Who would have thought that the waiter did not reach out to receive the tip, but just smiled and said thank you, and then after putting the luggage properly, he apologized to Zhou Liwen and the others and left.

Seeing Zhou Liwen's somewhat surprised expression, Count Herbert told him with a smile that this place was not an ordinary hotel, but an estate under the name of a nobleman, and the waiter just now was like a housekeeper like old Hans in his castle, but there were several such housekeepers, as a member of the family, of course the guests would not charge any tips.

Hearing this explanation, Zhou Liwen suddenly smiled dumbly, indeed, how could the maid in his own house collect tips from guests? It seems that the habit he developed in the United States is also a joke here.

According to the arrangement, the salon will be held after the dinner. In the afternoon, the visiting guests will rest in their own rooms, or go downstairs to the living room to sit, listen to music, drink afternoon tea or something. Count Herbert is old, although he is not tired from riding in the car, but his spirit is also a little tired, for the sake of the evening salon, he has to go back to his room to rest, as for Zhou Liwen and his wife can only let them do as they please.

After walking around the room a few times, Lin Yaxuan liked this place very much, and the decoration here was more gorgeous compared to the ancient castle. After resting in the room for a while, Lin Yaxuan proposed to go down, of course Zhou Liwen would not refuse, and accompanied his wife downstairs, when passing by the music tea room in the living room downstairs, Lin Yaxuan couldn't help but stop, and went inside with Zhou Liwen, listening to melodious piano music, ordering a cup of black tea, and tasting the refreshments. Here, you can feel the afternoon tea time that is different from France, and it makes people feel very relaxed.

Sitting with his wife for half an hour, Zhou Liwen and Lin Yaxuan, who were a little addicted to smoking, whispered softly, she didn't care when she was immersed in the music, smiled and nodded to indicate that she knew, and then continued to listen to the piano with her cheeks up. Zhou Liwen got up softly, went around from behind, asked the waiter at the door, found the smoking room according to the other party's instructions, pushed the door in, found an empty sofa and lit a cigar and smoked it all the time.

“bavc？”

Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away, Zhou Liwen subconsciously turned his head to look, and the other party stood up in surprise when he saw Zhou Liwen and walked towards him quickly.

"It's really you, I didn't expect to run into you here." The visitor came to Zhou Liwen with a smile on his face and greeted Zhou Liwen very warmly.

The other party was a tall German man in his forties, who looked a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember who the other party was.

"Hello" Of course, Zhou Liwen would not take the liberty to ask who the other party was, and quickly got up and shook hands with a smile, pretending to be familiar with the other party. But I've been wondering who this person is

"I heard Bell say some time ago, you were on vacation in Europe, I didn't expect to meet you here, this world is really small" After shaking hands with Zhou Liwen with a smile, the other party sat down beside him.

When the other party heard Bell's name, Zhou Liwen suddenly recalled the identity of the other party, this person had indeed seen it himself, it was Bell's friend, and he had met it at a cocktail party in France, it was Baptiste, the president of the French region of the Del Heights Group.

Speaking of Baptiste, in fact, I knew him earlier than I knew Bale, but Baptiste didn't recognize Zhou Liwen's identity when he was at the reception, and when he learned who Zhou Liwen was, Baptiste was very remorseful. However, due to Bale's relationship, Baptiste and Zhou Liwen met again later, but they only chatted for a few words, and did not talk deeply again.

"It's a small world, and I didn't expect to meet you here. By the way, Baptiste, you are also here for this salon? Zhou Liwen replied with a smile

"I'm here with my uncle." Baptiste said embarrassedly: "My uncle is a member of the salon, he has not been in good health in recent years, he did not attend this party, it happened that I was on a business trip in Germany, and I accompanied him at the request of my uncle." ”

Zhou Liwen nodded understandingly, and then asked how Baptiste was doing and whether he still worked at Del Heights Group. Who would have thought that Baptiste told himself that he left the group last year and is now working for Siemens.

"Siemens? Isn't that ...... Bell? Zhou Liwen was stunned.

Baptiste smiled: "Yes, Bell used to be at Siemens, in fact, I also worked at Siemens for a few days at first, and then I went to the Del Heitz Group because of my interest. And now ....... Speaking of this, Baptiste was a little embarrassed and said: "At my uncle's request, I resigned from my old position last year and returned to Siemens. ”

"Your uncle is ......?" Zhou Liwen asked.

Baptiste said a name, Zhou Liwen was stunned after hearing it, and then suddenly realized, it turned out that Baptiste's uncle was actually one of the behind-the-scenes shareholders of Siemens, no wonder he would return to work at Siemens, it is estimated that he guessed correctly, due to his uncle's health reasons, now the family is cultivating a successor. Baptiste, president of Del Heights Group France, is a good candidate in this regard.

Some people in China once talked about Chinese and Western education and parents' attitudes towards their children, and always compared them with the words of 18-year-old adults in Western countries who are self-reliant. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, in the family and children point of view, in fact, the Chinese and Western traditions are the same, for the family members, including the love and cultivation of children, Westerners are no worse than Chinese.

Of course, Western countries have done a better job in terms of educational methods, but there is basically no difference between parents and children. It is not uncommon for a family like Baptiste to raise an heir to maintain the longevity of the family. Even in the United States, which claims to be the most democratic, many families are the same, and if they can pave the way for their children's future, no parent will refuse to do so.

"Still in charge of sales?" Zhou Liwen asked.

Batis nodded: "Coupled with the market, it is basically the same as what I used to live in the group, but Siemens has more rules, and it is much more tiring than before." ”

"Hehe, congratulations, I think you will be able to do this job well with your ability." Zhou Liwen congratulated the other party very sincerely, although he did not know Baptiste's current position at Siemens, judging from his family identity including his previous positions, it was absolutely impossible for him to be an ordinary employee, at least he was also a middle and high-level Yu Ministre, and he also mentioned the statement of going back to Germany on a business trip, so it means that Baptiste should now be in charge of overseas business.

"Thank you" Baptiste replied happily, and then chatted casually with Zhou Liwen, and after chatting for a while, he seemed to remember something, and asked Zhou Liwen hesitantly: "Bavc, I want to ask you a question, okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhou Liwen said with a smile.

"Do you think your company is likely to cooperate with Siemens?" Baptiste asked very seriously.
