Jelia took Li Guolou's arm and walked into the Van Gaal Law Firm together. There were ten people in the law firm on the fifth floor, standing according to their status to welcome the big customers. A business of 150,000 francs, for
For a law firm, it was pie in the sky. The three French lawyers with law licenses wore silver-white wigs on their heads and had serious expressions on their faces, and they did not look happy at all.
The Wood family was splitting up, and Lawyer Van Gaal, as the Wood family's lawyer, was devastated that the negotiation was ineffective and could only divide the family property. The commission was handled in accordance with the legal regulations, and a 2% handling fee was collected from both sides.
Jelia introduced generously: "Lawyer Van Gaal, this is my fiancé Mike; Li. This is lawyer Van Gaal."
Van Gaal; Li is in his forties, has black hair and small eyes, is about the same height as Li Guolou, has a mustache, wears a pair of round glasses on his face, has a fat and bulky body, has a big belly but is wearing a tight suit
Wearing a tuxedo, Van Gaal shook hands with Li Guolou meticulously, then gave him a kiss and greeted him. Finally, he gave a big hug and said: "Bless you, Mike, you have brought honor to the Li family."
Van Gaal couldn't help laughing anymore. His surname was also Li, and he was a member of the same family eight hundred years ago. The laughter was so touching that the other two lawyers also laughed with him. The other seven subordinates bowed to Li Guolou and Yelia.
The salute was like a military salute, uniform and uniform, "Welcome!" rang out, making Li Guolou think he was in a Western clothing store.
Jelia observed Little White with a telescope at the Mox Cafe; she just entered the Van Gaal Law Firm after Wood walked in. Jelia and Li Guolou walked into the conference room accompanied by three lawyers.
Little White and Wood are in their thirties. They have a kind face and an aristocratic baboon beard. They are one meter nine tall, have a slender body and gray hair. They shake hands with Jelia and Li Guo with a smile.
Give me a big hug.
Little White Wood bought Jelia's shares for almost half of the share price of "White Shipping Company", which made him feel like the winner. Jelia wanted to fight with him, but the result was that he could only sneak away with his tail between his legs and raise a child.
The Manchu dog with the dog's tail came to the French Concession to embarrass himself. Little White never looked at Li Guolou seriously from beginning to end. How could he not know Li Guolou's identity? Li Guolou was a state official and had no future in his life.
Pretty boy.
Yelia handed the signed contract and cashier's check to Li Guolou and asked Li Guolou to hide it in his bag, looking like a big sister. He turned around and said: "Mr. White, today is a day worth celebrating.
, I wonder if you will still do your experiment and refine high-purity castor."
Little White Wood's face suddenly turned pale. He turned to look at Jelia's angry expression and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "Jelia, don't listen to the gossip. I will go back to France next year to pay homage to my brother. I wonder if you can go?
"
Who told Yelia about this? Most likely it was the Qing Dynasty police officer next to Yelia. Little White looked at Li Guolou seriously for the first time. This pretty boy was probably hired by Yelia as a beauty trap.
The killer, thinking of this, Little White's originally calm heart began to beat wildly. He was going to have insomnia again tonight, and a new target appeared to make it difficult for him to sleep or eat well. He had to get rid of the serious worries before he could stop.
Jelia Wood got the banker's promissory note and stopped pretending. He burst out with anger in his heart and shouted angrily: "I don't want to see you in this life. It would be better for God to let you sink in the Indian Ocean. I'll take your clothes tomb."
I will go and give you two bouquets of castor flowers."
After venting her anger, Jelia raised her high heels and left the conference hall without even saying goodbye to lawyer Van Gaal. Her eyes were filled with tears. She only loved Big White and Wood.
Li Guolou picked up his leather bag, then picked up the coat and hat on the shelf, and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'll come back another day to apologize."
Li Guolou was extremely embarrassed, but he felt warm in his heart. The cashier's check of 150,000 francs was with him, which was Yelia's greatest trust in him. However, he could not withdraw the money and regarded it as a hundred thousand francs.
