When Edward and his entourage negotiated the terms, they said goodbye to those people and followed Zhou Ming into Quincy's restaurant. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Mr. Zhou Ming, I think the friend you decided to meet today must have a very good relationship with you, right? I don't know if it was a professor at Harvard University or a scholar? Or a woman? I know that you had a very close relationship with your female homeroom teacher during your time at Harvard. ”

Edward was guessing who Zhou Ming was having dinner with today, and Zhou Ming glanced at him with a smile: "I didn't expect the news of Mr. Governor to be well-informed!"

Edward was a little embarrassed, but the face of a politician like him had long been tempered, so it didn't matter: "It's just caused by some reasons in the past, but this also shows that Mr. Zhou Ming is very attractive in disguise, isn't it?"

"Mr. Governor's words are very good, but the woman I met today is really a woman, but she should not be from Harvard, but you must know him, Mr. Governor. ”

Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Edward breathed a sigh of relief, but Edward didn't know that Zhou Ming just said a fact, Zhou Ming really didn't understand the other party, he just heard Du Peng say it.

"It's good that I know each other, and just now I was a little worried that if I didn't know Mr. Zhou Ming's friend, would the scene become embarrassing because of my presence!" Edward said.

Edward's words were sincere, in fact, he regretted a little when he said that he wanted to go to the appointment with Zhou Ming, he did doubt that Zhou Ming came to the Quincy Restaurant to make an appointment without informing him, but it seemed that there was no problem with Zhou Ming's calm performance, if he arrived at the restaurant and found that the other party did not know him, wouldn't the scene be very embarrassing? In front of Zhou Ming, he didn't think that his status as governor could be of much use at most.

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "There will definitely be such a thing as embarrassment, so in order to avoid even more embarrassment at that time, I will first tell the identity of the person I met with Mr. Governor Hello, her name is Caitlin." ”

Edward was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, and then laughed: "This is really a very nice name, I don't know what her identity is?" Because the girls who usually take this name are generally very beautiful and elegant, but maybe my memory is not very good, because I don't remember such a very important person, what kind of investor is she?"

"Her name is Theresia Caitlin F. Harusburg, I don't know if Mr. Governor remembers that?" Zhou Ming said deliberately.

Edward was stunned again, but then laughed without embarrassment: "Mr. Zhou Ming, you can really joke. ”

Zhou Ming spread his hands: "I also think I'm joking, but I'm sorry I'm not, what I want to see is the princess of Harusburg, and the highness who is now helping the Addams family." ”

Edward said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I know that it is very impolite for me to go rashly, and my act of distrusting you has deeply hurt you, but please forgive me, you really don't need to say this about yourself. ”

Zhou Ming was helpless, what he said was the truth, but Edward didn't believe it, then Zhou Ming believed that someone had said before that the best way to hide the truth was to tell the truth in a joking way, and for Edward, he felt that if Zhou Ming really met Caitlin, then he should also avoid himself with the utmost care, how could he take himself to the appointment so calmly?

Of course, maybe this time it was an accident, and it was hit by an unintentional change in his itinerary, but even so, then he had to find another way to resolve it, how could he be so reckless?

It is also under this logic that Edward thinks that it is his distrust that makes Zhou Ming sad, and Zhou Ming will angrily say that the date is Caitlin, but he knows that Zhou Ming is a very honest child, and he did not play the routines of those city people.

In this regard, Zhou Ming could only shrug his shoulders and whatever he thought, and then they came to the box of the restaurant together, because the agreed time was twelve o'clock, the time had not yet arrived, and the girl was obviously unlikely to arrive early, so she could only choose to wait for a while.

As the clock approached twelve, there was a knock on the door of the box, and a very beautiful girl entered the room.

The girl's skin was very fair, with big beautiful eyes like two sapphires, a high nose and small lips, and this beautiful face was the most perfect work made by God. She wears a purple top hat and a long black waistcoat, which looks casual and casual, but it is perfect, reflecting the pride of her Harusburg family.

She was undoubtedly Caitlin, the princess of Harusburg, but Her Royal Highness's grace did not last long, and then she was stunned, obviously she saw Edward sitting next to Zhou Ming.

Why is the governor of the Kendini family here?

Caitlyn couldn't figure it out, and Edward on the other side was of course confused, his eyes widened, as if he had seen an alien, but he didn't have time to surprise Caitlyn's beauty now, he was more surprised by Caitlin's identity, surprised at how she was here.

