Chapter 154. It's been planned for a long time
As night fell, there was a faint fog drifting through the streets of Lentinium, and there were fewer cars on the streets of the Western Region, and those who were still driving were all turning on their lights and moving slowly.
Stunned stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with her glass in hand, looking out, her gaze out of focus, clearly thinking about something.
The one who invited her to the party was a man who was forbidden to have too much contact, and Yan Guo needed to recuperate at the moment, and if it was not necessary, it should not provoke foreign forces, even if it claimed to be neutral.
Is there really a neutral force in this world?
But she still came, she had to come, and the pressure on her shoulders was just too great.
Stunned turned around, and in the room of the private party, there was a person who was also helpless inside.
She silently retracted her gaze, her spirit was introverted, and she heard that the girl not far away was the daughter of the Victorian Minister of Commerce, and it was funny that the daughter of an important minister of state was forced to marry a new businessman, and there was not even much room for resistance.
Just when he was extremely emotional, the waiter led Shi Huaiya and Zhou Jinru here and asked if they needed more services.
These things have always been handled by Shi Huaiya, Zhou Jinru didn't bother, when he entered the door, he took a glass of wine from the tray, although he couldn't drink.
Sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman tonight.
"Both."
His arrival caused Surprise and Elena, who had arrived first, to straighten up, the former leaning forward slightly, and the latter lifting the hem of her skirt in respect.
"I'm sorry that I've wasted my time in endless traffic jams and made you wait for a long time."
In fact, he just pinched the time to enter the door.
Elena raised the cup in her hand and said sarcastically, "Our municipal department likes to spend taxpayers' money on boring things, and they bought hundreds of warning piles last month and spent thousands of gold pounds, saying that they are all handmade things made by masters. ”
Shocked and said lightly: "Traffic jams are a symbol of a country's prosperity and strength. ”
The nobles from different countries raised their glasses to indicate that they had reached a preliminary consensus.
Zhou Jinru couldn't help but look at it in shock, it is necessary for you to say this as a high-ranking official of the Yan Kingdom?
Shi Huaiya walked over from behind, and three beautiful girls with different temperaments stood together, and they all focused on Zhou Jinru, because he was the initiator of this party.
The previous ones were all greetings before the opening, and then the main event was the main event, the four of them sat down, Shi Huaiya sat on Zhou Jinru's right hand, Elena on the left, and Shocking on the opposite side.
Zhou Jinru leaned back in a soft and comfortable chair, and the warm light shone on his face, softening his facial lines.
"Miss Elena, Miss Surprise, thank you for coming, I'm glad you came."
That's the first sentence.
"I had a great time today at the amusement park in Lentinium, everything about the country impressed me."
The stunned eyes didn't blink, and the sentence was still foreshadowing, and she hadn't figured out what the man in front of her was trying to say.
"You know, I'm a doctor, a researcher, and I subconsciously pay attention to my patients."
Here it comes.
Elena was sitting precariously, she felt that today's meeting was most likely to help her solve the problem, but she had no clue how the people of Yanguo could help her.
At this point in Zhou Jinru's words, there was a knock at the door, and a waiter in formal clothes came in with a tray and served a cup of cold drink to every distinguished guest present.
Staring at the iced drink in hand, the red and white strawberry pulp mixed in the ice water, it was a very common iced drink, and it would be too extravagant if they came to the Victorian Aristocratic Hotel for two hundred years for this.
Zhou Jinru put down his wine glass, his eyes fell on the stunned face, and said calmly: "I want to initiate a convocation, not just the four of us, the scope of the convocation can be extended to the aristocratic circle of Victoria, and even, other countries." ”
"What's the exact?"
This sentence was asked by Shi Huaiya.
"Do you remember the Tidesta?"
