Chapter 285: What Day Is Today?
"It's not your time yet. As soon as Grandmother Christine saw Zhao Wen and Zhao Xiaolan coming, she knew that something bad was going to happen, and said coldly to Zhao Wen's mother and daughter: "Don't break the rules." ”
"Rules, I said grandma, do you have to mention the rules when you invite individuals?" When she got to the front, Zhao Wen suddenly felt that she was not so nervous, "This is the vice president of Shiya Group, Your Excellency Ling Tian, he is the special guest I invited tonight." ”
"Elwin. Christine's grandmother angrily called out Zhao Wen's English name.
"You crossed the line, don't you know what day it is, do you know that you are very rude like this, how will you serve the public in the future. Zach also said gloomily.
"What day is today, I'll tell you. ”
Zhao Wen turned to face everyone and said loudly: "I, Alvin Pascrit, the eldest daughter of Quentin Passlit, as the heir of Count Tuaron, I sincerely welcome you to this reception, thank you." ”
Bang Bang Bang ......
Jenny and Aya put down their wine glasses and applauded, as did Zhao Xiaolan and Ling Tian.
Many people nearby have actually guessed that Zhao Wen is the protagonist tonight, but at present, Pastry is still in charge of Grandmother Christine and Zack, what is going on with Elwen, whether it is a rumor or not, they are not sure, plus these people in the upper circle are very cautious, so they are very tacitly silent.
Hearing Zhao Wen's direct identification, no one questioned it, and some people began to applaud, and then more and more people applauded.
The scene was overwhelmed by applause.
Zhao Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she didn't have a mess, just now she looked at death as home, and for the first time in her life, she understood what the sentence meant, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.
Christine's grandmother and Zack's faces became more and more gloomy, Zhao Wen was going to step on the rhythm of their superiority, she was so disobedient and didn't follow their script, they had repeatedly told Zhao Wen the whole process before.
"Hmph, little girl who has not dried up. Grandmother Christine snorted coldly in her heart, did not take the opportunity to introduce Zhao Wen, and did not say anything else, with a smile on her old face, looking at the guests.
Since Zhao Wen has revealed her identity, the people at the scene must also greet her, at least say hello, but when they saw Christine's grandmother and Zack, smiling and standing silently, they immediately knew what was going on.
Many people are beginning to weigh up.
For a moment, there were still some people who came to Zhao Wen, but there were also some people who didn't move, applauding is one thing, and coming over is another, whether this is standing in line, supporting the authority of Christine's grandmother and Zack, or supporting the new earl.
Christine's grandmother's eyes swept over, and those who didn't go to Zhao Wen to say hello were mainly the senior executives and shareholders of the family business, and they couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to stand in line. She nodded slightly, but she was still a little angry, because many down-and-out nobles at the scene actually went to Zhao Wen.
The hereditary aristocracy is not all beautiful, some people can't invest in business, the family gradually declines, and there is no property, and they can't afford to enter politics and enter the upper house, but they have to maintain the living standard of the hereditary nobility for the sake of the nobles' face, so most of these people are in debt.
Not only Tyre, but also other countries in Europe had many such nobles, mostly on finance and loans.
"Abominable opportunists. ”
Christine and Zach almost snorted, looking at the eyes of those down-and-out nobles with contempt, these people can't get into their eyes, and these people can't turn over the wind and waves.
After a few more minutes, a squire at the door ran in and whispered to Christine's grandmother and Zach.
Christine and Zach immediately walked to the door.
"Lady Christine, it's an honor to see you again. "It was a middle-aged man, with a Mediterranean on his head, a smug suit, followed by two people behind him, and he greeted Christine first, and then Zach.
"Mayor Ellison, it's a great honor to have you here. Christine's grandmother smiled, Ellison was an old acquaintance of hers, and her deceased husband was a good friend like Baizi.
"Oh, Mayor Ellison is here. ”
"Hello, Mr. Ellison. ”
"Mayor, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Tyre does not have the usual provinces or regions of European countries, with the municipality being the largest local administrative unit, followed by towns, villages, and the like.
Mayor Ellison is currently the biggest bigwig at the reception, a political star, and is said to be actively preparing to run for the House of Commons, and many people at the scene have shaken hands.
"Hello, Mayor Ellison, I'm Alvin Pascrit, and welcome. Zhao Wen also came over to say hello to the mayor.
"Miss Erwen, it's an honor to see you. Ellison just greeted Zhao Wen politely and respectfully, directly ignoring Zhao Xiaolan, and didn't even add the honorific title unique to aristocrats as usual.
Then, Ellison followed Christine to the side, and the people who greeted him just now didn't follow him, the level was not enough, and it was good to be able to show his face.
Before Christine left, she glanced at Zhao Wen defiantly, and said in her heart, you are still tender.
"It's okay, he's Christine's man in the first place. Ling Tian said lightly.
"Thank you, Brother Ling Tian, I know. Zhao Wen shrugged, she felt that she was a little into the role, and she really didn't take it seriously.
After all, she has just started her current identity, and she doesn't have the habits of those nobles, and it is already a great honor to be able to greet a big man who is equivalent to a high-ranking official.
"Hi Westin, you're late. A middle-aged man with a big belly had just come in, and Zach walked over and greeted him.
Westin is the owner of this St. Beña Hotel, although the St. Beña Hotel is very famous, he is not as high as Mayor Ellison, and he came so late because he was too busy to catch up with the time.
"Hello Zach, your invitation, I must come. Westin laughed, familiar with Zach, "The security department is under a lot of pressure today, and I, the boss, have to do it myself, so I'm late." ”
