Chapter 655
A number of distinguished guests are indeed present today.
This includes the Bevan and Manson families, as well as the big names from other countries.
It can be said to be an unprecedented feast for the top circle of celebrities.
To get engaged on such an occasion is a world-cla*s testimony.
Neil started to applaud again, “Boss is amazing, even the princess of country J has gotten her hands on him, boss is worthy of being my idol!”
Ian couldn’t hold back and pressed Neil, “Shut up!”
He knew something was going to happen after he found out that the Princess of J had arrived.
Catherine stood up, she took off her hat and smiled at the guests.
Every move was that of a royal princess, with a distinguished and elegant air.
Catherine is also ranked among the top figures in international celebrity circles.
There have been special rankings of princesses from various countries, with a comprehensive a*sessment in terms of beauty, learning, manners and so on.
This Princess Catherine, at the age of 16, was already ranked in the top ten.
She is 21 years old and has risen to the third position.
The two princesses ahead of her in the ranking are both married, have their own a*sets and are truly powerful women.
A number of kings of principalities have asked Catherine to marry them, only President James has never relented.
It turns out that it had been waiting for today.
The wealth held by the venus group is far less than the gdp of several countries on continent o combined.
The value of Fu Yunshen is naturally not something that those who are overly hopeful can compare to.
The old man, Zhong, only felt his heart being hoisted up again.
He hadn’t breathed a sigh of relief this evening, it was like a roller-coaster ride: “The Fu boy has a marriage contract?”
Ying Tianru thought about it and frowned, “It’s not impossible that the venus group started in country j and has received help from the president of country j.”
“Bah!” Elder Zhong was furious, “Can that be compared to the baby marriage Old Man Fu and I made over twenty years ago?”
Even if it was an engagement, there had to be a first come first served.
But Fu Yichan was sure: “Yun Shen won’t.”
Only Ying Ziji was propped up on her elbow, her eyes half-closed, still resting with her eyes closed.
Xinai poked the girl’s arm, “Ying, aren’t you worried?”
“He’ll take care of it.” Ying didn’t care much, “It’s just a small matter.”
She was still waiting to go for dessert.
“Ugh, this kid, he’s still just like his grandfather.” Elder Zhong scolded with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were red, “When he was young, he was all so pleasing to women.”
**
On stage.
The host didn’t know what to do, and could only cast a pleading glance at Fu Yunshen for help.
Cesar gloated a little and watched the good show from the side.
Catherine carried her dress onto the stage, her little eyes all cheerful and elated.
She was waiting for Fu Yunshen to ask her to dance.
As a princess, of course, she couldn’t be too forward and needed to be reserved.
With so many VIPs gathered, Fu Yunshen, as a gentleman, could not let a girl lose face.
However, Fu Yunshen did not move at all.
He turned his head sideways, a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold: “Mr. President, you seem to have misunderstood something.”
James narrowed his eyes and smiled broadly, “Mr. Fu, where is the misunderstanding, when we first talked about it, I can ask you for anything in the future.”
“It’s not really a request, you and Catherine are a good match, and everyone here thinks so too.”
Catherine bit her lip and changed her previous high spirits: “You were, clearly, saying that anything was possible, that it wasn’t good enough for me to marry you?”
But there was some panic in her heart.
Ever since she had met Fu Yunshen when she was 16, she had fallen in love with him.
She had waited until now and was finally able to go public.
Seeing the man’s indifference, James withdrew his smile and his gaze turned gloomy for a few moments: “Mr. Fu, are you forgetting your roots after getting rich?”
“I risked the opposition of all the council members to offer you help at that time, and now you’ve gone back on your word, is that ungrateful?”
Ying Ziji opened his eyes and looked at James with a cold look in his eyes.
James was in a position of victory and had a point to make: “Mr. Fu, aren’t you afraid that your ingratitude will chill the hearts of your followers?”
It was no secret in the business world that J had helped the Venus Group.
But their private agreement was not known to outsiders.
When he said that, Fu Yunshen had no way to refute it.
With so many people watching, James was sure that Fu Yunshen could not refuse.
