Miss Moriarty wants to save Mihua Town today too

"But I'm a country pastor, sir. Can you tell me about the fear of what's to come?" Winnet brought the subject to the question she wanted to ask.

"Of course, ma'am. Almost all the shareholders and partners of the Durant Group who appeared on this ship are allowed to bring their friends and enjoy a long and short vacation." Odis took out his portable notebook , He took out a folded piece of paper from the middle, and he handed it to Winnett, "This is the invitation list for the banquet, and I have marked the names of the shareholders."

Winnet stuck the list in front of her face and read it in close proximity.She confirmed the names of the guests. Apart from the names of the marked shareholders, there were also the names of Suzuki Chairman Shiro Suzuki and some powerful people in Japanese companies. "I'm curious, why did you mark their names?"

Otis noticed Winnet's eyes.

"It was my negligence. I should read it to you. As for the answer to this question, because I decided to give up my shareholder qualifications, but the Durant Group forbids me to sell shares to outsiders, so I can only look for transfers among the group shareholders. target." Otis explained, "so just use this catalog as a list and find a good buyer in it."

"So it is."

"It's a kind of speculation. If I sell it at a better price, my life will be much easier in the future."

"Good luck to you, sir."

"Thank you, ma'am." Otis added, "There are a few hard-to-get-together guys in there, including young people. They all dreamed of share reorganization, but ma'am, you suddenly came. Those immature brats, probably won't be very friendly. There are also a few weird guys on the list, such as Baron Arman, hell, I have never heard of this person at all."

"I will pay attention. Thank you for your clarification." Winnet said politely, "Then I will take my leave first."

Winnet's sense of time is quite keen. According to her understanding of Shirley, Shirley was almost awake at this time.

"Dealing with shareholders, I just hope they don't mess with Shirley." Winnet doesn't understand the world composition of rich people. Some may be polite, and there may be people who have inherited the family business, childlike or arrogant.These are not the people she will deal with in the future, and they seem insignificant.

However, Shirley is not a disadvantaged character.

Winnet quietly opened the room and happened to meet Shirley coming out of the bathroom.

The white water mist accompanied her figure and passed in front of her, and her vision spit out a picture of pure whiteness, and after another year or two, it would not be too much to hang it with purity and beauty, just like God's field lilies.Winnet had heard the beauty preached by the nun more than once.

"What?" Shirley asked.

"It's nothing."

"We didn't bring something like a bathrobe. It was a bit of a mistake." Shirley sighed. "According to the speed of this ship, it will take about ten days to reach Japan."

"It's been a long time." Winnet was a little embarrassed. If it weren't for her, the plane might have arrived in a day.

"Modern ships generally pursue speed. This ship has obviously been built not long ago. With the financial resources of the Durant Group, it must be the top of the range of long-distance passenger transport. Well, let's treat it as a vacation."

Shirley took out the milk from the freezer without a single strand of hair on her face.Winnet is quite familiar with this scene, and there are similar plots in Japanese manga.

……

105 Let My Princess Make a Perfect Appearance

"Winette, help me get my handbag from the locker."

Winnet's movements were obviously restrained, and she handed the bag to Shirley from a distance, as if there was an invisible field in front of her.After treating Shirley differently, it is difficult for her to change into the relaxed attitude she had when she first met.

Miss Winnet felt that she might be a very emotional person.

"Why such a big reaction?" Shirley laughed. In her opinion, Winnet was a little too reserved, no different from a rigid oriental person, as if she came from a Catholic family with strict upbringing.

"See no evil."

"Oh, Confucius. You have covered a lot." Shirley was a little surprised.

"Well, I have a wide range of interests in reading." Winnet lied casually, and she couldn't bring up things in her previous life.

"But no matter who you look at, it's the same as looking at a mannequin in a store, right? There's only blurry white, even if it's just for you, you won't appreciate the beauty."

Just for me?Winnet was dumbfounded, feeling dry in her mouth and throat, not to mention the thought-provoking word "wonderful".She thinks Shirley is good in everything, but she always speaks with thorns, and she always teases others, which needs to be changed, otherwise it will easily lead to resentment.

It doesn't matter to her.

Winnet, who has a conservative personality, feels that it is not good for Shirley to say these things all the time. She is not a saint, and she always has some thoughts of guilt.

"What's the difference?" Winnet retorted, "When you see someone you're not interested in, you can appreciate it at most, but if you like someone, your feelings will be completely different."

"Just say you like me in broad daylight, you're not ashamed!"

Winnet was speechless.

Shirley opened her handbag, took out olive oil from it and applied it to her face.Starting to take care of your skin at such a young age?Winnet murmured in her heart that a certain village girl grew up rough, climbing trees and fighting. For a while, Sister Alyssa complained that she was raised by Bridger as an American monkey.