Shocking had an impression of the city, but it was far away from the Yan Kingdom, and her impression only stayed on the paper report: "The city that was destroyed in the volcanic eruption? ”
Zhou Jinru said quietly: "Then you should know about the new Xista established after the Xista, as well as the infected communities in various countries in order to ease the contradictions between the infected and the non-infected. ”
Elena took a sip and looked at everyone present, "The Infected community in Lentinium is an abandoned industrial site, but it still bears some of the city's productivity. ”
Gradually, she found that the party seemed to be held for her personally, and the initiator, Zhou Jinru, only cared about her wishes.
Zhou Jinru's hands were crossed together, and he said sincerely: "Miss Jingru, I will donate a sum of money in my own name to form an observation group of infected people, and through negotiation, the membership fee will be formulated, and the main task of the observation group is to observe the living conditions of infected people in various countries and places." ”
After listening to Zhou Jinru's words, he shook his head slightly: "Your proposal is destined not to get much help." ”
Countries have different attitudes towards infected people, but the general direction is the same, that is, exclusion and resistance, and even persecution and bullying.
Stunned had already guessed the ending when he said it.
"I provide funding and security guarantees, and there are observers available, Miss Surprise, and I can guarantee that Colombia will respond to this summons, that Victoria will be involved, and Casimir will certainly not refuse, this is my sincerity."
"I'll think about it."
Stunned did not answer directly, if, as Zhou Jinru said, other countries participated, then of course Yanguo was interested in joining, even if it was only a name.
Isolationism has never been in the lexicon of Yanguo.
Suddenly, a man's voice came from the door: "Very good proposal, if Mr. Zhou initiates the summoning, I will not be absent." ”
The bright blonde lion stood at the door, he didn't come in, he didn't say anything more, nodded to Zhou Jinru and turned to leave.
The fourth prince, Edward.
Zhou Jinru's pupils contracted slightly, and his emotional perception did not even detect the existence of this prince, and only when Edward spoke out did the source of his emotions be revealed.
He was an accident and was not in Zhou Jinru's plan, but all the actions of the fourth prince were in line with his character, an environmental ambassador.
The conflict between the source stone industry and environmental protection is inevitably indispensable, and the fourth prince will definitely not let go of this contradiction easily.
But these became four words in the eyes of the sting, and they had been planned for a long time.
She confirmed that this party was aimed at her, and according to her character and temper, she should leave now, and leave no face for this man.
For some reason, the stunned remembered the moment when the two faced each other in the hotel, and the sadness in the man's eyes was not like pretending.
As an official and a cultivator of the family exercises, it was easy for him to tell if a person was lying, and his facial muscles and eyes were the most telling of the truth, but he was surprised to find that the man was telling the truth.
"I'll go to the bathroom."
Startled, he got up and left, standing alone in the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror, with long golden hair coiled up, holding a hairpin with Yanguo characteristics, wearing a dress that was also Yanguo style, with a chill between his eyebrows and eyes, and a faint arrogance of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Suddenly, there was another man in the mirror, and he was standing in the doorway.
Victoria's bathroom was genderless, and they looked at each other through a mirror, and for a long time, the man was about to leave, and when he took a step, there was a sound of stinging behind him.
"Wait a minute."
"Miss Shock?"
Unable to bear the curiosity in his heart, he took a few steps closer and asked in a low voice, "You said you really saw me in your dreams?" ”
Zhou Jinru took a step back: "I want to say yes, are you willing to believe it?" ”
"I don't know, there are a lot of incomprehensible things in this world, and I can't fully trust you because there is no evidence for this."
Stunned wanted evidence, Zhou Jinru was about to say something, suddenly a sound of footsteps came, and in a hurry, he pulled the man's clothes, and the two of them got into the compartment together.
We're not doing anything unseemly, why are you so nervous?
Zhou Jinru was at a loss, the plot in it would happen to him.
The sound of two people talking outside the cubicle can be heard:
"The regent has left Lentinium and will not be returning anytime soon."
"Know, without his presence, we will be much more convenient."
"Don't underestimate anyone, even if the regent is not in this city, his influence is still there."
"It's amazing that the lions didn't do anything."
