At the same time, a North African black man named James also left a significant mark in this history. He was once a member of the ace A-force sniper squad of the French Foreign Legion and was known as the "Black Lightning." After retiring, he became the assistant to the president of the German Light Group, playing alongside Catalina. It was his support and help that allowed Catarina to get through the difficult times smoothly.

Today, this ancient castle welcomed a distinguished guest from the United States—George Neal. She is younger and more beautiful than Catarina, with enviable eyes and an angelic face. However, she is not a vase, but the assistant to the president of the Ion Foundation, holding a pivotal position. Her grandfather, George Solas, was the founder of the Ion Foundation, which once swept through the Asian financial crisis.

Nell and James met because of an Asian man, and they formed a deep friendship. Nier's cooperation with German Light Group on behalf of Ion Fund is also out of her trust and support for James.

In the main conference room of the castle, a meeting related to the future of the family is taking place. Katarina sat in the main seat, with her husband and assistant to the president, James, on her right. Nier sat on her left, discussing the details of cooperation with her assistants. The atmosphere of the meeting was friendly and harmonious, and an agreement that satisfied both parties was quickly reached.

This castle has witnessed the glory and suffering of the Kirtwan family, as well as the tenacity and wisdom of Catarina and James. They used their own hands to win dignity and glory for their family, and also added a new legendary color to this ancient castle.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, please allow me, on behalf of all my colleagues at German Light Group, to extend my highest respect and most sincere thanks to Miss Nier!" Katarina's voice echoed in the conference room. , like the sound of nature, gentle and firm.

With the successful conclusion of the signing ceremony between both parties, Katarina, as the host, stood up gracefully and bowed deeply to Nier to express her heartfelt gratitude. Nier responded to the gratitude with a smile, her eyes sparkling with wisdom. She glanced slightly sideways and looked at James sitting beside him.

Although James' face remained calm, his heart was turbulent. He smiled bitterly in his heart: "Miss Nier, you asked me to find that guy Gui Wu, which really gave me a headache. It has been more than two years since I lost contact with him. Is he alive or dead? How can we know?" However, he naturally did not dare to reveal any of these inner struggles and helplessness to Ni'er.

Although Miss Neal appears gentle and intellectual, James knows very well that in her heart she dares to love, hate, and be forthright. If she knew that he had used the news about Ghost Dance as bait to lure her to Berlin, I'm afraid she would really pull out a gun and give herself a "live broadcast".

"Almighty God, please give me strength! Let my men find the traces of that guy as soon as possible, otherwise I will really be doomed!" James prayed devoutly in his heart, and was thinking hard about how to stabilize Nier. At this moment, the mobile phone on the table rang at an inappropriate time.

The Germanic people have always been known for their rigor, especially in such important business occasions, they pay attention to every detail to the extreme. Turning off mobile phones to show respect for distinguished guests has long been an unwritten rule. However, at this moment, James' cell phone broke the tranquility at an inappropriate time.

The members of the Kirtwan family, who had expressed their kindness to Nier with smiles, instantly turned their attention to James, with a bit of reproach and dissatisfaction in their eyes. Even Katarina frowned slightly and glanced at Nell quickly.

Nier just smiled faintly and lowered her eyes, as if everything was as she expected. James stood up in embarrassment and when he wanted to turn off his phone, he found that the area code on the caller ID was from China. His heart moved, and he immediately walked quickly to the corner and answered the phone: "Hello, this is James, who are you?"

"It's so shameful for James to answer the phone on such an occasion!" Some members of the Kirtwan family lowered their heads in embarrassment, fearing to see the sarcasm in Miss Neer's eyes. However, in fact, the assistants brought by Nier looked at James with more curiosity and confusion.

"Oh, he is such a casual person and never cares about other people's eyes." Nier sighed softly in her heart. Just when she was about to say something to divert everyone's attention, she heard James suddenly shouting loudly. : "Aha! Gao Fei! Is it really you? Where have you been in the past two years!?"

