-291- Feast on the storm
At the same time as the new product launch was held in Hitsblanca, located next door to Colosssy in the south, that is, the domain of Archduke William Cavendish held a regular dinner, and the invited people were either rich or noble, all of them were famous and famous people in the upper echelons of the empire, and the Grand Duke could invite anyone, but he would not invite the Countess of Hitsblanca to come over anyway.
Everyone knows about his disagreement with Yin Rena, although I don't know why Archduke William treats a little girl with no background like this, but it is over with the nobles of the Grand Duke's faction or friendly faction.
The dignified Duke of the Empire, the means, resources, temperament, and background, can crush the fledgling little earl to death if he comes out casually, standing with the Grand Duke, and arrogantly looking down on Yin Rena is a risky thing, and he can still please the Grand Duke, why not?
The banquet is held in the ballroom of the Grand Duke's house, and the greetings, snacks, balls, and the Grand Duke come out to say a few words are the necessary procedures for each banquet.
Joanna, the daughter of a marquis, a dignitary of a noble family, was naturally invited, but this time she had changed a little, and she herself was looking forward to the banquet.
Before leaving, Joanna took a shower and used a custom soap of the Urlandel brand, which could add her favorite fragrance to herself, which won Joanna's heart and was privately named the queen, but this queen was deposed after she attended a new product launch and was demoted to a concubine.
washed herself in fragrance, and then sat in front of the dresser to dress herself, only to see that there was an extra delicate thing on her dresser, which was the new lipstick launched by Youlander, which was the same color as Yin Leina, who was the host at that time.
She carefully peeled off her hijab, twisted her lipstick, applied it to her lips according to the instructions on the manual, and looked in the mirror after the fact, and there was a very obvious difference from the paint she had used before! And the lip flap doesn't feel anything unusual.
"It has to be Youlander, and I'll use their cosmetics in the future......"
With the help of the servants at home, Joanna successfully put on the complicated court dress, which she felt was far less beautiful than those slim-fitting dresses, but she was still very beautiful by nature!
"Let's go, is the car ready?"
"Miss Hui, I'm ready, the old man has filled his stomach and set off first."
"Well, let's leave after dinner, I can't wait to show them!"
In these Western countries, everyone understands a common sense that when you are full, you will come back when you are full, and the snacks there are used to kill time or hide your embarrassment, and if you want to fill your stomach, you have to eat it.
So when Joanna arrived, it was already six o'clock in the evening, the feast had already begun, and people would arrive one after another.
Walking on the red carpet into the spacious and warm light ballroom, before the ballroom dance session began, everyone got together to chat, who and what kind of people got together, there was really no one they knew or didn't want to chat, just go to the snack area to eat, Joanna took a glass of red wine from the waiter's plate, smiled, and walked directly towards her group of girlfriends.
When several eldest ladies meet, they first greet each other normally, and then they will subconsciously scan each other.
Her friends looked at her, and she looked at them too, and then smiled from the bottom of her heart, for no other reason, but because these people were still wearing old-fashioned lip makeup, and compared with them, her sense of superiority was slowly rising.
And her friends naturally noticed Joanna's different lip makeup from theirs, and secretly frightened, not every nobleman happened to have a nobleman who stopped by from the press conference to give gifts.
"Hey, Joanna, your lip makeup looks so good, can you teach me how to do it?"
"I want to learn too! Did you use any special pigments? ”
At this moment, Joanna's vanity was greatly satisfied:
"Isn't it paint, haven't you heard? A while ago, Youlandale released a new cosmetic product, called lipstick~ This is the effect when applied to it, which is much easier to use than pigments, and it is easy to wipe off and not toxic. ”
"It turned out to be Urlandal, but I heard that they have entered the East, so how did you get the latest product, Joanna?"
Everyone is a celebrity, why does she have her own? They have a bit of an imbalance in their hearts and a desire to compare.
