Persecution, hey, where are the people?”

Outside the door, Andois and Claudia looked at each other. After a long while, the female investment consultant smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, we are just a company, not a parliament, are you right?"

"It doesn't matter. I believe that once the beautiful illegitimate daughter of the Kennedy family appears, he will forget all his political opinions." Andois smiled, "I think it is good for the company that he focuses on these things.

Catherine was going to treat a guest, and she was going to invite the management of the Rhône-Poulenc Company. Chen Taizhong was in a bit of a dilemma, thinking that just a few people couldn't do it. Whether or not the harem would be brought along is another matter, but I have to help.

Can she hold up the scene?

"What kind of people would be more appropriate for me to invite?" When he asked Catherine, people like Shao Guoli, Sister Sun and even Huang Hanxiang were floating around in his mind.

Of course, it is usually appropriate to invite He Baohua. As a collaborator who has benefited from it, Dean He has no reason to miss this family dinner. However, unfortunately, some matters that Dean He is handling make it inappropriate for him to attend such a family dinner.

If the Chen family invites you to a banquet rashly, it would be a big deal if you are rejected. But if someone underestimates your political intelligence, it will be a big deal.

"Private banquet, it doesn't matter." Catherine smiled, "It doesn't matter if you bring all your lovers. Of course, it would be great if you can invite leaders above the ministerial level."

Chen Taizhong rolled his eyes when you said you were so light. Yes, there are many more leaders at the ministerial level and above in Beijing than at the department level in Subo, but you don't even look at me. Do I seem to be a person with that much energy?

After much deliberation, he only thought of one person who was more suitable, and that was Anguo, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology. It was not impossible to ask the minister, Jin Xiangshi, to come over. Not only did minister Jin know him, but Meng Yi also had a good relationship with minister Jin.

But in this case, this level is a bit unequal. It is really not appropriate for a mere executive vice president of a Fortune 500 company to alarm the minister.

But in this case, it seems that the relationship with Catherine is becoming increasingly unclear, and after Catherine meets Lao An, she may really be able to use this to open up the situation. Then am I still a comprador?

Chen Taizhong thought about it carefully for a while, and found that he really had no choice. He decided to give it a try first. This was also for work, and he didn't know whether Lao An was willing to buy this face.

Of course, it was not appropriate for him to go directly to Minister An for this invitation. He probably went to Zhang Yufeng, the director of the General Division of the Innovation Office, "Chang Zhang, I have something to do here."

After Zhang Yufeng heard what he said, his mouth opened slightly, and he was stunned for a while before he asked softly, "I said Taizhong, have you and Minister An ever met before?"

This was because Director Zhang was used to getting along with him, so he asked without seeing anyone else. Otherwise, he would have to go through a lot of hoops. Chen Taizhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is definitely not the case. I also feel it is a bit presumptuous, so this is not the case."

, just came to see your brother to ask?"

"You're not just being presumptuous." Zhang Yufeng also smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that you dared to think about trying to support the deputy minister for such a big deal. I really don't know how to write the word "death". "If we meet officially,

Then you can barely say, this is a private meeting."

"Didn't I dare to think about it just because it was a private meeting?" Chen Taizhong spread his hands and said, "If it is official, I really don't have the guts to think about it, even though "this year is the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France."

"Tsk" Zhang Yufeng remained silent again. He was in a dilemma. Judging from his experience, Minister An would not agree to such a banquet. But Chen Taizhong was different. This man was not only a typical example of Buzao, but also a member of the old Huang family.

Jiaohou, last time I was able to directly bring the second son of the Huang family to feed Minister An, this kind of energy is not something you can just blow off.

More importantly, he didn't know what Minister An was thinking. In China's officialdom, being friendly with businessmen is a taboo for politicians. However, having said that, Chinese officialdom is also a place that pays special attention to connections. Regardless of Chen Taizhong's background,

Mention, Rhône-Poulenc's vice president, and he didn't particularly humiliate Boss An.

"I know this company, it can be regarded as a high-tech company." Director Zhang hesitated for a long time, and finally decided that he wanted to get rich and rich, so he just took a gamble. As long as I word my words appropriately, I believe Minister An won't blame me too much.

, "I'm willing to go all out and make you a friend, Taizhong, but I've already agreed, I can only pass the message to Director Tao, but I can't guarantee it for Minister An."

