Chapter 822: An Encounter Hidden in a High Ball (Part II)
"The one that took root in North America.... Financial oligarchy...? ”
Hearing his answer, the woman next to her opened her mouth in surprise and disbelief, looking quite surprised,
The male friend beside him glanced at the innermost floor of the hall, and asked in a low voice with nervousness and anticipation in his eyes:
"Is it true that there are agents present tonight?"
"I don't know, but there are huge benefits to being able to cooperate with people at that level, even the most basic."
I also glanced at the class that they didn't have access to at all, and imagined how nice it would be if I could get in touch with the characters there.
The young man's eyes noticed the figure that had directly rejected him just now, and the annoyance of losing face in front of others flashed in his eyes,
Then out of the corner of his eye, he saw two figures in front of him, a young man who didn't know French and a nervous and cramped girl.
After a slight pause, he suddenly deliberately quickened his voice and laughed in a low voice:
"I believe that at least some companies can buy a batch of better 'hearing aids'."
The social arena of fame and fortune is also an arena where he uses conversational skills to gain face, status, and the right to speak, pouring out the ridicule he suffered just now on people who are lower than his own class, and he feels that he has regained his status in the circle.
The two people around him who heard this sentence glanced at Fang Ran and Tang Bing with strange eyes.
And Tang Bing, who had been listening a little nervously and restrainedly, listened to this sentence that he didn't understand too clearly, and it took a while to clarify the semantics before he reacted, this is a bad joke that bullied them for their weak French, an obscure bad joke!
Forcefully holding his expression, he suddenly froze, and he felt angry biting his lip, not knowing whether this sentence should be translated.
Thinking about the last dance, although I didn't understand what they were saying, I noticed the look on Tang Bing's face beside me, and felt an unfriendly atmosphere,
Fang Ran glanced at the young man, his lowered eyes quietly emitting a hint of boiling darkness.
At the same time, Melandor, who was surrounded by everyone not far away, also noticed his gaze just now, and saw that he was talking happily with the two people around him, deliberately snubbing the other two, making the Chinese girl stand a little uncomfortable in place, forcibly enduring the restraint and embarrassment.
Boring moves....
"Before I introduce myself, I'm Henry Congreve, and this is my friend Hardy Liccock, and this is Miss Cora Besimo."
As if he had just remembered, he raised the champagne in his hand and faced the two of them, the arrogance of the French was particularly evident in him, and he waited for them to report his name with a high-minded chuckle.
And hearing his words, even if he was not happy, but thinking that tonight's action must be very important, knowing that Fang Ran could only rely on himself if he could not understand French, Tang Bing still bit his lip, and tried to answer:
"I... Yes..."
But seeing Fang Ran, he suddenly stretched out his hand to block in front of her.
"Learn..."
"Although I don't know where you were rejected and lost face, and you want to find a different place to regain your mental balance,"
Then when Tang Bing was surprised that he could understand French, and the other two were surprised that he suddenly spoke,
The young man saw the black-haired young man in front of him speak slowly and softly, revealing a superior temperament who didn't seem to care about this kind of occasion at all, stretched out his hand to take the champagne in his hand, and slowly fell to the ground.
Raise those eyes that seemed to be looking at the clown, and sneered contemptuously.
"But put away your ridiculous and boring pride, idiot."
Wake up from the bottom of his heart with the recognition of himself that night in London, Fang Ran listened to the cheering voice of the wanton child, and didn't care whether they understood it or not, and directly hooked the corners of his mouth at Tang Bing, who was already stunned.
"Let's go, gourd."
Hearing what he said just now, Tang Bing was dumbfounded and obedient, and the young man, who was already completely stunned, looked at the champagne on the ground in front of him in disbelief, and his eyes slowly dilated in shock.
And the two people beside him were also absurd and stunned by this scene, they really didn't expect that the other party would not care about etiquette at all on this occasion, and trampled the unspoken rule of not tearing his face in the social arena under his feet, and directly counterattacked!
"Wait!"
Seeing Fang Ran and Tang Bing planning to turn around and leave, Henry Congreve realized that even if he didn't understand what the other party had just said, the look of contempt and ridicule, as well as the act of pouring his champagne directly at his feet,
It's like a slap in the face that saw through his own thoughts, and slapped himself in the most embarrassing place!
The expression on his face rose with anger, and he grabbed Fang Ran's arm and tried to pull his figure, but found that he didn't pull it at all, the figure of the black-haired young man in front of him was as stable as a rock, but he was led to a stumbling step forward!
"Stop! What unreasonable arrogance! You have to apologize to me for your actions!! ”
Feeling the strangeness in the eyes of the two people around him, and knowing that he would have to save face no matter what, he raised his voice and shouted to the people who could be heard nearby.
This resounding with exasperation, which was particularly unusual in the ballroom with soothing music, immediately attracted the attention of the people in the vicinity,
Many people looked at the source of the sound, and whispered in surprise when they saw the Chinese face of the black-haired youth, and a small commotion spread through the hall.
And at the same time, the innermost floor of the ball hall,
In the area where the highest-status people at this ball were located, several figures with hidden majesty were surrounding a formal and elegant woman in a black evening dress,
The gesture of equality chuckled, knowing that the seemingly 'young' woman in front of her was the agent of the new controller of the financial empire in Europe, and this status alone deserved to be taken seriously.
"Heh... It seems that there is some excitement on the young people's side. ”
Also noticing the slight commotion on the outside, a man who looked to be in his fifties but was still tall raised his glass and chuckled, while the others laughed knowingly, with their status, it was only worth laughing at.
Only the woman in the black evening dress was directly stunned at the moment when she saw the situation clearly!
"I'm sorry, guys, I'll miss you first!"
Then she directly apologized and walked away, walking briskly towards there, making a few people around her look strangely at her figure as if she was thinking of something urgent.
The sound of her heels tapping on the floor tiles was crisp and continuous, as if she was eager, and everyone else in the ball hall noticed her actions in amazement.
After subconsciously getting out of the way, she found that the direction she was heading was actually where the quarrel was taking place!
I was surprised that the innermost layer was still the big man in the center of the topic, why did she suddenly come to meddle in the affairs of young people, looking at her figure passing by, Melandore was also slightly surprised in her eyes,
And then at that moment when everyone didn't expect it,
She walked briskly towards the black-haired young man, and spoke with respect and incredible surprise in her tone:
"Your Excellency, why are you here?"
