Chapter 445

The entrance to Chinatown in San Francisco is at the southern end of Grant Street on Bush Avenue. The gate is covered with green tiles, and several vivid dragons have a Chinese flavor.In the alleys here, you can see many traditional shops, restaurants and old houses.Chinatown is still lively until around ten o'clock in the evening, and it is safer than other areas.Otherwise, head north from here for a short distance to Broadway.

There are more than [-] overseas Chinese living here, and the colorful Chinese culture is everywhere. What is written and heard is in Chinese, and what you see is very traditional Chinese.Chinatown has all kinds of Chinese goods from groceries to precious jewelry, and also retains traditional restaurants and buildings, such as the ancient temple of Tin Hau.This is a different place, like a little China.

At the end of the 19th century, Chinese immigrants were transported to California like "selling piglets" to build the Pacific Railway and pan for gold. The government at the time considered them "second-class citizens" and stipulated that they live in specific areas so as not to "pollute" other places.They had no choice but to operate in a small area centered on Duban Street. Later, new immigrants moved in here. Today, it has become the "Chinatown" in front of us, and it is also the largest Chinese community outside Asia.

The history of overseas immigration has always been based on tragedy, with hardships as pillars, to create a place to live and live. The hard work and dedication during the process can still be seen in Chinatown.The Chinese Historical Society tells the history of Chinatown and the difficult years of the Chinese in the United States. Various documents also prove the contribution of the Chinese community to the history of San Francisco.

However, there is an inconspicuous building behind the Historical Club, which is the headquarters of the International Yishu Council.In traditional Chinese architecture, the stone lions at the entrance have experienced years and look a little mottled.Only a few people know that this mysterious non-governmental organization actually holds the lifeline of dozens of countries in the world.

Looking at all this, the dusty Fan Jiannan felt a little emotional in his heart.He doesn't have a good impression of the Yishu Council, but seeing the familiar Chinese-style buildings and the deep ethnic plot behind all of them after being in a foreign country, still makes him have some admiration for what the predecessors of the art world got in a foreign country. Achievement.Because he knows that behind this is the hard work and blood and sweat of generations.

Carrying a bag, he slowly walked into a small cafe opposite the council headquarters building.I chose a seat by the window to sit down, ordered a cup of coffee casually, and drank it leisurely.

After a while, a tall beauty walked in, it was the mixed-race Xie Feier.After seeing Fan Jiannan, she was suddenly stunned, and said in surprise, "Fan Jiannan, why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me?" Fan Jiannan smiled slightly.

"But... aren't you in Hong Kong? When did you arrive in San Francisco?" Xie Feier asked in surprise.

"Just arrived." Fan Jiannan pointed to the bag in his hand, and said lazily, "I just put down the bag in my hand, what's the problem?"

Xie Feier quickly shook her head and said, "No, of course it's okay. But I just felt it was very sudden. What's the matter?" She rolled her eyes, and suddenly covered her mouth with a smile, "Could it be that you came to find me on purpose? It moved me a little bit.”

"The main purpose, of course, is not to find you. But today I did come to find you." Fan Jiannan smiled slightly.

When he said that, Xie Feier was stunned.Obviously, Fan Jiannan's answer took her by surprise.However, she still pretended to be calm and teasingly said, "Are you really looking for me? Why, you miss me so much after not seeing you for a few months, or are you and your Miss Feng completely finished and want to find another love?"

"None." Fan Jiannan said slowly, "I want you to introduce someone for me."

Xie Feier's expression changed, "Who do you want to see?"

"If it's someone else, do I still need to come to you? I need your introduction, of course it's someone from the Yishu Council." Fan Jiannan smiled slightly. "Would you like to continue standing there talking to me, or come and sit with me? By the way, what would you like to drink?"

"Coffee, thank you." Xie Feier smiled, walked to the opposite of Fan Jiannan and sat down, "Why do you need me if you want to see someone from the council? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to Mr. Du? Who else is on the council? He doesn’t know him, and who doesn’t listen to him?”

"The person I'm looking for is precisely the top executive of the council, and of course he doesn't need to listen to Mr. Du." Fan Jiannan said slowly.

The smile on Xie Fei'er's face stagnated slightly, but she then giggled, "This is strange, there are still such people in the council?"

