"The... financial oligarchy with roots in North America...?"
Hearing his answer, the woman beside him spoke in astonishment and disbelief, quite surprised,
The male friend beside him glanced at the innermost floor of the hall, and asked in a low voice with tension and expectation in his eyes:
"Is it true that there are related representatives present tonight?"
"I don't know, but being able to get cooperation with people at that level, even the most basic ones, has huge benefits."
I also took a look at the class that they couldn't get in touch with at all, and imagined how great it would be if I could get in touch with the characters there.
The young man noticed the figure who directly rejected him just now, and the anger 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 understand French and a nervous girl.
After a slight pause, he suddenly purposely sped up his speech and whispered with a low laugh:
"I believe that at least some companies can buy a batch of better 'hearing aids'."
The social field of fame and fortune is also an arena where conversational skills are used to gain face, status, and the right to speak. He poured the ridicule he suffered just now on people lower than himself, and he felt that he had regained his position in the circle.
The two people around him who heard these words cast a strange look at Fangran and Tang Bing.
And Tang Bing, who had been listening nervously and cautiously, listened to this sentence that he didn't quite understand, and it took him a while to figure out the meaning before he realized that it was a cryptic and nasty joke to bully them for their weak French!
Holding on to his expression, his expression suddenly froze, and he bit his lip angrily, not knowing whether this sentence should be translated or not.
While thinking about the dance party last time, although he didn't understand what they were talking about, he noticed the look on Tang Bing's face and felt an unfriendly atmosphere.
Fangran glanced at the young man, and a trace of boiling darkness quietly escaped from his lowered eyes.
At the same time, Mei Landuoer, who was surrounded by everyone not far away, also noticed his gaze just now, and saw that he was having a good conversation with the two people around him, deliberately ignoring the other two, which made the Huaxia girl feel a little uncomfortable Standing still, resisting the restraint and embarrassment.
boring move... .
"I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Henry Congreve, this is my friend Hardy Leacock, and this is Miss Cora Bessemer."
As if he just remembered, he raised the champagne in his hand towards Fangran and 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 condescending chuckle.
And when he heard his words, even if he was not happy, but thinking that tonight's action must be very important, knowing that Fangran could not understand French and could only rely on himself, Tang Bing bit his lips and tried to answer:
"I am... "
But Fangran suddenly reached out to block her.
"study... "
"Although I don't know where you were humiliated by being rejected, I want to change to another place to regain my psychological balance,"
Then when Tang Bing was surprised that he could understand French, and the other two were surprised that he spoke suddenly,
The young man saw the black-haired young man in front of him speak slowly and softly, exuding the aura of a superior who didn't seem to care about the occasion at all, reached out and took the champagne in his hand, and slowly poured it on the ground.
He raised those eyes that seemed to be looking at a clown and sneered contemptuously.
"But put away your ridiculous ego, idiot."
Following the realization of himself that night in London, Fangran woke up from the bottom of his heart, listening to the cheering voice of the wanton child, he didn't care whether they understood or not, and directly raised 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 obedient in a daze, while the young man who had been completely stunned looked at the champagne on the ground in front of him in disbelief, his eyes slowly enlarged in shock,
And the two people beside him were also stunned by the absurdity of this scene. They really didn't expect that the other party would not care about etiquette at all on this occasion, stepping on the unspoken rules of not tearing faces in the social field, and directly fought back brazenly!
"etc!"
It was only when Fangran and Tang Bing were about to turn around and leave that Henry Congreve realized that even if he didn't understand what the other party said just now, he still had that contemptuous and mocking expression and poured his own champagne at his feet. move,
It was like a slap in the face that saw through his own thoughts, and slapped him hard at the most embarrassing place!
The expression on his face rose with anger, he grabbed Fangran's arm and tried to hold his figure, but found that he didn't hold him at all. The figure of the black-haired young man in front of him was as solid as a rock, but he was staggered. step forward!
"Stop! What arrogance! You must apologize to me for your actions!!!"
Feeling the strangeness in the eyes of the two people around him, and knowing that he had to redeem the loss of face no matter what, he shouted in a raised voice that could be heard nearby.
This voice mixed with angry words sounded very strange in the dance hall with soothing music fluttering, and immediately attracted the attention of people nearby.
Many people looked at the source of the sound, and whispered in surprise when they saw the Chinese face of the black-haired youth clearly, and a small commotion spread in the hall.
At the same time, on the innermost floor of the ballroom,
In the area where the people with the highest status in the ball were located, several figures with hidden majesty were surrounding a formal and elegant woman in a black evening dress.
With an equal posture and words, he chuckled, knowing that the seemingly 'young' woman in front of him was the agent of the new controller of the financial empire in Europe, and this identity alone was worthy of their seriousness.
"Heh... It seems that the young people seem to be a little lively."
I also noticed a little commotion on the outside. A man who looked like he was in his fifties but was still tall raised his glass and chuckled, while the others smiled knowingly. Given their status, it was only worth laughing. ,
Only the woman in the black evening dress was taken aback the moment she saw the situation clearly!
"Sorry, everyone, I'll excuse you first!"
Then she directly apologized, pulled away, and walked towards there quickly, causing several people around to look at her figure who seemed to be thinking of something urgent.
The sound of the heels tapping on the floor tiles was clear and continuous, as if she was hiding her eagerness. Others in the ballroom also noticed her actions in surprise,
After subconsciously getting out of the way, she realized that she was heading in the direction where the quarrel was happening!
I was surprised in my heart that the big person in the innermost layer is still the center of the topic, why did she suddenly intervene in the young people's affairs, seeing her figure passing by quickly, Mei Landuoer was also slightly surprised in her eyes,
Then at a moment that no one expected,
She walked quickly towards the black-haired youth, and spoke with respect and incredible surprise in her tone:
"Your Excellency, why are you here?"
