Chapter 291 The Direct Solution to the Problem
Since he couldn't avoid it, he could only follow his will. Anyway, Tommy came here today to see his... friend, brother.
Maybe, there is still a little bit of the idea of seeing Dyna Lance, who knows.
Anyway, now...
"Brother Tommy? Why are you here?"
The familiar voice rang in my ears, Tommy shivered tremblingly as if he was a little ptsd, this time he was completely sober.
"Oh! Shia! Hahaha... You, why are you here, oh, this is your hotel, hahahaha..."
Dressed in a simple t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, today's Shia doesn't look like her past, although it seems that she shouldn't be dressed like this on an occasion like today, but...
As long as she doesn't make trouble, it's fine.
It seems that what happened last time had a great impact on Shia.
Tommy shook his head, reluctantly cleared the terrible memory from his mind, smiled and took two glasses of wine from the waiter at the side, thought for a while, and put one back.
"Xia, how are you recently...?"
Tommy has been "locked up for a long time", and has been living a very fulfilling and busy life for the past year or so, and he hasn't seen Sia for a long, long time.
Subconsciously, he thought that Xi Ya was still the same as before, a troublesome young lady, just like himself in the past, a person who couldn't do good things and was only good at doing wrong things.
But in fact, Tommy himself was plagued by nightmares, reliving the horrible scene of that day in his dreams every now and then, so why not Shia.
"I'm fine, brother Tommy."
Shia smiled gently, and wanted to put her hands into her trouser pockets a little uneasy. Unnaturally, he took it back and hugged his hands together.
"I... Brother Tommy, today you..."
"Oh, I'm...he. I'm here to find him."
Tommy patted Oliver on the shoulder and said seriously: "Today is his birthday."
Oliver's eyes widened, and he felt as if he had fallen into some kind of bad "battlefield" without paying attention, and was used by the two as props to divert attention and topics at the same time, and he couldn't get out.
"Ah yes, that's good, good."
Shia didn't refute, just smiled and took a glass of wine from the waiter who passed by here again, and raised her head to toast.
"Sia."
Oliver stopped her.
Tommy started to have a headache.
"I'm fine, Oliver."
Shia didn't throw a tantrum like Tommy imagined, she just glanced at Tommy with a smile, and stood there silently.
The scene fell into a certain embarrassment for a while.
Until, the first wave of guests arrives.
"Let's go to the door first, it's not good to neglect the guests."
Tommy played by ear, put down the wine glass in his hand, pulled Oliver, and walked towards the door.
And Xi Ya stared at that side in a daze, pursed her lips, and leaned against the wall, wondering what she was thinking.
…………
Today is Oliver's big day. This is the first time that he stands in front of celebrities from all walks of life in Star City with a positive, polite and capable image. As the heir of the Quinn Group, he undertakes such an event.
This is indeed a signal.The prodigal son turned his head and put down the signal for the butcher knife.
In fact, except for those first-generation entrepreneurs who have really worked hard from scratch, almost all business successors, those second and third generations... all have more or less a past of "doing nothing".
At a certain point in their lives, some of them will "understand" and transform into a qualified heir to a business empire. Many businessmen here are not surprised by this, but have a familiar sense of sight, which is very empathy.
This Oliver Quinn, at last, realized that he was him and his mother was his mother.Decided to compete for power with the mother who now controls the Quinn Group.
Oliver did have such thoughts.After all, the little book left to him by his father recorded, apart from the dirty sins of the many wealthy people in Star City, the most written about it was the development history of their Quinn Group and the unsightly things behind it. thing.
As a member of the Quinn Group, Oliver has long been determined to completely end all the existence value of the Quinn Group at a certain moment.
For this reason, he should indeed become the master of the Quinn Group first.
However, this is not the full value of today's dinner.
Oliver had previously caught the central figure who caused the chaos in Star City and almost caused the underground forces in the entire Star City to riot: Black Bat Ben.
Although he still doesn't know the reason behind it, he knows that a powerful person has come to Star City, and it is that mysterious person who guides all this behind the scenes.
