537 Second Shift: Trouble
(Please look forward to the third update!) )
In the Internet era, the speed of news transmission is undoubtedly extremely fast, like lightning, information is converted into electricity, even if it is once an unreachable spatial distance, it is only between Sumeru. 《
The news of France made the front page of the newspapers the next day, and almost the entire continent became aware of it.
There is a state banquet about French President Jacques Chirac.
Also about that amazing Chinese.
Of course, the young girl dressed up in a unique Chinese-style costume also attracted the attention of many people.
The British Isles, which are separated by a body of water from the European continent, are no exception.
London is a very broad geographical concept, with the entire Greater London area covering more than 1,600 square kilometers, which is roughly the same as the city of Shanghai in China.
So under London, there are actually a lot of urban areas similar to the districts and counties under the Chinese cities, such as the city of Westminster and so on.
And in the suburbs of London's South End.
It's a mixed settlement, not so commercial, more like a suburban satellite town, and it also has a very quiet small town scenery.
At the end of Karolinska Street is a green woodland, while the adjacent town of Bekens is not far away.
On the west side of the town is a large number of mixed settlements, where you can see dense buildings and streets, although the British prefer small houses with a preference for single-family houses.
"Dalena!"
Wei Mingfeng's expression is not very good, it has been nearly two months and almost three months since she came back from China, but she still doesn't know when she will be able to return to China.
Although her elders had settled in England nearly half a century earlier, Wei Mingfeng loved China and the beautiful city.
Her father was an excellent Chinese housekeeper, but is now retired. As the heir to the family, she naturally hopes that one of her two sons and daughters will learn the skills of housekeeping from her.
Dai Lina is Wei Mingfeng's youngest daughter and has no Chinese name.
But it backfired. Whether it's the daughter Delena, or the son Paine? Dey refused to learn from her the skills of a housekeeper. It even caused quite a bit of trouble.
Wei Mingfeng is not the kind of Chinese descendant who has fully integrated into British society, on the contrary, she has learned a lot about China from her ancestors, and she also has an indelible affection for China.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to agree to the intermediary company to go to China to become the housekeeper of the old Zhang family this time.
But her children are different, and as a younger generation, when they grew up, their grandparents were no longer there, and few people told them about China. Naturally, they don't know what China means to them.
Arguably.
By the generation of Delena and Paine, they have been able to fully integrate into British society, except for the appearance of the extremely obvious black hair and black eyes, after three generations of dilution, the blood of the Chinese has been very weak.
Compared with her son Paine, her daughter Delena is not much different from Westerners except for her black hair.
"Huh?"
The girl who spoke was extremely tall, fair-skinned, with deep blue eyes, except for black hair. It is difficult to see the characteristics of the Chinese between the eyebrows and eyes.
Wei Mingfeng's parents are not all Chinese themselves, and she herself is mixed-race, although divorced. But her husband is also of extremely pure British blood, and it is not uncommon for her daughter Dalena to have Chinese blood that is not obvious.
Dai Lina didn't speak Chinese very well, but Wei Mingfeng didn't make any demands on the two children in this regard.
"I'm going to settle in China!"
"Mom, really? Have you really thought it through? ”
There was no surprise on Dalina's face, in fact, she had already guessed the result.
Since the last time Wei Mingfeng came back from China, if it weren't for the fact that Paine and her own affairs have dragged on until now, I'm afraid she would have left England.
Although she is a descendant of Chinese, Wei Mingfeng's living habits are similar to those of the British, and it is not difficult for her to leave the UK to settle in a new place. In particular, it is China that has settled.
"I've figured it out, I love London. But I also like China, you and Paine have grown up. I should also go to China and find the life that Grandpa once wanted to live. ”
"Mom, what about me and Paine?"
After Dai Lina finished speaking, she stepped forward and hugged Wei Mingfeng, and the mother and daughter were a little melancholy.
This time Paine was in a lot of trouble, but he did the right thing.
Dai Lina had just graduated from the University of London, but instead of finding a stable job as Wei Mingfeng expected, she chose to enter the modeling industry.
Dai Lina, who is one meter seven four tall, does have this proud capital, and her mixed-race identity brings her not only the black hair of Chinese, but also the extremely delicate face and delicate skin of Chinese.
Blue eyes, a proud figure, and the dream of dancing and catwalk since she was a child, all made Dalena fall in love with the profession of modeling.
When Wei Mingfeng first went to China at the beginning of the year, she signed up for a modeling show and was invited by a sales company of Aston Martin Motors to work as a professional model.
In the modeling industry, Dai Lina did not have any talent and fame, except for the innate foundation, especially in Paris and London, which are known as the world fashion stage.
But Delena has capital.
In addition to being young, it is the advantage of the body.
In the modeling industry, talking about physical superiority is not a vulgar topic, or even an advantage to be proud of.
Not everyone can be a great model, unless, of course, you have an enviable innate advantage.
Delena is exactly that kind of girl.
With her good figure and good looks, Delena quickly stood out among the models and became the best among them, but with that came a large number of opportunities for commercial contracts.
Although Dai Lina is not the kind of girl who is very debauched and bold, she is just a young girl who has just passed her 21st birthday, even if Europeans and Americans are more mature than Orientals, but she is still not deeply involved in the world.
After gaining some fame, Paine began to work part-time as her agent, but it was at this time that accidents began to happen.
Paine is Darena's older brother.
But Paine was not a good older brother.
This guy has been a typical street hooligan since he was a child, although he didn't do anything harmful, but his character is not good, except for his good looks.
Tall, starry-eyed, and half-blooded, he has been wandering around London since graduating from high school.
Dai Lina has a good relationship with Paine, and this point may be related to the education of Chinese descendants, Westerners pursue freedom and independence, even between parents and children are relatively independent, but Chinese are different.
The Chinese attach more importance to family and gentleness, and although Dai Lina and Paine have inherited more Western blood in appearance, they are really Chinese habits in this regard.
So after a little bit of fame, Dai Lina began to let Paine be her agent, but the problem was that Paine didn't understand the agent's set.
When he signed the contract with Aston Martin, he couldn't even read many of the complicated clauses, which he was supposed to do as a lawyer, but he ignored it, and it turned out to be extremely deadly.
Not long ago, after a disagreement with Aston Martin and asked her to leave, the car company took her to court with a contract, and the courts in the United Kingdom don't bother with so many complicated personal feelings.
Delena unilaterally tore up, or Paine, unilaterally signed cooperation agreements with other commercial companies behind the back of the car company, and the liquidated damages amounted to millions of euros.
When Wei Mingfeng returned to the UK from China, it was actually because the court was about to make a judgment that Dai Lina told her.
Millions of euros in liquidated damages, even if Wei Mingfeng tried his best, it was impossible to repay it, and the most important thing was that on the day of the court's verdict, Paine actually beat someone, and it was still in front of the judge and the jury.
Now he is detained in prison, although it has only been a few months of detention, but Wei Mingfeng can be regarded as heartbroken.
Most importantly, the other party, the representative of Aston Martin who was injured by Paine, refused to cancel the court's decision, not only demanding that they pay liquidated damages, but also appealing for the court to extend the detention time. (To be continued.) )>
