After sending Ling Hao's team to leave Sardinia on a large transport plane, Professor Levins and Adeline also packed up and prepared to return to the UK. Adeline took out the clothes one by one from the cabinet in the room and put them into the suitcase. When she picked up her cosmetic bag, she obviously felt that it was a lot heavier. When she opened it, she saw two ancient Greek gold bracelets inside. She quickly took the bracelets to find Professor Levins, who was also watching at the moment. The two golden masks in the closet were smiling bitterly.
"This Ling Hao is really interesting. He has clear grievances and is unwilling to take advantage of others. He does everything openly. There are really not many young people like him nowadays." Professor Levins said with emotion.
"Yeah, I'm becoming more and more interested in him. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have much interest in me. We were drinking at the banquet that day, and I wanted to take him to my room to see my collection of marine life specimens. He actually If I don’t go, I don’t know if I really don’t understand or if I am just pretending to be confused.” Adeline shook her head and smiled.
"You just gave up?" the professor asked teasingly.
"What can I do if I don't give up? People are not interested in me." Adeline shrugged.
The professor smiled bitterly and said as if talking to himself: "It would be great if our little ancestor could know how to advance and retreat. Once something arouses her interest, I'm afraid she will have to get her hands on it."
"Who are you talking about?"
"Who else could it be? My wife's niece Anne."
"Oh, it turns out to be the famous Anne Rothschild. Among all the major families in our generation, Anne is considered a legend. She received an MBA from Oxford University at the age of 21 and is a well-known motorcycle racer. He has acted in movies and created his own fashion and cosmetics brands. Now he is an executive in a family business. He is absolutely admirable, and his suitors have been lined up from the London Eye to Hyde Park. You also said Doesn’t she know how to advance or retreat?”
The professor glanced at her and said: "You don't know her well enough. Not only what you just said, she is now a seventh-level master of Jeet Kune Do, the European free diving record holder, and was just appointed as the head of the family business Asia this year. The executive vice president of the district is now based in Shanghai, China. It is precisely because she is so outstanding and beautiful that she is deeply loved by the elders of the family. Her life has been so smooth and she has never suffered any setbacks, so she She doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and she doesn't accept failure. This time she happened to come to my house for vacation. Yesterday I called my wife and told her about Ling Hao in detail. My wife had heard about Ling Hao, so she naturally agreed to help, but this Zhenhai The matter of Longhu aroused Annie's curiosity, and she took over the whole matter in a big way, and even planned to visit Ling Hao, a mysterious oriental man, after returning to China."
Adeline laughed: "She is really childish. What do you mean, is it possible that she will take Ling Hao by force and take it as her own? I don't think so, feelings are forced." If she doesn’t come, even if she is a princess, she can’t force others to fall in love with her.”
"The two haven't met yet, so I can't say for sure, but I heard that Ling Hao has a sweetheart. I guess there is no chance for Annie, but she will definitely fight for it persistently. She is definitely the kind who will never give up until she achieves her goal."
"These are minor. The key is that Ling Hao's affairs are not trivial. Annie takes over, can she handle it?"
"You can rest assured that the kid is very experienced in doing things and has a wide range of connections. If I leave this matter to my wife, it is nothing more than using the family's network. As for the Rothschild family, my wife is a married woman after all. My wife's daughter, and Anne is the real backbone of the family. She can use many more resources than my wife." Professor Levins smiled bitterly, and he wrapped the two golden masks and thought I'm afraid Ling Hao will be annoyed from now on.
Back in the port city, everyone divided the money they earned with ancient Greek gold coins, and returned to their usual peaceful life. Ling Hao went to the hospital during the day and accompanied his father to recuperate with Li Liang. The old man has not recovered his memory yet, but as his physical condition improves, he can eat a small amount every day, and the function of his digestive system is gradually recovering. The enhanced nutrition made Ling Yuan's complexion look rosier and he felt a little fatter. But after all, he had been lying in the hospital bed for so many years, and recovery could not improve much in just one or two months. Fortunately, now he could stand there by himself, which was of great significance to Ling Hao. He was very happy.
In addition to being in the hospital, after returning to the villa, Ling Hao had to familiarize himself with the power of "Zhenhai Longhu" under the guidance of Shui Lingxing. However, these powers were too terrifying. Ling Hao felt that he could not use them at all. If he accidentally leaked them, he would still be able to use them. It makes people think he is a monster. So Shui Lingxing used some tricks on him. Normally, Ling Hao's power belonging to "Zhenhai Longhu" was sealed. Only when he had no choice, Ling Hao needed to recite a complicated spell to unblock it. Not only him, but also the "Dragon Arc" sword shortened back to its original size after Ling Hao returned to normal. It would only be awakened and transformed into a long sword when Ling Hao's energy exploded.
"Shui Lingxing, tell me honestly, did you come up with this unblocking spell at random?" Ling Hao roared at Shui Lingxing upstairs in the villa.
"Yes, you don't like it?" Shui Lingxing said with an indifferent expression.
"Can't you find a human saying and use it as a mantra? What does 'being a person wandering between cow A and cow C' mean?"
"It's quite domineering. I originally planned to use 'Destroy you on behalf of the moon', but then I thought about it, you look a bit far away from Sailor Moon. How about this, 'If you ignore me now, you will ignore me in the future. You can't reach me.' Don't you like it? How about this, 'Don't mess with me, or you will die in a rhythmic manner'. Oh, Ling Hao, why are you beating people..."
