The moment he saw the noble lady, the Duke couldn't help but frown.
Jing Chen also noticed the strange look in his father's eyes and cast his gaze over.
Then a middle-aged lady wearing a bright red dress appeared in his sight.
The lady looked to be about 50 years old. She wore heavy makeup, was dignified, held her head high, and had a serious look on her face. She looked like a nouveau riche hostess in a Western TV series who looks down on others.
But in fact, this person is indeed the hostess of a nouveau riche family.
"Mrs. Cruze Chevrolet."
When the name came out of the Duke's mouth, Jingchen almost said "fuck".
In the real world, their family's first car was a Chevrolet Cruze...
The author of rnm, even if he named a passerby, he wouldn't be so stupid. What does it mean to make a name out of a bunch of car names?
However, in this world view, there are no families with the same name for Japanese and Korean cars. This fact can be praised by the author.
After seeing the Duke, especially after seeing Jingchen, the disdainful look on Mrs. Chevy's face became even more obvious.
That look on his face seemed to say, I'm sorry you dared to bring your good-for-nothing son to such an occasion.
Then she said hello in a pretentious manner: "Long time no see, Duke Kalis. You look like you need more maintenance than before."
"And Mr. Kalis, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I feel completely different."
"You remember to wear formal attire to the banquet this time, although you look equally handsome in casual clothes."
I have to say that this kind of noble lady is really particular about yin and yang, and she specializes in poking at other people's dark history, and she doesn't forget to praise you when she talks about it.
On the contrary, the Duke was very gentleman. Even though the other party was mocking her like this, he said with a smile: "Long time no see, Mrs. Chevrolet looks better than before."
"Why is Earl Chevy nowhere to be seen? It's really unreasonable for him, the patriarch of the clan, not to attend the eighth master's birthday party."
This sentence does not seem to be a curse, but in fact it scolds a person completely.
At an important banquet for a nobleman, the male host did not come forward, but asked the hostess in the palace to come. What does it mean?
It means that either the male owner of the family is impotent and the woman is in charge of the family affairs.
Either this person is useless and can't get out.
The Chevrolet Earl actually belongs to the latter.
The lady also frowned, but quickly raised her head and raised the wine glass in her hand.
"I heard that the Kalis family has severed its cooperative relationship with the Alliance. This is not in line with your principles of doing things. There are many people from the Alliance coming to this meeting. Duke, you should take it seriously."
The Duke also said: "I don't need to worry about this."
......
After walking through another corridor, the three of them came to a deserted place. The Duke took several deep breaths to calm himself down.
Then he looked at his son with a smile and said: "Achen, you should eat and drink. You can go back in a while. Dad, I have to discuss business with others, so I will go back later today."
Jingchen asked: "Don't you need me to wait for you?"
The Duke thought it was funny and said: "Young man, please don't stay up late. I may talk about tomorrow morning during this trip. You go back and go to bed early and go to school as usual tomorrow."
"Ke'er, too. Young girls shouldn't stay up late, it's not good for their skin."
Ke'er nodded obediently and agreed, while Jing Chen took a deep look at his father.
"Okay, then don't drink too much, I can't lift you."
The Duke nudged him with his elbow.
"Hey! You boy."
Then the two of them watched the Duke until his figure blended into the crowd.
Miao Ke'er habitually did not ask Jing Chen what to do next, but looked at his expression at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Jingchen seemed very calm.
Miao Kerr couldn't bear the current situation where others were mocking her, but Jingchen actually acted normal.
To be honest, Ke'er couldn't understand Jingchen anymore.
Just when she was about to ask Jing Chen what to do next, Jing Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at her.
Then he said: "By the way, a banquet of this size should include barbecue."
"what?"
"Let's go to barbecue tonight!"
Jingchen was particularly excited.
67.Hello, my name is Sheila
"You're still in the mood to eat barbecue at this time!" Miao Ke'er looked at him angrily.
Jing Chen blinked and asked, "Why are you not in the mood? You must eat something. Do you usually eat well in the academy?"
Mu Ke'er said hurriedly: "That's not the problem. Didn't you see what others said about the Duke just now? Can you bear to expose your scars in front of so many people?"
To be honest, Ke'er almost couldn't help it.
She is already level 42, and is already unique in this country. Do she still have to endure it at this level?
However, regarding this question, Jing Chen also smiled, reached out and patted her shoulder gently, and said, "Worrying can lead to chaos. I can only say that you should calm down."
"As the leader of medicine in this country, our family provides medicine to the pharmacies below and the royal medicine depot every month. It can be said that with our dominant position in this industry, even if someone is really unhappy with us, we dare not act rashly. There are too many people’s interests involved in him.”
Ke'er said anxiously: "But where are the people from the alliance?"
Jing Chen smiled and said: "The dogs of the alliance are also eyeing us now, but it is not the time to completely eradicate us. They need to find an industry giant that can replace us. They will wait until they have eaten away most of our market share. Will really do it.”
Ke'er asked: "Where should we start?"
