"How are our two guests? Rachel? ”

"It's much worse than we thought, Qin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Rachel's eyes showed ambivalence, "Everyone knows they're in a bad mood, and they refuse to talk to any of us. ”

"It's normal." Yi Shui's father was beaten up, and Elizabeth's father spent hours in the police station - and it is certain that Roque's men had "treated" him very well - although no one mentioned it. In any case, without a long enough period of time, their emotions will never return to calm.

"Everything will be fine." Qin Lang added.

Rachel wasn't as calm as he was...... Or carelessly. "I'm completely the opposite of you. At the very least, we haven't found a way to convince the two gentlemen. It's a serious nuisance......"

"We can always find a way around this, Rachel." He shrugged, looking a little absent-minded.

She noticed. "What are you thinking?"

"What do you think about the content of the meeting just now, the distribution of the company's equity?" Qin Lang was more concerned about his company. Although Elizabeth and Yi Shui were important, it involved the internal affairs of both families, and they did not seek his help. What else could he do?

Previously, Mr. McBride's problem was easy to solve, as Rachel explicitly asked him to kill her father, but Elizabeth and Yi Shui had not made such a request...... Maybe they'll never do what Rachel did, and acting on their own will only make things worse......

Qin Lang didn't want to be hated by the two of them for many years.

That being the case, instead of thanklessly thinking about that issue and taking some thankless action, he would rather spend his time thinking about the company's problems.

However, Rachel's reaction to problems is very different from his—she is more emotional than rational; Women are always like that. Of course, since Qin Lang wanted to know her opinion on the company's equity distribution plan proposed by Matther on behalf of the consortium, she didn't mind saying her opinion.

"Even if I have an opinion, what can I do, Qin?" She sighed heavily, trying to keep her composure, "This is the unanimous opinion of the five consortiums, even if I or others oppose it, it won't help. And I can't find any reason to object - we both know that I have no less benefit than you have in the program......"

"There's still a lot of complaining in your tone," Qin Lang shook his head, "Obviously, you still have a lot of opinions on that plan. ”

"I don't have a problem with that plan, what I care about is the different attitude of the consortium towards us. Qin, you have made a very good plan for them, so they value your ability. Unfortunately, as the de facto manager of the company, I was insignificant to these people - and all because I was a woman. ”

"I think—"

"They know who's in charge of the day-to-day management of the company, don't they?" Rachel continued to complain, "But did you notice the way the delegates looked at me? A beautiful vase, that's how they see it. ”

"I know it's hard to be belittled, but that's the way it is in this society. Rachel, it makes no sense to complain about the reps' attitude towards you. ”

"I ......"

Footsteps came from behind them. She immediately stopped, and together with Qin Lang, she turned her gaze behind her. It was William Mather. "Mr. Qin, Miss McBride." He called, "You're still in the company?" ”

"We're getting ready to go home, Mr. Mather." Qin Lang smiled, "So, why are you still in the company?" ”

"Actually, I'm looking for you." Mather walked over, nodded to him, and gracefully kissed Rachel, then said, "I was about to inform you that tomorrow I will return to the East. ”

"Why, so soon to go back, Mr. Mather? Not ready to spend a few more days in San Diego? Rachel asked, feigned surprise - but in fact, she would love all the consortium representatives to disappear from San Diego, and the sooner the better. What about the other gentlemen? ”

"Oh, they're going to stay in San Diego. Miss McBride, you should know that they are official representatives of the other consortia, but I am not—so I must get back to the east as soon as possible, and there is still a lot of work for me to attend to. "And Christmas is coming." ”

"That's a pity, Mr. Mather. Personally, I'd love to see you stay a little longer and discuss a few things about the company. She was really sorry that only Mather would leave......

"Next time, Miss McBride, I'll be in San Diego."

"I look forward to seeing you again."

