Chapter 74 The noble invites Umbrella
Remember Qi San in one second.xiaoshuo., online novel
Zhou Yi spent two days in Paris, during which Zhou Yi spent most of his time with his family and Ororo and their two female friends.
Accompanying these important people in his life, he visited the streets and alleys of Paris and various scenic spots in the past two days.
Zhou Yi, who rarely had the opportunity to spend time with his family and girlfriend, wanted to make up for what he owed them as much as possible in these two days.Over the years, he has been preparing for future enemies.Although he created a quite favorable environment for his family, he also paid a certain price.He really doesn't spend much time with his family.
And for the two female friends Ororo and Qin Gray, Zhou Yi actually felt a little guilty in his heart.Because of the difference in status between them, Zhou Yi was basically unable to take them to attend some formal high-level banquets.Not to mention having a formal title.
Ororo also knew this.So after dating Zhou Yi for so many years, she has never formally established a relationship with Zhou Yi.Zhou Yi mentioned this kind of thing, but Ororo did not agree.Because she knows that her identity is not helpful to Zhou Yi's career, but is an obstacle.
She is a smart and self-reliant woman who is unwilling to become a vassal of Zhou Yi.Therefore, this disparity in status once alienated her from Zhou Yi.If it weren't for Zhou Yi's persistence, it would be difficult for them to get to where they are now.
As for Jean Gray, her identity is even more embarrassing.The affair between him and Zhou Yi has always been in a dominant position.It can be said that it was Zhou Yi who seduced her step by step towards the darkness in her heart.However, she was somewhat enjoying it.
It's not like Qin Gray has never thought about occupying the most important position next to Zhou Yi.It's just that the guilt deep in her heart towards Ororo and Scott prevented her from taking any action.For this reason, she could only let Zhou Yi do whatever he wanted.Also because of this, she was able to share more of her guilt with Zhou Yi.
The relationship between men and women is so complicated that Zhou Yi couldn't put it down.He enjoyed this feeling very much, but he was even more unwilling to let go of them.He has not given them much, but he wants to give them the best.
Just like it was his plan, in some ways it was also for them.Because this is their lifelong wish to be able to walk in the sunshine openly.
Another fun trip.Zhou Yi returned from the famous Louvre with two beauties, his clingy sister and a group of his followers.When it comes to appreciating art, Jean Gray is considered an expert.But even guys like Ororo and Xia Ruisi who have no artistic talent will admire these art treasures collected in them.
Those gorgeous works of art from all over the world that embody the essence of ancient human thought will be admired by any creature with aesthetic ability.
Watching Charis and her little sisters still chattering about ancient legends from Egypt, Ororo was still asking Qin Gray about the identification and classification of gorgeous Chinese porcelain.Zhou Yi stretched out comfortably.If possible, he really hoped that this time could stop.However, such a wish is basically impossible to realize.
A well-dressed gentleman appeared in front of Zhou Yi and respectfully handed an invitation to Zhou Yi.At the same time, he spoke in English with an ancient accent.
"Hello, distinguished Mr. Zhou. I am the steward of the Ashford family. I heard that you are coming to Paris. My master is very happy and hopes to invite you to the banquet held at the Ashford Manor tomorrow night."
"The Ashford family, I remember you are old nobles in England, why did you come to Paris?
. "Zhou Yi was not too impressed with the Ashford family, but it was somewhat impressive. It was a large family that originated in England. It was even glorious for a time during the Victorian period. But after that, its population gradually declined.
The previous head of the Asifo family was a genius in biology, and he founded a huge multinational pharmaceutical company in partnership with several like-minded people.And little by little, the company grew to a huge scale.
This company, Umbrella, is now a giant in biological research, pharmaceutical production, medical hardware, and the defense industry.It can be said to be the top giant in Europe, and even extended its tentacles to the other side of the ocean in the United States.
But America's local industries are very resistant to such foreign opponents.So far, the company's tentacles have only stayed in remote areas of the Midwest, unable to set foot in the core areas occupied by Stark Industries and Osborn Industries.
As Umbrella Company grew, the Asifo family gradually declined.The previous generation’s head of the family disappeared for no reason, and the head of this generation’s family, Alfred.Ashford Zhou Yi had seen him, and he was a poor man who was overwhelmed by the current leader of Umbrella Company.Although the outside world has always boasted that his IQ level is at the top of humankind, Zhou Yi does not think it is of any use.You must know that this world cannot be played by those with high IQ.
However, no matter how declining aristocrats are, they are still aristocrats, and the power of the Ashford family cannot be underestimated.Zhou Yi didn't want to offend such a local big shot for no reason, as that would not be a good thing for his mother, who stayed in Europe all year round.So Zhou Yi just nodded and said after being slightly confused.
"I understand. Tell Mr. Alfred for me to thank him for the invitation. I will be there on time."
