【662】Backstab Leonard?(1/2)
One week later.
Smith, White and Andrew's vacation end.
Qin Yan and his wife returned to China by private plane.
Li Qin did not wait for the plane to come back, but asked Su to take him to Salem, the state capital.
Have a dinner with Aiken.
This is Adrian's reminder.
Aiken cursed Li Qin and always expressed his friendship. Now that Li's situation has come true, FBI has gradually put aside his guard against him. If the relationship with Aiken heats up, it is obviously a good thing.
So before setting out for the Bay Area, Li Qin first came to the state capital, and then took a civil aviation plane from Portland to the Bay Area after the end.
Rachel was with him, and this time he brought Tang Fei.
It is actually a bit biased to say that he and Lu Yu Lu'an treat him equally.
The two brothers continued to hold technical positions.
Tang Fei can appropriately favor the development of administrative positions.
The main reason is that I can trust him, and some people need to take care of all the big and small things in the future.
Tang Fei shouted Mr. Li all the way, even though Li Qin said that he didn't need to do this in private, he was still very persistent: "Public to public, private to private, otherwise bad habits will be formed, and it will be not good to come out to work with you in the future."
Li Qin had to let him go, and he felt very comfortable.
Not to mention anything else, at least Tang Fei is grateful and does not think that supporting him is justified.
Have a date with Aiken at his residence.
It is not as luxurious as Reynard or Rowan, but just an apartment building. He rented half a floor and was also a luxury house. The decoration was bright and generous, and he could overlook this misty town at night.
It's dinner time.
Aiken's wife cooks and entertains her. She also has a high school daughter. She is not very beautiful but looks very well-behaved. She wears black-framed glasses and is a little afraid of being angry. If she takes off her glasses and dresses up, she is also a little beauty.
Aiken smiled bitterly and said, "Poppy has been introverted since he was a child. Maybe I was too busy with work and neglected her."
"Oh, dad, it's okay, I'm actually fine."
The family of three is having a happy time.
Li Qin also smiled.
Love?
Love is a good thing.
If you want to back-punch me in the future, do I know where to go to cause trouble?
Li Qin didn't think this was psychological darkness, because Aiken, who was smiling on the surface, couldn't tell how to plot against him in his heart.
Aiken is not a kind person, and his work nature has prevented him from having extra kindness, not to mention the face he exposed when he misappropriated the detained plane, which made Li Qin deeply hate.
But the old saying is well said.
There are no eternal enemies in the world.
Renard repaired his relationship for the two, who would have thought that Renard was thrown out of the small circle, but Aiken was included.
Both sides did not discuss business.
Only Li Qin was here to have a dinner party. Tang Fei and Rachel found a restaurant to rest.
What I talked about was nothing more than family matters. Aiken still praised Li Qin very much, and talked about the Cannet Grid project.
After a meal.
The two went to Aiken's study, each carrying a glass of red wine.
When Li Qin came, he brought him a gift, a box of expensive cigars. After the two lit it, they sucked the clouds and blew up. Aiken talked about some 'small appeals': "I didn't expect Rowan's retirement... Louis has a good relationship with you? Since the year before, we applied for an increase in funding. Renard helped at the beginning, but was stuck in the election stage. No member of the congressman in various regions made a statement, and the people did not support FBI to get more funding."
"You want me to speak for you?"
Aiken smiled and said, "No, it's enough for you to recommend Louis to me. Although we have seen him, he is a newcomer and acts very cautiously, and..."
"You should know that Renard is divorced, right? Louis should have to show some strength when he takes office, otherwise he will be looked down upon."
Li Qin's eyes became deeper: "Do you want to expose this? Use this as a bargaining chip to please Louis? You and Renard are friends."
"But unfortunately, we are friends now. Because of your relationship with Rethia, I certainly prefer to support the House of Representatives. Renard's failure over the past year has caused dissatisfaction among the majority leaders."
"Why burn a fire for him, what do you think?"
Li Qin felt it was unnecessary: "What about the benefits of provoking war? I don't want Cannet to encounter resistance from the majority again. Now is a period of peaceful development, isn't it?"
"Of course, if you want to know Louis, I will help you, but I don't care about other things, it doesn't matter what you want."
These words are ambiguous.
However, Aiken understood.
It can be done or not, probably it can be done.
I can't get anything if I don't do it, but I can see Reynard being defeated.
This guy Li is really sinister. What a villain who lets him be the one?
But it doesn't matter. This news is no longer a secret. A marriage-related news will at most disgusting Renard, not to mention that he knows where the news leaked?
After the two of them finished drinking, Li Qin said goodbye.
Before leaving, let Rachel and Tang Fei come to pick him up in advance.
After receiving a text message, Li Qin went downstairs to meet with the two.
Rachel said: "It's still early, you can take the night flight to the Bay Area. Now it's time to rush to Portland Airport."
Li Qin was silent for a while and waved his hand to let Rachel not rush to book tickets, but took out his disposable phone and dialed it out: "Where are you?"
Helena's voice came: "Portland, I will go back to Eugene tomorrow. I have something to talk to you."
"That happens, I'm going to Portland, you come to the airport to see me."
"good."
Only then did Li Qin say to Rachel: "Come tickets."
Come to Portland Airport.
The two of them checked the ticket first and knew that Li Qin might have handled it in private.
Make an appointment with Helena at a cafe outside the airport.
As the night approached, there were not many customers, and the waiter just hid behind the bar and played with his cell phone quietly.
Helena appeared in a professional suit, which was quite amazing.
She must have been busy all day, and she had just untied her tied hair and was casually dispersed, looking a little messy.
When she sat down, Li Qin joked: "Don't pay attention to the image in front of me?"
Helena blinked: "I'll pay attention next time if you need it."
"Talk the serious business, what do you want me to do?" Li Qin discovered that once these women were oppressed once, they became completely Buddhist and even turned around to make jokes.
Gu Yan
Dolores is like this, and so is Donna.
"Disk n-dian wants to do an interview program and broadcast it on the satellite. Although it is not prime time, there is still streaming media promotion. The host candidate will be a second-tier star."
"There is a thought for me to do it, but there is a requirement that I have to get the interview rights of Woods Louis to record it as the first episode."
"I will go to the first three periods of the guaranteed guarantee. If the effect is good, I will still go to the next one, so I want to try it."
She said, feeling a little nervous.
Fearing that Li would not agree, she had created a character with someone above in front of the branch president.
If the character is now collapsed, the good situation that was opened before will be shaken, and the upper level will re-evaluate her.
Li Qin didn't react much. Louis would not help this, and when he first took office, he would be very happy to have an invitation to interview a big program.
And when the popularity has dropped recently, it will be difficult for the state speaker to get interviews on such a big show.
"Okay, I'll talk to Louis about this. How about answering you within a week? I'm about to go on a business trip to the Bay Area."
"A week? Good!"
Helena said again: "Are you looking for me...is there something else?"
The person who took the initiative to contact was Li, and invited her to the airport to meet.
Li Qin looked around and said straight to the point: "Renard has been divorced for a long time, and someone may be about to break out this news recently... You can prepare in advance."
"Renard? Mr. Senator of the State? Are you sure?" Helena was quite shocked. Of course she knew who Reenard was.
Li Qin said lightly: "Her wife...oh, her ex-wife often eats with me. The shareholder and president of a investment company is his ex-wife's real sister, so do you think I'm really not sure?"
Helena was instantly excited, but after a few seconds he calmed down: "You mean... I can't expose this, just prepare in advance?"
To be continued...
