Chapter 265: The Manor
After about an hour's drive, the convoy arrived at the Alexander family's private estate.
"It's not our way of hospitality to let our guests stay in the hotel, this estate is our family property, there will be no journalists here, and we hope you will enjoy it." After getting out of the car, Hutar said to Xu Yuan very politely.
Looking up at the gate in front of him, Xu Yuan secretly admired, he really deserved to be an old aristocrat, and he could buy such a magnificent manor in an urban area where land prices were expensive, I am afraid that money alone would not be enough.
The classical décor and historic stone walls give a glimpse of the mansion's history, as if it were not a manor, but a museum with a history of more than 100 years.
The butler took five bodyguards to the manor's annex, where the servants lived.
Of course, the place where the so-called servants live is only in the verbal sense, and the accommodation conditions there are not inferior to those of five-star hotels.
Originally, Liu Ling should have lived there, but the housekeeper was keenly aware that her relationship with Xu Yuan was not as simple as it seemed.
So he thoughtfully arranged the place where the two stayed in the same room in the main building.
The servants of the manor had cleaned up the room before the two arrived.
After briefly explaining the location of the infrastructure in the room to Xu Yuan, he took the two to the dining room.
The dinner menu was not as luxurious as expected, but the taste and nutrition were impeccable.
According to Alexander Hutar, the wine on the table has a rich history, and it is not difficult to smell its value from the mellow aroma alone.
At the dinner table, Xu Yuan and Hutar had a good conversation. But I didn't talk about business at all.
Liu Ling was as silent as ever, not saying a word at the dinner table, concentrating on dealing with the lamb chops on the plate.
After the meal, it was already getting dark, and Hutar just politely wished Xu Yuan a good time, and then reminded him not to miss the banquet tomorrow night, and then left by car.
The manor seems to have been used only by the Alexander family to receive distinguished guests, and as a member of the family, he did not live here.
After returning to the room and taking a shower in the bathroom, Xu Yuan returned to the bedroom.
Liu Ling had already come back one step ahead of him, and was sitting on the bed at the moment fiddling with a small black pen-shaped electronic device.
Xu Yuan is very familiar with this thing, anti-listening detection device, most weapon stores in Xinguo have gadgets for sale.
Wiping the water stains on his cheeks, Xu Yuan asked Liu Ling with a smile.
"Did you find anything?"
Liu Ling shook his head.
"Nope."
"It seems that the Alexander family is still sincere to us." Xu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
But what he didn't know was.
It's not that Hutar didn't try to listen to him, and when they first cooperated, the USB flash drive he gave Xu Yuan had a miniature locator in it.
However, because it was put in the source star, that thing didn't work at all.
When it was discovered that the signal from the locator was mysteriously missing, Huttar learned to be obedient and never made these small movements again.
Sitting next to Liu Ling, there was a fragrance from her nose, and Xu Yuan knew that she had already taken a bath.
Putting his hand on her slender waist, Xu Yuan asked softly in her ear.
"Is the itinerary arranged?"
The roots of his ears were a little itchy by the hot air, and his cheeks were flushed with the blush of just getting out of the bath, Liu Ling nodded slightly shyly.
"Well, in the bag."
As she spoke, she was about to get up and help Xu Yuan retrieve the briefcase on the table, but the big hand on her waist did not mean to let go at all.
I turned my head and met the bad look.
"It's okay to watch it tomorrow, or you can rest early today." Xu Yuan smiled evilly, and said very dishonestly with his right hand.
The next morning, the two came to the dining room together to enjoy breakfast, and at the same time, Liu Ling took the itinerary for Xu Yuan.
Nothing special, just arrived on the first day to rest, the second day was free during the day, the evening was at a banquet, the third day was to attend the car show, the fourth day was free, and the fifth day was back.
The five-day itinerary is not full, and it is rare to have the opportunity to come here, Xu Yuan naturally will not miss visiting this strange and charming country.
When leaving the manor, the housekeeper prepared a black Maybach for the two of them, and quietly left through the side door of the manor, without alarming any media reporters.
Because it was a private trip, Xu Yuan did not bring those bodyguards, on the one hand, out of confidence in his own strength, and on the other hand, he felt that it was a bit unpleasant to follow the five men in suits when he was traveling in the mountains and rivers.
Throughout the day, Xu Yuan took Liu Ling to visit the wild attractions, and it was not until the sky turned yellow that the two ended today's trip with a photo full of cameras.
Looking at the tired and excited flush that dotted the girl's cheeks, Xu Yuan couldn't help but smile sincerely.
"Did you have a good day?"
"Hmm!" Liu Ling nodded briskly, and the cold face rarely showed the vitality that she should have at this age.
The corners of his mouth curved, Xu Yuan 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 already late autumn, and if it's Yuanxing's side, I'm afraid it should be snowing at this moment.
Looking at this scene, Xu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Ling, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, raised the camera in his hand and took a picture of this beautiful scene.
Back at Alexander's estate, it was almost six o'clock.
When the two arrived, the butler was waiting at the door of the side gate of the manor.
There was still an hour before the banquet began, and although Xu Yuan 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 Alexander's people, because Xu Yuan had not heard about this banquet before he came, so he did not bring a proper dress.
As for Liu Ling, she went back to the guest room to rest first, she was not very good at this kind of banquet.
After being surrounded by several serious-looking maids for a long time, Xu Yuan appeared at the door of the venue before the banquet began.
"Well, yes, it looks like the clothes I've prepared fit you perfectly." Standing at the door of the venue, Hutar said to Xu Yuan with a smile.
"Thank you." Xu Yuan 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 giants, industrial tycoons, or political tycoons.
Of course, because he was outside the circle, Xu Yuan had not had a chance to see a familiar face among these people.
It's just that I don't know if it's his delusion, the moment he and Huttar walked into the hall of the venue, at least dozens of eyes fell on him, intentionally or unintentionally.
"The greatest pride of the Alexander family is not our assets, but our connections,"
"Many of the guests here are major shareholders of several public companies with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, 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 project reached in such a banquet is not inferior to any international economic summit, and this kind of banquet, we hold such a banquet every few months, you came at the right time, I can introduce you to a few interesting people."
Hutar said, smiling and spreading his hands as he met the man who was walking towards him.
"Long time no see, my old friend."
"Haha, old man, it's been a long time, let me introduce you, this is Xu Yuan." Hutar deftly introduced himself to his old friend.
The man opposite had a look of surprise on his face, and immediately smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"Fortunately, Mr. Xu Yuan, I am very impressed by your company's virtual helmet, and I am very much looking forward to the day when the game is officially launched, my name is Victor Viek, you can call me Victor."
Holding Victor Viik's hand and shaking it up and down, Xu Yuan said with the same smile.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Victor, and I'm sure that when that day comes, it won't disappoint you."