Jingchen said: "The most classic thing is to increase our taxes and then restrict the shipment of products, so that the drugs you produce are restricted from sale, or they cannot be sold directly and are put in crappy warehouses."
“Then the policy targeted the hidden profits of drugs, gradually reducing our labor income to close to zero, and then launched their own dogs, using forceful buying and selling methods to let dog drugs circulate in the market and become a new standard. "
"Pfft!"
Ke'er on the side suddenly smiled.
Jingchen said doubtfully: "You are so weird. When you talk about serious things, you laugh instead."
Kerr said: "I couldn't help it when I heard you talk about dog medicine. Your description is really... hahaha."
Jingchen couldn't help but laugh himself, and then held her little hand and led Ke'er to the second floor.
The second floor is a large cafeteria. Of course, when you look at it from the entrance, except for the colorful food colors, the rest is basically gold.
There are also many people gathered on the second floor. In addition to some small business owners who are indeed not well-known, the people who come here at this time are mostly young men and young ladies from big families.
They were basically all wearing a variety of formal or gorgeous party attire. The boys wore long slicked back hair that was not in line with their age, or wore hair wax and mohawks, while the girls wore long skirts, or even Everyone looks similar, only their clothes are different.
Jing Chen looked around and saw no one he recognized, let alone Ke'er.
But when the two of them opened the door on the second floor and walked into the hall, many people in the restaurant turned their eyes over.
When they saw Jing Chen, who was wearing a black suit and a fireworks perm, most people were stunned at first.
But they soon came to their senses, and the boys began to have disdain in their eyes, while some of the girls had amazement in their eyes.
Jingchen's outfit today completely portrays the image of a melancholy young man in terms of his temperament. The plain expression on his face and slightly lowered eyes simply accentuate his melancholy temperament to the extreme.
However, most people's eyes are still more willing to stay on Miao Ker next to Jingchen.
In the eyes of outsiders, Miao Kerr was shining like a star under the soft light. Her face was as shy as a little girl's, which made this magical costume even more attractive to her. The pure feeling is highlighted on the body.
It gives people the image of an inexperienced little princess, beautiful and cute.
However, she was holding hands with Jing Chen at the moment.
The two of them appeared together, so it seems they have an unusual relationship.
Many people have visible envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes.
So when Jingchen and Keer were wandering around the restaurant looking for barbecue, the guy with a back-to-back head who was closest to them said in a strange way: "Hey, isn't this Jingchen? It's really surprising that you actually came to participate. It’s a party.”
Jing Chen glanced over at him, smiled and said hello.
"Hello."
But in fact, he didn't even know who they were.
Soon the young man turned his attention to the pretty Ke'er beside Jingchen, his expression suddenly became richer and his waist straightened.
"This young lady is really dazzling. I am Emil Seth. May I have your last name?"
As he spoke, he pretended to perform a knightly salute.
To be honest, even after three years of grooming education, the servility in Miao Keer's heart will be subconsciously expressed when she really meets these noble sons and daughters.
So when faced with other people's gentlemanly greetings, she still lowered her head slightly and subconsciously avoided them.
Seeing this, Jing Chen held her hand a little harder.
"Brother, this is my fiancée, and she will have the same last name as me from now on."
When the word fiancée was spoken from Jingchen's mouth, he could feel more shock in the eyes of the people around him.
Because Jingchen and Miao Keer both look like they are seventeen years old. Are they getting married at this age?
Most of the boys and girls present were dressed up carefully, with the purpose of treating this banquet as a large blind date. If they behave well here and find someone they like, they will go to the hotel as soon as the banquet is over and wait for the next day. Basically it can be officially announced.
But no one expected that this guy would bring his wife with him as soon as he came up, which immediately changed the atmosphere of this place where singles gather.
It has become an entertainment place for couples, although it is only this one couple.
"fiancée......"
When she was said to be her fiancée, Ke'er's pretty face immediately turned red, and she was left speechless.
But soon, a very familiar voice came from behind Mu Ker.
"Miao Ke'er?"
When she heard someone calling her name, Ke'er turned around in shock. At this time, a girl wearing a light blue dress suddenly appeared in her sight.
And Ke'er also recognized the other party at first sight.
"Sheila?"
The person standing behind her was Silla, who she had just met this morning.
Seeing that it was indeed Miao Keer, Silla, who had always felt a little bored, quickly became excited and was about to rush up to say hello to her, but then her eyes noticed Jing Chen beside her.
Naturally, Jingchen saw her for the first time.
The two looked at each other for a short while, and then both looked away.
Jing Chen said hello first with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Jingchen."
Silla also said with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Sheila McLaren."
68. Long time no see
Jing Chen was personable here, but Silla simply dropped the cumbersome lady etiquette after saying hello.
She quickly walked in front of the two of them, held her hands behind her back, smiled at Jing Chen and said, "Bi Yong is so polite, Mr. Jing, we met when school started, right?"
"They are all students from the Wood Academy. It would be nice to be more relaxed."
