Chapter 174: The Secret Party Meeting
"Hey! Lisa, my child. ”
The old man strode up and opened his arms to the girl: "I haven't seen you for a long time, you look like you've grown up again, I've almost forgotten what you wore when you were in school at Eton College." ”
"Thank you, Ange." The girl also smiled and hugged the veneer, "It's still the same, time looks like it's stopped on you." ”
The two looked like an old but still handsome father, who saw his daughter who had not seen him for a long time.
"For an old man, the god of time will take pity on him and turn time a little slower." The old man's index finger and thumb gestured "small".
I believe that if the Koreans see this scene, Ange will definitely lose the love of the Koreans.
When Jiang Shouyun was still slandering on the side, he was gently pulled to his side by Ange's outstretched hand.
"Lisa, let me introduce you to it." He smiled ostentatiously at the girl and said, "This is Jiang Shouyun, my proudest student, a shining jewel. ”
After that, he looked at Jiang Shouyun again and introduced the girl: "This is the only daughter of my old friend, Elisabeth Laurent, and she is also one of the youngest school trustees. ”
"I should have arranged for you to meet earlier, you are the same age, the future is the future of you young people, there should be a lot of common topics."
Elisabeth Laurent.
After hearing this surname, Jiang Shouyun's eyes flickered and he looked at the girl in front of him.
Long wheat blonde hair, black crystal high heels, pure black waist pull-over skirt, and pale black veil.
The veil naturally couldn't hide Jiang Shouyun's gaze, and she could see her beautiful and slightly green face, and the veil only added a bit of queenly solemnity to her.
Even Jiang Shouyun had to admit that this girl was really beautiful.
is not only God's eccentric face, but also that kind of temperament that ordinary people can't match, even among the mixed race of beautiful women and handsome men per capita.
But Jiang Shouyun didn't appreciate this beauty, or it was not as attractive to him as "Laurent".
It was not the first time he had heard the surname "Laurent".
The Laurent family leads the largest syndicate in Europe, an international leading monopoly, mainly engaged in the mining industry and the financial industry, and the capitalists in all European countries are in this group.
And the capital giant enterprise that can control the world economy at will, the person who controls it on the surface is actually a very young girl in front of her.
In your twenties?
Maybe not twenty, nineteen or eighteen?
Even if you deliberately use mature style makeup, you can still see the faint greenness.
This made Jiang Shouyun feel a little more surprised in his heart, and he also thought of a girl who also had a mine at home.
When he wandered, the girl was also looking at him, and the two met their eyes.
One with a little nonchalance, the other with deliberate scrutiny.
The two didn't stay for a moment because of each other's far beyond ordinary appearances, but the girl's gaze subconsciously paused on his naked upper body.
But that gaze was only retracted in the blink of an eye, sweeping over Jiang Shouyun's somewhat absent-minded dark blue eyes.
Immediately, he turned his head to look at Ange, who was looking at the two of them with a smile on his face, and said in a calm tone: "It's really surprising that you can use the word treasure to evaluate a person." ”
"Do you think I'll use the S-Class to introduce him to you?"
The kind smile on Ange's face was full of his father's pride in his child who had made a name for himself: "It's a pity that his existence is not something that can be evaluated by the word S-class, and all I can think of may be the word treasure." ”
"It seems that in your heart, he is the main course for today's meeting." Lisa's words to Ange were undeniable.
Hearing this, Jiang Shouyun, who was distracted, came back to his senses, raised his face slightly, and smiled subtly: "Do you like to use cuisine to evaluate a person's positioning?" ”
Lisa's gaze turned to him again, back to her original cold appearance.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a dish, it's not up to the chef to decide." Jiang Shouyun's tone was very sincere, "Even if I am a dish, you should not be my cook." ”
There was a brief silence around them.
After a moment, the ice and snow on Lisa's face melted, revealing a peaceful smile.
"No offense, perhaps, as you said, we like to elevate ourselves with pale words." She didn't apologize or refute, and her tone was as sincere as Jiang Shouyun's.
