and Zhang Dabing got a car.
The car was an old Ford pickup, and Du Fei couldn't tell what model it was, but it must be quite old.
When it drove over, there was a trail of black smoke behind it, as if the black fur monster had come out of the mountain.
As for how he got it, Du Fei didn't ask, as long as he has a car, he will do.
Then Zhang Dabin drove north along the bumpy road.
At this time, Xinj's infrastructure was almost as small as that in Guangzhou.
It is said to be a road, but it is actually a dirt road. The drive of more than 30 kilometers made Du Fei shaken enough.
It took almost two hours to drive back and forth.
Sheung Shui is still a small village. When a car drove into the village, it immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially a group of children who ran after the car.
Zhang Dabin had obviously been here before, so he didn't ask anyone for directions, and drove the car directly to the gate of the village office.
Du Fei got out of the car, moved his hands and feet, and looked to the side.
It was a more imposing building than the village hall, and it should be the ancestral hall of the village.
Although I was with Zhou Changli before, I didn't have a good time with the Hou family.
But when Du Fei came to Xinj, he still chose to come to Hou's house first.
First of all, because of the way, it is not far to the north from here, and you can return to the mainland by land.
Lin Tiansheng said that the weapons were all ready, and Du Fei had to go back and see for himself.
In addition, the Hou family has connections with Chu Ming after all.
Du Fei had to take care of Chu Ming's face, not to mention the relationship between the Chu family and the Zhu family, Du Fei had to unite with Chu Ming in the current situation alone.
Right now, there are four main characters in their small group, Du Fei, Lin Tiansheng, Chu Ming, and Li Yuanchao.
Although there was a suspicion hidden in his heart, Lin Tiansheng and Li Yuanchao must be on the same side.
Du Fei and Chu Ming belong to another faction, which is determined by their background attributes.
Lin Tiansheng and Li Yuanchao have guns and people, Du Fei has a name, and Chu Ming is in the local area, so that the two sides can balance.
If Du Fei couldn't hold back Chu Ming, he would really become a polished commander in name only.
Therefore, this time, Du Fei crossed the Peng's house in Fanling along the way and came directly to Sheung Shui.
Soon, news of a car coming at the door spread to the village office.
When Du Fei and Zhang Dabin walked into the gate of the village office, they saw an old man in his 60s, wearing an old-fashioned long gown, with meticulous hair and a smile on his face.
Zhang Dabin whispered in Du Fei's ear: "Director, this is Hou Bingren, the patriarch of the Hou family."
Du Fei nodded.
This time when he came to the south, Dad Zhu gave Du Fei the title of director on his certificate, which is actually a false job.
Zhang Dabin specially called him this way for convenience and to demonstrate Du Fei's authority outside.
The director, as the name suggests, is the person in charge of the main responsibility.
While talking, Hou Bingren had already come to the front, the old-fashioned one clasped his fists at Du Fei and the two, and said with a smile: "My servant, Hou Bingren, is the head of this village. I don't know what the two of you are doing here?"
Du Fei didn't speak, Zhang Dabin said in Cantonese: "Hello, Village Chief Hou, this is our Director Du."
Then he translated what Hou Bingren had just said to Du Fei in Mandarin.
In fact, Du Fei can speak Cantonese, but this time he has to carry some, after all, the Hou family just gave him a blow.
As for later, when Hou Lu was killed by Zhou Changli, Du Fei innocently said that I didn't know it at all!
Smiling, he took two steps forward and shook hands with Hou Bingren: "Mr. Hou, please forgive me for coming uninvited."
