164: Chapter 164 Bicent's Energy!
"I'll say it again: I am always very generous to those around me."
"Once you come to work for me, you'll realize that the glamorous job at Swiss Bank isn't all that it's cracked up to be."
Shen Zhou pressed her step by step; he could already tell that Maria was tempted and just needed a final push.
Being able to live so comfortably in the external services department of Swiss Bank was proof enough that Maria was definitely no pushover.
"Mr. Shen, please give me some time. I still need to discuss this matter with my superior."
After a slight hesitation, Maria finally gave an ambiguous answer.
At least in the short term, she wouldn't make a decision right away.
Moreover, her position and the wealthy clients she handled meant she couldn't just resign casually.
"No problem. I'll wait for your good news," Shen Zhou said with a smile.
Soon, a restless Maria left Pearl Castle.
And she was riding in the extended Rolls-Royce that Shen Zhou had specifically prepared in advance.
This car had been borrowed from the property management on short notice, as he had never bought a car in Switzerland.
However, Andrei seemed to have guessed his thoughts and had already air-freighted an extended Rolls-Royce from the Swiss port on short notice.
It seemed that ever since he had reunited with Andrei, many things in life didn't require Shen Zhou to think too carefully.
Sitting in the living room, Shen Zhou rubbed his chin and finally called Vicente over.
"Mr. Shen, what are your instructions?" Vicente bowed slightly to show his respect.
"Vicente, you've been in Switzerland for quite a long time, so you should have some connections, right?"
"I hope you can try to find out about Maria's superior, and ideally, figure out where she might appear next."
Since he had set his sights on Maria, Shen Zhou naturally decided to take the initiative.
After all, many things cannot be achieved just by waiting.
"Understood, Mr. Shen. I will give you an answer within an hour," Vicente said confidently.
He was not only a local of Switzerland but had also worked at Pearl Castle for decades.
With the influence of Pearl Castle and its previous owner, he had long since established quite a few connections.
Considering his identity as the butler of Pearl Castle, there were certainly no shortage of people willing to help.
Of course, as long as Shen Zhou stayed in Switzerland long enough, the connections he possessed would naturally far exceed Vicente's.
Not even half an hour later, Vicente returned to the living room, full of confidence.
"Mr. Shen, everything you asked for has been found out."
"Let's hear it." Shen Zhou turned around with interest.
"Maria's superior is named Wieser, and she is from the USA."
"Ms. Wieser will be giving a speech at a public event this afternoon."
Vicente's words were very brief, but they clearly conveyed everything Shen Zhou wanted to know.
"Mr. Shen, if you need, I can continue to find out more detailed information for you." Vicente bowed slightly after speaking.
In fact, he had already started doing so; he began to let his network of connections investigate the real situation around Wieser.
Before long, even things that Wieser herself might not remember would be dug up by him.
"That's enough. Where is the location of that event? Can I go?" Shen Zhou asked impatiently.
"As the owner of Pearl Castle, there is nowhere in all of Switzerland that you cannot go."
"I will arrange your travel arrangements immediately," Vicente said proudly.
Soon, Vicente had arranged the extended Rolls-Royce to take Shen Zhou straight to the event location.
And Shen Zhou even had an invitation exclusive to Pearl Castle in his hand.
Holding the invitation, Shen Zhou smoothly walked into the venue.
The entire venue was on a huge lawn.
There were a large number of attendees, all dressed in suits and leather shoes.
In the very center of the lawn was a high platform, on which a lady was giving a passionate speech.
The lady was wearing a wine-red suit, had shoulder-length blonde hair, and looked to be about forty years old.
And this person was none other than Maria's superior, Ms. Wieser.
Shen Zhou had already seen her photo on the way, so he recognized her at a glance.
However, the Wieser in the photo appeared younger.
The Wieser speaking before him had not only shed some of her youthful immaturity but also carried more authority in her gestures.
It was evident that her life and career path over the past few years had been quite good.
Wieser's speech topic was related to finance, and many people below seemed to be practitioners in related fields.
Therefore, many people were listening very attentively.
After nearly half an hour, Wieser's speech neared its end.
Enthusiastic applause erupted at the scene.
Many people flocked to Wieser's side to chat.
After waiting for nearly another half hour, Shen Zhou finally got the opportunity to talk to Wieser up close.
"Ms. Wieser, it's a pleasure to meet you." Shen Zhou smiled and shook hands with Wieser.
"I'm sorry, sir, but my memory has always been poor. I didn't recognize you; I'm truly sorry."
Wieser said very politely.
But in her mind, she had already repeatedly searched for the faces of Asian people who had left a deep impression on her.
Yet, no one matched Shen Zhou.
"Ms. Wieser, you are too polite. This should be our first time meeting, but it seems you previously dispatched Ms. Maria to be in charge of my related matters."
Shen Zhou straightforwardly pointed out his identity.
Wieser was stunned for a moment, and then an extremely enthusiastic smile immediately bloomed on her face.
"So it's Mr. Shen! You look much more handsome than in the photos; no wonder I didn't recognize you."
"Mr. Shen, are you dissatisfied with Maria's service? If that's the case, I will definitely instruct her well when I go back, and I hope you can give her another chance."
Wieser's first reaction was actually to defend Maria. This was quite rare in the workplace.
Shen Zhou was suddenly moved; he finally understood why Maria really didn't want to change jobs.
"Ms. Maria is excellent, and I am very satisfied with her service."
"She said that she and you are like sisters. I was originally, but now it seems I was the one who was ignorant."
Shen Zhou couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He even felt a bit reluctant to poach Maria, though this thought was fleeting.
"Mr. Shen, thank you for your praise. We at Swiss Bank have always been dedicated to serving every major client."
The expression on Wieser's face became a bit more serious in an instant.
Shen Zhou also waved his hand and said, "Then I'll get straight to the point. I came this time hoping you could do me a favor."
"Mr. Shen, please go ahead. I will do my utmost to help you solve any problems."
Wieser straightened her back, staring at Shen Zhou with bright eyes.
