"The world is so big, so big that some people will never meet the most familiar stranger in their entire lives." "The world is also too small, so small that even if it spans thousands of miles, As soon as he turned around, he was still standing in the dim light and never left."
Ji Xiaoxi raised her black and white eyes and stared blankly at the young man standing in the foyer dozens of meters away.
It was obviously bustling here, but when she looked up, she saw him.
A simple buttoned cardigan paired with a Paul coat. The casual style is somewhat out of place among a group of well-dressed "upper-class people", but the outstanding demeanor smoothes out the differences in clothing and makes people not feel weird at all. feel.
I've obviously "escaped" to Paris, why... is he still here?
The girl thought blankly.
Then she saw Zhou Wang saying hello to the two beautiful women next to him, and then striding over.
As Zhou Wang approached, Ji Xiaoxi's heart beat faster and faster, until Zhou Wang came closer. When she lowered her head in a panic, she found that Zhou Wang did not speak to her, but smiled in surprise. Greeted another woman standing in front of them.
"Nora, why are you here?"
At this moment, Ji Xiaoxi suddenly realized that she was not alone here.
Inexplicably relieved, Ji Xiaoxi finally dared to raise her eyes and secretly looked at the young man, feeling complicated in her heart.
It's just that it seems impossible to deny that among the many emotions that surged in her heart at this moment, joy seemed to account for the majority...
After Wu Nala, the leader of the team, heard Zhou Wang's voice, she temporarily forgot her shame and anger. After being startled, she immediately He turned around and looked at Zhou Wang in surprise.
"Mr. Zhou...you, have you come to Paris too?"
Zhou Wang smiled and nodded, looking at Wu Nala in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
It's been a while since we last met. Why does it feel like this woman has become more beautiful?
Zhou Wang still remembered his first impression of her, that she was a mature young woman with good looks. She had a bit of charm, but her impression was far from stunning.
Wu Nala, who has now become the deputy general manager of Wuyou Media, is currently wearing a decent black Chanel skirt, with a V-shaped hollow neckline and a pearl necklace, which complements the snow-white truth. She has a slim figure, a delicate face, and the uniqueness of a mature woman. It has charm, and she carried it to the extreme.
Especially those bright red and moist lips, which inexplicably reminded Zhou Wang of an XP called "Swallowing Clouds and Smoke" that was recorded in her [Resume]... cough cough.
Zhou Wang put away his random thoughts and could only think that it was probably because she had never taken care of herself so carefully when he saw her before, right?
After all, her own foundation is definitely not bad.
"I just landed not long ago and I came here to buy some things... Nora, are you here on a business trip?"
Zhou Wang smiled and nodded. When his eyes glanced at the group of girls behind Wu Nala, he had already guessed something.
At this time, several girls following Wu Nala also reacted and greeted Zhou Wang with excitement, and Zhou Wang responded one by one with a smile.
Of course, these girls are not outsiders. They are all Internet celebrities under Wuyou Media. They have basically dealt with Zhou Wang during Wuyou Night.
Sunny, Yumeng, Mei Xiaobao, Princess Yuyao...
among them, there was only one beautiful girl Zhou Wang had never met before. After Wu Nala introduced her, she learned that her online name was "山海见 fog", and she was a girl who passed the national style. The popular blogger has not officially joined Wuyou Media yet, but the contract has been signed.
Interestingly, the other party is also from Yunnan Province, and he and Zhou Wang are fellow villagers.
"Mr. Zhou, you also know how serious the involution in the industry is now. In order to help these girls shoot some different materials, I took the initiative to apply to Mr. Zhang to lead the team to Europe..."
After Wu Nala's talk After explaining, Zhou Wang finally understood the reason why they appeared in Paris.
In fact, it's not surprising. I don't know which internet celebrity blogger started it. "Let Chinese aesthetics go to the world" has now become one of the hot topics in the field of short videos.
