Chapter 74 Noble Invitation Umbrella

During the two days in Paris, Zhou Yi spent most of his time with his family and Ororo and their two female friends.

He accompanied these people who had a very important position in his life, and browsed the streets and alleys of Paris and various scenic spots in the past two days.

It is difficult for Zhou Yi, who has the opportunity to accompany his family and girlfriend, to make up for what he owes them as much as possible in the past two days. Over the years, he has been preparing for future enemies. Although he created a very favorable environment for his family, he also paid a certain price. He really doesn't have much time with his family.

And for the two female friends, Ororo and Qingre, Zhou Yi actually had some guilt in his heart. Because of the difference in their identities, Zhou Yi was basically unable to take them to some formal high-profile banquets. Not to mention having an official status.

Ororo also knew this. Therefore, 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 knew that her identity was not helpful to Zhou Yi's career, but a hindrance.

She is a smart and self-improving woman, and she is not willing to become a vassal of Zhou Yi. So this kind of unequal status once made her alienated from Zhou Yi. If it wasn't for Zhou Yi's persistence, it would have been very difficult for them to get to where they are now.

As for Jean Grey, her identity is even more embarrassing. He and Zhou Yi's stealing situation has always been Zhou Yi 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 a little bit bored.

It wasn't that Qin Grey didn't think about occupying the most important position beside Zhou Yi. It's just that her deep guilt for Ororo and Scott prevented her from taking any action. For this reason, she could only let Zhou Yishi act. Also because of this, she was able to share more of her guilt on Zhou Yi.

The relationship between men and women is so complicated that Zhou Yi can't put it down. He enjoyed this feeling very much, but he was even more reluctant to let them go. He didn't give them much all the time, but he wanted to give them the best.

Like his plan, and in some ways for them. Because this is their lifelong wish to walk in the sunshine openly.

Another fun game. Zhou Yi returned from the famous Louvre with two beauties, his clingy sister and a group of his followers. For the appreciation of works of art, Jean Grey is one of the connoisseurs. But even people like Ororo and Sharis who don't have any artistic skills will praise these art treasures 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.

Seeing that Sharis and her little sisters were still chattering about ancient legends from Egypt, Ororo was still asking Chingray about the identification and classification of gorgeous Chinese porcelain. Zhou Yi stretched his waist comfortably. If possible, he really hoped that such time could stop. However, such a desire is basically impossible to achieve.

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 old accent.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I am the steward of the Asifford family. I heard that you are coming to Paris. My host is very happy and hopes to invite you to the banquet at the Assyford Manor tomorrow night!"

"The Asifford family, I remember that you are old-fashioned nobles in England, how come you came to Paris." Zhou Yi was not too impressed with the Assyford family, but it was still somewhat. It was a big family that originated in England, and the Victorian period even had a glorious time.

But after that, the population gradually withered away.

The previous owner of the Asifford family was a genius in biology, and he partnered with several like-minded people to open a huge multinational pharmaceutical company. And little by little, the company has grown to a huge scale.

The 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 once extended its tentacles to the United States on the other side of the ocean.

But America's native industry is very resistant to this foreign adversary. So far, the company's tentacles have only stayed in the remote areas of the Midwest, unable to set foot in the core areas occupied by Stark Industries and Osborn Industries.

With the growth of the Umbrella company, the Asifford family gradually declined. The owner of the previous generation disappeared for no reason, and the owner of this generation, Alfred. Yassie Ford has seen Zhou Yi, and he is a poor bastard who is overwhelmed by the current ruler of Umbrella Corporation. Although the outside world has always boasted that his IQ level is the top level of human beings, Zhou Yi does not think it is of any use. You must know that this world is not a world that can be played with high IQ.

However, no matter how declining nobles are, they are also nobles, and the power of the Asifford family cannot be underestimated. Zhou Yi didn't want to offend such local bigwigs for no reason. That would not be a good thing for his mother who stayed in Europe all the year round. So Zhou Yi just nodded and said after a little doubt.

"I understand, tell Mr. Alfred for me, thank him for his invitation, and I will be there on time."

Leaving the invitation, Mr. Butler, who was very gentlemanly, bowed and left. And when he left, someone asked questions.

"Is it someone you know?"

