By the time the two arrived at Igor and Su Qing's residence in Dong 1, panting, five minutes had passed since the agreed seven o'clock.The chaos of the dungeon structure is beyond imagination. They ran wildly in the intricate steel jungle, jumped off the platform of the capsule train with gifts, and ran through countless deserted paths and crumbling overpasses before entering this strange,An apartment building spanning two tall buildings like a bridge.

When Deng Huailing arrived, the collar of the jacket he was wearing was twisted by the wind. Rosie stroked her messy long hair, and pulled back the off-white faux wool cardigan that "the elders like it" back to her shoulders——When changing from the military uniform to civilian clothes, he didn't have time to open the closet to search for it by himself, so he told the logistics officer that he would see the two elders later and asked the other party to get a suitable set of clothes.

The logistics officer enthusiastically matched him with well-colored shirts and cardigans. By the way, he persuaded Deng Huailing to take off the black windbreaker that was specially designed for killing and stealing goods, and replaced it with a business-casual khaki jacket.They took out their briefcases and dressed them up like a law-abiding model couple.

When Rosie came back to her senses, she realized that the logistics officer had mistakenly thought that they were going to meet each other's family members. After all, his relationship with Deng Huailing had already reached this point.It's a complete mess, and they're just going to meet two elderly friends.

"You look like a gentle and virtuous mother, the kind who usually makes caring bento for her husband." Deng Huailing stood in front of Igor's house, rang the doorbell, then turned around and twitched with interest.Twist Rosie's cardigan, teasing.

"I'm sorry that I can't make bento." Rosie glanced at the other party's attire, and replied angrily, "Are you, you look like a gangster who failed in real estate sales, but because of his vicious temperament, he switched to debt collectionThugs."

Deng Huailing didn't know whether he was caught by Rosie's words or the slightly annoyed expression, he burst out laughing, hugged Rosie and kissed the top of her hair while laughing: "Then you were robbed by gangstersLittle wife, terrified to death but forced to warm her bed—how does the story go? Do you think it will work when I get home tonight?"

"...Don't you think the house is not messy enough? I won't play with you." Rosie muttered and looked away, her shyness was concealed behind her flickering eyes.When Deng Huailing started to take the initiative to tease him, and he no longer needed to take the initiative, his momentum of pressing and kissing the other party disappeared without a trace, "In short, let's talk about the business first, and we will talk about going home when we go home."

The door in front of me suddenly opened, the light streamed out, and the rich aroma of food and tea filled the room, which lifted people's spirits.An old Russian man wearing reading glasses greeted the visitors at the door. Next to him was a gentle woman with silver hair, dressed in silk clothes, looking at them with an elegant smile.

Igor patted Deng Huailing's shoulder vigorously, and squeezed the other's hand: "Hey, Deng! I heard that you were rescued back to the second district, but you have been recuperating in the hospital. That military hospital is notLet people other than 'shu' enter, I can see you today. It seems that the injury is recovering well, and I can fight for another thirty years, huh?"

"It's recovered pretty well." Deng Huailing smiled, and looked at Rosie beside him, "If you work hard for him, fifty years doesn't matter."

So Igor turned his probing eyes to Rosie, "This must be..."

Rosie held out her hand politely, and said something in Russian in a warm voice: "Здравствуйте (Hello), I'm Rosie. I'm sorry we're late."

"Don't mind, we didn't wait long." Igor spoke cheerful Chinese, held Rosie's hand, and looked at him with friendly and shrewd eyes, "The leader of 'shu', reallySeeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Speaking of which, Su Qing and I haven’t thanked you for sending people to protect us out of the city, and for arranging us a residence in the second district, so it’s time to treat you to a proper meal.”

"It's just a little help, it's not worth mentioning." Rosie said with a smile, "I had someone install anti-radiation materials between the wall interlayers here in advance, but the environment in the second district is harsh, and the radiation is still serious.Age, usually less to go out."

He noticed that the old man's gaze was like a sharp scalpel, dissecting his personality according to the texture, dissecting the complex heart of the leader under his harmless appearance, but because of his quickness and sharpness, he was not annoying.

This gaze reminded him of Deng Huailing. Perhaps observation and analysis are the common features of all top bounty hunters. Before starting cooperation, these hunters will make judgments based on their intuition.

Rosie has long been used to this kind of scrutiny, and she met Igor's gaze calmly, and politely handed over the wrapped gift in her hand.The gift they prepared for Su Qing was the enamel tea set, and the gift for Igor was cigars. In addition, Deng Huailing also brought the last bottle of wine left in the smashed wine cabinet at home. When preparing dinner, everyonedrink together.

After a brief greeting, the Igors invited them into the house.Rosie was sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting with the old couple, and Deng Huailing went to the kitchen to sober up.

