Before he came, Ye Banlan had already added an extra chair next to her, and Darien sat down with a snap.


    As soon as he sat down, Darian expressed his bitterness: "Oh, Sister Y... Lan, you don''t know that I never participate in the entertainment activities held by the Heritage Center because I don''t like the dinners they prepare at all. It''s too difficult. have eaten!"


    When he is usually busy, he would rather drink nutritional supplements to stay alive than touch food that is difficult to swallow.


    During the years of studying at China University, he had developed an appetite for China''s delicious food.


    "Sister Lan understands me. I like to eat barbecue the most." Darian rolled up his sleeves and picked up a bunch of barbecue without saying anything, "It''s delicious, it''s really delicious."


    “…”


    He was the only one making the sound of chewing food on the whole table. Everyone else seemed to have turned into stone sculptures, and even time stood still.


    The director always felt that because he met too many bad people today, he was mentally in a trance.


    Otherwise, how could he meet Darien Stewart, the youngest deputy director of the World Cultural Heritage Center, here?


    He must be hallucinating!


    The director couldn''t help but shuddered, and turned his head tremblingly: "Old, Old Liu, give me a slap and let me see if I am dreaming."


    However, Producer Liu was also dumbfounded and stared blankly at Darien who was enjoying his meal.


    dream.


    He is dreaming.


    After Darien finished a plate of barbecue, he found that no one moved and just stared at him, which made him a little creepy.


    He rubbed his arms: "Huh? Aren''t you all hungry? Eat, you''re one of our own, you''re welcome."


    One sentence finally brought the director and the others back from their state of confusion.


    But these three words "our own people" shocked the directors and others.


    They saw how servile Andrew Carl was after Darien showed up at the party.


    Darien was a little confused and could only turn to Ye Wanlan for help: "What''s going on with them?"


    "You scared them." Ye Banlan raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together, and we all like to scare people."


    "Ahem!" Darian choked, "Sister Lan, you can''t also scold yourself."


    "Director, Producer Liu, this is Darian Stewart, the deputy director of the World Cultural Heritage Center." Ye Banlan nodded and said, "He is also my life-long friend. He is a member of his own family, so there is no need to be cautious."


    The director finally couldn''t help but take a breath: "D-Mr. Darien, you...hello!"


    "Director of "Collection of China", I have heard of you." Darien shook hands with him, "Your directorship is very strong, and I look forward to the film being released on August 1st."


    The director almost fainted from happiness.


    Producer Liu looked at him with disdain: "Virtue!"


    But when it was his turn to shake hands with Darien, he also felt very happy.


    The director thought to himself that Ye Banlan actually knew such a person. She had never mentioned it before, so it was too low-key.


    If it had been anyone else, he would have shouted, "Vice Dean Darien and I are good friends, what do you want?"


    This kind of character is really something that even an old man like him admires.


    Soon, under the adjustment of Ye Turning, the atmosphere became active again.


    "Ignore that idiot Andrew. He only looks for presence in others every day." Darien snorted coldly, "I will go back and deal with him properly for what happened today."


    To show Ye Banlan''s face is to look down on him, and he holds a grudge!


    "Drink and drink." After saying that, Darien greeted, "When I have time, I will definitely go to your China for a stroll."


    "No problem!" The director''s expression brightened, "You can come and I will be your tour guide."


    Darien smiled: "Then I''m just waiting to experience the beauty of China Continent."


    **


    The two-day global ceremony ended successfully. Of course, this was also indispensable because the MN Group contacted various forces and did not allow them to take action against Wan Tian Qing Company.


