Chapter 709: The Soul Is Not in Three (In Case)
Chapter 709: The Soul Is Not in Three
Morning.
The British Peninsula.
The gloomy weather was a bit oppressive, and it seemed like rain would fall at any moment.
The small town of Conswitine, outside a large villa.
Herbert was walking around with his puppy, his eyes looking to the end of the town's road from time to time.
The scale of the town is not large, the population is not large, and there are few pedestrians on the street at this point in time, so it is said that it is a small town, but in fact there are not as many people as a small village in China.
One of the advantages of fewer people is that they are pure, people know each other, and occasionally the old lady and grandfather next door pass by, and they will shout enthusiastically. "Hey, little Bert, I'm bringing your little Sally out to play today. ”’
Herbert is not young, and he is still called small by these people, and he is also very helpless, who makes their generation indeed older than him.
Absentmindedly shouted the other party's name, said hello perfunctorily, and continued to walk with the puppy to the main road at the entrance of the town.
The cars that deliver the parcels come from this place.
Three days ago, Wu Yingjie, the former secretary, called him, saying that four days ago, he mailed him a pastry from Desheng Building, the Pearl of the Orient.
That's his favorite food, although he is an authentic British, but the life in the Pearl of the Orient in the past few years has made his stomach almost become a Chinese stomach.
I like Chinese food, I like Chinese pastries and snacks, and when I just returned here, I was so hungry that it was worse than death.
British food is really not eaten by people, and he doesn't know how he grew up and survived by eating such things for so many years before.
It's really unpalatable, and it's a realistic route, and there is no such thing as a full range of color and flavor.
His wife also followed her, and she also lived in the Pearl of the Orient for a period of time, and she would also cook some simple Chinese dishes.
It's a pity that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, how can her wife, a relatively clumsy woman, cook authentic Chinese dishes.
Sometimes, when it's really sad, the two of them will drive to the big city to find a Chinese restaurant and make a little tooth sacrifice.
However, although it is also a Chinese-owned restaurant, the same dish is always less flavorful.
I feel deeply inauthentic.
For this reason, he had great expectations for the pastries and semi-finished ingredients that Wu Yingjie mailed him.
Calculating the time, this air package is almost these two days.
There was a light rain in the sky, and after a while it became foggy, and the experienced Herbert, leading his little Sally, into a small pavilion to shelter from the rain.
In front of me, there is a main traffic road, and from time to time there are cars passing at high speed, bringing a burst of air friction sound.
In the distance, a yellow marked courier van passed by, but unfortunately, the speed did not decrease, and it did not turn into the small town's path.
Herbert said disappointedly, "Let's go, little Sally, it's not here today." ”
Just like a child who didn't receive candy, he was so depressed that he didn't even hide from the rain.
One person and one dog, let the foggy drizzle, fall on the body, lonely.
"Didi!" a crisp car horn sounded.
It turned out that Herbert, who was in a bad mood, kept walking in the middle of the road, blocking the route of the vehicle.
didn't turn his head, didn't turn around, and under the leadership of little Sally, he silently walked to the side and got out of the way.
A black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove slowly past him.
Herbert, who was absent-minded just now, "the soul is not in three", suddenly showed surprise.
This car, priced at about a million pounds, is not visible on the streets even in England, and people who do not have certain financial resources and status can not afford to sit in a car of this grade.
Herbert is not curious about cars, although he does not have a car of this grade in his garage, but he used to be the vice president, and this kind of car is often sitting.
He was curious about the people in the car, and he didn't know which dignitaries would brave the light rain and suddenly drive to their town.
There are dozens of families in the town, and Herbert basically knows the roots of their families, and no one has such capital.
The calm Rolls-Royce slowly stopped on the side of the road in front of him amid Herbert's doubts.
In the breeze and drizzle, the dark yellow double jump lights are particularly dazzling.
Although the rain was light, Herbert's hair was already wet, and he touched the cold rain on his face.
Silently walked past the side of the Rolls-Royce, seemingly distracted, but all the afterglow swept towards the car.
However, through the deep black glass, it is impossible to see the inside of the car.
Suddenly, the co-pilot's door opened, and before he could react, a large black umbrella suddenly appeared above his head to shield him from the wind and rain.
An Oriental face appeared in front of his eyes, and although Herbert was not familiar with it, he knew it, and shouted in surprise: "Mr. Jun, why are you?"
After a short period of surprise, he immediately became excited, staring at the back door of the Rolls-Royce with bright eyes, and shouted excitedly: "Is Mr. Chu in the car? Is he coming to England?"
Although he is not familiar with the army, he is Chu Qiankun's personal bodyguard, and the bodyguard appeared, indicating that the main owner was in the car.
Junzi, who had a cold expression, smiled slightly and opened the car door.
"Herbert, long time no see!" a familiar, young face appeared in front of Herbert's eyes.
Wicked smile as always.
"Ah, Chu, ah, it's really you. Why are you here? Are you here for tourism? or do you have business to discuss?"
Herbert was a little agitated and a little incoherent.