But perhaps because of her natural beauty, she has no skin troubles yet.

Shirley applied olive oil on her cheeks to make them look softer and more plump.

"Instead of staring at me, maybe you should consider using skin care products." Shirley said, "Well, I don't think you need any more cosmetics, so it's good for you to maintain this temperament."

What kind of temperament?Miss Winnet was a little puzzled, but she was not interested in makeup, and the pastor rarely did it. Unless it was a big occasion, she might put on a little makeup to make her skin look brighter and more lustrous.

But Shirley is only 13 years old, right?Winnet thinks that precocity is a double-edged sword, and children should have cuteness.Shirley didn't understand her little thoughts.

"You'd better tidy up too. Aren't you going to a banquet tonight?"

"Ah."

Winnet walked into the bathroom, which was much more luxurious than the attic, with a bathtub that was more than enough for two people.Wait, two people?Miss Winnet shook her head. She saw an unopened nail brush beside her, and she took a hot bath while she did her nails.

When she turned off the water and wiped her body with a towel, the door was pushed open.

"Wear today's clothes, or this one?" Shirley came in and urged.

Seeing a light and fluffy dress, the whole body was pure white, Winnet couldn't help asking: "Uh... where did it come from?"

"How about the gift I bought for you?" Shirley held it sideways, showing her smile.

"It's beautiful, but..."

"Then this one is fine. There are only two or three, and there is nothing to choose." Shirley directly helped Winnet finalize the result.

"OK then."

Winnet murmured.She didn't wear this kind of clothing, it gave her the feeling that it was like the white robe in the Catholic choir, but it was a battle-damaged version.

"Huh, let me help you." Shirley walked behind Winnet.

"Uh." Winnet shrank her shoulders unnaturally.

"Here's a white hair." Shirley pulled Winnet's white hair out, touching her neck with cold fingers.

Winnet felt like she was going to get goosebumps.

"How can you tell if you have white hair? Isn't my hair white?" Winnet said.

"It's just that you can't tell the difference. It's actually a bright silver-blue color... However, it's easy to miss if you don't look carefully."

"Is there a difference between silver and white?" Winnet originally thought that she was suffering from some kind of whitehead disease, but it seemed that it was just a unique feature of the world.

A certain diary with a low sense of presence is still in the box, open it today and have a look.she thought.

"How can it be the same? The latter is mostly caused by pathological factors."

Shirley replied, and asked Winnet to sit on the stool in front of the vanity mirror.She originally wanted to cover up the front, but Shirley's eyes reflected in the mirror were bright.

This made her feel as if they were used to similar situations, as if they were more related to those couples who had been together for a long time.But, husband and wife?She was ashamed of what she thought, especially since Shirley was right behind her, aware of the sight, and even more uncomfortable.

Shirley didn't say a word, and stretched out her hand to comb Winnet's hair.Then she painted something on her cheeks, Winnet didn't know, just let it be her way.

"Well, it's perfect."

"Hmm." Winnet was unfamiliar with the hairstyle in the mirror, "princess braid?"

"Aren't you the protagonist tonight?" Shirley asked back.

There is also a sense of accomplishment in dressing up the person you like beautifully.This strange feeling made Shirley feel strange. To be honest, she used to be too lazy to think about the things in life. Buying goods was more like an act of venting anger. It was done to pass the time and lacked a kind of initiative.Shirley thinks that way of life is too boring, so she also wants to make a positive change.

At least, let Winnet feel her emotions.Looking at the person in the mirror, she felt that she really had the feeling of the noble lady on the screen. Although she was a little superficial considering her appearance, there was no doubt that her Winnet was at the top level.

"Although it is, but..."

"I want my princess to be perfect."

Winnet was blocked by Shirley's words.It's not suitable for the members of the organization no matter how you think about it. This makes Miss Winnet feel weird about being a spy. Maybe she should learn from Jacques.But since Shirley has something to look forward to, she has to respond. Even if it is revenge and crime, she can only be happy if she sees the miserable state of her partner.Responses are important, Winnet thought.

"Stay like this for a while."

Winnet obeyed Shirley's advice, and when she was almost dry, she changed into the light and fluffy skirt Shirley had prepared; the fabric was warm but thin, as if it had no weight, which made her feel uncomfortable.But seeing Shirley push her to the half-length mirror with an interested look, she slowly dispelled her worries.

There is also timidity and hesitation about the banquet.

At this time, there was not much time left before the banquet. After a while, Shirley got ready.

Winnet was already waiting for Shirley at the door.

