I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 1050

Chapter 1050: 1050

As an extreme comparison to the turbulent Europe, the situation in Xin on the other side of the globe was encouraging .

 Although Evelyn wasn’t elected as prime minister yet, Zhang Yaping showed the exiled head of state first-class courtesy under Jiang Chen’s instructions . They put their European friend up at the British Royal Hotel, which had existed since the colonial era .

 All the members of the upper class in Xin were invited, and Jiang Chen was naturally amongst those who were invited .

 After hearing abut the victory at Dnieper River, Evelyn congratulated Jiang Chen . While expressing his praise for the military prowess of Celestial Trade, he said in a half-joking tone, “Why don’t you send two orbital airborne brigades to Frankberg and end the war for us? Just put our name in the employer section—don’t worry about the money . ”

 “I’m not that gutsy . ” Jiang Chen handed the empty glass to the waiter and took another cup of champagne . He swished the clear liquor . “Ukraine is already NATO’s bottom line . If my people went a step further, your enemies wouldn’t be Frankberg troops and special forces . ”

 It was important to know your limit . Entering a full-scale war with NATO wasn’t something Jiang Chen wished . Regardless of whether he lost or won, the world would be no different than the apocalypse .

 A war that could stay rational till the last moment didn’t exist .

 “It seems that you’re not drunk . ” Evelyn laughed .

 “Are you testing me to see if I’m drunk? I’m sorry to disappoint you . This kind of juice is like boiled water to me . ” Jiang Chen also joked . He knew Evelyn wasn’t really serious .

 Rather than testing him for drunkness, he was testing his ambitions for Europe . If Jiang Chen really thought about stationing troops in Frankberg, Evelyn would have to reconsider his cooperation with Celestial Trade . He didn’t want to drive out the wolves only to bring in another tiger .

 After exchanging a few words with Jiang Chen, Evelyn went to socialize with other circles .

 Looking at the cunning old man chatting with several billionaires from Xin, Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head . He brought his champagne glass to the balcony next to the ballroom .

 I seem to be getting better and better this?

 A few years ago, he wouldn’t be able to tell other people’s intentions .

 The balcony was the second resting area at the banquet other than the dining table . As long as one stood there, no one would come and chat unless the guests were close .

 Leaning against the marble guardrail next to the balcony, the sea breeze from the western Pacific Ocean blew away the heat of his mind . To be honest, compared to the bustling ballroom, he enjoyed watching the bustling room from the side . Of course, it was nothing elegant . He spent most of his time watching what the ladies wore .

 Although he could see what the beach beauties wore from his balcony, they couldn’t compare to the upper-class ladies . Regardless of their appearance and bodies, the difference in their temperament alone was like night and day . Jiang Chen noticed a very interesting phenomenon . The female guests at the banquet all looked fine .

 Anyway, since he had nothing to do, he simply tasted his champagne while he rated the ladies, easing up the tension he had felt in the past few days .

 Yet, he wasn’t as relaxed as he appeared to be .

 He looked across the ballroom “observing”, but he was very careful not to look at any one particular person for too long . If he caused unnecessary misunderstandings, that would be troublesome . After all, when he looked at others, many people were also peeking at him .

 After staying on the balcony for a while, the champagne glass in Jiang Chen’s hand was empty . When he just saw a “princess” almost as cute as Yao Yao, a glamorous beauty walked over to him .

 She had a soft evening gown designed like a waterfall, pouring from her left shoulder to the carpet . A silk ribbon was wrapped around her waist, conservative but not without mystery . Her crystal high heels and her white ankles loomed under her spiral skirt, which complemented her fair skin above her neckline, highlighting her noble and glamorous temperament from inside out .

 “Do you want a drink?” With a glass of champagne in each hand, Xia Shiyu smiled and offered .

 “Of course, my beautiful queen . ” Jiang Chen placed the empty wine glass next to the marble guardrail . He teased her and took the champagne . “You’re stunning today . ”

 Xia Shiyu’s thin red lips curled up, and her eyes were filled with gorgeous colors . Obviously, she was very fond of Jiang Chen’s praise .

 However, Jiang Chen wasn’t a proper person . When she wasn’t paying attention, he put his hand around her smooth waist .

 Xia Shiyu’s cheeks suddenly turned red from being pulled into Jiang Chen’s arm . After she broke free, she looked around anxiously . When she realized no one had noticed, she felt relieved . Then she rolled her eyes . “What do you want? Look at the occasion…”

 Jiang Chen innocently shrugged, tilting his glass and gently clinking with her . “The Knight and the Queen—I thought you would like this setting . ”

 When Xia Shiyu heard the word “Knight”, she blushed even more . She eyed Jiang Chen with a smirk then walked away in her high heels .

 Looking at her seductive figure . Jiang Chen put the glass close to the lips and a smile formed .

 [Maybe this dress will do for tonight?]

 Just then, there was a long-distance call from Europe which interrupted his reverie .

 Jiang Chen opened the holographic screen and saw it was Monica . He pressed the button and walked to a quiet corner of the balcony .

 “Peter has boarded the plane . ” As soon as he picked up, Monica spoke .

 Jiang Chen was slightly surprised .

 If he remembered correctly, Peter should be in Sweden for a three-day diplomatic visit, and his next stop should be the three Baltic countries . Why did he return to the country?

 For a moment, he couldn’t guess why . He shook his head and didn’t think about it anymore .

 Anyway, to someone already dead, there was no difference .

 “Good, you can execute . ”

 Monica closed her lips and smiled respectfully .

 “Roger . ”
