Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 357: Lin Yue’s Visit - A Minor Mishap at the Banquet
Lin Yue and Gu Feng applied to go abroad for a few days of travel, and Gu Feng agreed.
For this trip, she also brought along her close friends, Liu Yuan and Jiang Xue.
Lin Yue’s main purpose for going abroad was to visit the war-torn areas and see those poor children.
In fact, she had been engaged in global charitable work long before this trip.
For children unfortunate enough to be caught in warzones, she would donate money every month to purchase supplies for them.
This time, having the rare opportunity to go out, she took the chance to go and see those children.
She was also working on similar projects domestically, but the main efforts were being handled by Li Ming on behalf of Gu Feng.
Gu Feng had initially instructed Li Ming to allocate a portion of the private foundation’s funds each year for the development of impoverished mountainous regions within the country.
Now, with the nation’s growing strength and increased fiscal resources, rural welfare and benefits have greatly improved, and the overall income of the citizens has swelled. From an average salary of three thousand before, now, with the global economy pouring into Dragon Nation, it has driven full-scale commercialization.
The average national income has now reached seven or eight thousand, ranking among developed countries.
Even in the developed areas of Dongguang Province in Dragon Nation, millions of foreigners have come to work.
Hearing that Lin Yue was coming to the East Middle region made the countries in the area both excited and nervous.
They were excited at the chance to meet and speak with the Great Expert’s Wife, perhaps to curry favor.
But they were nervous that war-zone desperados might take the opportunity to harm her.
After all, the Ross Consortium and Utopia were once masterminds behind creating warzones.
Now that the Ross Consortium has been destroyed and warfare has been forcibly stopped by Angsa and Europe’s forces, the Utopian group in the war-torn area feels remorseful.
They know they cannot stir up much trouble, but the other countries in East Middle are afraid these people might do something rash out of desperation.
Because of this, Sahte, the "big brother" of the area, is the most worried.
As the current spokesperson of the region, they cannot imagine how to explain to Dragon Nation and the Great Expert if the Wife is offended.
Therefore, Sahte dispatched their strongest group of Innate Masters for protection, totaling about thirty people.
Aside from them, the Angsa forces behind Eagle also deployed troops stationed in the area to personally ensure that Lin Yue’s visit to comfort the war-torn children could proceed smoothly.
Fortunately, those desperados didn’t do anything foolish these past few days.
Their leaders weren’t stupid either and understood a principle, "If I mess with an Eagle representative, at worst I’ll be chased by the Eagle. But if I offend this lady, all the countries that have joined the teleportation agreement will send troops after us, and even the United Nations’ laws won’t help!"
The powers that have been able to maintain their presence in war-torn areas also have brains; they are well aware there are some things in this world they simply cannot touch.
Lin Yue personally distributed supplies to the children for three days and helped treat them in medical camps.
Perhaps particularly moved by the plight of the children, before she left, she said to representatives of Angsa and Sahte, "I don’t care about the reasons for your conflict, but don’t let it affect innocent children."
The representatives of both major powers bowed quickly, "Rest assured, Madam."
It’s all for resources.
In comparison to the resource project of Future Interstellar Universe organized by the boss, world powers are no longer interested in East Middle’s oil fields.
Thus, they can assure each other that they will not provoke any incidents in this region.
Afterward, Lin Yue, accompanied by her two friends, headed to Eagle.
The reason for going there was because she had studied abroad in the past.
After so many years, since she was abroad for fun, she decided to also visit Harvard University, where she had studied.
Under the signal from the White House, the president and the administration of Harvard went all out.
They personally came out to welcome Lin Yue’s car at the school gates.
Liu Yuan and Jiang Xue also basked in the glory of Lin Yue, enjoying what was essentially national-level treatment for the entire journey.
Apart from the school authorities, representatives from the White House, as well as from Angsa’s forces, led by Rockfield David, personally received and accompanied them on a tour of Harvard.
"What exactly happened with that Massachusetts student incident? Did the parents truly want to immigrate on their own?" Lin Yue casually inquired during the visit.
