Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 985 The Shocking Change in Paris

Paris International Hotel.

After high-ranking officials from Paris explained the situation to the dignitaries from various countries staying at the Paris International Hotel and left with heavily armed special police, the hotel finally regained some peace.

Back in his room, Qi Tongwei immediately summoned several deputy regimental commanders to arrange the next steps.

"Given the current situation in Paris, I have decided to end my remaining inspection tour in Paris and head to my next destination."

All the deputy commanders raised their hands in agreement.

They were both frightened and relieved.

Who would have thought the Japanese would be so insane as to dare to assassinate a high-ranking Parisian official?

Just a few days ago they were drinking with Japanese people.

If the other party really was concerned about the German order, then they were practically dancing on a knife's edge at the time.

Fortunately, the Japanese didn't take action at the time, otherwise countless people would have died under their guns.

Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Everyone wants to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible, so they naturally support Qi Tongwei's proposal.

After discussing the specific evacuation plan, Qi Tongwei came to Liang Lu's room under the pretext of communicating with Shengtian Group.

Liang Lu was still in shock when she saw Qi Tongwei come in. She immediately rushed over to him, her eyes glistening with tears.

What kind of multinational corporation chairman?

Capitalists and the powerful are no different from ordinary people when they are under the gun.

When a group of heavily armed special police officers took control of the hotel, Liang Lu was already in a panic.

Qi Tongwei patted Liang Lu on the back and comforted her, "Don't worry, everything's fine now. I've already made the arrangements, and we'll set off for the Netherlands tomorrow."

With Qi Tongwei's reassurance, Liang Lu gradually calmed down and said with lingering fear:

"Tongwei, thankfully they didn't make a move at the social gathering a few days ago, otherwise, with you so close to them, I can't even imagine what might have happened." He then blamed himself, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have reminded you to go to the social gathering with them."

Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "Don't worry, even if they had the chance to make a move back then, they wouldn't have."

Don't forget, today's China is no longer the China that was bullied and humiliated sixty or seventy years ago.

That single punch from the seventeen nations demonstrated the spirit of the new China; the Japanese would absolutely not dare to retaliate.

"Don't be so confident. They dared to kill the mayor of Paris, so why wouldn't they dare to kill you? What wouldn't a madman do?"

Qi Tongwei simply smiled and did not offer any further explanation.

He couldn't tell the other party that he had orchestrated the whole thing.

"I'm perfectly fine now. It's all over, so let's not dwell on it. The most important thing for us now is to get out of here as soon as possible."

With something this big happening, the situation in France could be very serious; martial law might even be declared. Staying here won't be very beneficial for us.”

Liang Lu agreed wholeheartedly and left Qi Tongwei's embrace, saying, "I'll call my secretary right now and have her arrange the evacuation."

Qi Tongwei nodded, and while Liang Lu was on the phone, he picked up the remote control and browsed the news from Europe.

Unsurprisingly, multiple European channels are broadcasting news of the Japanese assassination attempt on French Mayor Thierry Tiberi.

This news immediately overshadowed the buzz surrounding Tian Fengyi's alleged prostitution.

To be precise, nobody cares about this tabloid news anymore.

The discussion has turned to whether France and Japan will go to war.

Once the idea of ​​war came up, people stopped thinking about entertainment and started thinking about survival.

After all, life is more important than anything else.

After making the phone call, Liang Lu seemed still unsettled by the incident, muttering to herself as she watched the news.

"Tongwei, what are these Japanese people thinking? How dare they be so bold? Huh?"

To accuse us of something is a joke. Unless they can kill everyone in the Paris City Hall, the truth will eventually come out.

Furthermore, these Frenchmen are also problematic; how could they allow Japanese men to bring guns in? Security was practically non-existent.

Qi Tongwei, preoccupied with the news, said absentmindedly, "The audacity of the Japanese is not uncommon. Back then, when they stirred up trouble on Chinese soil, wasn't that also a form of audacity?"

As for why the Japanese had guns, it's highly likely that someone colluded with them from within, providing them with the weapons.

Liang Lu said, "The boldness I'm talking about is different from before. Back then, China was weak..."

"What's the difference? Anyway, France certainly doesn't have the capability to wage war against Japan. Why not be bolder? What if we succeed?"

Of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, France is at the bottom, though it may be a major military power in Europe.

However, launching a long-range war against a country with military strength roughly equivalent to France's is absolutely impossible.

Liang Lu punched Qi Tongwei lightly with her fist. "I'm serious. Can you stop just giving me the runaround?"

Qi Tongwei said, "Whatever the reason, as long as the situation is favorable to us now, that's fine."

With this incident out, Tian Fengyi's scandalous news will definitely be overshadowed, and we won't have to worry about it anymore.

Liang Lu thought for a moment, "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?" Then she remembered something else: "Hey, how did your chat with that Liu... Liu Wan go last night?"

“I didn’t go. I asked her out last night, but she said she was busy and told me to wait,” Qi Tongwei said helplessly.

He knew that Liu Wan wouldn't be so easy to deal with.

"So, shouldn't you go see her today? You're leaving tomorrow."

"We should go see her." Qi Tongwei nodded, glancing at the time: four in the afternoon.

He called Liu Wan and explained the situation.

Liu Wan had no attendants with her and was unaware of what had happened that morning.

Upon hearing that such a serious matter had occurred, they immediately realized that it was no longer advisable to stay in France.

"Okay, tonight it is. I'm almost jet-lagged."

-

Inside the "Fita" restaurant, candlelight flickered, and the air was filled with the enticing aroma of truffles and red wine.

The gentle piano music added a touch of romance to the scene.

A young couple sat by the window.

Qi Tongwei took the gold-embossed menu from the waiter, smiled slightly, and handed it to Liu Wan across from him: "President Liu, please."

Liu Wan didn't reach out to take it, but simply raised her eyes slightly, her lips curving into a slight smile, her voice cool and clear: "First, a serving of French blue lobster sashimi, caught in the Brittany waters that morning, served chilled, with freshly squeezed lime juice and caviar."

Gillardeau oysters, Marennes-Oléron region, size 9, three oysters, drizzled with a touch of aged balsamic vinegar and sprinkled with finely crushed ice.

"After the appetizer, serve a foie gras parfait, slow-roasted at a low temperature, accompanied by port wine sauce and roasted figs, and sourdough baguette slices baked until slightly crispy."

For the main course, I'd like the Alsatian beef stew from Koblenz, slow-cooked for twelve hours in aged Burgundy red wine, served with mashed potatoes with black truffles.

Additionally, add a serving of pan-fried Normandy langoustines, sealed in butter and served with a saffron cream sauce.

After skillfully ordering from the menu, Liu Wan looked up at Qi Tongwei and slightly raised her chin.

"So, Mayor Qi, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Qi Tongwei shook his head slightly, sensing that this time he was about to suffer a huge loss.

Sure enough, Liu Wan continued, "For wine, bring a bottle of 1990 Romanée-Conti, let it decan for two hours first. If that's not enough, open a bottle of Petrus from the right bank of Bordeaux."

"For dessert, I'll have a Mont Blanc, with the chestnut puree handmade and topped with icing sugar, paired with a pot of aged Oriental Beauty tea."

The waiter respectfully noted it down and quietly withdrew.
