The reception held by the embassy did not have many participants, probably around a hundred or so people.
Ye Kaikai looked around and saw that the participants were generally older, all in their forties and above. Young people were very rare. Occasionally, you might see young people coming in with their parents, and their faces seemed to show a trace of
Feeling of reluctance.
"There are very few young people..." Ye Kai said to Nangong Yun next to him.
He was not slow in his movements. He first went to the long table over there, took out two plates, handed one to Nangong Yun, and then started picking food from his own plate.
Since it is a buffet, the food variety is relatively rich, including some Western dishes, hot Chinese dishes, and even steaming braised pork.
Ye Kai is not very picky about what he eats. Looking at the problem from his point of view, most of the food nowadays is of acceptable quality. The trend of "only pesticides are non-toxic" that emerged in later generations is still rare now, and
When you go overseas, you no longer have to worry about this.
"Young people have a place for young people to play. Such a reception will not interest them." Nangong Yun replied. She was a little surprised when she saw Ye Kai picking up food with great interest.
Logically speaking, Ye Kai is the kind of kid from an aristocratic family who has everything he needs, both in terms of status and finance, but he didn't expect that he would be so interested in a cocktail party of this level, and he would also be so interested in food.
Not picky at all, which really surprised Nangongyun.
On the other hand, these young people who came with their fathers to watch the cocktail party almost looked at the food on the table with a bit of disdain. They would only bring a red wine glass and occasionally raise it to express their gratitude to others.
That's all, I didn't appreciate the sumptuous dishes carefully prepared by the organizer at all.
After hearing Nangong Yun's explanation, Ye Kai could understand it.
For young people here in Paris, the nightlife is richer and there are many places to go.
But they also need to pay attention to another issue, which is the safety issue of night activities. Although this city looks like a palace of art, sinful behaviors hidden in the dark night are happening all the time.
Neither of them was interested in chatting with anyone, so after selecting the food, they found a corner, sat down, and ate slowly.
"Huh?" Nangong Yun suddenly let out a startled sound while eating.
After hearing this, Ye Kai raised his head and followed Nangong Yun's gaze, and saw a young man over there who looked about thirty years old. He was tall and big, and he was joking with a few middle-aged people.
What are you wearing?
"Know?" Ye Kai asked.
"My cousin's son Nangong Li, I don't know why he came here?" There was obviously a trace of doubt in Nangong Yun's tone.
"Why, this Nangong Li doesn't deal with you very well?" Ye Kai was eating meat, his mouth was slowly filling, and he asked vaguely after hearing this.
"That's what it is anyway. There is only one position for the head of the family. Everyone wants to compete for it." Nangong Yun's mood has calmed down at this time, "It's just that this Nangong Li has always been over there in Germany. No.
Do you know how he came to Paris and got together with the people from the embassy?"
"Is there any core industry of your Nangong family here in Paris?" Ye Kai asked.
"There are just a few large wineries and a few luxury goods bases." Nangong Yun shook her head and said, "My grandfather has always lived in Frankfurt. The industry here in Paris is usually only handled by people from the company.
Management. But I don’t know why Nangong Li came here?"
At this point, Nangong Yun couldn't help but said with some confusion, "Is it related to the fact that grandpa received an open invitation from the country?"
Nangong Yun's guess does make some sense. Ever since Mr. Chu publicly invited Nangong Jinghong to return to his country, people from all walks of life have taken action. Some support and some oppose. Naturally, there are different voices within the Nangong family.
, but Nangong Jinghong himself did not publicly express any attitude.
Although everyone thinks that Nangong Yun's trip to the mainland is actually following Nangong Jinghong's order to prepare for the return of the Nangong family, but after all, Nangong Jinghong has not stated in any public forum that he really has this idea.
Perhaps it is precisely because of Nangong Jinghong's ambiguous attitude that the children of the Nangong family have various ideas.
"Your grandfather's thoughts are not so easy to guess..." Ye Kai thought about it for a while and then said to Nangong Yun, "Actually, at his age, what things cannot be seen through? Or, what happened this time
, it’s just one of his games.”
"What game?" Nangong Yun suddenly became interested after hearing this.
