The night is dark against the splendor of the city, the high-rise buildings of the five-star hotel in downtown Calgary,
The magnificent and bright hall, the waiter with a silver tray, the wealth of famous wines on the white cloth table, the prosperous status outside the black window wall,
The rights in the discourse of the well-dressed figures are intertwined to form the top reception venue in the energy field tonight.
And at the center of the venue at this moment, the highest level that everyone looks up to,
"It's a pleasant surprise. I'm glad to see you here tonight. I thought you wouldn't accept the invitation,"
Sitting on the pure white and expensive sofa, hiding a haughty social smile, there is an annoying hypocrisy feeling, Mephisto's eyes are burning:
"Speaking of which, the first time I saw you was also at such a reception,"
"Your Excellency Andre."
In the position opposite him, Andre's face sank when he heard these words,
Shrewd and capable enough to become the top person in charge of the industry under the Future Consortium, Mephisto naturally could not have been unknown in the energy field before.
Decades of professional career, Andre had seen him as early as before he had climbed so high,
But what makes his face serious at this moment is not that the former junior has been on an equal footing with him,
but...
"Speaking of which, I came from Houston not far away. What's the matter with you, Mr. Andre?"
Opening his mouth with a smile, Mephisto’s eyes seemed to be concerned and curious without knowing it:
"As far as I know, the situation of the Essenkoferme branch here should not be worth your special trip."
Ask knowingly!
Hearing what Mephisto said, Andre frowned,
The reason why he left his busy official duties and came to Calgary was because the person in front of him, at this juncture when the signing meeting was about to be held,
The other party invited people from all walks of life in the energy field, including all the members of the "North Atlantic Energy Agreement",
It's obvious what you want to do!
And asking such a question, admiring Andre's expression at the moment, Mephisto had calculations hidden in his eyes, and deliberately tried to speak as if suddenly:
"Could it be... Is it really like I heard that there is a serious problem in the upstream of the industrial chain within the group?"
The moment these words fell, Andre's expression suddenly sank,
At the same time, the ears of the bosses of the energy companies closest to the two who were talking to each other twitched slightly after the conversation stopped.
Dinners, receptions, charity parties... No matter what kind of business gathering, the essence is to bring businessmen together to obtain information and contacts for profit.
On occasions like tonight, a word or an attitude can be magnified by the outside world into information representing the industry situation.
Not to mention that Andre knew how many people were paying attention to his side.
Any information will spread quickly through contacts, and it will be difficult to suppress public opinion once it rises. Therefore, for Mephisto's well-founded malicious speculation,
Andre should have immediately set a calm example of denial,
No matter what the truth is, as long as he supports the scene, he can extinguish all other people's speculation about it,
But he couldn't speak.
Entered the workplace at the age of 20, 47 years old this year, the president appointed by the board of directors, among the tens of thousands of employees in Essencoforme, has experienced countless Vanity Fairs and negotiation tables,
Naturally, Andre couldn't cope with such a small situation.
But staring at the young man next to Mephisto, this indescribable feeling of being speechless made Andre realize...
The other party is a participant!
"Your complexion is a bit ugly. Could it be that the news I heard is true?"
A wolf-like gaze flashed across his eyes, and the corners of Mephisto's mouth, which raised his volume slightly, widened,
"Has Essenkeformy really encountered problems in the industrial chain?"
Still unable to speak, but in this kind of occasion where even business enemies can't tear their faces apart, getting up and leaving with a bad complexion is no different from admitting,
Andre became more and more aware that he didn't realize that there were participants around the other party,
I, who came here tonight in order to avoid those members of the agreement being drawn in, have completely fallen into a huge crisis!
If at this juncture, in the eyes of people from all walks of life, the company's response to problems is confirmed, once it is exposed by the media and negative public opinion is formed, the chain reaction will be triggered.
Not only the energy sector, but even this financial war...
In the bright and majestic hall of the venue, I sensed that many people were staring at me, waiting for the response of the president of Essencoforme to this sentence,
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead, and at the moment when I tried to speak again but failed under the uneasy pressure of facing the "superpower",
Hearing Mephisto's unsmiling voice, he smiled and said:
"And I've heard that there seems to be something wrong with the contract for oil drilling in the Middle East?"
Andre suddenly felt a chill all over his body!
at the same time,
Outside the city center hotel building,
A black Audi galloped through the city center and stopped gracefully. All the reporters watching were immediately attracted by it, and when they were about to rush up again,
They saw a black-haired foreign youth get out of the car.
"I will solve the problem here, and I will trouble you with the investigation. I will contact you at any time if there is any situation."
Seeing what he was talking to his companions in the car, he thought that some important figure had arrived, and a group of reporters stopped in disappointment.
Holding the camera, it was rare to run the fastest this time. Both Celia and Maro sighed in the cold air.
"Excuse me, excuse me, is there a business party here tonight?"
Then I was surprised for a second by the mechanical English voice next to my ear. Looking at the black-haired young man who came over to ask, Celia was surprised for a second that technology is so advanced, and then nodded:
"Yes, it's here."
"Thanks."
Hearing the other party's polite response, watching him looking up at the golden and gorgeous building in front of him was lost in thought for a while, maybe it was the boredom of waiting in the cold night,
Celia suddenly spoke with interest to this foreign youth:
"What are you looking at? The cheapest room here costs more than a thousand yuan a night. It's not a place where ordinary people can come."
Hearing this sentence, he seemed to be taken aback for a moment,
The quiet black-haired young man in the white air at night just smiled with nostalgia and a bright expression:
"That's it, I see."
Then he walked straight into the gate of the five-star hotel building.
Seeing his actions, Celia shook her head in confusion and forgot, while Maro was still looking at the intersection, wondering when a big shot would come and let him get this month's bonus...
And stepping into the hotel, the dazzling decoration is dazzling, and the numbers on the elevator go up, thinking about the reason for the ecstasy just now,
How many times have I looked up at such a bustling mansion before, and dared not go in at all
The memory of being an ordinary person was brought back for a moment, the arrival bell rang, and the moment the elevator door opened, everyone laughed,
There was a look on his face, he gave up the tedious work of changing clothes, and the moment the monitoring switched,
Fangran directly raised his hand to activate his grasping ability,
Pure black suits, pure black leather shoes, from expensive watches to snow-white collars propped up by gold collars, after a short experience, they returned to their original identities this time,
He dressed up in a fancy dress and walked towards the entrance of the venue!
"Sir, please present the invitation...."
Out of duty, I wanted to stop him, but was swept away by the other party's gaze, the security guard suddenly felt speechless,
Then he didn't rush to catch up and shouted until he realized that the other party had already walked in!
"Wait! This gentleman!"
And at this moment in the hall of the venue, they are all watching with bated breath the conversation between the two big figures on the cloud in the center, dissatisfied with the sudden voice at the entrance,
Taking a hasty glance, Miranda on the side of the crowd frowned slightly in surprise.
What is this young man doing here, and how did he get in here
"Your Excellency Andre, do you intend to acquiesce by not saying anything?"
In the center of the hall, Mephisto's words hidden in a smile are finally visible, and the sweat on his forehead is already evident. At this moment, he was forced into a desperate situation and suddenly saw the figure at the entrance from the corner of his eye.
Andre suddenly stood up, the restriction on speaking was lifted in an inconceivable way, and he blurted out words that shocked everyone nearby.
"You... why are you here!?"
