After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ming leaned wearily back in his chair, rubbing his temples with his hands. He felt his mind was in a complete mess. Zhou Ming never imagined that a foreign girl he met in Beijing four years ago would have such a big head of hair. The first-in-line heir to the Harburg family. If Austria also retained a royal family like the United Kingdom, she might have a chance to become queen.
Of course If you think about it, when he met her in Yanjing four years ago, she was accompanied by bodyguards and a white butler who stood aloof. Even her willingness to wear gloves and shake hands with him was like a favour tone, which also truly reflected the nobility of her status; in addition, Zhou Ming also remembered her saying that she was born in Austria, and she spoke authentic German herself.
All of made him think she was the daughter of some Austrian noble family, not that she was the princess of the most prestigious family.
Zhou Ming Even now, after hearing from Du Peng about her identity, he still feels very incredulous, and more questions have come up, such as why did she go to Peking University to provoke? Judging from the way she asked for directions on the road, she obviously did it on purpose. And now now she is helping the Addams family, why is that?
Zhou Ming felt that there were many mysteries about her, and he had no idea why. Frowning, he thought about it for a moment, then picked up the phone. This time, however, he called Edward.
'Hello Hello, Mr. Governor is currently in the middle of a particularly important meeting. I am his assistant, if you have something to say to me, I will pass it on to him after the Governor's meeting.'
The phone It took a while before someone picked up the phone. Despite the assistant's clear words, Zhou Ming said, 'Hello, this is Zhou Ming. please help me. Mr Governor, tell him that I have important news about Caitlyn and that he should interrupt his meeting if possible, immediately!'
As Edward's assistant, he obviously understood the importance of Zhou Ming to Edward now, so after just two minutes, he heard the phone change hands: 'Mr. Zhou Ming, I'm very sorry, I'm in a meeting right now and can't leave for long. My assistant tells me you said you had something important to tell me about Caitlin. Do you have any ideas yet?'
Although Edward over there had already tried his best to hide it, but Zhou Ming could still hear his panting, which was obviously from running to a place where no one could see him. This made Zhou Ming feel a little embarrassed. 'Mr. Governor, it's not that I have any ulterior motives, but I have a question for you. Is there any way you can arrange for me to meet with that Ms. Caitlin?'
As soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, Edward yelled, 'What, you want to meet Caitlin?'
But then Edward also came to his senses. He was still in a meeting, so he tried to remain calm and lowered his voice. He said, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, please forgive me for being blunt, but this is exaggerating. I don't understand why you would think this.'
'I think the governor Governor, you should remember that just this morning I told you that I had a chance encounter with Princess Caitlyn. So if I could see her again, I think I might be able to convince her to stop helping the Addams family.' Ming Zhou continued said, 'Since Catelyn was the one who came up with the idea of the Addamses oppressing the Kennedys, wouldn't it be enough for us to convince her not to do it?'
After After a long silence, Edward said with a strong sense of indignation, 'Mr. Chou Ming, please understand that I am the Governor of Massachusetts. I am really in a meeting right now and I don't have time to play this kind of unproductive joke with you.'
'Governor I hope you understand that I wasn't joking either...'
Zhou Ming explained to Edward, but Edward interrupted him very rudely before Zhou Ming could finish: 'So you want to prove that you're an idiot?'
Edward then then calmed down a little and continued, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, I hope you understand that I asked you to come back because I want you to help the Candini family, not to see you prank here. I know that that girl Catrina is very beautiful, and it's hard not to want to conquer her, but if you really have some special needs, Mr. Ming Chow, you can tell me, and I can help you find whatever you like, as long as you don't play these stupid jokes with me!'
'Okay, this meeting on my end is really important, and I hope that Mr. Zhou Ming can use your clear mind to think more about everything, and please wait until I finish my work before talking about anything else.'
With these words Edward hung up the phone, and Ming looked at the phone, a little between tears and laughter, because from Edward's words, he felt that Edward had taken him for a lecherous man who coveted Caitlin's beauty.
Although Ming also admitted that Caitlin had an irresistible beauty, but he himself was not to the point of letting his lower body dominate, not to mention the fact that he also had women like Mu Qing and Tang Ran, who were not bad looking, by his side.
'I really just want to meet her and chat! I already told you that I had a chance encounter with her four years ago, so why won't you believe me?'
Zhou Ming put down the phone and muttered to himself. But then he thought, since Edward's approach was not going to work, perhaps he could try a different approach. So he then called up the Chinese Consulate-General in New Cheng Jun, the Chinese Consul General in New York, and asked straightaway, 'Consul Cheng, I'm sorry, but I was wondering if you could put me in touch with Nordstrom? I need his help with something.'
