Chapter 607: Siege
Prince Charlie completed a major deal that could not be put on the table, which quickly improved his reputation among the high-level officials of the Lionheart Kingdom.
However, he still stayed in the Great Xia Empire. As the queen said, since Charlie was able to obtain strategic equipment, he should naturally continue to work hard and continue to exert his advantages.
This result was expected, and it also made him completely give up.
You are unkind and I am unjust. If you continue to make small moves in private, then there will be no burden at all.
Therefore, Prince Charlie bought several properties in the new urban area of Plan City and started a business. He also moved out of the embassy and looked like he was going to live there for a long time.
Lionheart Ambassador Old Jack persuaded him several times, and finally had to compromise helplessly.
His identity as a prince was not valued in the Great Xia Empire, but he would not be bullied.
With the care of Earl Jeffreys, it is no problem to do some business and make a little money.
Of course, the business in public is not important, what is important is the business in private.
After recognizing the reality, Prince Charlie began to get closer to Earl Jeffreys, frequently attended the gatherings of the Daxia nobles, and built his own personal connections.
...
After finishing the work at hand, Qin was finally able to rest for a few days.
Because of several delays, he never visited the Smith family again.
Smith met him several times, and both of them felt awkward.
So taking advantage of his free time, Qin took the initiative to propose to visit and formally declare his identity.
In addition, the large-scale suspense drama of the royal daughter-in-law of Time Entertainment Magazine is also coming to an end.
Continuing to whet the public's appetite, the effect is getting worse and worse.
This visit is quite formal, and there is no need to hide anything.
Qin made special preparations, and his clothes were also embroidered with the symbol of a two-headed dragon.
Albert, as a close military officer, was fully armed and brought a team of royal knights.
The eldest prince is seventeen years old this year, and it is time to announce his marriage.
The two have been in love for two and a half years and are about to get on track.
Claire got off work early and turned off the lights as usual.
Frank, who had just returned from the military magazine, came over with a pile of newspapers.
"President? Are you off work?"
"I have something to do today. We'll talk tomorrow."
Claire was in a good mood.
But the stubborn Frank didn't see it at all and said directly: "I'm in a hurry to delay you for a quarter of an hour."
Claire looked at him helplessly. This senior's emotional intelligence... maybe this is God's balance!
"Not today, you decide on the sample issue yourself."
Claire was really in no mood to tangle with him today. She bypassed Frank and pressed the elevator. She just saw Qin's convoy arrive at the door.
Frank followed without any tact, muttering about work.
He sent Claire to the door all the way, and Qin stood there waiting.
Claire was helpless and spread her shoulders: "Wait for me for a few minutes."
Qin smiled. He was too familiar with Frank's character.
He motioned Claire to go ahead.
Claire grabbed the newspaper, read it quickly, and then stuffed it into Frank's arms: "Okay, I've read it, you did a good job, I'll give you a raise tomorrow, now go to work!"
Frank smiled happily, and then he saw Qin and the team outside: "Ah!? Did I delay you?"
"It's okay, you guys go ahead."
"Then I'll go first." Frank stumbled and ran away with the newspaper.
Claire complained helplessly: "Sometimes I don't know if he is playing dumb."
You see, his IQ has returned after agreeing to a raise. Is it really a great wisdom?
Qin quickly pulled Claire into the car: "Don't worry about it, Frank works like a cow and a horse every day, it's time to give him a raise."
To be honest, Claire is really a qualified capitalist, anyway, Frank deserves his salary.
The two got in the car, today's visit is of great significance.
Usually, the two talk a lot, but today they don't talk much.
All the way to Smith's house in silence, Qin grabbed Claire's hand: "Are you ready?"
"Of course!"
The besieged city finally began to close the door.
The Smiths stood at the door waiting. Since it was a formal visit with a public identity, they naturally had to follow the rules.
There must be a monarch and a minister before there can be a father and a son.
The place where the Smiths live is considered an aristocratic community. There are either small and medium-sized aristocrats or senior and middle-level government officials nearby.
The environment here is very good, and the public security is also first-class.
The neighbors on both sides are either rich or noble, and they are familiar with each other, belonging to a stable social circle.
It was strange that the Smiths waited at the door early, and the neighbors passing by even lowered the car window.
"Minister Smith, why are you off work so early?"
Minister Smith smiled and responded: "My daughter is back with her boyfriend today, let's wait for a while."
"Congratulations, what's the matter to have a wedding wine?" The neighbor congratulated and muttered in his heart, this prospective son-in-law is too grand to come to the door?
The old neighbors around knew that Claire had a boyfriend, and it seemed to be a small aristocrat.
This kind of status is also considered to be a good match, in line with current values.
As they were chatting, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and two rows of war horses turned into this street in advance.
The royal knight politely came to the car parked at the door.
"Sir, please move forward."
The black uniform, the silver-edged double-headed dragon logo, the emblem of the Augusta Knights, and the badges representing a series of identities such as noble status and family are very dazzling.
The gold and silver colors are very dazzling. Obviously, there are no ordinary people who can serve as the prince's personal knights.
Half are from civilian knights, and half are from the descendants of northern knights.
These people are the prince's team and the closest ministers.
The official who wanted to chat a few more words hurriedly asked the driver to drive forward.
It was not enough to drive to the door of his house. He ran forward a little bit before he dared to get off the car and stop to watch.
Then he saw a team of knights surrounding Smith, and a row of motorcades arrived at Smith's house under the escort of the knights.
The double-headed dragon flag in the hand of the flag officer was very conspicuous, which represented the royal family of Daxia.
Then Claire and Qin got off the car, the two of them were arm in arm, and were surrounded in the middle.
The neighbors were stunned. The Smith family was going to be rich!
"Your Highness, welcome to my humble home."
Smith expressed his welcome, without any lack of etiquette.
The prospective son-in-law is different from ordinary people, so he cannot be treated casually.
It's a bit awkward, but reality makes you feel awkward.
