At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Jinru received the new character design passed to him by Shi Huaiya. The name was only one character, using his surname. He was a former senior editor who later resigned to start a company. His main business direction was the entertainment industry and he was good at exploring potential scripts. .
"It seems that Longmen's entertainment industry is ushering in a new upgrade. This character design corresponds to the recent changes. It seems that the seeds I planted have begun to take root."
Zhou Jinru browsed the appendix and felt reassured. The Swire Group was still very capable, especially in Victoria, which was their home court.
Melanza did not show up for a long time. Instead, the Savile dressmaker apprentices came back and forth, recording various data. Zhou Jinru admired their professionalism.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the design drawing. After you confirm it, we will start the formal tailoring."
Soon, a comprehensive drawing was placed in front of him.
Zhou Jinru looked at it for a few times and said seriously: "Since I am in Victoria, everything should be done in the style of Victoria. It doesn't have to be too luxurious or too simple. I should be a green leaf to set off the flowers. You can discuss it."
This suit will probably only be worn once, so there is no need for him to be too demanding. Moreover, his identity is only as Melanza's male companion, not the protagonist, so he cannot steal the woman's limelight.
As a qualified Party A, there is no need to mention too much. Party B has full authority to handle it.
The entrance time for the dinner was from 5:30 to 7 o'clock in the evening. There was plenty of time. Zhou Jinru chose a guest room to serve as a temporary lounge, but he was not idle. He first removed the magazines from the two pistols hidden in his clothes and put them away. On the desk, he took out two daggers from the sleeves of his jacket and two Originium grenades from the side of the belt on his back. After thinking about it, he took out the revolver.
Going to a dinner party for a prince and a duke will inevitably lead to a rigorous search, because the guests arriving at the scene are quite distinguished. Zhou Jinru estimates that the organizer will use some shortcut devices for scanning to avoid embarrassment for both parties and the royal family losing face, so These self-defense equipment cannot be carried.
His persona is that of the boss of a company. He shouldn't have so many weapons and easily arouse suspicion from others.
"Puppet."
Zhou Jinru called out softly, and a black cat jumped out from his shadow, standing lightly on the desk. A pair of blue eyes scanned the large and small equipment and explosives, and then looked at his face.
The puppet didn't come out, but the cat came out, no, it should be said to be Ms. Christine.
Zhou Jinru felt that he could not face the black cat with the same attitude towards animals, and his eyes were inquiring: "Can you keep these things for me temporarily?"
Is there something wrong? After all, she is a black cat.
"Can."
The black cat opened its mouth and spat out a human word. Zhou Jinru was so frightened that he shook his body and almost took a step back. He finally stopped his impulse.
"Thank you, what do you need in return?"
Victoria specialty cat food, cat litter box, or something else?
The black cat's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he glared at Zhou Jinru, then jumped back into his shadow and disappeared.
Zhou Jinru froze on the spot, subconsciously reaching out to touch his face, his eyes a little wandering. Could it be that Ms. Christine saw his true thoughts?
After solving the problem, he sat in the chair next to the desk and began to predict in his mind what would happen tonight.
First, he was eyeing a certain lady of Melanza. Her boldness and unrestrainedness obviously frightened the Rose Sword Master, and he probably would not give her a good look. In fact, it was not a big problem. After they left Victoria, the other party would also lose their target. It’s unlikely we’ll catch up to Rhode Island.
Secondly, there is the true intention of Duke Edward. He held a private salon on the day of recovery. In addition to showing the generosity of the owner, he would probably also use this to enhance his own prestige. He was going eccentric and from the perspective of environmental protection. I don’t know if it would be possible. Become a dark horse.
Zhou Jinru poured himself a glass of water. After taking a sip, he felt that it was more comfortable to lie down, so he lay down on the soft bed in the guest room and closed his eyes to rest. He was a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest movement.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a rhythmic knock on the door. Zhou Jinru opened his eyes, breathed slowly, turned over and smoothed the wrinkled sheets, walked to the door and turned the handle, half of his body moved away, and his eyes looked through the gap beside the door. See who's out there.
"PhD?"
Melansha, who had already put on her costume, stood in front of the door and looked inside. Zhou Jinru then stepped out from behind the door and responded: "I'm here."
If there was something wrong just now, it was that there was something wrong with his opening the door and subsequent actions. From turning the door handle to observing the environment, he was on strong guard, with tight muscles and tense nerves, as well as subconscious effects. The exaggerated performance is a kind of stress reaction.
Melanza didn't know what to say, so she silently took a half step back to give enough safe space.
"Doctor, you should relax, there are no enemies here."
Zhou Jinru sounded familiar. It seemed that a Carters girl had said the same thing when he was at Longmen.
He nodded and admitted: "I came to Victoria with the idea of relaxing, and the celebration of Recovery Day is my holiday."
"sorry."
The girl lowered her head and apologized.
She seems to have disrupted the Doctor's vacation plans.
"Be confident, lady, and your beauty should bloom perfectly."
Zhou Jinru took a step forward, half-knelt in front of Melanza, held up her right hand, raised his face, his eyes were soft.
"My lady, have you found the feeling?"
Melanza stared at the man in front of her, feeling that her emotions were being stirred up bit by bit. The warm breath of the sun soothed her inner uneasiness, and the right hand she was holding trembled slightly.
Looking at the gradually rising confidence in the girl's eyes that were always as calm as ice, Zhou Jinru nodded secretly. Melantha just came back for too long, and her character was suppressed by the family's will. She suppressed it for a long time, which inevitably led to negative emotions of self-doubt. Thinking that they are too insignificant, they gradually form the habit of relying on the family system.
There is only one job that Zhou Jinru does, which is to use her emotional talent to guide her true self hidden deep in her heart, break the ice, unblock it, and regain her confidence.
"Erase personal will and put the family at the core of everything. I haven't experienced anything like this for a long time. I enjoy all the conveniences brought by the family and repay the family with myself. I didn't expect that Melanza's family is obviously a business family, but it still adopts the old methods. The aristocratic thinking model is inconsistent with the new atmosphere in Victoria, but it is no wonder that the fourth prince, who is the leader of the conservatives, would invite Melanza."
