Chapter 910 Who Is More Promising at a Young Age?
When six o'clock came, Shi Lei finally saw the target mission that Heika had given him this time.
Mr Scola, Mayor of London.
Scola is his last name, and his first name is Crawford. He is in his early fifties, which is when it is possible to go further.
Although he is in his early fifties, Crawford has maintained a very good figure. He does not have the belly that Westerners are accustomed to at this age. He looks very flat when wearing formal clothes.
The shoulders are very broad, and Bao Buqi was also an athlete when he was young.
It can be seen that he and Jenny are quite similar, and Jenny has inherited more of the appearance characteristics of the Scola family.
When Crawford came back, it was the butler who accompanied him through the door.
After entering, Crawford took off his windbreaker outside his formal attire and greeted everyone with a smile. When he saw Shi Lei and Zhao Di, whom he didn't know, he was still very polite.
When Crawford shook hands with Shi Lei, his eyes hidden behind the glasses on his face were observing Shi Lei, and Shi Lei was also observing the target of his mission.
Although his attitude was always polite and the glasses on his face hid his gaze well, Shi Lei saw through his glasses the sharp eyes of Crawford hidden behind the glasses.
But when he was chatting with others, his eyes seemed much softer.
Shi Lei understood that this was probably because Crawford had learned of his existence in advance, probably because of Jenny. Crawford must have secretly investigated Shi Lei. Of course, his investigation of Shi Lei could only remain on the surface.
It is not difficult to investigate Shi Lei. You can get a lot of information by searching the Internet using this name. At least, regarding Qixuan and the flash mob, these are all information at your fingertips.
"Mr. Shi is young and promising," Crawford said after letting go.
Shi Lei smiled and said: "It's just good luck. Mr. Scola is the real young and promising man. He joined the management of Ocean Company at the age of twenty-five and was promoted to the general manager of Ocean Company's Indian branch at the age of thirty. , but because he didn’t want to leave his hometown, he turned to politics and became the mayor of London in his forties. The position of leader of the Labor Party next year must be yours. The next step will depend on the Labor Party’s performance in the next parliamentary election. , can it win the majority of seats?”
Crawford was slightly stunned, but didn't say anything more. He smiled and said, "I'll go up and change my clothes first, and I'll entertain you all later."
Everyone watched Crawford go upstairs, but Li Qianhaocheng walked up to Shi Lei, still looking at him with his chin, and said, "You are so young, what are you doing?"
Shi Lei smiled and said: "Compared with the money you can spend to get into the London School of Economics and Political Science without any effort at the age of sixteen, of course you are younger and more promising."
I thought that a flamboyant guy like Li Qianhaocheng would be complacent about this compliment and even brag a little about himself, but unexpectedly, Li Qianhaocheng waved his hand and said, "Exams are nothing but tricks, and we Chinese people are. The nation that is best at taking exams, if the UK dared to open all universities to Chinese people and allow selective admissions, there would probably not be many British people in British universities. I'm not asking about you studying, what do you do? Industry?”
Shi Lei frowned and said, "Internet."
Li Qianhaocheng was very dissatisfied with this answer. Just when he was about to say something more, Jenny came over in a hurry and even took the initiative to hold Shi Lei's arm and said, "Shi, my grandfather is coming over. Please accompany me to greet him." Is he okay?"
Shi Lei just happened to get away from Li Qianhaocheng. Although he was not used to Jenny holding his arm so intimately, he still nodded and said: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
Li Qianhaocheng was very dissatisfied and suddenly burst out: "How can you let an outsider go to welcome the Duke? I should accompany you Jenny."
Jenny didn't even look at him, she just said: "Anyway, no matter who goes to greet grandfather, you will follow. Just like in previous years, you just keep following." After that, she held Shi Lei's arm tightly and said, "Shi Lei ,let's go."
"Just welcome Grandpa Duke. What do you mean by holding your arm with him? Jenny, Jenny..."
Seeing that Shi Lei and Jenny were already walking towards the stairs at the back, Li Qianhaocheng became anxious and shouted from behind, but Jenny and Shi Lei ignored them, and he hurriedly followed.
"Hey, Shi... Shi Lei, right? What do you mean? Are you trying to steal your girlfriend from me?" Li Qianhaocheng asked Shi Lei anxiously after catching up with Shi Lei and Jenny.
Shi Lei turned around and just smiled at him without saying a word.
But Jenny said coquettishly: "Shi is my good friend, don't talk nonsense about money. Besides, you and I are just friends, don't always be so self-indulgent. Even if I like Shi, it has nothing to do with you."
Li Qianhaocheng became even more irritable because of these words, but the three of them had already walked up the stairs and turned the corner. They saw the current head of the Scola family in front of them. Duke Scola was walking away with the help of a maid. come over.
In any case, facing the eighty-year-old Duke, Li Qianhaocheng did not dare to be too presumptuous. He just glared at Shi Lei fiercely, meaning that he would settle the score with you later.
Then, he stretched his arms and trotted all the way, rushing towards Duke Scola in an extremely grand manner, shouting loudly: "Grandpa Duke, I really miss you!"
Duke Scola was hugged by Li Qianhaocheng. It can be seen that he was a little embarrassed. He was so old and was a duke. Even if the duke was just a title in today's society, how could he adapt to Li Qianhaocheng's exaggerated behavior?
After waiting for Li Qianhaocheng to let go of him, Duke Scola smiled bitterly and said, "Qian, why can't you grow up forever? My old bones can't stand your hug like this."
"Grandpa Duke, what are you talking about? You are in good health. I think you can play a game of polo without any problem."
"Haha, you little guy, I can't even get on the horse now. Polo is an activity for you young people. Okay, I'll meet the young people brought back by Jenny."
Li Qianhaocheng was very dissatisfied, but he could only get out of the way. Jenny immediately dragged Shi Lei forward and said with a smile on her face, "Grandpa, Merry Christmas."
Duke Scola nodded, his face full of smile lines. It seems that he dotes on his granddaughter extremely.
Shi Lei also said quickly: "Respected Duke, I wish you a happy Christmas."
"You are the Shi that Jenny mentioned, right? Yes, you are really handsome. No wonder Jenny is attracted to you."
"Grandfather, what are you talking about? I don't..." Although Jenny had confessed to Shi Lei yesterday and today, she was still very shy in front of her grandfather.
Shi Lei didn't expect that the first sentence Duke Scola said when he saw him would be this. He couldn't help but feel that this old man was a little disrespectful and actually joked with his granddaughter.
But no matter what, he felt embarrassed.
Duke Scola laughed and said, "You still say no? Look at you, you have been holding Shi's arm, and you are reluctant to let go when you see grandpa."
Jenny quickly let go of her hand, but realized that this was a cover-up, so she took it back again.
"I like Shi, and I confessed to him, but he rejected me. Shi is a real gentleman, grandpa, you are not allowed to say these things anymore."
