Chapter 342: Ambition
Although France is a world-famous food kingdom, their cuisine is much poorer than that of China. Especially in this kind of high-end wine banquet, the dishes on the table, lettuce are nothing more than some pearl tomatoes, small radish, lettuce flowers, etc., cooked food such as bacon, fried meat, etc., seafood sashimi, caviar, etc., but those bright colors of small desserts are relatively attractive. However, they are very particular about the layout of the venue and the grade of drinks. The waiters are also mostly male surnames, and they are all between thirty and forty years old, they are polite, well-behaved, and their movements are very in place.
At the banquet, blonde and blue-eyed Westerners held high-legged wine glasses, each talking and laughing. Among them, there are also some yellow-skinned people.
Lan Xiaoxue and the three of them didn't take the initiative to talk to those foreigners, and they didn't seem to have the slightest interest in getting to know those people. Coming here is more of a way for them to pass the time, or Lan Xiaoxue to meet the legendary Mr. Pierre Cardin for a while, but he has not appeared so far. So they each stood in a corner with a glass of red wine and chatted, occasionally looking at the exotic banquet with curious eyes.
"No wonder people say that the French eat in a mood, you see where Chinese potatoes and onions can be used for such big occasions. Du Meiling said to Lan Xiaoxue with a smile.
Lan Xiaoxue smiled and said, "I heard that the French go to a banquet, not to eat food, but to taste wine. Not to eat, but to meet friends. You see, those people are basically getting together and chatting with wine. ”
Deng Jie and Du Meiling glanced slightly, and sure enough, few people touched those dishes.
Although Lan Xiaoxue and the three of them are not glamorous and beautiful, they have a unique temperament, which is not something that Western women can have, even some women with oriental charm may not have it. The cultivation techniques that Li Peicheng taught them made them all dye a trace of aura. They have seen such a magical man as Li Peicheng, and they care about Li Peicheng, so that they are indifferent to those men, no matter how good they are, and they seem to be born with a sense of superiority over men. Especially these three women, one of whom is now a celebrity in Paris.
Lan Xiaoxue and the three of them stood aside and whispered, which soon attracted many people to come and talk. The people who can come to this banquet are famous people in the Western world, mainly in the French political, business, art and other circles, these Europeans have no respect for the inherent pride and prejudice of the Chinese because of Lan Xiaoxue's sudden rise, they always think that fashion belongs to them. Lan Xiaoxue's rise can only show that she is a new luck, and besides, her rise is not because they provide this stage.
Their conversations with Lan Xiaoxue were always exaggerated, and sometimes they even inadvertently belittled China's backwardness in fashion. Some shareholders of well-known fashion brands also sent invitations to Lan Xiaoxue to join their company, and proudly stated a series of conditions that they thought were very generous.
At this time, Lan Xiaoxue had already rejected them with a very indifferent attitude, and even treated them with an even more arrogant attitude.
After sending another group of people, Lan Xiaoxue's eyes flashed with a strange gaze, and there was a strong fighting spirit and firm determination in that gaze.
Today's banquet allowed her to suddenly find another goal in life, a helpless goal, but it could divert her attention and rekindle her passion for struggle.
"What, Xiaoxue is stimulated? Do you want to make a career for these red-haired devils? Du Meiling asked with a smile, she knew Lan Xiaoxue too well.
"Why not? I suddenly want to do something earth-shattering, are you interested?" Lan Xiaoxue, who had always been quiet and elegant, suddenly looked at Du Meiling and Deng Jie with extremely provocative and aggressive eyes.
Deng Jie looked at Lan Xiaoxue a little confused, she didn't understand what Lan Xiaoxue meant, but Du Meiling understood, because her heart was as empty as Lan Xiaoxue, and she needed something to stimulate her.
"Why aren't you interested?" Du Meiling raised the wine glass in her hand and touched it with Lan Xiaoxue, then turned her head to look at Deng Jie and said, "Why aren't you interested?"
"I don't know what you want to do?" Deng Jie said a little depressedly, although the three of them are like sisters, she has less tacit understanding with the two of them.
"It's about making Candace a world-renowned brand like Yves Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton, and of course it would be better if it was possible to swallow them up. I'd like to see how these people dare to say that our clothes are street stalls, and that they are the fashion capital of the world. Du Meiling said.
Deng Jie glanced at Lan Xiaoxue and Du Meiling in surprise, she really couldn't understand why they suddenly became so ambitious, and their current wealth couldn't satisfy them? Isn't their current life rich enough? But Deng Jie still raised her glass and touched Du Meiling and Lan Xiaoxue, and said with a smile: "Since you want to do this, I will accompany you to do it." ”
"The little Chinese girl has ambition, to be honest, I have long been tired of seeing these French people always regard themselves as fashionable people, your China is a magical country, how can the descendants of these barbarians understand. A noble old woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a somewhat pale face didn't know when she approached Lan Xiaoxue and the others, and spoke an authentic Chinese dialect.
