"OK, thanks."
Griffith thanked the girl in English for offering to show him the way. Just as the girl was excitedly preparing to lead the way, Griffith showed no sign of leaving.
Griffith then began asking Su Ningshuang other questions about Shanghai University, deliberately stalling for time and refusing to immediately head to the School of Finance with the girl from before. Since he couldn't go alone with Su Ningshuang, Griffith had no choice but to abandon this step and move on to the second step of his plan.
What he needs to do now is stall for time.
Su Ningshuang remained indifferent to Griffith's questions and did not answer them; it was the proactive girl who answered them all again.
If Su Ningshuang hadn't made an appointment with Ye Chen, and Ye Chen hadn't arrived soon, Su Ningshuang would have turned around and left long ago. She wouldn't have stayed here to pay any attention to this foreign man. She sensed something was off about him.
Thanks to Griffith's "procrastination tactics," the "thing" he was waiting for finally arrived.
Amidst the astonished gazes of many passersby and students, an incredibly luxurious convoy of several Rolls-Royce Phantoms slowly drove towards them.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom leading the way was a custom-made extended version, costing several times more than a regular Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Besides, this bespoke Rolls-Royce Phantom has one more truly unique feature!
That is the large, distinctive emblem on the Rolls-Royce Phantom – a proud lion with two swords beneath it.
This luxurious motorcade, along with its distinctive patterns, attracted the attention of almost every student on the road.
Finally, the luxury convoy stopped beside Griffith, and then the passenger door of the lead, a custom-made Rolls-Royce Phantom, opened, and a foreign butler in a tuxedo stepped out.
"Your Excellency, I have finally found you..."
After getting off the car, the foreign butler quickly walked up to Griffith and greeted him respectfully.
As he spoke, the old butler handed a document to Griffith.
Griffith pretended to take the document and started reading it. This was his second step in the plan. Originally, he planned to have the old butler appear after Su Ningshuang brought him to the School of Finance, and then solemnly invite Su Ningshuang to dinner.
His first step in the plan failed, so he had to bring forward the second step.
In his second step of the plan, the luxury car fleet was secondary; what he really wanted to flaunt was not his wealth, but his aristocratic status!
After all, there are so many wealthy people in the world, and a fleet of luxury cars is nothing special; people are probably used to it. But his aristocratic status makes it different—it's extremely rare!
If he were to directly boast to Su Ningshuang that he was a nobleman, it would seem particularly abrupt and might leave a bad impression on her. Therefore, his steward and the "family crest" came into play.
Rolls-Royce Phantoms aren't particularly eye-catching, even bespoke ones, and you can occasionally see them in many big cities. But the emblem on his Rolls-Royce Phantom is something that has absolutely never been seen in Shanghai before!
The proud lion and two swords on his Rolls-Royce Phantom are his family crest.
In the West, most ancient and illustrious noble families had their own coats of arms, which were the symbol of Western nobility and a reflection of their status and position.
Clan crests are usually marked on carriages, rarely on cars, but Griffith, wanting to show off, specially had them affixed to his car.
"Your Excellency?!"
"Holy crap, he's actually a nobleman, a count at that! That's incredible. That design must be his family crest."
"I never expected to meet an earl. I've learned something new."
Many onlookers looked on with emotion and discussed the matter animatedly.
Although he couldn't understand what the onlookers were saying, Griffith could guess from their amazed expressions that they were marveling at their noble status.
A faint smile flashed across Griffith's face; this was the effect he wanted.
Of course, he wasn't a real earl, just a descendant of an earl. He had the old butler call him that only to show off.
After returning the documents to the old butler, Griffith turned to look at Su Ningshuang.
"It's a pleasure to meet you two beautiful ladies. Would you do me the honor of joining me for dinner?"
Griffith bowed slightly and extended an invitation, in a very gentlemanly manner, to Su Ningshuang and the girl who had taken the initiative earlier.
Although Griffith only wanted to invite Su Ningshuang, in order not to arouse any suspicion from Su Ningshuang or cause her to refuse him, he had no choice but to invite the girl who had taken the initiative as well.
"Okay, okay, I agree."
Upon hearing Griffith's words, the girl who had taken the initiative nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.
"I never imagined you were a count, handsome man. It is my honor to dine with a count."
The girl's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement. She had only thought the foreigner was very handsome, which was why she had taken the initiative.
But now that she knows his noble status, the girl who took the initiative is even more tempted.
At this moment, images of European castles, princes, princesses, and other such scenes involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
