Chapter 156: Miss She Was Kidnapped
It was Lowell, the Imperial Secretary of Commerce, the youngest Minister of Commerce in the history of Imperial politics and the most contender for the next president.
Luo Wei himself has nothing to do with the Luo family, but his father once had a little friendship with Luo Yichen's grandfather.
Speaking of which, his relationship with the Xu family is closer. According to Anne Hui, they seem to be some kind of distant relatives who have been abducted for generations.
The Xu Luo family originally had no contact, but Xu Annie's father was more clever, and as soon as Luo Wei became the Minister of Commerce of the Empire, he often went to the Luo family.
Although Luo Wei knew that Xu Kangnian was dealing with him for the benefit of the business field, he did not reject him and was always polite. So the relationship between the two families was tied up again.
This is also the reason why Luo Yichen had to bring Xu Annie over to the banquet for Luo Wei today, he invited Luo Wei because of the Xu family's face.
Smiling, shaking hands, nodding and saying hello are all social etiquette that you can't fault with each other.
After sitting down, several people began to talk casually. Because it wasn't a formal banquet, it was all more relaxed.
"Mr. Will, Anne doesn't understand a little, we originally wanted to invite you to dinner at the Hilton Hotel, which is the most famous high-end hotel in the world, and the dishes are exquisite and delicious, why did you choose to come to our Louvre private club in City A?"
"It's quiet. Let's just have a light meal and chat, there is no need to go to such a high-end hotel.
I've been there before, but it was too formal, everyone was very formal, and the food was not interesting. So, this time I chose to come here.
Most of the people who come here are young people, and looking at their energetic appearance, it seems that they have become younger. Besides, this is the property of your Xu Group, isn't it good to come here?"
"Oh, hahahahaha, okay, okay. ”
Xu Annie has not had any conversations with these dignitaries and celebrities, and usually in addition to being coquettish at home, she is outside to commit murder.
Therefore, she couldn't pick up a word of the topic that Lowell threw over, except for pretending to be stupid and laughing a few words. After chatting for a few words, Lowell was reluctant to communicate with Xu Annie.
Luo Yichen seems to fit his eyes very well. After a brief greeting, Luo Wei casually talked about the intersection between his father and the old man of the Luo family, and Luo Yichen received every sentence just right, the tone and order, the words in and out, and the words were almost impermeable.
Luo Wei seemed to be in a good mood, and Luo Yichen talked about the people in the shopping mall from the international political situation, and then talked about the philosophy of life from the market news, and the more they talked, the more they fell in love.
Both of them are people who have been cultivated in this kind of high-end social place for a long time. One is a rising star in the political arena, and the other is a wealthy nobleman, chatting and chatting, there is a little bit of a sense of heroes cherishing heroes.
Before leaving, Luo Yichen found an excuse to break Xu Annie away, and then insisted on sending Luo Wei to the car.
"Young man, if you have something, tell me straight. ”
"You see that?"
Lowell smiled, as if he wasn't going to answer Luo Yichen's question head-on.
"Xu Kangnian and his wife are good at everything, but they haven't raised a good daughter. ”
"Makes you smile. ”
"I know it's not convenient for you to talk today, so let's go to the cold house for a drink or two the day after tomorrow. How?"
"Mr. Will deigns to be loved, and he will definitely come to visit him in his later years. ”
"You're welcome. ”
Looking at the slowly moving car, Luo Yichen's heart gradually became more steady.
That's right, he just wants to borrow Rowell's hand to make the Luoshi Group jump into the current predicament.
He knew that the Empire had recently prepared to support the construction of a number of new railroads and buildings in Third World countries, which was a huge project.
Moreover, it is a business with money from the state, large funds, high profits, and steady profits.
As long as you win this big project, it is equivalent to having the funds and connections of the entire empire as a backing. He doesn't have to rely on the Xu Group, nor does he have to endure Xu Annie's unreasonable troubles, and he doesn't have to worry about people saying that he messed up the country that his grandfather had laid down.
