Chapter 386 Belgi (2)
"Although the cosmetics from Irene's company are good, I feel they only last on the surface."
Karin couldn't help but sigh, "I'm still getting older day by day."
The wealthy class in the West is also very obsessed with immortality. Jiang Ningyue has heard that the rich in Europe and the United States would delay aging by "blood transfusions" with young people.
Jiang Ningyue suddenly thought, "I still have a batch of medicinal wine. I'll get some for you later. You can try it."
"Medicinal wine?" Karin didn't understand. "Is it a special medicine?"
"no."
Jiang Ningyue explained with a smile, "In our country, there's a custom of soaking precious medicinal herbs in high-concentration alcohol for a long time. This allows the various active ingredients of the Chinese medicine to dissolve easily in it. The medicine then leverages the alcohol's strength to fully unleash its potency, enhancing its efficacy. It can have a therapeutic effect on the body. You can give it a try."
"Wow, that sounds great."
After hearing this, Karin nodded and said, "I think I've tried the medicinal wine you mentioned before, but I didn't feel any noticeable effect."
"This medicinal wine is definitely different from other medicinal wines. You can try mine."
"Okay." Karin was quite excited after hearing this. "I'm very busy lately preparing for the European Winter Summit. I'm having a private dinner on the 16th, this Friday night, and I invite you to attend."
Jiang Ningyue thought about it and nodded: "Okay, no problem."
After the dinner, return to the hotel.
After some anti-eavesdropping and surveillance arrangements, Chai Yong asked, "What did you talk about with Karin just now?"
"We didn't talk much, just about cosmetics, her health, and Erin from Gale Medical Group."
Jiang Ningyue thought for a moment and said, "By the way, she invited me to a private banquet on Friday."
"Well, go ahead."
Chai Yong nodded and said, "The European Union can be roughly divided into two factions today, the 'pro-American faction' and the 'European strategic autonomy faction'. France, Germany and Italy all have a tendency towards 'European strategic autonomy'. Therefore, which faction Kalin belongs to when he leads this new European Commission is still a key question. The economic and trade negotiations are trivial matters, you don't need to worry about them. You just need to ask Kalin indirectly about his attitude."
Jiang Ningyue smiled awkwardly. "This... can you trust a politician's words? If she answers me on the surface that she wants to pursue European strategic independence, but then turns around and clings to the Americans, there's nothing I can do."
"Don't be so pessimistic."
Chai Yong smiled and said, "As the President of the European Commission, she is not so liar as to lie."
Early the next morning, Jiang Ningyue's phone rang. The caller was Irene, the director of Gale Medical Group.
"Hey, Erin."
"Hey, honey. I heard you were in Brussels?" Irene's voice was quite cheerful. "I'm in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I'd like to visit you."
"Wait a minute, I'm here with my leader. Let me ask him if I have any tasks."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
Jiang Ningyue asked Chai Yong, and Chai Yong thought about it and just told Jiang Ningyue that she could not leave Brussels. The rest of the small matters were up to Jiang Ningyue to decide on her own.
After getting permission, Jiang Ningyue called Irene.
Irene said she was on her way.
About an hour later, Irene asked Jiang Ningyue to go downstairs.
When she arrived at the hotel entrance, Jiang Ningyue saw a car with an exaggerated shape - Pagani Zonda.
Irene took off her sunglasses with her fingers and looked at Jiang Ningyue with a smile, "Hey~ honey, get in the car."
Jiang Ningyue sat in the passenger seat, puzzled. "Why are you here so quickly? You just finished the phone call and you're here."
“Amsterdam is only a little over 100 kilometers away from Brussels.”
Irene explained with a smile, then stepped on the accelerator and left the hotel. The two Mercedes-Benz cars immediately followed. "It'll only take a little over an hour to get there."
"oh--"
Jiang Ningyue suddenly realized that this was Western Europe, and it was normal for the capitals of two countries to be close to each other.
What's more, the two countries of Bergis and the Netherlands were once one country.
"What are you going to do?"
"shop."
Irene said with a smile, "By the way, tomorrow Argentina plays Croatia. Are you interested in watching?"
"Yes, I have."
Jiang Ningyue's eyes lit up, then became a little sad. "But I'm on a business trip, so I definitely can't go."
Everyone else was in the building negotiating with European representatives on the "China-EU economic and trade document". It was already excessive for him to go out shopping, and it was even more excessive for him to go to Qatar to watch a game.
"Oh well."
Irene nodded. "What about Saturday and Sunday? Aren't we allowed to take a break during holidays?"
"Weekends are fine."
Jiang Ningyue thought for a moment and asked, "Do you still have tickets?"
"Of course."
Irene said with a smile, "I have a ticket for the VIP area. It's very popular. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you."
"Then I'll go to the finals."
Jiang Ningyue finally couldn't resist the temptation.
"good."
Irene smiled and nodded.
"Oh, right."
Jiang Ningyue suddenly thought, "Kalin is having a party this Friday. Did he invite you?"
If it were an ordinary person, Jiang Ningyue would definitely not ask directly. However, she and Irene had known each other for several years, and she was her personal connection, so she naturally spoke more freely.
"Yes."
Irene nodded. "I'll be there then."
"You know who else?"
"Um……"
Irene thought for a moment and said, "I've attended a few times before, but they were just businessmen and politicians. Oh, and I heard that Congresswoman Daisy from the United States will be here in the next couple of days."
"Daisy?"
Jiang Ningyue frowned slightly. "The congressman from Pennsylvania?"
"Yes."
Irene nodded. "Since Karin invited you, this private party will be very interesting."
"What's so interesting?"
Jiang Ningyue curled her lips, "Daisy and I are not equal in status either."
Irene smiled and said, "I'm on your side."
"Thank you."
Jiang Ningyue and Irene strolled around for a while, followed by several of her bodyguards, like movie stars. Each one was tall and muscular, wearing a suit and sunglasses.
However, the two of them bought a lot of things, so the bodyguards acted as bag carriers.
Not many people in Brussels knew Jiang Ningyue, so she didn't need to pretend. However, Chinese people are everywhere in the world. So, quite a few Chinese students and tourists recognized Jiang Ningyue, and some brave enough waved to her and asked for photos.
Basically, the female Jiang Ningyue agreed.
In a top-tier members-only restaurant in Brussels, Jiang Ningyue looked at Irene curiously, "You seem to be in a good mood lately."
"yes."
Irene looked at Jiang Ningyue with a smile, "Our cosmetics are selling very well. Sales in the third quarter have already reached 30 billion US dollars. My influence in the group has also increased significantly."
“Wow.”
Jiang Ningyue smiled and nodded, "Congratulations."
"By the way, Nina told me a while ago that you embarrassed Mithril International in Campbell."
"no way."
Jiang Ningyue picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "This is a life-and-death struggle. I can't let it go just for my friends."
"That's not what she meant."
Irene explained, "She's not on good terms with Peter, the head of the Africa region. She couldn't be happier that you've offended him this time."
“Isn’t Pete from Nina’s family?”
"no."
Irene shook her head and said, "It's someone from JPMorgan Chase."
"Oh." Jiang Ningyue nodded after hearing this. "That's great. If something similar happens again in the future, I won't have to worry about it anymore."
After having a pleasant chat with Irene and dinner, Jiang Ningyue returned to the hotel.
