Chapter 93: One thing leads to another~ People become more sophisticated as they age! (5k)

Gaul, Paris!
Charles de Gaulle Airport!
As the largest airport in Gaul and the second largest in Europe, the passenger flow is huge and the airport is packed with people everywhere!

"Oh my god! Look! A convoy is entering the airport!"

"Is this true? I haven't heard of any big shot visiting Paris!"

"They are all Rolls-Royces. They shouldn't be official. If they were official, the vehicles would be low-key and safe!"

For a moment, many people were lying on the glass curtain wall of the satellite hall corridor, taking out their mobile phones and taking pictures of the convoy. Who knows, they might get some big news today, and maybe even make some extra money!
At the business jet apron, the large private plane that Su Chen was riding on slowly stopped at the designated parking space at the airport.

"Mr. Wang, something bad has happened!" As soon as the plane landed, a middle-aged man in a pilot's uniform ran over with a panicked look on his face.

Su Chen and others, who were just about to get up, also stopped.

Seeing this, Sicong's brows instantly frowned. If he didn't know that this airport had served the Wang family for many years, he would have cursed.

"What's the matter? You're so panicked!"

The captain swallowed and said, "I parked at the private stand according to the information given by the airport control tower. As soon as I parked, I found a convoy of more than ten Rolls-Royces parked in front of us. The passengers were all wearing black suits. I don't know if there was a mistake by the control tower and we were parked at the stand of some important person."

"Have you contacted the tower to ask what's going on?" Sicong also discovered that something was wrong. He didn't have such a big face to have someone send such treatment to pick him up in Paris.

"Uh~After the plane parked, it cut off contact with the tower!" The captain said cautiously. If they wanted to re-establish contact with the tower, they would have to apply again, and the process alone would take half an hour.

Hearing this, Sicong's brows furrowed even more and he paced back and forth several times.

"Okay, stop walking around. Let's go down and take a look and we'll know. Maybe they are here to pick us up!" Su Chen said uncertainly.

Before leaving, Su Chen specifically told Chen Mengyan that he had come to Gaul.

But the scene of this airport pick-up seemed a bit too grand, and he himself was not sure whether they were there to pick him up.

When Si Cong heard this, he suddenly stopped and looked at Su Chen unhappily, "Well, old Su, you are laughing at me, right? You didn't even say anything about this!"

Su Chen shrugged and said, "I'm just guessing, I don't know if it's true or not. Besides, how could the airport control tower make such a mistake? Let's go down and take a look!"

After that, he signaled the captain to open the cabin door.
Upon seeing this, the captain turned his gaze to Sicong, and only after getting Sicong's affirmation did he ask the flight attendant to open the cabin door.

Of course Su Chen was walking in front. If Chen Mengyan really came to pick them up, she would definitely appear.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Chen stepped out of the plane, he saw two beauties getting out of a leading Rolls-Royce car, one of whom was Chen Mengyan.

Seeing Su Chen getting off the plane, Chen Mengyan quickly walked up to him, bowed respectfully and called out, "Sir~"

"Hmm~" Su Chen nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Chen Mengyan.

Although she had only been in Paris for two months, Su Chen felt that she had undergone a drastic change. She was no longer timid as before, and her eyes revealed confidence.

After looking at Chen Mengyan, he turned his gaze to the woman not far behind her, "Mengyan, who is that?"

Hearing Su Chen's question, Chen Mengyan immediately gave the woman a look.
When the woman came to her side, Chen Mengyan introduced: "Sir, this is Shulaya, the first assistant to President Arnault. President Arnault originally planned to pick you up in person, but he is currently attending a meeting abroad and will not be back until tomorrow!"

"Mr. Su, welcome to Paris!" Shulaya said with a somewhat attentive look.

"Hmm~"

At this time, Sicong and others got off the plane one after another. Seeing Su Chen talking to two beauties, Sicong consciously did not go up to them, but stood aside quietly.

