Sitting in his office, Abrun looked at the news bulletin from South America on his computer screen, shaking his head slightly and muttering, "That's crazy...... Who needs so much high-quality soil besides here. ”

On the guest sofa opposite him, it was suddenly the former U.S. ambassador to South Korea, who had left office, that is, Ebrun's father, and Phoebe's second adoptive father, Katyn.

Katyn was also looking at something, and after hearing Epbron's self-talk, he looked at him with a frown and said, "What are you looking at when you choose the style of your engagement ring?"

"......" Ebrun craned.

Ka Ting shook his head again and said, "I should really go to the beach with Jane." ”

Ebrun hurriedly laughed and said, "Oh daddy, you can't do this to me, I'm the only boy in our family, if you don't help me, do you want me to go out and find a random man to help?"

Katyn shook his head and said, "Those alumni of yours are stupid, they can't even pass such a simple review!" After Katyn finished speaking, he reached out and nodded in the direction of his son, and said: "If I were you, I would definitely work hard to expand my circle of friends after becoming the president of the company, but look at you!

"......" Ebrun craned his neck again, hiding his head behind a computer monitor.

"Don't be like an ostrich! I don't understand why Barbara would agree to marry you!" Katyn was angry when he saw his son's neck shrinking.

Eblon felt that it was a mistake to ask his father for help in negotiating his engagement, and that his father, who had been very pleasant, had suddenly become like a tyrant these days—well, who had let his affairs disturb the two of them from traveling around the world with his wife Jane after leaving office?

Although it is true that this is their biological son's engagement ceremony, before that, Phoebe has already helped to formulate a complete plan for the engagement ceremony, giving a total of more than 200 pages of plans including jewelry, clothing, etiquette, guests, venues, drinks and food supplies, etc. After Jane spent three days reading the plan, she decided to leave her son's engagement alone, because Phoebe was too capable, and as long as she carried out the plan she gave, an upper-class engagement ceremony that was in line with etiquette and interests could be displayed in a small family like them without relying on external forces.

Now that we have said this, we must first explain another thing, that is, some of the origins of engagement ceremonies in Europe and the United States.

As we all know, although the feudal feudal system was adopted in Europe in history, because the vast majority of Europe at that time was an agricultural economy, to be precise, a small peasant economic model, so that the territory of the lower nobles who owned the mining was not attractive, so most of the lower nobles preferred to go to the core territory of the big nobles, or the city where the king and duke lived, and of course, at the same time, they could also socialize with each other, making the connection between the nobles more close.

The system of fiefdom is not only for reward, but also for the purpose of stabilizing the territory that has been conquered, and after these lower-class nobles have appointed tax collectors in their territories, they rarely return to their territories.

The problem is that at that time, since the territory of the lower nobles was an agricultural economic model, it was bound to lead to no pastime at all, and it was difficult for the lower nobles to stay in their own territory.

So, the upper nobles came up with a way, that is, to give the lower nobles the right of the first night, which is one of the rare pleasures that the lower nobles can find in the territory, of course, because of the right of the first night, the lower nobles began to frequently inspect their own territory, so as to see whose daughter is old......

Don't forget, where there is oppression, there is resistance, the civilians in various territories, naturally do not like the lord to enjoy the right of the first night, so, there are often unmarried girls that the lord saw last month, this month, everyone has been married for a few days, the lord can't eat the leftovers of the civilians, right?

It can be said that although the number of visits to the territory by the lower nobles has become more frequent because of the right of the first night, they are always fooled by the untouchables, so the lower nobles have killed many civilians who disrespect orders for this reason - however, killing too many people will naturally damage the scale of the agricultural economy, so for the lower nobles, the right of the first night makes them feel very troublesome.

Therefore, another upper-class nobleman came up with an idea, since there are marriages between our nobles, and there are also engagement ceremonies for the purpose of agreeing on the details of the marriage, so why can't the commoners also get engaged before getting married? You know, because the engagement ceremony needs to discuss the exchange of interests and the combination of interests between the two families, so there are many people involved, and more high-status witnesses are needed. And in the territories of the lower nobles, although there is no such thing as an alliance of interests and exchange of interests between the two families before the commoner gets married, we can let them have it!

