As soon as Rick said this, the surrounding became silent.
Karl was stunned and looked at him incredulously. “What did you just say?”
Rick glanced at the crowd, smiled slightly at Chu Cichen, and deliberately deepened his northeastern dialect. “I said, our boss is already here!”
“…”
The expressions of Karl and Jing Zhen fell instantly.
Jing Zhen’s face was full of smiles, and he felt like he understood something. He then stepped forward, grabbed Rick’s hand, and asked, “You mean your boss has already come to Country A?”
Rick didn’t expect Jing Zhen to suddenly be so enthusiastic. Listening to Jing Zhen’s words, he nodded. “Yes.”
Jing Zhen’s face showed a look of realization.
That was right. Eastern Dragon himself must have been here all along, incognito, investigating Country A before agreeing to cooperate with the Country A royal family.
Otherwise, how could the Loong Corporation agree to cooperate with them directly…
Jing Zhen smiled at Karl. “It turns out 1 didn’t misunderstand Eastern Dragon’s intentions. But since you’re here today, where is your boss? When will he come?”
Rick didn’t know when his boss would show up, so he coughed and said, “Well, our boss will appear when it’s time! Like… when signing the contract!”
Jing Zhen nodded.
Karl couldn’t help but look around, hoping to spot Eastern Dragon in the crowd.
But with so many people around, it was impossible to tell who was who…
Moreover, both Country A people and Chinese people had yellow skin, which made it even more difficult for Karl to guess.
“Father, the guests are here. Let’s invite them to the living room first.”
Shen Ruojing’s timely reminder brought Jing Zhen back to his senses. He immediately made an inviting gesture to Karl, taking Karl and his two subordinates to the banquet area.
The group moved in a grand fashion.
Chu Cichen still followed Shen Ruojing.
Shen Ruojing looked at him and smiled. “Who do you think Eastern Dragon is? Is he hiding among us?”
Chu Cichen coughed and mysteriously said, “It’s possible, Jing Jing. What kind of person do you think he is?”
He tentatively asked a couple of questions.
Shen Ruojing touched his chin and then laughed. “Well, I think Eastern Dragon must be… a strong, burly man with a full beard!”
Chu Cichen.”??”
He immediately showed a surprised expression. “Why?”
Shen Ruojing pointed at Rick. “This guy has a strong northeastern accent, which he must have learned from someone. I remember when we were in college, there was a girl from the northeast in the dormitory next to ours.”
Chu Cichen. “And then?”
Shen Ruojing laughed. “And then when we graduated, all four girls in the neighboring dormitory had northeastern accents.”
Chu Cichen.”!!”
He held back his laughter.
Shen Ruojing continued, “So, Rick must have spent too much time with Eastern Dragon and picked up the northeastern accent. From this, we can judge that Eastern Dragon must be a man from the northeast. Since he can conquer Rick, it means he must be an even more impressive man than Rick. He can only be a burly and strong warrior!”
Chu Cichen.”!!”
He wanted to defend himself. “Actually, isn’t it possible that Eastern Dragon is just a normal man?”
Shen Ruojing looked at him with a smile. “Is that so?”
Chu Cichen nodded, wanting to say something more. But he suddenly felt that something was off about her words. Seeing the laughter in Shen Ruojing’s eyes, Chu Cichen understood that she must have guessed it already and was teasing him just now!
As Chu Cichen thought about this, he heard Jing Zhen’s words in front. “Rick, if 1 may ask, does Mr. Eastern Dragon still like watches?”
Rick immediately replied, “Naturally…”
Karl laughed. “Your Majesty, see? I was right, wasn’t 1? Eastern Dragon must like watches. You can’t entrust everything to your son-in-law. After all, the Chu Corporation doesn’t have many connections overseas…”
Rick.”??”
He looked at Karl in confusion.
Karl explained with a smile, “Your Majesty’s son-in-law didn’t prepare a gift for Mr. Eastern Dragon. I prepared a watch, but he even said that Mr. Eastern Dragon wouldn’t like it. Your Majesty even believed it…”
He then shook his head slightly. With a smile on his face, he said, “So, that’s why I said, ‘Your Majesty, you really shouldn’t trust your son-in-law…’”
(Son-in-law… The King’s son-in-law, isn’t that the boss?)
(The boss said Eastern Dragon doesn’t like watches?)
(That must mean…)
Rick suddenly said seriously, “Mr. Karl, I think you misunderstood. What I meant was, naturally, he doesn’t like them..”
