Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 195 Gao Jingxuan's Unspeakable Secret
Rolls-Royce was driving in the dark night, looking at the brightly lit palace on the mountain, Gao Jingxuan suddenly felt a kind of fear, nervous and uneasy about the Duke of Nord.

The palace was soon fully displayed before her eyes. Just when Gao Jingxuan was hesitating whether to get out of the car, the car door was suddenly opened, and the respectful waiter signaled that she could get out of the car.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Jingxuan tried to calm herself down, and the first person she saw when she got out of the car was the old butler in a tuxedo with a serious face, Abner.

"Miss Gao Jingxuan, I am Abner, the steward of the palace, please come with me."

Abner was not very polite, and after saying this, he directly led the way. Gao Jingxuan was afraid that she would be impolite, so she nodded to the servants who greeted her at the door, and then followed closely.

The palace has received many people, but this is the first time I have seen such a polite person, so the servants looked at each other in a daze, and could not help but inquire about Gao Jingxuan's identity out of curiosity.

"Asians, are they relatives of His Majesty's mother?"

"Probably not. She speaks in a local style, and she should have lived here for several years."

After living for a few years, they are naturally not relatives of Joseph's mother. After all, they have never heard of this matter, and Joseph is not the kind of character who puts his relatives outside and ignores them.

"She is very beautiful, but she is too thin, which is not good."

All the servants glanced at his five-year-old and three-year-old cook wife, and they all kept silent, and they continued to discuss after he left.

"I don't think she's a distinguished guest."

Joseph's guests are all honored guests, but the honored guests mentioned by the servants obviously do not refer to these, but to people with noble status. Such people do not just need to be rich.

"There are no nobles in the East, David."

"Why not? Both Japan and Thailand still have monarchs."

"She is from Taiwan and is a former friend of His Majesty. Let's go to work!"

Zhu Yunsheng interrupted suddenly to calm down the commotion. Zhu Yunsheng's status in the palace was naturally on the high side, and even Butler Abner gave him three points of face.

"Zhu, is Tai Island..."

"That's right, it's Taiwan Island in Huaxia."

"Uh..., that's right, it's Taiwan Island in Huaxia, so she's really not a distinguished guest?"

"She is a friend of His Majesty, a very good friend."

……

dong dong dong~
Joseph, who was reading a book, was awakened by Abner's knock on the door, glanced at Abner Joseph who had pushed the door in and hadn't spoken yet, and nodded to express his understanding.

Pack up your things. Joseph walked towards the hall. Under the light, a Miaoman's back was admiring the oil painting on the wall. It was an oil painting of a man and four women playing naked.

""The God of the Forest and the Fairies" is a French work by Adolphe William Bouguereau in 1873, but the origin of this painting is not very formal."

"???"

Seeing the doubts on Gao Jingxuan's face, Joseph shrugged and replied: "One hundred thousand euros, bought from an international gang of thieves, and the one hanging in the Academy of Art is fake."

Gao Jingxuan is actually not very familiar with such oil paintings, and she is even more embarrassed to talk about such nude paintings in front of a heterosexual, but it is a little strange that she is blushing at this moment when she is married.

Joseph didn't notice this, and continued to narrate: "Many people say that this is a work full of music and poetry, and it is a romantic masterpiece of "back to nature". In fact, I bought it for many reasons. Simple, the fairies are very beautiful, the dark forest background and the plump white body have a strong allure."

Temptation... When Joseph said the three words, he couldn't help but look at Gao Jingxuan, who was also plump and fair-skinned. He happened to collide with Gao Jingxuan who was looking at him, and the two were a little embarrassed for a while.

"Ahem, I forgot to say Merry Christmas."

"You too, Merry Christmas."

"I haven't been in Nord recently, and I haven't used Chinese to communicate much. It's a bit rusty after a long time."

This is the truth. Joseph felt that he had to communicate with the Chinese for a long time, otherwise, ten or twenty years later, he would probably have to speak in dry Western Chinese.

"No, I think what you said is very good."

Shrugging his shoulders, Joseph did not continue the topic, but led the way to the restaurant. After all, he was inviting people to a banquet, and it was not appropriate to just stand here.

"This dress suits you very well and is very beautiful."

"Thank you!"

……

When they came to the restaurant, the two sat opposite each other.

"I forgot to ask, why are you alone?"

In fact, Joseph guessed some of the reasons. He is very clear about Microsoft's situation. Busyness is commonplace, especially for these engineers and deputy chief engineers, who have worked hard for Microsoft's monopoly.

Nord has a six-hour working system, but researchers like this work for eight hours. It is not that the cabinet can increase it, but they ask for it. Of course, even if this is the case, many engineers and chief engineers regard the company as their home. , regard those programs and machines as their own wives.

Xiumei frowned slightly. Although she was unwilling to answer such a question, Gao Jingxuan forced a smile: "There is something wrong with the company, and he hasn't been notified."