Zhou Ming remembered Four years ago, Caitlin said that she learned his name through Nordleiman, so he might be able to contact her through Nordleiman. As for finding Cheng Jun, the reason was very simple. After all, since he was looking for such a pretty girl, it was better not to let Lin Muqing and Tang Ran know, even though he really didn't have any intentions in that regard.
The estate is located in the White Hills Forest north of Brighton. It is a very medieval-looking castle, but of course this is only the appearance. In fact, there is plenty of modern equipment inside, are numerous, whether it is the internet or the radio signal, countless members of the Adams family or the service staff here are walking back and forth in the castle.
Although since the founding of the United States there has been no such feudal concept as hereditary fiefdoms, the protection of private property in the United States is supreme. As the Constitution says: Private property is sacred and inviolable.
However, in this castle been clearly labelled as an Adams property, there is one place that all Adams family members are forbidden to enter: the backyard of the castle. Here there is a small hillock, at the foot of which at the foot of which grows a patch of lavender, and on the slope of which stands a small, separate castle. This was originally the private domain of the clan chief, but now it has become a separate territory.
Apart from the Adams the head of the Adams clan, Christo, no one else can enter freely. It is like a small world within the Adams Manor, because Princess Catelyn of Harrogate lives here.
It is now It is morning, and Catelyn is sitting in her study reading. In her hands she is holding the famous book 'Pride and Prejudice'.
Suddenly a figure appeared at Catelyn's window: 'Your Highness, please close the window for a moment, because the servants will be caring for the lavender later, and I don't want any dirty things to soil your sacred room.'
Catelyn put down her book. She looked up and saw that it was indeed her housekeeper, Caitlin. She got up and smiled at her and said, 'No need. You should remember what I once told you: if you breathe in deeply, you can see miracles. If I close the window, I'll be closing the miracle outside. Besides, has abolished the monarchy, then the grand duchy I have inherited doesn't actually exist, does it?'
'But if you let a speck of dust settle on your carpet, that would be a mortal sin!' the butler insisted. 'And you are the Grand Duke of Vienna, a sacred power that no one can take away!'
'But I don't care about it,' Caitlyn said. 'Since we are living here, we must accept everything about this place. If we continue to harbour our arrogance and prejudices, it will only highlight our stupidity.'
As Caitlyn's words, a burst of applause and exclamations of admiration could be heard: 'Only Her Highness Caitlyn could have spoken such wise words!'
Caitlyn and the butler turned to see that it was indeed Adams clan leader Kristo and his son Robert.
Kristo bowed to Katelyn, said: 'First of all, I need to apologize to you. Your Highness, I did not mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just couldn't bear to interrupt your wisdom, otherwise it would be a very rude and ungentlemanly act.'
Katelyn gave a slight smiled and lightly skipped over the topic: 'What happened to Mr. Cristo's sudden arrival? Because I didn't see any effective actions by the Candini family in the news.'
Christo once again gave Caitlyn another bow and said, 'Yes, Your Highness, because I did not come here presumptuously this time, it is not because the Candini family has taken any action. In fact, under Your Highness's series of arrangements, with the Candini family's ability and wisdom, they simply do not have the ability to turn things around.'
Christo said and paused before continuing, 'The reason I came this time is the return of Hua Xia Zhou Ming.'
'Zhou Ming?' Caitlin asked curiously, 'Isn't he the Hua Xia person who disrupted the entire situation in Brighton that Mr. Christo mentioned to me earlier?'
Christo nodded and said yes. He then told Catelyn about how he had dropped Edward's governorship to personally go to Etrey to invite Zhou Ming, saying, 'I think since Edward is willing to lose face, on behalf of the Candini family, they must have placed all their last hopes on this Zhou Ming. Then Your Highness, if you attack a little more and defeat this Hua Xia person, they will be completely desperate.'
Caitlin looked at Cristo and asked, 'Do you think so? But I don't think so. I think it would be best to wait and see what they do. Unless you have a better idea, Mr. Christo?'
'What idea could I possibly have?' Christo continued, "I just feel that Your Highness could bestow some of your wisdom...'
'Is Mr. Christo saying that I'm being passive-aggressive?" Caitlyn asked.
Christo hurriedly shook his head and said no. Caitlyn also said to him, 'Since Mr. Christo still believes in me, please be patient. I think we will all look forward to what kind of surprise the governor will bring us when he puts down such an important task.'
At the end of the sentence, Cait laughed. 'To be honest, I've always heard that if the situation permits, I would like to meet this Hua Xia Zhou Ming in person.'
Caitlyn's last remark left Cristo and the butler dumbfounded.
