Chapter Seventy-Four: The Nobles' Invitation Ambrera
During the two days in Paris, Zhou Yi spent most of his time with his family and his two female friends. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He accompanied these people, who played a very important role in his life, and spent two days browsing the streets and alleys of Paris and various scenic spots.
Zhou Yi, who rarely has the opportunity to accompany his family and girlfriend, wants to make up for what he owes them as much as possible in these two days. All these years, he has been preparing for future enemies. Although he has created a very favorable environment for his family, he has also paid a certain price. He really doesn't spend much time with his family.
And for the two female friends, Auroro and Jean Gray, Zhou Yi actually has some guilt in his heart. Because of the difference in their identities, Zhou Yi basically couldn't take them to some formal high-level banquets. Not to mention having an official name.
Auroro also knows this. So after dating Zhou Yi for so many years, she has never formalized a relationship with Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi mentioned this kind of thing, but Auroro did not agree. Because she knows that her identity is not helpful to Zhou Yi's career, but an obstacle.
She is a smart and self-reliant woman, and she does not want to become a vassal of Zhou Yi. So this kind of identity asymmetry once made her alienated from Zhou Yi. If it weren't for Zhou Yi's persistence, it would have been difficult for them to get to where they are now.
As for Jean Grey, her identity is even more awkward. He and Zhou Yi's stealing situation has always been Zhou Yi in a dominant position. It can be said that it was Zhou Yi who seduced her step by step towards the darkness in her heart. However, she is a little happy with it.
It's not that Qin Gray didn't want to occupy the most important position next to Zhou Yi. It's just that deep down her guilt for Auroro and Scott makes her afraid to do anything. For this reason, she can only let Zhou Yishi do it. Also because of this, she was able to share her guilt more on Zhou Yi's body.
The relationship between men and women is so complicated that Zhou Yi can't put it down. He enjoyed the feeling, but he was also even more reluctant to let them go. He hasn't given them much all along, but he wants the best for them.
It's like his plan, and in some ways it's for them. Because this is their lifelong wish, to be able to walk in the sun openly.
It's another great trip. Zhou Yi returned from the famous Louvre with two beauties, as well as his clingy sister and a group of his henchmen. When it comes to appreciating works of art, Jean Gree is a connoisseur. But even Auroro and Charis, who have little artistic energy, will praise these treasures of art that are treasured in them.
Those gorgeous works of art from all over the world, which embody the essence of ancient human thought, as long as it is a creature with aesthetic ability, will be amazed.
As she and her little sisters chattered about ancient legends from Egypt, Auroro consulted Jean Grey about how to identify and classify beautiful Chinese porcelain. Zhou Yi stretched comfortably. If he could, he really wanted to stop there. However, such a will is basically impossible to achieve.
A well-dressed gentleman appeared in front of Zhou Yi and respectfully handed an invitation to Zhou Yi. At the same time, he said in an ancient accent of English.
"Hello, Dear Mr. Zhou. I am the steward of the Assifo family, and I have heard that you are in Paris. My host is very pleased and hopes to invite you to a banquet tomorrow night at the estate of Assifoët! ”
"The Assifofort family, I remember how you were an old nobleman in England, and you came to Paris." For the Yasifu family, Zhou Yi is not too impressed, but there is still a little bit of it. It was a large family that originated in England and was even glorious during the Victorian period. But after that, it gradually withered.
The last head of the Yasifot family was a genius in biology and partnered with a few like-minded people to start a huge multinational pharmaceutical company. And little by little the company has grown to a huge size.
The company, called Ambrera, is now a giant in everything from biological research, pharmaceutical production, medical hardware, and the defense industry. It can be said that it is the top giant in Europe, and even once extended its tentacles to the United States on the other side of the ocean.
But America's homegrown industry is very resistant to such foreign rivals. So far, the company's tentacles have only been in the remote Midwest, and it has no access to the core areas occupied by Stark Industries and Osborne Industries.
As Ambrera grew, the Yassifot family gradually declined. The head of the previous generation disappeared for no reason, and the head of the house of this generation, Alfred. Yasifut Zhou Yi had seen it, a poor worm who was overwhelmed by the current rulers of the Ambrera Company. Although the outside world has always boasted that his IQ level is the top of the human race, Zhou Yi doesn't think it's of any use. You must know that this world is not something that can be played with a high IQ.
However, no matter how declining the aristocracy is, it is also an aristocracy, and the energy of the Yasiford family is still not to be underestimated. Zhou Yi didn't want to offend such a local big man for no reason, which was not a good thing for his mother who stayed in Europe all the year round. So Zhou Yi was just a little puzzled, then nodded and said.
"I see, tell Mr. Alfred for me, thank him for the invitation, I will be there on time."
