Chapter 651: Marriage Alliance?
Translator: Lordbluefire
After hearing Yan Zixuan mention the third family, Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but ask, “Who is in the other family?”
Yan Zixuan said, “I heard that people call their leader ‘King’. He is someone that controls the global economic trends. But over the years, this King has become increasingly mysterious, never appearing in public. Gradually, he delegated power, allowing everyone to develop together. The King’s broad-mindedness is quite admirable. After all, anyone who has reached this level would want to dominate, but the King did not. Our Country A’s royal family and Karl’s family developed under his watch, and the King has never said a word.”
Yan Zixuan continued, “The King and the founder of the Loong Corporation are two of the most mysterious and capable people in the world today. One has a broad mind, and the other has the ability. Our royal family and the Karl family have accumulated wealth through generations, but the Loong Corporation has relied on themselves entirely, catching the wind of technology!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but ask, “Who is this King?”
Yan Zixuan shook his head. “I don’t know. No one knows who it is so far. He is very low-key, unlike Karl’s family, who wants to publicize everything. However, the King will not cooperate with us. They are used to going their own way, and they have a family rule passed down from their ancestors not to interfere with the world’s economic trends or participate in power struggles. They may have partners in this world, but they will never cooperate with families like ours. So don’t think about the King. Focus on winning over the Loong Corporation, the Eastern Dragon!”
Shen Ruojing listened to his words and fell into deep thought.
She used to know only about the three major economic powers, and now they had finally shown their heads.
This made her understanding of the world much clearer.
Although she and Chu Cichcn were already very strong, there were always people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens in this world. She didn’t know who was more powerful between Chu Cichen’s leader, the Eastern Dragon or the King, but it was clear that the King had a legacy, while the Eastern Dragon had reached this height on his own.
So there was no way to compare the two.
Shen Ruojing thought about it and looked at Chu Cichcn. “Eastern Dragon loves his wife very much, right? So should we try to please his wife?”
Chu Cichen.”…”
He twitched the corner of his mouth, about to say something, but Shen Ruojing touched her chin. “No, his wife definitely won’t appear. This cooperation is already attracting the world’s attention, and if Eastern Dragon appears under the world’s scrutiny, he won’t be able to maintain his privacy in the future, especially since their leader has never shown his face.”
As Shen Ruojing said this, a vague guess formed in her mind.
But she glanced at Chu Cichcn and didn’t say anything.
Yan Zixuan had no idea what the two were thinking, and at the moment, he was saying, “Tomorrow, my father and I will also attend the reception. If Your Highness needs anything, feel free to ask us.”
Shen Ruojing nodded.
Yan Zixuan then left.
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen returned to the palace. Afterward, she didn’t ask Chu Cichen any more questions, trusting him to handle things properly. She only tried on the dress prepared by the royal family for her and went to bed early.
The next day, after waking up, she put on the dress she was going to wear today and headed to the banquet hall.
As Chu Cichen had said, he arranged for the Loong Corporation to arrive at 9 a.m.
As soon as Shen Ruojing arrived at the banquet hall, she saw that a group of people had already arrived.
Even Karl was there, and he brought Princess Daisy with him. When Princess Daisy saw Shen Ruojing, her eyes lit up, and she clearly wanted to come over. However, just as she took a step, Karl whispered something to her, and her face instantly showed anger. In the end, she didn’t come over and only gave Shen Ruojing an apologetic look.
Shen Ruojing didn’t pay attention to the two of them and instead walked toward King Jing Zhen.
To her surprise, as she approached, she saw that Jing Zhen’s face was a bit dark, and he was scolding Chu Cichen. “You’re using this kind of tea? It’s too low-grade! At least use a more valuable one! The leader of the Loong Corporation is so rich; his quality of life must be excellent. What kind of banquet have you prepared? It’s really…”
Chu Cichen coughed. “Father-in-law, he doesn’t like tea.”
Jing Zhen frowned with hesitation. “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
“How can you be sure? Besides, even if he doesn’t like it, we still need to prepare it. At least, we should show a sincere attitude. What if they come and see that we’ve prepared the tea so casually, and then don’t want to discuss any further cooperation? Also, although we’re not afraid of the Loong Corporation, they can join our alliance at this time and sign a cooperation agreement. They are supporting our Country A, so we should at least show some goodwill to our allies!”
While Jing Zhen was scolding, Karl walked over, smiling and saying, “Your Majesty, our Karl family has a favor to ask of you.”
Jing Zhen was slightly taken aback. “What is it?”
Karl looked back at Daisy behind him. “Well, I heard that the leader of the Loong Corporation is not yet married. Our Princess Daisy is so noble, so we would like to ask Your Majesty to help us make an introduction.”
As soon as Karl finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ruojing with a half-smile. “After all, Her Highness the Princess already has someone she loves and will certainly not be interested in Eastern Dragon, right?”
The Loong Corporation was a group, but they silently referred to the founder of the group as Eastern Dragon.
Karl was very interested in finding out who this Eastern Dragon was..
