my old life

Chapter 2452
When a cigarette burned out in her hand, Li Xiaorou was still waiting for me, as if she had been stepped on by her tail.

In fact, I didn't mean to blame her, I can understand the intention of the fox's arrangement, and I also understand the painstaking efforts.

"It's getting late, go to bed early." I greeted and turned off the bedside lamp.

The long dark night is so quiet, my heart has become as calm as water, when everything calms down, there are only deep thoughts.

Time passed by, and someone knocked on the door early the next morning, and I got up in a daze to open the door.

Standing at the door was Xiaona. The shirt and jeans looked very light and refreshing. I glanced at the time and it was past nine in the morning.

"Mr. Hawkeye, everything is ready and everything has been delivered."

Xiaona shook a bag in her hand, feeling that it was full of many things.

"Okay, put it on the table." I yawned and turned to look for cigarettes. A refreshing cigarette is essential every morning.

Xiaona opened the bag, inside was something wrapped in a soft cloth, and some clues could be seen through the corners.

"This is a trophy, this is a medal, and there are certificates and certificates." Xiaona took out things one by one and placed them all on the table.

"It looks pretty good." I picked up the trophy and looked at it, and there was nothing wrong with it on the surface, but it was a little rough.

For the one-day and one-night rush time, it is not bad to be able to achieve this level, anyway, it is just a prop for the game.

This prop is the introduction to the game, and it is also the pig feed before the slaughter. I don’t know if Mike’s teacher will take the bait.

"By the way, have you found all the people?" I asked casually, I must find more people to fill the scene.

"There are seven people in total, and the labor fee of [-] pounds per person is already the lowest price..." Xiaona stuck out her tongue at me, it seemed that it took a lot of effort.

"Good job, thank you for your hard work." I didn't hesitate to praise her, and I knew she needed it.

"It's all right, everything should be done." Xiaona smiled happily, and everyone who worked hard wanted to be recognized.

Even just a word of thanks can make people feel that things are meaningful. Recognition is an invisible force, but it can change a lot.

"You call the old man and let him come to receive the award."

Now it's all set and ready to get Mike's teacher in, open the pockets and wait for him to jump in!

"Okay, but what should I say?"

"Just say that you are an interpreter, just notify him to come to receive the award, and don't need to say anything else."

As the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will lose it. I don't know English and can't communicate. Xiaona is inexperienced and easy to reveal her secrets.

"But is it really okay? Aren't we lying?" Xiaona's face changed instantly, and she became nervous.

As soon as I saw her like this, I knew I couldn't do it. If I showed my timidity before I spoke, this state would definitely not be able to deceive others, so I could only deceive her first!

"I'm not lying! I came here to present an award to him, but I lost the trophy, so I made one impromptu."

I made a fool of myself, the teacher who wants to deceive Mike must first deceive Xiaona, otherwise she will reveal her truth in a few words.

"really?"

"Of course!" I answered very positively, she didn't know what I was doing here, nor did she know the purpose of my coming here.

"Okay." Xiaona's face returned to normal, and she was even a different person from before.

I have to say that human psychology is amazing. When there is an excuse and reason for oneself to accept, then everything will become logical.

It's like young men and women who are strangers before the relationship is confirmed, but once the relationship is confirmed, they can sleep together... In fact, it's just an extra status.

"By the way, remind him to come here in formal attire. There will be many celebrities here today." I reminded him, this is a hook.

"Okay, okay." Xiaona picked up the phone and dialed the number, and I motioned her to call outside the apartment.

Anyway, I can't understand English, as long as the news is conveyed, the old man doesn't want to see Mike, but I want to fish him out!
A few minutes later, Xiaona looked at me with a troubled face, and my shy look made me feel cold. Could it be a mess?

"What's the situation?" I asked anxiously, feeling a little nervous.

"The phone can't get through."

I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard this. I was really taken aback just now. I always feel uneasy about relying on others to do things.

"Use my phone to make a call." I handed over the satellite phone. It is estimated that ordinary people's numbers cannot be accessed, or a firewall is set up.

This time the call was connected, and I thought to myself that this old man is not small, and ordinary people still can't get through the phone.

Xiaona speaks standard English as soon as she speaks, and she doesn't know what she communicated, but it seems that everything is going well.

However, Xiaona's complexion changed a little, and the voice on the other end of the phone was very aggressive, which seemed to be the bad temper of a stubborn old man.

After hanging up the phone, Xiaona breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that she was nervous, but luckily she didn't show any obvious flaws.

"How is it?" I whispered, trying to calm her down.

"He's so fierce, he said we didn't say hello in advance, and he was on vacation in Ireland."

"What? Vacation?" I was stunned when I heard this. This old man ran out when he wasn't at home?

"That's right, he said he won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest." Xiaona murmured in a low voice, and it was only then that I realized that my reaction just now was a bit loud.

"Okay then, we'll just wait for him!" I said with a smile, there is no other way to wait now.

"But everything is ready."

"It doesn't matter, all the money will be paid, and he will count when he comes!" I still kept smiling, this was not anyone's mistake, it was just a coincidence.

"Okay, but it costs a lot of money every day." Xiaona looked distressed, in fact, I feel distressed too!

"It's okay, it's worth spending more money for him." I said with a smile, for Mike, this amount of money is nothing at all.

As long as Mike's knot can be untied, no matter how much money is spent, it is worth it, because the help he gave me far exceeds the value of the money.

"By the way, don't tell anyone about this, including Alex, understand?"

"clear."

"Be sure to remember that keeping your mouth shut will make you more popular." I looked at her with a smile, as a warning to her.

"Enn, I remember!"

"I'll tell you one more important thing. Don't talk double-sidedly at any time. People before and after must be the same."

"I don't quite understand." Xiaona looked at me blankly. In fact, this is a very practical principle of interpersonal communication.

"Even if you say it behind others, you can also say it in front of others. If you can't say it, then don't speak behind your back. Do you understand?"

"Ok!"

"As long as you know."

I smiled and touched Xiaona's head. I felt that she was very cute, and I envied her pure and clean life.

At this moment someone knocked on the door, Xiaona got up immediately to open the door, I thought it was Mike?

The moment I opened the door, I saw the dining car, with a few metal dining covers on it, and it was a foreigner who came to deliver coffee yesterday.

As soon as the foreigner enters the door, he bows and greets enthusiastically. He is in his 40s, giving people a very mature and stable feeling.

"This is?" I asked for no reason, and I couldn't understand Xiaona's chattering exchanges with foreigners.

The foreigner put down his things and left politely, without even asking for a tip. I turned to look at Xiaona curiously.

"Xiaona, is this what you asked for for me?"

"No, he said it was a gift for Mr. Yesterday was also at this time."

"Marketing?" I asked curiously, but Xiaona shook her head.

"They will record the time when the customer ordered something, and at the same time they will give the guest a gift, as long as the value does not exceed fifty pounds."

"So generous? Isn't it a loss to send them every day?" I joked with a smile, not quite understanding the meaning of this rule.

"The coffee and beverages in the hotel are free, and they are all good brewed coffee, unless there is a need to order a separate meal."

Xiaona explained, but I suddenly heard something was wrong, this is not right!

"Wait! You ordered me free coffee yesterday?"