The current situation is that there will inevitably be an unknown follow-up between Green Arrow and the mysterious man. This follow-up may be a negotiation, or a war. In short...
In the next few days, Oliver may have to maintain vigilance for a long time, appearing as the Green Arrow, which is an unconcealable impact on his identity concealment plan.
He had to have a reason, a reason that made Oliver disappear for a few days, but everyone, including friends and family, everyone who knew him felt reasonable.
Fighting for power and position, falling out with mother.This is a good reason.
Therefore, Oliver carried out the plan decisively and directly.
After the dinner party is over, he will naturally walk out through that door and disappear for a while.
This can be very reasonably interpreted as "to avoid family members", and no one will doubt it.
In this way, he can get enough time to do what Green Arrow should do.
Therefore, during the entire dinner, Oliver behaved politely and extremely restrained, really like a "woke up" person with a lot of preoccupations.
Those guests, some looked at each other coldly, some smiled, some went to Moira Quinn, the current helm of the Quinn Group, to discuss something in a low voice, and some blatantly bet on the future new emperor.
Human feelings are warm and cold, vividly.
When the dinner was over, the three members of the Quinn family stood in three distinct directions. Moira stood with her boyfriend, Oliver stood with his friend Tommy, and Shia stood by herself. together.
"Oliver..."
Moira's complexion was not very good, and she looked very tired. She took a step forward, looking like she wanted to say something to Oliver.
As a mother, although Moira is a strong woman in business, she has carried forward the Quinn Group together with the old Quinn, and truly secured the position of the helm of the Quinn Group with her strength and ability, but she did not occupy the position at all. The meaning of this company is that it has no idea against Oliver.
She has not delegated authority and prevented Oliver and Shea from contacting company affairs. In fact, Moira is really doing it for their own good and protecting them.
The Quinn Group has been completely tied to the Merlin Group's chariot for decades. This is not just an in-depth commercial cooperation, but even...
Moira certainly couldn't forget what Tommy's father had said to her when he found out that Quinn Sr. wanted to quit, to bring all the dirty stuff to light.
It is also impossible to forget... how Oliver's father, Old Quinn, died.
Dear Oliver, my son.Do you really think that it was a simple accident...
That's silence!
"Mother."
At this time, almost all the guests had left. Oliver went straight to Moira who was afraid to go forward, hugged her gently, and said in a low voice: "I know. I know everything."
"You do not know!"
Moira couldn't help but tell everything, but when she saw Tommy over there, she naturally thought of his seemingly calm but cruel father, and took back the words when she reached her mouth.He just closed his eyes and kept talking to himself: "You don't know...you don't know..."
"Sia."
Oliver let go of Moira, who was exhausted, and turned to look at Shia: "Why are you standing so far away. We are a family."
This sentence directly made Xi Ya, who had been wronged and dared not speak, cry. She ran over with tears streaming down her face, hugged her brother and mother, and sobbed very sadly.
"What's the matter with you, why are you doing this!"
Originally, Xi Ya was disturbed by the last incident, but when she instinctively wanted to seek help and support, she was surprised to find that everything had changed.
Tommy disappeared, as if trying to avoid her.
Oliver, too, always has some secret hidden in his eyes, always looks at her with a kind of... pitying eyes, but doesn't say anything.
The same is true for mother Moira, who also hides some secrets, refuses to tell them, and avoids her, and often hides and cries secretly, and the eyes that look at her often reveal... apologies.
Shia didn't know what happened to the world, nor did she know what happened to her brother Tommy or her family.
She only knew that something had happened, as if everyone knew about it, but they kept it from her tacitly, and they always showed a hidden hostility between each other.
All of this made Xia at a loss, even fear and self-blame.
"What the hell happened, you...why are you doing this!"
Faced with his sister's cries, Oliver's eyes flashed with sadness, but all he could do was hold Shia tighter.
He must never let Shia know the terrible and sad truth, never let Shia know...