"Then, Mr. Mather, since you will be leaving tomorrow......" Qin Lang interjected. With a sincere smile, he sent a formal invitation to Mather: "If you don't mind, I hope you can come to your house and have dinner with us today...... Seven o'clock in the evening, what do you think? ”

"Of course there is no problem, Mr. Qin. So, goodbye at seven, Mr. Qin, Miss McBride. He raised his hat and saluted them, and William Mather departed.

"Dinner?" Staring at his back for a while, Rachel turned his gaze to Qin Lang in confusion, "Do you think we're in trouble right now, Qin?" You invited him to your house for dinner. ”

"I think he can help us with some of the problems, Rachel." Qin Lang retracted his gaze, "You once said that your uncle has always wanted to make friends with big names in high society. ”

"A guy who tends to be inflammatory, a villain." Her assessment did not in any way make it any more pleasant because it was her uncle; For the company's big troubles, Rachel won't give him any good looks. In fact, she didn't let him stay in the police station purely because of Elizabeth.

She didn't want her cousin to be sad.

Qin Lang laughed. "You're mean, Rachel." However, this is not an accusation, on the contrary, there is some taste of approval. He began to walk forward, Rachel following closely beside him. "Now, let's talk about your uncle in more detail. Wish he had heard about the Cleveland Consortium and Mr. Mather's family......"

On their way back to their residence, Rachel carefully introduced Qin Lang to her uncle, Mr. Henry Daubers. As she assessed, he was a trendy person, but it was not surprising that most people in the jewelry industry were happy to get into the hands of the nobles and the rich of high society, because only those people could afford to buy the expensive ornaments.

The problem is that Mr. Daubers never succeeded. His pitiful countenance—almost like a lewd monkey, according to the descriptions of the corrupt elements at the San Diego Police Department, and Qin Lang's own eyes—was the obvious obstacle. Only a few people were willing to be friends with him, but they were also reluctant to recommend him to the upper class of London.

It is even more unfortunate that Mr. Daubers, who has always tried to tie the knots of high society, is the laughing stock of the gentlemen and ladies of high society most of the time. And in addition to his appearance, Elizabeth is often used as a tool to ridicule him: as father and daughter, they have little in common, so there are always people who think that she is not his daughter.

"Of course, this is all malicious slander out of nothing." Rachel stressed, "Although there really isn't much resemblance between Elizabeth and my uncle. ”

"People always like to talk about these things, both in the past and now, in the East and in the West, always." Qin Lang shrugged, and then opened the door for her before the guards, "But your uncle is very persistent. ”

"Yes. And he at least had a better conscience than the guy I called my father, and didn't use Elizabeth as a tool for him to make friends with high society, though I think he was preparing to do so. ”

"Mr. McBride didn't use you as a tool to make friends with high society." Qin Lang carefully avoided the word "father".

That's because he didn't have to. His means of amassing wealth and befriending rich people are a thousand times more disgusting than my uncle's. She paused, then added, "And he doesn't look like a monkey." ”

"That's ......"

A sudden and fierce quarrel rang out on the second floor and reached their ears. And to Qin Lang and Rachel's surprise and headache, one of the two sides of the quarrel was speaking English, and the other was full of Sichuan dialect. Even if they don't think about it, they know who's fighting.

"God, why did Yi Shui's father quarrel with my uncle?" She couldn't understand why such a strange thing was happening.

Qin Lang didn't understand either. "I'm sure they don't know what they're talking about......"

But one way or another, the quarrel began and is continuing. They hurried to the second floor, and then saw a ridiculous scene: Yi Shui, Duncan, and one of the guards were holding Yi Anping tightly, Elizabeth, O'Connor, and another guard were desperately holding Mr. Daubers, and the two fathers were like two crazy roosters, blushing and hysterically scolding each other in a language they didn't understand, and still struggling, trying to rush forward and punch each other.

Judging by their performance, they don't look like elders whose two children have grown up at all.

Qin Lang wanted to laugh, but Rachel quietly poked him, signaling him to wait a while for William Mather to arrive.

So he pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at the ceiling. "Quiet!"

It worked, and the world quickly became quiet.
