Chapter 1045: The Former Agent Who Fell to the Roof (Big Chapter)

"Treason? Damn it, Richard, you have to apologize to me. This word is too serious, and since when did I belong to Mrs. Zipperton? We are just tm's cooperation, why do you talk about betrayal?"

Yang Cheng burst into swearing in a moment of anger, but he didn't know whether it was on purpose or out of feeling.

Richard Debin also calmed down. He knew that yelling would not solve the problem, "I need you to immediately remove the news about Donald and show your sincerity."

When Yang Cheng heard this, he laughed immediately, and immediately agreed, "No problem, I can't withdraw what was posted today, but I promise that tomorrow the news about Tang Lade will completely disappear from all media platforms under my group."

The reason why he agreed so simply and quickly was definitely not because of Richard Durbin's face, or because of Mrs. Zipperton's coercion, it was purely because he felt that he had invested enough resources in Tang Lade at the moment, and then If you pay too much, you will be charged, and there is no need to continue to follow the news. If you see a good deal, just accept it and sell Richard Durbin to save face. Why not do it?

Not to mention, Richard probably was caught in the brain by anger, and he didn't think too much about it. He subconsciously thought it was an accident this time, and his tone became more relaxed, "To be honest, you almost made a big mess this time." .”

Yang Cheng was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

Richard Durbin said in a playful tone, "What can you say? Mrs. Zipperton smashed several beloved antiques angrily. If the people below didn't stop her, she might have done something. You know, women initiated There's no reason to be crazy."

Yang Cheng laughed dryly, then changed the topic, "By the way, the recent water on Wall Street has been muddied by the two of you. Please, can you be gentle?"

Richard Debin didn't take it seriously, and retorted forcefully, "Jason, in fact, Wall Street is the one who makes trouble every time. You are a group of hooligans who want to set up memorial archways even after being a biao."

Yang Cheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, "So what? Everyone complements each other. I just hope that you will be less aggressive when wooing. Do you know how the outside world evaluates Wall Street now? They say we are a bunch of bugs."

Richard Durbin smiled, "Hehe, what's wrong with that? Well, I admit that the attitude of the candidates towards the big banks is distasteful, but like you said, everyone gets what they need, and no one wants it." Look down on anyone."

Yang Cheng was helpless, he couldn't continue talking about this topic, and finally emphasized that he was a businessman, and he would never stop making money if he made money. He believed that Richard Durbin could understand the hidden meaning in the words.

. . . . . .

It’s another winter, and the winter in New York is hated by everyone, whether it’s a Wall Street banker or a homeless man in Brooklyn, no one likes the winter in New York. It’s cold, humid, and the cold wind blowing from the Atlantic from time to time pierces the bone marrow. , even if you wear a thick windbreaker, you can't resist nature's 'molesting' of people.

At this time, Yang Cheng was walking on the street wrapped in a black goose down coat. After leaving the company, he did not choose to return to his warm home. Instead, he came to Tomkins Square Park in the East Village. East Village is what the locals call it. It roughly refers to an area in the east of midtown Manhattan, and there is a corresponding West Village.

Although it is called a village, it is not far behind. At least there are relatively well-known attractions such as Tomkins Park and Union Square, and there are many mid-to-high-end gourmet restaurants. He came here to find someone, and he took the initiative to find someone a few days ago. The former C~I~A agent Donny Fick who came to the door, after he left, Hansen's people followed him, and while investigating whether the background experience was true,

While monitoring his movements.

Not to mention that he actually encountered some interesting things, this is not Yang Cheng personally dispatched, and by the way, he came out to relax. The room is indeed warm, but it will be a bit boring after staying for a long time. After arriving in the East Village, he took the initiative to get out of the car and started walking Anyway, Donny Fick couldn't leave there, Yang Cheng suddenly came here to take a good look at the East Village, and it's been a long time since he came here.

People from other parts of the United States who visit New York have such an accurate description of the two villages in Midtown Manhattan—the West Village in Midtown Manhattan is because they are looking for the filming locations of the American TV series Sex and the City and Friends, while the East Village is because of the reason. in food.