She knew very well that Ye Kai had a good brain, so she attached great importance to Ye Kai's analysis.
"In any family, there will be no outstanding figures in peacetime. Only at critical moments will some outstanding talents emerge." Ye Kai explained, "So I have reason to suspect that your grandfather
I'm just taking advantage of this incident to create some conflicts within the family, and then see if there is any potential for improvement, which can be regarded as making a small contribution to the development of the family."
"Although what you said makes sense, I don't think it's very reasonable to risk the family division to do this." Nangong Yun shook her head to express her disapproval of Ye Kai's view.
Ye Kai smiled, not necessarily convincing Nangong Yun to agree with his guess.
After he learned that the current head of the Nangong family was Nangong Yun's father, Nangong Shouzhuo, and Nangong Shouzhuo's prestige was definitely not as good as that of Nangong Jinghong, so there were many people in the entire family who were not very fond of Nangong Shouzhuo.
Convinced, there are even some people who want to challenge the authority of his family leader.
Under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before the family split, so from Nangong Jinghong's point of view, it would not be a bad thing if the conflicts could be intensified and these problems resolved earlier.
At least at this moment, this old man like him can still control the situation.
Once he goes west, if the family is divided again, it will truly become a mess.
"I really don't know why he suddenly came to Paris?" Nangong Yun looked at Nangong Li in the distance, her eyes full of vigilance, "I don't know if he just appeared here by chance, or if he has some other intention?"
"It's very simple. You can just ask him face to face." Ye Kai replied casually.
"Ah?" Nangong Yun was stunned after hearing this.
"What I mean is, if you suddenly appeared in front of him, would it scare him?" Ye Kai said, "Then I took the opportunity to ask him about the purpose of coming. I think if he has something wrong in his heart,
Most likely it will show itself later."
"Nangong Li is not someone who is easily fooled. He can be considered a promising person in our family." Nangong Yun shook her head after hearing this, "Even if I can scare him, he will soon be able to
After thinking about it, we can't catch any of his loopholes."
"How can you know without giving it a try?" Ye Kai said with a smile.
After hearing this, Nangong Yun felt a little moved. After all, what Ye Kai said made sense. There would be no harm in giving it a try.
But she immediately thought of another question. She had hidden her whereabouts when she returned to Paris this time. If Nangong Li knew about it, would the news be kept secret? Will this be a factor in welcoming Nangong Jinghong's return?
What adverse effects will it cause?
You know, Nangong Li and the others are staunch supporters of the European strategy. They are unwilling to return to the country and just want to take root in Europe and continue to live their good life of debauchery.
So Nangong Yun told what she was worried about.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. What we want to target is not people like Nangong Li, but other big forces." Ye Kai replied with a smile.
Ye Kai hid his whereabouts in order to interfere with his sight. What he wanted to guard against were mainly people from Taiwan, Europe and the United States, and even some people from China. For people like Nangong Li, it was really difficult for him to hide his whereabouts.
It's not necessary. After all, when you go to see Nangong Jinghong, you can't avoid contact with people like them. It doesn't matter if you go earlier or later.
"Since you said that, I might as well give it a try," Nangong Yun said.
At this time, Nangong Li was talking to a counselor from the embassy. It could be seen that these two people seemed to be familiar with each other. It was definitely not the first time they had met. Next to him, there were two people of about the same age. It seemed that they were familiar with each other.
They should be Chinese people in the business community, because they all speak Chinese.
Nangong Yun took a sip of red wine, wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, then took Ye Kai's arm and slowly walked in the direction of Nangong Li until she was behind him.
Then, Nangong Yun tapped her finger on the back of Nangong Li's head.
"Ah?!" Nangong Li was suddenly shocked by this blow. He quickly turned around, revealing some of his skills.
It can be seen that these children of the Nangong family have some skills in their bodies. After all, they are from family backgrounds.
Then, Nangong Li saw an even more shocking scene. His cousin Nangong Yun, who was still in China, was hugging a man and standing behind him.
"This is... this is... what's going on..." Nangong Li, who had been eloquent just now, was stammering. It was obvious that he was really frightened by Nangong Yun.
He never thought that Nangong Yun could actually appear here at this moment.
