Chapter 393, Zhou Yi's mother
Sitting on the plane to New York, accompanied by Heidan, Sol, Yuhan, Li Xun, Muliang Junzi, and Zhou Yi. Of course, Zhou Yi didn't participate in the battle, but only helped me arrange accommodation and itinerary to New York.
The United States is a diverse country, and its complexity is more complex than that of any other nation or country in the world. Here, you can see people of all colors walking the streets, mountains, rivers, vast fields, and the territory of the United States is almost the same as China, but it has four times less population than the Chinese.
Of course, because of this, the United States, especially New York, can be said to be a core area of the supernatural world of the entire Western world, and gatherings of large and small supernatural races will take place in New York.
I haven't slept well in the bumps for a long time, but since I was going to participate in this world supernatural master competition, I hardly slept well, and it was really stressful.
After getting off the plane, a few of us had just stepped out of the cabin and saw a well-dressed and very noble woman in her 30s standing outside the plane, with a black stretched Lincoln car behind her, and several bodyguards who looked a little skillful.
A female secretary is holding an umbrella for this woman to block the sun, she is wearing sunglasses, I can't see her specific appearance, but this temperament alone proves that this woman must have a great background.
I wondered, is this man coming for me? Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi behind him said in surprise: "Mom, why are you here?" ”
I was stunned, this woman was actually Zhou Yi's mother? The heiress of an ancient European family, a powerful character with wealth and power.
Zhou Yi stepped off the plane and whispered a few words to his mother, this woman also took off her sunglasses, I have to say that this woman is really well maintained, according to her age, she should be in her forties, but she still looks like she is in her early 30s, not only has a beautiful face, but also has a slim figure.
At this time, I don't know what they said, Zhou Yi took his mother, walked up to me, and introduced: "This is my current leader in Shanghai, Mr. Duanmusen, he is going to participate in this World Spirit Master Competition, I respect him very much, and he has taught me a lot of things." ”
Zhou Yi spoke Chinese, which made me stunned, his mother is a European at first glance, does she also understand Chinese? But soon, I realized how foolish my fear was.
Zhou Yi's mother stretched out her hand and said in very standard Mandarin: "Hello, Mr. Duanmu, I am Zhou Yi's mother, you can call me Anna." ”
I knew she meant to let me kiss the back of her hand, but I'm Chinese and can't learn that. Therefore, he directly changed the kiss gift to a handshake ceremony, and replied with a smile: "Hello, I am Duanmusen, and I am also a friend of Zhou Yi, I don't know how my aunt will come to pick up the airport in person this time?" Seems to miss his son? ”
It's just that my ridiculous remark caused Anna to shake her head again and again, she looked at me and said: "Of course, I came to the airport to meet my child this time, but I want to meet you, the benefactor who makes my child grow up sensible." I've already prepared lunch, so if you don't mind, please enjoy a meal with me. ”
I have to say that this woman is really amazing, come to see me? I guess there is something I need help with, or there is something you want to talk to me about. Moreover, I heard Zhou Yi whispering in my ear: "My mother never takes the initiative to invite others to dinner, chief, you have such a big face." ”
At this moment, Anna saw the old wizard of Thor coming out of the cabin, she was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and she nodded very politely at the old wizard of Thor.
This scene fell in my eyes, I was taken aback, it seems that this old man must be not small, I felt that he was particularly mysterious before, and now seeing Anna's expression has verified my guess.
The luggage was sent away by the arrangers, and I sat in Anna's luxurious Lincoln with my empty hands and drove all the way forward. New York feels like it's a mess, and the whole of America is actually a bit of a mess in general. Busy places are very busy, but many small cities and even medium-sized cities are very quiet, and by 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening there is no one on the street.
As soon as Zhou Yi returned to Anna's side, he immediately showed the appearance of a child, not only with a playful appearance when he spoke, but also often showed a grimace, which made Anna laugh non-stop.
