Chapter 1114: A Trial
Heidi and a group of women were in the backyard, holding a similar party at home. BBQ was the eternal theme. They were sitting in different places under the corridor, eating barbecue and other meals prepared by the service company, holding a glass of wine, looking at the increasingly lively recreational area over there, and praising Vincent very appropriately.
But a lot of attention was actually focused on the men communicating in the house.
Situations like Ma Ling and Vincent are certainly not something to be praised, but they are indeed not rare in the United States.
If Feng Yiping is added, it can indeed be considered a good thing.
The United States is not like those old European countries, which still pay attention to bloodline and family background. The main force in the upper class here is the new rich, and this rich naturally refers to wealth.
People who are successful in their careers, no matter what their background is, can quickly be accepted by the mainstream British society. This is also a manifestation of the United States being more dynamic than European countries.
Feng Yiping, who has already ranked among the top 100 richest people in the world, has a good reputation in the academic world, and is so young. Needless to say, he is one of the most "rich" new rich in recent years.
The companies under his name seem to be developing very well, and the key is that the future prospects will be even broader.
Some of his recent moves in the business world have given many people who didn't know him before a very intuitive understanding of his abilities.
He is far-sighted, decisive, and has a tight rhythm... He is so mature that he doesn't look like a young man in his early twenties. The so-called genius is nothing more than that.
It is definitely not a problem to control his own company. In this way, his future growth is really limitless.
Although he and Ma Ling do not have a very clear relationship, he is at least not married, and it seems that he has a deep affection for this son and his son's mother. It is said that Orientals will pay special attention to their sons, so their future development is not unpredictable.
Several families with daughters of marriageable age may not be without a trace of envy. Under the premise that Feng Yiping's current dazzling achievements and a brighter future are sure to be more brilliant, many problems will not be a problem.
They will naturally not interfere with their daughters' choices, but if they can have a choice like Feng Yiping, it is obviously a very good choice, isn't it?
It's useless to think about that now. To be realistic, Ma Ling and her family are naturally a good resource. Otherwise, how could they attend the party held at home so enthusiastically?
Ma Ling, who spent most of her time accompanying Mei Jianzhong, naturally paid attention to the situation in the house.
Although she didn't have much expectation for the future, she was naturally very happy to see the improvement of the relationship between Feng Yiping and John, no matter what the future would be like.
She had met several of the friends invited by her father this time before. Is John showing off? Haha!
She saw that after hearing Feng Yiping's words, her father's friends and partners were very surprised. Well, she was not surprised at all.
She saw Feng Yiping following Owen to the front door. What's the matter?
…………
"Colombia? The embassy car?"
Feng Yiping associated Colombia with two things, one of which was beautiful women.
It seems that like India, this country is also a country where various beauty pageants are popular, and it has won many good results in international beauty pageants.
Another thing that came to mind was naturally the Colombian groups that were also well-known internationally and engaged in the same business as the original Golden Triangle.
So now, facing this person who was still smiling and walking towards him, but was not a beautiful woman, he really wanted to be frank. It should be that he didn't understand what he said yesterday, otherwise, how could he still keep such a smile today?
If he understood what he said and could still smile at himself, he would never be so cunning.
"This is a level problem," he said to Owen without thinking
When you face someone who doesn't even understand what you say to him, it's actually quite helpless.
"What?" Owen asked.
"Nothing,"
And, coming here in the embassy car, is this pressure?
Haha, but you are only Colombia, and this is the United States. Besides, you have immunity when you come in the embassy car?
"What's the matter?" Ma Ling's voice came over, and she immediately saw Pace, and the first sentence was, "How do you know I live here?"
"You didn't tell him the address?" Feng Yiping asked.
"Why should I tell him the address?" Ma Ling asked back.
As for the car behind with the national flag flying, Ma Ling didn't take it seriously at all. This is her home and her territory. When she is unhappy, she can still not welcome the owner of the White House not far away, not to mention the child of a foreign envoy.
Seeing that he might be regarded as a malicious stalker, Pace, who knew that this was a powerful one, hurriedly explained, "This place is so close to the school, and many classmates know that you live here."
Ma Ling thought about it and it was true. There are many alumni renting nearby, and some professors from some schools also live in this area.
"We don't welcome outsiders today," Ma Ling said.
Even if Pace didn't follow her, her impression of him at this time has reached a low point.
"After all, I came to celebrate my son's birthday," Feng Yiping pushed Ma Ling, who was blocking the door, aside, "I have to let him come in and eat a piece of cake before leaving. You go and look after my son, and I'll take care of it,"
"Then leave it to you," Ma Ling kissed Feng Yiping on the face.
Feeling that there was no room for maneuver, Pace came over, but Feng Yiping stood at the door and stretched out his hand to him, "What's your name?"
"You can call me Pace,"
"Hello, Pace, please come in," Feng Yiping did not introduce his name.
"This is my gift for Vincent," Pace was also very cold to Feng Yiping.
"Thank you, just put it here," Feng Yiping pointed casually to the front hall.
Pace looked and saw that the boxes of all sizes there were almost piled up into a small mountain. Didn't he say that he didn't invite any friends?
"Do you work at the Colombian Embassy?" Feng Yiping asked.
"My father works at the Colombian Embassy," Pace straightened his back.
The next question should be what my father is responsible for at the embassy, right?
But he didn't wait for Feng Yiping's next question.