If domestic netizens saw this scene, they would be so shocked that their jaws would drop. It would definitely be explosive news that the "national husband" was "standing in the corner" at a foreign airport.

"Let's go~ The wind at Charles de Gaulle Airport is quite strong"

Hearing this, Shuraya immediately called the bodyguard behind him to drive the car over.

Sicong had originally been thinking of riding in the same car with Su Chen, but when he saw two beauties getting in, he wisely got into another car.

The convoy of more than a dozen Rolls-Royces was so eye-catching that people were taking pictures with their mobile phones all the way out of the airport. What's even more impressive is that even the official media cars of Paris were out in force.

When Su Chen saw the official media car appear, his brows frowned slightly. He didn't want to become famous throughout Paris or even Gaul tomorrow.

Chen Mengyan, who was sitting next to him, also noticed Su Chen's abnormality, and quickly told Shulaya, who was sitting in the passenger seat, about the situation. Shulaya immediately took out his cell phone and made a call, but hung up after saying just two words.

Less than a minute later, Su Chen discovered that the media car next to him had disappeared, which made him sigh, "The power of capital is really everywhere!"

The convoy passed through the bustling streets of Paris. Gradually, there were fewer tall buildings and more trees, as if they were driving into the suburbs.

"Mr. Su, we are about to go to a luxurious manor only 20 kilometers away from the city of Paris. This is a gift specially prepared for you by President Arnault!"

Before Su Chen could ask, Shulaya, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke.

"A gift for me?" Su Chen never expected that the president of the Luwei Group would be so considerate and give him a luxurious manor as soon as he landed in Paris.

I just don’t know how luxurious this manor is.

After driving for about half an hour, the convoy slowly drove into a luxurious manor.

The entire manor is very magnificent. The main building is a typical European-style building. The blue roof and white walls give people a fresh feeling.

Su Chen thought that this manor would look particularly shabby due to its age.

But when he walked into the manor, he found that the interior was completely modernly decorated, while retaining the previous European style.

Su Chen was very satisfied with the overall style, and even Sicong, who was used to big scenes, nodded repeatedly.

"Mr. Su, the main building of the manor covers an area of ​​1500 square meters, the annex building covers an area of ​​750 square meters, and there are nearly 30 acres of gardens and acres of vineyards behind the manor!"

Shulaya on the side gave a brief introduction to the situation of the entire manor, including the fact that President Arnault specially arranged for people to renovate the manor, which was also implicitly expressed.

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully.

The manor is equipped with professional housekeepers and nannies. After Su Chen and the others were settled, Shulaya also said goodbye.

Before leaving, she handed a contract to Su Chen, which was the transfer agreement of this manor.

"Go out for a walk?" After putting his things away, Sicong couldn't wait to visit the manor.

Su Chen nodded when he heard this. He was also very curious about what this manor was like and how big the thirty-acre garden was!
How spectacular is a hundred acres of vineyard!
After handing the contract to Jiang Hui, he walked towards the garden under the guidance of the manor housekeeper.

As soon as you walk out of the main building, the scenery of the garden comes into everyone's eyes.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”

When Sicong’s girlfriend Coco saw the various shapes of flowers and trees in the garden, she couldn’t help but take out her mobile phone to take pictures.

Seeing this, Si Cong frowned slightly...

The layout of the entire garden is very Versailles style. It feels like you can’t walk out once you enter the garden. It looks like a maze!
The most central area of ​​the garden is a lake of nearly ten acres, with a dozen black swans playing on the lake.

After a quick stroll, everyone turned around and went back to their rooms.

It took almost ten hours to fly from the imperial capital to Paris, and Su Chen and others were a little tired. After visiting the garden, the novelty faded away, and they were left with physical and mental exhaustion!
"Sir~"

Su Chen had just returned to his room to take a shower when Chen Mengyan came in wearing a maid outfit.

