Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 219 Emperor Waltz

The lobby of the Regent Hotel was completely booked. The original guests looked curiously at this group of people who were dressed elegantly but looked like a bunch of teenage high school students no matter how you looked at them.

Although they tried their best to make themselves look mature, their slightly childish faces still betrayed the fact that they were pretending to be mature.

At this moment, most people have arrived, and many high school students are bustling in the magnificent lobby of the Regent Hotel. Although many of them come from wealthy families, and Shilan is an aristocratic middle school that never hesitates to help students expand their horizons, they have never seen such a scene.

There might be waiters in black tuxedos and white gloves, or maids in black lace skirts, black stockings and high heels, carrying all kinds of drinks and walking among the crowd with perfect smiles... At a party with only teenagers, it is naturally impossible for them to drink.

The waiters with luxurious makeup and the hotel's original retro decorations made many people feel as if they had really arrived in a luxurious palace in the Middle Ages.

They said they invited students from Shilan Middle School, but in fact, only the high school students came. Because compared to a group of half-grown high school students, those middle school students were really just children, and they looked like they were not at ease coming here.

Su Xiaoqiang walked in the crowd. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was very obvious. There was a murderous look on her pretty face, which made a group of people who wanted to come up and say hello with cups in their hands give up.

After waiting at the door until the idiot showed up, Su Xiaoqiang felt like she had been infected by the idiot and had become an idiot too. She felt a little irritated tonight. She should have let the events of the day go, and she had taken revenge on the idiot, but she felt more and more uncomfortable.

"Su Xiaoqiang, let's just forget it." Liu Miaomiao, who was following behind Su Xiaoqiang, said in a low voice. It was already very late when they woke up, and they didn't see how Su Xiaoqiang was pranked or how she retaliated against him.

Chen Wenwen on the side nodded and said, "Yes, there are so many people here. Even if you really retaliate, it will be embarrassing for both of you."

Su Xiaoqiang suddenly stopped. How could she not know that this was wrong, but she just felt uncomfortable for some reason.

Suddenly, Chen Wenwen's eyes lit up and she said she saw someone. Sure enough, he still liked to go to eat and stay like before. Su Xiaoqiang also saw it. When she walked over angrily, a waiter in white walked past her while ringing a bell. Behind the waiter, a space had been vacated.

Lu Mingfei watched Lucrecia walk down the stairs. She had changed into a long white silk dress decorated with gauze tonight. There was a slit on one side of the skirt, revealing her slender and powerful legs under the hazy white gauze. The long skirt trailed behind her like a white rose bud waiting to bloom.

Lucrecia seldom wore jewelry, because no jewelry was as dazzling as her shining golden hair. She herself might be the most dazzling treasure in the world.

But at this moment, her dazzling golden hair was tied up and fixed by a golden laurel wreath. The laurel wreath was inlaid with gems, like a crown, adding a touch of brilliance to her already dazzling appearance under the light.

There is also a sapphire pendant on her slender neck, which looks like the Heart of the Ocean in Titanic. Of course, there is no such pendant as the Heart of the Ocean in the world, but it does not prevent someone from making it.

With the financial resources of Gattuso's family, making such a pendant is not a problem at all.

This was a token of love given by Lucrecia's father to her mother. It is said that when the classic film was about to be withdrawn from the screen, her father took out the necklace and gave it to her mother, who was still crying because the heroine in the movie returned to the Titanic after her death, as a proof of their relationship.

Later, Lucrecia's mother gave her the pendant.

Lu Mingfei had heard Lucrecia talk about this. She said that she would wear the pendant that her mother had gently put on her on important occasions related to her life. The pendant had special meaning to her.

Lucrecia slowly approached Lu Mingfei. The waiters in white gloves cleared the way in front of her, and everyone couldn't help but make way for her when they saw her. She was really too dazzling.

Lu Mingfei originally thought that she would dress extravagantly today, as if to loudly announce to the world that she was the eldest daughter of the Gattuso family and the uncrowned princess of Rome. But he did not expect that Lucrezia would be unexpectedly elegant today.