"Do you think I'm going to travel to this hellish place?
One inside the car, one outside the car, it was not convenient to talk, so Chu Qiankun got out of the car.
Wu Yingjie, who was sitting on the other side, hurriedly got out of the car, and it was also a Rolls-Royce exclusive big black umbrella, propped up on top of Chu Qiankun's head.
Although he used to be Herbert's secretary, now the identities of the two are different, and Wu Yingjie greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Herbert, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Oh my God, you're here too. You are ......."
Herbert was still thinking about the pastries in Desheng Lou mailed by Wu Yingjie, but the package didn't arrive, but the person who sent the package arrived in front of him first.
Herbert was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
"Of course we came to see you on purpose, otherwise I took a plane for more than ten hours, and what did I do by car all the way here this morning?"
Chu Qiankun opened his hands and gave Herbert a big hug, not caring about the rain on his body at all.
Yesterday morning, they set off from the Pearl of the Orient and landed at London Heathrow Airport after more than a dozen hours of turbulence in the air, followed by a long security crossing.
This time, Chu Qiankun finally realized the service efficiency of the British gentleman, and he was stunned to send an uncle to them in his heart.
Grinding, procrastinating, unhurried.
If it is changed to China, the same process and project can save at least two-fifths of the time.
The empire that never sets for a hundred years is declining day by day, and even completely reduced to the younger brother of the United States.
I'm afraid this attitude of doing things is also one of the important reasons.
The flight time in the air, plus the security check time at both ends, etc., by the time Chu Qiankun and the others arrived at the hotel, it was already night.
The seven-hour time difference is in vain, and there is no advantage at all.
The exhausted three of them hastily ate something in the hotel and began to sleep hard.
This morning, the luxury Rolls-Royce, which rented the hotel, finally arrived in the town where Herbert was located after three hours of smooth driving by a full-time driver.
The address of the town, of course, was also known by Wu Yingjie from Herbert in the name of mailing the package.
Chu Qiankun's generous hug made Herbert very embarrassed, and he quickly let go of the way as soon as he touched it, after all, he was covered in rain.
didn't care, Chu Qiankun continued to laugh and said, "How is it, surprised, surprised?"
Nonsense, of course surprised, of course unexpected.
There is an ancient Chinese saying, and friends come from afar!
Chu Qiankun was able to travel thousands of miles and go to his hometown to come to his hometown and make a special trip to see him, of course Herbert was happy.
The previous drizzle slowly turned into light rain and gradually became heavier.
Although Herbert was excited, he also knew that it was not suitable to chat in such an environment at this time, so he invited him: "Let's go, go and sit at home, it's getting heavier and heavier outside." ”
Chu Qiankun thought so.
The rainfall is actually quite good, mainly because the slanting wind blows and blows the rain onto the body, which is strange and uncomfortable.
So, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the inside of the car and said, "Let's get in the car first, let's take the car over." ”
This model of Rolls-Royce does not have an armrest in the middle, so it is more than enough for three people to sit in the back.
Herbert smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, that's my house, let's just walk over." ”
Luck is so good, it turned out that the car was parked next to Herbert's house, and it was indeed more convenient to walk to his house at most ten meters.
Chu Qiankun smiled happily, closed the car door, took the umbrella in the hands of the soldiers, and admonished: "Let's go over first, you and the driver will move the things off the car." ”
Chu Qiankun and Herbert held an umbrella together, in the front, Wu Yingjie had an umbrella for one person, and in the back, Xiao Sally circled around the three of them.
"Isn't Madame at home?" When Herbert changed into clean clothes and reappeared in the living room, Chu Qiankun asked strangely.
From the time he entered the door and sat down, to the time Herbert went upstairs to change his clothes and go downstairs again, he did not see the hostess come out.
Teresa went to see her son at school and stayed at her sister's house for a few days. I've been single this week. ”
As the sole owner of the house, Herbert began to serve tea and pour water.
Chu Qiankun was lucky to drink the authentic Da Hong Robe at Herbert's house.
After some small talk, Herbert asked Wu Yingjie, "Didn't you say to send me something? Why didn't the package arrive, but you arrived first." ”
In his heart, he was still thinking about the pastries in Desheng Building.
At this time, Junzi happened to walk in with a cardboard box, Wu Yingjie got up with a smile, walked to the edge of the box and said, "The package has also arrived, your favorite thing is inside." Would you like to try it first?"
"Oh, Wu, you're amazing. I can't wait. ”
After a few days of waiting, his wish was finally granted, and Herbert once again showed his childlike nature.
But unlike before, now he is excited, like a child who has gotten candy, dancing to find the scissors and opening the box neatly.
Tasting the long-lost pastry, Herbert actually shed tears of happiness.
Chu Qiankun and Wu Yingjie looked at each other and smiled, how much this authentic British man likes domestic food.
Chu Qiankun was a little surprised, he didn't expect Herbert to have such a big reaction.
So he asked: "Mr. Herbert, since you like Huaxia so much, and you like Huaxia things so much, why don't you return to Huaxia and return to the Pearl of the Orient?"