She wore a black and white mini-skirt maid outfit, with the hem just reaching one-third of her thigh. She wore a black bow on her head, and paired it with a gradient Balenciaga collection, which made people feel a little excited.

"Sir, let me help you!" Chen Mengyan walked to Su Chen with a blushing face.

Su Chen gently lifted her chin, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Let me see what kind of extraordinary ability you have!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Chen Mengyan followed him with spring in her eyes.

There is a saying: "The boat pushes away the waves, and the boat stirs up wave after wave." The splash in the bathroom lasted for two full hours before gradually subsiding.
-
Manor ~ back garden!

Su Chen was leisurely drinking coffee with a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Su, I didn't expect you to be so young!" The middle-aged man had not yet recovered from his surprise.

When he saw Su Chen for the first time, he could hardly believe his eyes. Such a young man held 10% of the shares of the entire Luwei Group!
"Hahaha~ Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Arnault!"

The person drinking coffee with Su Chen was LVMH President Arnault. As soon as he returned to Paris, he came directly to Su Chen.

He could not help but be anxious. Although the LVMH Group seemed to dominate the luxury goods industry, there was still a lot of competition within the group!

In addition, it is almost the end of the year and the group is about to hold its annual shareholders' meeting... to discuss the direction of the group's development in the coming year and some personnel adjustments.

You have to know that the entire Luwei Group is not a monolithic entity. Apart from the 45% stake held by the Arnold family, the rest of the shares are in the hands of major investment companies.

The voting rights held by Su Chen are extremely important. He can be said to be the largest shareholder besides the Arnault family!

Otherwise, Arnault would not have given this manor worth more than 3 million euros to Su Chen.

In addition, the Arno family is not united and is divided into factions. However, as the patriarch of the Arno family, he can still control it.

And Su Chen is exactly the variable. If we can't establish a good relationship with Su Chen, no one knows what trouble will arise.

It is said that old people become more cunning, and Arno is no exception. Su Chen could tell when they first met... this old man was a very cunning and shrewd person.

He looks honest, but no one knows what he is thinking.

Remember there is no free lunch in the world!

If someone shows kindness to you without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. There is some truth in what our ancestors said.

Which kind person would give such a big gift before even meeting each other? Even Su Chen’s gifts are not so extravagant.

The only explanation is that Arnault must have asked him for help with something!

"Mr. Su, are you here to have fun in Paris this time?"

"Of course I'm here to have fun. The League of Legends World Cup finals are being held in Paris, and one of my e-sports clubs just happened to make it to the finals. And you, Mr. Arnault, also invited me to come to Paris to play..."

"That's right... I can have both career and fun, it's just the best of both worlds!" Su Chen looked calm and unhurried, and after he finished speaking, he took a sip of his coffee!

"Hahaha~ I didn't expect Mr. Su to be so leisurely and elegant, and he seems to be quite fond of games!" How could someone of Arno's status know anything about LOL? He could only continue chatting along with Su Chen's words.

The two chatted for a while, and Arno felt that the time was right, so he organized his words in his mind.

"Mr. Su, I wonder what you think of the Luwei Group!"

Su Chen's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he shouted in his heart: "Finally, we are getting to the point!"

Changing his previous laziness, he sat up straighter, "Opinion? What do I think?"

"Under the leadership of the Arnault family, LVMH has become the number one luxury goods company. As an outsider, I have no interest in making comments. I can just wait for the dividends."

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Arno's eyes, but his face remained calm.

"Why don't you consider arranging a senior executive to join the group? The Chen Mengyan you sent here before is very capable and learns very quickly. In just two months, she has become familiar with the entire company's business!"

Su Chen knew that Arnault was testing whether he had any intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the group.

He shook his head slightly, put down the coffee in his hand, looked at the distant sky, and after a long while he slowly said: "I just want to be leisurely, and I don't want to participate in any struggle."

Su Chen suddenly felt a little tired. Chatting with these cunning people was really a waste of time, so he just played it straight.

