Liege, Belgium.

The banquet was very lively, in addition to many entrepreneurs, there were also some Belgian government officials, and the most beautiful protagonist must be Serena, who has been in the limelight enough during the day.

It wasn't until midnight that Serena finished dealing with the guests who had come to congratulate her.

Although she often participates in similar social gatherings and has long been accustomed to such occasions, in the past, Serena was only a supporting role standing in the corner.

She is still a little uncomfortable with the identity of the protagonist.

Of course, exhaustion is also a key factor.

Fortunately, Gao Jun accompanied him throughout the process, and compared with Serena, Gao Jun was obviously comfortable facing such a social scene.

Don't forget, before you met Wang Dong, he was a dealer at an underground casino in Miami.

In the underground casino, there are all kinds of people, and it is not uncommon for cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and Gao Jun has long been used to it.

For him, this kind of high-class social occasion is similar to an underground casino, a rabble of people in suits and leather shoes.

In the wee hours of the morning, as the last guests dispersed, the banquet ended.

went to the locker room to add a coat, and Serena and Gao Jun left the hotel.

Outside, a Mercedes Benz sedan was parked.

When Serena came out, the driver got down and opened the back door, and it was Lawrence sitting inside, who didn't get out of the car, but just nodded to Serena.

Serena was a little big, but she still let Gao Jun leave first.

Although the Mercedes sedan was spacious and it was no problem to sit for another person, Lawrence made it clear that he wanted to talk to Serena alone.

Before he has torn his face, there is no reason to refuse Lawrence's invitation.

As for the safety of life, there is no need to worry about it at all.

Lawrence is a British knight and the president of BAE Systems, and even if he wants to deal with Serena, he will never come out in person.

"As you must know, I was knighted more than a decade ago."

Serena was slightly stunned, not quite understanding why Lawrence said this, was it to introduce her to the queen and apply for a knighthood for her?

"In the past, this meant having become an aristocracy. So, what do you think are the hallmarks of nobility? ”

Serena was a little stunned, this is getting farther and farther away.

Although the aristocracy has not become history, there are still many aristocrats in England, but in the modern society that advocates freedom, who would take the aristocracy seriously.

"Duty, duty, honor, honor, loyalty, chastity? Actually, these are superficial things. ”

"What's that?" Serena couldn't help but ask, not because she wanted to know, but because she had to find something to say, she couldn't let Lawrence talk to himself.

"Rules, respecting rules, upholding rules and making rules. Of course, this is a rule in a broad sense, including laws, morals, etc., that make this world work, and we must abide by it. ”

Serena chuckled inwardly, for she had already guessed the reason why Lawrence had said this.

"Of course, in our field, rules are just as important."

"In the field of arms?"

"Do you think that people like us just produce and manufacture weapons?" Lawrence smiled faintly and said, "Through the acquisition of FN Company, you must have a deep understanding of the GIAT Group, so you must know that the history of the GIAT Group can be traced back to more than 300 years ago, the era of the 'Sun King' Louis XIV, and in the Napoleonic era, the GIAT Group, which was only an arsenal at that time, was the main arms supplier of the French army, and it was also the basis for the French army to sweep across the entire European continent. By the end of World War I, GIAT was France's number one arms manufacturer, producing hundreds of thousands of artillery pieces for the French army and was the main pillar of the Entente. ”

Serena didn't speak, waiting for Lawrence to continue.

"In the same way, all the arms companies have a long history, but some of them are not so glamorous, such as your opponent, the German company H&K, which is inextricably linked to the Mauser Arsenal, which was an accomplice in the two world wars."

"Your Excellency told me these ......"

"I just wanted to tell you about the importance of rules."

Serena smiled reluctantly, not knowing what to say.

"Of course, I also believe that you are a person who respects the rules, so I think you are qualified to be one of us."

Serena was startled and looked at Lawrence in disbelief.

"The two world wars, and the Cold War, which lasted for almost half a century, have taught us so many lessons, and most of us have learned the importance of rules. If there are no rules, the world will be chaotic. Only with rules can the world run in an orderly manner. It's just that after you have the rules, someone has to come out and uphold the rules, enforce the rules, and make sure that everyone follows the rules. ”

"Your Excellency......"

"Obviously, only those who have enough strength are qualified to stand up and uphold and enforce the rules." Lawrence paused for a moment before saying, "Ms. Stuart, you've proven yourself, and I'm confident you're willing to follow and uphold the rules. ”

"Of course, we ......"

"So, would you like to join us and join us in upholding the established rules?"

As he said this, Lawrence pulled out a jewelry box, which looked like a ring.

What the heck?

Propose!?

Serena was startled and didn't dare to pick it up.

Lawrence did not explain and opened the jewelry box.

Seeing what was inside, Serena breathed a sigh of relief.

Not a ring, but a miniature memory.

In fact, it is not a jewelry box, but a metal container that can be fireproof and waterproof, and the inside is covered with silicone, which has a strong protective function.

Of course, Lawrence had a family, and several of his children were about the same age as Serena.

"It's ......"

"A status lock, which needs to be used on a specific computer."

"Sir, I ...... such a valuable thing"

"Of course, you can consider my suggestion, and then give me an answer after thinking about it, and then I'll send someone to give you the computer."

Serena let out a long sigh before she caught the box that Lawrence had handed her.

Since it's consideration, there's nothing to worry about.

"Alright, we're here."

As soon as Lawrence said this, Serena noticed that she had arrived at the airport, and the plane she had hired was parked on the runway not far away.

It is a small airport dedicated to private jets, which is not as strictly managed and does not have a terminal.

When the Mercedes-Benz sedan stopped, Gao Jun, who arrived one step earlier, came over and opened the back door before the driver.

Seeing that Serena was safe and sound, Gao Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, the two did not talk nonsense.

After saying goodbye to Lawrence, Serena took Gao Jun on the plane.
