Chapter 35 Chapter 35: Once the banquet is violated, it will be a drama...
Soloni Grand Hotel.
The huge reception hall is full of lights and colors. Tonight is the celebration venue after the successful conclusion of the Sin Chew Group's bidding project.
The reception hall is magnificent, with chandeliers dotting the ceiling like stars. Every beam of light falls perfectly on the exquisite carpet, reflecting patches of brilliant light.
Celebrities dressed in various haute couture clothing, suits and ties, with cuffs and ties flashing a low-key luxury, chatted and laughed while drinking.
Guests gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other, discussing the latest market trends or future cooperation possibilities. This was a feast of resources and contained endless business opportunities.
A melodious little dance tune sounded.
Everyone's eyes were more or less implicitly focused on the organizer of the banquet.
Jin Er, President and Director of Sin Chew Group.
Of course, Xirui, who was forced to sign the contract, was dragged along by Jiner. Mr. Jin was very generous. He bought it as soon as he said he would. With a wave of his hand and a swipe of his black card, he bought a large flat for Xirui with full payment.
But unfortunately, his boss was a workaholic, so he had to work overtime as well. He didn't live in the luxurious apartment for many days and most of the time he lived in the company.
Xirui stood beside Jin Er and wanted to sigh, but he held it back:
"Boss Jin, what we're saying is, there's no end to making money, right? We've already been working overtime for half a month! Don't you have to go home during this half month?"
Jin Er turned his head and glanced at Xi Rui, his cold jade eyes carrying a faint warning:
"I'm bringing you here today to familiarize you with the business. Do your job well, and don't be too curious. Don't ask about my personal matters like whether I'm coming home or not."
“…”
Xirui raised his eyebrows and shrugged, indicating that he wanted to turn off the microphone.
Well, it seems that he had a quarrel with his wife, and he took out his anger on him, which led to him working non-stop and exploiting him for a whole half month.
It doesn’t matter if Jin Er doesn’t have a holiday, but he hasn’t had a holiday for half a month. What happened to the agreement of working five days and resting two days?
Jin Baopi, ah Jin Baopi, no humanity at all.
"Or if you have time, you can help look for Louis. Maybe if you find him, I'll give you a vacation."
Jin Er naturally didn't know what Xirui was thinking. Even when he was joking, he always used this indifferent tone.
Xirui suddenly stopped laughing:
"Ahem, Mr. Jin, you should trust that private detective you hired for 3.5 million. They say everyone has their specialties. How about we change the terms of our vacation?"
Xirui came to the Zerg three years ago. Thanks to the help from his elder brother Bai Yueguang, he went to military school with Xiu Wen.
The private detective that Jin Er hired, who cost 3.5 million star coins, was really capable and had found Xirui a year ago.
However, Louis has not been found yet, and we don’t know whether he is still alive or dead.
...Xirui chose to pray silently.
"Go and meet Perlans later. The Rhine Group specializes in high-tech arms business."
Jin Er stood under the spotlight, wearing a black suit. The texture of the suit shone with a faint luster under the light, reflecting the prosperity around him, but he maintained a calm and detached attitude.
The next second, Xirui was amused by Jin Er's attitude of staying out of the matter. He was a little unbelievable and scratched his ears:
"No, Mr. Jin, you have to pay overtime if you exploit your employees, right? Otherwise, I'll sue you with my labor contract."
"Didn't I buy you that large flat?" Jin Er asked with a raised eyebrow.
Also, really.
Xirui: "...Hey, cousin, you are my cousin, we are close friends, talking about money will only hurt our relationship!"
Now he knows to call me cousin.
"But if I were to go and meet with a big boss like Perrance, wouldn't you be out of work, cousin? You're not going to slack off, are you? That's not okay!"
Before Xirui and his good friend could put their arms around Jin'er's shoulders, Jin'er dodged.
Jin Er frowned and looked at Xirui, obviously speechless about Xirui's guess.
“Earl Baker is here today as well. This bidding is the first time we’ve cooperated with Earl Baker’s Mansion.
This kind of royal project will definitely involve nobles. I'll go see him right away. Take Perance to the east balcony so they don't run into him."
Xirui thought about it and finally found the name of Earl Baker from the aristocratic knowledge he had been cramming for half a month.
Earl of Baker,
He is the male father of Perrance.
However, there are rumors that their relationship was so bad that Pearlance had moved out of Earl Baker's Court long ago.
Judging from Jin'er's reaction, it seems that the rumors are true.
"alright."
Before leaving, Jin Er said,
"You should have already met with RWE's project a week ago. Now that Perlance is here, you need to be prepared. RWE is a very important partner of ours."
Xirui glanced at the door.
I saw Perrance coming in from the corridor. Perrance was very easy to recognize. He liked to wear light-colored suits, had silver hair, and wore a pair of iconic gold glasses.
When Xirui saw Perrance come in, he smiled and walked over to greet him:
"Hello, Lord Perrance."
Under the spotlight, the collar of Perlance's white suit was embroidered with delicate and exquisite gold orchid patterns, with gold threads thinly wrapped around it.
He wore a pair of snow-white gloves, slowly extended his hand, and shook hands with Xirui politely:
"Hello, Lord Xirui."
His every move and gesture revealed his good upbringing and etiquette. Even the most picky etiquette master in the world could not find anything to criticize in Perrance.
There is a sense of extreme excellence that comes from the fact that other people’s children grow up to become the CEO of other people’s families.
The last time Xirui was meeting with the Rhine Group, I heard from Perlans's assistant, who seemed to be called Mia, that the assistant's job was to work three days and rest one day, and the three assistants took turns, which was very happy.
