Chapter 1304: Eyes Staring into the Abyss
There are fish only when the water is clear enough. The water in the United States is obviously not clear enough.
In fact, this is normal. Where there are people, there are underworld. As a member of the underworld in California, Taiji knows what to do.
The branch chief Terry is not athlete Terry. He is a bald fat man wearing a special uniform and brought a large group of people upstairs.
"Hahaha!" Taiji was smiling as he stood at the elevator entrance to greet them. "That's too much. There are so many of us. It's too formal, Terry. Please come in."
Taj and Terry knew each other and were very familiar with each other.
However, this kind of familiarity is only familiarity in terms of the scene, not the kind of familiarity of being on the same front.
Terry raised his belt, touched his nose with his hand, and turned back to tell his men, "Wait outside."
He followed Taiji into the office alone, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with this.
Entering the office, Terry sat down on Taj's boss chair, making it creak. "Are you alone? Isn't your boss Jim here?"
This attitude is a bit arrogant.
When Taj saw Terry's attitude, he knew that today's matter would not be easily resolved.
He took out a box of treasured cigars and placed it next to Terry, then went to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of fine whiskey. "Mr. Jim is not here, so let's talk. Don't worry, I can basically make the decision on all matters concerning Douying Technology. Don't underestimate my current position."
Terry nodded, took out a cigar, sniffed it, and finally put it down without even touching his favorite whiskey.
Seeing this, Taiji sneered in his heart, damn, he is going to be ruthless.
"What? You don't want this hobby of yours anymore?" Taiji smiled again, took a sip of wine, and said with an intoxicated expression, "Don't you even want to take a look at this wine? It would be a pity if you don't drink it."
"Listen, Taiji." Terry swallowed his saliva, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and took a sip of the wine glass. "This matter is very troublesome. You have offended a big shot. The order from headquarters asked me to come and talk to you."
"We didn't break the law!" Taiji shrugged. "No matter where the order comes from, we must abide by the Constitution, right?"
It is the American custom that the Constitution is supreme.
But for this thing, you have to distinguish between people. If you are an ordinary citizen facing the powerful or the capital, no matter what you say, it will be useless. You can only satisfy your desire to talk, but it will not have any effect on the result.
Taj was not just any ordinary person, so when he spoke, Terry had to listen.
"Listen, Taj." Terry smoked a cigar. "I know what you mean, and you know what I mean. I advise you not to do anything rash. It's best to just listen to what you say. You've offended too many people this time. They didn't actually ask you to do anything. Two things. First, stop playing the video about the rumors about the President. Second, tell them who spread the rumors in the first place."
"Is it that simple?" Taiji was stunned for a moment, then said, "I thought they were going to... Never mind, let's not talk about this. Wait a moment, I'll ask someone."
Taiji didn't understand technical matters. Like everyone else, he thought it was easy to stop the release of a video or find out who posted it.
Taiji came to the technical department, found the technical director, and told him the relevant issues.
The director told Taiji bluntly that he couldn't do it, or rather, no one in the company could do it, and gave a lot of reasons. Taiji couldn't understand at all. In the end, he only vaguely understood that Zeng Wangcai had to provide something before their technical department could perform certain operations on the algorithms and programs.
When Taiji learned this, he immediately called Zeng Wangcai and told him Terry's request.
Zeng Wangcai scolded Taiji and told him that if these things were done, the company would be ruined immediately and that he must never interfere with the rules.
All in all, Taiji understood the current situation, and he naturally chose to stand on Zeng Wangcai's side. It was all about money.
But the current situation needs to be resolved, right? So Taiji asked Zeng Wangcai how to do it. Zeng Wangcai told him to do it randomly, using money, alcohol, and women. In short, try to delay as much as possible, and told him an excuse.
Zeng Wangcai wanted to delay time because he thought Terry's rank was not high enough. He wanted to drag Terry into the water and then send people from the FBI headquarters. The people from the headquarters did not know much about the situation in California and would be more likely to ignite the flames of conflict.
Having made up his mind, Taiji came out leisurely and whispered a few words to his secretary, who understood what he meant and left.
Back in the office, Taj pulled Terry out of his boss chair, sat down on the sofa together, and then went to get $200,000 in cash himself.
"What do you mean?" Although he was asking a question, the corners of Terry's mouth had already begun to curl up.
Terry lifted the box of money and had a rough idea of what was going on.
"It's difficult!" Taiji said with a smile, "You know Mr. Jim is not here. I just went to the technical department. Mr. Jim agreed with what you proposed, but there are some technical problems. I don't understand some of the key data and codes. In other words, due to human factors, it cannot be done immediately. So I hope you can give us a few days."
"Technical manpower?" Terry obviously didn't understand technology. He only heard the general idea, but understood what Taj meant. He put down the cash box and said, "Taj, is this all it will take in a few days?"
"Haha, I understand, I understand. I know there are people who need you. Don't worry, don't worry." Taiji understood immediately.
Taj was filled with admiration and wondered how Jim knew Terry would agree and even raise the price.
After a while, a beautiful girl with red hair and a great figure came in. She was wearing a loose skirt with wide open cuffs and neckline.
The red-haired girl brought in two more boxes: "Sir, they are all here, where should we put them?"
The red-haired girl asked the question to Taji, but her eyes were looking at Terry seductively.
Terry's reputation in California is that he loves everything, including cigarettes, alcohol and women, and all of these require money.
When all four of these things are gathered, especially when his favorite red-haired beauty is present, he will definitely be controlled.
The red-haired girl bent down and put the cash box on the coffee table. Because of her action, Terry's sleeves were wide open, and he could see a different view from there.
Terry is a die-hard fan of this and he certainly would not miss this opportunity, so he took the opportunity to turn his head and look at his cuffs.
Eyes that stared into the abyss saw...another pair of eyes.
Damn, Taiji was also watching from the other side.
“Hahaha…” Taiji and Terry laughed at the same time and got along well.
......
Xiaobao and his friends finally came back and brought Xiaolai back with them.
"Where is she?" Zeng Wangcai glanced at Xiao Bao and Yu Tie who came in, "You've worked hard along the way. Take me to see her."
"Brother, she was exhausted from driving the whole trip, so she took a break after making the arrangements."
"Stupid, now that we're here, I have the final say. Did I let her rest?"
"..."
The Investigation Bureau has taken action. They have to brainwash Xiao Lai. This guy is very useful.
