The Black Card - Chapter 912
[Chapter 910 Who is younger and more promising?]
When six o’clock came, Shi Lei finally saw the target of the task Heika gave him this time.
Mr Scola, Mayor of London.
Scola is his last name, and his first name is Crawford. He is in his early fifties, which is when it is possible to go further.
Although he is in his early fifties, Crawford has maintained a very good figure. He does not have the belly that Westerners are accustomed to at this age. He looks very flat in formal clothes.
The shoulders are very broad, and Bao Buqi was also an athlete when he was young.
It can be seen that he and Jenny are quite similar, and Jenny has inherited more of the appearance characteristics of the Scola family.
When Crawford came back, it was the butler who accompanied him through the door.
After entering, Crawford took off his windbreaker outside his formal attire and greeted everyone with a smile. When he saw Shi Lei and Zhao Di, whom he didn’t know, he was still very polite.
When Crawford shook hands with Shi Lei, his eyes hidden behind the glasses on his face were observing Shi Lei, and Shi Lei was also observing the target of his mission.
Although his attitude was always polite and the glasses on his face hid his gaze very well, Shi Lei saw through his glasses the sharp eyes of Crawford hidden behind the glasses.
But when he was chatting with others, his eyes seemed much softer.
Shi Lei understood that this was probably because Crawford had learned of his existence in advance, probably because of Jenny. Crawford must have secretly investigated Shi Lei. Of course, his investigation of Shi Lei could only remain on the surface.
It is not difficult to investigate Shi Lei. You can get a lot of information by searching the Internet using this name.
At least, regarding Qixuan and the flash mob, these are all information at your fingertips.
“Mr. Shi is young and promising,” Crawford said after letting go.
Shi Lei smiled and said: “It’s just good luck. Mr. Scola is the real young and promising man. He joined the management of Ocean Company at the age of twenty-five and was promoted to the general manager of Ocean Company’s Indian branch at the age of thirty. , but because he didn’t want to leave his hometown, he turned to politics and became the mayor of London in his forties. The position of leader of the Labor Party next year must be yours. The next step will be to see what the Labor Party will do in the next parliamentary election. , can we win the majority of the seats?”
Crawford was slightly stunned, but didn’t say anything more. He smiled and said, “I’ll go up and change my clothes first, and I’ll entertain you all later.”
Everyone watched Crawford go up After leaving the building, Li Qianhaocheng walked up to Shi Lei, still looking at him with his chin, and said, “Are you young and incompetent?”
Shi Lei smiled and said, “You can get into London without any effort at the age of sixteen. Comparing the money of the School of Political Science and Economics, of course you are younger and more promising.” I thought
that a flamboyant guy like Li Qianhaocheng would be complacent about this compliment and even brag a little about himself, but I didn’t expect that Li Qianhaocheng Haocheng waved his hand and said: “Examinations are a trivial matter. We Chinese are the nation that is best at taking exams. If the UK dares to let all universities allow Chinese people to take the exam and select points for admission, they probably won’t be able to find it in any British university.” Here are some British people. I’m not asking about your studies, but what industry are you in?”
Shi Lei frowned and said, “Internet.”
Li Qianhaocheng was very dissatisfied with this answer. He was about to say something more, but Jenny But he hurried over and actually took the initiative to hold Shi Lei’s arm and said, “Shi, my grandfather is coming over. Can you accompany me to greet him?”
Shi Lei just got rid of Li Qianhaocheng, although he was a little unaccustomed to Jenny. He held his arm so affectionately, but still nodded and said: “Being respectful is better than
obeying orders.” Li Qianhaocheng was very dissatisfied and suddenly burst out: “How can an outsider go to welcome the Duke’s grandfather? I should be accompanying you Jenny. That’s right.”
Jenny didn’t look at him and just said: “Anyway, no matter who goes to greet grandfather, you will follow. Just like in previous years, you just keep following.” After that, she held Shi Lei’s arm tightly. Said: “Shi, let’s go.”
“I’ll welcome Grandpa Duke. What do you mean by holding his arm? Jenny, Jenny…”
Seeing that Shi Lei and Jenny were already walking towards the stairs behind, Li Qianhaocheng said loudly Urgent, he shouted from behind, but Jenny and Shi Lei ignored them, and he hurriedly followed.
“Hey, Shi… Shi Lei, right? What do you mean? Are you trying to steal your girlfriend from me?” Li Qianhaocheng asked Shi Lei anxiously after catching up with Shi Lei and Jenny.
Shi Lei turned around and just smiled at him without saying a word.
But Jenny said coquettishly: “Shi is my good friend, don’t talk nonsense about money. Besides, you and I are just friends, don’t always be so sentimental. Even if I like Shi, it has nothing to do with you.”
Li Qian Haocheng became even more irritable because of these words, but the three of them had already walked up the stairs and turned the corner. They saw the current head of the Scola family in front of them. Duke Scola was walking over with the support of a maid. .
In any case, facing the eighty-year-old Duke, Li Qianhaocheng did not dare to be too presumptuous. He just glared at Shi Lei fiercely, meaning that he would settle the score with you later.
Then, he stretched out his arms and trotted all the way, rushing towards Duke Scola in an extremely grand manner, shouting loudly: “Grandpa Duke, I really miss you!”
Duke Scola was hugged by Li Qianhaocheng. Looking at him, it can be seen that he is also a little embarrassed. He is so old and has the status of a Duke. Even if the Duke is just a title in today’s society, how can he adapt to such an exaggerated Li Qianhaocheng? Behavior?
After finally waiting for Li Qianhaocheng to let go of him, Duke Scola said with a wry smile: “Qian, why do you never grow up? I am an old man and I can’t help you hug me like this.” “
Grandpa Duke, you are so What are you talking about? You are in very good health. I think you can play a round of polo without any problem.” “
Haha, you little guy, I can’t even get on a horse now. Polo is for you young people. Activities. Okay, I know the young man Jenny brought back.”
Li Qianhaocheng was very dissatisfied, but he could only get out of the way. Jenny immediately dragged Shi Lei forward and said with a smile on his face: “Grandpa, Merry Christmas.”
Duke Scola nodded, with a smile on his face. It was full of smile lines. It seemed that he doted on his granddaughter extremely.
Shi Lei also said quickly: “Dear Duke, I wish you a Merry Christmas.” “
You are the Shi that Jenny mentioned. Well, yes, you are indeed handsome. No wonder Jenny is attracted to you.”
“Grandpa, what are you talking about? How could I…” Even though Jenny confessed her feelings to Shi Lei outright yesterday and today, she was still very shy in front of her grandfather.
Shi Lei didn’t expect that Duke Scola’s first words when he saw him would be this. He couldn’t help but feel that this old man was a bit disrespectful and made fun of his granddaughter.
But no matter what, he felt embarrassed.
But Duke Scola laughed loudly and said: “You still say no? Look at you, your hand has been holding Shi’s arm, and you are still reluctant to let go when you see grandpa.”
Jenny quickly let go, but then realized that this was There was no 300 taels of silver here, so I bought it back again.
“I like Shi, and I confessed my love to him, but he rejected me. Shi is a true gentleman. Grandpa, you are not allowed to say these things anymore.”
