In the evening, Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing attended the welcome party held by Saul at the French Federation.

"Lu Xiyan, come here and introduce you to you, Consul General Bao Daizhi!" Thor admired Lu Xiyan very much, not only in terms of medical skills, but also in terms of character.

Bao Daizhi is in her early fifties, has a burly figure and a pair of bright eyes.

"I am very honored to know you, Consul General, Hello." Lu Xiyan greeted him fluently in French.

"Bao Daizhi, this is what I mentioned to you. The doctor who saved my life has very good medical skills and is also a student of Daniel."

"Daniel!" Bao Daizhi exclaimed.

"Yes, I only found out after I was rescued by him." Sole and Bao Daizhi had a good relationship. Otherwise, how could the Consul General invite such a New Year's party?

The Consul General was present, and all the prominent figures in the political and business circles in the French Concession came whenever they were invited.

However, this is a cocktail party in the upper class of the French Concession, and there are very few Chinese people. Sheng Xiyuan was also invited this time.

This kind of cocktail party that is mainly French, rarely invites outsiders to attend. Generally, only people with a French study background and a certain status are qualified.

"This time I went back to Paris, I had dinner with Daniel. He also told me that he had a Chinese student, who was in Shanghai, and he was the one who was talking about you, right?"

"If Professor Daniel doesn't have a second Chinese student, I think he is talking about me." Lu Xiyan nodded slightly.

"Xiyan is very good. He is also a senior consultant of the Franchise House. He has helped the Franchise House a lot of fun. Director Carl also has a great impression of him." Thor said vigorously.

Bao Daizhi nodded and had a very good impression of Lu Xiyan. She even touched the wine glass and talked about some interesting stories about Paris, France.

In addition to Bao Daizhi, Consul Oqi and Lu Xiyan have already met each other in the past. When they meet again, they don’t need Thor’s help to introduce them.

Chief Executive Officer Forers.

He is usually a rare senior figure in the French Concession. At the cocktail party, Lu Xiyan became familiar with his face, and his skillful French made him communicate without any language barriers.

His profession is a doctor, which brings him natural convenience. You know, no matter how Westerners look down on Chinese people, they still retract their arrogant hearts when dealing with doctors, and at most they look at you with a slight distrust.

Because you offended the doctor, you don’t know when you need to ask someone, especially a doctor with good medical skills.

No one would reject the friendship of a surgeon with great medical skills unless he was kicked in the brain by a donkey.

Lu Xiyan was gentle and elegant. If he hadn't brought Meng Fanxing tonight, he would have been surrounded by many noble ladies and socialites.

High-quality men are like women, and they are all popular everywhere.

The cocktail party is a social circle, and you can only come in if you are qualified. If Thor doesn’t invite him, it will be difficult for Lu Xiyan to join.

What circle you are in and who you come into contact with will determine your future achievements and height to a large extent.

And some information is completely different from what people outside and inside the circle hear.

Military intelligence is important, but economic, political and diplomatic intelligence is equally important, sometimes even higher than military.

Therefore, whenever there are some high-end cocktail parties, dance parties, etc., they are all the intelligence brokers who are trying to squeeze in.

Of course, they will use various identities.

Just like Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing, they attended the New Year's party held by Saul, with less simple purpose. In addition to entering this circle, they also wanted to collect some sensitive political and diplomatic information.

Maybe the first time I met, I won’t talk to you about this, but what about the next time?

"oh……"

"Sorry, this lady, I didn't mean it. Should I deal with it? Change my clothes first?" Lu Xiyan followed Thor to see a circle of people, turned around and found that Meng Fanxing was no longer by his side.

Perhaps he didn't notice, he met someone with a glass of wine. The red wine in the glass splashed out, just soaking the other person's chest.

This is very embarrassing.

Especially the other party was a young and beautiful white girl with very white skin, beautiful eyes, and brown wavy shawls.

"Oh, no need, sir, I'll go back later." The girl's upbringing was very good, and Lu Xiyan's attitude of admitting her mistake was also good, so she said hurriedly.

"The red wine stains are difficult to clean. Miss, your coat is very valuable. I will compensate you one, okay?" Lu Xiyan said.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the wine in your hands is splashing on the other person's chest. This is an undeniable fact.

"Sir, I really don't need it. I didn't see you just now, so I am..." The girl blushed with a nervous look.

"It's okay, my name is Lu Xiyan. I haven't asked the lady for her name yet?" Lu Xiyan nodded slightly and asked.

"Allen, Alan Bewei."

"Miss Allen doesn't have a French accent?" Lu Xiyan has been in France for five years and is quite familiar with the accents of various regions of France.

"I'm British, born in Singapore," Allen explained.

"Oh, so that's it." Lu Xiyan nodded, "Miss Allen, I'm very embarrassed to use your coat. Can you leave me a contact information? I'll buy one and pay you for it."

"Mr. Lu, really no need..."

"Allen?"

