"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, the mayor only asked us to invite you back and didn't mention anyone else."
Xu Qian responded without hesitation, "If that's the case, just go back by yourself."
"Mr. Xu, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong." The man immediately changed his words, "I mean, of course you and this beautiful lady can go together, but Mr. Mayor may need to go there together for a period of time. I will speak with you alone while we take care of this beautiful young lady during that time.”
Xu Qian snorted coldly, "Let's go!"
This street is a pedestrian street. After reaching the intersection, two cars were parked illegally in the middle of the entrance of the pedestrian street. One of them looked expensive.
Xu Qian and Qian Shu got into the luxury car, and the others got into a car behind them, and the car quickly entered the traffic.
"Do you know that mayor?"
"do not know!"
"Then be careful."
If it were two days ago, Qianshu might not have said these caring words to Xu Qian, but now it seems that the trip to France has brought the two people closer.
"Are you going to the City Hall?" Xu Qian looked at the road becoming increasingly desolate. He didn't think that the Paris City Hall should be in a remote place.
"No, sir, we are heading to Filardi Manor." The driver replied with no emotion in his tone.
"What the hell is Filardi Manor? Why isn't it the city hall?" Xu Qian sounded very dissatisfied, and at the same time he was ready for a fight.
"Filardi Manor is the residence of Mayor Filardi. I am only responsible for driving, sir. I don't know the rest."
"Grandma's fault!" Xu Qian cursed secretly, "What on earth does the mayor want to do? Why did he bring me to his house?"
Angry as he was, he had no intention of leaving right now. He wanted to find out what the mayor wanted to do.
The Firadi family was originally a wealthy businessman. It was the grandfather of the mayor who started to make a fortune. In their generation, they began to develop into politics. Today, Firadiac is the most successful descendant, able to achieve the goal of civilization in this world. The mayor of a metropolitan city is inseparable from Firadiac's own efforts and the full support of his family.
Firadi Manor was originally the residence of the Firadi family. After Firadi Jacques ran for mayor a few years ago, the family decided to give up the manor to the Jacques family. After all, at this level, it is not just about talking. There are great scholars in laughter, but there are no white people in contacts. If you invite the vice president or something to your home one day, it will be on the stage, right? European politicians are all rich, this is normal.
As soon as the wheels stopped, the car door was opened from the outside.
"Mr. Xu, I'm glad you can come to my humble home." What greeted him was a man in his forties, with a short stature and curly flaxen hair.
"Mr. Mayor?" Xu Qian didn't know the mayor, but he thought he was the one.
"Just call me Jacques." The mayor had a gentle attitude and a smile.
"This is my wife Daila." The two held hands tightly, and Jacques introduced him sideways.
Xu Qian looked at the young woman next to the mayor. She was a beautiful Western beauty, nearly 180cm tall. Perhaps out of consideration for Jacques' face, she only wore flat shoes. She is probably not even thirty, so she is probably not the mayor's first wife.
You really can do anything if you have money! Xu Qian made up countless vulgar scenes on his own in an instant.
Dai La approached Xu Qian with a smile, but soon, he felt something was wrong, because this Western beauty was still approaching him, exceeding the normal social distance.
What is she going to do? Her husband is standing next to her.
Daila's face pressed against his, and a strange sound came out of her mouth.
Only then did Xiao Xu realize that he was overthinking it. This is the world-famous French veneer gift! Next, Dai La hit her right cheek again, and Xu Qian followed suit and made some noises in his mouth.
Xu Qian looked at Qianshu and said, "This is my friend, Qianshu."
Qianshu doesn't understand French, and she has no sense of social interaction. For her, just walking around and looking around is good. As for her to greet people with a smile, this is simply impossible.
Jacques had already seen Qianshu. If he hadn't tried hard to restrain himself, his eyes would have stayed on Qianshu. Now that Xu Qian has introduced him, he can naturally go up and shake hands.
To his surprise, he stretched out his hand, but Qian Shu pretended not to see it, looking into the distance with his eyes, as if he was a transparent person.