"An aunt of mine who traveled in the east participated in the new product launch conference, and the gift she brought to me when she went home was wrapped and looked at, a small one, you can use it anywhere~"
As soon as they said this, the little girlfriends became even more curious, and after chatting absentmindedly for a while, they found an excuse to leave, and eagerly asked the servants waiting outside to buy Urlandale's lipstick, no matter how much it was!
If her friends have delicate lip makeup, she doesn't have it, she will feel inferior if she can't raise her head from her own point of view, and from the perspective of the family, she will lose the face of the family, and the dignified marquis or an official of the rank can't even get a lipstick! will be heard as a joke.
The eldest ladies are also very tired in their daily lives~
And similar scenes like this are not only in Joanna's circle of friends, but also in some older ladies' circles, and in the end, it is not them who are the busiest, but the servants waiting outside the door to be sent at any time.
Watching everyone "run away", Joanna smiled triumphantly, and then, in order not to be too embarrassed to be alone, she found her marquis father, and the little bird grabbed his father's arm.
When the lady is away, the daughter is sometimes a capital that can be flaunted.
And now the person who communicates with Joanna's father is none other than Archduke William, and his son Cavendish Jr. is also listening, with thick and many long black hair tied back his head, handsome and handsome.
"Joanna, you're here," Marquis Connery glanced at his daughter, and then immediately began to talk to Archduke William, "Duke, this is my little daughter Joanna, who is the same age as Ling Lang." ”
William glanced at Joanna, who was very beautiful, with smooth and silky blond hair, and was a beautiful embryo, so he called out to his son:
"Wood, go and accompany Miss Joanna, there should be a lot of conversation among young people."
In this way, Joanna and Wood broke away from their fathers, walked side by side for a while, found an empty spot, and chatted face-to-face.
As the son of the Duke, Wood Cavendish has received a super elite education since he was a child, and his IQ and EQ are online, and he can amuse the little girl in just a few words.
Joanna naturally felt that Wood was very humorous, and the literary brilliance revealed between the words also poked her appetite, so the conversation became more energetic, and the topics appeared one by one, until Wood talked about Joanna's lip makeup.
"Ah, you say this...... This is a new lipstick from Urlandal, much easier to use than paint, it was a gift from my aunt, and it is ...... limited now."
"I see, no wonder it's so natural and good-looking, you will come out with a gap with other women."
"Master Wood, don't say that, if I am heard, I will be miserable~"
At this time, the dance begins, and the two people who happen to be together and "have their own tricks" naturally pull together and dance ballroom dancing to the music.
The two were very close.
"I wonder if Wood can ask about the scent on my body......"
The scent of white peach that she liked did reach Wood's nose, and he shrugged the tip of his nose...... Soap from Urlandale, lipstick from Urlandelle......
"Has this company's products penetrated so much? I had to tell my father. ”
I think so, but in a formal setting, it's best not to show any unusual emotions, the so-called acting is a full set, and Wood thinks that since Urlandle targets aristocratic women, then having a woman by his side who can keep up with the latest news at any time, and even running around for it is also a good source of information, and his father let him contact this woman, which shows that his father agrees with the other party's family power.
In that case, let's take her down.
As for happiness? For children in this kind of family, rights are the happiest thing, and women are just consumables, which are kept at home and waiting to rot if they are useless.
The idea of forming gradually turned into a plan, and then into an actual action, and Wood inadvertently began to attack Joanna.
Unintentionally rubbing hands, hitting each other's breath on each other's faces, and hugging her body closer as they spin......
He could feel Joanna shy, and the blood-red earlobes were the best proof of that.
"It's a little hot......"
Joanna really wants to calm herself down now, but there are so many people in the dance hall that it is stuffy and stuffy, and she can't withstand Wood's attack, and her body has given a little reaction, it is not good to go on like this, I believe Wood will be considerate of the lady.
Sure enough, Wood immediately took Joanna's hand and came to the balcony, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to calm Joanna down, he had to be a hot iron!
Before the woman could rest for a moment, the man's sweet words came from the side, catching Joanna off guard, and her hot cheeks were like a steam engine gurgling and spewing gas.