It was their mother who caused the shipwreck and killed their father.
And Moira couldn't open her mouth, she could only cry.
The three people have their own concerns, and they are sad.In addition, Moira's boyfriend, who has been secretly standing by Old Quinn's side and wants to investigate the truth, knows everything and sees everything, but on the other side are friends and the people he loves and the people who love him , on the other side is his father and his own natural original sin, Tommy who looks even more miserable but can't do anything, can't do anything...
Five people standing there is enough to film a TV series with [-] episodes in four seasons.
This scene, how uncomfortable can be explained.
"Tsk... I can't stand it anymore."
Behind him, a voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the sadness of the players in the game.
They looked back and found that there were still guests who had been sitting at the self-service dining area, moved a chair over, and were facing away from the crowd, feasting.
"gentlemen……"
Tommy stepped forward first, who made him stand closest.
"The dinner party is over, if you think the food here is not bad, we will arrange a box here for you tomorrow, please be sure to come.
The car is ready outside the door, I hope you..."
"Yo, you are quite polite and good at talking."
The man was holding a plate of noodles, turned around, and with a smile, swept a handful of noodles into his mouth with his own chopsticks, and said vaguely: "I remember you were not like this before."
At this time, Tommy, who was the only one facing this guest, froze in place.
Painful memories of the past resurfaced in my mind, and the nightmare-like image in my mind slowly overlapped with the smile of the person in front of me.
"you you……!"
"Ah, me. What's the matter with me."
Lynn stood up, paused and sat back down, pulled the steak a little further away, and picked it up with chopsticks: "Don't you still know me?"
"Why are you here!"
"Tsk, these words are not as good as those just now, why can't I be here, I am Oliver's savior, can I be absent on this occasion!
Moreover……"
Lynn bent to the side, showing a bright smile and looking at Oliver and the others who were also looking this way: "... Oliver himself invited me over."
With that said, Lynn stood up.
Tommy, who was standing in front of him, let out a loud cry and fell to the ground.
"Brother Tommy... oh my god... ah——!!"
Only then did Shia see who the guest was.
"Stop calling."
Lynn frowned impatiently, stepped over Tommy, and walked this way.
"Forest……!"
Oliver stepped forward hurriedly, protecting Xi Ya behind him: "Calm down!"
"Huh?! Who do you take me for!"
Lynn crossed her hips and saw Moira's bald boyfriend calling for someone to come over.
"You, don't move. What does this have to do with you?"
Oliver found out too.If others don't know what's going on, how can he not know!That's Lynn!Why did you call so many people over!I'm afraid it's not messy enough or...
Suddenly, his expression froze, and he swallowed extremely hard: "You just said... I asked you to come..."
"correct."
"Then that person..."
"Correct."
Lynn nodded with a smile: "I'm the one looking for him."
Oliver's expression suddenly became very bitter.
"This...is not in line with your style of doing things..."
"So, you really can't guess me! Hahahaha!"
Lynn smiled happily, but Oliver was sad and regretful.
I should have known... I would have known what I was mixing with...
"okay."
Lynn just stood up for 20 seconds, then pulled up a chair and sat down again. He glanced back at Tommy who was still in a daze. Lynn smiled, looked at Oliver and the others, and looked at everyone one by one, and finally Focus on Oliver.
"Then who, you have to leave it to me."
"okay."
"Then who, he came to look for you."
"Ah."
"He really came to lure you into his gang...you agreed?"
"Um……"
"Cut. From my point of view, things on your side don't seem to be done well yet. It's been a year."
"Lynn, you..."
"Well, let me help you today."
"Lynn! You want to...!"
"Correct!"
Lynn nodded, and said with a blank expression: "Let me help you, from the beginning to the end, read the whole story.
So who, that bald head, go out~
Oh yes, you go find someone.Her name is...Lance.Dyna Lance. "
With Erlang's legs crossed, Lin En casually brought a plate of raw cuts from the table next to him, and took out a stove from somewhere.
"My patience is limited~"