Ten thousand pounds in banknotes. Li Guolou caught up with Yelia in the corridor, put on Yelia's forgotten coat, hugged her tightly, and confessed: "Yelia, don't cry, I'm
All my life I just hope to be in my graveyard and watch you cry to me, a dead person."
"Screw you, are you proposing?" Yelia beat Li Guolou's chest, feeling a little tempted. Even marriage in a foreign country is just a game.
"Then do you agree?" Li Guolou made a sad expression.
"I won't agree!" Yelia said without hesitation. How could she propose when someone misses her ex-husband? Yelia bit Li Guolou's lips angrily.
There was the sound of someone walking up the stairs. Li Guolou and Yelia hurriedly separated. They pretended to be nobles and walked down the stairs step by step, arm in arm. Nobles sometimes do not take escalators. Escalators that rely on mechanical pulling of cables are too slow. It is better to walk more.
The walk is economical.
It was getting dark outside. Li Guolou took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and said: "The lawyer is really verbose. They wasted three hours on their nonsense. Let's ask your servants to have a big meal together. Anyway, you are a rich woman now."
"
Yelia said softly: "Whatever feast you want, I just want to eat you. There is a Western restaurant next to it. Let's just eat a little and ask them to come out."
The two of them walked to the street. Li Guolou raised his hand in the direction of Mox Cafe to call out the three people who were still sitting in the cafe, and blew a whistle. The sharp whistle sounded, and an English carriage stopped.
arrived in front of them.
Jelia scolded angrily: "Mike, don't whistle casually. Don't we have our own carriage?"
Li Guolou glanced at him and said: "Dear Yelia, it's better to find a better restaurant. The French restaurant here will meet people from Van Gaal Law Firm to celebrate later. They guarantee that they have reserved a seat. You are not
Are you going to spoil their fun?"
Yelia smiled sweetly and said: "You have figured out everything, detective. So do you think White Shipping Company will become more powerful in the future?"
Li Guolou said: "It should be possible, but it has nothing to do with Little White. He will definitely sell all the shares in White Shipping Company and return to France to live a happy life."
Jelia asked: "Why is this? He was very ambitious at the board meeting, and he still had a five-year plan to show those old antiques."
Li Guolou said with a smile: "Yelia, little White is so burdened with killing his brother that he already suffers from insomnia. Today, you exposed it in public, and he has even more trouble sleeping and eating. Didn't you see that there is so much in his hair?"
Is it white hair? He'd better stay as far away from you as possible, otherwise he'll have to go to a mental hospital."
Jelia looked up at the vast night sky and said, "I hope! I'm a little afraid of Little White if he stays in Tianjin."
Li Guolou said implicitly: "Little White doesn't dare to come to the capital. My dear Yelia, just live your dream of being a banker."
Li Guolou has already thought of killing Little White. Of course, he must first leave the French Concession. This is the land of foreigners. He does not want to steal the chicken and lose the rice and be hanged by the French.
Walking over, Mayuko heard Li Guolou's last words. Mayuko had found out the purpose of Yelia's coming here from two of Yelia's servants. She immediately bowed respectfully to Yelia. This is
She will also serve her mistress well.
In the carriage, Mayuko looked at the street outside through the glass window without glancing at Li Guolou. It was the first time she saw the concession in the night. There were oil lamps hanging outside the merchant doors and the lights burning on the street, which made her feel...
She was extremely surprised.
Yelia pushed Mayuko across the Li Guo Tower and said, "Mayuko, have you never been to the French Concession?"
Mayuko shook her head and said: "This is a place for the upper class. We Japanese don't dare to come here. Many businesses don't welcome us Japanese."
Li Guolou said: "This is a product of your Japanese people that you imitate from the Westerners without paying them copyright fees. Westerners hate you Japanese the most. Once your floral cloth appears, it will be difficult to sell the foreign cloth.
This is called teaching the disciples and starving the master to death. The Westerners have finally understood the power of your little Japan."