Leave the invitation and act like a gentleman.

Mr. Jia bowed and left.And after he left, someone asked questions.
"Is he someone you know well?"
Seeing that it was Ororo who was speaking, Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head.
"It's just an acquaintance, but in the business world, even people I don't know, as long as there is benefit, they can bow their heads and invite them. It seems that Alfred or the Umbrella company behind him needs my help."
"It's the largest medical company in Europe. What do they want from you?" Qin Grei asked, who had heard about this company. "They mainly focus on medical and biological research, and they don't seem to have any intersection with your industry."
"Who knows, maybe there's something wrong with their industrial chain." Shrugging, Zhou Yi said that he didn't understand the situation. "They probably took a fancy to the liquidity in my hand."
"You have to be careful. I always feel that they have no good intentions when they come to you." Ororo was a little worried. She didn't know the purpose of these so-called businessmen, but a woman's nature made her feel that there must be some conspiracy.
"Auroro, don't pay attention to these people." Jean Gray pulled Ororo and said teasingly.She didn't want her friends to be exposed to these dark things too much.So I could only distance myself from the topic. "They are like sharks. They will swim over immediately when they smell the slightest fishy smell."
"You're right" directly agreed with Qin Gelei's statement, and Zhou Yi frankly admitted her title. "We are indeed sharks, otherwise how could we be at the top of the marine life chain."
"Sharks are ferocious creatures that will not let go of their own kind," Ororo warned. She had always complained about these large companies that researched organisms.Because many of their shady industries have more or less used mutants for experiments.
"I know, I'll be careful
. "Zhou Yi patted the back of Ororo's hand and comforted her. "Don't worry, I'm not such a stupid guy.Besides, my identity is not something that such a declining family can easily get their hands on. "
Although his words were a bit exaggerated, they were not too unrealistic.The Asifo family has been separated from the core layer of Umbrella since the previous generation of the family, and is only responsible for some peripheral research work and departments.But by Alfred's generation, even these things can't be kept.Except for a research laboratory in Antarctica, he only has partial power of Umbrella's security department.
Such a family of Yaxifu has indeed not shaken Zhou Yi's power. After all, Zhou Yi is the core executive of two giant companies.The strength of these two companies is even greater than that of Umbrella.
Giving Zhou Yi a blank look, Ororo no longer worried about him in a place like this.After all, there was still some gap between her and him, and this distance restricted her from being able to bear everything with him.
Smiling slightly, Zhou Yi's hand under the table squeezed Qin Gray quietly. Qin Gray trembled in fright and quickly broke away from his hand.When Ororo wasn't paying attention, he glared at him angrily.
Zhou Yi, who was already thick-skinned to a certain extent, ignored the eye attack from Qin Gray.He raised his chin as if nothing had happened and said to the two ladies.
"Tomorrow's banquet. Ororo, are you willing to be my female companion and accompany me to the banquet?"
Ororo thought for a while and shook his head silently.
"Sorry, Yi, you know I'm not suitable for this kind of occasion. So you'd better find someone else to go with you."
Zhou Yigang turned his attention to Qin Grei, and the woman who had been frightened by Zhou Yigang's little move said rudely.
"Don't even think about it. I won't be your female companion at a party like this."
"Okay" Zhou Yi shrugged. "It seems that I will have to appear alone at Ashford's banquet tomorrow."
"Yi, let me go with you. I haven't seen what a noble banquet is like." Xia Ruisi, who had been eavesdropping on Zhou Yi at another table with her ears propped up, leaned over and said flatteringly. Zhou Yi said.
Zhou Yi held down the beret on her head, squinted his eyes and said, "Unless I die, dear. Otherwise, don't think you could have anything to do with such a messy banquet before."
"Why not?" Xia Ruisi waved her fist in anger. "You annoying guy, don't think that because you are my brother, you can deprive me of my right to freedom."
"When you ask for pocket money from me, you have already paid the price with your freedom. My dear sister." Zhou Yi disdainfully expressed the value of freedom, and Zhou Yi retorted clearly. "Do you think there are any good things in this kind of aristocracy? Let me tell you. Half of the current aristocrats are gay, and most of them are men. The rest are not as good as these true love patients. Why? , are you satisfied with what I say?”
"That's disgusting, you guy." Xia Ruisi said, waving her hands in disgust. "I'm still eating dessert, can you please stop saying such disgusting things?"
"It's you who hit the muzzle yourself. My dear."
She stuffed a large piece of cake into her mouth, and there was an eccentric look in Xia Ruisi's green eyes.
"Don't think you can scare me like this. I have a big backing." Unfortunately, what she said was too vague, and Zhou Yi didn't understand what she was talking about at all.
Zhou Yi spent two days in Paris, during which Zhou Yi spent most of his time with his family and Ororo and their two female friends.
