196: Chapter 196 The Holy Land of Football!”If you had called me, I would have come over immediately. I went to bed a bit early last night.”

Shen Zhou spread his hands helplessly.

At this moment, Maria was blushing as she bit her lip, then subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to meet Shen Zhou’s gaze at all.

Only after saying those words did she realize how outrageous her statement had been.

It was only because she could be certain that Shen Zhou was very interested in her.

Otherwise, even as a professional woman, that kind of remark would have been enough to constitute sexual harassment in the workplace.

”How about I wait for you tonight?”

Shen Zhou lowered his head with a chuckle, staring at Maria with bright, piercing eyes.

Just like that, a blush rose to Maria’s cheeks. In the end, she shyly stomped her foot and hurriedly ran off in the direction of the guest room.

”Boss, I’m going to go touch up my makeup first.”

Maria’s shy, feminine voice drifted to Shen Zhou’s ears on the wind.

Shen Zhou, holding a food tray in his hands, burst into hearty laughter.

All around them, many people were watching this scene with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

”That Western beauty just now must be this guy’s secretary. This guy is truly lucky!”

”Who’s to say otherwise? That woman just now was truly top-tier!”

”That waist-to-hip ratio was absolutely perfect. It’s a pity that such a beauty is someone we could never touch in this lifetime!”

Many people watched Maria’s shyly retreating figure, unable to stop clicking their tongues in wonder.

Even by the standards of Asia aesthetics, Maria’s face was still very delicate.

Not to mention, wearing professional attire, Maria was filled with a seductive, office-professional aura.

And those who could stay in a star-rated hotel breakfast hall on a workday, besides some private business owners, were mostly high-level white-collar workers.

Even if these people earned a lot of money, that was only compared to other working stiffs.

They simply couldn’t be compared to truly wealthy tycoons.

Therefore, they simply had no qualifications to even touch a beauty of Maria’s level.

It wasn’t until Shen Zhou finished his meal and returned to his room that Maria gently knocked on the door.

Looking at Maria, whose cheeks were still slightly flushed, Shen Zhou decided not to tease her anymore.

The two of them headed to the Hong Kong airport together, boarded the private jet gifted by Andrei, and then headed towards Dubai.

After having a meal in Dubai with the busy Benrati, and taking Gudisha out for a day of fun, Shen Zhou soon took Maria to attend Monica’s art exhibition.

”Maria, this art exhibition for Princess Monica is very important. You need to get the information regarding the patients ready as soon as possible.”

After the two boarded the plane, Shen Zhou suddenly remembered that Maria didn’t know their destination this time, so he hurriedly reminded her.

Maria didn’t complain; instead, she immediately straightened her posture and entered work mode.

Beside her, Shen Zhou closed his eyes and drifted into a light sleep, while Maria stood up from her seat and went to a corner.

In the end, fearing she would disturb Shen Zhou, she left the plane’s cabin and entered the galley area to start contacting relevant personnel and gathering effective data and information.

It must be said that after the hellish business training at the Swiss Bank, Maria was very qualified to act as a private secretary.

Moreover, in the process of fulfilling her role, she even handled tasks within the scope of many professional executives.

This was also one of the reasons why Zhao Pengju admired Maria so much at this moment.

Even a favored son of heaven like Zhao Pengju had to show Maria sufficient respect.

This was something Maria had earned through her own ability, not her outstanding appearance.

The group spent nearly ten hours on the plane before successfully landing at the destination’s international airport.

By this time, Maria had already organized the large amount of collected data into volumes.

She also conveniently sent the electronic version of the data to Shen Zhou.

After Shen Zhou briefly browsed the materials, he had a slight understanding of the upcoming private art exhibition.

”Monica is playing for high stakes this time.”

Even while walking through the airport’s VIP passage, Shen Zhou’s thoughts were still drifting slightly.

When they reached the end of the passage, the shuttle vehicles arranged in advance by the hotel were already in place.

A full three stretched Rolls-Royce models were parked in a curved formation.

Shen Zhou and Maria’s luggage had naturally already been loaded onto the three Rolls-Royce cars by designated personnel.

Then, Shen Zhou had someone select the car in the middle for them to board.

The experienced driver, wearing white gloves, greeted Shen Zhou and the other respectfully, then started the car steadily and glided off like a slide towards the five-star hotel where the two were staying.

At this stage, according to Shen Zhou’s wishes, every time Maria booked a room, it was the highest-tier suite within the hotel.

However, Maria would not stay in the same suite as Shen Zhou; she always chose a lower-tier small suite for herself.

After all, she was very clear about her professional positioning.

A secretary must leave enough private space for their boss.

Of course, unless she could get into Shen Zhou’s bed in the future, she still had to maintain the necessary professional spirit.

On the other side, inside the presidential suite, Shen Zhou dialed Monica’s number.

”Monica, I’ve arrived. You haven’t sent me the location of your art exhibition yet, have you?”

”But I heard that football is done very well in this place. It seems it’s even called something like the glory of your royal family.”

”Is this the reason why you are hosting your private exhibition here?”

Shen Zhou couldn’t help but ask.

This country has cultivated a large number of world-class football players.

Although the country is small, it has world-class football stadiums.

”Hahaha, there is indeed that consideration, but more of it is because I hope to use this private art exhibition to promote my hometown to the whole world.”

”Moreover, my hometown has many world-class teams, such as AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus.”

”So these three teams are completely worthy of being the glory of our Ancient Roman Royal Family.”

Monica, on the other end of the line, was very proud.

Then, she personally sent someone to pick up Shen Zhou and Maria and bring them to the site of the private art exhibition.

Arriving at the venue, Shen Zhou had originally expected to see a truly lively opening ceremony.

But who knew that the exhibition venue already had crowds of people coming in and out, and the kind of opening ceremony he had imagined simply didn’t appear.

So he couldn’t help but express his confusion to Monica, who was beside him.

”Shen Zhou, this should be your first time attending an art exhibition.”

”A real private art exhibition doesn’t have that kind of grand opening ceremony.”

Monica didn’t show any strange look; instead, she patiently explained.

”A private art exhibition is an opportunity and platform for an artist to display their inner world to the whole world.”