Mayuko didn't know how to laugh, so she had a weird smile on her face and said: "This is called orientalism. We Japanese now want to follow the footsteps of the Qing Empire. It's better for you, the old Buddha of the Qing Empire, to be smart about the rental industry."
Come, this place is so prosperous. Our emperor is not good enough, he wants to save face."
Is this a compliment or a insult? Li Guolou stretched out his hand and turned Mayuko's head, paying attention to the expression on Mayuko's face, trying to see through her mind what the hell was going on?
Suddenly, Zhenyuzi pounced on Li Guolou like a she-wolf, and kissed Li Guolou passionately. She misunderstood, thinking that Li Guolou was teasing her, but she had long been unable to bear the maternal love and dared not
Look at Li Guolou more, and then keep looking out the window, pretending to be interested in the dark night outside. What kind of Western food can Guilaozi eat? After two balls of rice, you can go to bed. Mayuko sat in Li Guolou's arms, forgetting everything.
With her unique skills.
Yelia sighed: "Mike, Mayuko is not pretending to you, she really likes you, you are such a cutie." After saying that, Yelia also joined in to have fun.
Li Guolou finally said: "It's easy to go back to the apartment directly. Now that Edward's carriage is out of sight, we have to eat slow French and Western food."
Jelia said angrily: "The Louis XIV restaurant is doing very well, but we still have to queue up?"
"Ah!" Li Guolou and Mayuko expressed strong dissatisfaction.
The Louis XIV restaurant was doing very well, so Jelia tipped her to join the queue. Others thought they had reserved a seat, so they still queued up in a gentlemanly manner.
Jelia was very kind to her servants. She rarely went out to eat and could accept sitting together. She and the two servants already had a family relationship. She even paid for the servants' children to board and study in the church school. This was something she and the two servants paid for.
Li Guolou is very similar and treats his servants much better than the little Japanese.
Mayuko still didn't dare to put on airs with the two French servants, as they were of a superior race. Sitting down to eat Western food together, Mayuko was afraid of losing face and didn't know how to handle the knife and fork.
The Japanese eat a little bit of vegetables, and they are a frugal nation. The Han people also need to have dishes to go with their drinks, while the Japanese drink directly with sake, and at most a few plates of food the size of tofu cubes.
Li Guolou looked at Mayuko's appearance and said: "Mayuko eat whatever you want, use a knife and fork more slowly like me. If you don't think it tastes good, don't eat it. It's not a sin to waste a little."
"Hi!" Mayuko was grateful and pushed a plate of food to Li Guolou. She didn't like Gui Lao Zi's French and Western food. Just eating foreign bread was more delicious than steak.
Li Guolou said helplessly: "Yelia, please order seafood for Mayuko. Japanese people like to eat food from the sea. Beef is rarely eaten. I am not used to it anymore."
The seafood clam soup was served again, and Mayuko praised that the French and Western food tasted very good. She also liked the grilled squid. It was worth a visit to the Louis XIV restaurant.
When the big lobster was served, Mayuko happily said that she had never eaten lobster once since she came to the Qing Dynasty. The lobster here was too expensive, and her family did not dare to waste their money on it.
Jelia raised his voice and said: "Zhen Yuzi, I will follow you later;;;;;;"
Li Guolou kicked him over. What are you talking about? Two servants were standing nearby, kidnapping someone's wife to come out for fun. The servants knew the inside story. What will happen next? This is a secret that only God knows.
You know and I know, how can your servant let them know?
Mayuko has proudly told two French servants that she will share a husband with Jelia in the future. Her ability to serve her master and mistress is no worse than that of a servant. Mayuko likes to show off, and even if she doesn't tell it, she will write down her secrets.
Put it in the bag and hang it on the tree in the Buddhist temple. Tell the Bodhisattva what shameful things she has done and what she still wants to do? Let the Buddha bless her success.
This is the same as a believer in Jesus confessing to a priest, and all sins must be known to God. There is only one person here who hides all the secrets, and this is Li Guolou, who has no faith. He can sell his body, but he has not sold his soul.