But even so, she is still graceful and elegant, like a noble queen walking out of a classical painting, making people believe without hesitation that she is the heroine of tonight's banquet!
"Junior brother, this girl from Gattuso's family looks like she has bad intentions." Figel leaned close to Lu Mingfei and whispered.

Her tall stature, eye-catching outfit, and almost overpowering aura of a queen made it impossible for the students in the preparatory class to recognize her. She was the administrator who was criticized by countless people in the Night Watchman forum.

Lucrecia was slightly stunned when she saw her from afar just now, as if she didn't expect that the useless guy could look so eye-catching after dressing up.

“But don’t panic, it’s just the Gattuso family.” Figel bit his fork and patted Lu Mingfei’s shoulder to cheer him up. “It’s true that she is the eldest daughter of the Gattuso family, but you are the prince of Kassel. In terms of birth and status, you are not inferior to the other one at all!”

"When did I become the prince?" Lu Mingfei grinned.

"Does Menech know? It doesn't matter if you don't know. You just need to know that Kassel College is named after his surname. And then, your great-great-grandfather Lu Shanyan is his brother, and the principal used to hang out with them." Figel said proudly.

Lu Mingfei glanced at her and said, "You are really good. You can even gossip about the principal."

"That's not the case. I am determined to become the dragon of the news department." As he said that, Figel took Lu Mingfei's plate and handed it to the person next to him.

Then he patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder and pushed him forward: "Junior brother, you bear it first! Don't be afraid, I will come to support you after I have eaten my fill!"

"Is this how you hold up the show for others?" the man who had earlier taken the plate from Figel said quietly.

Figel looked at him in surprise: "Hey, Junior Sister, when did you get here?"

"I've been here for a while, but you were busy eating. You probably wouldn't even look at anyone who came." Chen Motong said softly, glancing at the dance floor where there were only two people.

"Are you coming to support the event too?" Figel looked at her with some doubt.

"...Maybe, but it's not my turn now." Chen Motong said softly. What a déjà vu scene.

Figel followed her gaze and shrugged, saying, "Come on, Junior Sister, just hold the stage or something, just fool yourself. If anyone dares to make him suffer in this place, Lucrecia will definitely let that person know what the Gattuso family started with."

Chen Motong retracted her gaze, and looked at Figel silently with her crimson eyes: "I'm a little curious, why are you so nice to him?"

"I'm his senior sister. If I don't protect him, who will?" Figel shrugged.

"You can only lie to yourself when you say this." Chen Motong responded to her using Figel's own words.

Figel didn't say anything, humming an unknown song, and continued to eat. When Lu Mingfei responded, he was already standing in the center of the empty stage. Lucrecia in front of him was looking at him with a faint smile, so elegant that people dared not look directly at her.

Lucrecia smiled and held out her hand to him, "Hello, Champion. I wonder if I would be honored to dance with you for the first time?"

Lu Mingfei looked around and found that they were the only two people in the huge dance floor. Many pairs of eyes were looking at them with curiosity, envy, or amazement.

"Just us?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Even though he had little experience attending banquets, he knew that during the dance session at banquets, pairs of men and women would walk hand in hand onto the dance floor. Now, the band on the second floor of the hall had begun playing the prelude to the dance, but the people around him remained unmoved.

Lucrecia replied: "I don't want anyone to disturb me at such an important time."

"...Well, it's my honor too." Lu Mingfei said, reaching out and holding Lucrecia's slender hand.

Now that things have come to this, let’s finish dancing first and then go eat.

Come to think of it, this seemed to be the first time that Lu Mingfei and Lucrecia danced in such a solemn occasion. No, maybe it was even the first time for them to dance.

Lucrecia lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand, revealing the high heels hidden under it. The hem of her skirt, which was originally like a bud waiting to bloom, opened up and was decorated with light gauze, like a flower in full bloom.

Lu Mingfei put one arm around her waist and held her hand with the other. It was hard to believe that Lucrecia could maintain such a slender waist while having such a proud bust that would make girls despair.