However, compared to Caitlin and Edward's stunned expressions, Zhou Ming had already expected this situation, after all, he brought it to him! So he took the initiative to stand up and say: "Actually, this situation is a very unexpected situation, I don't want to be like this, I also know that you must have a lot to say in your hearts, this is also the original intention of today's dinner, so let's sit down and talk about it, I will also explain to you the reason for the current situation." ”

The first to come back to her senses was Catelyn, she glanced at Zhou Ming with complicated eyes, and the female bodyguard next to her seemed to persuade her to leave, but Catelyn thought about it for a while but did not leave, but took a deep breath and sat opposite Zhou Ming.

Seeing that Caitlyn had all sat down, Edward naturally came back to his senses, he turned his head to look at Zhou Ming and asked, "I need an explanation, what's going on?"

Zhou Ming spread his hands at this and replied helplessly: "Mr. Governor, from the moment we entered the door, I have already told you that the person I am meeting with is Her Royal Highness Princess Catelyn, but you don't believe it, this is also to blame me? Besides, I also said a long time ago, I want to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Catelyn." ”

Edward was dumbfounded when he heard Zhou Ming say this, because it was true that Zhou Ming had been emphasizing to him the object of meeting just now, but the question was that how did he know that Zhou Ming was telling the truth? God, from a standpoint, Caitlyn is their opponent, and you secretly make an appointment with your opponent in private, and you still say it to your own people so openly, how can you think that it doesn't make logical sense, right?

As for Zhou Ming saying that he wanted to meet Caitlin, Edward also remembered that there was such a thing, but did he remember that he was not very angry at the time?

"Mr. Zhou Ming, this joke seems to be a bit too big!" said Edward, with a stiff expression.

On the other side, Caitlin's expression was also very playful, and she said to Zhou Ming: "Although I don't know what happened, it seems that you yourself seem to have a very serious disagreement, is it Mr. Zhou Ming, you didn't tell the truth? Didn't you plan to bring Mr. Edward over?"

I'm hungry enough to want to bring him here, or if I can plan for this, why should I use such complicated means of communication?

Zhou Ming shouted loudly in his heart, but he still said calmly on the surface: "On the contrary, it was I who told the truth but Mr. Governor didn't believe it. ”

Zhou Ming continued: "Of course, this was also an accident, because today I originally planned for a date between the two of us, and I didn't plan to bring Mr. Governor over, but it was unfortunate that we happened to meet outside the restaurant just now, and Mr. Governor was very curious and wanted to come and see, and this was the result." ”

Zhou Ming's explanation made Caitlin even more puzzling: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I don't know if I have misunderstood, you said that you didn't discuss coming with Mr. Edward, but you met at the door of the restaurant today, and he wanted to come to the dinner together, so you brought him here." ”

Zhou Ming snapped his fingers and said happily: "Her Royal Highness Caitlyn is worthy of being the heir of Harusburg's heavy cultivation, and he is really smart, and he will understand it at once." ”

Receiving Zhou Ming's praise, Caitlin was not only not happy at all, but was very annoyed, with an unacceptable expression: "My God, how can you do such a thing?

Zhou Ming spread his hands: "But I have no other way, His Royal Highness Caitlin, the channel for us to pass on news to each other is too difficult, and it took a lot of effort to agree to meet here this time, if I give up this opportunity, I'm not sure there will be another chance, and this is also a test of trust between us, imagine if any of us miss the appointment this time, then even if there is a next time, will we still trust each other?"

Caitlin was silent, she knew that Zhou Ming's worry was indeed the most troublesome thing between them, because there was no direct communication between them, this time it was through the homophonic code words of the company's name that the meeting was determined, which can be said to be very difficult, because if one party is careless, it may not be able to find out.

It is precisely because there is no direct communication channel that the trust between the two parties has become a very serious problem, because no one knows whether the other party really wants to meet or whether this is a conspiracy, which is especially true for Zhou Ming, after all, this is the message that Zhou Ming first transmitted, and once Zhou Ming misses the appointment, then Caitlin may think that she is misjudged, or she may think that Zhou Ming is playing with her, or she may not be able to decipher the code words.

Either way, it would be fatal to their already fragile trust.

But the problem is, if you Zhou Ming are worried about the trust with me, aren't you worried about the trust with the Kendini family? At this sensitive moment, when the Addams family is suppressing the Kendini family in all directions, you secretly go to see the other party in private, this is a kind of betrayal at all!

When Zhou Ming and Caitlin were chatting, Edward on the other side suddenly realized something, and he asked, "Wait a minute, Mr. Zhou Ming, what did you just say about your channel for delivering news?

Eventually, Edward noticed the point.

Zhou Ming thought to himself, and then Zhou Ming replied: "In fact, I haven't had any direct contact with Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Caitlin took Zhou Ming's words at the right time and said, "That's right, our contact is carried out by mutual competition, which is the matter of Trefen Company and Keyi Company. ”
