At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Ming and Caitlin came to the Violet Hotel again, and this time, they still came to Princess Louise's appointment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As a princess, Louise chose a private room in the very court, or rather a private room in a hotel, better than an outdoor garden restaurant in the castle. It was under a specially tended grape trellis, surrounded by fragrant flowers and plants, and the candles and lights made the whole environment feel real and illusory, and the beautiful environment made people believe that they were coming to a banquet of a royal family, rather than just a meal.
When Zhou Ming and Caitlin arrived here, there were already a lot of people here, according to Zhou Ming's memory, many of these people had been seen in the hall of Harusburg, and judging from the situation of this dinner, Louise's performance today obviously made them want to find a second option other than Andre.
These people may not be smart, but at least their reaction is very fast and has no bottom line, otherwise they couldn't wait to jump out and take the initiative to meet Caitlin in the afternoon after seeing Louise stand up and openly question Andre and pull Caitlyn by the hand.
Zhou Ming thought so in his heart, and then he also said to Caitlin that these guys may be more difficult than Andre, after all, Andre only needs to slap him in the face, but these people have to deal with countless laughs and hidden knives.
First of all, they came to support Caitlin, although only on the surface, but it was also support, which could not be slapped in the face, but since they were not really supportive, there would be other problems, and they were even looking forward to finding out where Caitlin's problem was, which made people have to guard against it.
They walked into the box under the guidance of the waiter, and Louise beckoned to them happily: "Look, our protagonist has finally arrived today!"
Zhou Ming and Caitlyn came in and greeted these people with a smile, and finally sat down on the seat that Louise arranged for them, Caitlyn deliberately said to her under Zhou Ming's signal: "Auntie, I really didn't expect there to be so many people here, I thought it was the same as before, there were only three of us!"
Louise smiled and told Caitlin: "I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance, but it doesn't matter, because you need to know these people, they are all very important members of the family, of course, the most important thing is that they don't support Andre inheriting the family, I think Caitlin you are another better choice for them." β
"This is really happy news, so I'm sorry for you, auntie. Caitlin said.
Then Louise introduced everyone present to Caitlin one by one, and Zhou Ming and Caitlin also greeted them one by one, although it was impossible for them to call them again one by one at the end of the meal, but at least now that they were at the same table, that was an attitude.
The dinner is the most common kind of dinner among the aristocracy, which is basically compliments and politeness between each other, and countless nonsense.
The whole meal lasted for nearly three hours, and by the end of the day, Zhou Ming felt that his spirit was extremely tired, he would rather face Andre and fight him for three hundred rounds, at least the goal was clear and direct, there was no need to talk to these hypocrites here wearing masks, every sentence had to be repeated in his mind several times before he could say it, and he also had to think about the words of the other party around a few corners.
But even if it's over, Zhou Ming still has to cheer up, because Louise is still here.
"Although I understand that my performance today is still a little unsatisfactory, as long as my attitude is shown, it is easy to get the support of these members who oppose Andre. "And it was very successful today, because AndrΓ© had been trying to create a way of being raised to the throne by all the members to show that he was expected to be, and this was the first time he had acted so blatantly arbitrarily today." β
"This is also thanks to your statement, aunt, otherwise Andre would never have been like this, and Zhou Ming and I would not have been so reckless before. Caitlin said.
Louise smiled and acquiesced to this statement, and then said: "But although these guys took the initiative to come to the door because of today's incident, it doesn't mean that you can believe that they really support you, they are more, just to put some weight on your side, that's all." β
This reminder is a bit surprising, but it's normal to think about it, after all, they are also allies now, and it would be too much to do some of the things that should be reminded if they don't do it.
Therefore, Zhou Ming and Caitlin also smiled and thanked Louise, and then Zhou Ming asked again: "But Her Royal Highness the Princess, but I think Andre's sudden departure today is also very strange, I don't know what you think?"
Louise frowned and thought for a moment and said: "This is indeed very strange, and Andre just lost this hand, it is impossible to give up, but it is difficult to judge what he will do, especially since he has to wait for five days later, it is even more difficult to understand, maybe he will wait for the matter of Fuge Bank to be dealt with, can he free his hand?"
