Chapter 1214: Discovered a Problem
Luo Xiwen, being a high-level executive of the group, was naturally traveling in first class. However, as she glanced at Su Chen sitting next to her, that special feeling seemed to become even more apparent.
It wasn't dislike, nor shyness, nor discomfort. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but it was definitely something different.
Su Chen didn't possess Luo Xiwen's sensitivity; when the flight attendant came by, he even chatted her up, making her giggle!
In first class, of course, one must maintain decorum, so the flight attendant covered her mouth as she laughed, her graceful body inadvertently quivering!
"You, seriously..."
Luo Xiwen saw how Su Chen amused the flight attendant with just a few words and was genuinely impressed by his skills!
But having known him for so long, she wasn't surprised by it anymore...
After about ten hours of flying, the plane finally arrived in the capital of Country F, and landed slowly at the airport.
"Finally, back here again!"
After exiting the airport, Su Chen took a deep breath of fresh air and sighed!
"You've been here before?"
Luo Xiwen couldn't help but ask.
Su Chen smiled without speaking. He had been here countless times; during his days in the Dark World, he was very familiar with Country F!
Before long, two extended Mercedes cars slowly drove over, stopping beside them. A well-maintained man in his forties stepped out from the first car.
"President Luo, welcome to inspect the work!"
Upon seeing Luo Xiwen, the man immediately came over and spoke enthusiastically.
Several bodyguard-like individuals followed behind him.
Luo Xiwen held the position of Vice President and General Manager at Belle Group, so it was only natural for him to refer to her as President Luo.
"President Luo, the hotel has already been arranged. Let me take you there to rest first."
The middle-aged man continued to say:
"Also, I've arranged a banquet for the evening. I'll have a car pick you up then."
"President Wang, skip the banquet, just prepare the materials. I'll go to the branch first thing in the morning."
Luo Xiwen casually replied.
"But... everyone's eagerly anticipating, won't it be...?"
President Wang hesitated, expressing his concern.
"Don't worry. Just explain that I'm too tired from the flight, and convey my apologies to everyone."
Luo Xiwen waved her hand dismissively.
"Alright then, since President Luo insists, we'll do as you say!"
President Wang nodded in agreement.
"And this is...?"
At this point, President Wang noticed Su Chen beside Luo Xiwen and asked.
"President Wang, let me introduce you."
Luo Xiwen spoke up:
"This is the Director of our Belle Group's PR Department and also President Lin's husband!"
"Su Chen, this is President Wang, responsible for the Group's affairs in Country F and all of Europe!"
Luo Xiwen then introduced Su Chen to President Wang.
"Oh, so it's Director Su! I've long heard of your reputation and am finally meeting you in person today!"
Upon hearing this, President Wang enthusiastically stepped forward, shaking Su Chen's hands firmly!
However, a trace of disdain flickered in his eyes. He had heard of Director Su's reputation!
In the group, he seemed to be a figurehead, leveraging his relationship with the President, and only visiting the group a few times over half a year. Even when present, he never handled any affairs!
Since he had been sent by Lin Ruoxue to establish the European branch in Country F three years ago, due to Lin Ruoxue's plans to enter the international market, he seldom returned. Thus, he knew little about Su Chen's other affairs, much less understood him deeply!
Because he rarely returned, and Su Chen seldom visited the group, this was their first meeting!
Faced with President Wang's overwhelming enthusiasm, Su Chen merely smiled faintly and subtly withdrew his hand!
"By the way, I didn't know Director Su was coming, so I'll arrange a room next to President Luo's now."
President Wang said with a smile.
"That works."
Su Chen nodded.
He had indeed decided last minute to accompany Luo Xiwen, although Lin Ruoxue had planned to arrange accommodation for him here in Europe.
Su Chen mentioned it wasn't necessary, and said he could simply book a room himself, to which Lin Ruoxue agreed.
But since the offer was made, Su Chen accepted.
Before long, the two of them sat in the back of a Mercedes car, heading towards the hotel!
After a half-hour drive, they arrived at the entrance of a five-star level hotel.
The hotel was full of Country F's characteristic charm, looking like a garden, and was very beautiful!
Upon entering the lobby, someone was already waiting there, handing the room cards to President Wang.
He then gave them to Su Chen and Luo Xiwen with a smile, saying:
"You two should rest well today. Do you need someone to pick you up tomorrow?"
"No need, we'll head over ourselves!"
A professional smile appeared on Luo Xiwen's face as she replied.
"Alright then, I'll take my leave. I'll await you both at the branch tomorrow!"
After President Wang left the lobby, Su Chen and Luo Xiwen took the elevator upstairs, quickly arriving at their room doors.
"Rest for a while, then we'll go out for dinner."
Su Chen said with a smile.
"Okay."
Luo Xiwen nodded, then opened the door and went inside.
Su Chen did the same, sitting on a sofa chair once inside, then lighting a cigarette and casually smoking.
Meanwhile, he casually observed the surroundings.
This had become an instinct for Su Chen over the years; whenever he was in a new environment, he habitually observed everything.
Two or three minutes later, Su Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed, a sharp light flashing through them!
However, he didn't show it and pretended to stroll casually, walking around the room.
Moments later, he exited his room, going to Luo Xiwen's room next door and knocking a couple of times.
"Why are you here?"
Luo Xiwen heard the knock and walked over to open the door. By then, she had taken off her coat and was only wearing a shirt.
She had planned to lie down for a while, even though it was a first class flight, sitting for ten hours was still tiring!
She was puzzled why Su Chen suddenly came over; hadn't they agreed to rest a bit then have dinner?
"Shh!"
Su Chen grabbed Luo Xiwen's arm, pulling her outside the room.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Xiwen looked puzzled, feeling inexplicable!
"There are pinhole cameras and listening devices in my room!"
Su Chen said:
"If I'm not mistaken, your room has them too!"
