The Black Card - Chapter 909

[Chapter 907 Funny Gentleman]

When he heard the non-standard Chinese coming from the mobile phone, Shi Lei knew that his guess was correct, it was Jenny who was calling.

“Shi, have you considered whether you want to come to my house to spend Christmas?” Jenny’s tone did not seem to be affected by Shi Lei’s rejection of her, and she was still very cheerful.

Shi Lei smiled and said: “Even if you invite me to your home for Christmas, you don’t have to call so early, right? Why do you British people have breakfast for Christmas?”

Jenny also laughed and said: “Shi, You are really a very funny gentleman, and I am really going to fall in love with you!”

Hearing Jenny’s passionate confession again, Shi Lei felt embarrassed.

“Uh… Jenny, can we not talk about this topic? You know, I…”

Jenny smiled coquettishly, and finally said: “You are actually a shy gentleman, okay, then do you want to come to my house? Christmas?”

“I will go to the appointment, but you may be a little disappointed. I learned your identity from Zhao Di and that you are a member of the Scola family. I happen to be very interested in calligraphy and painting, so, The purpose of my coming to your house for Christmas may be to have a good chat with your father, hoping that I can have a chance to see your family’s treasures.”

Jenny was slightly silent on the other end of the phone, but quickly said: “No matter what So, you are willing to attend my dinner party. But I have to tell you that you may also be disappointed. Although my father was elected as the mayor of London, his voice is not important in the family, unless , you can make my grandfather like you, maybe he will be willing to open a window for you to see the collection of Xiaoying Museum.”

Shi Lei couldn’t help but smile, Jenny is really a girl who doesn’t shy away, Xiaoying Museum When others said it was okay, she was obviously making fun of herself.

“I will try to make your grandfather fall in love with me too!” Shi Lei replied with a smile, but as soon as he said the words, he felt something was wrong. This word was also used very poorly, and it always made people feel a bit frivolous and ambiguous. .

Fortunately, Jenny didn’t seem to notice, or maybe she noticed but didn’t mind, because she only knew that she really liked Shi Lei at this moment.

“Then it’s settled. You Chinese people have a saying that a gentleman’s words are hard to follow. I think, Shi, you should be a gentleman.” “

Okay, see you in the evening.”

“No, I’ll see you in the afternoon. I’ll see you in the afternoon.” I’ll pick you up at three o’clock and then have afternoon tea at my house. Tea time is also an essential part of British Christmas.” “

Okay, the hotel I’m staying in is…”

“You don’t need to tell me. , I asked Butterfly a long time ago, I know where you live. Well, see you in the afternoon!”

Jenny hung up the phone, Shi Lei smiled and continued to enjoy his breakfast.

After returning to the room, Zhao Di also called. He said that Jenny had already told Xiaodie that he would invite them to his home for afternoon tea in the afternoon and then celebrate Christmas together.

Shi Lei said: “Well, Jenny called me when we were having breakfast. Did you give her the number?”

“Xiaodie asked me. I dare not not give it…” Zhao Di muttered, worried that Shi Lei would do this. Not happy.

Shi Lei smiled and said: “I’m just asking casually. If you tell me, it’ll be fine. I don’t like others investigating me. Not even the domestic media will know this number. Only people who are close to me will know it.” .”

“I told Xiaodie, and then Xiaodie told Jenny.”

“Well, let’s meet in the afternoon. I’ll wait for you at the hotel.” Just

when Zhao Di was about to hang up the phone, Shi Lei suddenly remembered something. Then he asked: “By the way, please help me ask Xiaodie what kind of gifts the British generally prefer. It’s not good for me to go to someone’s home as a guest and go empty-handed.”

Zhao Di was a solid person and immediately asked himself Girlfriend, Xiaodie took over the phone and said: “Master Shi, you don’t have to worry about gifts. If you buy things in London, Jenny’s family will definitely look down on you. It just so happens that I came to the UK this time and stayed a lot. I am going to give gifts to my classmates. At yesterday’s class reunion, some of them failed to attend as scheduled, so I saved a few items. One of them is Jin Junmei’s black tea. British people also like to drink tea, and they have always known about black tea. The birthplace of our country is China, and it is also Lapsang Souchong. I think it is most appropriate for you to take the bud tip of Lapsang Souchong as a gift.”

Shi Lei felt that such a gift was indeed good. , then said: “Okay, I’ll help you bring it with you. I’ll give you the price of the tea.” “

Oh, it doesn’t matter how much money it is, Master Shi, please don’t be polite to me. Besides, you are Zhao Di’s boss, if I accept money from you, his petty mind will definitely worry about you giving him little shoes in the future, so, for both private and public purposes, please don’t talk to me about money anymore.”

Shi Lei laughed and said: “Okay, then I’ll thank you. You also tell Zhao Di that just because he has such a sensible girlfriend, I won’t let him wear small shoes. But if he dares to treat you badly in the future, I will definitely wear small shoes for him. When the time comes, let him move the car on the road!”

Xiaodie also looked very excited and laughed: “Okay, let’s make an agreement about it, Mr. Shi. Let me see Zhao Will you dare to treat me badly in the future?” After

hanging up the phone, Shi Lei went to Oxford Street to buy a formal suit. When he came here this time, he brought two sets of changes of clothes, and there was no formal suit at all.

Although it is not a custom-made formal suit, Shi Lei is young, has no trace of fat on his body, and is a natural dresser.

This formal suit looks pretty good and is enough for a dinner party.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Jenny called again, saying that she, Zhao Di, and Xiaodie had arrived outside the hotel so that Shi Lei could come down.

Shi Lei put on his formal clothes and went downstairs. He saw a business car parked at the door. The window rolled down, revealing Jenny’s rather stunning pretty face.

“Wow, Shi, I just thought you were a funny gentleman. I didn’t expect you to be so handsome.”

Jenny really didn’t hesitate to praise her. Shi Lei didn’t dare to say more about this, he just smiled slightly and stepped on Zhao Di opened the car door.

As soon as they got in the car, Xiaodie handed Shi Lei a small handbag. Shi Lei glanced at it and saw that it contained an antique tea box made of bamboo.

It’s not big, it should be about a pound of tea leaves inside.

“Thank you. I’m really sorry that I need you to help me choose a gift.” The car started slowly and Shi Lei expressed his thanks with a smile on his face.

Xiaodie also smiled and said: “You are too polite, Mr. Shi, and it is not something that requires too much effort.”

Zhao Di also said hurriedly: “Don’t worry, Mr. Shi, I will never bully Xiaodie. In fact, she and I She is the only one who bullies me. When will I dare to bully her?”

Shi Lei laughed loudly and said, “That’s the best. If you don’t dare to bully her, then you won’t have to wear small shoes for me. Opportunity.”

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and soon the car drove out of the city, and not long after, they arrived at a castle-like location.

Such a residence is obviously not something that a London mayor can afford with his salary. However, the Scola family is a hereditary and irreplaceable duke. It is impossible to have a fiefdom in modern society. But for a mere old castle, the British still have it. Not so reluctant to part with it.

The car circled around the yard before stopping in front of the main entrance of the castle.

Shi Lei was somewhat surprised to find that in front of the castle, in addition to the expected British white-bearded butler, there was actually a Chinese.
