Chapter 655 The Divine Medicine Couple Gets a Slap in the Face on the Spot [3 Updates]
Indeed, there were quite a few distinguished guests present today.
This includes the Bevan and Manson families, as well as other prominent families from various countries.
It can be described as an unprecedented feast for the elite.
Getting engaged in such an occasion would be a world-class event.
Neil started clapping again: "Boss is amazing! He even got his hands on the princess of Japan. Boss is truly my idol!"
Ian, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed Neil and said, "Shut up!"
Upon discovering that the princess from Country J had arrived, he knew something bad was about to happen.
Catherine stood up, took off her hat, and smiled at the guests.
Every move she makes exudes the grace of a royal princess; she possesses outstanding temperament and is elegant and charming.
Catherine is among the top figures in international socialite circles.
Some people have compiled a ranking of princesses from various countries, making a comprehensive assessment based on their beauty, knowledge, etiquette, and other factors.
Princess Catherine was already in the top ten at the age of 16.
She is 21 years old and has already risen to third place.
The two princesses ahead of her are already married, own their own assets, and are true strong women.
Many kings of duchies have proposed to J Kingdom in marriage to Catherine, but President James has never given in.
It turns out I've been waiting for this day all along.
The wealth controlled by the Venus Group far exceeds the combined GDP of several countries in the O continent.
Fu Yunshen's net worth is naturally beyond what those who merely dream of him can compare to.
Grandpa Zhong felt as if his heart was being pulled into a hole again.
He hadn't had a moment's peace all night, his emotions like a rollercoaster: "Is young Fu engaged?"
Ying Tianlu thought for a moment and frowned: "It's not impossible that the Venus Group started in Japan and received help from the president of Japan."
"Bah!" Old Master Zhong roared, "How can that compare to the betrothal that Old Man Fu and I arranged more than twenty years ago?"
Even in an engagement, there has to be a first-come, first-served order.
Fu Yihan, however, was quite certain: "Yun Shen wouldn't."
Only Ying Zijin, propped up on her elbows, half-closed her eyes, still resting.
Sinai nudged the girl's arm: "Ah Ying, aren't you worried?"
"He'll handle it." Ying Zijing didn't seem to care much. "It's nothing."
She was still waiting to have dessert.
"Sigh, this kid is just like his grandfather." Old Master Zhong said with a smile, but his eyes were red. "When they were young, they were so popular with women."
**
On stage.
The host was at a loss and could only look to Fu Yunshen for help.
Xize was somewhat gloating, watching the show from the sidelines.
Catherine lifted her dress and went on stage, her eyes filled with joyful excitement.
She was waiting for Fu Yunshen to invite her to dance.
As a princess, one should not be too proactive and needs to be reserved.
With so many distinguished guests gathered, Fu Yunshen, as a gentleman, would not allow a girl to lose face.
However, Fu Yunshen did not move at all.
He turned his head, a smile playing on his lips, but his eyes were icy: "Mr. President, you seem to have misunderstood something."
James narrowed his eyes and laughed: "Mr. Fu, there's no misunderstanding. We agreed that I could ask you for anything in the future."
"This isn't really a requirement. You and Catherine are a perfect match, both in terms of looks and talent, and everyone here agrees."
Catherine bit her lip, her previous aloofness vanishing: "Back then, you clearly said you'd do anything for me, and I'd marry you, wasn't that good enough?"
But she felt a little panicked.
She fell in love with Fu Yunshen when she was 16.
We've waited until now, and finally we can make it public.
Seeing that the man remained unmoved, James stopped smiling, his gaze turning sinister: "Mr. Fu, have you forgotten your roots now that you've made it big?"
"I risked the opposition of all the members of parliament to help you back then, and now you're going back on your word. Isn't that ungrateful?"
Ying Zijing suddenly opened her eyes and looked at James with a slightly cold gaze.
James, confident of victory, said cryptically, "Mr. Fu, aren't you afraid of disappointing your followers by being so ungrateful?"
It's no secret in the business world that Japan has helped the Venus Group.
However, no one outside the family knew about their private agreement.
Fu Yunshen had no way to refute what he said.
With so many people watching, James was certain that Fu Yunshen couldn't refuse.