Therefore, the engagement ceremony, which originally appeared between the upper classes for the change of interests involved in marriage, was extended to the commoners at the bottom of the society, and the lower class nobles could easily find out the brides to be married because of the engagement ceremony, so as not to miss any opportunity to exercise the right of the first night.

That is to say, the engagement ceremony of the upper class appeared because of the need to adjust the interest relationship between the families and the affiliated forces of the two parties to the marriage, as well as to negotiate related interests, while the civil engagement ceremony appeared because the lord needed to implement the right of the first night.

The nature of the engagement ceremony between Ebron and Barbara naturally belongs to the former, although on the surface, the union of the two can be relatively simple, but in fact, both Ebron and Barbara understand that since Phoebe takes these two families as the core and Onclaude as the appearance, a new alliance of interests has emerged between the lower families of the diplomatic bloc, and the bond of alliance naturally needs to be strengthened in the traditional way, that is, marriage.

Speaking of which, the wedding of Mira and Troy can also be regarded as the marriage of the core of the new interest consortium, but because of the lack of quality of Troy itself, Mila has a background in the State Department and the Senate, and has not joined Onclaude or participated in the work involving this new interest alliance (at least for now), so the engagement and wedding of the two can only be regarded as the engagement ceremony and wedding rehearsal of Ebrun and Barbara, and even many people think that Troy is stupid......

With this in mind, it is clear why Phoebe had to make a plan of more than two hundred pages, and why Katyn had to stay behind and review with Ebron what they were going to do in the plan - after all, he was the head of the family, and at the engagement ceremony, he was required to represent the family and engage in complex social activities with the guests with the male head of the other family.

Of course, Jane is not without something to do, but the maintenance helmet alliance that Phoebe got before has made it unnecessary for her to focus on social activities before and after the engagement ceremony, so at this time, Jane is being "caught" by her personally Valerie, the second daughter, is enjoying the man-made sea river that treats the Atlantic floaters, and one of the reasons why Valerie is willing to stay is that it is not only beautifully built, but also uses tides and water hammer pumps to attract some interesting marine animals, especially intelligent marine mammals, which are simply fun...... As for the man-made beach, because the construction has not yet been completed, the marine animals over there are not as fun as the man-made sea river......

And after Eblon read the plan, he understood that his righteous sister was in charge of God, but other people's plans are perfect, what can you do, and after reading the plan, he understands that in fact, Phoebe has made himself much easier, but because his father's responsibilities have suddenly become more, and it has become more in a short period of time, it is normal for him to become a little impatient, in fact, before reading the plan, although Eblon faintly felt that the family's status has been improved because of his position as the president of Unclave, but he does not understand the status of his family after reading the plan, which is no longer an improvement, but a big jump, which in itself is also good for him.

Fortunately, Ebrun has been "bullied" by the women in his family since he was a child, so he has little resistance to Phoebe even interfering in his engagement ceremony, and as I said before, Ebrun was not born in a high-class middle-class family, but from an upper-class family, and his outlook on life and career since he was a child is different from most people, which is why the whole circle will easily accept him as the president of Unclad before.

As for whether this will make him seem unmanly and incompetent?

Obviously not, after all, he also came from the West Point Military Academy, and his ability, in fact, has been tested as early as that time, and under the complicated relationship, his ability to serve as the first president of Onclay for nearly a year is even more undoubted.

Moreover, under the leadership of Ebron, Onclaude also accomplished several things, such as purchasing soil from South America, and for example, negotiating with major countries in the world and the United Nations Space Committee on the identification and identification of space legacy and obsolete satellites. That's right, in the orbital garbage, some of them are indeed scrapped satellites, but there are also some secret satellites or dormant satellites of capable countries, since Onclaude wants to carry out orbital garbage recycling, he naturally can't avoid these, so he needs to negotiate secretly with various capable countries, so that others can understand that Onclave's orbital garbage recycling program is not aimed at them, but it is also to remind countries to hurry up and say those "scrapped" satellites, which ones are really scrapped, and which ones are not......