This old woman was none other than the Marquise Elle. Elle was deeply attracted by the clothes designed by Lan Xiaoxue at the fashion show, and her current owner is also from ancient China, so she will inevitably have a good feeling for the Chinese, just like her second hometown. She had been secretly paying attention to the three of them early in the banquet, and when she heard them say this, she couldn't help but come up and interject.
Lan Xiaoxue and the three of them were shocked, you must know that they are now deaf and clear-sighted, and ordinary people can not escape their perception when they approach, but this old woman stood behind them, but they didn't know it yet.
This old woman is not simple, and she needs to be careful to deal with it, but she doesn't know what she means by saying these words on purpose? Lan Xiaoxue and the three of them immediately turned a lot of thoughts and questions in their hearts.
"Hehe, let Madame smile, it seems that Madame is not French?" Du Meiling asked with a smile and politeness.
Socializing with people, Du Meiling always comes forward among the three.
Elle showed a look of disdain and smiled, "Of course not, I'm from the UK. ”
"Oh, it turns out that Madame is from England. Du Meiling continued to smile and talk to Ellie.
On the one hand, Ai Li came up to talk because Lan Xiaoxue and the three were Chinese, and they had a good feeling, and on the other hand, they also wanted to talk about clothing with Lan Xiaoxue, who suddenly rose up, so the two sides introduced each other a little and talked about clothing.
Although Elle is not a professional fashion designer, because she has the backing of her age, and she is a fashion lover, she is also the head of the road when it comes to clothing design, and many ideas are quite inspiring, so after a while, the four of them also chatted together.
A party mostly ends in a conversation with Ellie, and Pierre Cardin doesn't show up. However, Lan Xiaoxue didn't feel regrets, because she had a bigger ambition in her heart tonight. Pierre Cardin was no longer the object of her admiration, but the object of her transcendence.
Standing by the Seine River, watching Anthony take out his mobile phone, Li Peicheng suddenly felt that there was something about this English vampire that he felt kind.
After Anthony called, Elle was soon on the Seine. She was surprised that the host would come to France.
"Don't be surprised, I have a friend in Paris who came to Paris for a fashion show. Li Peicheng said with a smile.
Ai Li immediately thought of Lan Xiaoxue and the three of them, and asked cautiously, "The master's friends are the three women named Lan Xiaoxue." ”
Li Peicheng nodded and said, "It seems that you have seen them, have they already held a fashion show?"
No wonder those three people also have a trace of weak mana, it turned out to be the master's worldly friends, it seems that the master must have passed on a little bit of their skills.
"Yes, it has been held and it has been very successful. Elle replied respectfully.
Li Peicheng sighed, and he couldn't tell how he felt when he heard the news, and his eyes were just a little aimlessly looking at the two leafy islands floating in the middle of the Seine River in the distance, the Isle of Stud and the Isle of Saint-Louis.
"My subordinate also met three of the master's friends at the banquet tonight and talked to them. Elle cautiously interrupted Li Peicheng's somewhat chaotic thoughts.
"Oh, what did you talk about?" Li Peicheng retracted his gaze.
Elle told Li Peicheng everything about it, including their ambitions.
Hearing Lan Xiaoxue's ambitions, Li Peicheng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, it's okay, maybe they will forget me soon. Thinking about it like this, Li Peicheng once again returned to Gujing Bubo's state of mind. Then he said lightly: "You go back to Arthur Island with me!"
Zhenling Island, Tongzhen Palace.
A solemn and solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire palace, a tall and majestic man, with a high nose, red phoenix eyes, dignified appearance, and a purple robe, stood in the hall, and the aura of solemnity was mainly emanating from him.
This middle-aged man is none other than Kun Li, the owner of Zhenling Island.
There are also seven or eight people in the palace, all of whom have the cultivation of the Yuan Infant stage, and they are all figures with some prestige and influence overseas. It's just that at this time, they all have solemn faces, and some of them still have a trace of worry in their eyes.
Today's update is complete. I originally wanted to write more things in Paris, France, which was a mess of France in the book, but when I was writing, I suddenly felt a little bored, so I hurriedly brought it over, and it can be regarded as a temporary explanation of the goals of Lan Xiaoxue and the three of them for a period of time in the future, and the emotional dispute between them and Li Peicheng has come to an end for the time being.
In fact, it is not difficult for you to see that from Liu Zhiyun talking about retiring to Qiandao Lake, to the arrangement of Lan Xiaoxue and the three of them, I have accelerated the progress, Li Peicheng's relationship with the world will be less and less in the future, and the struggle and life in the cultivation world will become the theme, and the exploration and struggle of the alien planet is estimated to be staged soon in the near future, I hope you can like it. I can't say how wonderful it will be, but I will say that I will work every idea. I hope you can continue to support Lao Duan to write a wonderful story, thank you!