Just a simple sentence dissolves that depression, and it also does not fall into the inferiority.
She didn't seem to be as young as she seemed, nor as youthful and vigorous as she was, and she wasn't annoyed by a word.
Jiang Shouyun had a spectrum in his heart, and he withdrew his tentative thoughts.
Ange also seems to be pleased with Lisa's maturity.
"It's still a long way from the Spenddid Hotel." Lisa looked at Ange and smiled, "If you don't mind, I can give you a ride." ”
There were already many people observing Ange and Jiang Shouyun, and the high-profile silver Rolls-Royce attracted a lot of attention, and some people began to whisper and watch them.
Jiang Shouyun and Ange did not refuse, and went to the locker room to change clothes.
The two had wanted to wear beach pants to the meeting, but it was obviously impossible to be so rude at the invitation of the lady.
"How do you feel about Lisa's kid?" Ange asked, snuggling the cufflinks of his suit.
"Did anyone say you sometimes look like a pimp?" Jiang Shouyun said mercilessly.
"Now someone has said it." Ange shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, "When I was your age, I was still standing under a cherry blossom tree, holding a poet's book of poems, and reciting it eagerly, attracting the attention of beautiful girls." ”
"Compared to her." Jiang Shouyun patted his clothes and smiled politely, "It's a pity that I can't continue to learn from you, it seems that I can only wait for a chance in the future." ”
"I'm glad you didn't bring it up just now." Ange blinked his eyes and smiled cheekily, "You have to save some face for me, the elder, in front of the junior." ”
………………
When the two of them came out after changing their clothes.
The driver was already waiting outside the car and respectfully opened the Rolls-Royce door for them, revealing the spacious interior.
The girl sat upright in one of the seats, and only one seat remained in the back of the remodeled row.
Seeing this, Ange's footsteps turned, and under Jiang Shouyun's speechless gaze, he directly sat in the co-pilot's seat.
When Lisa raised her head, she didn't even have time to see Ange's side face, she only saw a curvature at the corner of her mouth, and then she stared at Jiang Shouyun with wide eyes.
At this time, Ange's somewhat lazy voice came: "My old fellow will take a break for a while, and you two young people can talk casually." ”
With that, he deftly lowered the partition between the cab and the back seat, which is often used to hide secrets that cannot be heard by the driver.
But now it is being used by a certain old man to fight back at Jiang Shouyun's "disrespect" to the old man just now, maybe it is really to create more opportunities for young people to be alone with each other as he said?
Jiang Shouyun didn't have the idea of being embarrassed, and sat in the back row generously.
When the doors closed automatically, the sunshades were closed, and the warm yellow lights lit up, and the car was quiet, and even the sound of clothes could be heard.
Soon, the slight and negligible feeling of pushing back let Jiang Shouyun know that the vehicle was starting to drive.
"Do you know how to play chess?"
As if intending to take the initiative, the girl was the first to speak and break the silence.
Jiang Shouyun looked at the black and white chessboard between the two, nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Yes, but I'm not interested." ”
Elizabeth looked up at Jiang Shouyun and asked, "You have a bad impression of the school board?" ”
Her tone was not gentle and kind, but it was also not in a questioning tone, as if she were asking a simple question.
"I just don't like to be with strangers of the opposite sex in a closed space." Jiang Shouyun said calmly, "To be honest, I always thought that the people on the school board were old monsters who needed to be plugged in oxygen tubes. ”
In such an independent and enclosed space, the unique perfume smell on the girl's body is really a little sensitive to him.
And Elizabeth was also stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't expect the other party to make such an answer.
After her father died in a plane crash, she had to interrupt her studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts to inherit the family business, and she was not treated as an ordinary opposite sex by her peers for a long time, and was more regarded as an unattainable befriender.
"So, you're still a good man, right?" Lisa raised her eyes and made a rare joke, "I've read your information, and to be honest, I thought that Ange would highly recommend a lion who is even more proud and lonely than him." ”
"And now?"