Arno didn't expect Su Chen to be so direct. Although he was a little embarrassed, he was thick-skinned and didn't show any strange expression.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Su! You also know that maintaining internal harmony is the most fundamental thing for a group!"

Su Chen quite agreed with this statement. If the internal situation is not stable, how can he compete with competitors for the market?

With Su Chen's assurance, a faint smile appeared on Arno's face.

"By the way, Mr. Su, I have a gift for you. I hope you like it!" After saying that, Arno waved to Shuraya who was not far away!
Then Shuraya walked to the parking lot with a man who looked like a bodyguard and took out a box from the car!
Soon a golden nanmu box was placed on the table.

Arno made a gesture of invitation with his left hand and looked at Su Chen with a smile.

Su Chen looked at the box in front of him with some confusion, wondering what Arno was up to.
It seems that the only way to know what is going on is to open the box.

Then he reached out and opened the lid of the golden nanmu, only to see a bronze animal head inside.

When he saw the face of the beast head clearly, Su Chen was also frightened.

The main reason was that Su Chen was afraid of snakes. When he saw the lifelike animal head, he couldn't help but tremble.

"Is this a snake head? How is it possible? Didn't it disappear?"

With the rapid development of the country in recent years, many wealthy people in the country have also purchased a lot of cultural relics from overseas. The most representative of these are the twelve zodiac animals. Currently, seven animal heads have been returned one after another.

The whereabouts of another four are unknown. As for the other dragon beast, it is said to be in the Wanwan Museum, but whether it is true or not remains to be verified.

Among them, the snake beast is one of the four whose whereabouts are unknown. Many people in the country have tried their best but have not found relevant information. Now a snake head appears in front of Su Chen. It would be a lie to say that he is not excited.

"Is this true or false?" Su Chen tried hard to calm his excitement. He still had some doubts about this thing.

Hearing Su Chen's doubt, Arno's expression instantly became serious, "Of course this is true, our Arno family is at the forefront in the whole of Europe, how could we come up with a fake to fool Mr. Su!"

Su Chen did not continue asking. He already knew why the animal head was in Arno's hands. After all, the Arno family had been passed down for more than two hundred years and had been glorious in the world for more than a hundred years.

"I am very satisfied with this gift, thank you Mr. Arno!" No matter what, Su Chen was still very grateful to him for giving him the snake beast.

Looking at Su Chen's serious expression, Arno nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, I also know some information about another animal head. I wonder if Mr. Su is interested!" Arno crossed his fingers, put his elbows on both sides of the chair, leaned back in the chair, with a faint smile on his face.

Su Chen cursed Arno in his heart when he heard this, "He is indeed an old turtle, wait for him here."

As long as he asked, or got the other animal head back from Arno, he would have owed him a favor, and he didn't have to worry about him having any other ideas.

In the eyes of these families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, human feelings are like family honor and cannot be desecrated.

When you are out there, reputation is still very important. Who would want to be friends with someone who repays kindness with enmity?
Su Chen pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "Oh~ I'd like to hear the details!"

Arno raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and without further ado, he told the information he knew.

It turns out that Arnault was busy going out to meet a British duke. Apart from the royal family, their family is the most powerful in the UK. They own a fake luxury brand, and Arnault went there this time to discuss the acquisition.

In the duke's manor, he saw an animal head exhibited in a glass cabinet - a chicken head!

Su Chen's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic "dong dong" sound, while Arnault drank his coffee calmly.

After a long while, Su Chen stopped his fingers, looked at Arno and said, "Mr. Arno, you should know the significance of the animal heads to us. I hope you can help with this matter!"

"Hahaha~ Mr. Su's affairs are my affairs. I will take care of this matter. The animal head will appear in front of you in a week at most!" Arno is in a particularly good mood now. He has also reached an alliance with Su Chen!
"Cheers!" Su Chen said, holding up his coffee.

"cheers!"

At this moment, the two of them became true friends!

　I have a cold and my head is dizzy.
