It only takes four streets from the city center to Albert''s villa, and it only takes 15 minutes at the busiest time of the city. He is very satisfied with where he lives now. Being closer to where he works means that he can allocate more time.


    Sometimes the traffic in the city will be particularly congested, but even so, his driver will not change the route, which has almost become a habit. Therefore, when the vehicle turns at an intersection, he immediately realizes that the vehicle has left the normal route.


    "Didn''t you notice just now, sir? The radio said that there was a traffic accident ahead, the road was temporarily closed, and we need to change the driving route.", the driver replied in great detail, but he always made Albert feel that there seemed to be something abnormal in his tone.


    Maybe he is too sensitive. After Du Lin came to the Federation, he always had a bad rest. Every time when his work is over, he can''t help thinking about the future. Once all the things here are lost, he will become his past self, terrible self.


    From the head of a consortium, a federal congressman, to an ordinary person. Maybe he will have a little money enough for him to live a rich life, but those things are more than thousands of times, tens of thousands of times different from what he has now? People will no longer respectfully call him Mr. congressman, and no one will shut up and listen to his opinions when he speaks. He will become dispensable and revolve around others.


    All this is like a nightmare. I don''t know when the nightmare will wake up.


    He wiped his face twice and took out a document from his briefcase, which was submitted by a chemical plant under the Atlantic group. In addition to internal sales, this chemical plant also has many products exported to all over the world, and its performance has been very good. In terms of profitability, it has entered the top three levels of the group company.


    This document explained in detail the reasons for expansion, the necessity of expansion and the reasons for urgent needs. He considered for a while. The expansion fund of 20 million federal guilders is indeed a little more, but the problem is not big. Now the working capital on the book of the group company is still very abundant, and its control over the shares of various listed companies is also exceeded. He took out his pen and signed his name on the document. He approved the document, sent it back to the company''s finance department tomorrow to withdraw the money, and finally stored it in the archives department for safekeeping.


    When he put the documents back in his briefcase and looked up out of the window, a palpitation made him cold and tremble for a moment.


    Unknowingly, the car has left the urban area, there are fewer and fewer places with light around, the height of buildings is also declining, there are few pedestrians in the street, and many street lamps are broken.


    Any city has both good and bad sides. The rapid explosive and centralized development of the city will make the city seem to be divided into many blocks. In some places, even a needle can''t get in, but in some places, it''s the same as it was ten, twenty or thirty years ago.


    "Where is this? Why did you bring me here?!" he had never doubted the driver before. The driver was recruited by himself. At first, Doolin arranged a driver for him, but the driver was dismissed by him for a reason. Now he found all the people around him on the federal side.


    The driver used to be a federal soldier. After he retired, he applied. Among dozens of people, Albert chose this guy. He has also been to the driver''s home and met the driver''s parents, wife and children. He may know more about his family than himself. Moreover, in recent years, the driver has indeed performed enough due diligence and never missed anything, which is also Albert''s most satisfied place.


    But now, a bad panic spread in his heart. He even noticed that the tan bulletproof glass used to maintain privacy between the carriage and the cab had risen, and he couldn''t see the situation in the cab!


    Without waiting for the driver to answer, he pulled the door lock, couldn''t move, and hit it twice. The door didn''t shake at all except for the dull sound.


    This is a bulletproof car. On the surface, the public security of the Federation looks very good. In fact, there are no less dirty things between large consortia than the Empire, or even worse. In the past, a total of 11 members proposed to abolish the lifetime system of speaker. Among them, four members died on the streets for various reluctant reasons, and seven members also received death threats. These people either emigrated abroad or disappeared and hid. Therefore, almost all members of Parliament and big figures in consortia have several customized bulletproof vehicles.


    Stimulated by the desire to struggle for survival, he tried many methods without success. He was completely disappointed.


    "Who are you?" he asked, knocking on the tan bulletproof glass.


    The driver smiled twice. "Don''t be nervous, sir. You''ll know soon."


    In the silence, minutes and seconds passed. About ten minutes later, the car stopped by a farm warehouse. The driver opened the car lock. Albert pushed open the door like a dark field, but he was sent back by a fist.


    "You shouldn''t run around, boss is waiting for you!" said a burly man, pushing his shoulder and pointing to the small house with lights next to the barn. Albert looked around in despair. Except for the occasional sound of cattle and insects, there were no people nearby.


    He tidied up his clothes and walked towards the small house. After entering the door, he was in the hall. At the open kitchen table next to the hall, he saw a guy with his back to himself. The man next to him pointed to the position and he walked over.


    When he walked around to the other side of the table, he found that the man who was eating with his head down was Dooling!


    Durin looked up at him for a while, and the action in his hand didn''t stop. A huge cow stick bone cut from it was roasted and laid across the table, one by one like jelly, and the bone marrow sprinkled with a lot of spices exuded an attractive fragrance. He scooped a spoon with a spoon, put it in the meal bag, took some lettuce leaves and some other things, and then bit it down. The oily bone marrow flows out slowly from the bite incision, emitting a strong aroma and making people move their fingers.


    "It tastes good. Do you need some?" Turing pointed to the position opposite him and motioned Albert to sit down. "The heigens cattle in the Federation are better than those in the Empire. I think we can introduce some to the West for breeding. Such delicious things should appear on the dining table of the upper class of the Empire."


    A cook like guy also sent Albert a cut stick bone and other catering materials.
