Chapter 326 (1/2)
"Really?" Bili first made memories, thought about where she had gone the day before yesterday, seemed to think of something unhappy, lowered her head and stopped talking.
"Why, can I help you?" Locke asked with his head sideways.
"No, thanks." Bili shook her head and replied.
After being shut up, Locke was curious about what trouble Bili had encountered, but it was not easy to ask directly. Looking at Qiao Jin and Angelina, who were laughing and talking not far away, they sat quietly together without saying a word.
Qiao Jin's garden is semi open-air. There is a breeze blowing overhead and bursts of flower fragrance. Bili smelled the flower fragrance and looked at Locke sitting next to her. Her thoughts couldn't help turning to what happened at the beginning of this year.
The Billie family is a standard business family in Princeton. None of the elders in the family has a high title. The grandfather with the highest title is just a count.
However, the Billie family is based on business. Her family has established many commercial stores in Princeton, and there are also many industries in other provinces outside Princeton.
It is impossible to say that the country is as rich as the enemy, but when it comes to family financial resources, the Bili family has been comparable to half of the Marquis family.
With so much property, there are also many jealous forces. Bili's family has many opponents, some are commercial competitors, and some are ambitious people who want to seize her family's wealth.
Although the Bili family has united with many business families close to it, in Princeton, it is still walking on a steel wire. There is no eternal enemy but only eternal interests. When the Bili family loses power, several of these former partners will continue to protect them, even the contemporary owners have no bottom in their hearts.
At the end of last year, a major event happened in Princeton. A Marquis was dismissed by his majesty because he stood in the wrong line in the government and the opposition.
It doesn't matter that the Marquis fell. Coincidentally, the Marquis is one of the biggest protective umbrellas for the Bili family to maintain its competitive advantage in business.
Nowadays, many families have joined hands to restrict the Bili family. Her family's industry in Princeton is still booming, but in other provinces, many business channels have been cut off this year.
What Bili was worried about was the several marriages introduced to her by the family at the beginning of this year.
Bili, who has graduated from Imperial College for one year, was barely promoted to a middle-level magic apprentice last summer through the precious potion bought by her family.
Unfortunately, the strength of the medium-level magic apprentice can not help Bili get rid of the control of her family in this regard. Even her grandfather, who loved her most, did not pay attention to Bili when the family suffered such a heavy blow at the beginning of the year. Even in the event of giving Bili a blind date, her grandfather's dark hand was promoting it.
Bili, the blind date, has been in contact with almost all of them. Behind them, they are either big aristocratic families with profound strength or business families with complex roots in the omor empire.
But the ability of these blind dates is a little worrying. They are either those who wait for death to enjoy the shelter of the family, or mediocre people who are destined to do nothing in their life.
How could Billie, who boasts of being a talented girl, choose these people as her future husband.
There is no harm without comparison. Compared with those people, Locke, who climbed up from the bottom step by step, seems so extraordinary and gifted.
Bili, who has been used to rich clothes and food since childhood, is also spoiled by her elders at home, which makes Bili's demand for material energy very simple. She appreciates the kind of talented and capable people.
