It turned out that Aria was not welcomed by her father after she broke off the engagement. After all, compared to her conservative father, the princess whose engagement was annulled has lost the face of the royal family.
Although Aria's fiancé at the time took part of the responsibility for breaking off the engagement for the sake of the unique gem, in this patriarchal country, Aria's divorce itself was the original sin.
So she was immediately locked up, and her treatment was repeatedly reduced.
Fortunately, Aria also figured it out. She didn't need to be married into that horrible family, and she wouldn't die inexplicably. Even if she was locked up, how long could she be locked up?
Shortly afterwards, the goddess of luck came, and Aria's father suddenly suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, unable to handle state affairs.
State affairs then naturally fell on her brother, Crown Prince Abdullah.
Aria's brother is still very good to Aria.
Although the two were not born from the same mother, Aria's mother was very kind to Abdullah when he was young, and Abdullah himself was also very kind and open-minded.
Abdullah was studying abroad when Alia was about to be married off. If this were not the case, Aria's life would not have had so many twists and turns.
So when Abdullah started to deal with the affairs of the kingdom, he immediately released Aria.
Abdullah studied economics, so after taking office, he reformed some of the country's policies. Although it was not completely anti-traditional, he at least did a lot of work on the restraint of women.
Zhu Yuxin said that she didn't see this - it wasn't right. At least Aria could openly appear at the reception now, which was indeed an improvement.
"My brother also asked me to get in touch with some specific businesses. He said that as a member of the royal family, you can't just appear in the media. You must know all aspects of the kingdom. Otherwise, even if you get married in the future, you will be easily embarrassed."
Seeing Aria saying this proudly, Zhu Yu felt that this girl had indeed changed, at least she was more confident.
It seems that her father's stroke is a good thing for this girl.
"By the way, let's talk about you." Aria took the glass of water handed over by Amina, took a sip, and then said: "I really didn't expect you to come here - in fact, I can be so free now. I should be grateful to you for your help, which at least prevented me from being married off..."
"No, no, no, that's the result of your own efforts." Zhu Yu waved his hand and said, "I didn't expect this to be your country. I came here to do a business. To be honest, I just traded a piece with others. The oil fields now need to complete the procedures as soon as possible.”
"Really?" Aria asked, blinking her big eyes, "It's just about the oil field?"
"Yes." Although Zhu Yu could see the expectation in Aria's eyes, he still couldn't lie and said bravely:
"I was looking for Ibrahim. Regarding this matter... I bribed him, hoping that the procedure could be completed as soon as possible. But after he got the money, he did not do anything for me.
I originally asked him about the situation today, but I didn't expect to see you, so I rushed over. I was very happy to see that you were doing well..."
Although Aria kept smiling, Zhu Yu could feel that there was a trace of disappointment in her smile.
It's a pity that I am not the knight who slayed the dragon and saved the princess. There are some things that I really don't want to worry about.
"Mr. Zhu, are you saying that you are about to have an oil field in our country?" Amina suddenly interrupted, "Where is it? Are you sure you want to complete the procedures as soon as possible?"
After Amina finished speaking, she winked at Aria.
Aria's eyes lit up and she looked at Zhu Yu.
"Yes, that's true." Zhu Yu nodded.
"That's great. I am participating in some matters related to the contracted extraction of oil fields in our country. I can solve this matter. How about this? I will come to you tomorrow and take you to solve this matter. How about it? "
"Thank you so much." Zhu Yu thought to himself that this was exactly what he wanted.
"Where do you live? If there is no place to stay, shall I take you to the hotel where the royal family entertains distinguished guests?" Aria suddenly became proactive.
"No need, we have a place to stay." Zhu Yu reported the hotel where he was staying to Aria, "Then I will wait for your news tomorrow."
Zhu Yu got out of the car, returned to Qin Fei, and then watched Aria leave.
With his eyes open, he could see Aria's car slowly leaving, but Aria herself kept looking at him through the car window.
And Amina was persuading someone from the side.
"Boss, is this matter done?" Qin Fei naturally knew Aria. I saw Ibrahim being so respectful to Aria before, so this matter should be easy to resolve, right?
"I hope so." Zhu Yu said, "I don't want to use rough methods unless I have to. After all, we still have to exploit oil here. It's just..."
He did not continue, hoping that everything would go well as Aria said.
The two returned to the hotel to rest.
The next day, after breakfast, Zhu Yu was waiting for news from Aria in the hotel.
But what surprised him was that instead of hearing from Aria, he received a call from Ibrahim's assistant.
At first, Zhu Yu thought Aria had said something to Ibrahim, so Ibrahim's assistant took the initiative to call.
But when he picked up the phone, what the other party said made him a little annoyed.
"Mr. Zhu, when will your money be received? Didn't I tell you before? The minister has spent a lot of energy to persuade several important people about your oil field.
The money you gave me before was simply not enough. When will the remaining five million be transferred? If you don't turn around, the Minister will ignore this matter!