"Of course there is. My uncle only handles some public affairs in the council. On the surface, he is indeed the head of the council, but the first director behind the scenes of the council is the real boss. About this A little bit, Miss Xie doesn't know, right?" Fan Jiannan smiled slightly.

Xie Feier frowned slightly, "Where did you hear this news?"

"It doesn't matter where I heard it from, I just want to meet this first director. My divination skills can count you appearing here at this time, but I can't count him, because I know nothing about this person I know. That's why I need your help." Fan Jiannan looked at Xie Feier and said.

Xie Feier shook her head, "If that's the case, I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"Why?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "I thought we were friends after all."

"I am your friend, Fan Jiannan." Xie Feier nodded, "I have been your friend before, and I will be your friend in the future. But I really can't help you with this matter. And I can tell you for sure, no Anyone can help you."

"Oh? What's the reason?" Fan Jiannan asked puzzled.

"I don't know how much you know about the first director? But since you ask me like this, it obviously shows that you don't know much about the first director and the internal affairs of the council." Xie Feier said seriously.

"That's why I'm looking for you." Fan Jiannan shrugged.

Xie Feier was silent for a while and sighed, "Okay. I know, if I don't tell you, you will definitely not give up."

"I would like to hear the details." Fan Jiannan said slowly, "I have enough time to listen to you."

Xie Feier said slowly, "You should see the building opposite, that is the council. Since the establishment of the council at the end of the nineteenth century, three directors have been in charge of all affairs. Mr. Du and Po Jun, You are very familiar. But the first director, not only you have never met. Even I only know his name and have never met this person. Everything about this person is a mystery. However, there is one thing You're right. He's the real power in the council."

"What? You have never seen this person before, how is this possible?" Fan Jiannan was slightly surprised.

Xie Feier nodded and said, "There are 43 staff members at the council headquarters, and none of them has seen the first director. The only person who can see him is Mr. Du, and I can tell you with certainty that even Mr. Du, it is impossible to see him often. The headquarters of the council, the office of the first director is always empty."

"What? You mean that the first director is not at the headquarters of your Yishu council?" Fan Jiannan said in surprise.

Xie Feier shook her head, "It's hard for me to answer you, because we don't know who this person is at all. You must have noticed that your uncle is called Mr. Du. After Po Jun was promoted to a director, we He should be called Mr. Chen. But only the first director, we always call him the first director. Because no one knows his name. You want me to introduce you to this person, but I have no idea who is he."

"But someone from the council must have seen him. With such a huge organization as the Yishu Council, if he never shows up, how can his decisions and will be carried out by subordinates?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"It's very simple. At the beginning, it was through telegram and email, but now the popularity of email is enough for him to live behind the scenes, but he can direct the operation of the entire Yishu Council. He is the real behind-the-scenes decision maker, the huge system of the Yishu Council There is only one brain, and that is the first director." Xie Feier said slowly, "Now, you should understand. You will never find this person anyway. It is even possible that he is not in San Francisco at all, not in the United States."

"So, is it possible to determine where he is now through the IP address of his email?" Fan Jiannan thought for a while.

Xie Feier shook his head and said, "He sent and received emails through the internal server set up by the council. This group of servers is very sophisticated, and no one can get any information from it. I can tell you that even the US intelligence agencies can't get the trusteeship from the council. It will steal the slightest information. During the Prism incident some time ago, Snowden broke a lot of news to the public, but none of it was about the Yishu Council. Because even a large national intelligence agency cannot spy on the council. Secret, so everything in the council is still like an underground world that is not known to the world."

"Okay. I know it's difficult, but it's really important to me. Can you help me think of other ways?" Fan Jiannan sighed. "For example, although the first director is not in the council, he should have a relevant agent, right? If there is anything, how do you contact him?"

Xie Feier smiled slightly, "We never need to contact the first director, he always contacts us, because it seems that nothing can be hidden from him. Just like the rebellion of King Marshall some time ago. Before he took any action , the First Director has emailed Mr. Du the entire plan to deal with him. Facts have proved that he is right. Without the First Director, the chaos caused by King Marshall would never have been completely contained within a few days .”

Fan Jiannan said blankly, "So, he may also be a hexagram master, or a very powerful divination expert?"

Xie Feier sighed, "No one knows the real situation. But everyone knows that the first director is a very powerful magician, at least much stronger than your uncle, Mr. Du."
