Another New Year is coming, and the first snow of the year in Banyan City came relatively late, and there was no light snow until Laba.

As the New Year approaches, major companies hold annual meetings internally to summarize the achievements of the past year, and AS Group is no exception.

AS Group last year because of the fight with the Lu family caused a big injury, it took a whole year to recover, for them, the new year is for them to progress and upward, so at the conference, Vice President Song Ming also focused on the New Year's group development plan expressed his opinions.

“…… The world economy is still led by Europe, in recent years, we have also tried our best to expand cooperation with European countries, the next year, the group's development focus is still on the European side, and we have conducted preliminary negotiations with the Russian Giza Group, both sides have the intention of cooperation, in a few days Sheng will personally go to Russia, and the person in charge of the other party will meet in detail......

The meeting lasted for three hours, and after the meeting ended, Sheng Yuchen and Song Ming left first, and a group of executives were still discussing in the conference room, and they were very interested in the Giza Group that the company was going to work with, because this group was also very famous in China - gossip was very famous.

The marketing manager started first: "Giza Group, is it the legendary real estate company with a royal background?" ”

Some people nodded yes, while others didn't know why: "Royal background? What royal background? And the royal family in Russia? ”

The manager of the administration department affirmed: "Of course there is, but the Russian royal family is different from the British royal family, and the titles of the nobles are only an honor now, without any real power." ”

The new Gong Guān department manager said: "Although they have no real power, they have titles and titles recognized by the state, and they enjoy honor, and in some respects they are still superior to others." ”

There is also humanity: "The ** behind the Giza group, it is said to be a count." ”

At the same time, in the president's office, Song Ming put a file in front of Sheng Yuchen and said, "I have done a detailed investigation of that earl. ”

Sheng Yuchen frowned: "Why do you want to check him?" ”

Song Ming explained in one sentence: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles." ”

Sheng Yuchen's eyes drooped and fell on the document.

Name, Hill.

But the box in the upper right corner should have been pasted with a zhào piàn, but now there is a big question mark.

Song Ming also explained: "I just said that I did a detailed investigation, but in fact, I didn't find much of it, this Earl Hill inherited the title for two years, and no one has seen his true face." ”

……

A week before the New Year, Sheng Yuchen took the project team on a business trip to Russia, and after a week of maneuvering with Giza Group, he finally reached a cooperation. The day the contract was signed happened to be the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the person in charge of Giza Group was very enthusiastic and specially invited them to dinner.

The president of Giza Group is a native Russian, after three rounds of drinking, he said to Sheng Yuchen sincerely: "It is our honor to cooperate with your company, and this project will be 100% successful, so we intend to cooperate with your company in depth, I don't know if Sheng Yuchen is interested?" ”

Sheng Yuchen naturally would not refuse to send shàng mén's wealth, and said with his head bowed: "I would like to hear about it." ”

……

The first day of the Lunar New Year is the busiest day in China, but the Lu Mansion located on the outskirts of Rongcheng is unusually quiet and lonely.

Fu Yisheng came to the door, inspected the mansion inside and out, and shook his head with a sigh: "Why don't you have any holiday flavor in this Lu Mansion?" The red couplet was not pasted, and the red lantern was not hung. ”

He said this to Lu Chengyu, but the latter had no special reaction, he sat on the sofa in the study, turned a page of the book, and said slowly: "The Lu Mansion is not a festival. ”

"What about last night's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?"

Butler Xia replied on his behalf: "The young master was very busy yesterday, working from the afternoon until the early hours of the morning. In other words, not only the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but he didn't even eat.

Fu Yisheng was speechless, but after thinking about it, he understood why he didn't eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there is another name called 'reunion dinner', if he remembers correctly, he has not been to the old mansion in the past two years, nor has he seen Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu.

"By the way, I'm here today to tell you something about your rival." Fu Yisheng sat down on the sofa opposite him, patted the table and said, "I just got the news that Sheng Yuchen went to Russia and signed a project cooperation with Russia's Giza Group. ”

Giza? Lu Chengyu searched his mind for information about this company.

Fu Yisheng said leisurely over there: "The background of this company is very complicated, and Sheng Yuchen is not afraid of suffering losses when he cooperates with them. ”

Lu Chengyu raised his head: "What do you say?" ”

"There have always been rumors in the circle that the real boss of Giza is a count of the Russian royal family, I don't know if it's true, what I can be sure of is that there are gangsters behind Giza." The Fu family itself is an underworld person, and they are naturally more sensitive to this kind of news than ordinary people.

Lu Chengyu's eyes sank, he was involved with the royal family, and he was supported by gangster forces, and he also signed a cooperation agreement with AS......

