The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 362 Here He Comes, Here Comes Chow

"How powerful can he be? A doctor and a merchant, when it comes down to it, neither can withstand a single blow."

"You," the King shook his head, deeply disappointed in his son.

Without doing sufficient homework, overly underestimating the enemy, how could such a person ever lead a nation as the future King?

"Lu Xingzhou is no ordinary merchant; he has the backing of a nation. Do you think Lu’s High-Tech is just for making new energy vehicles? For what, brain instruments? Fool! In reality, they’re researching aerospace new energy and brain cell regeneration technology!"

"Incredible..." The Prince was suddenly rendered speechless.

"Your mother said you needed a few more years of experience, and I used to disagree, but now I see there’s a great need for it!"

The King paused, his expression somber, "Then do you know who Jiang Man really is?"

The Prince shook his head like an idiot.

"The heiress to the King Group of M country, and Lu’s family has made a marriage alliance with the King Group, yet this matter has been kept secret from the entire world..."

The Prince’s pupils dilated with shock.

Behind Lu’s stood Z country and now Lu’s had tied a marriage alliance with M country’s foremost enterprise.

The connections forming behind these events were no longer just between families, but nations and nations.

"Jiang Man will obviously not take our nation’s citizenship; just now, I was merely testing them both. You understand why they’re keeping their marriage a secret now, right?"

"Please enlighten me, Father..."

"King Group and Lu’s must be conspiring something. If these two join forces, wouldn’t they have total control over the global economy?"

The biggest factor behind the rising oil prices in Bay country and even the Middle East, aside from warfare, is the impact of the international environment.

Before, the Prince had thought of Jiang Man only as a Divine Doctor. Now, hearing her true identity, his affection only grew stronger!

If he could become King’s distinguished son-in-law, wouldn’t he then control the lifeblood of the global economy?

"Father, your son still wants to try, to win over Jiang Man!"

"You are no match for Lu Xingzhou."

"Father, believe in your son, I am confident!"

...

On the way back to Sailboat Hotel, Vermilion Bird finally made a call.

Jiang Man answered the phone almost immediately, unable to contain her excitement.

"Miss, the bar here has closed, it seems Commander Chow has stood us up..."

"However, tomorrow we’ll clean up the remnants of the Blackwater Pirates, and Commander Chow will personally lead the peacekeeping forces into battle."

Jiang Man hung up the phone, her spirits dampened.

Chasing after idols really wasn’t her thing.

Forget it.

"When are we returning to the country?"

Jiang Man glanced at the man next to her.

At that moment, he was resting with his eyes closed.

Without opening his eyes, he replied indifferently, "In two days, there’s still unfinished business here."

"The goods have already been delivered to Bay country, right?"

"There’s the aftermath to deal with."

"Alright, then I’ll play here for two more days." Jiang Man did not say more.

There were plenty of beautiful women on the beaches here; feasting his eyes and relaxing wasn’t a bad idea.

...

For two days, Jiang Man settled into an elderly-style health resort vacation.

Basking in the sun every day, drinking beer, watching beach swimwear shows, she was quite relaxed and carefree.

On the third day, the embassy called her to say they had arranged a New Year’s party and invited her to attend.

The annual festival parties here were always conducted with great splendor.

They also invited locally renowned Chinese, Chinese descendants, or overseas Chinese to attend.

The goals were to promote Chinese culture and enhance national cohesion.

"Sorry, we will not be here for New Year’s, we need to return to our country."

Jiang Man spoke indifferently, not very interested.

The other side seemed to know her thoughts well, "Miss Jiang, Commander Chow will also honor us with his presence."

"Fine, I’ll go." Jiang Man was succinct.

Last time she had a one-on-one appointment, and Chow had stood her up.

This time at the embassy’s gathering, he surely couldn’t play big shot and disappear again, right?

Hearing that there was another chance to meet Chow, Vermilion Bird and Seth were both greatly excited.

The two specially hired a famous local tailor to custom-make a qipao each.

These days Lu Xingzhou was too busy; other than calling Jiang Man a few times, there had been no other contact.

Jiang Man wasn’t clingy; knowing the other party was busy, she didn’t disturb him.

...

Time flew by swiftly.

Two days later, at the embassy’s banquet hall.

After presenting their invitations, Jiang Man and her group entered.

Inside were people of all shapes and colors, all with Chinese faces without exception.

Seth obviously became one of the few western faces.

The three of them were all dressed in qipao today, Jiang Man in a majestic gold- embroidered magpie design.

Vermilion Bird and Seth both wore bright red, looking very festive.

Wu Yingfan was in a Tang suit, having purposely chosen a yellow jacket.

Walking side by side with Jiang Man, they resembled golden boy and jade girl.

However, they only drew the attention of other Chinese people for a moment.

The group quickly turned their gazes away and resumed their gossip.

"Have you heard? Two important people are coming tonight!"

"Who who?"

"Each year the New Year’s party invites heavyweight guests. Last year, wasn’t it the renowned calligrapher Song Wenzhi? Who is it this year?"

"You’ll never guess!"

"Stop with the suspense!"

"The Divine Doctor Man and the peacekeeping team’s Godly Commander Chow!"

Chow they understood, that’s just the Chinese family name translated into English, as in the ’Zhou’ surname.

Just hearing the name ’Commander Chow’ signifies he is a Chinese person.

But Man...

Is that a first name or a surname?

"Divine Doctor Man isn’t Chinese, right? I’ve heard many rumors about him; he’s supposed to be Caucasian."

"What Caucasian? He’s a master of Chinese medicine."

"I see! Then tonight will indeed be a spectacle, both are very mysterious, yet well-known globally!"

"If we weren’t forbidden from filming at the party, capturing their real faces and uploading to YouTube would absolutely explode the scene!"

"These people really are..." Wu Yingfan listened to the guests’ discussions, finding them ludicrous.

"Aren’t we also curious about the real face of Chow? In reality, we’re no different from the onlookers," Jiang Man wasn’t too bothered.

Everyone has curiosity, especially for gossip. It’s human nature.

"I heard from the Consul General’s wife, Commander Chow is very young, not yet thirty, tonight everyone be proactive, let’s see who can secure this distinguished son-in-law!"

Hearing this, Jiang Man shook her head.

The thing engraved into the DNA of the people from Z country, wherever they go, they play matchmaker, tying the red string.

Every single person, male or female, even livestock, were involved in matchmaking.

Poor thing, even the valiant and upright Commander Chow couldn’t escape being paired off.

"And what about Divine Doctor Man, what’s his status? Single?"

"As Chinese medicine practitioners age, they become more powerful. Divine Doctor Man is probably of advanced years, you can stop dreaming."

"Hahaha... burp..." Wu Yingfan was on the brink of laughing himself to death.

"It’s like any dog passing by the roadside has to be dragged away for breeding, hahahahaha."

"If you don’t talk, no one would think you’re mute!" Jiang Man gave him a disdainful look.

At that moment, the banquet hall was lively with significant commotion.

"They’re here, they’re here, the Consul General, the Consul’s wife, and Commander Chow have arrived!"