Seeing that Ororo was speaking, Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head.

"It's just acquaintances, but even people who don't know each other in the business field can make them bow their heads and invite them as long as they have interests! It seems that Alfred or the Umbrella company behind him needs my help. "

"The largest medical company in Europe? What are they looking for from you?" asked Jean Grey, who had heard of 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 is something wrong with their industrial chain." Shrugging, Zhou Yi said that he did not understand the situation. "It is estimated that they took a fancy to the liquidity in my hand."

"You have to be careful, I always think they have nothing good to do with you?" Ororo was a little worried. She didn't know the purpose of these so-called businessmen, but the nature of women made her feel that there must be some conspiracy.

"Ororo, don't pay attention to these people." Qingrei held Ororo and said sarcastically. She didn't want her friends to be exposed to these dark things too much. So I can only digress the topic. "These people are like sharks, they will swim over immediately if they smell a little fishy smell."

"That's right!" He directly agreed with Qinglei's statement, and Zhou Yi calmly admitted her title. "We are indeed sharks, otherwise how can we be at the top of the marine life chain."

"Sharks are ferocious creatures that even their species will not let go of!" Ororo warned, she has always been somewhat critical of these large companies that study creatures. Because many of them have more or less experimented with mutants in their shady industries.

"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 involved in."

Although his words are a bit exaggerated, they are not too out of touch with reality. The Yassie Ford family has left the core layer of Umbrella Corporation since the previous generation, and is only responsible for some of the peripheral research work and departments. And in Alfred's generation, even these things can't be kept. Except for a research laboratory in Antarctica, he only has partial powers of the Umbrella security department.

Such a family of Yassie Ford did not shake Zhou Yi's power. After all, Zhou Yi was the core executive of the two giant enterprises. And the strength of these two companies is even higher than that of Umbrella.

Rolling a glance at Zhou Yi, Ororo stopped worrying about him in such a place. After all, she and him still have some gaps, and this distance limits her from being able to take on everything with him.

With a slight smile, Zhou Yi squeezed Qin Grey quietly with his hand under the table, Qin Grey trembled in fright, and quickly broke free from his palm. Taking advantage of Ororo's inattentiveness, he glared at him angrily.

Zhou Yi, whose face was already thick to a certain extent, directly ignored the attack from Qin Grey's eyes. As if nothing had happened, he raised his chin and said to the two ladies.

"Tomorrow's banquet. Ororo, would you like to be my female companion and accompany me to the banquet?"

Ororo thought for a while, then shook his head silently.

"Sorry, Yi! You know, I'm not suitable for this occasion. So you'd better find someone to accompany you."

Zhou Yi just turned his attention to Qin Grey, and the woman who had been frightened by Zhou Yi's little actions just said bluntly.

"Don't even think about it, I won't be your girlfriend to attend this kind of party."

"Okay!" Zhou Yi shrugged. "It looks like I'll have to be alone at the Asifford party tomorrow."

"Yi, let me accompany you. I haven't seen what a noble party's banquet looks like?" Xia Ruisi, who had been listening to Zhou Yi's side at the other table with her ears on, leaned her head over and flattered her. Zhou Yi said.

Zhou Yi held down the beret on her head, squinted and said, "Unless I'm dead, my dear. Otherwise, you can't have anything to do with this kind of messy banquet before you turn eighteen."

"Why not?" Sharis waved her fist angrily. "You nasty guy, don't think that you can deprive me of my freedom by being my brother."

"When you asked for pocket money from me, you paid the price with your freedom. My dear sister." Zhou Yi refuted the value of freedom in disdain. "Do you think there is anything good in this kind of aristocracy? Let me tell you. Half of the aristocrats today are gay, and most of them are of the male type. The rest are not as good as these true love patients. Why? , Are you satisfied with what I say?"

"It's disgusting, you bastard." Sharis said with a wave of disgust. "I'm still eating dessert, can I stop talking about such a nauseating thing."

"You hit the gun yourself. My dear!"

She stuffed a large piece of cake into her mouth, and there was a quirky look in Xia Ruisi's green eyes.

"Don't think you can scare me like this, I have a big backstage." Unfortunately, what she said was too vague, and Zhou Yi didn't understand what she was talking about.