Among them, the filming location of the classic movie "When Harry Met Sally" is located in the East Village. It is also a century-old shop in Manhattan called Katz. The sandwiches in this shop are excellent, and Yang Cheng misses them very much. You must have a mouthful.

Both the East Village and the West Village are in Midtown Manhattan, very close to the Upper East Side, but not far from the Lower East Side. It can be said that this is the representative residence of the American middle class and the so-called birthplace of the American spirit.

The East Village does not have the prosperity and fashion of the lower city, nor does it have the aloofness and luxury of the upper city. On the contrary, it is full of freedom and enthusiasm for life. If you travel all the way from the lower city to the East Village, You will meet various typical American-style apartments with fire escapes.

The apartments here are not like Soho and Little Italy, which are dominated by dark brown and red, but are full of small and fresh collocations, which make the whole block get rid of the heavy and old feeling, and become light and rhythmic. The most important thing is The artistic atmosphere is rich but the warmth of life is not lost.

Yang Cheng wandered recklessly on the streets of the East Village. She seemed to have no goals. She could stop for a while when passing by, which made Hansen and the others confused. Is this for tourism or business?

However, the thoughts of Hansen and others are not within the scope of Yang Cheng's thinking. He enjoys this kind of walking alone today. In front of him is a small restaurant decorated with a Mediterranean blue theme. Looking from the window, there are stools inside. It is also the same blue as the chandelier, and the mood is inexplicably bright after seeing it;

A light pink apartment, although it seems to have a sense of history, but against the blue sky, it is easy to arouse the girlish heart in the subconscious;

The next building is full of local style, and the golden pattern looks different, standing out from the crowd of petty bourgeois apartments, just like the gorgeous lace skirt of a noble lady;

Later, I saw a pure white apartment with a sky blue fire escape. The classic blue and white color scheme is full of fairy tale feeling, especially the light blue fire escape is extremely rare. It is usually black, which shows the quality of this apartment. There is also a little fairy living in the master's heart;

Next, I passed by a small restaurant, which was separated from the street by a small yard. The walls were already occupied by graffiti. The picture should show the street scene of Manhattan. Among them, the Manhattan Bridge is the most recognizable, and the graffiti culture is definitely the East Village. On behalf of it, a black dove stood motionless on the eaves of the porch. If it hadn't suddenly fluttered its wings, anyone would have thought it was a sculpture.

Going around, walking for about half an hour, almost a few kilometers away, and finally came to Katz according to memory, after walking so far, just when the physical strength was close to exhaustion, Yang Cheng felt that it was necessary to eat an extra portion.

Katz's signature delicacy is the beef sandwich. It sounds ordinary, and there are countless restaurants in New York that are famous for making beef sandwiches, but when you go in any time, it is overcrowded, and you know how extraordinary this store is.

When you go in, the waiter will give you a small red note, take it to order, and the chef will make the sandwich you want on the spot. In fact, the production process is very simple, that is, put a large piece of smoked beef Thin slices sandwiched between two slices of toasted bread, and then the guy will write what you ordered on a small note, and finally pay when you leave the store.

Yang Cheng ordered two servings by himself, not to mention the strong men like Hansen and the others who can eat a cow for a meal, they have 30% of the manpower, and they even packed 10% of the food for the road to eat slowly. Day is full and good work!

The thinly sliced ​​beef is soft and tough, and juicy. The meaty aroma can bring the greatest satisfaction. The bread is crispy but not rotten. It seems to be the reason why it is buttered and baked. It is still crispy when bitten. Crisp taste, mouth full of fragrance.

After leaving Katz, after eating and drinking, Yang Cheng sent someone to another century-old shop next door to pack some snacks for supper at night. This shop is famous for its dried fruits and smoked fish. It was founded in 1914 and is still present today. Exactly 101 years.

After asking Hansen, and knowing that Donifick's foothold was nearby, Yang Cheng simply gave up the plan of taking the car and continued to run wild, treating it as a walk to digest food.

A street with many galleries has sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. There is a long row of graffiti walls in an abandoned street park nearby. At the end of the park, beside a tree covered in graffiti, someone is teaching a few children. How to doodle and open the door to new worlds for these young flowers.