The difficulty of such negotiations is definitely far beyond imagination, but this guy Ebron, in a daze, has done this, at least Onclaude has in his hands a statistical information on space satellites, including the satellites of various countries and secret satellites, although the agreement on Onclaude cannot leak this statistical information to other countries - well, the United States - but, in any case, Onclaude, the name of Abron, still spread among the high-level of various capable countries.

What is this, not the ability?

You know, many people, including Phoebe, believe that such negotiations will take at least three or five years, so that Titan, or Onclaude's orbital garbage recycling business, will have to risk "mistakenly" receiving a secret satellite of a certain country. Fortunately, in Phoebe's view, this kind of risk does not matter, anyway, doesn't your country say that it is a scrapped satellite on the surface? The big deal is that we will return the recovered satellite to you, of course, for various reasons, we need to go through nine months of biological inactivation and isolation testing before we can return it, because it is also necessary to avoid the radiation from outer space causing specific changes in the earth's bacteria or viruses attached to the surface and interior of the satellite, which will have a bad impact on the earth's ecology, right?

It is precisely because of Ebling's outstanding work that Titan and Onclaude have avoided the trouble of "mistakenly" receiving satellites from other countries.

In any case, Ebron's own ability is recognized by the vast majority of people, including Phoebe, but in the matter of engagement, it does make Ebron's slightly cocked little tail rest again, because he finds that compared to his sister Phoebe, he is still far behind, and he can now catch up with Mira, who has always been a role model for Jane's family.

However, because Phoebe also discussed some applications of Atlantic floaters with Ebron many times, and even gave Eblon the right to enter the three underground floors at will, making Ebron a special existence independent of the Titan management system, but enjoying the rights of Titans.

Although for the sake of Phoebe's face, the Titan did not say anything, but many people felt that because of the complex composition of Un Claude's employees, and Eblon was only Phoebe's brother, his authority should be further restricted.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, the marriage between Ebron and Barbara also has an element that reassures the Titan - he will not only be Phoebe's brother in the future, but also the husband of Barbara, an important member of Titan, according to the current values of the Titans, that is, the value of being hired by the company as a family unit, Ebron will be regarded as his own person.

And this own person, like Barbara, has a deep relationship with the original forces of the United States, especially the military forces and the forces of the diplomatic system, which is naturally a good thing for Titan, of course, Barbara has a deep relationship with the diplomatic forces and the intelligence forces, and from a certain point of view, the combination of the people in the US intelligence system and the military, the combination of the two, also thinks so.

Because of the above-mentioned major factors, the scale of the engagement ceremony of Ebron and Barbara will even be very grand, after all, the people present are guests of various interest groups and circles, so there are not many things about Ebron on the day of the engagement ceremony, but there will naturally be countless things about Katyn.

So, in fact, it seems that Katyn is accompanying Ebron, but in fact it is Katyn who catches Eblon to accompany him, or Ebron will definitely run to accompany Jane and Valerie to his turf, the Atlantic Floaters.

Again, so, in fact, the three sets of rings that Ebron prepared for Barbara had actually been selected a long time ago, and the one who proposed was already on Barbara's hand, and the engaged one was placed on the bedside table in Ebron's bedroom, next to the wedding ring, and Katyn caught Ebron to accompany him, so he naturally wanted to tell Ebron to do something, so he began to accuse Abrun of choosing the ring too casually, and asked him to pick another one, at least not only look at the works of famous Swiss jewelry designers, but also look at the British, German, and French ones, anyway, it can't make Eblon easy……

Again, fortunately, Abrun has been used to being "bullied" since he was a child, and it is not a big deal for his father to bully himself, but when he looks at the photos of the ring, he secretly reads the things he is concerned about recently, such as the South American soil that has been hyped by unscrupulous capital businessmen, and the news of some farms in South America that have suddenly become barren because of the digging up of a large amount of high-quality soil......