Downstairs, Tian Yong, Xueting and others were drinking coffee and listening to the goings-on upstairs. Yuan Bing laughed so hard that she leaned on the sofa, clutching her stomach: "This mermaid is quite interesting. I thought she was a goddess just by her appearance. It turns out that she is a goddess." It’s a joke.”
Tian Yong timidly glanced at Xueting and quietly moved his coffee cup towards the trash can.
"How dare you! These are Blue Mountain coffee beans imported from Jamaica. They cost 5,000 yuan per pound, and you actually want to throw them away?" Xueting glanced sideways at Tian Yong, showing her majesty.
"I don't know what's so good about this stuff. It's too bitter and so expensive." Tian Yong nervously picked up the cup and took a big sip, with an expression on his face as if he was drinking medicine.
Xueting said earnestly: "You have to change your taste as a country bumpkin. Now we are all wealthy people. I don't expect you to play with those elegant things, such as appreciating art, appreciating operas, etc. You know how to play You can't do it even if you die. At least drinking coffee and tasting tea is not difficult, right? Learn the rules of eating Western food, business etiquette, etc. Do you want to be a rough man all your life? Look at Ling Hao, he has already Due to the relationship between Huxley and the Cavendish family, I asked Shi Si to check it for me. These two families are incredible. They are one of the ten most famous aristocrats in England and the absolute upper class. We will follow in the future. Ling Hao, there will be many opportunities to come into contact with these people. If you don’t learn some manners and manners, wouldn’t it be an embarrassment to the boss? Each of you, except Dr. Jiang who has this style, everyone else must learn from it!"
"Yes, yes, we know." Everyone reluctantly picked up their coffee cups and drank them one by one with grins on their faces.
At this time, Jiang Mingyu smiled evilly and said: "To be honest, you guys really ruined such a good coffee. You didn't adjust the newly bought coffee machine at all. It was too strong, and you were pursuing taste. It doesn't mean you have to drink black coffee. It will taste better with milk and sugar. Taste is for enjoyment, not for endurance." After speaking, Jiang Mingyu turned around and readjusted the coffee machine, then brought milk and some coffee. Cube sugar, and concocted another cup for each person.
Yuan Bing took a sip and immediately became intoxicated: "Well, is this the taste of elegance? How fragrant, how intoxicating, every drop of fragrance is rich, and the meaning is not exhausted." His eyes were blurred, as if his body had just been hollowed out. expression.
Others' eyes lit up after drinking: "Well, it tastes really good. It seems like Xueting didn't do it right."
Now these people are addicted. One cup left and one cup right, just a pound of coffee beans, which is not enough for them.
Ling Hao spent a whole day and finally was able to easily switch between normal people and "Zhenhai Longhu" at will. At this moment, the eyes of everyone downstairs are shining with blue light, like will-o'-the-wisps in the suburbs at night. I am afraid that by this time tomorrow, they will never be able to sleep.
More than a month has passed like this. Zhuxin is very busy and cannot talk for more than 10 minutes every time he calls, which makes Ling Hao very depressed. Ling Yuan is still recovering in the hospital with Li Liang accompanying him. After Tian Yong and the others had inspected and maintained the equipment, they all went to enjoy their own lives. Ling Hao did not go to the company, go to the hospital, go home, brag, fart, eat and drink with the guys in the team every day. , there is nothing else to do.
At noon this day, a group of people were playing poker in the living room boredly after lunch. Everyone had a lot of notes on their faces. They were very happy when the doorbell suddenly rang. Normally, except for express delivery and takeout, no one would ring the doorbell at all. Li Liang always pushed the door open and walked in. The guys playing cards pretended not to hear anything. Ling Hao, who was watching TV in big pants and a T-shirt, rolled his eyes and cursed, and ran to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Ling Hao was stunned. A tall girl wearing sunglasses, a leather jacket and jeans was standing at the door dragging a large suitcase. Although this girl has straight black hair hanging down to her waist, her high nose and devilish figure that is difficult for Asians to develop clearly indicate that she is a foreigner.
"Who are you looking for?" Ling Hao asked in confusion after being stunned for a long time.
"Are you Ling Hao?" The girl asked instead, speaking Mandarin fluently.
Ling Hao nodded mechanically. The girl smiled and said, "I'm here to find you. My name is Anne Rothschild, and Professor Levins is my uncle." As she said that, she stretched out her jade hand towards Ling Hao.
"Oh! Please come in." Ling Hao immediately understood who this was, and he didn't dare to neglect. After shaking hands politely, he quickly took the suitcase from the other person's hand and let him into the house. The living room suddenly became quiet. Ling Hao, Tian Yong, Zuo Pengfei and Shi Si, all with their faces covered with notes, stood there in a state of indignity, looking at this foreign girl who walked into the villa elegantly.
"Oh, the team is very energetic. It reminds me of my dormitory in college." Annie took off her sunglasses and waved to everyone.
Ling Hao was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in: "To me, it's more like a large car accident scene, which will make you laugh."
Anne showed a charming smile and said: "It doesn't matter, just arrange a room for me. I will stay with you during this period."
"Ah? Stay here with me? You are the eldest daughter of the Rothschild family, shouldn't you live in the presidential suite of a luxury hotel?" Ling Hao couldn't believe his ears.
"But there are no friends to talk to there. I like to stay with everyone, especially you. My uncle told me a lot of your stories, which are even more exciting than Hollywood blockbusters. This aroused my curiosity, so I came to you. Look, you won't welcome me, right?" Anne smiled charmingly, with wisdom and a hint of cunning flashing in her deep blue eyes.
