Chapter 592
: Stunned! The world is a chessboard! [2 more]
Before he came, Ye Wanlan had already added an extra chair next to her, and Darian sat down with a snap.
As soon as he sat down, Darien started to complain: "Alas, Y... Sister 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. They are too disgusting!"
When he is busy, he would rather drink nutritional supplements to prolong his life than touch those hard-to-swallow foods.
During the years he studied at Shenzhou University, he had already developed a picky appetite for Shenzhou's delicious food.
"Sister Lan really understands me. I love barbecue the most." Darien rolled up his sleeves and picked up a skewer of barbecue without any hesitation. "It's delicious. Really delicious."
"..."
He was the only one at the table who could hear the sound of chewing food. Everyone else seemed to have turned into stone sculptures, and even time had stopped.
The director always felt that he was in a trance because he met too many bad people today.
Otherwise, how could he meet Darien Stewart, the youngest vice president of the World Cultural Heritage Center, here?
He must be hallucinating!
The director couldn't help but shudder. He turned his head tremblingly and said, "Lao, Lao Liu, give me a slap and let me see if I'm dreaming."
However, producer Liu was also stunned, staring blankly at Darian who was eating with relish.
dream.
He is dreaming.
After Darien finished a plate of barbecue, he found that everyone was not moving, just staring at him, which made him feel a little creepy.
He rubbed his arms and said, "Huh? Aren't you all hungry? Come on, eat. We're one family, you're welcome."
With just one sentence, the director and others were finally brought back from their distracted state.
But the three words "our own people" shocked the director and others again.
But they saw how servile Andrew Carr was after Darian showed up at the party.
Darien was confused and could only turn to Ye Wanlan for help: "What's going on with them?"
"You scared them." Ye Wanlan raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Birds of a feather flock together. We all like to scare people."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Darien was choked. "Sister Lan, you can't scold yourself as well."
"Director, Producer Liu, this is Darian Stewart, the vice president of the World Cultural Heritage Center." Ye Wanlan nodded and said, "He is also my lifelong friend. We are one family, so there is no need to be reserved."
The director finally couldn't help but gasp: "Mr. Darien, hello... hello!"
"Director of 'Collection of Shenzhou', I've heard of you." Darian shook his hand. "Your directing ability is very strong. I am looking forward to the release of the film on August 1st."
The director almost fainted from happiness.
Producer Liu gave him a disdainful look: "Virtue!"
But when it was his turn to shake Darian's hand, he also felt very happy.
The director thought that Ye Wanlan actually knew such a person, but she never mentioned it before. She was too low-key.
If it were someone else, they would have shouted, "Vice President Darian and I are good friends, what do you want?"
This kind of mentality really makes even an old man like him admire it.
Soon, under Ye Wanlan's adjustment, the atmosphere became lively again.
"Don't pay attention to that idiot Andrew. He only seeks to gain a sense of existence by taking advantage of others every day." Darien snorted coldly, "I will deal with him properly when I go back for what happened today."
The look you give Ye Wanlan shows that you look down on him, and he will hold a grudge!
"Drink, drink." After saying that, Darien said, "When I have time, I will definitely visit your Shenzhou."
"No problem!" The director's expression brightened. "Just come on, I'll be your tour guide."
Darien smiled and said, "Then I can wait to see the beauty of the Shenzhou Continent."

The two-day global ceremony ended successfully. Of course, this was also due to the fact that MN Group contacted various forces and did not allow them to take action against Wantianqing Company.
Even though the MN Group deliberately suppressed the news of Brad Carter's kidnapping, his absence from the Global Gala has already caused a lot of controversy. [Why didn't we see Brad Carter at this year's Global Gala? Was he fired by the MN Group? ]
[Impossible, absolutely impossible. If MN Group fires Brad, Jiatika and Freya Yinnid will definitely hire him at a high price. Then the fashion industry will inevitably make a big move.]
[Uh, gossip says that the reason Brad Carter didn't attend is because he's missing. I don't know who kidnapped him. MN Group is preparing a reward.]
[What?! I remember Brad had a strong security system. How could he be kidnapped?]
[Hiss… If Brad were gone, the fashion world would be turned upside down.]
As soon as the global ceremony ended, Fang Qingli, at the suggestion of Ye Wanlan, made an appointment with MN Group for a negotiation location.
This place is very close to the Jidao Headquarters, right under the Jidao's nose.
In addition to Fang Qingli, two other senior executives of Wantianqing Company were also present.
After the chairman of MN Group entered the room, he glanced around and asked politely, "Is the lady I was talking to on the phone?"
"The lady you were talking to?" Fang Qingli was a little surprised. "Mr. Cyril only heard her voice but never saw her face. How can you be sure that she is not here?"
The full name of the chairman of the MN Group is Cyril Mitchell. When he was young, he was also a rare handsome man in the Global Center, otherwise he would not have been able to succeed the huge fashion empire of the MN Group.
Cyril smiled faintly: "Although I only heard the voice, I could tell from the voice that this lady has a dragon hidden in her bones. The sound she made was awe-inspiring, so I knew she was not here at a glance."
After a pause, he smiled again: "Of course, Miss Fang, you three ladies are also outstanding."
Fang Qingli's heart trembled slightly. She pretended to lift her hair, but actually tapped the earphone with her finger.
"I heard it." Ye Wanlan's voice came out clearly from the headset, and she also smiled, "He is an old fox in the business world. If he doesn't even have this kind of vision, he is not qualified to succeed the position of chairman of MN Group. Don't be nervous, just do as I say."
After hearing this, miraculously, all of Fang Qingli's uneasiness and anxiety were soothed. She raised her head and said, "The person is here, but before we hand him over, does MN Group have any comment on this kidnapping incident?"
"Ms. Fang, although you seem to have been in charge for a long time, unfortunately, you still have too little experience in the provincial capital, and you don't know how difficult it is for the Global Center to survive." Cyril shrugged and said, "It is true that we were wrong this time, but even if we weren't there, there would be other people watching you. We didn't expect you to fight back."
Fang Qingli sneered.
This expression was exactly what Ye Wanlan had expected.
Cyril continued, "I wonder what conditions Miss Fang's boss proposed?"
"The boss said that we need to bring the person back. Okay, but there are two requirements." Fang Qingli followed Ye Wanlan's instructions and spoke word by word, "First, the Cyrus brand under the MN Group must apologize for insulting Shenzhou four years ago and make it public worldwide."
This first condition has already caused the senior executives of MN Group to change color slightly.
Forcing these arrogant people to bow their heads and apologize to Shenzhou in public is more painful than killing them.
Someone couldn't help but argue: "It happened four years ago. We should have forgotten it long ago. And yet——"
Cyril raised his hand and waved it to stop him from saying the next thing: "Okay, we accept this first condition."
"The boss said that you guys always like to go back on your words, so you need to issue an apology announcement now." Fang Qingli said lightly, "Not only on Shenzhou's social media platform, but most importantly on the Global Center."
These foreign brands are accustomed to saying one thing in public and another in private. Some of their apology statements are just about mainland China only, and there is actually no apology at all.
Apparently, the public apology was also a little hard for Cyril to accept.
But he had to accept it in order to save Brad Carter's life.
Cyril said coldly: "What about the second condition?"
Ye Wanlan clasped his hands together, watching the movements of everyone on the screen, accurately capturing the trembling of every inch of muscle on Cyril's face.
The world is a chess piece, and all living beings are running around on this huge chessboard.
She wants to be the only chess player.
"Tell him——" (End of this chapter)