Leaving the invitation, Mr. Butler, who behaved in a very gentlemanly manner, bowed and left. And when he left, someone asked.
"Is it someone you know?"
Seeing that it was Auroro who spoke, Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head.
"It's just acquaintance, but even if you don't know people in the business field, as long as there is interest, you can let them bow their heads and invite them! It seems that Alfred, or Ambrera behind him, needs my help. ”
"Is it the largest medical company in Europe? What do they ask you for? Jean Grey, who had heard something about the company, asked. They focus on medical and biological research, and they don't seem to have anything to do with your industry. ”
"Who knows, maybe there is something wrong with their industrial chain." Shrugging his shoulders, Zhou Yi said that he didn't know much about the situation. "I guess they took a fancy to the liquidity I was holding."
"You have to be careful, I always think they don't have anything good to do with you?" Auroro was a little worried, she didn't know the intentions of these so-called merchants, but the nature of women made her think that there must be some conspiracy involved.
"Auroro, ignore them." Jean Gray grabbed Auroro and said teasingly. She didn't want her friends to be exposed to the shady stuff too much. So I had to pull the topic away. "They're like sharks, and they'll swim over at the slightest smell of fish."
"That's right!" directly agreed with Qin Gray's statement, and Zhou Yi calmly admitted her title. "We are indeed sharks, otherwise how could we be at the top of the chain of marine life."
"Sharks are murderous creatures that won't let go of their own kind!" Auroro admonished that she had always had some criticism of these big companies that were researching biology. Because many of them have experimented with mutants in many shady industries.
"I know, I'll be careful." Zhou Yi patted the back of Auroro's hand and comforted her. "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Besides, my identity is not something that this kind of declining family can easily touch. ”
Although his words are a bit exaggerated, they are not too far from reality. The Yasifot family has been separated from the core of the Ambrera company since the last generation of the family, and is only responsible for some peripheral research work and departments. And in Alfred's generation, even these things can't be saved. With the exception of a research lab in Antarctica, he has only partial power in Ambrera's security services.
Such a Yasifu family did not shake the power of Zhou Yi, after all, Zhou Yi is the core high-level of the two giant enterprises. And the strength of these two companies is even higher than that of Ambrera.
With a blank look at Zhou Yi, Auroro no longer worries about him in this kind of place. After all, there was still some estrangement between her and him, and this distance limited her from taking on everything with him.
Smiling slightly, Zhou Yi's hand under the table quietly pinched Qin Gray, Qin Gray trembled in fright, and quickly broke free of his palm. Taking advantage of Auroro's inattention, he glared at him angrily.
Zhou Yi, whose skin was already thick to a certain extent, directly ignored the eye attack from Qin Gray. Casually propped up his chin and said to the two ladies.
"Tomorrow's banquet. Auroro, would you like to be my female companion and accompany me to the feast? ”
Auroro thought about it for a moment and shook his head silently.
"Sorry, easy! You know, I'm not fit for this kind of occasion. So you might as well find someone else to go with you. ”
Zhou Yigang turned his gaze to Qin Gray's body, and the woman who had been frightened by Zhou Yigang's small actions had already said unceremoniously.
"Don't even think about it, I'm not going to be your female companion to this kind of party."
"Okay!" Zhou Yi shrugged. "Looks like I'll have to show up alone tomorrow at the banquet in Asifo."
"Yi, I'll go with you. I haven't seen what a nobleman's banquet looks like, have I? Xia Ruisi, who had been supporting her ears and eavesdropping on Zhou Yi's side on the other table, poked her head over and said to Zhou Yi flatteringly.
Zhou Yi pressed the beret on her head, squinted his eyes and said, "Unless I'm dead, dear." Otherwise, you don't want to have a penny to do with this kind of messy banquet before the age of eighteen. ”
"Why not?" Charis shook her fist in exasperation. "You nasty fellow, don't think that you are my brother and you can deprive me of my right to freedom."
"When you ask me for pocket money, you have already paid the price with your freedom. My dear sister. Disdain expressed the value of such a thing as freedom, Zhou Yi clearly retorted. Do you think there is anything good in this kind of aristocracy, let me tell you. Half of today's aristocracy is homosexual, and most of them are men. The rest are not as good as these true love patients. Why, are you still satisfied with what I say? ”
"It's disgusting, you guy." Waving her hand in disgust, Charis said. "I'm still eating dessert, can I not say something so disgusting."
"You hit the muzzle of the gun yourself. My dear! ”
Stuffing a large piece of cake into her mouth, Xia Ruisi's emerald eyes showed a strange look.
"Don't think you can scare me like this, I have a big backstage." It's a pity that what she said was too vague, and Zhou Yi didn't understand what she said at all.