Louise looked at Zhou Ming as she spoke, and Zhou Ming told her: "I will continue to let Joros do it, but Fugue Bank is a strong bank, once he is prepared, it will be difficult to speculate; β
"Since we have money, as long as they mobilize the funds in place, we can't do anything, especially if Joros is on the road alone with such a large sum of cash, which is also impossible. β
Zhou Ming said that at the end, he changed his words: "But I always feel that since he opened his mouth in five days, I think his matter must not be so simple." β
In the end, Zhou Ming and Louise still didn't have an answer to what Andre was going to do, but anyone could imagine that Andre was going to do something unusual.
Since this question was inconclusive, Zhou Ming and Caitlin ended the dinner with Louise after that, and when they returned to the hotel room, Caitlin suddenly asked, "Zhou Ming, do you think that today's dinner is the attitude that my aunt and those people deliberately made to show us?"
Zhou Ming was confused by this sudden question, and Zhou Ming was stunned and said, "Why do you think so? I don't think so, because your aunt is not so necessary." β
Caitlin replied embarrassedly that she guessed from Zhou Ming's attitude today, which made Zhou Ming a little crying and laughing.
"It's true that a lot of things are politics, and the so-called supporters who came here today are also here to do superficial work, but your aunt, as a princess, is not so unconfident in her abilities. Zhou Ming said, "As for my worries today, it is actually with Andre. β
"You're not sure what he's going to be going to do in the next five days, are you?" asked Caitlyn.
"If he's going to have a meeting tomorrow, then I don't have anything to worry about, because he can't prepare anything in one night, but five days is different. Zhou Ming said, "I think it was only five days from the time I decided to short the pound and Joros started to sell the pound, and the Bank of England took the initiative to surrender and admit defeat, so now it is another five days, and I have no way to guess what he will prepare." β
Caitlin also felt the eyes of the matter, but she still said: "But that was Zhou Ming, you did it, Andre shouldn't be able to do this, right?"
Zhou Ming shook his head: "Maybe he can't do this, but since he is so confident that he has to wait for five days, I think there must be a surprise." β
Caitlin asked what to do, Zhou Ming thought for a moment and then said: "Let's respond to all changes with the same, on the premise of not knowing what he is going to do, we will do our own defense, and it is not too late to make a decision after knowing his preparation." β
......
Meanwhile, in Harusburg, AndrΓ© was sitting in his study, when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the study, and the castle's butler entered.
"Sir, as you expected, Princess Louise had dinner with Zhou Ming Caitlin tonight, and with them, there were many other members of the family. The housekeeper told Andrei.
Andre was not surprised by this at all, he just asked lightly: "Then have you found out who it is?"
Faced with this question, the butler became a little embarrassed: "Sir, I'm very sorry, since they were having dinner in the palace box of the Violet Hotel, and the rules there don't allow guests to be checked, so I don't know." β
"Shit!" Andre scolded, "If you have this rule, don't you know how to figure it out at all? For example, go to the parking lot and wait to see who gets on the bus, and then compare it with the people who came to the hall to attend the meeting today?
Andre's words made the butler suddenly realize, but it was obviously too late at this time, so he could only keep apologizing to Andre.
In the end, Andre waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, in fact, even if you don't find out, I can guess who it is, which pig brains are the same thing, their vision is always so short, just like a certain part of their body, do they think that Caitlin can win me with Louise's support? It's just wishful thinking!"
"That's right, the Harusburg family is the most reassuring to have a leader like you, sir. The butler patted his ass.
AndrΓ© was so pleased with this that he then added: "This must be the final result, but the process in between cannot be ignored, and they must be wondering why I would ask for five days to start this meeting later, right?"
Andre said this with a very sinister smile: "I did this so that there would be no more uncertainties in the meeting, I have no interest in talking to that Chinese man, I just want to use this time to finalize everything!"
In the end, Andre became hideous: "Wait for me, those bastards who ride the wall, when I inherit the family, I will take revenge on you one by one!"