As a result, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Taizhong received a call from Director Zhang, "Taizhong, Boss An has a meeting today. He can't go, but he said that he wants me to go on his behalf. You can say it."

Is it appropriate for me to go?

"Brother Zhang, are you talking like this to others?" Chen Taizhong laughed dryly, exchanged a few words of greetings, hung up the phone, and muttered angrily in his heart, I originally wanted to invite all the chiefs, but it turned out to be a good thing.

long!

However, this kind of reaction was probably within his expectation. Considering what kind of person Minister An was, he thought about inviting him over for a private banquet with an American. And the reason was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.

First, Rhône-Poulenc is a global leader in the chemical and pharmaceutical fields.

Anyway, Lao An is not denying face. At least he allows Zhang Yufeng to use his banner. In the lower cities, a division director can more independently represent the provincial party committee and government to visit anyone, but in ministries and commissions, it is different.

If you want to represent the minister without permission, it is simply because the birthday man is tired of eating arsenic.

Since Zhang Yufeng is not an outsider, and Chen Taizhong arranged it, of course he will not be seen outside. Lao Zhang has long known that Ma Xiaoya is his lover, and having another Zhang Xin will definitely not hurt.

To his delight, at half past five, a piece of good news came through. Abel contacted Kochisa. The minister had returned to China, but his senior assistant Henri Gounod was now in Beijing and was willing to attend such a meeting.

A private dinner.

This is not only a reward from Mr. Minister, but also because Chen Taizhong slightly revealed Catherine's identity.

At the same time, Abel repeatedly reminded Chen Taizhong that Henry was not a small person. He was the master whom Kochisa relied on as his right-hand man. That is to say, Mr. Minister had gained a lot from this trip to Beijing, so he temporarily stayed here to consolidate and develop this trip.

results.

Catherine's villa is almost 300 square meters not counting the first floor. The living room on the first floor is more than 100 square meters. When Chen Taizhong and Henry arrived, ribbons and lanterns were hanging at the door. As soon as they entered, they saw piles of

The nine-story champagne tower.

Catherine and Elizabeth were directing people to be busy. Seeing them arrive, they greeted them with smiles. Chen Taizhong asked in confusion, "Are there so many guests today?"

"This is respect for the guests." Catherine answered him with a smile, with a rare light in her eyes. Obviously, she was quite excited at the moment. Maybe, this is what she is used to.

It was not too early for the two of them to arrive, because the banquet was held at seven o'clock. It was not appropriate to arrive too early or too late. Six-thirty was already quite early.

Henry is a tall, thin, handsome middle-aged man. He actually carries a bottle of red wine with him, which shows that he is very concerned about the relevant etiquette. Finally, it's okay. Chen Taizhong still has something in his Sumeru ring. He picked up a box of truffles.

I sent it there and no one was missing when it arrived.

A few minutes later, the organizers gradually left the venue, and around 6:50, the Big Three, Zhang Yufeng and Rhone Poulenc, arrived one after another.

When Edward saw Henry, he didn't need any introduction at all. He frowned and said, "Oh my God, I would never have come if I knew you were here."

Henry glanced at him and smiled slightly, "I'm just the opposite. If I knew you would come today, then I would definitely come." He didn't finish his words. It was obvious that he was hiding something in a thousand things, but he showed a good demeanor.

For the family dinner hosted by Aunt Katherine, the host naturally had to invite two friends. One of them was Susan, a girl who was full of jewelry and noble but had no introduction background, and the other was a middle-aged man who was from Lehman Brothers Asia.

Clark, independent director of Investment Co., Ltd.

At seven o'clock, the banquet officially started, and the host invited everyone to dine. It was also a buffet type. Amidst the soft music, everyone smiled softly and told some interesting stories. French and English were mixed with Chinese, which was quite interesting.

.

Unfortunately, around 7:10, an unexpected guest came to the door. Elizabeth played half the role of a housekeeper and went to open the door. When she opened the door, she found two unknown men, "Who are you looking for?"

"Where is Chen Taizhong?" the older man said, looking calm but intimidating, "Let him come out to pick me up, huh, that's too much!"

Elizabeth's Chinese was not very good, but it was no problem to listen to it. What's more, when the other person opened his mouth, he said the three words she was most familiar with, and it was still very unkind. She turned around and walked in, "Please wait a moment."