Because it is linked to national sentiments, as long as you shoot high-quality videos in this field, it is destined to be a hit, and there are many leading Internet celebrities who started their career based on this.
Even so, the cost of filming abroad is too high after all. Except for Lin Dantong's level of artists under Wuyou Media, the other management teams do not have sufficient budgets. Later, Wu Nala thought about it and simply formed a group. , came to Europe with a bunch of girls.
Zhang Shihao, the boss of Wuyou Media, was also very happy to see the results, and because Wu Nara had worked for Briony for many years and had lived in Europe for a period of time, he felt relieved to let her lead the team.
Before meeting Zhou Wang at this time, they had been in Europe for about a week and visited several countries such as Greece, the Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom. Paris was already their fourth stop.
"...Tonight is because Lucas sent me an invitation. I knew that the standard of this event was not low, so I thought about bringing them to participate and shoot some good video material. Unexpectedly, this invitation It seems to be fake..."
When she said this, Wu Nala's face became unsightly.
Next to them, the security personnel responsible for guarding the door were still staring at them with a vigilant look. If it hadn't been for Zhou Wang's sudden appearance, they might have been ready to drive them away.
Only then did Zhou Wang understand where the argument he just heard came from. He thought about it and asked in a low voice, "Lucas is Briony's deputy marketing director?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, you should still have someone else." Impression..."
"Yes, I remember."
Zhou Wang nodded. Lucas was one of the senior Brioni people who went to Wuyou Media to discuss cooperation with Wu Nala. He still had some impression, but Zhou Wang had another impression. Confuse.
"But Nora, when you resigned, didn't you already break up with Briony? Why are you still in contact with this Lucas?" "
Because when I was working, Lucas gave me some help. When I resigned, He also comforted me, and I always thought he treated me as a friend, so..."
Wu Nala looked very embarrassed.
She is not an idiot. At this point when she can't even get through the door, she has already realized the problem.
How could the invitation letter go wrong for a party of this size?
The only explanation is...she was tricked by Lucas.
At this time, Wu Nara was not only angry, but also extremely embarrassed and annoyed.
If it were just her, it would not matter even if she was humiliated. She was a girl from a rural area and had worked her way up from the bottom of sales to now. She had never experienced any difficulties. She was just shut out, which was not a big deal.
But at this time, she was not alone.
Behind her stood a group of girls dressed up for the reception. They followed her with anticipation and excitement, but now they couldn't even get in. After arguing with the security, tourists taking photos outside the door and The guests passing by have already cast strange glances.
Wu Nala may not care about herself, but what about the girls behind her?
You know, among the people who cast strange glances, there were even Chinese people...
If Zhou Wang hadn't happened to appear, several of the girls behind her might have run away.
Losing face is secondary. Wu Nala must also consider the impact this incident will have on her prestige. You must know that according to the contract, she has not yet passed the evaluation period for the position of vice president. She is even more worried that this will affect Zhou Wang. ...After all, it was Zhou Wang who got her to sit in this position against all odds.
"Mr. Zhou, why don't we leave first and I'll contact you after you're done?"
After Wu Nala heard that Zhou Wang also came with her friends, she thought for a while and whispered.
Although she was helpless, continuing to stay at the door would only make her more embarrassed. Wu Nala couldn't think of a better way for a while.
Before Zhou Wang had time to answer, at this time, the security guard who had been waiting for a long time came over with a frown and said in French:
"Sir, Madam, please stop blocking the entrance and exit of the reception..."
Wu Nala was just thinking When she opened her mouth, she heard Zhou Wang respond in French:
"Bonjour, Où est votre supérieur..."
Wu Nala turned her head in astonishment, surprise flashing across her beautiful eyes.
Mr. Zhou... speaks French so well?
She has taught herself Italian and knows a little bit of French. Although she can only communicate in the most basic and simple ways, it does not prevent her from instantly being able to hear that Zhou Wang's accent is so fluent and authentic that it is probably not the same as the real French. Compared with people, it's not much different...
