95. The girl by the lake
The west coast of the earth, at 9 pm.
At this time, the Chinese people had just gotten up from bed. After breakfast, they were already anxious to go out to catch the bus and rushed to the company. They were afraid that they would be deducted their hard-earned salary by their boss if they were late.
For New York, this time, the nightlife of this city that never sleeps has just begun.
New York, inside a huge manor, is brightly lit at this moment.
Everyone who walks through this manor at the door will cast curious eyes into it. Just because this is the largest Chinese family in the Eastern District of New York, it has been prosperous for hundreds of years. Although the members of this family are gradually behind the scenes with the development of the times, there are still many legends about them.
Some people say that they are night watchmen in New York City, which never sleeps. Some people say that they are a giant dragon entrenched in the Western world, emitting a surging atmosphere at every moment.
And this family is one of the three families in the Hongmen, the Xiao family.
In the manor, in a study. After my grandfather passed away, Xiao Han, who had already started taking over the family business, was still carrying the lamp to handle some affairs in the family. The Hongmen still needed a meeting to hold a presbyterian meeting to officially nominate him as one of the top ten elders of the Hongmen.
If the meeting was passed, the name Xiao Han would undoubtedly become the youngest member of the Presbyterian Church in the history of the Hongmen. Unfortunately, if it were not for his sister, Xiao Han would probably become the most dazzling existence among their generation of young people.
And now, even if Xiao Han entered the Hongmen Presbyterian Church, his glory was still out of reach compared to Yu Qi.
Before his grandfather died, he left a will to let Xiao Yuqi inherit the position of head of the Xiao family. Uncle Tong and Uncle Shan, two powerful masters of the Xiao family, were protected unconditionally. The two masters trained by the capable family have now become Yuqi's personal bodyguards. I am afraid that only the deceased grandfather has enjoyed this honor.
Xiao Han smiled bitterly, then put down the document, picked up the coffee prepared by the secretary. As the aroma of the coffee rose, Xiao Han picked it up and took a sip.
"The coffee sent by wealthy families is indeed extraordinary, and the taste is much better than mine before."
Xiao Han took a sip and couldn't help but sigh.
The mouth is mellow and bitter, but the aftertaste is long and the aftertaste is endless.
Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief as if he was enjoying it, and then looked at the packaging of the coffee. Several black English letters on it: bluemountaincoffee.
This coffee, also known as Blue Mountain Coffee, is only produced in the Blue Mountains region of Jamaica, Central America. Only coffee grown in the Blue Mountains region above 1,800 meters can authorize the use of the "Bluemountaincoffee," which accounts for 15% of the total Blue Mountains coffee production in Jamaica.
Blue Mountain Coffee has the characteristics of mellowness, bitterness and sweetness, softness and smoothness. It has a slightly sour taste, which can make the taste more sensitive and taste its unique taste. It is the best coffee. Even in New York City, where the economy is prosperous and wealthy, there are very few people who can drink this kind of coffee. As for ordinary people, I am afraid that they have never even heard of it.
Ability determines status, and status determines insight. This is often the knowledge and experience of those with high and powerful positions is much more than ordinary people.
Dongdong!
Here, a deep knock on the door suddenly came from outside the study room.
"Come in."
Xiao Han said lightly, then the door was pushed open, and an old man slowly walked in with a bunch of documents in his hand.
Xiao Han immediately touched his forehead. It seemed that something had come again. He was afraid of death tonight and was going to stay up until late at night.
"It's not a marriage letter sent by the royal family members of Western Europe and those big families?" Xiao Han said weakly.
Since he and his sister returned from China's divorce, books on this kind of marriage have been sent several times every day, and they are sent once every once a while.
Xiao Han is almost crazy. Is this a proposal? This is a forced marriage!
Xiao Han was immediately full of anger and said impatiently: "Please pick a few letters from it and send them to Yuqi. Just throw away the others."
"Young Master, this is not good. These families that dare to marry our Xiao family and send love letters to the lady are not much weaker than us. Some even we have to take it seriously. If it is not handled well, it will probably cause their dissatisfaction."
"Although our Xiao family is not afraid of them, if so many forces offend us, it will definitely cause huge losses to our industry." The old man advised.
Xiao Han was helpless: "What do you think you should do?"
"I suggest you send it to the lady. Maybe if the lady likes one, she will agree to get married?"
Xiao Han thought for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, I'll send it to Yuqi."
