More than an hour later, a dusty Bentley stopped at the entrance of the Sofitel Paris Hotel.
This five-star hotel was located near the Madeleine Cathedral and Place de Concorde. Amidst the magnificent lights and retro architecture, it created an eye-catching and beautiful scenery. It was like a huge sculpture.
Two Caucasian waiters were standing at the entrance with their heads held high. When they saw the Bentley driving in, they first put on a standard smile, but then their expressions turned blank. It was because the scratches on the car, as well as the dirt and dust on the car, were really puzzling. The waiters couldn't help but look at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
This kind of luxury car wasn't rare outside the Sofitel Paris Hotel, but it was rare to see such an unkempt luxury car, as if it had just left the country road.
However, before the two waiters could open the door for the owner of the car, a group of more than ten men and women in formal attire suddenly rushed out of the hotel. They ran to the middle of the Bentley and opened the door in the middle compartment.
"Director Gu, you're finally back!" The man leading the group looked touched. He bent his waist and almost wiped away his tears.
Goodman, who had tidied up his white suit, had returned to his usual elegant demeanor. He nodded in a dignified manner. As he got off the car, he turned around and made a 'please' gesture to the Stern siblings in the car.
"Is that General Lin?"
"God bless us. General Lin has returned safely?!"
The group of people chatted happily. Little did they know that a handsome man and a beautiful woman had gotten out of the car.
"Hi," Stern greeted the group of people with a bright smile. He hugged his sister, Alice, and accepted the group's welcome without hesitation.
"Director Gu … These two are …" Someone looked at Goodman in confusion.
Goodman coughed twice and said, "These two are Mr. Stern and Miss Alice from the Cromwell Family, the Lord Protector of England. I was kidnapped by bandits this time and was lucky enough to escape with them. They happened to be staying in this hotel during the fashion week, so we came back together. "
Cromwell family?!
Those present were all senior executives of the European branch of Yu Lei International, and most of them were European natives. Naturally, they had heard of such an ancient and wealthy family, so they couldn't help but bow and greet them. They were even a little confused, as they wouldn't be able to meet such a person on a normal day.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that they were originally waiting to welcome the number one person in the company, the CEO Lin Ruoxi. That was why they had specially gathered together and waited in the hotel.
Unexpectedly, not only did the CEO not pick up the call, but he also lost contact with Goodman. Two hours ago, he received a call from Goodman saying that he had been kidnapped and had just escaped. The group of people hurriedly gathered in the hotel again, which led to the scene of them leaving in a hurry.
The doors of the Bentley's driver's seat and front passenger's seat opened at the same time. Yang Cheng alighted from the car and took a deep breath of the fresh Paris night air before stretching his body.
As for Lin Ruoxi, she was a little sleepy in the car and had just tidied up her appearance. Now that she alighted from the car, she still looked a little sleepy and innocent. Her cheeks were a little flushed, and coupled with her beautiful and aloof appearance, coupled with her black silk dress, she looked like a dark elf from a western fantasy story. The beautiful scene immediately made the group of people outside the hotel hold their breaths. Even the tourists who happened to pass by the hotel stopped to admire her for a moment.
Seeing a group of people blocking the car and staring at her in a daze, Lin Ruoxi immediately understood that they were her company's European subordinates. Seeing them in such a daze, she naturally felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but frown.
Seeing Lin Ruoxi alight, Goodman quickly squeezed through the crowd and shouted, "Spread out, spread out! Don't block General Lin! Do you hear me?! "
Hearing the reprimand, the group of executives suddenly came to a realization. Isn't this the CEO that we only see in photos and videos?! Why is she even more beautiful in real life than in photos?!
"Hello, General Lin!" The group of people immediately spread out and made way for Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath and opened her eyes again. Her original languid demeanor was nowhere to be seen. It was as if she had returned to the headquarters of Yu Lei International. She glanced at the crowd, and the imposing aura that she had accumulated over the years made everyone's heart tremble.
"I don't know how you usually work, but based on your performance just now, I can fire all of you without any hesitation." Lin Ruoxi said calmly, "You are the managers. Don't make me think that you should be the ones being managed."
The group of people broke out in cold sweat. Although Lin Ruoxi's words didn't contain any anger, it was these emotionless words that made them feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
"Ruoxi, don't be angry. I think these people are too excited. After all, it's rare for you to come to Europe. We don't get to see each other usually, and many of them are your admirers. Of course they are excited. Speaking of which, they are also worried about us. Let's forget about it this time! "Goodman tried to smooth things over.
Lin Ruoxi didn't say much. She directly passed through the crowd and entered the hotel.
Goodman heaved a sigh of relief and glared at his subordinates. Then, he smiled at the Stern siblings and said, "Your servants should be in the hotel now, right? I wonder where they are now. Do you need me to inform them?"
"Servants?" Stern laughed. "Mr. Goodman, we don't have such a grand entrance. This time, it's only the two of us on this trip to Paris. We didn't bring anyone else."
Goodman was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears.
However, the Stern siblings didn't intend to explain much. They directly followed behind Lin Ruoxi and entered the hotel.
Just as Yang Cheng, who was yawning and planning to return to the hotel to rest, was about to enter, he was stopped by a staff member of Yu Lei International.
"You're the driver, right? Go and park the car. Do you want us to park the car?" the staff member ordered.
Yang Cheng scratched his head helplessly. He didn't intend to explain anything. It wasn't a big deal to stop the car.
However, before Yang Cheng could turn around, the staff member's head was hit by Goodman. The staff member scolded, "Are you a pig?! This is Director Yang who accompanied General Lin. Didn't you see who was accompanying General Lin?! Quickly apologize to Director Yang! "
This reprimand stunned the group of Yu Lei's executives once again. In fact, no one noticed Yang Cheng at all. Compared to the handsome Stern siblings and Lin Ruoxi's stunning appearance, Yang Cheng was too suitable for the title of 'driver'. Who would have thought that such a vulgar, average looking, and lazy man would be a director on the same level as Goodman?!
"Sigh, sister-in-law, forget it. He doesn't know me." Yang Cheng smiled and patted Goodman's shoulder. He then stuffed the car key into Goodman's hand. "Since you're so polite, I'll leave the car to you. I'll go in first."
Goodman nodded with a flattering smile. "No problem. Director Yang, just let me know if you need anything. Just treat this as your home."
"Wow, your attitude has become much better. No wonder Ruoxi made you the director here. You're indeed smart." Yang Cheng, of course, knew the reason why Goodman was so flattering. After all, he had personally experienced a life-and-death situation. He clearly knew that Yang Cheng had killed a group of black-clothed men.
Goodman felt guilty. Whenever he thought about how the man in front of him had single-handedly killed a group of ferocious kidnappers, he couldn't bring himself to disobey. He could only bow and nod.
The group of Yu Lei's executives were dumbfounded. They couldn't understand at all. Even if Yang Cheng was a director on the same level as Goodman, why would Goodman humble himself and even be called 'sister-in-law'?
Could it be that even in the company, there was a difference in treatment between 'officials from the capital' and 'local officials'?
Just as Yang Chen was about to walk into the hotel, the sound of police sirens could be heard not far from the hotel. Furthermore, three police cars were heading towards the direction of the hotel!