The security guy was also startled for a moment, his attitude changed subtly unconsciously, and he quickly communicated with Zhou Wang in French, looking a little embarrassed.
Wu Nara couldn't understand everything, but she probably heard that Zhou Wang seemed to be asking where their person in charge was and wanted to negotiate with their person in charge directly...
Wu Nara was actually a little confused because she didn't know. After meeting the person in charge of security, what could Zhou Wang change? She didn't doubt Zhou Wang's connections and financial resources, but this was a foreign country after all!
At this time, after communicating with Zhou Wang, the security man who became more cautious finally lowered his head and said something into the headset. Soon, a middle-aged white man in a suit and tie came out of the foyer. Step out.
Judging from the respectful attitudes of the security personnel nearby, this man with a serious face is obviously the person in charge of security tonight.
Wu Nala saw a red and blue target-shaped brooch on the middle-aged man's chest, and she knew it was the logo of the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
And those who can wear this brooch are at least the middle-level people among them.
The person in charge who came over frowned and walked over after listening to the security guard explaining the situation. When Wu Nala unconsciously felt a little nervous, and even worried about whether Zhou Wang would be implicated in this, the person in charge suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Wang blankly.
Then under Wu Nala's blank gaze, the person in charge's expression changed rapidly. First he was in disbelief, then excited, and he quickly came up to meet her.
"Zhou, Mr. Zhou... do you remember me?"
What surprised Wu Nala even more was that the person in charge actually spoke Chinese. Although the accent was very strange, it was indeed Chinese.
Zhou Wang was also stunned. After taking a closer look at the other person's face, he couldn't help but suddenly realized that he had seen this man in the second scene of the [No. 003] memory gear.
The man at the time was the driver of the Rolls-Royce.
"Long time no see. It seems you've been promoted. Congratulations... If I remember correctly, your name is Leo?"
Zhou Wang smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Leo, Leo Robert!"
The man didn't expect Zhou Wang to really remember him, and his expression became more and more excited. But then he remembered something and forcibly restrained his emotions. He just saluted Zhou Wang respectfully:
"Mr. Zhou "What's your order for calling me here?"
"That's right..."
Realizing that the other party's Chinese was not particularly good, Zhou Wang switched to French and exchanged a few words with him.
After hearing this, Leo immediately nodded repeatedly, turned around and scolded the frightened security personnel on the side. The security guy quickly stepped forward to apologize to Wu Nara and others, then stepped aside and signaled to Wu Nara and others. Can enter the mansion.
Wu Nara was undoubtedly confused, because she was the only one who knew the true identity of the security chief. She also knew that tonight's reception was led by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry, but Zhou Wang, how could he have such a big reputation...
Or Say, just because he happened to know the person in charge?
But looking at the person in charge's attitude towards Zhou Wang, it was obvious that he was not treating a friend, but more like a superior. No, even a superior... didn't need to show that kind of awe-like look, right?
Wu Nara, who had gained insight into more details, couldn't figure it out, but the girls behind her didn't think so much.
They just said "Wow" one after another, and in the midst of enthusiastic discussions, they all cast admiring glances at Zhou Wang.
"Mr. Zhou can actually speak French...so handsome!"
"As expected of Mr. Zhou, he can eat anywhere!"
"I'm so wet..."
A group of young and beautiful girls looked at me with all kinds of watery eyes. , even Zhou Wang felt a little warm.
...Although he wanted to know who was so bold as to say "wet", but he couldn't check on the spot, so Zhou Wang could only walk forward as if nothing had happened.
Leo followed Zhou Wang, and after thinking for a while he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, because I didn't receive the order from the president in advance, do you think it is necessary to strengthen the security of the reception..."
Zhou Wang heard this For a moment, he heard something different from Leo's cautious inquiry. With a calm expression on the surface, Zhou Wang said in a joking tone: "What, is it dangerous for me to appear here?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, We still haven't been able to identify the person behind the last attack, please forgive me for my dereliction of duty..."
