In fact, cocktail parties are very boring. In country y, such small cocktail parties are often held.

The Mr. Potter that Xiao Muyou was talking about was the earl, but the purpose of inviting Xiao Muyou this time was not for cooperation.

Mr. Porter has a young son who is twenty-eight years old. He attended the reception with Mr. Porter tonight.

Mr. Porter's real purpose is definitely to bring Xiao Muyou and his youngest son together, hoping to marry into the Xiao family.

This kind of marriage of interest is very common in the upper class. To put it nicely, it means that they are well-matched. To put it bluntly, it is not for the benefit of the family. As for love, in such a family, it is a luxury.

Mr. Porter had two sons in total, but they were not born from the same wife. Mr. Porter was very romantic when he was young, and his wife at that time was also a descendant of the aristocracy. They had a son and a daughter.

However, his first wife died of illness not long after the birth of their daughter. At that time, his wife's natal family was afraid that Mr. Porter would marry again and the two children would suffer, so they made him make a promise.

A hundred years from now, Mr. Potter's earldom will be hereditary to his eldest son.

At that time, Mr. Porter had no choice but to agree because his family's company needed the support of his wife's natal family, and he invited many high society and nobles to come and witness.

But Mr. Porter didn't expect that two years later, he would meet his current wife again, and this time he would meet true love. After all, although he and his first wife had known each other since childhood, their union was more about family.

Afterwards, Mr. Porter married his current wife as a matter of course, and a year later, gave birth to his youngest son.

Because the eldest son has basically lived in his grandfather's house since he was a child, and the younger son has been living with Mr. Porter, the relationship between father and son is even deeper.

As his two sons grew older, Mr. Potter also had an idea in his mind, that is, he hoped that his title would eventually be inherited by his younger son.

But Mr. Porter also knew very well that if he suddenly changed his mind, he would be breaking his promise. You must know that upper class society cares very much about a person's integrity.

So Mr. Potter can only think of another way, which is to work hard to make his youngest son even better, so good that others have to admit that he is the best heir of this family.

And Mr. Porter is also worried about one thing, and that is the natal background of his two wives. There is nothing he can do about it. His current wife was just born in a scholarly family. In terms of background, local social status and influence, she is not as good as his first wife.

Wife’s natal family.

No, in order to clear the way for his youngest son, Mr. Porter had no choice but to find a more powerful family to back him up, so he set his sights on Xiao Muyou.

Although the Xiao family is far away in China, the Xiao family also has great influence in country y. No, to be precise, the Xiao family has great influence in Europe and the United States.

Regardless of the fact that the Xiao family is rooted in China, in fact, many groups in Europe and the United States can see the shadow of the Xiao family, just like the Porter family, which is the big consortium behind Emmons, and the Xiao family, even more

A large consortium behind multiple local multinational companies.

Mr. Potter thought very clearly that as long as his youngest son could marry the daughter of the Xiao family, then the Xiao family would definitely step forward to intervene in the issue of the Potter family's inheritance rights.

It's a pity that Mr. Porter's wishful thinking was wrong. He only knew that Xiao Muyou was the daughter of the Xiao family, but he forgot to check whether she was single.

No, at the cocktail party, after Mr. Porter showed up with his young son, there was a direct commotion. But fortunately, neither party made the matter stalemate. Xiao Muyou also explained it in time, but it seemed unsettled.

Mr. Te didn't seem to give up completely. After all, Xiao Muyou and Lei Yan were just boyfriend and girlfriend.

In the car, Lei Yan sighed heavily and complained after hearing Xiao Muyou's words.

"I didn't expect that something like this could happen when I went abroad. Ms. Xiao Muyou, don't tell me you don't know anything."

"My conscience, I didn't know Mr. Potter or Count Dekar at all before tonight, but when it comes to these things, Gu Li is to blame, and that bastard must know."

Xiao Muyou said angrily that she had done Gu Li such a big favor by helping him get rid of his dissidents, but this guy dug such a big hole for her with his backhand. No, she couldn't swallow it.

Just as she was thinking about it, Xiao Muyou's cell phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Gu Li. This guy actually dared to call her.

Xiao Muyou answered the phone and before Gu Li on the other end could speak, he had already started questioning him.

"Gu Li, you actually tricked me, you ungrateful guy who burns bridges by crossing rivers."

"It's unfair. I was also kept in the dark by Mr. Potter. Really, Miss, what kind of relationship do you think we have? Do I dare to trick you? If I want to dig a hole for you, your elder brother can't bury me.

Already."