Now the venus group and the Laurent family had become allies, and had reached a point where even country j could hardly look up to them.
This son-in-law, country J must be caught well.
Sure enough, the guests exchanged pleasantries.
“The venus group is ungrateful, how can we still work with them in the future?”
“I think so, it’s not much of a request, Princess Catherine is so outstanding, how can Executive Director Fu still be condescending? You’re just pretending.”
“Josie.” Fu Yunshen raised his chin, hooked his lips in a smile, his voice line low and cold, “Come, tell Mr. President what the agreement was in the first place.”
“Yes.” The body of Qiao Xi, who was named, trembled and immediately stood up.
He took his computer and tapped on the keyboard a few times, and soon a paragraph of the program popped up.
The large screen behind the lectern followed the change.
It was a video.
Because of the camera angle, only James was filmed alone.
The bottom right corner of the screen had a time date of six years ago, not long after the venus group was established.
In the video, James spoke in a condescending tone, “Okay, the J Congress will provide 1 billion in financial a*sistance to the venus group, and I’ll be satisfied if the venus group can give something back in the future.”
This is the end of the video.
Fu Yunshen spoke softly and ordered again, “Josie.”
Qiaoxi pulled up another record of the transfer of funds.
It showed that the venus group had transferred ten billion dollars to the J treasury three years ago, and it was still transferred through the Laurent Bank.
“……”
All whispers came to a halt.
James’ face instantly turned iron.
In the presidential palace, how could he let Fu Yunshen take all the videos?
Five years ago, Fu Yunshen was penniless, where did he get these tricks?
Qin Lingyan, who was in charge of monitoring the venue, saw this and gave a tsk, “Hey, I’m really powerful.”
It could not be helped, who made him the boss of the Hacker Alliance.
This little thing was naturally in handy.
At the VIP table, Ian also stood up and sneered, “Mr. President, it’s not that our Executive Director is ungrateful, it’s that you are too greedy, our Executive Director’s marriage is also something that you can decide?”
“You have a good plan, you want to tie up the venus group through marriage, but unfortunately, you don’t have that ability now.”
“With a swish, the eyes of all the guests in the venue were focused on James’ body.
As the president of a country, James had not been in such a sorry state.
His fists were clenched tightly and his face was grim.
Catherine, however, was obstinate and did not step down, “There can be no engagement, but I want to dance with you.”
“Sorry, I have a cleanliness problem.” Fu Yunshen was polite and detached, “Doesn’t like to have contact with the opposite sex.”
This sentence was like a slap in Catherine’s face.
Her face turned white bit by bit and she couldn’t even stand up.
Ian shrugged, “That’s tragic.”
He knew what Fu Yunshen hated most, and that was being pushed.
This was simply a way to cut off the last bit of love with the Venus Group with his own hands.
There was nothing left.
Catherine stepped down from the stage in a trance, and the way the guests looked at her had changed.
She was not even an unmarried couple, so where did she get the decency to stop Fu Yunshen from having contact with other women?
Fu Yunshen reached out carelessly, seemingly casually, and pulled a small ball out of the box.
“Let’s see which one of the celebrities it is.” The host took a look and raised the small ball with the name engraved on it, “China, First Light Media’s Executive Director, Miss Ying Zigui Ying -”
“Congratulations!”
Ian: “……??”
What kind of luck is this?
You got Miss Ying in one draw?
There are two hundred balls in this box, so this is too accurate.
[D*mn, I’m Ying Shen?
[Oh my god, the God of Medicine cp is giving out sugar, is there a chance that our civil cp will turn right?
[Alas, even the princess of country J doesn’t like him, so I guess he’s out of luck.
[I have to admit, Princess Catherine is really a world cla*s girl in terms of status.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
Catherine blushed even whiter: “Daddy.”
“Catherine, don’t worry.” James’ expression was also hard to read, “He even turned you down, how could he look at a Chinese, he-”
He didn’t finish his sentence, it stuck in his throat.
Fu Yunshen walked down from the stage and came straight to the girl.
He leaned down slightly, smiling gently, and extended his hand towards her, “mylady?”
Chapter 656
mylady.
My lady.
