Xiao Yichen has lived in the UK for many years and has gradually become accustomed to the lifestyle here. Although he has not built a house himself, the memories of their hard work can be seen in every corner of this villa.
The entire row of shrubs surrounding the yard were planted by him and Ferdo themselves. After years of growth, they have grown three to four meters above the fence, forming a natural barrier to protect their privacy.
"Let's go inside first."
With that said, Xiao Yichen helped them get their luggage out of the car.
"I have arranged your bedrooms on the first floor. The easternmost one is a suite. There is also a terrace in the room, where you can drink tea and rest."
Xiao Yichen entered the villa and spoke to them.
Xiao Muyou nodded with satisfaction, because she understood what her brother meant. Here, there was no need to sleep in separate rooms, which saved her from having to crawl into bed in the middle of the night.
"Over there is the kitchen and dining room, and there is a small gym there, which is also used as Ferdo's practice room. If you want to drink, there is a wine cellar on the first floor, and there is also a video room next to it. Usually, I and I
Ferdo is not at home during the day, so you can do as you please."
"Okay, little brother, we will stay here for two days. After that, A-Yan and I want to visit the place where he lived when he was a child."
Xiao Muyou heard this and immediately stopped him. From what he heard, Xiao Yichen wanted them to stay here while they were in the UK.
This is not a good thing. The world promised to be two people cannot be done by one more person, let alone two people.
Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then looked at Xiao Muyou. Seeing her firm attitude, he could only nod in agreement.
"Okay, I originally wanted you to stay here for a few more days. You two are the first guests of our villa."
"Okay, little brother, it's not like we won't come back in the future."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You can go and rest first. Let's be more casual at night."
Xiao Yichen arranged it, Xiao Muyou nodded, and then returned to the guest room with Lei Yan.
It was getting dark, probably because of the rain. Just after five o'clock, it became dark.
There was a sound of a car in the yard, a bang, the car door closed, and then there was a clear man's voice, speaking in authentic British English.
"Chen, I'm back. Are your sister and the others here? I bought lamb chops today. How about we have grilled lamb chops tonight?"
Before anyone could enter, the sound came in first. Xiao Yichen was preparing dinner in the kitchen. When he heard the sound, he immediately put down his tools and walked to the door to greet him.
"Are you tired? Dinner will be ready soon. They are still resting. You need to rest for a while while I cook the lamb chops."
Xiao Yichen took the ingredients from Ferdo's hand and returned to the kitchen.
Ferdo did not rest. For him, dancing was already an indispensable thing in his life. He loved dancing, so he did not feel tired at all.
"Do you need help?"
Ferdo's cooking skills are very good. Over the years, he has learned a lot of Chinese food from Xiao Yichen, and he often cooks.
"No, let's go find two bottles of red wine and juice the fruits over there."
While the kitchen was bustling with activity, in the guest bedroom, Xiao Muyou and Lei Yan took a rest for the afternoon and felt a lot more energetic.
They didn't dare to sleep too much, otherwise they would suffer from insomnia tonight. The two of them washed up and changed into two sets of comfortable home clothes. After all, they were at Xiao Yichen's house, and their brother didn't have so many rules.
"Hi Phil, long time no see."
Xiao Muyou and Lei Yan came to the kitchen and saw Ferdo making juice. Xiao Muyou walked over enthusiastically. She liked this British man very much.
The two hugged each other, which was a very common greeting in the local area. Feier was also very happy. This was the first time an outsider came to their place.
"Mu You, long time no see, welcome to London."
"Ah, it smells so good. Brother, what are you cooking for?"
"The lamb chops that Fair brought back were just grilled. Is your dog's nose so sharp?"
"Brother, how can you say that to me? I have lived with you since we were babies. I have a dog nose, so what do you have?"
Xiao Muyou said reluctantly, Xiao Yichen glared angrily and said something disgusting.
"Sharp-tongued Lei Yan, what's your vision? How did you fall in love with this girl?"
Xiao Yichen said jokingly, Lei Yan smiled slightly, took Xiao Muyou's hand and said.
"she's fine."
"Forget it, forget it, pretend I didn't say it, just take these out. Dinner will be served soon, and you can drink some red wine?"
Xiao Yichen looked at Xiao Muyou. He also knew that Lei Yan had undergone an operation some time ago, so he was seeking Xiao Muyou's opinion. As for Lei Yan, given his attitude just now, he knew that he had no family status.