……
Zhou Jinru was forced to squat on the toilet at the request of the stinger, and the sting was also close to his body, and he could sniff the girl's hair as long as he lowered his head.
It wasn't until the footsteps left that the two separated, Zhou Jinru moved his numb legs, and couldn't help but say, "Why do we want to be like thieves?" ”
He snorted in shock: "You are really bold, you didn't react at all when you heard that person's name." ”
"Should I be so scared that I run away immediately, or should I just find a hole in the ground and never come out again?"
And from the conversation just now, it can be heard that the man has left Lentinium at the moment.
Stunned but unrelenting: "A guy who has no vigilance at all." ”
Zhou Jinru couldn't cry or laugh: "We quarrel over these things? ”
"You're targeting me today, aren't you?"
Stunned crossed her arms, she put on a straight face, and opened the topic very simply.
Zhou Jinru had no choice but to nod: "I only care about your attitude." ”
Stunned didn't answer his words: "You want to help that poor girl? ”
"She is an outcast of the family, and a victim of the old nobles and the new nobles to ease the situation, very pitiful."
"Your love is so broad, you have to take care of other people's affairs."
Zhou Jinru didn't know why the sting's words had become so sharp at this time, and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Helping her is just incidental." ”
"If you can't convince me, I won't agree to your summoning, and even if you can really call a multinational observer mission, I still refuse your proposal."
There's no way around it.
Zhou Jinru's real goal today is only to be stunned, no matter what, he has to pull her into the gang, he tilted his head slightly: "Can I invite you to go for a walk with us?" ”
"Okay."
There is still a lot of time tonight, of course Shocking will not refuse, and she also wants to take the opportunity to find out the secret of this man, at least about herself.
Shi Huaiya will deal with Elena, and Zhou Jinru is not worried at all.
He and Stunned walked out of the Brown Hotel, and the two of them disappeared into the night side by side.
On the nights of the next few days of the recovery day, the Western Region became quieter, which was in keeping with the aristocracy's habits, and the real buzz was in the Eastern Region, where there were also open-air concerts, where the bands of Red Bean Chase were performing.
The two of them walked on the quiet street, Zhou Jinru took off her coat and draped it on the sting, she was wearing a dress, and her thin clothes couldn't block the gusts of night wind.
Stunned grabbed the coat with body temperature and whispered, "Do you do the same to your employees?" ”
Zhou Jinru nodded: "You said that I am the director of a company, and it is necessary for the supervisor to care about the lives of employees, and I am not a vampire who only shouts 'work' and 'efficiency'." ”
"No wonder they love you so much."
"That's my pleasure."
Stunned thought for a while, and then asked, "You said you had seen me, under what circumstances?" ”
"It's quite calm, then and now, in a festival, you are not a high-ranking official in Yanguo, and I am not a supervisor, we get along relatively well."
The stunned shook his head, which was really incomprehensible.
"Anything else?"
"Well, we've had a life-and-death parting."
This made it even more unbelievable, and the stunned retorted, "You mean I died in your dreams?" ”
"A lot of people died, and I should have died in my dreams."
Zhou Jinru didn't dare to delve into that memory, he was afraid that he would be unable to control his emotions.
"Are you scared?"
"When faced with death, everyone is afraid."
This sentence was said impeccably, and I couldn't find a rebuttal for a while.
Before they knew it, they were taken on their legs to an abandoned church, where there were no lights or vehicles, and the dilapidated church stood silently.
"Church of Tranquility."
Zhou Jinru looked around and suddenly realized where he stood, the quiet church in the sitcom was much more spectacular than it was now.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see here."
He pulled the sting and was about to leave, but the sting seemed to have roots in his legs, and he stood still motionless.
The stunned tone was a little uncertain: "Zhou, don't you think this church is a little familiar?" ”
"There is a quiet church in the melodrama that looks more glorious, and what we see now should be its prototype."
"I ......"
The stunned looked at it for a while, and then left.
Zhou Jinru asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, the Sun Emblem has become less important in Victoria, they remember Resurrection Day, but they don't know who to commemorate."
