Chapter 66. Guiding Melissa
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Jinru received the new character design passed to him by Shi Huaiya. His 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 scripts with potential.
.
"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 through the appendix and felt reassured. The Swire Group was still very capable, especially in Victoria, which was their home field.
Melanza did not appear for a long time. Instead, the Savile dressmaker's 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 Melantha'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 7:00 in the evening. There was quite enough 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 the two daggers from the sleeves of his jacket and the two Originium grenades on 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 loss of face for the royal family, so
These self-defense equipment cannot be carried.
His character is the boss of a company, so he shouldn't have so many weapons that could easily arouse others' suspicion.
"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 scanning the equipment and explosives, and then looking at his face.
The puppet didn't come out, it was the cat, 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 what would happen tonight.
First of all, there was a certain lady who was eyeing Melanza. Her boldness and unrestrainedness obviously frightened 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 Recovery Day. In addition to showing the generosity of the owner, he would probably also use this to enhance his own prestige. He was going eccentric from the perspective of environmental protection. I wonder if this would be the case.
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 flat on the soft bed in the guest room, closed his eyes and rested. He was a very 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, calmed his breathing, turned over and got up, smoothed the wrinkled sheets, walked to the door, turned the handle, and stepped aside half of his body, looking 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 all on 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 in 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 plan.
"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 held trembled slightly.
Looking at the gradually rising confidence in the girl's eyes that were always as calm as ice, Zhou Jinru nodded secretly. It was just because Melanza had been back for so long that her personality was suppressed by the family's will and suppressed for a long time, which inevitably led to negative emotions of self-doubt.
He believed that he was too insignificant and gradually formed 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.
"Eliminating personal will, everything is centered on the family. 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.