"A lion of the Gu family?"
“…… Does the school board gossip about other people's emotional experiences? Jiang Shouyun's expression was a little speechless.
"I always have to know who I'm going to talk to." She fiddled with her chess pieces, "You should know what the gap between you and Ange is. ”
"Shouldn't you be more at ease with a person like me, who has a weakness?" Jiang Shouyun said indifferently.
"As much as I trust Ange's vision, it's still hard to believe you."
Lisa raised her head slightly, glanced at him more, and said, "I would prefer to rely on Ange to maintain our relationship rather than rely on the weakness that every school director knows. ”
With that, she lowered her head and fiddled with the chess pieces, "Because the Brown family and the Gattuso family are on opposite sides, I will be on Angers' side under normal circumstances." ”
"But who you are and what you want to do, only you know, maybe Ange knows a little bit or two, but I don't know anything about you, so naturally I can't build trust."
So, what she means is, you need to show attitude.
"I don't think you're going to touch my bottom line, so it's up to you to bid higher, right?" Jiang Shouyun smiled slightly.
Both of them naturally understand this truth.
When all school directors hold the weakness and are unwilling to tear their faces, it is natural to rely on the binding of interests and favors to strengthen cooperation.
The meaning of Jiang Shouyun's sentence to Elizabeth is that she has to go one step more than other school directors with Ange's connections.
There is a bit of empty gloves and white wolf flavor outside the words.
"For example?" Lisa asked without looking up.
"I heard that the Laurent family is a giant in the entire European mining industry." Jiang Shouyun reached out to help her pick up the chess pieces, "Coincidentally, my girlfriend's house also has a mine. ”
“…… That's all you want. Lisa glanced up at him and withdrew her hand to her knee, "It seems that I underestimated that girl's place in your heart." ”
"What do you want from me as a deal?" Jiang Shouyun did not deny it and asked.
"It's not the time yet." Elizabeth looked at Jiang Shouyun in front of her and said lightly, "Looking forward to your performance." ”
At this time, the car came to a steady stop, without feeling any bumps, and the door next to her opened from the outside, and the driver gently held the door frame with his hand.
And the car door next to Jiang Shouyun was also opened from the outside.
"Looks like you guys had a great chat?" Ange blinked and said with a smile.
Jiang Shouyun didn't say anything, just looked behind him.
The car was parked in a dedicated parking lot, a Lamborghini, an old Jaguar, and an AMG modified Mercedes.
Surprisingly, along with these luxury cars, there is also an orange mountain bike.
…… Although it doesn't look cheap, it just is.
Jiang Shouyun got out of the car and followed Ange into the gate of the white building.
The door slowly closed from the inside out, and the building was completely closed as four ancient heavy locks snapped at the same time.
The whole building was a little dim, and not even half a figure could be seen, only their footsteps could be heard, and there was a faint breath in the shadows.
It wasn't until they crossed the corridor to a door that they saw a familiar face standing there.
He just stood there quietly, his blonde hair falling on his softly lined face, revealing only the sea-blue eyes, which had a meek and feminine feeling.
Parcy Gattuso, last encountered on a ship in the Greenland Sea.
After seeing Ange and Jiang Shouyun, Passy bowed to them slightly and said, "Mr. Jiang, please wait here for a while, and you can only go in after the school board summons you." ”
"Subpoena? Is it up to you to convey it? Jiang Shouyun narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "This reminds me of the eunuchs who sent messages to the emperor in ancient times. ”
Patcy didn't speak, still respectful.
A smile appeared on Ange's face, and after patting Jiang Shouyun on the shoulder, he reached out and pushed open the door of the room.
Because it was originally a place for monks to practice penance, the light in the room was slightly dim, and the only source of light was a row of candlesticks on a long table.
The candlelight struck the six shadows against the walls, illuminating the faces of the six figures, which were almost identical solemn.
Only Ange walked very casually past the long table, and all the eyes of the school directors were focused on him.