"Okay, just drink a little, and A-Yan's body will recover."
"I understand, Lei Yan, it's not okay to be strict with your wife. As a man, you have to stand up."
"It's okay, I like to let her take care of it."
No matter how Xiao Yichen provoked him, Lei Yan just refused to accept it, and what he said was true. He had always been dominated by Xiao Muyou's ideas, and he himself enjoyed it.
Xiao Yichen was completely speechless, and at the same time he was very happy. It was his sister who approached her. Seeing Lei Yan pampering Xiao Muyou like this, the brother was naturally happy.
"cheers."
Dinner started, with red wine swaying and delicious food. In the end, Xiao Muyou drank a little too much and pulled Ferdo to dance.
At the dining table, Xiao Yichen and Lei Yan were sitting, each looking at their most important person, with thick smiles on their faces.
"Lei Yan, welcome to the Xiao family."
Xiao Yichen raised his wine glass and said seriously.
Last time at Xiao Siluo's wedding, Xiao Yichen only acquiesced in the relationship between Xiao Muyou and Lei Yan, but now that he knows that his family has accepted him, as an elder brother, of course he sincerely accepts it.
Lei Yan raised his wine glass and touched it lightly.
"Thank you, I haven't congratulated you yet."
Lei Yan said with a smile, "Congratulations", he didn't say anything clearly, but both of them knew that everything was unspoken.
Xiao Yichen looked at the two crazy people in the distance and said with a smile.
"I believe you will soon think of us like this. When the time comes, I will prepare a big gift for you."
Xiao Yichen said with blessings, but this time Lei Yan did not respond. He just looked at Xiao Muyou in the distance with far-reaching eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Xiao Yichen only thought that Lei Yan was immersed in this expectation and joy, and didn't think much about it.
The four of them continued to quarrel until about ten o'clock in the evening. In the end, Ferdo and Xiao Muyou were completely drunk. Fortunately, they drank well and did not make any jokes.
The next day, Xiao Muyou and Jiang Bo met up, but Lei Yan did not follow him. He found a reason to go to the Feng Group branch, and Xiao Muyou believed it.
"Lao Jiang, you've been working so hard recently. When is your appointment with Emmons Publishing House?"
"We'll meet here at half past nine. I asked the hotel to prepare a conference room. By the way, I brought everything you want."
Jiang Bo handed Xiao Muyou a document bag. Xiao Muyou took it without opening it, put it directly into the bag, and said.
"Thanks."
"Hey, you're welcome, let's go, they will probably be here soon."
Afterwards, the group went to the hotel's conference room.
In addition to Xiao Muyou, there were seven people who came to negotiate this time. Jiang Bo was in charge, Chen Li was assisting, and there were also two legal affairs officers, two financial officers, and one person in charge of the operations department.
At nine twenty-five, the door of the conference room opened, and Chen Li led Emmons' representatives in. The leader was Gu Li.
"Little Youyou, long time no see."
Gu Li looked playful and smiling. He was feeling very proud of himself recently.
Some time ago, Xiao Muyou compiled a small part of some of the information she had and gave it to Gu Li. Even though it was only a small part, it allowed Gu Li to eliminate several people from other factions.
And this is just the appetizer. Gu Li is looking forward to the most important information in Xiao Muyou's hand. As long as he gets this information, Emmons Publishing House can start a big purge. His publishing house
The leader can truly take charge of the overall situation.
No, when Gu Li saw Xiao Muyou, it was like seeing his benefactor. If it weren't for the wrong occasion and outsiders, Gu Li would definitely give him a warm hug.
Xiao Muyou looked at the red-faced Gu Li and smiled slightly. What she did was a favor to Gu Li. With this favor, there was basically no obstacle to the cooperation between the two companies.
"Brother Gu, long time no see, please sit down."
Compared to Gu Li's excitement, Xiao Muyou is quite calm. After all, she is now confident about this cooperation.
"Guys, this is our company's plan, as well as some future promotion plans for your company in Asia. As long as the cooperation is achieved, these plans will be carried out in an orderly manner, and I believe it will be on Emmons's year-end report.
The numbers became very beautiful.”
This kind of cooperation must be to the point, what is most important, interests, business cooperation, not charity, businessmen chasing profits, this is the foundation and the most important.
Xiao Muyou directly showed his sincerity. With the size of Yaohua in China, he could definitely increase Emmons' sales by two levels. This is still a conservative estimate.