Several important messages went through in his mind, and after a while, Lu Chengyu looked indifferent again, lowered his head and continued to read: "In Russia, it is not uncommon for officials, businessmen and gangsters to be triad. ”

finally aroused his interest, but this interest lasted for three or five seconds, Fu Yisheng was angry and funny, and knocked on the table: "Can't you pay more attention to it?" Didn't there be news before, someone moved your little wife's nationality to Russia, and now Sheng Yuchen suddenly cooperates with Russian companies, you don't suspect anything is boring? Not going to check? ”

Lu Chengyu said lightly: "If you want to check, go and check." ”

Fu Yisheng really went to check.

He dug out that the boss behind the Giza Group was Earl Hill, and because this person's information was too interesting, he couldn't help but run to Lu Chengyu to gossip: "You would never have thought that Count Hill turned out to be a Chinese-Russian mixed-race!" ”

Lu Chengyu was really a little surprised, although there are no strict regulations on the bloodline of the successor to the title in Europe now, but a person with Chinese blood inherited the title, which is really unexpected, and it is rare for him to stop his work and listen to his gossip.

Fu Yisheng was greatly encouraged by his reaction, and he rubbed his hands and said, "It's unexpected, right? Let me tell you how this Hill's knighthood came about. ”

"You know that, right? The titles in Europe are hereditary, and the previous earl was Hill's maternal grandfather, and his maternal grandfather only had three daughters and no direct heirs, so this title was destined to be inherited by the collateral line. ”

"By collateral, we refer not only to the Earl's three daughters and daughters, but also to the Earl's sisters and their children. Although the Russian title is not as popular as the British title, it is also a knighthood, so think about it, how many people must be involved in snatching it? I think the ferocity is no less than when you fought with your eldest brother for the inheritance of the Lu clan, so this Hill can win in the 'Great War', and he is really not an ordinary person. ”

Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and remembered the battle for the throne back then, and pursed his lips slightly: "Where there is power, there is competition, it is not unusual." ”

Fu Yisheng supported the table with both hands, leaned towards him, and asked meaningfully: "Then do you know what Hill's Chinese name is?" ”

Lu Chengyu squinted his eyes slightly and sat still.

Then I heard Fu Yisheng spit out the words clearly: "I can't find out." ”

He frowned.

"Really, I can't find out at all, I even used the power of the golden platform, but I can't find out the information before he inherited the title, not even a zhào piàn."

Fu Yisheng felt incredible, this situation had never happened before, just asking for a person's name and a person's zhào piàn actually stumped Jintai and the Fu family.

Lu Chengyu relaxed his body, his back was pressed against the back of the chair, and something flashed quickly under his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "What a mysterious person." ”

……

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, it is the day when all walks of life begin to resume work, and after signing a project cooperation with Giza Group a year ago, AS Group blew up a deep-water torpedo on this day - it actually accepted a huge injection of capital from Giza, making Giza the largest shareholder under the Li family!

There is an essential difference between capital injection and acquisition, to put it bluntly, Giza is only investing in AS, and the initiative is still in the hands of AS, but now AS is obviously developing smoothly, for no reason, why accept foreign capital?

Many people are surprised, but also begin to wonder if there is something wrong with AS?

To this, AS's response is to make the group have a better future.

The fact is that after receiving the capital injection from Giza, the market value of AS rose by 60% within a year, and it became the second largest enterprise in China, close to the first Lu Group, and the limelight was unmatched.

And just before the end of the year, AS suddenly announced that in order to deepen the intimacy and cooperation with Giza, Giza decided to send the next executive to serve as vice president of AS.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of AS Group, AS decided to invite friends from all walks of life to celebrate and wash the dust for the new vice president.

This invitation letter was distributed to nearly 100 enterprises, Beicheng Yisheng received it, Haicheng Jiang received it, and Rongcheng Lu also received it.

Such a big banquet can be said to be very rare, coupled with the fact that AS has been out of the limelight this year, and now there is a vice president parachuted, which will inevitably arouse everyone's curiosity, and almost all the companies that received the invitation letter were invited to the appointment.

In the banquet hall of nearly 1,000 square meters, the guests gathered together in twos and threes, and the banquet had not officially started, they chatted casually, and the most talked about was naturally about this banquet and the mysterious vice president.

"Do you know who this new vice president is?"

"I don't know, the secrecy work is so good, I can't find out, I just know it's a man."

"Men?"

