The next morning, at a hotel near Charles de Gaulle Airport, Xie Wei followed the crowd out of the elevator and walked into the cafeteria.
Even though he had rested for a night, he could still see some fatigue on that beautiful face. There was nothing that could be done about it. He traveled from China to Los Angeles a few days ago, and then from Los Angeles to Paris now. The jet lag had just been adjusted.
Having to readjust again is really hard to adapt to.
However, Xie Wei was in a good mood at the moment. The trip to Los Angeles went smoothly, and there were no problems with Tangdou's re-examination. The next trip was for sightseeing, and she should have been in a happy mood... But after turning her head and looking around, her brows furrowed slightly.
Near the window of the restaurant, the little girl who came down first sat with Li Xiaolin, having breakfast. After all, she was young and had a good foundation, and her mental state seemed to be much better than hers. There were three people at the dining table, and the person sitting opposite them was a famous person with a gentle temperament.
A mature man, that is, her ex-husband, Su Jie.
He breathed a sigh of relief and walked away calmly. Xie Wei actually had no ill feelings towards Su Jie. The other person was not a person of low moral character. On the contrary, his background, character, quality, etc. were all high-quality choices. What was even more rare was that
He didn't have many bad habits from powerful families, so he was a rare example of a good man in their circle.
Their relationship is also different from ordinary couples whose relationships have broken down. In fact, the root cause of the failure of that short-lived marriage was not on them, but because there were too many complicated things involved behind it, and the outcome was already doomed.
Of course, Xie Wei did not deny her responsibility in it. As mentioned before, it was Xie Wei who initiated the divorce. In fact, they had a one-year agreement before the marriage. Su Jie finally kept his promise in the agreement, even if he
In fact, she was unwilling... So, in this regard, Xie Wei was somewhat apologetic, including hearing that the other party sadly went abroad because of this, and she couldn't help but feel wary of studying abroad. She didn't let go until the news of the family reorganization came later, and she sent him from afar.
bless.
Generally speaking, Xie Wei has no regrets about this relationship. She gave it a chance, gave it to Su Jie, and gave it to herself. But if she didn't feel it, she didn't feel it. If she didn't like it, she didn't like it. In the end, she had to break up.
What I didn't expect was that Su Jie would suddenly return from overseas, become single again and pursue her again.
It is said that after three days of separation, everyone was treated with admiration, and the reappearance of Su Jie really made Xie Wei a little surprised. Perhaps due to the influence of his overseas experience in these years, this man with a gentle personality and no independent opinions has changed significantly.
She was very persistent, including sending flowers to her work every day regardless of rain or shine, and seeking every opportunity to meet and interact with her. Later, she spent a lot of money to buy the opposite company. She was obviously the boss but acted like an employee of her company. She would pop in to visit her every now and then, and even the two companies had no relationship at all.
Employees of companies where the industry intersects are also very familiar with each other... This was something that was impossible to happen before.
Speaking of Xie Wei's lack of feelings for Su Jie, a small part of the reason lies in her personality. It doesn't mean that she has to find a stronger partner, but Xie Wei, who was dedicated to her career back then, did look down on Su Jie's gentle temperament.
Now, the latter seems to have realized this and has become extremely proactive and enthusiastic, which makes Xie Wei even more speechless and burdened...
"Good morning, Weiwei." Except for a few blond and blue-eyed crooked nuts, there were only two company employees in the restaurant. Hearing the greetings coming from behind, Su Jie turned around and stood up, pulling out the chair next to him.
The tone is concerned, "Did you have a good rest last night? If you feel uncomfortable, we can stay here for another day to reverse the jet lag and then go out to play. There is no rush."
"Thank you, I'm fine." Xie Wei politely thanked the other party, but did not refuse the other party's kindness. She sat down on the chair that was pulled out. She had been trying to keep the relationship within the boundaries of friends. As for what Su Jie thought, then
It's not something she can decide. Just like this team-building trip, the other party did a good job of keeping it confidential. Xie Wei didn't know about it in advance. Of course, even if she knew in advance, there was nothing she could do. She couldn't do it because of personal reasons.
Cancel this team building event.
"What do you want to eat?" Li Xiaolin, who was sitting opposite, smiled and stood up proactively.
"A cup of milk, um, let's have some hot coffee, to refresh myself, and add two egg tarts." Xie Wei thought about it, glanced at the newspaper on the table, she didn't recognize the French one, and turned her eyes to Sugar, who was pressing the phone on the other side of the table.
Dou, "What were you talking about just now?"
"Ah? No, it's noon domestic time now. I'm reminding my brother not to forget to feed the pork belly." Tangdou raised his hand and shook his phone, replying with a smile.
"We...Assistant Li and I were just discussing whether to change the itinerary." Su Jie originally wanted to help pick up the food, but seeing Li Xiaolin who had left the table, he had no choice but to sit down again and turned around.
Meeting Xie Wei's confused look, she explained, "It doesn't seem to be very peaceful here recently."
The stall owner pointed to the newspaper on the table and continued, "The news just came out. Yesterday afternoon, a truck crashed into the police station. The truck was loaded with a large amount of ammunition and weapons. It is suspected to be related to terrorist activities. Oh, and there are other things that are not interesting.
Speculation analysis, such as the arms dealer got the wrong delivery location, ha——"
Xie Wei was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but frown: "This kind of thing will happen in France? Where is the location? Does it overlap with our itinerary?"
"That's not true. It's on the southeastern border coastline, close to Marseille. We can't get there."
"sure?"
