Joshua was bored watching the various military music performed on stage. He turned his head to look at his good buddy Sima Fan. Although this good buddy's name is a bit weird, he can't help it. Who let him have a father who loves Chinese culture, and besides, his mother is also Chinese, so it is normal to give him a Chinese name.

Of course, when he was in school, people usually didn't call him such an awkward name. People will only call him Frank. It's a European name that's quite popular, especially for a man from France, and it's one of the things that most people in the world are looking for...... Money! That's what the French franc is called. Of course, when the European currency is integrated, the name will be swept into the old papers.

As Sima Fan's best friend and guest invited to his home, Joshua was given the opportunity to attend the ceremony of the handover of Hong Kong's sovereignty with an invitation card that ordinary people could not get. Because he himself is not a person who is very interested in history, he would not actually offer to participate in such an event if he had to choose. It was only because someone else had already invited him, and as a courtesy, he had to accept the kindness of others, and he came to the scene specially to come. After all, there are still many people out there who may not be able to get a ticket.

However, looking at the people around him, Joshua felt a little ridiculous. For example, he, who looked like a European, was now in the middle of a group of Chinese attending such a ceremony, instead of standing in the camp of Westerners on the other side of the hall. This is a moment when the power of the West, which is the representative, is gradually withdrawing from the East. He felt a little bit ironic. Unlike Frank and his father, Joshua is a subconscious believer that his Western civilization is superior to that of the East. Of course, as a Frenchman, he did not feel particularly sad about the British. Let's be honest. There was still a hint of joy in his heart. Because it would be happier to see Britain lose a colony again. Who called his ancestors enmity with England?

Yes, Joshua is a descendant of a French aristocracy. Although among the European countries, the French aristocracy was the most miserable group. While the surrounding countries still retained their monarchies, France was the first place in Western Europe to guillotine kings and establish republics. Since even the king was killed. Then the fate of those nobles who are attached to the royal power will naturally not be too good. In addition to fleeing abroad, a considerable number of nobles have since lived in seclusion in the countryside and have not been seen in public again.

As for the two emperors who appeared after the death of the king, they were only the big bourgeois regime created by that little man from Corsica. Those nobles did not dare to expect their treatment to be restored in the hands of these two emperors. In fact, the French aristocracy was the enemy of Napoleon's family, because it was the French aristocracy that united with the British to imprison Napoleon and finally poison him.

These black histories did not have a deep impact on Joshua. When he was born, his family had not spoken of his family's past glory for a long time. Perhaps, those past miracles are now just stories recorded in the dusty family diaries in the castle of their own home.

Of course. Luckily for the children of the other nobles, his grandfather and father were still relatively shrewd people, and belonged to the ranks of the nobles who were more proficient in business. After the end of World War II, especially when the Yankees went to Europe with the Marshall Plan to throw money, they took advantage of the drunken gold fans in France at that time to confuse the Yankees, and used the ancient aristocratic titles of their own family to launch a series of luxury goods known as the model of aristocratic life, and founded their own business. It's a big fortune.

Now, the brand that is marked by the shape of their family's castle. It has long become a big brand of luxury goods and decorations that sell well in Europe and the United States. It is precisely because of this that Joshua has been able to maintain a fairly good quality of life since he was a child, and he has a rather attractive trait.

Joshua's mother is Swede. So he also has Nordic blood in his body. In fact, French men are not the most handsome men in Europe, and even French men are not handsome. Do you think how many French movie stars are handsome? French male stars are all temperamental male stars, and it is difficult to find real handsome guys. The Chinese are more familiar with Alain Delon. That Zorro was handsome, but judging by his Nadron surname. This gentleman has a Dutch or Flanders ancestor.

On the contrary, the men of Northern Europe are quite handsome. He is tall and strong, and has deep facial features. How famous the ancient Vikings were, you know how good the Norse men's physiques were. Moreover, there were many wars in Northern Europe, and the mix of races was also quite strong. And mixed-race people are generally beautiful and intelligent. Joshua's body clearly reflects the advantages of Nordic genes.