"Yes, and besides, you know the true identity of the boss behind Giza, right? I heard that this new vice president is also in that capacity. ”

"You mean...... Earl? ”

"How can there be so many counts? This one is a baron. ”

The voice that was not deliberately lowered reached Fu Yisheng's ears on the side, he held a glass of red wine in his hand, and gently shook the glass: "The news I found out also said that it was a baron." I really don't know what tricks AS and Giza are playing this time. ”

Bringing half a glass of red wine in the cup to his mouth and drinking it all, Lu Chengyu's dark eyes reflected the crystal lamp in the center of the hall, sparkling, and he couldn't distinguish his emotions: "Wait and see." ”

A male voice suddenly sounded behind him: "I didn't expect Chairman Lu to come too." ”

The two turned around in unison, and saw Jiang Yan, who had been away from China for nearly four years, walking slowly over with Ruan Yan.

Compared to four years ago, he has matured a lot, and the dark blue suit wears on him, lining him more and more calmly. Ruan Yan beside him has not changed, and he is still gentle and well-behaved.

"President Sheng warmly invited, how could you not come?" Lu Chengyu calmly responded, "But Mr. Jiang specially came from Haicheng to attend the banquet, which shows that he really has a heart." ”

After returning from Australia, Jiang Yan inherited the Haicheng Jiang clan and is now the rightful 'Jiang Zong'.

It's just that Lu Cheng met the sentence 'Mr. Jiang', but he felt extremely harsh, and it reminded him of how he was assigned to Australia back then, and there was no smile on his face: "I also want to thank Chairman Lu for his support back then." ”（106）

Lu Chengyu always smiled calmly: "You're polite." ”

At this time, the host of the banquet walked over to them, he held a wine glass in his hand, and said with just the right amount of politeness: "Thank you Sheng for coming here today." ”

Fu Yisheng leaned in with a wine glass and touched it with him, and at the same time smiled meaninglessly: "President Sheng has been so beautiful this year, I almost can't recognize you." ”

Sheng Yuchen was indifferent: "Is Mr. Fu making fun of Sheng?" No matter how big Sheng's change is, how can it be compared to Chairman Shanglu's turn of face and denial of people? ”

Lu Chengyu smiled: "Looking at today's full of distinguished guests, it shows that President Sheng is no longer what it used to be, maybe Lu should really get to know you again." ”

The two men's eyes collided in mid-air, and then they each started drinking.

Fu Yisheng's curiosity was not satisfied, his heart was itching, and he bumped Sheng Yuchen's arm with his elbow: "President Sheng, it's all here, don't hide it anymore, tell me quickly, who is this new vice president?" ”

Sheng Yuchen looked back at him: "If I say I don't know, do you believe it?" ”

Sheng Yuchen wouldn't lie about such a meaningless matter, so he really didn't know who the new president was.

The crowd looked at each other—even he didn't know it, and the whole banquet hall must have been unknown to no one.

Sheng Yuchen turned the wine glass in his hand and said lightly: "Anyway, it's coming soon, everyone will know when they meet together." ”

Before the words could be completely spoken, there was a sudden movement at the gate.

Today, there are many guests, and the door could not be closed, but the wind and snow outside are too strong, so it has to be closed.

The gold-plated door was slowly pushed open from the outside, and the heavy mahogany material made a muffled sound, drawing the attention of the entire banquet hall.

Jiang Yan said in a low voice: "It's here." ”

As soon as the door opened, a burst of snow flakes rushed in, floating like petals in the air.

Immediately after, a long shadow appeared on the ground, followed by the man stepping in.

Tall and slender, wearing a royal blue slim suit, lined with a white and capable chiffon shirt, the neckline is upright, tightly bound by a black ribbon, no leaks, making people suddenly feel capable and ascetic. The cropped trousers showed a section of her ankle, and she was wearing a pair of black high heels that were no more than six centimeters long, and her feet were also stretched extremely beautifully.

Yes, heels.

It's a woman.

Although she was dressed in a unisex suit, she was clearly a woman, and she had short shoulder-length hair, dyed in a very light linen color, neatly combed behind her ears, and there were no ornaments at all...... No, there is, she wears a silver miàn ju on her face, on the right side of her face.

Miàn Ju is neither big nor small, just covering one of her eyes and one cheek, and there is no pattern on it, only the edges are carved with vine patterns.

She didn't come alone, she was followed by four people, three of whom were Russians.

After walking a dozen steps, she stopped.

The Chinese woman next to her spoke first: "I'm very sorry, the wind and snow on the road are too big, and we are late." Later, she also made an introduction, "This is Cynthiaxiǎo Jiě, the new vice president of AS Group. ”

Cynthiaxiǎo Jiě has only half of her face, and most people don't know her.

But a group of people here know who she is at a glance.

In the silence, the corners of Sheng Yuchen's mouth suddenly raised, and his voice was very low and soft: "Chairman Lu, instead of getting to know Sheng again, it is better to get to know her again." ”

Lu Cheng's eyes, which had not changed color for a long time, finally had a very brief tremble, and then those changes and emotions that had not had time to change all fell into darkness.