His peach blossom eyes curved and the light at the bottom of his pupils was misty, as if a whole river of stars had rippled out.
Deep and mercurial.
With a tenderness that will last till death do us part, almost drowning one in it.
No one could resist this invitation.
Including the netizens watching the live broadcast, they all felt a heartfelt blow.
The first thing that happened was that the girl was so happy. I declare Executive Director Fu the number one flirt, no objections, right?
[What did he just say, does anyone know lip-sync?
I think it was mylady!
How did that become mylady? It’s probably just some kind of invitation, even if it’s mylady, it doesn’t mean madam.
[Whatever it is, I’m pulling! I declare that today we are all a magic pill party!
[I can’t even stand just watching from the screen, can Ying Shen stand this stunning beauty?
Ying Ziji’s eyelashes dropped, he lifted his hand and slowly put it up: “mypleasure.”
A pleasure.
Fu Yunshen takes the girl’s hand and leads her towards the centre of the stage.
The lights hit the two, like a divine couple.
Cesar grunted slightly, “That’s good luck.”
He too reached out, drew a small ball from the box and handed it to the host.
“The celebrity our Mr. Sizer drew is -” the host paused deliberately, “the Bevan family, Miss Rita Bevan, congratulations!”
Rita had just taken a sip of red wine when she choked, “Cough cough cough!”
She was a marksman, going to the dance?
Are you kidding?
The Bevan family head, however, was delighted: “Rita, get up there, get up there!”
“Papa, don’t.” Lita was livid, “I can’t dance at all, let Nancy go.”
Coming from one of the four wealthy families, she had naturally learnt the manners of the gentry.
But unlike the other thousandaire dames, she had been brought up as an heiress.
She was good at everything from target shooting to horse fighting, but not at dancing and flower arranging.
Making her dance would be better than killing her.
“No.” Lord Bevan disapproved, “You’re the one Mr. Cesar drew, and if you don’t go up there, doesn’t that mean you don’t like him?”
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t dance, just follow his dance steps, just don’t step on Mr. Cesar’s feet and all will be well.”
Rita: “……”
She stood up in resignation and was about to step forward.
The hand was already being held one step ahead.
The young man’s palm was warm and strong.
He smelled faintly of sandalwood and it was haunting.
There were shouts of surprise and the sound of the shutter being pressed.
As the sole owner of the Laurent family, Cesar Laurent had actually invited the dancing partner himself to the stage.
And with the Bevan family a notch below the Laurent family.
Rita’s hand subconsciously retracted a little, but instead of successfully avoiding it, it was held tighter.
She looked up in some surprise and bumped into the young man’s deep blue eyes.
“Don’t give that look.” Cesar’s voice was laced with laughter, “I’m a gentleman, of course I’m going to invite the lady to dance myself.”
“Fine.” Rita shrugged, “But for the record in advance, I might step on your feet.”
“That’s fine, I’ll teach you.” Cesar was stunned and laughed softly, “I haven’t danced for a while either, so I’ll need you to take care of the care.”
Eighteenth century Filippo was bustling, and there were daily balls at Laurent Castle.
Before the invention of mobile phones and computers, it was one of the few entertainment activities available to the nobility.
Until he was a*sa*sinated and the Laurent family was forced into seclusion.
As a hunter, Rita was keen to notice that something was wrong with Cesar; “Mr. Cesar?”
“Nothing.” Cesar looked back, faintly, “Let’s go over.”
The staff moved the chairs and tables out, and the other guests entered the dance floor.
Master Zhong stared at Ying Tianru after he invited an oriental girl, before he slowly took out his phone and started recording.
As a big fan in the Divine Medicine couple’s super talk, he could edit the new cp video.
The music played and the dance steps spun out.
Ying didn’t really like dancing either, but she knew how to watch it from the hundreds of years she spent in o-continent before.
Even if she didn’t know how to dance, Fu Yunshen, as a good dance partner, could lead the dance.
Ying Zidian half leaned against him: “How did you get the draw?”
“It was simple.” Fu Yunshen smiled low, “Just use your inner strength.”
Ying Ziji raised his eyebrows, “Cunning, sir.”
