Struggle in Russia

When Li Xiao arrived at Francois Perrier's mansion, the little old man was receiving the Bretianu brothers, or the Bretianu brothers were pestering the little old man. For this pair of brothers, the French are the real savior and master, and they are far more kind and lovely than those yellow-faced, thin-faced and demanding mud-legged people in this country.

It's just that the little old man wasn't particularly impressed with the brothers. He treated them more perfunctorily than sincerely, just like a gentleman living in the city would treat a down-and-out relative in a backcountry looking for relief.

"Gentlemen, of course the French government supports your great cause of pursuing freedom, expresses sympathy for your experiences, and is willing to provide you with all the help within your power... But at the same time, please be more patient and understanding. The problems facing Asia are particularly complicated and difficult, and cannot be solved overnight..."

"You should fully mobilize your strength first and actively communicate with us in order to cooperate. Only in this way can things go smoothly and achieve satisfactory results for both of us..."

The little old man's words were stinky and long. He seemed to have said a lot, but they were all empty and empty. The whole text was full of nonsense. The central idea was one: Want help? No! Come on yourselves, I am optimistic about you!

This naturally did not satisfy the Bretianu brothers. What they wanted was real help from France. At least they had to express their attitude internationally to condemn Russia and support Wallachia's independence movement.

But even the French are unwilling to give the latter, because the French are too busy to take care of themselves now, and they are in a hurry by the February Revolution. How can they care about the life and death of Wallachia at this time.

At this time, the little old man saw Li Xiao, which immediately made him less interested in the Bretianu brothers. The top priority was to please and win over Li Xiao. The sand sculptures in Wallachia died as far away as possible. .

"Gentlemen, please excuse me for a moment." The little old man interrupted Dimitri's speech unceremoniously. "There is a distinguished guest who needs to be received by me personally. I will continue to talk about this topic with you later."

Saying that, without looking back, the little old man put on a smile and greeted Li Xiao with a smile on his face:

"Dear Mr. Diomede, welcome to the humble house, it really makes the humble house flourish!"

Speaking of which, the little old man couldn't help but gave Li Xiao a warm face-to-face gift, the enthusiasm was almost flattering, which made the Bretianu brothers who were watching beside him jealous.

Of course, the two brothers couldn't help but come up with a thought: 【Who is this young man? 】

None of the people present could answer this question.

Because most of the people who came to the little old man's salon were locals like the Bretianu brothers, it was impossible to know Li Xiao, and the few remaining French businessmen or diplomats were also confused because of Li Xiao's sudden arrival. . But they all knew that the person who could make Perrier so enthusiastic must have a strong background.

But this question didn't last long, the little old man himself soon revealed the answer, he personally introduced Li Xiao to all the guests:

"Gentlemen and ladies! Please allow me the honor to introduce you to one of my best young friends - Mr. Henry Diomede. Mr. Diomede is the Counselor of our Embassy in Turkey Mr. De Pellani My good friend, deeply appreciated and loved by Mr. Pelleni, has now come to Wallachia to start the Wallachia Petroleum Company..."

The guests present were not interested in the words of the Wallachia Oil Company, because most of them did not even know what oil was. The only thing that cheered them up was the name De Pelleni. As the most important French diplomat stationed in Turkey, this man's influence was quite large, and no one dared to underestimate him.

And someone, as a good friend of De Pellaini, naturally also rose with the tide. Who would dare to offend such a French uncle!

Li Xiao really didn't expect the little old man to give him a magical assist. With this guy's endorsement, his status as De Pelleni's good friend is more real than real gold, and it should be able to make these Valla present The Guian elite firmly believed that this would make his next actions much smoother. Seriously, he wanted to give the little old man a loving hug, so let's make such an assist more violent!

"This young man is very important!" Dimitri said quietly to Jan Constantine, "If we can directly contact that Mr. de Pelleni through his relationship, or go to Mr. Mr. Lenny's job, our job of persuasion will be much easier!"

Jan Constantine also thinks so, but he is still a little puzzled because of his cautious nature: "But this Mr. Diomede is too young, it is really hard to believe that he will belong to that Mr. De Pelleni good friend!"

It's just that Jan Constantine's doubts were quickly dispelled by Li Xiao, who smiled and said to all the guests:

"Mr. Perrier said that I am a good friend of Mr. Pelleni. This is really flattering me. I am just a young man who has been honored by his elders. Mr. Pelleni has taught and cared for me a lot. Yes A respectable elder, I have full respect for him, and I firmly believe that it is his wise, knowledgeable, professional, and capable excellent diplomat that can enable those of us traveling overseas to obtain the best business environment. Great diplomats like him, their contributions will be remembered by history!"

It turned out to be a family relationship!

Jan Constantine and the others immediately realized it, which made sense. Is it normal for Pellaini to take care of the descendants of an old friend?

This immediately made Li Xiao even more popular. No matter if it was a Romanian or a Frenchman who didn't want to have a good relationship with Pelleni, there was no way before, but now there is a ready-made way to bring it to his mouth!

"Welcome Mr. Diomede! Wallachia welcomes you to invest!"

"Mr. Diomede, when will your company open? I must go to congratulate you!"

"Mr. Diomede, you can tell me if you have any difficulties. I am the mayor of the interim government of Bucharest. I will do my best to serve your business!"

In an instant, Li Xiao was surrounded by all kinds of Romanians kneeling and licking. He was overwhelmed with flattery, fawning and flattery. So much so that even the little old man was squeezed away by the enthusiastic flow of people. As for the Bretianu brothers, they couldn't even touch each other. I was really anxious and had no choice!
