At the large dining table, only Su Chen and three others were seated.

Each of them was accompanied by a richly dressed servant.

One after another, exquisitely presented and brightly colored dishes were presented in front of Su Chen, instantly awakening his taste buds.

At this moment.

Another "native" dish was served.

On the plate, several pieces of "raw fish" and potato chunks were arranged together in the center.

The plate was also garnished with a little sour cream and a slice of whole-grain bread.

"Professor Su, please try this dish. It's herring that was just caught today from the west coast of Ruide!"

"This is the season when herring are at their fattest and most delicious. You've come at the perfect time. If you had come any later, you might not have been able to experience this wonderfully delicious dish."

The old king enthusiastically promoted it, saying it was his favorite dish.

"Herring? This... this can't possibly be comparable to canned herring, can it?"

These words, when they reached Su Chen's ears, immediately made him think of something.

In the diet of the Rudian people, there is that "surströmming" that is known as a biological weapon!

Su Chen didn't want to try.

But I could see the expectant look in the other person's eyes.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet, pick up a piece with my fork, and put it in my mouth.

"The meat is plump, tender, and juicy, and most importantly, it tastes incredibly delicious!"

This is the most direct sensation that herring gives to the taste buds after entering the mouth.

The herring has a sweet and fresh taste, and even retains the flavor of the Baltic Sea in Northern Europe, the deep ocean.

It seems that herring and canned herring are completely different foods.

Such dishes also broadened his horizons.

really.

The finest culinary experiences can only be enjoyed at state banquets of this caliber.

This delicacy is nothing like the bizarre dish of canned herring; it cannot be compared to it.

Seeing Su Chen eating with such gusto, the old king smiled knowingly.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the conversation moved on to the main topic.

The old king, somewhat impatient, put the last piece of herring into his mouth, then picked up the napkin beside him, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and asked directly:

"Professor Su, please forgive my intrusion, but I don't know what your parents do for a living in China? Do you have any siblings?"

"No, I don't have many family members. I've been living alone all these years."

Su Chen did not reveal any information about the Fang family.

After all, once the relationship was severed, the Fang family had nothing to do with him anymore.

This answer stunned everyone else present.

After a few seconds of pause.

Queen Sylvia, who was standing to the side, was the first to notice something amiss. "Oh, Professor Su, I'm so sorry, we shouldn't have asked that. Please forgive us if it caused you any discomfort."

"Sorry, sorry..."

After regaining his senses, the old king shook his head, expressing his regret.

They hadn't expected such an outstanding person.

He was an orphan!

It's important to understand that for someone to become a Nobel Prize-winning expert or scholar, the support of their family is absolutely indispensable in their development.

If someone achieves such success solely through their own efforts, it only proves that they are a genius among geniuses.

If such a genius could be recruited, the benefits to Ruidian would be unprecedented.

What pleased them even more was that the other party had no family.

Wouldn't it be easier to be "moved" by oneself then?

Seeing that Su Chen didn't seem to care.

The old king glanced at Lina, who was sitting next to Su Chen, and continued to ask:

"Professor Su, I wonder if you are familiar with the Royal Academy of Sciences? On behalf of the Royal Academy, I would like to extend a sincere invitation to you to become a Fellow of the Royal Academy!"

After listening, Su Chen was slightly stunned.

Then he thought to himself, "Is this another attempt to poach my employees?"

He rejected offers from Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Harvard University. His company is currently in its golden age of rapid development, and he has absolutely no time to engage in scientific research and teaching.

"Professor Su, I know you have established your own company in China, but that's nothing."

"As you know, our Ruidian healthcare system is definitely among the top three in the world. my country's pharmaceutical and medical equipment industries are also among the most developed in the world."

"Once you become a citizen of Ruidian, we will provide your company with even better development conditions. I guarantee that your company will be supported by the financial resources of our entire country!"

Before Su Chen could think it over, the other party offered another tempting offer.

That's true.

Now, if you want to get close to Su Chen, you can no longer just use bonuses and professional titles to win him over.

We'll definitely have to invest a lot of money.

Just as Su Chen was about to refuse, the old king dropped the final bombshell.

"Professor Su, I wonder if you are married?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was puzzled and simply shook his head instinctively.

“That’s great, Professor Su. What’s your impression of Lina?”

"Princess Lina?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen glanced at the foreign beauty sitting next to him.

now.

The other person was looking at him with intense passion.

She showed absolutely no embarrassment.

Su Chen didn't know how to respond to the old king's words, and after hesitating for a long time, he said:

“Um… Princess Lina is very beautiful, and she is also very warm and friendly.”

“Oh, really? Since you have a good impression of Lina, then as her father and King Ruidian, I would like to marry my daughter to you. What do you think?”