Actually, I have never asked Zhou Yi about the whereabouts of his father, in my opinion, it must not be easy for a man to marry such a woman with such an identity, such a background, and extremely beautiful and intelligent.
But, after all, this is someone's private matter, and I have no right to intervene. After driving for more than half an hour, the car stopped at the door of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and I am no stranger to this hotel, when Li Hongzhang once took his team of chefs to stay at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and began his visit to the United States.
This is one of the top hotels in the United States and even the world, and eating in it requires not money, but status.
As soon as the Lincoln stopped, two porters came up to open the door for us. To be honest, I'm not dressed for a place like this.
Walking across the marble floor, all the waiters would smile and salute us along the way, the ceiling was full of golden chandeliers, and I saw beautiful oil paintings hanging on the walls around me, it was really a place of ultimate luxury.
"Hello, the box you booked has been prepared for you, and I will show you the way."
A waiter with a particularly pure London accent led us into the box! I originally thought that the box would also be very luxurious, after all, I am used to seeing luxurious decorations in China, however, after entering the box of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, I realized what a top hotel is!
In this box, the decoration looks very simple, but in fact it is very elegant, wooden stools, wooden round tables, and the table is not knives and forks, but bowls and chopsticks, and even I saw that the decoration in the entire box has been replaced with Chinese antique charm, and even a woman who looks Chinese, wearing a cheongsam, sitting on the other side of the box, playing the guzheng, in front of a large fish tank, the whole fish tank is filled with all kinds of goldfish.
"This box is really special."
I was surprised to say that it was only me and Hei Dan who had come to eat, and everyone else had already been arranged to stay in the hotel.
"This is what I prepared for you in advance, like? I asked them to transform this private room into a Chinese style, and I hope you will be in a good mood. ”
This turned out to be Anna's arrangement, so it seems that this woman must have something to find me!
After taking a seat, of course, I can't eat and drink in this kind of place, and how to say that the other party is also a person with status, and the Chinese food made in this hotel looks very exquisite, but in fact, the taste is really not as good as in China.
In foreign countries, even if the chef of a Chinese restaurant is Chinese, it is difficult to cook the taste of China, and it is also related to the water and soil. Therefore, I just took two bites and didn't move my chopsticks much.
"You go out first, kid, you and them go out first, Mr. Duanmu and I still have something to discuss."
Obviously, Anna was about to get down to business, and I patted Hei Dan on the shoulder, and he left the room with Zhou Yi and a group of waiters.
"You must have something to ask me for help with, just tell me."
I said it bluntly, but there was a smile on the other person's face.
"You are really a smart person, although I can see that you are still very young, but you are indeed much more sophisticated than Zhou Yi's child. I do need your help with something, and I am one of the behind-the-scenes investors in this World Supernatural Master Competition, and the invitation letter received by the China Yin and Yang Agents Association is also specially sent to you by the organizers. ”
As soon as Anna's words came out, I was shocked, not because she asked me to participate in the competition, but because I thought about it, I guess what she asked me to do was not simple.
"Thank you very much, I won't shirk if you have any help I can help."
I followed her words.
"This is related to some of my personal and family secrets, and it is inconvenient to tell you directly, but the content of the commission can still be clearly explained. The vampire prince Hanmold will also be in the tournament this time, and I will find a way to make it collide with your team in the second week, and I hope that in the tournament, you can kill this vampire for me. ”
As I expected, Anna's commission was not a trivial matter, and it was not a little difficult for me to kill the vampire prince!
"You have a vendetta against the vampire prince? Moreover, such a commission is not easy. ”
A slight smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I didn't directly refuse, because I knew that this World Supernatural Master Tournament was not only a competition, but also a fight, even if Anna didn't look for me, if I collided with the vampires, it was estimated that they would kill us!
"I can't tell you the specific reason, but if you agree, I will naturally not treat you badly, and in the second week of the competition, I will provide you with some help outside the rules of the competition, such as some artifacts specifically for dealing with vampires."
At this moment, Anna's eyes flashed with a shrewd gaze unique to a strong woman!
