(Transition Chapter)

2016, September.

Berlin.

As the sun sets, half of the sky is red.

The golden plane trees are neatly arranged on both sides, and the withered yellow leaves are scattered and falling, mixed with colorful time.

At the end of the road, there stands a huge ancient castle, the blue-gray castle is majestic and magnificent, and every inch of the wall with blue spots is full of traces of time, simple and magnificent.

Stepping on this asphalt-paved road, you can clearly see the end, with two huge iron gates standing at the end.

The iron door opened, and a team of security personnel stood as straight as soldiers.

A few maids dressed at the door had a bright smile on their faces when they greeted each guest.

On the road, a black nanny car suddenly stopped on the side of the road, and a woman with blond curly hair looked at the scene outside through the car window, and couldn't help but ask with some hesitation.

"Are we really going in?"

"Afraid of what?"

Pani sat on one side and said, "This is the day of the engagement of the little princess of the Van Cleef & Arpels family and the second in line of succession of the Cartier family, and it is the glory of an artist to be able to sing in such a grand ceremony, why are you still afraid?" ”

"No, it's not."

Taeyeon retracted her gaze, shook her head, and said, "I just think it wouldn't be too embarrassing if something goes wrong......

"I think you should think more about it, the endorsement of these two top luxury goods in South Korea may give you some confidence."

Kim so, who was driving in the front seat, couldn't help but say, "Van Cleef & Arpels Jewelry and Cartier Jewelry, if we hadn't accidentally learned that one of the heavyweight guests of the invited guests had lived in Korea for a period of time, we wouldn't have gotten this opportunity." ”

"Doesn't it still need to be agreed?"

Taeyeon said softly, "Isn't everything still uncertain?" ”

"At least the probability of being able to win it again!"

Kim so Young looked full of confidence and said: "In the past, people disliked our company's idols and lowered the grade of jewelry, but now that we have singer Kim Tae-yeon, we will definitely succeed." ”

"Oba."

When Kim Taeyeon heard this, she showed a crying and laughing expression: "Oba always seems to be so optimistic. ”

"Isn't it good to be optimistic?"

Parney muttered, "Optimism is always much stronger than pessimism, right?" ”

As he spoke, Taeyeon looked dissatisfied, "Just like you, if it weren't for something really happened this time, how long have you not been out of the house?" ”

"Isn't it good to stay at home?" Taeyeon asked with a chuckle.

"Isn't it nice to stay at home?" Pani asked rhetorically.

"Of course it's good to stay at home!"

Taeyeon smiled and nodded, and soon, looking at the sky outside the window, her beautiful eyes were a little complicated.

I don't know when she started, but she suddenly began to feel that the world outside the door was like a beast that chose people to eat.

"Okay, don't think about it so much."

Pani seemed to see that Taeyeon's emotional state was not quite right, and quickly changed the subject and smiled, "Didn't Jessica say that she is also here, this time she can meet and catch up with the old gods." ”

“jesscia？”

Taeyeon was slightly stunned, and soon, she also laughed out loud and teased: "I just don't know if our President Zheng will know our two little stars now!" ”

At the same time, the other side.

The main hall of the castle.

The vast hall is flooded with soft lighting.

The walls are lined with rumored authentic works, and the inconspicuous objects in the room are filled with the smell of time.

At 7 p.m., a big banquet is held here.

However, it was only five o'clock, and the hall was already surging with several people in suits and dresses.

Everyone was waiting for the start of the engagement dinner between the little princess of the Jacques family, the top jeweler, and the second in line to the throne of the Cartier family, while also coveting the scraps that flowed from the fingers of the two jewelers.

God knows if the heirs of the Cartier family will be excited to agree to some of the cooperation that has not been pushed forward for a long time.

Even for the behemoth of the Cartier family, it is just a little thing, but for them, it is enough to live a lifetime of glory.

"However, after this engagement, the ranking of Germany's top luxury brands may change again."

In the crowd, someone sighed: "It can only be said that it is worthy of the existence that led the Cartier family to glory back then, and the trick of the old Cartier patriarch can at least make the declining Cartier family stabilize its position in the top ten luxury brands for at least three years." ”

"Yes, I heard that in order to show the glory and majesty of the Cartier family, the elder Cartier specially used his personal connections to invite half of the world's top ten pianists to perform for this engagement dinner."

"Really?"

Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't it said that those pianists despise the Cartier family the most, and the nouveau riche who are only a hundred years old and lack of background compared to other families?" ”

"What?"

Someone said disdainfully: "The news you read is not bright, Henri Cartier, who married this time, was sent by the old Cartier to study under Master Edward at a very young age." ”

When the words fell, someone couldn't help but exclaim: "Is that the only remaining palace-level piano master in the world?" ”

But after saying that, he nodded to himself.

That's right.

Compared with these families, who value status and glory countless times more than money, this is indeed an understandable thing.

At this moment, the focus of countless people in the outside world, the protagonist of the engagement, Henri Cartier, wearing a crisp silver-gray suit and his fiancée Judy Jacques in a blue dress, is in the living room on the second floor, meeting some closer guests.

There are some young people here who are obviously much younger.

"My Henry, why do you look sullen on your engagement days?"

Someone couldn't help but smile and speak.

"That's right!"

A beautifully dressed celebrity smiled and said, "Look at what you have influenced, even our Judy has lost the smile that makes the flowers lose color." ”

"Don't make a fuss, I'm not happy."

Henry smiled rather forcefully, and quickly said, "I'll go with Judy to see how many people haven't arrived." ”

After saying that, the two got up and walked out.

However, as soon as she walked out of the door, a slight worry suddenly appeared in Judy's azure eyes.

"You say, can Master Edward still play the piano at his age?"

Obviously, the two knew the meaning of tonight's engagement banquet.

"I'm more worried that the teacher won't be cooperative when he comes here."

Henry's expression was worried.

The pianist was more known for his stubbornness than his piano skills.

"Didn't you say that Master Edward's favorite disciple has a very good relationship with you?" Judy was also worried.

"That's when I'm practicing."

Henry hesitated: "We haven't seen each other for three years, who knows he's now..."

As he spoke, he seemed to notice something, and hurriedly said, "He's here!" ”