Now, Lowell is the key man in winning the project. Since he opened his mouth to invite himself to his house, it proved that he had a good chance in this matter.
However, the other chaebols in the empire are not stupid, Luo Yichen knows the news, and the others must also know, maybe they are all rushing to visit Lowell.
Other chaebols, Luo Yichen is not worried, and now he is most worried about Xu Kangnian.
Once Xu Kangnian wins this project, the comprehensive strength of the Xu Group will far exceed that of the Luoshi Group, and at that time, I am afraid that there will be no room for him and Xu Annie to return the matter.
"Brother Echen, what are you thinking? Mr. Will is gone?"
"Well, just left. ”
"He seems to be quite close to you. ”
"But he just told me that he still likes to be as mature as your father
people talking. ”
"Yes, I see my dad went to visit him the day before yesterday and came back not long after. ”
Sure enough, Xu Kangnian's old fox had already visited Mr. Weir.
The day before yesterday, Xu Kangnian specially changed into ski equipment, saying that he was going to ski in the north, and it turned out that he secretly visited Mr. Weir.
Hmph, what is the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, it turns out that he is still guarding against him in private. Fortunately, he had just deceived Xu Annie, otherwise, he would not have known Xu Kangnian's itinerary.
"Oh, maybe your dad is busy. ”
"Yes, he seems to be planning some kind of project lately, and he does look quite busy. ”
"Oh, then you're going to take care of him. Anyway, now that we're familiar with Mr. Will, it's the same to make an appointment with them later. ”
"Well, that's right. ”
"Then you pay more attention to his itinerary when you are at home, and we will create a big surprise for your father when the time comes. ”
"Yes, if we secretly help him make an appointment with Mr. Will, he will be very happy to know it. ”
"Hmm. ”
Xu Annie said happily, babbling about Xu Kangnian's reaction after receiving this surprise.
Luo Yichen looked sideways at Xu Annie, who was chattering, and for the first time felt that it was not a bad thing for girls to be stupid.
In the evening, Xu Annie used various excuses such as delivering milk, beating her back, chatting and talking in and out of Yu Xu Kangnian's study, coupled with her skillful eavesdropping methods, she easily figured out all of Xu Kangnian's recent schedules.
"Hey, Brother Yichen, I don't think we can give Dad this surprise. ”
"Huh?"
"He's made an appointment with Mr. Will to see you tomorrow. ”
"Oh, it's okay, we'll surprise him later. ”
Xu Kangnian will go to see Will tomorrow, and Luo Yichen will only see him the day after tomorrow, so Xu Kangnian is likely to take the lead, after all, the two of them still have a little kinship with the eighteen bends of the mountain road.
It is said that the buildings near the water get the moon first, and the flowers and trees in the sun are easy to spring. Judging from the current situation, Luo Yichen's situation is very passive.
No, this opportunity must not be missed. Fortunately, he still has the trump card of Xu Annie in his hand, which is the baby bump on the lobes of Xu Kangnian and his wife's heart. For them, no matter how big the project is, it shouldn't be as important as their daughter.
Luo Yichen put down the phone, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked. It seems that such a smile has not appeared in a long time.
In the early morning, the birds in the Xu family villa are singing and flowers, and it is a vibrant and peaceful scene.
Tian Xinmei took the milk and gave it to Xu Kangnian, who was reading the newspaper.
"Isn't my lord going to visit Mr. Will today? It's almost eight o'clock, why are you still reading the newspaper here?"
"Yes, Mr. Will is going to visit, but the newspapers are also to be read.
I like two things most in my life, one is to read the newspaper, and the other is to make my baby Anne laugh.
By the way, what about Annie, why don't you come down for breakfast at this time?"
"She went out early in the morning, saying that she had asked a friend to go hiking. ”
"Well, it's rare that she can get up so early. The weather is good today for climbing. ”
A rapid ringing of the phone interrupted the conversation between the two men, and the butler was so frightened that he almost fell down.
"Old ...... Sir, Madame, Miss She ...... She's been kidnapped!"