Leo Hui misunderstood, and after being startled, he quickly stopped and said with a hint of panic.
The girls behind them were a little confused when they saw this scene, and they also stopped.
There was a hint of gloom in Zhou Wang's heart.
Sure enough...
The attack in [No. 006] was not the only one. Judging from the information revealed in Leo's words, it was obvious that he had had similar experiences in Europe.
But Zhou Wangshang still retains a trace of doubt. Are these attacks deliberately created by the system to conform to the logic of reality, and are the reasons for his "clone" to be completely hidden behind the scenes?
After all, according to the wisdom displayed by his "clone" that is far beyond ordinary people, coupled with the omnipotence of the system, all monsters and monsters should have been destroyed long ago.
Of course, these are just Zhou Wang's speculations without evidence. In any case, he will not joke with his own life, so Zhou Wang thought about it and said,
"Do what you want."
"Yes!"
See Zhou Wang Not blaming himself, Leo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked: "What about the president..."
"You should contact Feier and ask him to come and see me if he has time."
"Okay!"
"Isn't that chair reserved for me?"
After Leo agreed, Zhou Wang remembered his previous curiosity and asked casually.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, the president has emphasized many times in internal board meetings that this should be the highest courtesy reserved for you. The chair symbolizes your ubiquitous gaze and is also used to remind the board members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry that Always be in awe..."
Leo explained with pride: "Some board members have raised questions, but Ms. Christine is also a solid supporter of yours, so with her support, this etiquette remains the same. Keep it."
"Ms. Christine?"
Zhou Wang couldn't help but be startled when he heard a name that was slightly familiar but he was not sure where he had seen it.
"She is the current heir of the Hermes family. Mr. Zhou...don't you remember her?"
Leo seemed a little confused.
Zhou Wang's mind felt like lightning struck, and he suddenly figured out a lot of things.
In the memory fragments he has read so far, it is true that this woman from the Hermès family has not appeared yet, but Zhou Wang has seen her name in the news related to Hermès. Now it seems that the contact between the other party and [him] should be Very tight too.
This seems to explain why his internal rating in Hermès is so high...
"Of course I remember."
Zhou Wang came back to his senses, smiled and nodded. Only then did he notice that Wu Nala and others were all He was forced to stop, curiously waiting for his conversation with Leo.
Because both of them spoke very fast French, even Wu Nara could not understand what they were talking about.
Although he was determined to extract more information from Leo, the timing was obviously not suitable at this time, so Zhou Wang waved his hand, indicating that Leo could leave.
"Mr. Zhou, I'll be on guard outside. If you need anything, call me anytime."
Leo saluted Zhou Wang respectfully, then turned and left.
After Zhou Wang led Wu Nala and others into the foyer, Miss Yang and Miss Di, who had been looking at the door for a long time, came over.
They didn't know what happened, but they were a little confused when they saw Zhou Wang suddenly bringing so many girls.
"It's Miss Yang and Miss Di..."
Except for Ji Xiaoxi who was relatively calm, the other girls were a little excited to see the two big stars.
After Zhou Wang briefly explained the reason for the incident, Miss Yang and Miss Di suddenly realized that they knew that Zhou Wang was a shareholder of Wuyou Media, so it was not surprising after hearing what happened.
Because of Zhou Wang's relationship, Miss Yang and Miss Di did not put on airs, but appeared very approachable and greeted the girls with smiles.
After they chatted with each other, and the boldest Yumeng took the lead, Zhou Wang finally had a chance to say hello to someone alone.
Endme, who was standing in the corner at this time, was hesitating whether to go up and take a photo with Miss Di, whom she liked very much. Suddenly, she felt the scorching temperature hit the back of the dress. Before she could exclaim, it was already I heard a deep voice coming from my ear:
"I miss you..."
There is another chapter, which will be posted before one o'clock