The Venus Group and the Laurent family are now allies, reaching a level that even the J country can hardly look up to.
J country must make good use of this son-in-law.
Sure enough, the guests began whispering among themselves.
"The Venus Group is ungrateful. How can we cooperate with them in the future?"
"I think so too. It's not really a request. Princess Catherine is so outstanding, how could CEO Fu possibly feel wronged? He's just pretending."
“Josie.” Fu Yunshen raised his chin, smiled, and said in a low, cold voice, “Come, tell the President what the original agreement was.”
"Yes." Josie, whose name was called, shuddered and immediately stood up.
He picked up his computer, typed a few keys on the keyboard, and soon a program popped up.
The large screen behind the podium also changed accordingly.
It's a video.
Due to the camera angle, only James was filmed.
The bottom right corner of the large screen displays the date and time; it was six years ago, not long after the Venus Group was established.
In the video, James speaks in a condescending tone: "Okay, the J Congress will provide Venus Group with 1 billion in financial assistance. I'll be satisfied if Venus Group can repay us in the future."
The video recording has ended.
Fu Yunshen said in a deep voice, "Qiao Xi."
Josie pulled up another record of fund transfers.
The data shows that the Venus Group had already transferred 10 billion yen to the J country's treasury three years ago, through the Laurent Bank.
"..."
All the whispers ceased.
James's face instantly turned ashen.
How could Fu Yunshen have managed to film the entire video inside the Presidential Palace?
Five years ago, Fu Yunshen was penniless; where did he get all these tricks up his sleeve?!
Upon seeing this, Qin Lingyan, who was in charge of monitoring the venue, clicked her tongue and said, "Wow, I'm really amazing."
There's nothing we can do about it; he's the head of the hacker alliance.
This is a small matter, so it's a piece of cake for me.
In the VIP section, Ian also stood up and sneered: "Mr. President, it's not that our CEO is ungrateful, it's that you're too greedy. Do you think you can decide our CEO's marriage?"
"You've got a good plan, trying to tie the Venus Group down through marriage. Unfortunately, you don't have the ability to do that right now."
In an instant, all the guests in the hall focused their attention on James.
As president of a country, James has not yet fallen to this level.
His fists were clenched tightly, and his face was grim.
Catherine, however, was stubborn and refused to leave the stage: "We don't have to get engaged, but I want to dance with you."
“I’m sorry, I have mysophobia.” Fu Yunshen said politely but distantly, “I don’t like contact with the opposite sex.”
These words were like a slap in the face to Catherine.
Her face gradually turned deathly pale, and she could no longer stand steadily.
Ian shrugged. "That's pathetic."
He knew what Fu Yunshen hated most: being forced.
J Country has essentially severed the last vestige of goodwill with the Venus Group.
There's not a single bit left.
Catherine stepped off the stage in a daze, and the way the guests looked at her changed.
They're not even engaged, so what gives Fu Yunshen the right to avoid contact with other women?
Fu Yunshen casually reached out and took a small ball out of the box.
"Let's see which socialite it is." The host took the ball, glanced at it, and tossed it up with the name engraved on it. "Ms. Ying Zijing, CEO of Chuguang Media, from China—"
"Congratulations!"
Ian: "...???"
What kind of luck is this?
Did I draw Miss Ying on my very first try?
There are a full two hundred small balls in this box; that's incredibly precise.
[Holy crap, me, the God of War?!]
[Ouch! The "miracle drug" couple is giving us sweet moments! Is there a chance our popular couple might become a real couple?!]
[Sigh, even the princess of Japan doesn't fancy him, so our Ying Shen probably has even less of a chance.]
It must be admitted that, in terms of birth and social status, Princess Catherine is truly among the world's top tier.
[Tsk tsk, even Ying Zijing is being looked down upon. I already said, she's nothing special on an international scale.]
Catherine's face paled even more: "Dad."
“Catherine, don’t worry.” James’s expression was also grim. “He even rejected you, why would he be interested in a Chinese man? He—”
His words were cut off before he could finish them.
Fu Yunshen walked down from the stage and went straight to the girl.
He leaned down slightly, a gentle smile on his face, and extended his hand to her: "My Lady?"