This was the result Xu Qian expected. It would be strange for Qianshu to ignore him.
Jacques must be angry, but a dignified mayor would not show it just like that. Della immediately stepped forward to resolve the embarrassment for her husband. In her opinion, Qian Shu was probably not used to shaking hands with men. She heard that Chinese people were very particular about physical contact between men and women, so as a woman, there would be no problem.
Dai La confidently wanted to kiss Qian Shu for a kiss, but she didn't expect what happened next, which she would never forget.
She felt like she was being pulled by an invisible hand, unable to take another step forward. This was a very bad experience for this Western beauty who had never been directly exposed to the means of cultivating immortals.
The temperature around these people has dropped to freezing point. If the kiss on the cheek is not done, it would be a hundred times more embarrassing than a failed handshake.
Xu Qian covered his face with one hand. Although he was not very popular in the class in the past, he had never made the scene so ugly. With a gentle touch of his palm, Daila's body returned to its original position, and she took a step back and returned to Jacques.
Although Jacques is not a monk himself, he is well-informed. Even his subordinates and bodyguards are many capable people. He can understand the entire situation at a glance.
"This friend of mine rarely has contact with people, so I took her out to travel and see the world."
"Understandable..." Jacques made a polite gesture of invitation.
Entering the living room, dining seats for four have been arranged. It seems that they were notified when they were on the way, so Qianshu's position was temporarily added, but I don't know if Dai La was arranged to be present at the beginning.
It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, which was a bit early for dinner, but I hadn't even eaten half full at Daniel's place before, so it was okay to have another meal.
During the dinner, Jacques was very enthusiastic. Whenever the chef brought a dish, he introduced it eloquently, just like a food critic. But he remained silent about the reason for inviting Xu Qian. It seemed that this was just a family gathering between old friends.
Dai La is still worried about Qianshu's indifference, but she won't get angry in front of Xu Qian. If she couldn't do this, Jacques wouldn't marry her. However, Daila never spoke to Qian Shu again during the dinner. Qian Shu was naturally happy to be quiet. Jacques only greeted Qian Shu once or twice in a gentlemanly manner, and didn't care whether Qian Shu responded.
After dessert, Jacques suggested to Xu Qian: "Can we go to the study room? Qian, there is something I want to share with you."
Xu Qian understood that it was time to talk about business.
"Okay, let's go." He turned to Daila, "Please take care of her."
Dai La smiled and said there was no problem, rolling her eyes at Qian Shu countless times.
Xu Qian naturally has a clear mind, but he is not worried at all about what will happen if Qianshu is left here alone. If he is worried, he is also worried about Dai La.
The study room that Jacques mentioned was actually a relatively hidden reception room. The two of them sat on the sofa, and two sexy bunny girls appeared out of nowhere, one with a drink and the other with a cigar.
"This is my collection of brandy and cigars. Do you want to try them?"
I had already tasted a small amount of wine during the meal, but Xu Qian was still able to accept fine wine.
"You can try the wine, but forget about the cigarettes."
Jacques waved his hand, and the girl holding the wine poured wine for the two of them. The cigar girl only lit a cigarette for Jacques. After that, the two women retreated obediently.
"Qian, I saw you when we were doing a press conference in China, and I have been paying attention to the news about you since then. You are really amazing."
"Jacques, I hope you can go straight to the point. You also know that the time you allow me to stay is not long." Xu Qian smiled gently, but the implication made Jacques feel very embarrassed.
"Qian, this is why I hope we can be friends."
Xu Qian made a gesture of listening attentively, and Jacques continued: "You also know that from the Congress to the local level, we are all controlled by the Holy See. On the surface, we are still an independent and sovereign country, exercising the right to manage the country. The monastery is only responsible for communicating with the country. Matters related to monks, but now there are more and more monks. With the invasion of other worlds, related matters have been involved in almost every field. The power of the monastery has been infinite. There is almost nothing they cannot intervene in. Not only us, but also Europe Other countries feel this way too, so we want to change that."
"Change? Do you have the strength?" Xu Qian sneered and told the essence of the truth in a simple sentence.
