Chapter 506: Dinner
When leaving the manor, the Cyaddeus housekeeper prepared a black Mercedes Benz for the two of them, and quietly left through the side door of the manor, without alarming any media reporters.
Since it was a private trip, Jiang Chen didn't bring the four bodyguards of the Star Ring Trade. On the one hand, it is out of confidence in his own strength, and on the other hand, he feels that it is a bit unpleasant to follow the four men in suits when he is traveling in the mountains and rivers.
Throughout the day, Jiang Chen took Aisha to visit the attractions in Bavaria. From Neuschwanstein Castle to Lake Alps, the duo left their footprints along the way. It wasn't until the sky turned yellow that the two ended their trip with a camera full of photos.
Looking at the tired and excited flush that dotted the girl's cheeks, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile heartily.
"Did you have a good day?"
"Hmm!" Aisha nodded briskly.
On that cold pretty face, there was a rare appearance of the vitality that she should have at this age.
The corners of his mouth curved, Jiang Chen held the steering wheel and drove the car onto the country road.
As far as the eye can see, there is a golden wave of wheat. The skyline is connected with the dusk sunset and the mountains stacked on top of each other, and it looks magnificent and poetic under the flame-like clouds.
Speaking of which, it's late autumn. If it's the wasteland, I'm afraid it's snowing at the moment.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Aisha, who was sitting in the passenger seat, raised the camera in her hand and filmed this beautiful scene.
Seeing that there was still time, Jiang Chen took a long detour. Continue along the country road.
Suddenly, the front opened up.
At the end of the wheat lang is a sparsely lit town. At the junction of the jungle is a "small city" isolated by iron nets. People in ragged clothes gather together, or look at the sky in a daze, or take care of their families with yellow faces and thin muscles. At the entrance to the camp, more than a dozen staff and police officers gathered around several vans and distributed essential water and food to them.
"They are ......"
With a camera in her arms, Aisha looked at the distant fence.
"Homeless. Or refugees. Most of them have left their homes because of the war, most of them are from Libya, or Syria - "Speaking of which. Jiang Chen stopped suddenly.
It dawned on him that it was her hometown.
It must be a terrible feeling to watch people in their hometowns be displaced.
Sighing, Jiang Chen didn't comfort her much. Prepare to speed up this stretch of road.

However, the girl raised the camera in her hand. Leave that scene in the camera.
"I don't think it...... Hmm, is it uncomfortable?" Jiang Chen pondered his words.
Aisha nodded, but then shook her head again.
"Thank you. β
"Huh?"
Jiang Chen looked at Aisha in confusion.
I saw her head down, a nostalgic smile on the corner of her mouth, and her slender index finger rubbing unconsciously on the shutter of the camera.
"If I didn't meet you...... I probably won't even be able to get there. β
Recalling the past, although she occasionally encounters danger, more often, what she feels is the warmth of that home. He didn't treat her rudely because of who she was. It's always been so gentle.
So much so that sometimes, she even forgets that memory.
"What are you thinking about? Jiang Chen grinned. With his free right hand, he vigorously ruffled her hair.
"Nothing. β
Shaking her head, Aisha held the camera in her arms with a shallow smile on her face.
The girl, gilded by the dusk, seems to be holding a priceless treasure.
β¦β¦
Back at the Rothschild estate, it was almost six o'clock.
When the two arrived, Butler Thaddeus was waiting at the door of the side gate of the manor.
There was still an hour before the banquet began, and although Jiang Chen felt that the time left for him was quite generous, the strict old butler didn't seem to think so.
The dress for the banquet was prepared by Rothschild's people, because Jiang Chen had not heard about this banquet before he came, so he did not bring a proper dress. As for Aisha, she went back to her room to rest first, and she didn't seem to be good at this kind of banquet.
After being surrounded by several serious-looking maids for a while, Jiang Chen appeared at the door of the venue before the banquet began.
"Well, yes, it looks like it fits you perfectly. β
Standing at the door of the venue, Carmen said to Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Thank you. Jiang Chen smiled and entered the venue with him.
The circular venue is decorated with a golden decoration, and diamond-like chandeliers adorn the dome of the venue. Celebrities from all walks of life gather here, ladies and ladies talk to each other, and waiters with champagne shuttle between various social circles.
Most of the people who are eligible to attend this dinner are financial tycoons or industrial tycoons, or European political tycoons. Because he was "outside the circle", Jiang Chen didn't see a familiar face among these people.
It's just that I don't know if it's his delusion, the moment he and Carmen walked into the hall of the venue, at least dozens of eyes fell on him, intentionally or unintentionally.
"The Rothschilds are most proud not of our assets, but of our connections. Many of the guests here are major shareholders of several listed companies with a market value of 100 billion euros, and many of them have been presidents or vice presidents of a certain country, but their friendship is more or less related to us. The cooperation projects reached in such a banquet are in no way inferior to any international economic summit, and such a banquet is held every few months. You're here at the right time, and I can introduce you to a few interesting people. β
Carmen bared her white teeth, smiled and opened her hands to meet the red-haired man who was walking towards him.
"Long time no see, Carmen, my old friend. β
"Haha, old man, it's been a long time. Let me introduce to you, this is Jiang Chen. Carmen deftly introduced herself to her old friend.
The red-haired man even showed a look of surprise, and immediately smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"Fortunately, Mr. Jiang Chen, I am very impressed by your company's phantom helmet. It's a pity, though, that your Arena Experience Server is only open to level 10 battles. I'm looking forward to the day when the game will be officially launched. My name is Peter McLaine, and you can call me Peter. β
Holding Peter's hand and shaking it up and down, Jiang Chen also smiled and said.
"Nice to meet you, Peter. I believe that when that day comes, it will not disappoint you. β
Peter McClane, chairman of the British company Guardian, the second largest data backup equipment company in Europe, and an old enemy of IBM. Carmen added to Jiang Chen in a joking tone.
"Please don't make fun of me," Peter said, with a helpless expression, "Why don't we have some champagne to cheer up?"
Affected by language and other factors, European Internet companies are congenitally stunted, although Guardian is living a good life because of the support of British military orders, but now IBM obviously does not take this old enemy who can not be called an opponent to heart.
"Good idea. Carmen laughed, "For this dinner, I have brought out the most mellow red wine from the Bavarian winery, so please be welcome." β
On the long table in the venue, a row of crystal glasses were neatly displayed, and the waiter politely poured Jiang Chen a glass of mellow red wine.
Just when Jiang Chen was thinking about whether to find a circle that looked "useful" to join, a middle-aged man with a beer belly took the initiative to walk over to him with a smile.
He was followed by a young blonde woman.
"You must be Mr. Jiang Chen, am I right?" (To be continued.) )
PS: At the beginning of the month, I owed nine watches, and I have always been very disciplined, hehe. Let's pay back the three watches first, counting the two watches guaranteed, and the five watches will break out today!