    Even though MN Group deliberately suppressed the news of Brad Carter''s kidnapping, his failure to appear at the Universal Gala has caused a lot of controversy. [How come I didn’t see Brad Carter at this year’s Universal Gala? Could it be that he was fired by the MN Group? 】


    [Impossible, absolutely impossible. If MN Group hires Brad, Gadika and Freya Ined will definitely pay a high price to hire him. Then the fashion industry will inevitably make some big moves. 】


    [Uh, hearsay, the reason why Brad Carter did not attend is because he disappeared and was kidnapped by someone unknown. The MN Group is preparing the reward. 】


    【What? ! I remember the security system around Brad was very strong. How could he be kidnapped? 】


    [Hiss...if Brad disappears, the fashion industry will really be turned upside down. 】


    As soon as the Global Ceremony was over, Fang Qingli also made an appointment with the MN Group for a negotiation location at Ye Turning''s signal.


    This place is very close to the Jida headquarters, right under the Jida''s nose.


    In addition to Fang Qingli, two other senior executives of Wan Tianqing Company were present.


    After the chairman of MN Group entered the room, he glanced around and asked very politely: "I wonder about the lady who was on the phone with me?"


    "The lady who spoke to you?" Fang Qingli was a little surprised, "Mr. Cyril only heard the voice but never saw her appearance. How can you be sure that she is not here?"


    The full name of the chairman of MN Group is Cyril Mitchell. When he was young, he was also a rare handsome man in the center of the world. Otherwise, it would be impossible to succeed the huge fashion empire of MN Group.


    Cyril smiled faintly: "Although I only heard the voice, I could tell from the voice that there was a giant dragon hidden in this lady''s bones, and the sound she made was awe-inspiring, so I knew it as soon as I saw it. She is not here."


    After a pause, he smiled again: "Of course, Miss Fang and you three ladies are also the best among us."


    Fang Qingli''s heart trembled slightly. She pretended to lift her hair, but actually tapped the headset with her finger.


    "I heard it." Ye Banlan''s voice came out clearly from the headset, and she also smiled, "You are an old vixen in the business world. If he doesn''t even have this kind of vision, he is not qualified to succeed MN Group. As chairman, don’t be nervous, just do as I say.”


    After listening, miraculously, all the uneasiness and anxiety in Fang Qingli''s heart were calmed down. She raised her head and said, "The person is here, but before handing over the person, didn''t the MN Group say anything about the kidnapping incident? "


    "Miss Fang, although you seem to have been in charge of the family for a long time, unfortunately, you still have too little experience in the provincial capital, and you don''t know how difficult it is to survive in the Global Center." Cyril shrugged, "This time it is indeed the case. We are wrong, but even without us, there are still others watching you, and you can fight back, which we did not expect. "


    Fang Qingli sneered.


    This face was indeed what Ye Turning had expected.


    Cyril continued: "I wonder what conditions Miss Fang''s boss proposed?"


    "The boss said that we want to take the person back. Yes, there are two requirements." Fang Qingli followed Ye Turnlan''s instructions and said word by word, "First, the Seles brand under the MN Group must Apologize to the world for insulting China four years ago.”


    This first condition has already caused the senior executives of MN Group to change their expressions slightly.


    It would be more uncomfortable to ask these proud people to lower their heads and apologize to China in front of everyone than to kill them.


    Some people couldn''t help but argue: "It was all four years ago. What should have been forgotten has long been forgotten, and -"


    Cyril raised his hand and waved to stop his next words: "Okay, we accept this first condition."


    "The boss said that you always like to go back on your word, so I need you to issue an apology announcement now." Fang Qingli said calmly, "Not only on China''s social media platform, but the most important thing is the Global Center."


    These foreign brands are accustomed to saying one thing on the outside and another behind the scenes. Some apology statements are only limited to mainland China, but in fact there is no apology at all.


    Obviously, the public apology was also unacceptable to Cyril.


    But he had to accept it in order to save Brad Carter''s life.


    Cyril said coldly: "What about the second condition?"


    Ye Banglan clasped his hands and watched the movements of everyone on the screen, accurately capturing the trembling of every muscle on Cyril''s face.


    The world is a chess game, and all living beings are running around on this huge chess board.


    She wants to be the only chess player.


    "Tell him—" (End of Chapter)
