Luis rested at ho for two days to recuperate his body. Although his stamina value was 8, he still needed to exercise so restraint and not indulge too excessively before earning new attribute points.
Currently, there were two random blind boxes in his backpack: Aphrodisiac Incense (Male).
Most importantly, he had completed the task for his sister in law, resulting in an inco of 800,000 dollars. Even though he had spent quite a bit, the balance in his card now exceeded 1.2 million dollars. Looking at this astronomical figure, Luis felt his mind buzzing.
The address Hail had given was right in front of the Tiger Real Estate building. The area around the Tiger Real Estate building was surrounded by rented storefronts, almost all of which were restaurants with very affordable prices.
Luis arrived early at five thirty. Hail was even more punctual, arriving almost exactly on ti.
As soon as he approached, Hail said with a cheerful smile, "This is probably the effect Bella wants most, right? She'll likely arrive in her flashy sports car soon, so more people can see her having dinner with ."
"Brother Hail, if it's too troubleso, then..."
Luis's words were cut off before he could finish. Hail stepped forward and patted Luis's shoulder warmly, saying, "Luis, it won't be troubleso."
"The incident at the evening party was Dominic's fault. Mayor Waller was also very upset. Moreover, work situations are complex, and this isn't sothing that can be explained to you clearly in a short ti."
"Just rember one thing: I also need Bella to apply so pressure on the Leon family and Dominic. Your involvent actually serves as a good pretext."
Well, Luis didn't really understand these matters anyway.
Hail narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The court has already stopped accepting those two cases of yours. I heard he has other similar lawsuits, which will most likely all be dismissed."
Hail looked at Luis thoughtfully and said, "If you still feel unsatisfied, I could put in another word and make things more difficult for him?"
"Sure!"
Luis gave him a general idea about the company being a front for illicit activities and their involvent in procuring prostitution.
"There's actually sothing like that? That's enough for jail ti, though not necessarily a major sentence."
Hail narrowed his eyes again and said, "Luis, if you want to vent your anger, I have a thod you might consider."
After hearing his thod, Luis was stunned. These officials really were quite cunning.
"Do you know anyone in the police?"
Hail asked another question.
"Sort of, but not very familiar."
Luis touched his head, thinking of Gasle, but his relationship with him wasn't very close either.
After asking for the na and position, Hail patted Luis's shoulder aningfully and said, "I'll put in a word. After all, this is about cracking down on illegal activities. He'll definitely put in the effort. If you find it troubleso, you don't have to set that trap."
"It's fine, Brother Hail. I'll definitely cooperate with their work."
Luis revealed a sinister smile.
As they spoke, a red Ferrari ca to a stop, not even parking by the roadside but almost blocking the entrance to Tiger Real Estate, leaving just enough space for one car to pass through.
Hail said with a smile, "This President Leon is still decisive and swift, much more vibrant than Dominic."
With people like this, sotis you really couldn't tell if they were praising or criticizing. It felt like even their Chinese needed translation.
Bella ca alone, without bringing the more eye catching, higher profile elf princess Nina, which left Luis feeling sowhat disappointed.
However, President Leon wore a fitting dress that elegantly and gracefully outlined her excellent figure. Her long, wavy hair tied up exuded a charming allure. Her typical air of noble superiority was also quite striking.
"My apologies, Secretary Hail, am I late?"
"No, you're early too. It's just that Luis and I had nothing to do, so we arrived before you."
People like Hail were already entering the stage where they had little interest in won. Faced with such a stunning beauty, he maintained a calm, unfazed, and very official smile.
Luis was an ordinary mortal. At the sight of her, he couldn't help but recall the astonishing elasticity of her breasts and longed to experience that voluptuous sensation again.
"Does the food here suit your taste? Perhaps you'd prefer to co to our hotel?"
Bella's earnest suggestion was directly refused. Hail said lightly, "No need. These small eateries have more of a down to earth atmosphere. I just wanted to have a casual drink with Luis."
"President Leon, you don't mind the environnt here, do you?"
Luis could tell Bella was pushing her luck, but she had t her match. Hail's last sentence was clearly a warning.
Bella hastily said, "Not at all, not at all. Secretary Hail, you must be joking. It's just a simple al; no need to be so particular."
It could only be said that everything has its counter. No matter how arrogant and domineering she had been here before, in front of Hail, she truly didn't dare breathe too heavily, even though Hail didn't give her a friendly look.
Hail, as if changing his expression, turned a warm smile towards Luis and asked, "Which place should we eat at?"
Bella put on a pitiful expression and subtly tugged at Luis's sleeve. Considering her act of parking her car right at the company entrance, it was clearly a deliberate provocation.
Luis, who was always most susceptible to won's charms, laughed and said, "Let's eat outside. It's crowded inside, but it's cooler outside and more enjoyable to eat."
"Alright, then we'll eat outside. Perfect, since I can't handle anything too spicy!"
Hail nodded agreeably, giving face.
Right near the company gate, almost right under the security room window, tables and chairs were set up. They deliberately chose the nearest Northeastern style ho cooking restaurant.
Dried chili peppers with dried tofu, pork slices with Japanese tofu, fresh vegetables with dipping sauce, "Kill the Pig" stew hotpot, and a pot of tripe hotpot. All were authentic dishes to have with drinks.
Hail picked out a bottle of wine costing a few dozen dollars from the shop. This ti, Bella wisely didn't suggest drinking finer wine, otherwise she probably would have been rebuked again.
The dignified President Leon acted like a timid young wife, sitting on the sa side as Luis, diligently washing the tableware and pouring wine.
It was clear she had so germaphobic tendencies and wasn't very comfortable with the well worn tables and chairs, but at least she didn't dare show any sign of it outwardly.
They chatted a bit about everyday matters. Hail only took the initiative to ask about Luis's living situation and ntioned that Dominic had been trying to find a way to apologize to Luis in person.
"Brother Hail, no work today? You said yourself you usually don't drink."
"Mayor Waller has no engagents tonight. He's gone ho to be with his wife and kids. I need to relax occasionally too."
They clinked glasses and chatted for a while about trivial matters, though there wasn't much common ground to discuss.
Hail thought for a mont, then said aningfully, "Luis, President Ye's birthday is on the 10th of next month. If you have ti, give him a call."
"Okay!"
Only then did Luis rember that cheap father of his, whom he had acquired by selling everything he owned.