Feeling that the time was almost up, Wood pinched Joanna's chin and kissed her lightly on the lips, "I think I can't help but like you Joanna, do you believe in love at first sight?" In short, I believe that every sparkle in you fascinates me......"
"I believe that our respective fathers will not only not object, but will be happy to marry each other, and it is better to make a decision now than to marry someone I don't know in the future."
"I ......"
Joanna hesitated, love came too suddenly and she was unprepared, but this was not a look of wanting to refuse.
"It's okay, there's still a long time between us, I'll wait for you."
Archduke William speaks......
Say goodbye to each other......
This is the end of the banquet, before leaving, Joanna still reluctantly looked at Wood standing behind Archduke William, only to see him smile and wave at her, his handsome face is so sunny and charming at this moment......
She made a bold and worldly decision.
After seeing off all the visitors, Wood followed his father to the room where Archduke William worked.
"Looks like you have something to say about my son, did you get anything out of the banquet?"
Wood bent down slightly, even if the other party was his father, Wood did not dare to indulge in the slightest:
"Yes father, I learned from Miss Joanna that the Urlandel Group has come up with new tricks in recent times, and their products have penetrated deeply into the circle of nobles."
"Eulandelle~Eulandelle~~" William pondered for a few seconds, "You mean the property that Caslana Qing brought to Hitsblanca?" ”
"Yes, and as far as I know, at the launch of the new product, Count Caslana has officially announced that he is the real owner of the Urlander Group."
"In the eyes of the world, this move by Kaslana Qing is bound to make His Majesty's face gloomy, but I know that Zekariya will help His Majesty to recover the taxes that should be collected, otherwise the empire's economy will become very fragile...... Youlander Group is in full swing~ Wu'er, if you are asked to sanction them, what do you think? ”
The duke's father would always ask him again when he had a problem, and he would explain it whether it was correct or not, which was the best way for Archduke William to educate his son.
Wood was also familiar with this, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"Since they use the product as a selling point, then taking a shot at their product is equivalent to hitting a snake and hitting them in the most painful place."
Old William's eyes lit up, and he secretly sighed that his son could finally see the essence of the problem at a glance:
This judgment is correct, but what about the next action? What are your plans? ”
"I can't figure out exactly how to do it in such a short period of time, but if I were a father, I would definitely find a lower nobleman to do this dirty work, and even if I failed, I wouldn't dirty myself."
"Okay, okay~" Even if he didn't hear the specific plan, William was very satisfied, "My son is good at mental skills!" I'm very pleased. Caslana's Hitsblanca can't become the climate yet, but in order for the balance of the final bet to tilt in our favor, it is still necessary to start suppressing from the end...... So, since you have this awareness, then it's up to you to do it. ”
Wood was taken aback, thinking that he was a cabinet adviser as usual, but he didn't expect to give the task directly this time.
"What? Don't have faith? ”
Archduke William suddenly smiled and said, knowing a father is better than a son, Wood knew that this was the most terrible time for his father, so he hurriedly said:
"Leave it to me, I'll take care of it!"
William stood up and patted Wood on the shoulder hard, "Okay~ This is my son." ”
"One more thing, father, I decided to marry the daughter of the Marquis de Connelly."
For his son's "lifelong event", William didn't even bother to look back, just paused, and then said:
"It's up to you."
When William left, he didn't dare to move even if Wood was the only one left in the room, and the cold sweat had already soaked his back.
The main palace, two bedrooms, three bedrooms and four bedrooms, the four wives of the duke have no problems at all, so there are two younger brothers and a younger sister under Wood, if he has no future, Wood believes that his father will abandon him without hesitation and choose to cultivate his younger brother.
Before he grows up, he has to be a son with his tail between his legs!
The windowpane behind the chair reflected Wood's frightened and excited face, and in his own hole he seemed to see a new ruler rising above ten thousand people under one man in the empire!
"My father, I will take care of what you have given me, defeat all enemies, and then take your place and make the empire the most powerful nation!"
