Chapter 360 - 360 The Queen's Decision; Arrival!
360 The Queen’s Decision; Arrival!
Lin Fan had received similar calls several times.
Thus…
This time, he was not too surprised. He said indifferently, “Please say my hello to Mr. Jules Grant.”
Then, fluent English sounded on the phone.
Even though Lin Fan could clearly understand, he did not point it out.
“Mr. Jules Grant said that he would like to thank you for your trust in Eagle Country Oil Company and for becoming the second largest shareholder of the company…”
Generally speaking, the interpreter’s tone should always be consistent.
However, when she said this, there was an obvious change.
One had to know…
Eagle Country Oil Company… was a super company with a market value of more than a trillion yuan.
The man she was speaking to on the other end of the line had actually become the second-largest shareholder!
He was definitely a big shot who could hold the heavens in his hands!
“Mr. Lin, may I know where you are now? Is it convenient for us to meet?” the interpreter continued after a pause.
Lin Fan said, “I’m in Eagle Country now. As for the meeting… I’m at the exhibition center in Lun City to participate in the International Perfume Exhibition. I’m afraid I don’t have much time for the time being.”
There was no sound from the other line.
Obviously, Lin Fan’s answer surprised Jules Grant.
After a while, the interpreter said, “So, you’re in Lun City. That’s great! Mr. Jules Grant will definitely pay a visit personally later.”
Lin Fan chatted for a while more before hanging up.
Just as the interpreter had said, Jules Grant was indeed going to pay a visit.
However, just as he got in the car, the phone in his pocket rang.
He looked at the caller ID, and his expression became slightly solemn. He quickly picked up the phone and said respectfully, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Your Majesty?
Jules Grant called out softly, but there was no response from the other side of the phone.
“Huh? Did I accidentally make a call? Lil Jules, hello!”
Lil Grant?
One had to know that Jules Grant was already 61 years old!
In addition… as the chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company, how many people in this world could call him Lil Jules?
Queen Ibai was obviously among them!
That was because she was the queen of Eagle Country, and she was 91 years old!
“Greetings, Queen Ibai,” Jules Grant said hurriedly.
“Your oil company… How’s the situation recently?” Queen Ibai asked.
“Recently, the development has been stable and the overall situation is good,” Jules Grant said.
Queen Ibai nodded and said, “That’s not bad… Today is a workday. Are you still busy at the company?”
“I’m on my way to the exhibition center,” Jules Grant answered truthfully.
“Exhibition center?” Queen Ibai was puzzled.
“Yes, because there seems to be an International Perfume Exhibition there today. Our company’s new second-largest shareholder is exhibiting there,” Jules Grant said.
“Perfume!” Queen Ibai sighed.
Then, she seemed to have fallen asleep.
For a long time, there was no sound from the phone.
Jules Grant did not dare to disturb her and just held his phone silently.
At this moment, Queen Ibai spoke again, “What a nostalgic time. Lil Jules, let me go to the perfume exhibition with you.”
“Huh?” Jules Grant was slightly stunned. He did not expect the queen to make such a request.
Queen Ibai did not give him much time to react. “That’s all. Come to the palace first.”
After hanging up, Queen Ibai made two more calls.
Immediately after, the luxurious motorcade, the guards, and so on all moved quickly.
The queen was a noble person, so she had to show royal dignity and ensure her safety!
The commotion in the palace was quickly noticed by a pale and thin little girl.
When the little girl arrived at the main hall, Queen Ibai asked, “My cute Lil Riley, why are you here? How are you feeling?”
This little girl was called Riley, and she was Queen Ibai’s 15th great-granddaughter.
At the same time, she was also Queen Ibai’s favorite great-granddaughter.
Unfortunately, shortly after she was born, she suddenly suffered from a very strange illness. She had a loss of appetite, and she often vomited and fainted…
The doctors did all kinds of tests, but they were still unable to determine the illness…
“Riley is feeling very well,” Riley said.
“Alright, as long as Lil Riley is fine.” Queen Ibai smiled kindly.
“You seem to be sleeping very late recently. You have to take care of your health,” Riley said.
“Alright, alright!” Queen Ibai said happily. “My Lil Riley is so obedient. You’re even showing concern for me!”
An old man and a young man chatted casually in the hall. The topic was very relaxed, and they would laugh from time to time.
At this moment, Riley finally said, “I heard that you’re going to the exhibition center to attend a perfume exhibition. Can you bring me along?”
As she said this, her big eyes flashed.
Obviously, she was looking forward to this.
Queen Ibai opened her mouth but did not agree immediately.
That was because she knew that Riley’s physical condition was very bad.
Some doctors even said that accidents could happen at any time.
To participate in a perfume exhibition in such a physical condition… After all, there were too many people there. What if…
Rationally, Queen Ibai did not want her great-granddaughter to go to the perfume exhibition.
However, when she looked at Riley’s expectant eyes, her heart softened.
Ever since it was discovered that Riley was suffering from a strange illness, she had been staying in the palace almost every day. She was like a canary in a cage.
Perfume was like flowers, possessing a mesmerizing charm.
The perfume exhibition was like a blooming flower, attracting all the women.
It just so happened that there was a perfume exhibition today…
If Riley missed it, would there be a next time?
At the thought of this, Queen Ibai finally said, “Okay, then I’ll bring you to the perfume exhibition.”
“Really?” Riley shouted excitedly.
Queen Ibai smiled when she saw how happy she was. “Of course, it’s true.”
“That’s great!” Riley could not help but hug Queen Ibai’s arm.
At this moment, the sound of brisk footsteps could be heard from outside.
Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in European noble clothes slowly walked in.
He bowed slightly and said in a very respectful tone, “Respected Queen, Mr. Jules Grant requests an audience.”
