Chapter 104: Mr. Gu's Invitation
Yuan Xiao found a place to sit down, refused the accosting of the four girls, and continued his great business of replenishing energy.
The steak in front of him began to disappear again, but the original owl's stomach did not have any tendency to bulge.
There were still many undead girls and a few noble ladies with spring faces around, watching Yuan Xiao's eating, thinking about his heroic figure just now, and his heart swayed.
Moreover, they have already obtained the information of this handsome man, and he is not the son of a high-ranking official, but just a male companion brought by Zhuang Ying, the president of "Lianxiao", which means that their chances are great, very big. For this kind of young and handsome man who is not wealthy, these broad ladies and ladies have ten thousand ways to make him go from preferring death to kneeling in front of him and kissing his skirt respectfully.
"Tsk, it seems that the flies around me were scared away today, but it was you who began to attract bees and butterflies~" Zhuang Ying stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around the slender and white neck of the original owl, and looked around as if demonstratively.
The name Zhuang Ying, here in Yuan Xiao, may only mean the little girl who followed behind back then, but for the upper class society of the magic capital, this name means four words - "don't provoke".
is different from her father Zhuang Yixie's elegant and easy-going, Zhuang Ying's first impression on everyone is that you can't tell how she eats without spitting out bones.
From the day she stepped into the business world of the magic capital, the word "benevolence" did not belong to her dictionary, and you couldn't find it if you flipped through it. Why can "Lianxiao" develop so fast? Even if the banker's capital flow is always rushing, but the expansion of the company's scale always takes time, but "Lianxiao" is not, its growth history is a history of blood and tears of a small company in the magic capital. Since Zhuang Ying founded "Lianxiao", she has ruthlessly shown her fangs and sensitive sense of smell, I don't know how many small companies have been collapsed and bankrupt by Zhuang Ying, and they were bought by Zhuang Ying and disassembled into parts and assembled for their own "Lianxiao".
"Love" is like a stitching monster made by Vadris, combining the most perfect parts of countless creatures to create the most terrifying monster. Therefore, "Lianxiao" can develop to such a point in just one year, I don't know how many people are in debt and even ruined because of this, it's not that no one has thought of resisting, and even a small group dedicated to fighting against Zhuang Ying's monopoly has appeared, but in the end they all failed because they were bought by Zhuang Ying internally or the conflict of interest suddenly broke out.
In person, everyone will call Zhuang Ying a "business wizard" and a "magic woman", but in private, they call her a "witch in black" (because Zhuang Ying's favorite thing is black clothes), Zhuang Ying has naturally heard of it, but not only does she feel insulted, but she also considers herself on many occasions, as if she is a warrior who is always proud of herself, never stopping, and never soft-hearted.
"They all look scared of you. Yuan Xiao didn't look up, still concentrating on eating meat.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhuang Ying immediately changed her face and sat down beside Yuan Xiao pitifully, rubbing her little hands crossed, looking like a child who had done something wrong. "People aren't scary, it's because they have bad intentions towards your brother, so they are so weak-hearted. Zhuang Ying lowered her head and said pitifully, if others saw this "black witch" so delicate, it was estimated that they would be scared to the point of a nervous breakdown.
"When did you find out?" Yuan Xiao naturally asked about discovering his identity. As for Zhuang Ying's coquettish attacks, she has already experienced too many times in the eight years she has been acting with her, although there are still some fluctuations, but they can be completely suppressed.
"After the opening ceremony that day, I vaguely guessed it. Zhuang Ying lay on the table, cushioned her chin with her lotus root arm and muttered, "Then I went to the third child to confirm, and sure enough, I guessed that it was my brother." ”
"This loose-mouthed guy. "Yuan Xiao supported his forehead, although he knew that Qin Yan would have to say it sooner or later, but he didn't expect to confess so happily.
"Oh, brother, don't blame the third brother, he's afraid of me~" Zhuang Ying no longer pretended to be pitiful, and showed a little fox-like smile, "Moreover, Ying Ying has nothing to do with her bad brother, but she is good." ”
Yuan Xiao sighed, turned his head to look at this former subordinate who had become a great beauty, and couldn't get angry.
He put the last piece of beef into his mouth, Zhuang Ying immediately handed over the napkin with color, Yuan Xiao took it silently and wiped it, and said: "I didn't want to lie to you, girl, but there are some things I don't want you to get involved, you are impulsive, and you are unwilling to give up, and I am most worried about you among the three people." ”
"Oops, brother. Zhuang Ying gently shook Yuan Xiao's arm and said coquettishly, "People are no longer children, so they naturally know how to measure." And that's not a valid reason for my brother to lie to me. ”
Yuan Xiao coughed lightly twice, hiding his embarrassment, which caused Zhuang Ying to laugh with a trembling smile, and he couldn't help but sigh that the little girl's development was getting better and better......
"Let's get down to business, what do you think of today's events. Yuan Xiao stopped eating, looked at Zhuang Ying intently, and asked, "I feel very strange, from the fight to the end, there is a feeling of grievance everywhere." I naturally understand the idea that you asked me to come forward, and I will indeed need some power in this circle, but now it seems that there are people behind the scenes who are also watching this game. ”
Zhuang Ying also put away her laughter, nodded seriously, and said her analysis: "Yes, brother." Today, I originally wanted to simply let you show your face in the rotten circle of the magic capital, and make trouble as much as you wanted, and then I will come forward and bring you in, and everything will be easy to say. But Sophie's appearance made everything under their control, and after today, people will only know that the original owl was protected by Sophie. ”
Zhuang Ying subconsciously knocked on the table rhythmically, this is a small habit when she thinks, it is easy to expose her identity when she is pointed out by Yuan Xiao, so she changed it for a while, but now it seems that she has picked it up again.
"Sophie, how much do you know?" asked Yuan Xiao after taking a sip of white water.
"This club is only part of Sophie's huge industrial chain, my father once mentioned to me that only 10% of Sophies have surfaced, and the behemoth under the surface of the water is not something that a certain family or a certain force can touch. Zhuang Ying naturally didn't have any concern for the original owl, and could give one hundred and twenty percent trust, "But brother, you also know, I will definitely be curious to investigate, but I get very little information, only know that the power behind Sophie has lasted for at least a few hundred years, Freemasonry, foundations, and all kinds of weird popes are involved, and Sophie is behind many historical events." ”
"Don't look any further. Yuan Xiao said solemnly, "This matter is over, I will definitely look for you if I need your help in the future, but don't touch everything about Sophie." ”
Zhuang Ying returned to her delicate state again, and replied softly, "Yes, brother." ”
At this time, Yuan Xiao felt a gaze, suddenly looked up, and sure enough, he saw Mr. Gu smiling and standing on the terrace on the second floor, waving at Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao was just about to get up, but he felt a burst of warmth in his hand, and looked down to see that it was Zhuang Ying who held his hand tightly and shook his head lightly.
Yuan Xiao reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, gave Zhuang Ying a reassuring smile, patted her hand, broke free and walked upstairs.