Look at the British soldier wearing a Scottish skirt with the Union Jack. Joshua thought to himself that it was really better to go and fish a few more Hong Kong girls for fun when he came here today.

This kid is a heartthrob. Not to mention the appearance of talents, there is still a temperament cultivated by a wealthy family background since childhood. The attraction of such a temperament to a young girl is unlimited. It's not just men who are beautiful, but sisters are also pretty. When he was in the West, the West was originally open to the people, so it can be said that he lived quite a nourishing life on his terms, and there was never a shortage of female companions around him. Even if he came to his classmate's house as a guest this time, his appearance attracted the hearts of many girls for him. Among them is Frank's sister, the second lady of the Sima family.

Although he does not rule out fishing for a Hong Kong girl during his short stay in Hong Kong to relieve his lonely and boring life, he doesn't want to destroy his friendship with Frank because he moved someone else's sister.

Therefore, although he received hints from Miss Sima Jia many times, he just acted as a second colt who was puzzled by the amorous feelings, and turned a blind eye to the other party's various expressions.

But Sima Fan's sister didn't give up so easily, and he didn't know if it was better to have a showdown with the other party these days. Fortunately, the other party went to a banquet with his mother today, which allowed him to take a good breath.

He had heard that the banquet was held by Beijing. I heard that Sima Na also made a foreign appearance in front of a girl in Beijing.

Joshua remembered this question, and couldn't help but look towards the place in the forefront, which was said to be the Beijing Women's Dependents. He wanted to see what the girl who was said to have handled Sima Na's gaffe very magnanimously looked like. It's a pity that it's dark and oppressive, and I can't see anything clearly. Joshua's eyes widened to look more closely, but suddenly he saw a silhouette from the side, and he suddenly felt as if he was frozen.

Shen Yiyi was indeed still included in the few people on the chairman's wife's side. Originally, she wanted to be able to stand by the side of her grandfather, who also came to witness the handover ceremony. Shen Haijiang came to Hong Kong in the evening with the chairman and his team. At the handover ceremony in Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Britain and Beijing had a fierce debate, and each side had its own calculations.

For example, Hong Kong Ying calculated his national anthem, when he started singing it, and then all the work had to be coordinated to do this. The Chinese side also has its own plans. In fact, the things in dispute between the two sides are still very small. The Chinese side did not want any trace of the Hong Kong and British tunes to remain after July 1, 1997; Hong Kong and Britain also did not agree to the Chinese drum music to be brought forward to June 30.

Anyway, Shen Yiyi knew that the final result was still very fun. It was because of this kind of small calculation on both sides that when the British flag was lowered in the end, there was still more than ten seconds of silence between the two sides. This shows that the British side is also quite ruthless with itself. I'd rather let others say that my posture is not perfect, than give up casually.

Shen Yiyi looked at his grandfather's face one by one, and Old Man Shen was still very open, and waved his hand towards his granddaughter, meaning to let her stay in the team of the chairman's wife. How can I say this, the chairman took the initiative to make the ball for himself. Of course, their family should cherish such an opportunity. The more they are on this occasion, the more they want to achieve the effect.

Anyway, before coming out this time, whether it was grandpa's health doctor or his grandmother, all he told was to take good care of his grandfather's body and not let him have big emotional fluctuations. Now, although I don't leave my grandfather, at least I see that my grandfather can catch fish, which means that the old man is very healthy!

Shen Yiyi exhaled one by one. In fact, she and most of the people in this delegation couldn't get there quickly. There's something like a generation gap. Maybe some people feel resentful that she is so valued by the leaders.

Shen Yiyi glanced at the people around him, and seemed to be watching every move on the stage very excitedly. Because Shen Yiyi had a clearer impression on TV in his previous life, he was not as excited as other Chinese. After all, there is a close-up in TV, so you can see it more clearly. It's far better than the situation where the audience here doesn't really see it.

She didn't feel like she was being targeted by a handsome guy. (To be continued......)