We are not responsible for any losses caused by this!~"
When the other party said this, Zhu Yu became really angry.
During the conversation with Aria yesterday, Zhu Yu already knew that her brother Abdullah usually let go of oil field matters like this.
After all, although oil fields are big business in this country, the contracted oil fields are not small.
The country itself is basically located on a large oil field, so the country is very wealthy. In this kingdom, except for a few large oil fields that are being exploited by themselves, all other small oil fields are contracted out.
After all, the country does not have that much labor, nor does it have that much energy.
Moreover, contracting out the oil fields and attracting various forces to participate is also a good thing for the country.
At least bringing all interested parties together will make it easier to protect the country's interests.
So for things like this in the oil field, Ibrahim reported it to Abdullah, and it basically passed.
No need to spend money at all.
Aria even hinted that she could help Zhu Yu get the five million back.
Zhu Yu thought that since he gave away the money, there was no need to ask for it again. After all, it is very likely that we will have to deal with him again in the future.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually opened his mouth again now!
Without Aria's favor, Zhu Yu would have already had the urge to tie up Ibrahim and beat him up.
Want more money?
The other party probably thought that people like Zhu Yu were soft persimmons, so after the assistant finished talking, he also made it clear that the deadline for paying the money was today, and then hung up the phone.
Zhu Yu couldn't curse even if he wanted to, and felt a little aggrieved.
These guys are really using chicken feathers as arrows!
If it weren't for Aria, I wouldn't be able to get used to them, not to mention that I don't have no connections now!
But Aria hasn't called yet. Is there something going on?
Then I received a call from Aria.
"Mr. Zhu, I'm already at the door of your room. Is it convenient for you to open the door?"
Zhu Yu was a little surprised, stepped forward to open the door, and then saw Aria in full dress.
Dressed up beautifully!
Zhu Yu suddenly understood why Aria came a little late.
Although she still wears a headscarf, it is not worn in the traditional way, but draped over her head like a shawl.
Her hair was pulled up high, and the two gold ornaments on it looked like they were not designed by ordinary designers.
Aria herself was very beautiful, and she was dressed very delicately. Coupled with the blessing of being a princess, Zhu Yu felt "amazing" at just one glance.
Seeing Zhu Yu's eyes, Aria felt that it was really worth dressing up for so long.
"Sorry, I'm late." Aria took the initiative to enter and explained:
"A bodyguard reported what happened last night to my brother. My brother told me about you this morning. He hoped that I would be... cautious."
When Aria said this, she lowered her head, with a look of shyness and loss in her eyes.
She was really happy after seeing Zhu Yu and ignored many things.
In Zhu Yu's view, it was just a deal, but in Aria's view, Zhu Yu at that time was the warrior who saved him.
Then I found out that Zhu Yu is indeed rich now, but he also has many confidantes, including some European royal princesses!
Aria felt like she had been hit in the head.
Abdullah was very open-minded and did not order Aria not to see Zhu Yu. He just hoped that she would treat the relationship between the two people with caution.
Aria thought about Zhu Yu's attitude last night, and it became a little clearer.
This Pisces man does tend to develop into a scumbag when looking at his love history.
But Aria felt that this was not Zhu Yu's fault, he just met a few girls who liked him.
Not refusing, not taking a stand? (He is indeed a scumbag)
So after hesitating for a while, Aria felt that she should appear in front of Zhu Yu in the most beautiful posture.
"You are so beautiful today." Zhu Yu explained his gaffe, "I was a little rude."
"No, I'm very happy." Aria actually felt like a deer bumping around. After all, this was obviously challenging traditional customs.
If it was when his father was in power, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing!
It can't be allowed!
Aria is now even more grateful that her brother Abdullah is running the country.
"Ibrahim's assistant called me again just now." Zhu Yu said in a disgraceful tone. He really didn't want such an ambiguous atmosphere to continue, otherwise he didn't know what outrageous things he might do.
"Did you say something?" Aria felt that Zhu Yu's words were a bit disappointing, but there was nothing she could do about it. She had already talked about almost everything she needed to talk about last night, and now she didn't know what to say.
"He asked me to prepare another five million dollars, otherwise, this matter would be ruined."
"How can he be so shameless?" Aria suddenly became angry. This is a typical case of enriching one's own pockets!
"So..." Zhu Yu said.
"Let's go to the office building!" Aria couldn't sit still.
He had already promised Zhu Yu to settle this matter.
Now the other party suddenly starts asking for money again. Isn't this a slap in the face?
Aria felt a little regretful again. If she hadn't spent a lot of time dressing up and just made a call to Ibrahim, the matter wouldn't have reached this point.
The two cars drove to the office building one after the other.
It was still on the fifth floor. Because Aria was wearing a headscarf and only Amina was following her, the clerks did not recognize her.
After arriving at the place, Zhu Yu went to Ibrahim's office and saw his assistant at the door.