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and I feel that you are very unfamiliar."

"Yes, is it?"

It seemed to be a question, but it was actually not a question but a cover-up explanation. Joseph didn't say much, looked at some desserts served and said with a smile: "The desserts in many Chinese restaurants in Nord are not so authentic."

Gao Jingxuan was clearly aware of this, and nodded understandingly. It's not that their cooking is not authentic, but the result of the difference in the ingredients and the deliberate way of doing it.

Tasting delicious food while traveling is one aspect, and daily life is another aspect. You can’t let customers get used to your way of eating!Therefore, in the Principality of Nord, except for a few restaurants that serve Chinese Americans, the practices in other places have changed a lot. For example, there are no such things as dumplings, because Europeans and Americans in Nord do not know how to use chopsticks at all.

"The authentic Chinese ingredients brought back by air, such as Suzhou-style moon cakes, Qingtuan, peach cakes, and glutinous rice cakes, try it, it tastes pretty good."

Hearing that Gao Jingxuan picked a few desserts and tasted them one by one, they were soft and smooth, and nodded with a little excitement. Seeing that Gao Jingxuan was satisfied, Joseph also felt very happy.

He has always regarded Gao Jingxuan as his friend, but this friend has not contacted him for two or three years, how can this make him not sad?
"It's been okay for the past two years!"

"Well, it's not bad, the salary is very satisfactory, the environment is very satisfactory..."

"The only dissatisfaction is that the husband is busy, right? You should understand the engineer. You don't have children?"

If only the front was better, Gao Jingxuan's face quickly turned pale as soon as the child said it, as if she was covering up something, but soon she tried to return to normal, Joseph naturally noticed this scene, but didn't say much, after all, this is his privacy .

"I forgot to congratulate you, Ms. Nord Royal Entertainment Daily Editor-in-Chief."

"It's the deputy editor, and it's also the deputy editor of the branch."

The small success in her career alleviated Gao Jingxuan's uneasiness, and hurriedly waved her hand to correct her identity.

"The deputy editor is just the beginning. You are still young this year. Maybe you will be the editor-in-chief of Entertainment Daily when you come here in two years. I hope to see you at the shareholder meeting."

Joseph owns 30.00% of the shares of Royal Media, so it is acceptable to say so. Of course, Gao Jingxuan also understands that this is just a joke, let alone Joseph has never attended a shareholder meeting. Even the president of the newspaper industry is not qualified, let alone the deputy editor-in-chief of a small newspaper.

The dishes were served one after another, and two bottles of red wine from the royal winery were also placed on the table. Watching such a scene, Gao Jingxuan suddenly felt a warm feeling, which was strange and unbelievable.

"What are your classmates doing? I remember they were called... called..."

"Li Wenna and Zhang Yujia are already married, and even Zhang Yujia's son is one and a half years old, a very cute little guy."

Speaking of Zhang Yujia's son, Gao Jingxuan's eyes showed tenderness and envy. Although she hid it deeply, Joseph still saw the glimmer of hope.

Seeing this scene, Joseph had some guesses in his heart. He hesitated and said: "Although the salary of the Royal Academy of Sciences is lower, it is better than the Microsoft environment. He should still like his previous job very much!"

Gao Jingxuan's husband was a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences before, and then Microsoft was formed, so he was separated into the company.Of course, these are not important, they are just Joseph's temptation.

There was no answer, Joseph was a little embarrassed, but he was not angry, because he knew that Gao Jingxuan had seen through his temptation, so far Joseph did not dare to continue this topic, Gao Jingxuan was dissatisfied and left directly.

This was Joseph's misconception. Gao Jingxuan was not the little girl a few years ago, and he was not the grand duke with a population of only a few thousand or more than ten thousand. Different status and identities meant that the results of the same event would naturally be different.

The original Gao Jingxuan was only slightly surprised even if she knew Joseph's identity, but now...she has a lot of fear, fear of power, power of life and death.

Gao Jingxuan drank a lot of wine during this meal, and she had no worries about Joseph.The reason was simple, if Joseph wanted to do something, she would be powerless to refuse or resist even if she was sober.

Joseph was more fortunate that he did not drink, otherwise, even in the palace with so many servants, he would not be able to guarantee what he would do on impulse.

He asked Abner to take her to the guest room, and Joseph asked the guards to investigate some matters concerning Gao Jingxuan and her husband. Although he had just revealed something after drinking, he still needed to understand the specific situation before he could straighten it out.But what is certain is that his friend Gao Jingxuan was not bullied, nor was she dissatisfied because she was left out. The real reason may be some of her husband's functions.

Some topics may not be convenient for outsiders to know, but Joseph feels that he has a reason to help Gao Jingxuan. If he really has a problem, he can arrange for him to go to Nord Royal Hospital for treatment.
