"Making a fool of yourself?"
Lin Rui frowned slightly.
Charles took a small sip of his drink and then said, "I also made a bet with Fiona, and you made me lose a sea-view villa!"
"Get out!"
Lin Rui was really annoyed by this sticky guy.
"Don't be angry."
Charles immediately put on a smiling face: "I have to say, the nobles from the royal family were quite surprised by your performance just now. Who did you learn all those etiquette routines from? My instructor was a royal etiquette coach, but I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I felt that you did it even more perfectly than him."
"China has a rich cultural heritage spanning tens of thousands of years. If you have time, you can go to China and find a master to learn from. I just took some time to attend a tutoring class."
Lin Rui said seriously, "This thing is not as difficult as you think. Many two- or three-year-old children in China can do it. If a ten-year-old child does not master these skills, he may be laughed at by his peers at school."
Seeing Charles's wide eyes, as if to say, "Are you sure you're not kidding me?", Lin Rui patted the guy on the shoulder with a sigh, and then ignored him.
In fact, many nobles also heard Lin Rui's conversation with Charles. They were extremely shocked by Lin Rui's series of seemingly innate manners and upbringing. Now, hearing that their proud social etiquette was just a basic life skill in China, they were filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Is this kid lying?
Are these kinds of things for little kids?
Why not take some time to visit China? And admire its magnificent culture!
"An interesting young man."
Upon seeing this, Phillips' lips curled into a slight smile.
As the initiator of the banquet, he only made a brief appearance before it began, and then left under some pretext.
At this moment, in the monitoring room, he was watching the behavior of all these people. Beside him, Michelle was lazily lying on Phillips's lap, her face slightly flushed, obviously having just gone through some discussions about social and human nature.
"You think highly of Twelve?"
Michelle asked casually, "I don't deny that the current Twelve is indeed qualified to sit in that chair. But the previous Twelve wasn't qualified. So how did you think he was more qualified than Oris and Monkliel back then?"
"Trajectory".
Phillips' eyes flickered: "A person's growth trajectory, his development history is amazing, even bizarre."
"So, he has a big secret?"
Phillips glanced at Michelle and said calmly, "I advise you to stop having any ulterior motives. Everyone has secrets, but Twelve's secrets are not something you can pry into."
"Does he think he can eat me?"
Michelle smiled seductively, her fingers occasionally tapping lightly on Phillips' chest. This almost provocative behavior fueled Phillips's anger.
In fact, the other members of the Heavenly King Council all knew that Sequence One and Sequence Eight had left. As for where they went and what they did, whether they knew or not, they didn't really care.
"Twelve, I'd like to collaborate with you if the opportunity arises."
Fiona sat down next to Lin Rui with ease and extended her hand.
"cooperate?"
After shaking hands with Fiona, Lin Rui asked curiously, "In what way?"
"Songs or movies are both fine."
Fiona smiled and said, "Ever since I learned that you would be joining this family, I have been studying your work, whether it is movies or music, I like them all very much."
After a pause, Fiona continued, "I heard you're currently filming a science fiction movie..."
Before Fiona could finish speaking, Lin Rui said apologetically, "Actually, the movie has already been filmed. Right now, we're just working on the special effects."
"So fast?!"
Fiona was a little taken aback: "You're making a science fiction movie, right?"
"Yes."
Seeing Lin Rui nod as if it were the most natural thing in the world, Fiona opened her mouth as if to say something, but then she suddenly remembered the 5D special effects scenes at the World Art Festival and felt relieved.
Instead of pressing the issue with pointless remarks, she smiled and asked, "What about music? Are you interested in collaborating?"
How can we cooperate?
Lin Rui said thoughtfully.
He was wondering if Fiona wanted to commission a song from him, or if she wanted him to help with revisions.
Neither of these matters was on Lin Rui's mind, and he was pondering what reason to use to refuse when Fiona smiled and said, "I'm planning to hold a concert in Shenzhou, and you'd like to be my special guest?"
A concert?
In China?!
This suggestion was completely unexpected by Lin Rui, so much so that he couldn't find a reason to refuse for a moment.
Who is Fiona?
Sequence Eleven!
Where is she going to hold her concert?
China!
From both a moral and logical standpoint, it was just a request from a specially invited guest, and Lin Rui simply couldn't find a reason to refuse.
As the saying goes, one should do one's best to be a good host. After understanding this, Lin Rui nodded: "No problem, let me know when you have a confirmed time."
"How about the end of the month?"
Are you not even giving us a buffer time?!
Lin Rui was completely speechless. He finally understood that Fiona had clearly planned this all along before coming to him to discuss it.
Why choose Shenzhou?
Lin Rui frowned slightly.
Fiona looked at Lin Rui with great interest and didn't hide anything: "A market worth hundreds of billions, you should understand what I mean, right? Of course, if you want to hold a concert in Switzerland, I will also be your special guest."
That's not what I meant.
Lin Rui smiled and said, "Since you've seen my work, do you know about the variety show I produce?"
"The one with the mask on?"
Fiona seemed to anticipate what Lin Rui wanted to say and smiled slightly: "You want me to participate in this program?"
After a pause, Fiona added, "What's in it for me? No matter how you look at it, you're the one who benefits, right?"
"A single concert doesn't actually have a significant impact."
Lin Rui said thoughtfully, "Even if I endorse you, it's really unknown how much fame a concert can bring. At least in China, this approach might not work."
"But if it is disseminated through the variety show 'Masked Singer', the effect will be completely different."
"The longer you stay on stage, the more curious the audience becomes. Think about it, aren't they all hoping to uncover your true self? Aren't all their attention focused on you? They…"
Seeing that Lin Rui wanted to continue, Fiona said with a wry smile, "Stop, I know. I have to say, you have a very persuasive way of speaking."
After a pause, Fiona added, "But I really like this way of talking; at least what you said makes a lot of sense."
Lin Rui gently raised his glass, and Fiona understood. The two glasses lightly touched in mid-air: "It's been a pleasure working with you."