Gu Li was also aggrieved. He really didn't expect that his big boss paid such attention. If he knew, he would definitely explain it clearly.

When Xiao Muyou heard this, he said doubtfully.

"Gu Li, do you think I can still believe your lies?"

"Of course you have to believe it, Xiao Youyou. I just explained it to my boss. Don't worry, he won't mention this matter again in the future. In fact, my boss misunderstood this time. The reason why he didn't tell me was because he thought I was related to

You have legs, that’s why..."

"Holy crap, is Mr. Potter still a human being? If that's really the relationship between me and you, then isn't he just trying to take advantage of his subordinates? If you still work hard for a boss like this, I think you should just resign and come to work in my company.

, how about I hand over the management of the company directly to you?"

Xiao Muyou ran the bait and said, she was really not joking. As long as Gu Li agreed, she would hand over the company to Gu Li without hesitation. Wouldn't it be better for her to be a laid-back boss who doesn't care, so that she can be with her at any time?

It's got thunder flames.

Gu Li on the other end of the phone smiled bitterly, looked at Mr. Potter who was looking at him in the distance, then covered his phone and said.

"Xiao Muyou, I am staying here very well. In fact, this is normal. Mr. Potter is not poaching, he just wants a fair competition. This is very common here. If friends like the same woman at the same time, then

fair play."

Gu Li was not provoked by Xiao Muyou's words. After all, he had lived here for so many years and he still knew some things here.

What's more, Mr. Porter was kind to him, and he also respected Mr. Porter, so this matter would not affect Gu Li's attitude.

Seeing that the temptation failed, Xiao Muyou curled her lips, but she believed Gu Li's words and finally said calmly.

"Okay, I know this. Anyway, there won't be much chance to meet in the future, so I'll hang up."

"Wait, there is one more thing I must tell you."

Gu Li's voice came urgently. Xiao Muyou frowned slightly when he heard it. At this time, Gu Li's voice was not as relaxed as before.

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Muyou asked.

"Well, Mr. Potter is going to let Alex go to China."

When Xiao Muyou heard this, he stopped suddenly. Fortunately, it was late at night and there were no cars on the road, otherwise there would definitely be a rear-end accident.

Xiao Muyou also realized his recklessness, restarted the car, parked the car on the side of the road, and then glanced at Lei Yan, only to see Lei Yan looking at him with a half-smile, Xiao Muyou felt a chill down his spine.

"Gu Li, what do you mean?"

"Xiao Youyou, don't you know it yourself?"

Of course Xiao Muyou guessed what was going on, but she couldn't believe it.

"Wait a minute, does that guy speak Chinese? Let me tell you, we don't have a translator here."

Because the two companies have officially signed a cooperation contract, Emmons will send a team to China to assist in the work.

With the past incident of stealing sales, Emmons specifically added this clause when signing the contract.

Of course Xiao Muyou will not refuse. After all, Yaohua will not do such bottomless things. Not only are there a few more people, they can also help reduce the work tasks of Yaohua's employees, not to mention the wages of these people.

There is no need for Yaohua to bear the responsibility.

I just didn’t expect that Mr. Potter would let his youngest son come to China. Didn’t he love this little son very much? How could he be willing to let him come to China, which is thousands of miles away?

"Alex has been interested in Eastern culture since he was a child, so he has been learning Chinese. Simple communication has no problem, and the team coming this time are basically familiar with Chinese, so you don't have to worry about this."

"Don't worry, Gu Li, won't your conscience hurt when you say this? Did you already know about this arrangement?"

Xiao Muyou was very angry. She felt that this cooperation had the illusion of selling herself out. Well, how about finding a suitor for herself?

"I really don't know. I have listed three candidates for the leadership of this team, but there is absolutely no Alex. In fact, Alex was not Emmons's person before."

"Brother Gu, can I refuse? This Potter is playing with me."

"Xiao Youyou, I told you, they like to play fair competition games, and I think Alex quite likes you when he saw you today, so you should pay attention to yourself."

"Go away, don't make sarcastic remarks to me. Please tell Mr. Porter that the only connection between us is work. If you want to talk about things other than work, I won't accompany you. If Mr. Porter insists on arranging for his younger son to come to China,

Country, then let him be honest. If he dares to have any crooked thoughts, I will beat him until he cries for father and mother. I mean what I say."

Gu Li on the other end of the phone shook his head helplessly. Of course he knew that what Xiao Muyou said was serious. This girl would really do it if she said she would do it. For the safety of Alex's life, it seemed that he had to make peace with her.
