2293 Round Dining Room

"The scenery here is very unique. The River Thames outside the window. Looking at the river lights at night can make me feel proud. This is the strength of the British Empire!" Gladstone leaned against the window and sighed at the bustling night view outside the window.

Xiao Letian walked over, and only then did he discover the cleverness of the house. The circular design is very unique, because half of the entire room is filled with windows, which directly penetrates the wall to form a 360-degree viewing porthole.

Standing in the center of the windowsill, your eyes can easily scan the entire 360-degree circular view, which is indeed a unique design idea for a landscape room.

In front of me is the street along the river, with traffic and bustling, the Thames River is rippling, the waves are shining, and merchant ships flowing on the river surface, and the other side of the river is the heart of London's Capitol.

The orange gas lights illuminate the outline of the Capitol, and the hazy halo makes the entire building more soft as not available during the day.

"Good view, so clever design, round viewing balcony, floor-to-ceiling windows, round restaurant, this is the first time I have seen such a unique design idea..."

On other people's territory, I have to say that in fact, Xiao Letian has played countless revolving restaurants in high-rise buildings in his previous life, and there is nothing surprising about this design.

But since Gladstone arranged the banquet here, it means that the other party is showing off, and even if he pretends to act, he has to support him!

Gladston said proudly, "Yes, this design should be unique in Europe. I like it very much. Moreover, the owner of this restaurant is my good friend. His chef may not be able to make such magical food as Chinese imperial chefs. But since you are here, please try exotic flavors according to the local customs... Please sit down!"

The two sat opposite each other. The servant outside the door opened the door and delivered the red wine that had been awake for half an hour. He poured Xiao Letian a little and asked to try it out.

Xiao Letian skillfully shook his goblet, watched the wine slurry rotate in the pure crystal cup, tasted the ruby-like color, picked up the wine glass and sniffed the rich fruit fragrance.

"Burgundy Pinot Noir? It's great, but my taste level can only reach here. It should be more than 25 years of age? I can only roughly infer that..."

"Sir is really an expert. This is Pinot Noir for 28 years. We specially served him with French truffle sauce steak. I believe it won't disappoint you..."

"Yes, take a break!" The guest recognized this bottle of wine, and at this time the attendant could pour wine for both parties.

When the servant exited the room, Gladstone couldn't help but sigh, "I have always suspected your identity as a studying in Europe and the United States before, but just for your wine tasting skills, I knew that without more than ten years of wine, there was absolutely no such tasting level..."

"Oh, the bread crabs made in this restaurant are very delicious. What wine do you want to serve?" Gladstone asked.

"Although most people like to use white wine for seafood... but I personally like rosé wine. The rosé wines in the Loire Valley and the Rhone Valley in France are both good. Of course, if there is a rose life in Provence here, it would be even more perfect!"

Papa... Gladstone couldn't help but clap the applause, "Insider, it's true that he is an expert... Now I have a question to ask you, where did you study in Europe and the United States? Why can't we find the trajectory of your first half of your life?"

Xiao Letian was obviously immune to this problem. He gently shook his wine glass and smiled miserably, "I was wandering for the first half of my life, and I had no place to live, and I had no reputation in Europe, but I just like reading..."

"Europe and North America are very big, and you can understand not all places. I am an inconspicuous poor boy like me, but I am not conspicuous at all!"

"In my first half of my life, I have received many kind European people's help, but it is precisely because of their kindness that I am unwilling to disturb their peaceful life..."

"Let's get straight to the point. With my current international status and sensitive position, how many people are trying to control me or threaten me? Do you think I will give these people a chance?"

"So, let the people I love live peacefully forever. I shouldn't disturb them... So there is no need to delve into my first half of my life. As long as you know that I have the ability to use my second half of my life to change the world, that's enough!"

The circular dining room forms a perfectly curved sound zone, right on the walls on both sides of the room, the carefully disguised copper tube eavesdropping devices behind the exquisite wallpaper are working hard.

Each copper tube has a trumpet device, with wallpaper covering it, and then there are oil paintings, wine cabinets, and displays in front of it.

No one could have thought that this restaurant was a stronghold of British intelligence agencies, and this set of eavesdropping equipment alone cost 7,000 pounds.

The sound wave penetrated the wallpaper and entered the cavity of the copper tube. The two houses next door were silent. Prince Edward and the representatives of various forces who could affect the fate of Britain did not even dare to breathe heavily. They just listened quietly and listened to this important conversation that changed the political landscape of the world in the 19th century.

Gladston had known for a long time that Xiao Letian would not tell him the secret of his life experience, but he didn't expect that Xiao Letian's reason to refuse was so clever. He picked up the wine glass and sighed, "The Head of State is really interested. No matter whether what you said is true or false, I agree with your second half..."

"You are unknown in the first half of your life, so you may be brilliant in the second half of your life. At least you have already stirred up the situation in East Asia, and now you are here to stir up the situation in Europe... Are your ambitions a bit too big?"

Xiao Letian laughed with a puff, "Oh, dear Mr. Gladstone, do you think you are ambitious? Do you think you are ambitious to me?"

"Which one of the people who struggle in politics has no ambitions? Do you not have it? If you don't have it, how could you cooperate with me to deal with Benjamin?"

Gladstone did not blush when she heard the sarcasm, but said lightly, "Of course I have ambition, but I have a bottom line. Do you have it? My bottom line is very clear, that is, the interests of the Empire that never sets, and no transaction can cross this bottom line!"

Xiao Letian put down his wine glass, "I know, that's why you put forward so many additional harsh conditions, right? Tax exemptions from British merchants within the Chinese, judicial immunity, and warships are free to be parked... Tsk tsk, are you treating my Chinese as your British colony?"

"Dear Xiao, you have to understand that you have to make efforts if you want to get... Didn't you have an adjective in the West Travels? It's called the Club of the Great Powers, and I like this noun very much..."

"Since you want to enter this club, you have to make some efforts!"