Look, look, work three days and rest one day, this is the CEO of other companies, and it’s paid leave, the treatment is simply amazing.
Xirui secretly criticized Jin Er again in his heart.
Perrance nodded:
"It's an honor for you to receive me. Then, can we find a place to discuss the details of the cooperation?"
Xirui nodded naturally.
"Let's go to the west reception room. It's a little quieter there. Want a drink? President Jin specially prepared some cognac."
Death is expensive, it’s really expensive.
The price of tens of millions per bottle made Xirui feel that face-saving projects were really a money-burning thing. The most expensive thing he had ever done was actually playing with guns and racing cars.
But doing business does cost money.
The reason why this bottle of vodka is so expensive is that the bottle is made of white gold and platinum, and is inlaid with more than 3,000 diamonds. The value of the wine is far less than that of the diamonds. It is purely a face-saving project.
——
An hour and a half later.
Perlans drank two glasses of wine in the reception room. Since the Sin Chew Group was so hospitable, it would be bad if he didn't drink.
However, Perrance himself has stomach problems.
He drank two more cups within an hour and a half. After discussing the cooperation project, he felt a little stomach cramp, but there was no expression of abnormality on his face. He just said he wanted to go for a walk.
Perrance walked into the bathroom, took off his gloves and put them in his pocket, turned on the faucet, trying to wake himself up a little, and drops of water slid down his fingertips.
He looked up and stared at himself in the mirror.
It was a slightly haggard face, pale and thin.
Perlance was stunned, as if at this moment, all disguises were removed in front of this small mirror.
He realized that he was indeed very tired.
He practically fled in the morning.
Running away from your own home may sound a little ridiculous, but it is the truth.
Now, maybe that strange male insect is still waiting for him to return home... ?
Will it? Will the male insect wait for me to come back?
This feeling was a bit strange. He had never allowed anyone to live with him at home, let alone allow anyone to step into his private life.
Although the reason why this male insect entered his life was unavoidable, he really needed this male insect.
But it feels really weird.
Instinct and reason seem to be fighting.
Perrance picked up the handkerchief he brought with him, lowered his eyes to hide the expression in his eyes, wiped his hands, and took out the pair of gold-rimmed glasses from his pocket.
His fingertips lightly touched the frame of his glasses, and the glasses chain swayed slightly with his movements, making a slight sound. The sound was particularly clear in the quiet bathroom, like a rhythm of pain, resonating with his aching stomach.
The glasses have no prescription, they are plain glasses.
But Perrance has always had the habit of wearing glasses, as if he were wearing a mask.
After putting on his glasses again, Perlans put on his gloves again, walked out of the bathroom and crossed the corridor. He originally wanted to go back to the reception room, but when he passed the hall, he was blocked at the exit of the hall.
"Perrance, it's been a long time."
Three steps away from Purance, Earl Baker was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, as if he was very "surprised" to see Purance.
Earl Baker is in his prime, his short silver-gray hair shows the accumulation of time. He often has a gentle smile on his lips. However, beneath this kind appearance, there is a pair of extremely sharp eyes.
They reveal the shrewdness and calculation unique to businessmen. They seem to be constantly weighing the value of everything in the world, perfectly blending the noble temperament of the nobility with the profit-seeking instinct of the businessman.
As an elite who has been working in the business world for many years, he has the ability to grasp interests accurately and ruthlessly, so he would find Perlans at this time - the woman who had already fallen out with him.
The moment I saw Earl Baker.
Perrance felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen.
When he saw Earl Baker, he seemed to recall the slap he had received in public.
But if you look into it more deeply, it’s not just about that one slap, it’s about a lot of things.
It was the cane that Perrance had received on his calves as a child—a blow to the calves was more painful, less visible, and more respectable.
Perrance would also be punished for some small mistakes, even the slightest sound of cutlery and plates colliding.
Lock the person in a room with the door locked and do not allow them to eat for a whole day or two.
Servants, acting on Lord Baker's orders, would push young Perrance into the water, pull him up, and push him back into the water, causing him to choke on water, suffocate, regain air, and then be forced to suffocate again.
This is the rule followed by Earl Baker. The rules are the most important. Once violated, there will be severe punishment and pain.
The next second, Perrance realized that a mocking expression appeared on his face:
"What a fuss, Lord Baker."
At this moment, Perlance showed a rare sharp side. Facing this male insect with a blood relationship, he was unwilling to even call him father.
Some time ago, the stock price of Rheinland Group fell by several points - because of a rumor, or a piece of gossip.
Perlans, the real ruler of the Rhine Group, is actually in far worse health than rumored by the outside world. Pheromone rejection syndrome cannot be cured or delayed, and he may not even live for five years.
The news first came from Earl Baker's Palace.
Even Perrance wouldn't take this tactic seriously, but it was like being bitten by a bug on the road, which only made people feel annoyed and disgusted.
"You still need to practice hard, Perrance, my child."
Lord Baker smiled kindly.
"Look, what you're thinking actually shows on your face. Is this what I taught you?"
"Teach me?" Perrance repeated in a low voice, and then said coldly,
"I don't need you to teach me."
"Don't be like that, dear Pearlance. Don't be like a little hedgehog with thorns all over your body. That's not cute at all."
Lord Baker came a little closer and looked at Perrance with a smile.
"It's all your fault that your sire passed away too early, so he didn't teach you well and ended up like this."
Perrance twitched his lips, his crystal blue eyes filled with indifference:
"Listening to you say these few words is simply a waste of my time. I'm sorry, I won't accompany you anymore."