But her slenderness does not mean she is weak. She is full of strength, which is somewhat similar to Figel.

Because she was wearing high heels, Lucrezia was almost as tall as Lu Mingfei. The huge dance floor became a venue for the two of them to perform solo. Lucrezia's white dress was like a white flower floating in the wind, attracting the attention of countless people.

Lucrecia whispered in Lu Mingfei's ear: "Do you know? My strong uncle will actually give in to the academy one day."

"You mean the inexplicable greeting on the phone during the day?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Yes, the principal is telling me in this way that the family is willing to reach a certain degree of cooperation with the academy." Lucrecia said, "My uncle did call me just now and told me that part of the preparation work for Seraph can be handed over to the people in the branch. The hangar can also be moved there."

“Is that so…” Lu Mingfei was a little surprised.

Judging from the degree of strict security of the maids, Seraph is definitely one of the most important secrets of the Gattuso family. They agreed to hand over such a thing to the Chinese branch for safekeeping. This is not just cooperation "to a certain extent".

"Yeah, I can't imagine what kind of expression he had when he agreed to all this." Lucrecia said, and then a look of regret appeared on her face, "Unfortunately, I didn't see it."

Lu Mingfei glanced at her. It seemed that in her eyes, the value of the Seraph was far less than letting her watch her uncle get humiliated. However, Lucrecia also said that going against these parents was one of her few pleasures.

This also shows that the power struggle at the top of Kassel College seems to be coming to an end, and the quarrels between the two forces seem to be gone forever.

Although Lu Mingfei wanted to say that this probably had nothing to do with him, the person dancing with him was the eldest daughter of the Gattuso family, the uncrowned princess of Rome. And he himself was called "Prince of Cassel" by Figel, which seemed to correspond to the two forces within the academy.

Hmm... this is quite subtle.

"I thought you would wear something very bright today." Lu Mingfei looked at Lucrecia and asked what he wanted to ask just now.

Lucrecia gave him the impression of being quite proud and high-profile. Although her white silk dress looked very valuable, it was also very graceful, like a noble or queen from the ancient Roman era, which made people not feel competitive at all.

But inexplicably, Lu Mingfei always felt that this plain color seemed to be more suitable for another person.

"That's what I had planned at first," Lucrecia replied, and then a subtle look appeared on her face, "but for some reason, I chose this approach."

"Compared to this, you seem to lack some enthusiasm." Lucrecia ended the previous topic and glanced at Su Xiaoqiang in the crowd outside the dance floor. "I saw the video of you and that girl dancing at the party. Even now, I still think that saving the situation was extremely clever."

She looked at Lu Mingfei again: "My idiot dad saw the same thing, and he shouted happily, 'I knew it, how could Qiao Weini's son be like Lu Lincheng, a bookworm who doesn't understand romance!' Then, you left a good impression on him."

Lu Mingfei wanted to cover his forehead and asked what the relationship between these three people was. Oh, no, including Chu Tianjiao, there should be four people.

Speaking of which, Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked into the crowd and did not see Chu Yuzhen. Although she did not look like someone who liked to attend banquets, she had taken the blame for today's free day, so she should also come to the celebration banquet in the evening.

"Hasn't anyone told you that it's rude to lose focus while dancing with a girl?" Lucrecia looked at him and chuckled. "But since you're the winner today and I'm just the loser, I'll just take this as the winner's privilege."

Lu Mingfei felt mixed emotions. It was not easy to make a strong girl like Lucrecia submit.

"What is the name of this song?" Lu Mingfei asked suddenly.

Lucrecia was stunned for a moment, but still answered: "Kaiser Walzer, the Chinese translation seems to be Emperor Waltz. This was used as the soundtrack in Sissi."

Kaiser means emperor in German, which is the same pronunciation as Caesar of Rome. It is said that after the death of Rome, Rome was everywhere, even Russia in the Far East called itself the Third Roman Empire, and the title of Tsar was also derived from Caesar.

What’s interesting is that among all the “successors”, the Holy Roman Empire was regarded as neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. This was the predecessor of Germany.
