Chapter 6 This is a meeting with the parents
Since Zhou Ming and Caitlin traveled from Brighton to Long Island in Charles, and then to Bermuda, which was finally arrived in Richmond, it was almost evening when they finally arrived in Harrusburg. This was still the whole flight, and the flight schedule was very good. In addition, there was no visa required to go to Bermuda from the United States, otherwise they would have to delay at least one day in Richmond before they could arrive. Chinese website★√★.く√ ★√.
In Harrusburg, Zhou Ming and Grand Duke Ferdinand had moved to the castle restaurant and sat face to face, while Caitlin went to the kitchen behind.
Half a month ago, Ferdinand had already dismissed all the servants in the castle, so he had to cook in person if he wanted to eat. Fortunately, Ferdinand had learned to cook, otherwise it would be really difficult to do. Originally, Ferdinand had to cook in person today, but how could Caitlin ask her father to cook? She volunteered to cook. Zhou Ming didn't know if this doll-like princess would be, so he asked ** to help her.
When they went to the kitchen, only Zhou Ming and Ferdinand were left in the restaurant. Zhou Ming felt a little pressure. After all, there was a grand duke sitting opposite him. A hundred years ago, he was the king of a certain country. People with this status would have more or less a kind of innate pressure from superiors, even if he looked haggard, even if he just sat there and said nothing.
On the other hand, this is also another form of meeting parents. Although Zhou Ming had experienced it in his previous life, it is incomparable to now, so this also puts some pressure on Zhou Ming.
Ferdinand just sat here and watched Zhou Ming not speak. Zhou Ming knew that he was waiting for him to speak first. Zhou Ming looked around. The restaurant had a very Rococo style, which was a gorgeous and unique free style. There was even a black and white sketch hanging on one side of the living room. The content inside seemed to be a dinner.
"Is this the last supper for the famous painting of Da Vinci?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.
Ferdinand nodded and replied: "That was the manuscript of Leonardo da Vinci, or it could be said that the draft of the famous painting. I think he is more in line with the style of the restaurant, so he hangs it there."
Ferdinand's tone was relaxed, as if he was introducing an insignificant ornament. However, Zhou Ming knew the difference between this so-called "decoration", because it was the manuscript of Leonardo da Vinci, the most perfect genius in Europe!
Although it is just a sketch, it is also the original work of Leonardo da Vinci, especially the draft of the last supper. Such a famous painting can be sold at least for a high price of one billion US dollars, no matter who buys it, it will take every effort to preserve and hide it. However, now, he is hanging casually in the restaurant as a decoration to embellish the restaurant, and even collecting it is not qualified.
Since Harrusburg has been taken over by Bankman Bank, Ferdinand cannot move anything in the castle at will, and naturally it is impossible for him to do this on purpose. In fact, he has always been by his side and he does not have enough time to do this.
It is precisely for this reason that we can see from this perspective the strong foundation of the Harrusburg family.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I really didn't expect that the Harrusburg family with such a foundation could fall to this point. I suddenly thought about whether it was a mistake for me to come to Bermuda in such a hurry!"
Zhou Ming's sudden words surprised Ferdinand, but he realized it after looking at the draft of the last supper on the wall. However, he was very surprised: "It seems that you don't think this is a mistake, right? Otherwise, you shouldn't say it, because I have seen too many people who can't speak when facing the power that comes out of your own range of endurance."
Zhou Ming shrugged meaninglessly: "I really feel that I am still too anxious, but I don't think it's embarrassing to say this. After all, I have only been four years since I graduated from university and entered the financial industry. How could it be compared with a thousand-year-old family?"
"Just as you said before, it is normal for me to be surprised by the foundation of a family," Zhou Ming said. "In my opinion, only those idiots who are unwilling to face reality and are swollen and fat are the most embarrassing."
Ferdinand was lit up at Zhou Ming's words: "You actually have such an idea? You know that many people cannot pass their own level. Whether they are noble kings or ordinary servants, they always think of their dignity and are not allowed to admit their mistakes. They will always try their best to find various excuses to deny them, or simply not face them, and you are the only exception."
Zhou Ming nodded: "Yes, I used to be the same. As long as others disagree with me a little, I will think it is a trampling on my dignity, and I will become a furious lion."
Speaking of this, Zhou Ming paused before continuing: "But later I experienced some amazing things and was reborn. Looking back at my previous behavior, they were actually very naive."
"It seems that you have indeed been reborn, because as far as I know, many people cannot truly understand this truth until the moment before their death." Ferdinand looked at Zhou Ming and said, "Maybe this is why you have achieved what you are today."