"

When Chen Taizhong heard someone talking like this, he felt strange and couldn't help but open his eyes to take a look. The next moment, he hurried out. Isha followed him. He saw the arrogant Director Chen in the past with a smile on his face, "Ha,

I asked who it was, and it turned out to be Erbo Huang, uh, and Director Lang,"

"That's a bit too much." Huang Hanxiang grimaced and poked the young deputy director's chest with his hand, "I said, the person who received the Rhone-Poulenc company didn't even notify me?"

"Aren't you afraid that Mr. Huang will have too many things to do?" Chen Taizhong laughed dryly. From a certain point of view, Mr. Huang's complaint was quite reasonable. When he asked others to help Kezisa connect, the name he used was

In order to attract investment from Rhône-Poulenc to Tiannan, now a French company has come, but he didn’t even say a word. It’s really a bit weird.

However, this kind of thing can be pursued or not. After all, the old Huang family has shown a posture of not interfering in Tiannan affairs. Huang Hanxiang also stated at the beginning that he was not interested in getting involved in the matter of attracting investment.

Then, the problem must have arisen with Director Lang. The Chen family was deeply impressed by the director of Office No. 1. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look sideways and smiled, "Director Lang can take advantage of his busy schedule."

"Just pretend I'm not here," Director Lang replied calmly. His expression was not cold, but it was not at all enthusiastic.

"Okay, okay, lead the way." Huang Hanxiang reached out and patted him on the shoulder to stop him from talking nonsense. The meaning was obvious. You should talk less about Director Lang.

After welcoming the two people in, Chen Taizhong introduced them, but neither of them was introduced in detail. One was Mr. Huang, who was engaged in ocean shipping, and the other was introduced more simply, just three words: Director Yilang.

It was fine that others didn't know the identities of these two people. Zhang Yufeng had met Huang Hanxiang. When he saw that Director Chen had invited this man, he stepped forward to say a few words of courtesy.

Ordinarily, Director Zhang has the lowest status among the visitors today, but he was ordered to act under the banner of Minister An. When he was talking to others just now, he also opened his mouth about the Ministry of Science and Technology and shut up about the Global Science and Technology Exhibition. We cannot fall into this trap.

Isn’t it because of the reputation of the leader?

But seeing Huang Hanxiang coming, he really didn't dare to act like he was giving advice. Fortunately, Huang Hanxiang glanced at him and nodded slightly, "You are from the Ministry of Science and Technology."

"Xiao Zhang from the General Affairs Department, Minister An asked me to come over and greet Taizhong on his behalf." Zhang Yufeng explained with a smile. It was a great honor for Huang Hanxiang to remember that he was from the Ministry of Science and Technology. "What do you want to eat? I can help you."

take."

"No, just come over and have a couple of drinks." Huang Hanxiang waved his hand lightly, and the next moment, Zhang Xin had already come over with a plate, "Mr. Huang, please give me this drink."

Zhang Xin is not a waiter, but she knows the relationship between Chen Taizhong and Huang Hanxiang best, and Mr. Huang also knows her. When they see someone coming, why not rush to get involved?

At this time, whether it was a witch or a dwarf, all the foreigners in the room could see that the person who came was not a simple person. Just two bodyguards standing behind him could explain the problem. However, the owner did not introduce his identity, so everyone also

You can't break your head and ask, right?

Then, Chen Taizhong introduced the people in the room to Huang Hanxiang in a low voice, and that was it for the others. When he heard Clark's name, Mr. Huang frowned slightly, "What company does he belong to?"

He did not mention the introduction here. Zhang Yufeng returned to his seat and began to think about it. It was not unreasonable for Xiao Chen to invite Minister An. At least Huang Hanxiang was present.

Wait a minute, Director Zhang sat there pretending to drink, slowly observing for a while, and suddenly discovered something: Huang Hanxiang was very polite to Director Lang next to him!

What kind of director is this?

After waiting for a while, he became more and more sure of his observation. He found an opportunity to take the wine glass and turned to Chen Taizhong, "Taizhong, Director Lang, seems to have a lot of background, right?"

"Yeah." Chen Taizhong nodded calmly. Thinking that Zhang Yufeng had given himself some face today, he secretly raised his thumb and said, "This" person is in the office. If you have a chance to have a drink with him, eh?"