James's move was already disrespectful to Miss Neal, but considering that the two were good friends, everyone could barely forgive him. However, what he did next surprised everyone - he actually shouted loudly at the meeting!

Katarina couldn't help but frowned and shouted in a low voice: "James! You..." However, before she could finish her words, she was surprised to find that Miss Neal jumped up from the chair like a spring, regardless of the image. Holding the skirt, he ran towards James. She moved so quickly that she didn't even notice her thigh being touched by the edge of the table.

"Miss Neer, what's going on?" Everyone looked at this scene in stunned silence. Neer's behavior was completely beyond their imagination. Under the gaze of everyone, James turned around, raised his right hand and shouted into the phone: "Ok! ok! No problem! I know you will never make a loss-making business. Okay! No problem! That's it! I'll contact you later." ! I'm in a meeting!"

After hanging up the phone, James took a deep breath and looked at Nier who looked excited: "Nier, that's his phone number."

"He...where is he now?" Nier asked with a trembling voice, as if she was afraid that all this was just a dream.

"Nier, please don't get excited and listen to me." James raised his big hand and patted Nier's shoulder and said proudly: "That guy took the initiative to call me because he wanted to open a Western restaurant in China and asked us Can you join German Light?"

"You...did you agree?" Nier asked eagerly.

James shrugged and spread his hands: "What do you think?"

"Thank God!" Nier made a cross on her white forehead with her left and right hands and took a few deep breaths before forcing herself to calm down and whispered: "James, please don't tell him that you and I are always in contact. As for everything he does when opening a western restaurant, I ask you to take full responsibility. You don’t have to satisfy him that all the expenses will be borne by me.”

"Nier, if you say that, aren't you putting our friendship at risk?" James pretended to be displeased and retorted impassionedly: "My friendship with him has already transcended the boundaries of life and death. Let alone helping him open a restaurant. Even if I want to give him ten Western restaurants, I will never hesitate at all. Please remember that, just like you, I will always have a place for him in my heart." Nier's lips raised slightly and she responded with a smile. I know that you are brothers, but how can the friendship between you be compared to the relationship between me and him? "

James's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe it: "Oh? How can I say this? He and I are comrades who fought side by side and experienced the test of life and death together."

Nier smiled softly, her voice low but clear, like a bombshell exploding in James' ears: "His child and I have now spent eighteen months together."

This sentence shocked James like a bolt from the blue. He was stunned, as if he was frozen.

Nier smiled proudly, turned around gracefully, lifted the skirt of her skirt with both hands, and bowed deeply to everyone present: "I'm very sorry for interrupting the meeting because of our little surprise. But please allow us to This joy and cheers, thank you all for your tolerance and understanding.”

That night, after being inspired by Xie Hongyan, Gao Fei's thoughts drifted to James in the distance. James, a veteran who entered the mercenary world a few years earlier than Gao Fei, relied on his experienced experience and domineering style. Every time a new member joined the sniper squad, he would inevitably have to be "taken care of" by him.

Gaofei is naturally no exception. He clearly remembered that on the first day he joined the sniper team, he had a fierce battle with James. James, who was physically strong and experienced in combat, did not take Gao Fei seriously at first. However, when he was knocked to the ground by Gao Fei for the ninth time, he began to realize how extraordinary this young man was.

From then on, the two never knew each other and became good friends who talked about everything. James joined the Foreign Legion a few years earlier than Gao Fei, and left the world full of smoke and war a year earlier. He fell in love with a German girl, a wealthy daughter of a well-born family. She didn't need James to go through life and death on the battlefield, and he was tired of the wandering life and decided to spend the rest of his life with her.

Gao Fei didn't know much about James' German girl. He only knew that she came from a prominent family, and the German Light Restaurant owned by the family was world-renowned. Since his good friend had already lived a happy life, Gao Fei naturally didn't want to disappoint this friendship. He planned to enter the Western food industry, but he didn't want James to feel looked down upon.