Zhou Ming Xiaoxiao didn't respond, because what he said was rebirth and rebirth that Ferdinand understood were completely different concepts. After all, he was a human being in two lives, which was equivalent to having died once. If he couldn't understand such a simple truth, he couldn't see the simplest things, and he looked at the so-called dignity higher than the sky like some young people who didn't understand anything, then he would have lived in vain in his previous life, but Ferdinand's next words made Zhou Ming even more interested.
"But in my opinion, what makes you even more surprised is your confidence. It is not the stubbornness you pretend to be, nor the slap in the face you say, but a kind of affirmation of your own ability, because you understand that even if you make a mistake, you can find ways to make up for it, so you are not afraid to admit your mistakes. This is the most important thing." Ferdinand said.
Among all the conversations in Harrusburg, only this sentence has the greatest influence on Zhou Ming. In my previous life, I actually didn’t want to be confident, but I didn’t have any skills at that time. Once something went wrong, I didn’t know what to do. How could I be confident?
In this life, because I have the future, on the other hand, I also have the idea of "I am afraid of a ball when I am resurrected." No matter what difficulties I encounter, I am full of confidence. It is precisely this way that I can calm down when I first met Mr. Yang and Chairman Du, and this mentality has gradually affected myself until today.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming suddenly asked him: "Your Excellency, that is to say, do you believe I can help Harrusburg?"
"I'm sorry for the young gentleman, I don't believe it. After all, this world is not as simple as you think." Ferdinand shook his head and said. This answer surprised Zhou Ming, but it was reasonable. Ferdinand then said, "But... I can look forward to it."
Such an ambiguous answer made Zhou Ming speechless, and at this moment, Caitlin's beautiful voice suddenly came: "What are you talking about? It seems that you are very happy."
Zhou Ming looked in response and saw Caitlin pushing a dining cart over, with several plates on it, with fried steak, cheese rolls and baked potatoes on it. The aroma of Caitlin pushing the dining cart over proved that these dishes were really good. Zhou Ming also saw the ** who came with Caitlin. From his expression, Zhou Ming also understood that the soldier king really only fought in the kitchen.
Zhou Ming was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to really know how to cook?"
Caitlin smiled shyly and was very charming. She brought the plate to the table and said, "Actually, this was learned from the Baishan Forest Manor, just in case she will be away one day and I will go hungry."
Zhou Ming knew that the Maria that Caitlin mentioned was the female housekeeper who had been with her in Adams Manor. They thought they understood their situation. Maria could not guarantee that she could live until she left with Caitlin. After all, the world is dirty and nothing is guaranteed in the face of interests. In order for Caitlin to take care of herself, Maria taught her how to cook.
"I'm sorry, it's my father's incompetence that has implicated you!" Ferdinand said very much.
Caitlin smiled and comforted him, "It doesn't matter! Father, don't you think I'm normal now? Haven't you taught me since childhood that the sufferings are all the way toward future happiness? That's why I brought you Zhou Ming, so you should be happy!"
Ferdinand looked up at Zhou Ming, and he smiled and nodded, "Yes, I should be happy!"
Listening to the conversation between the father and daughter made Zhou Ming feel a little embarrassed because he seemed to have become the prince consort appointed by the Harrusburg family.
In this way, the supper was over. Zhou Ming and ** went back to their room separately. Zhou Ming was lying on the bed and was about to think about what happened today, the door of the room was knocked. Zhou Ming thought it was **. After all, as his personal bodyguard, he might be a little worried about living in two rooms, but he could only come back tonight for Ferdinand's face.
However, what Zhou Ming never expected was that when Zhou Ming opened the door, Caitlin was at the door, which made Zhou Ming stunned at that time.
Caitlin stood there, lowering her head, a pretty face as beautiful as a flower, blushed, and her hands rubbed the corners of her clothes, as if she was a little shy.
"That... Caitlin, are you doing something?" Zhou Ming asked.
After Zhou Ming asked this, Caitlin's cervix was buried even lower. After cowardly for a long time, he mustered up the courage to look up and said to Zhou Ming: "My father allowed me to come. He said that since we are destined to get married, I... can spend the night in your room tonight."
"What? Stay overnight here?"
Zhou Ming was surprised and said, if Zhou Ming was just a little surprised by Caitlin's arrival before, then after hearing Caitlin's words, Zhou Ming was completely confused.
On the other hand, Caitlin seemed to have used all her courage to say this. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhou Ming anymore.