David quickly responded with a wry smile, "Yes, madam, this matter indeed has nothing to do with the monitoring station. They have not revealed any information about the testers. It’s just that the child’s family already lived in the Brazilian slums and they wanted to immigrate for a better life."
Lin Yue nodded.
She had only heard that the Hou Family was impeached because of this affair, so she casually inquired to confirm it.
Liu Yuan and Jiang Xue, accompanying Lin Yue on this trip, not only enjoyed fine food and drink but actually gained immensely.
Basking in Lin Yue’s radiance, the two of them successfully opened up international connections.
They got to know the higher-ups of the Angsa forces behind Eagle, then went on to O’laya and were personally received and accompanied by the royal family.
Lin Yue took them to visit the various museums, big and small. In the end, these cultural relics belonging to Dragon Nation were decided by these major families to be returned to Dragon Nation.
At the banquet, Jiang Xue and Liu Yuan also met the legitimate heirs of the six major O’laya families: Hanover, Habsburg, Krupp, Goldfinch, Huabai, Windsor.
However, an incident occurred during the banquet.
A woman, holding a glass of red wine, splashed it over Liu Yuan, who was engaged in conversation. Fortunately, Liu Yuan’s reflexes were quick, but her dress still suffered and got stained. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"What do you mean by this?"
Liu Yuan immediately questioned the older woman in dissatisfaction.
This elderly woman was none other than Madam Sovas, the chairman of O’laya Group.
After the Pill Association curbed their research and development progress last time, their group not only lost the way forward in R&D.
Even the Yuanxue Company from Dragon Nation had stopped supplying their group with whitening technology, leading to their stock market crash.
Because of this, Sovas sought her connections within Gaul Country.
However, everyone she knew with any status or influence was unwilling to help her negotiate with the Pill Association regarding this matter.
Unable to outweigh the Pill Association’s influence, Sovas could only harbor a grudge against Yuanxue Company.
This time at the dinner, she did not expect to encounter Liu Yuan.
She had seen Liu Yuan at a party in Dragon Nation and knew that the other was a stakeholder behind the scenes at Yuanxue Company.
Sovas, perhaps due to a bit of alcohol, let her revengeful heart take over and directly splashed Liu Yuan with red wine.
She felt that this was O’laya, her territory, and at worst she would just have to apologize to Liu Yuan and that would be the end of it.
After all, she was still a member of the T2 faction within Freemasonry. Surely, the six major families present tonight wouldn’t side with an outsider, right?
"What happened?"
Lin Yue, who was conversing on the other side, heard the commotion that seemed to be Liu Yuan’s voice and came over to inquire.
Liu Yuan, while wiping the wine off of her body, was also baffled, "I don’t know if this woman is drunk or what, throwing wine on me."
Lin Yue’s eyebrows furrowed, and her expression cooled.
The person in charge of the venue today, also from the Windsor family—The Never-setting Sun’s old king—looked very displeased, almost ashen-faced.
He recognized Madam Sovas, once the richest woman in Gaul Country.
The old king looked towards Goldfinch, the power behind the scenes in Gaul Country, who were the Beaufort family.
The Beaufort family head’s expression was also terribly grim.
"Who let this wild woman in? Get her out of here!" Beaufort had someone drag Sovas out and immediately began to apologize profusely to Lin Yue and Liu Yuan.
"Madam, Miss Liu, we are terribly sorry for this. Please give us a moment, and I will provide Miss Liu with an explanation," he said.
The old king and the others also quickly bowed in apology.
Lin Yue lost her mood for the occasion and, taking Liu Yuan by the hand, said, "Let’s go, let’s change out of these clothes at the hotel."
With that, they left the venue.
The old king glanced at the Beaufort family head, snorted coldly, and, with a flick of his sleeve, also left the venue.
The other family heads looked at the Beaufort family head with cold, stern expressions, feeling a sense of frustration as if they had been let down by an incompetent teammate.