He found the corkscrew, unscrewed the cork, poured the red wine into the decanter and let it stand. In just a few short steps, within ten minutes, faint laughter could already be heard coming from the direction of the living room.

When Deng Huailing walked out of the kitchen, Rosie was chatting very enthusiastically with the couple. Igor was leaning on the sofa with a cigar, talking about the news of the second district and the interesting things that happened in the Hunter's Guild recently, while Su Qing smiled kindly, staring at the two men beside him.The young leader doesn't often answer the phone, but every time he speaks, people can't help showing a knowing smile.

The lamp in the living room casts a light halo on Rosie's hair, which makes people want to get closer, like a light source that attracts moths.Deng Huailing looked at this scene and raised the corners of her lips. This is the most outstanding ability of Rosie. It is not fighting in the smoke as a weapon of war, but kind and sincere.The needle is magnetized in an instant, and since then has a clear direction pointing north and south.

Seeing Deng Huailing came out, the conversation shifted to the dining table.The steaming dishes were all on the table, and there were five chairs beside the table. Rosie sat down beside Deng Huailing, took out a portable projector from her pocket, connected it to the tablet, and placed it on the empty seat.

The holographic image unfolded, and the bust of Rolla was faintly suspended in mid-air. The background was the bedroom on the second floor of HOPE, surrounded by green smoke.She poked the lit cigarette butt between her fingers into the ashtray, and said helplessly:

"I know I must look like a ghost now...anyone can come, please lower my position, I can see the top of your heads."

"No, you look like a Buddha statue in a smoky temple." Deng Huailing walked over and adjusted the angle of the projector until Rolla was right on the edge of the table, "Did you also replace your lungs with electronic ones?You have a new interface in your neck."

"Ahem, the eyes are really poisonous." Rolla waved his hands and said, "These are small things, but our big things, how are you discussing?"

"We just sat down, since everyone knows each other, let's start directly." Rosie took control of the scene very naturally, "This is an informal negotiation. After the formal contract is negotiated, I will send relevant officials and executives toIt will be signed. So chat casually, and you can have dinner while you talk."

Rolla sighed as he looked at the sumptuous dishes far underground in the second district, unwrapped the composite sandwich casually, stared at Luo Xi's face and watched him speak.It's true that she knew Luoxi, but only during Rosie's time. Although she heard about Luoxi's experience from Deng Huailing, she still couldn't associate this calm leader with a gentle bionic person.It's weird.

She chewed her sandwich, suppressed her doubts and said to the business: "Actually, the proposal to establish a branch does not need to be discussed with us at the leader level. I understand that you followed up on this matter for Huailing's sake.But now that the leader is here, it's more convenient to ask in person—we want to know, what is 'Shu''s attitude towards the hunter's guild's proposal to enter the second district?"

"It's a very straightforward question, do you want the most honest answer?" Rosie smiled lightly, "Then I'll just say it straight, I want to establish a branch in the second district, that's fine. 'Surgery' will invest a lot of money to perfect theThe bounty hunter legislation will solve the judicial problems caused by it, and then allocate a fund for the promotion of the branch in the second district; however, all activities of the branch must follow the rules of the second district."

"According to the rules of the second district?" Rolla's lazy eyes suddenly became clear, and a look of vigilance emerged in it, "What kind of rules are they, can you tell me more about them?"

"Intercommunication of intelligence systems is prohibited, interference with the tasks of the branch is prohibited, and management personnel stationed from the guild to the branch are prohibited." Rosie said three "No"s in a row, "All the decision-making power of the branch is given to Huailing, what you get, only dividends.”

"..." Rolla hesitated for half a minute after hearing the other party's conditions.She was still stuck in her stereotyped impression of Rosie, thinking that Rosie was a pure and innocent little white rabbit, but she seized power from Victor with thunderous force, wiped out those presumptuous adjudicators in the west, and curtailed their power.No matter how pure he is, he is still a snow wolf with white fur.

Rosie's heart is not as gentle as his appearance, and he can be flattened and rounded at will.Once he takes the initiative in the negotiation, he will relentlessly strive for the greatest interests. As for the moderation or toughness on the negotiating table, it is just an emotional means for him to strive for interests.

Before participating in this meeting, Rolla had discussed with other high-level members of the guild, and also simulated several deadlocks that might be encountered during the negotiations, and drew a bottom line for making concessions to "skills" to ensure that this sum is beneficial to the guild.The most important transactions will not be discussed and collapsed.It's just that she didn't expect the stalemate to come so quickly.

Rolla reconfirmed with luck: "The rules of the second district, isn't it like this?"

"It depends on how you define 'rules'. If you are talking about consistent customs, there are indeed no such rules. But if you want to do business with the rebels in the eyes of the main city..."

Rosie tugged at the housewife's usual woolen cardigan that slipped off her shoulders, with a calm expression, "My word is the rule."