"Uh, sure, it's written in the newspaper. I know a little French, so I can't get it wrong." Su Jie looked at Xie Wei strangely. The latter's reaction was a bit big, and he didn't think much about it. He just thought Xie Wei was
He was worried about the safety of the members of the tour group, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, you also know that overseas is not as good as at home, the situation on both sides is different, it should be fine... Speaking of the international situation, from the overall security situation, North America is the best
It’s better than Europe, so I previously suggested that our itinerary be on the North American side…”
When the Little Candy Tour Group was reorganized, Xie Wei collected suggestions from employees and came up with two alternative locations, one in North America and the other in Europe.
Xie Wei chose the latter, and the reason was very simple. After the last brawl in Los Angeles, Xie Wei really had no confidence in the security situation in North America. Including taking Tang Bean to Los Angeles for review, Xie Wei had made plans with Kyushu Rise in advance.
Zong Qing reported it to ensure travel safety.
Of course, Su Jie didn't know this. He wanted to change his travel itinerary to North America, not because of safety considerations, but because he had studied in North America before, including later reorganizing his family, etc., and had lived there for many years.
He plays half of the home court. If he can pull the tourist group over, he can naturally show it off in front of Xie Wei.
Unfortunately, after Xie Wei thought about it, she still insisted on the original itinerary without making any changes. Seeing this, Su Jie had no choice but to give up. Then after Xie Wei had a simple breakfast, the reserved travel bus slowly came over and stopped at
Hotel entrance.
Paris is the starting point of this trip. The small candy tour group will stay here for one day, visit the city's scenic spots, and then go elsewhere. As for shopping, there is no rush. They will return here on their return trip.
One or two days of free time will be reserved.
When he stood up and left the table, a middle-aged foreign man in a crisp suit, with two meticulous mustaches, and an overall temperament that looked a bit like a lawyer suddenly came over. He smiled friendly at first, then pointed at Su Jie and put it away in his hand.
Newspaper: "Excuse me, sir. Have you read this newspaper? If possible, can you give it to me? Or, I can pay for it."
Su Jie couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. The man shrugged helplessly, and then said: "I'm sorry, mainly because I went to the front desk to ask just now, and they said the newspaper was sold out, so..."
"Oh, of course, you don't need to pay. I've already read it. Here you go."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
No one took this incident seriously. After handing over the newspaper, Su Jie chased Xie Wei and others out of the restaurant. In the same place, a middle-aged man who looked like a lawyer looked down at the news printed on the front page.
, the illustrations of weapons and equipment scattered on the floor, his expression couldn't help but change, he immediately put away the newspaper, took out his mobile phone, and strode towards the elevator.
Up to the top floor, the presidential suite area seems to have been completely booked. There are more than ten sturdy men in black suits standing on both sides of the corridor. They all look like strangers and should not be approached, but they do not stop the middle-aged man in a hurry.
man.
Knocking on the door, there were several men sitting on the sofa in the room. They were also wearing suits. They were either smoking, drinking coffee or silently cleaning their guns. Their status was obviously higher than those in black suits outside. The middle-aged man looked towards the inner bedroom.
Ask directly: "Are you awake?"
"The boss is washing up..."
"What's wrong, Rose?" At the door of the bathroom in the suite, a tall old man with slightly frosted temples but a well-maintained figure stepped out, holding a wet towel in his hand, soaking his eyes, and the mountains and rivers between his eyebrows overlapped.
Don’t be angry and be proud.
His name is Vito Pacino, an invisible rich man. He owns shares in several well-run steel mills scattered in various European countries, as well as some miscellaneous other industries. These are all things that can be placed on the market
Things on the table. In addition, he is also the contemporary head of the Pacino family and a powerful figure in the Temple of Hell.
Of course, these latter identities are not enough for outsiders to appreciate.
"Perhaps you should take a look at this, the Le Monde that just came out this morning." The middle-aged man who took the towel, handed over the newspaper, and called him Ross said.
The old man did not refuse. He looked at the illustrations and text on the front page of the newspaper. His expression did not change, but his slightly cloudy brown eyes moved, revealing a somewhat unknown meaning.
"It has been confirmed, this is our industry." Ross reminded.
"I know, it's the Irish line." Vito smiled inexplicably and said with emotion, "Have I ever told you? Decades ago, when I first became an adult, the Pacino family had not yet
In today's scale, my father is just a businessman who made war fortune. When I started to get involved in family affairs, it was my father who took me and my brother Gianni, who died young, to run this line. I still remember back then.
I made some extremely stupid mistakes. I was too nervous and almost got caught by the National Defense Force when I was passing through. Fortunately, Gianni was smart and took the opportunity to quarrel with me and beat me up before covering it up...
"
Shaking his head, coming back from the long memories, Qingmao put down the newspaper and said, "Let's check, are there any suitable candidates?" This question was naturally directed to Ross, but at this time, there was a man with a secret message on the other side of the sofa.
The young man with brown shoulder-length hair and a rather sunny and handsome appearance stood up and shrugged: "Let me try, BOSS, I won't let you down."
"Lawrence..." Looking at this handsome and aggressive subordinate, Vito thought for a while and looked at Ross again, "What do you think?"
"Then let Lawrence go." Ross didn't think about it for long. He nodded in agreement and explained, "I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the others if they go. There are still some things I haven't had time to talk about. Lawrence, please listen to what happened in Marseille last night.
The family branch has already dispatched people to investigate, including a complete action team, but no news has been returned until now. It is speculated that the situation is more serious... The other party is not a good person. Lawrence is very skilled and may be able to help.
Busy."
"That's it. When is the flight...it's still an hour away? Then order me breakfast first."
After waving his hand, Vito turned and walked back into the house, obviously not taking this matter to heart. That was the fact. If this historic transportation line had not been of special significance to him, he might not have chosen to intervene.
, has its own internal family structure to handle the matter, and at most it will be done by reading a briefing when it is finally settled.