"Colombian Embassy, Pace who is studying at Georgetown University, Owen, remember? You ask Buchanan to contact Capitol Hill to deal with it,"
"Okay Feng,"
It's easy to keep him out, but that won't leave a deep impression.
Feng Yiping knew very well that to impress a person, nothing is more effective than stepping on the thing he is most proud of or relies on.
So, he said this deliberately in front of Pace.
Feng? Chinese? Contact Capitol Hill? Pace just thought it was a little funny, haha, then I'll wait.
I hope you can still laugh later, "Owen, take this Pace classmate to the backyard,"
"Oh, that Pace, this is my home. The people who came today are all very close friends, so I'm sorry to ask, you should know the basic etiquette of such occasions?"
"Sorry, the reason I ask this is mainly based on your uninvited visit. Is this straightforward enough? You understand what I mean,"
Since some words are too euphemistic and he may not understand, Feng Yiping can only speak more directly. He really doesn't want to have any farce in such an occasion, which is really a loss of face for himself.
Pace really has the urge to walk away, but when he thinks of Ma Ling, he immediately calms down.
Really, those who can't get it will always be restless. The more Ma Ling refused, the more interested he became.
Moreover, he thought that Ma Ling must not know Feng Yiping's true identity. She must have been deceived by this Feng, so she was so nice to him. As long as he revealed his identity, hum!
Feng Yiping could never have imagined that a person who was at most a developing country would have such a big prejudice against Chinese people.
So Pace disdained and didn't want to answer Feng Yiping's rude question. He raised his chin and nodded, "Which way is the backyard?"
"Please follow me," Owen said.
When passing the living room, Pace saw someone inside looking over here. They all looked like people of some status, but they seemed to be paying attention to this rude guy named Feng?
"Friends from school," Feng Yiping explained casually, and no one cared about this question immediately. "Feng, can you be more specific about the questions you just mentioned," Christopher asked.
"To be specific, for example, from the perspective of cost, the development of Internet technology has given us many ways to reduce costs, such as outsourcing some less critical work to other countries. I guess everyone here has already tried this,"
"So the Internet will continue to focus on cost in the future, but it will not be a simple outsourcing of some work to reduce costs. That is what I just said about process reengineering. It will completely change the operating model of some companies and will cut and merge many original business departments..."
Although Pace was also concerned about what Feng Yiping was talking about, he was more concerned about Ma Ling. Seeing that Ma Ling was taking care of an oriental old man, was this the family of the guy named Feng?
What clothes was he wearing?
Mei Jianzhong was never used to wearing western clothes, and he was still wearing a Zhongshan suit.
"Hi, Vincent," he greeted Vincent, who was already playing with those children, enthusiastically.
Vincent blinked, looking confused, obviously not remembering who he was.
…………
The Dupont Circle area, not far from Ma Ling’s home, is very close to the White House, about ten minutes’ walk away. Massachusetts Avenue passes through it, and the Connecticut River flows under it. It is one of the most fashionable and lively places in Washington DC.
Because of the geographical advantage, many of the celebrity mansions on Massachusetts Avenue have been purchased by many countries and renovated into embassies, and now it has become an embassy street.
One of the two-story buildings, built of red bricks and with a tall chimney on the roof, is the Colombian Embassy in the United States.
On the second floor of the embassy, the ambassador was presiding over a meeting. The secretary knocked on the door and walked in, "Ambassador, Capitol Hill is calling,"
"Who?" The ambassador immediately walked towards the office.
"Chairman Madison of the Western Hemisphere Affairs Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee,"
The ambassador couldn't help but speed up his pace after hearing this. As one of the permanent committees established by the US House of Representatives in the 18th century, the Foreign Affairs Committee has a huge impact on the US foreign policy.
And due to geographical relations, Colombia has long been one of the most important allies of the United States in Latin America.
In diplomacy, Colombia has long regarded its relations with the United States as a top priority in its diplomatic relations, and has actively cooperated with the United States on issues such as anti-drug and anti-terrorism.
The top priority of their embassy's work is to coordinate these tasks and find ways to obtain as much economic and military assistance from the United States as possible. Naturally, he cannot neglect the group responsible for Western Hemisphere affairs under the Foreign Affairs Committee.
"Hello, Mr. Chairman," the ambassador was very polite, but quickly relaxed. The call turned out to be not about work, but listening to what was said over there, he slowly frowned, "My name is Pace. Studying at Georgetown University and dad working in our embassy?”
Why does it sound more and more like his own son?
"Is there any problem? Harassing the daughter of an old friend?" Mr. Ambassador's face turned pale upon hearing this. Does this bastard think that my job is too leisurely?
He was clear about his son's character. He did take pleasure in pursuing girls based on his appearance, but he was a little confused and harassed. Would he do such a thing?
Is this girl in very good condition?
But since the donor said this, he naturally had nothing to say, "No problem, I will verify the relevant situation immediately. Don't worry, if it is indeed related to our embassy, I can guarantee that no matter what, after today, related matters will not Will happen again,"
He patted the table, was silent for a moment, and then dialed his son's phone, "Are you attending a party at a classmate's house? Female classmate?"
"You're not very popular, are you? Don't ask me how I know. Get out of there now, immediately, and remember to apologize before you leave."
"Shut up and do it now!" Mr. Ambassador was completely undiplomatic at this moment. "You have no idea how much trouble you may have caused us."
ps: I have created a group, 454, 231, 228. Everyone is welcome to visit and provide valuable opinions. I look forward to the opportunity to communicate with you!