"Are you here?" The assistant had a hint of arrogance on his face. "Did you bring the money?"
"No." Zhu Yu said calmly.
"No? Are you kidding?" The assistant had originally planned to accept the transfer, but when he heard Zhu Yu said he didn't bring any money, he suddenly became unhappy and said with a sullen face:
"In this case, let's leave this matter as it is. Don't even think about the oil field changing hands. The oil field will be confiscated and then contracted... Just go!"
"Is this how you do things?" Suddenly a clear voice rang out, startling the assistant.
When he saw the person coming, he really jumped up in fright!
"Princess Aria?" The assistant didn't expect that the other party would actually invite the princess!
This is the minister’s nominal boss!
Crown Prince Abdullah personally announced at the meeting that Aliya could be responsible for some foreign contracting matters for oil fields. Theoretically, Aria can make the final decision on this matter!
Why did Zhu Yu hook up with this guy?
"Is this how you do things for the kingdom?" Aria stood out from the crowd. "You have brought shame on the kingdom! Where is the minister? Where is he?"
"Minister...he...he is in the office." The assistant originally wanted to cover up for the minister, but gave up after thinking about it.
If the other party can come here directly, it is likely that he has already found out the news that the minister is here.
If you lie, wouldn't that bring the disaster on yourself?
Just tell the truth!
"Get out of the way!" Amina, who was accompanying her, scolded her sharply, and the assistant hurriedly moved out of the way.
Some people who came to do business saw the excitement and immediately followed.
Amiya's aura at this time was completely different from when she met Zhu Yu before.
She walked step by step towards Ibrahim's office.
Amina knocked on the door and without waiting for a response, she opened the door and walked in.
Then a scream was heard inside, and a minute later, a beautiful female secretary in disheveled clothes ran out from inside, covered her face and squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.
There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd.
This kind of thing is actually common in literary works, but this is the first time we see it in public.
Aria showed an expression of disgust on her face, and then walked in.
Ibrahim knew something was wrong when he saw Amina. He hurriedly arranged his clothes and zipped them up, so that he was not embarrassed before Amiya came in.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Alia, how come you have time to come here for inspection?" Facing his immediate superior, Ibrahim did not dare to get angry, so he stood up and asked with a smile.
"I received a complaint from an investor saying that you didn't follow the procedures, so I came over to take a look." Aria has been in the scene these days, and she can easily find excuses for these things.
"What's the matter? We always act according to the rules." Ibrahim would not give Aria an excuse. He knew that Princess Aria was not very satisfied with him.
At first, Ibrahim thought Crown Prince Abdullah's decision was really ridiculous, but he was the Crown Prince, so whatever he said was what he said.
After the Crown Prince gained the trust of the Presbyterian Church, he naturally did whatever he wanted.
After Aria got involved in this industry, she initially had a learning attitude. In Ibrahim's opinion, this matter could not last long. After all, women have not occupied high positions in the kingdom since ancient times.
Unexpectedly, Aria was quite studious. After getting familiar with this business, she became dissatisfied with Ibrahim's way of doing things.
After being criticized several times without naming him, Ibrahim directly filed a black complaint against Abdullah.
Unexpectedly, after Abdullah understood the situation clearly, he turned around and criticized Ibrahim, asking him not to use the traditional methods of doing things. If you do not adapt to the development of the new situation, don't hold on to the United States too tightly and miss investment opportunities in emerging countries.
Ibrahim had no choice but to ease his relationship with Aria.
Now that Aria came to the door, Ibrahim suddenly panicked.
What Aria said, he immediately thought of Zhu Yu, and then he saw Zhu Yu walking in the door.
At this moment, Ibrahim had the thought of scolding his mother.
You have such a big connection, why did you give me money in the first place?
Just tell me your name and I will get it done for you without any hesitation!
He now suspects that Aria is fishing for law enforcement!
But he also knew that he was in the wrong, after all, the five million was actually collected.
I used to collect a lot of money, but I was in a high position and there was no one to supervise me. If the elders who should take care of it took care of it, naturally nothing would happen.
Ibrahim knew that the present time was different from the past. The moment he saw Zhu Yu, he knew that if he didn't give in, his life would be difficult in the future!
So at the first opportunity, Ibrahim immediately changed his mind:
"Princess Aria, Mr. Zhu, I know this matter. It was indeed my negligence!
I'll get this done right away! I will ask the Presbyterian Council for punishment. This is where I have neglected my duty... I also hope Princess Aria will give me this opportunity..."
Aria also didn't expect Ibrahim to change his tune so quickly. She didn't even have a chance to show off!
Fortunately, Aria was not a vegetarian and immediately said:
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you! Although our country is small, our rules are not small!
We treat investors as distinguished guests, and we must make them feel at home, rather than treating them as our pocketbooks!
Sort through all the recent things, see if there are no similar things, and do them all well! I don't want something like this to happen again! "
Aria's words aroused warm applause from the people watching outside!