Finally, when approaching the destination, Yang Cheng found that he was not far from the Flatiron Building. Starting from the Flatiron, it was Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Unexpectedly, before he knew it, he walked around the East Village and almost returned to the starting point , so that Hansen reminded him in time, otherwise he would really have to go back to the company.

At this moment, he didn't bother to look at the scene, and began to speed up his pace. Hansen was afraid that Yang Cheng would make another detour, so he went straight to the front to lead the way.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour without saying a word, I came to Tomkins Square Park again. The wonderful scenery before suddenly changed, decadence and ruin filled my eyes, and homeless people in bright clothes can be seen everywhere. You must know that it is daytime. At night, the scene will be even more shocking.

But Yang Cheng is not surprised by this. The number of recorded homeless people in New York City is increasing day by day. Many homeless people are invisible. This phenomenon seems to be the norm. Some people even have jobs. But no place to live, this is New York, this is Manhattan, if you can't adapt to such a scene? I'm sorry, maybe you don't fit in Manhattan, go to Brooklyn? There can accommodate you.

There is a fountain in the corner of Tomkins Square Park, which is almost the base of all the homeless. Most of the homeless are homeless, but occasional cleaning is still required. They have no hot water available. The free living water of the fountain is very dependent. You can rinse your mouth and brush your teeth here, and there is a public toilet next to it.

In a blink of an eye, a group of homeless people were sitting on the bench next to the bathroom, listless and completely indifferent to chatting. Among them were tall, silver-haired, and fashionable people. These people may be models on weekdays, but they still earn money. Not enough money to rent an apartment.

From far away, Yang Cheng could smell the smell coming from the bathroom, it was very disgusting, especially after eating the perfect food, and then smelling the smell of expired and rotten shit, it was even more unacceptable, anyway, you don’t need to look to know How messy and messy it is in there, but that doesn't stop homeless people who need a place to shave and change, and if you arrive late you can't even get in the door, and there is a queue in advance.

It sounds unbelievable, but this group of homeless people has a sense of superiority compared to the homeless group in Brooklyn, because they usually hold multiple positions, such as photographers for fashion magazines, models, and extras on film sets, etc. In order to get a job that is not stable, they must decorate their appearance, even if the inside is rotten and ulcerated, the appearance must be glamorous, at least you cannot be seen frowning, if that is the case, I am afraid that they are not eligible to wander in Manhattan up.

This group of homeless men, who look no different from Wall Street white-collar workers, actually earn so little that they cannot afford to rent an apartment. Some may even have been homeless for 5 or 10 years without finding a place to shelter from the wind. As a shelter from the rain, they can only live on the roof at night and put on beautiful clothes during the day.

At this time, Donny Fick was in such an environment. For a former C~I~A agent with countless skills, it seemed a little abnormal, and it sounded absurd to outsiders. Could it be that his agent Is the identity false?

In fact, it is not. According to the investigation results of Hansen and the others, everything Donifick himself said is true. Of course, some information may be slightly exaggerated, but this is all within a reasonable range. If everything is perfect, there will be problems.

The reason why he chose to stay here is entirely to better distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. He has been under the surveillance of C~I~A, and no one knows the style of his former colleagues better than him, and only in such messy conditions In order to better find out who is monitoring him, it is also convenient for him to escape urgently when needed.

Yang Cheng met Donifek on the roof of a 6-story apartment building. Compared with the self-confidence when they met a few days ago, Donifek now looks like a tarnished night pearl, extremely decadent.

Looking at the environment of the roof, dust piled up into snow, all kinds of reinforced concrete bricks were randomly piled up in one corner, and on the other corner of the roof, there was a tent that was obviously set up artificially, and the red and blue waterproof cover was used as the roof, covered by The steel bars tied together to form a triangular bracket stand on both sides, and a pile of cardboard boxes is spread on the ground, covered with a layer of foam plastic, which looks quite soft.

At this moment, Donifick was doing push-ups on the small advice box he made, sweating profusely. He looked over following the sound of the door, and was not surprised at the moment he saw Yang Cheng.