A tall and handsome young Westerner walked over in the voice, at least half a taller than Lu Xiyan. Standing with Allen, he looked quite compatible.

"Link, I'm very happy to know you, Dr. Lu." Link revealed Lu Xiyan's identity at a glance.

"Thank you, I accidentally sprinkled the wine on your female companion's clothes just now, and planned to compensate her with a new one to express my apology." Lu Xiyan explained.

"You are too polite, just a little wine stain. There is really no need to ask you to compensate for a new one. Moreover, you have apologized, which is enough." Link said, "Is that true, Allen, my dear."

"Yes, Link is right, I really don't need your compensation." Allen said sincerely.

"Okay, then leave a contact number or address. When it's convenient, please come out for coffee?" Lu Xiyan smiled faintly, and he did not continue to persist.

"This is my business card!" Link took out a business card from his pocket.

"Mr. Link is a photojournalist for the Shanghai Times?"

"Yes, Allen is studying in the medical school of the church. Speaking of which, in the future, it will be your colleague of Dr. Lu." Link smiled slightly.

"Is that true? If Miss Allen wants to have an internship or find a job after graduation, you can come to me." Lu Xiyan nodded slightly.

"Then thank you Dr. Lu."

"Xiyan..." Meng Fanxing walked over from a group of people.

"Let me introduce Meng Fanxing, my wife." Lu Xiyan introduced Meng Fanxing and said, "Meimei, this Mr. Link is a photographer, Miss Allen, who studies in the medical school of the church and is also considered a colleague."

"Is that so? You two are good." Meng Fanxing smiled slightly.

"Hello Mrs. Lu."

"Xiyan, why don't we sit there for a while and talk while standing. Isn't it a bit rude?" Meng Fanxing suggested.

"Okay, Mr. Link, Miss Allen, please!"

"please!"

...

The big guy always leaves early. Lu Xiyan chatted with Link and Allen for a while, but was called by Thor's housekeeper Oberman.

Thor has something to look for him.

"Mr. Thor, are you asking me for something?"

"Xiyan, sit down." Thor directly called Lu Xiyan's name to show affection and also to express the close relationship between the two.

"Although we signed the Munich Agreement with Germany in Munich, it is hard to say how long this agreement can ensure peace between France and Germany can last. I feel that it is only a matter of time before the outbreak of the European war, and our government has not realized this at all, and it is ridiculous to hope for an agreement." Saul expressed his dissatisfaction with the French government's weak foreign policy.

"Do your government intend to have similar ideas of compromise with Japan in the Far East?" Lu Xiyan frowned and asked back.

"Xiyan, I am very surprised by your keenness. I think if you were in politics, you would definitely be an excellent politician." Thor said in surprise.

"Do you think there is a chance in my current country?" Lu Xiyan smiled bitterly.

"Yes, your country is suffering from unprecedented aggression, and some people in your government are even more fantasizing about using so-called concessions to exchange for temporary peace, which is extremely stupid." Thor said heavily.

"It's a pity that those in power are a group of selfish people. They only consider themselves, not this country or this nation." Lu Xiyan said.

"As far as I know, Britain and the United States already have such an idea, and our government is also in favor of this?"

"Your country wants to give up your interests in China and give them to the Japanese?" Lu Xiyan was shocked. This was a very bad situation.

"Xiyan, I don't want this to happen. My industry and wealth are in China. If I leave China, where will I go?" Thor was a little excited, but he was just a businessman and could not change the decisions made by those politicians.

"Mr. Saul, are you going to transfer your industry in China?"

Lu Xiyan's heart moved, and he keenly realized that Thor had found him for the purpose.

"Yes, under the control of the Japanese, Shanghai is in the French Concession in time, and our living environment will become worse and worse. The Munich Agreement is just to delay the outbreak of the European War. If it is a shorter one or two years, it will only be three or five years." Thor nodded.

"The European war broke out and France is unlikely to survive. Mr. Thor, where are you going?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"If the Germans really invade my motherland, I will go back and fight with them and defend my country to the death." Thor said without hesitation.

"You're back, what should I do with the industry here?"

"Oberman will stay, but he is old and lacks energy after all, and he may not be able to handle some things." Thor said, "So, I want to ask you to take over Lai'an Foreign Company."

"Mr. Thor, I know nothing about architectural design. Isn't this difficult for me?" Lu Xiyan said.

Lai'an Foreign Business started with architectural design. Many famous buildings in Shanghai were from Lai'an Foreign Business. Later, they entered real estate and gained the status of Saul in French business today.

"No, a good architect may not know how to operate." Sol said, "Do you know how many projects are going to start in Shanghai this year?"

Lu Xiyan shook his head.

"It's only one-third of the time before August last year. In fact, Lai'an Foreign Company can't afford to support so many people. Over the past year, I have laid off two-thirds of my employees." Saul said, "I can sell other real estate and stocks directly to let others accept it, but Lai'an Foreign Company, I want to keep it, and the Saul Fund."

"Can I go back and think about it?"