So Gao Fei spent a few days carefully inspecting Western restaurants in southern Hebei. After some careful consideration, he decided to give James a call. James on the other end of the phone was moved to tears after hearing Gao Fei's plan. He knew Gao Fei's determination and courage, and believed that he would be able to make a name for himself in this industry.

"Sometimes I really envy Lao Hei," Gao Fei laughed at himself while eating foie gras and caviar. "How could he marry such a beautiful white girl when he is so dark and handsome? It must be so. I was fascinated by his singing! Haha, isn’t it a bit evil for me to think so?”

Gao Fei smiled evilly and walked out of the Royal Western Restaurant with satisfaction. He knows he still has a long way to go, but he has the confidence and determination to carve out a world of his own.

There are not many Western restaurants in Jinan, but Gao Fei is not discouraged. He believes that as long as you work hard, you will succeed. After some investigation, he decided to open the future Sunset Western Restaurant on the pedestrian street opposite the Royal Western Restaurant. The large flow of people and convenient transportation make it an excellent location for opening a Western restaurant.

"Let's call it the Sunset Western Restaurant!" Gao Fei looked at the Royal Western Restaurant opposite and already made up his mind. "The setting sun represents the arrival of darkness, but after darkness comes the light of dawn. I believe that my Sunset Western Restaurant will be like The whole western food market in southern Hebei is lit up like dawn!”

After making up his mind, Gao Fei began to prepare various matters for opening a store. He knows it's going to be a tough battle but he's ready for the challenge.

After careful consideration, Gao Fei dialed James' phone number with excitement and tactfully mentioned the financial troubles. He was well aware of James's generosity and humor, and expected that the other party would not only readily agree, but also make fun of himself in his unique way, such as "You treat money like dirt, why are you worried about not having enough money to open a restaurant?"

However, what Gao Fei didn't expect was that James's answer was extremely straightforward and he promised to come to Jinan in person tomorrow afternoon to discuss the plan with him. At this moment, the stone in Gao Fei's heart finally fell to the ground. He breathed a long sigh of relief, snapped his fingers, put his left hand in his pocket, and walked leisurely eastward.

Night had not yet fallen, and Gao Fei wanted to find a quiet place, drink a pot of good Tieguanyin, and carefully plan every detail of the restaurant, including recruitment and other matters. Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, a crisp voice broke the tranquility: "Uncle, will you buy flowers for your girlfriend?"

Gao Fei looked up and saw a girl standing in front of her holding a flower basket. She has a delicate appearance, wearing a white shirt and blue skirt. She is petite, about 1.4 meters tall. There was a heart-wrenching confusion and pleading in those deep-set eyes, which was obviously due to malnutrition or some physical problem. Gao Fei's heart moved, and she smiled and touched the top of her head: "I don't have a girlfriend."

The girl said "Oh" in disappointment, but did not turn around and leave as Gao Fei expected. She bowed first, then stepped aside: "I'm disturbing uncle."

Just as the girl was about to leave, Gao Fei stopped her and said, "Can I buy myself some flowers? Because I'm very happy today." The girl was very excited when she heard this, showing a liveliness consistent with her age: "I I’ll pick the most beautiful rose for you, and wish you can find your favorite girlfriend soon!” She picked out a delicate red rose from the basket and handed it to Gao Fei: “Uncle, ten yuan.”

Gao Fei took out a hundred yuan bill and put it into the flower basket: "No need to look for it." But the girl firmly rejected him: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, but I never accept tips." Gao Fei saw this and did not insist anymore. , because he saw that the girl had firm principles and self-esteem.

When the girl took out ninety yuan and handed it to Gao Fei, she also took out a flower: "Uncle, in order to thank you for your kindness, I decided to give you a flower on behalf of your future girlfriend. Please don't refuse!" Gao Fei smiled. He took the flowers and said, "Then I'm welcome." He asked casually, "Little sister, what's your name?" The girl shyly whispered, "My name is Wang Xiaozhuang."