The small ball was specially tailored with words engraved on it.
The degree of depression varied from word to word.
Using inner strength one could tell what the words engraved on the small ball were.
It was the same as touching a mahjong tile.
“Even if I drew someone else, I wouldn’t dance with them.” Fu Yunshen’s hand clasped around her waist took on a little more strength, tightening, “Yours.”
It was a promise.
It would never change forever.
**
After the ball was the banquet, so naturally there would be no more live broadcasts.
The quarterly presentation today was a mixed bag, and the online discussion is constantly in the midst of rising fervor.
Weibo was even paralyzed when Fu Yunshen showed up at the lectern.
The top five hot searches were all followed by the word “explosion”.
#FuYunShen, CEO of venus group
#The pride of China
#Century’s leading dancer
#Ying Zigui
#Tonight, everyone is a miracle pill party
The super-talk of the Divine Medicine couple was a frenzy, with all the tweets of the lucky draw.
[Sisters, our cp must be real!
The wedding will probably be broadcast live later!
The video clip is out, look at it.
I’m going to save it and watch it a hundred times a day.
This side of the party.
Master Zhong, who had hidden his work and reputation, pushed up his gla*ses and looked at the rising number of video plays, very satisfied.
When he returned to China, he would cut a few more videos.
Master Zhong happily went to the table to eat his snacks.
After he finished eating, he looked at the guests who were talking excitedly and suddenly realised a serious problem.
Where had his good-sized granddaughter and grandson-in-law gone?
On the other side.
Catherine and a celebrity were sitting in the corner.
Although Fu Yunshen had not given an eviction order, James did not have the face to stay any longer.
Instead, Catherine asked to stay, but her heart was still tormented.
What girl could bear to be rejected in public?
Moreover, after rejecting her, Fu Yunshen turned around and went to invite another girl.
It stung to the core.
Catherine’s eyes fell with tears of anguish, completely out of control.
“Catherine, don’t be upset.” The celebrity woman comforted her, “It’s just the opening dance, it’s not like they’re a real couple, how old is Executive Fu this year?”
“Not even twenty-five, elite men like him don’t even get married that early, you have plenty of opportunities.”
Catherine bit her lip, her voice choked, “But he refused to dance with me.”
“Men are good at saving face, how could he possibly accept it when your father gave him a public show of force?” The famous princess shook her head, “If you ask me, you shouldn’t be so eager, it’s best to take things slowly, in terms of status, is there anyone more worthy of Executive Director Fu than you?”
The two princesses in front of Catherine were already married.
When Catherine heard this, her heart felt better: “So it’s not that he doesn’t like me?”
“Of course, you are young and beautiful and of noble birth, what man wouldn’t like that?” The famous lady laughed, “I’ll tell you what, when the party is over later, you go straight to his room and find him.”
“Put aside your dignity as a princess, apologise and show some softness, men eat that up.”
Catherine hesitated for a moment and nodded her head.
It was true that she liked Fu Yunshen.
The j country also needed the venus group badly.
If they could be bound through marriage, they could kill two birds with one stone.
Catherine thought about it and put down her gla*s, “I’ll go to the washroom.”
The famous lady smiled and waved her hand.
Inside the lavatory.
Catherine entered a cubicle and began to put her clothes together in the mirror.
There was a conversation going on at that moment, it was two other men.
“Did you see that Miss Ying and a male go into the a302?”
“Yes, but I didn’t see who the man was, but it seems that his hair is a bit grey and he must be quite old.”
“No wonder they separated as soon as the opening dance was over, so Miss Ying already has another man.”
If it were them, they would have stayed with Fu Yunshen for a while longer.
This kind of good opportunity could definitely not be let go.
Catherine listened and narrowed her eyes.
She had just looked up on the internet specifically and found out that Ying Zidian had many admirers in China.
Not only was she a student at Imperial University, she was also the owner of First Light Media.
She was also known for her cleanliness and didn’t even have a single scandal.
But many people thought she had a golden master behind her.
And now, Ying Ziji has got a room with a wild man, or an old man.
It could only be the golden master.
What kind of a stir would it cause over in China if it was exposed?