……

106 True and False Knights ([-])

They went to the restaurant where the banquet was held.On the way, Winnet couldn't help sneaking a few glances at Shirley, since she was standing very close to her side, she could see clearly.The slim dark blue shirt and long black skirt made Shirley more mature.With the addition of impressions, Shirley's every move became more mature, exuding a sense of mystery.

When they got to the hall, they found a free table and stood beside them, waiting for the banquet to start.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is completely different from the daytime, with warm lighting, the smell of wheat filled with food, and a faint smell of wine. Everyone is dressed very formally and waits meticulously.During this process, there are people who chat with each other while holding a glass of wine, and there are also those who are lonely and wait alone.

"You are here too."

Masaru Ota from the Film Research Institute stepped forward to talk, followed by a group of people from the Film Research Institute, a blond man and a tall woman with gorgeous makeup.

The woman steps forward, and Winnet gets a glimpse of her in full; the silhouette of the expression is somewhat haughty, and despite the mature make-up, it cannot conceal the fact that she is still young.Winnet deduced that she was about the same age as Ayako Suzuki.

"Hello." The woman held out her hand to Winnet.

Winnet shakes hands with women.

During this process, the woman's expression changed slightly, as if a little disgusted.

"Maybe you should take care of it, it makes me feel like a man." The woman reminded in a low voice.

Winnet didn't care about that.It is difficult to tell what causes her hands to become callused simply by feeling; shooting is only one aspect, holding a cold weapon, minor bruises, and the impact of working in the church.

She was not a young lady in the first place, so naturally she didn't care about it.

"Thank you for your suggestion. I am Winette Moriarty."

"Just call me Sophia." Sophia said again, "We are likely to be partners in the future."

Partner?It seemed she had misunderstood, Winnett was not going to focus on running a business.But when she thought about it again, Sovia was probably the candidate to be placed in Durant's Japanese branch.

She not only owns shares, but also wants to become a real power faction. She is a woman with a strong personality.Winnet also remained understanding of her previous actions.

"Is it okay to hold for so long?" Shirley said in German, but seeing that Winnet couldn't understand, she switched to Chinese.

This time Winnet understood, but her Chinese became a little rusty, mainly reflected in the accent, "How many languages ​​do you know?"

"Who knows?" Shirley shrugged.

The conversation between the two of them made the rest of them feel in a fog.Winette knows that at this point in time, the international community is not so enthusiastic about learning Chinese. Even Japanese, except those who study Chinese linguistics, can probably understand "Hello", "Thank you", " Xiaolongbao".

"Is it Chinese?" The blond-haired, blue-eyed man was very excited, and incidentally did a Bruce Lee's signature move.

Seeing his performance, Winnet immediately had the impression that humans and animals were harmless.

"Hi," he said in broken Chinese, then switched back to English, "I'm Clyde, two beautiful ladies."

Suzuki Ayako stepped forward and explained, "These two are also willing to join our filming."

Eighty percent of them were requested by members of the film club.With Suzuki Ayako's personality, she might not make such an abrupt request.Winnet greeted them one by one, and she caught a glimpse of Shirley picking up the drink on the table and pouring it into a cup.

"The lens will be added again, is there any problem?"

Suzuki Ayako showed an apologetic smile, and explained the details: "The president said there is no problem, but a new lens has been added, the number of people will increase, and the expressiveness will also increase."

Clyde is keen to discuss things about movies.During the period, the two newcomers made a more detailed self-introduction. They are both the management of the soon-to-be established Japanese branch.Once she inherits the shares, she will be equivalent to the chairman of the Durant Group. Winnett feels that it is likely that they agreed so readily when they learned that they had participated in the shooting of the short film.

Before the dinner started, they had been discussing the content and issues of the shooting.

It wasn't until the lights changed that Gladstone Edwards stepped onto the stage, flanked by an elderly man in a housekeeper's suit, helping him adjust the microphone.

A tall and thin old man about 50 years old, his cheeks are a little thin, with a capable and iron-blooded feeling, and his mustache is carefully trimmed.

Edward saluted the guests, and after a succinct opening speech, he blessed everyone in a Christian way. "Presumably, you already know that I have something important to announce today."

"My good friend, that is, Bridge Moriarty, the largest shareholder of the Durant Group. He passed away unfortunately more than half a year ago; he is a cautious person. He entrusted his will to me many years ago. He will hand over all of his property to his daughter who is fostered in the church, that is, Miss Winette Moriarty. However, she is only 17 years old, and there is still some time before she officially inherits the shares."

"At this dinner, I will introduce her to you." Edward immediately found Winnet in the audience, "Please come up, Miss Moriarty."

Just like when I was a child, there was a decompression method of treating the audience as carrots. Miss Winnet felt that she couldn’t see it clearly anyway, so she regarded everyone as cotton candy; learning the dignified posture trained in the church, Winnet walked on the stage .
