Chapter 43: Picking up a sister for nothing

"What is "vogue"? It seems to be a very famous magazine, which makes Du Chen-Koros so excited." Mark now walked around the Dusa Wax Museum and left, but he still had questions in his mind. What he couldn't understand was how could the magazine he had never heard of made Colos so excited?

"Ding Ding Ding" Mark's phone rang again. Usually Mark couldn't receive one call a day, but I didn't expect that today there were phone calls one after another. Mark is now riding a bicycle, but fortunately Mark took his headphones and answered the phone directly with his headphones.

"Hey, who?" Mark said absent-mindedly again.

"Mark, don't you even know my phone number? Sylvia will hold a small party at home tonight. You can also attend. Now Du Chen is busy with her career in the United States. You have nothing to do, so don't stay at home all the time, and relax if appropriate." Van der Fate's voice came from the phone.

"Okay, I'll go later, wait for me." Mark thought about it and agreed. Anyway, there was nothing going on next. Mark also wanted to ask Sylvia what "vogue" is. Although the online information is very developed now, Mark still hopes that Sylvia, the sexiest woman who is at the forefront of Dutch fashion, can answer her. After all, the word vogue means fashion in English.

After answering the answer, Mark took a shower and dressed up briefly, then went to Van der Fate's home in casual clothes. Now Mark is a celebrity, and he has endorsed several products, such as Li Ning's sneakers and Feiyada watches. These are things that can be displayed at any time, so Mark wore two things on his body at any time. Although Mark was just the signator of Li Ning's sneakers, as the signator of Li Ning's company, he still needs to wear all the shoes produced by Li Ning's company on his feet at all times. Of course, it is not just sneakers. Li Ning also produced many kinds of shoes, such as casual shoes. Now Mark wore Li Ning's casual shoes, then brought Feiyada's watch, put on jeans, put on a windbreaker, and then went to Van der Fate's villa.

Although Van der Fatt said he would move in with Mark, since there is no suitable location near Mark's home, the plan has been temporarily stranded. Anyway, the distance between the two people's rooms is not very far, and it takes about ten minutes to ride a bicycle.

However, Mark's arrival now shocked all the guests, because Sylvia invited all the celebrities from the Dutch fashion industry, and they all came in private cars. Although they claimed that their country was the kingdom of bicycles, the rich people were more willing to drive or take a taxi instead of riding bicycles. So when Mark appeared here on a bicycle, the atmosphere with the people here seemed very inconsistent.

"Mark, I was just talking to Sylvia about how you came. As Sylvia said, you came on a bicycle." At this time, Van der Fate saw Mark coming and hurried over and said, "You are now a player with Ajax's maximum salary. Why don't you buy yourself a car?"

"Because I can't drive, and I don't have time to learn." Mark gave a answer that stunned Van der Fate. Nowadays, there are not many children over the age of 18 in Europe who can't drive. This is also because Western cars are generally cheaper. Unlike in China, even if you can afford a car, you can't afford a car. Although it is very common to own private cars in big cities in China now, especially in the small city where Mark lived in 2004, private cars are still a symbol of wealth. Generally, only some individual bosses own private cars.

"Come in now." Van der Fate didn't do much trouble on this issue and let Mark get inside.

Since the party was open air, everyone was chatting outside the room. Fortunately, the weather in Amsterdam is good now, otherwise the weather in April would not be very warm. If it were placed in Northeast China, I believe no one would have had a meal outside.

Mark looked at the table with various foods, all of which were traditional Dutch meals. Dutch meals all contained potatoes, meat, and vegetables. There were some very distinctive Dutch dishes here: stamppot (smoked *** or pork with mashed potatoes and vegetables), hutspot (similar to stamppot, but with mashed potatoes and red ramen and onions, the main course is stewed pork), erwtensoep (strong pea soup with smoked *** or bacon), asperges (asparagus with ham and cream), kroketten (fried meatballs with mustard paste, a very popular snack in nightclubs), etc.

"Isn't this an open-air party? Why are there these hot dishes? What's the situation?" Mark asked Van der Fat next to him with some confusion. In his impression, the open-air party should be mainly cold dishes and platters. Since the party takes a long time, the hot dishes are not suitable for placement.

"I didn't tell you that today is an open-air party, but now the place outside is big enough now, we moved the table out. These are all my friends and I. I'll introduce you to you later." Vanderfart explained to Mark.

Now Mark finally understood what was going on. It turned out that he was having a meal outside today, which made Mark think it was a carnival, but he didn't expect that he was just having a meal now. But that's fine, Mark was just going to come here for a social event.

At this time, Sylvia finished her work in the room and walked out. She walked towards the place where Van der Fat and Mark were. After Sylvia saw Mark, the two hugged each other and kissed each other's cheeks to show friendship.

"Mark welcomes you to our party and try my skills later." Sylvia said proudly to Mark.

"No, you know how to cook. I have never eaten the food you cooked before. Don't tell me that you cooked these foods, sister." Mark widened his eyes and shouted loudly as if he had noticed something surprised.

Mark's shouting naturally attracted the attention of the guests around him, and these people looked in the direction of the three of them.

"Look low, don't you believe in my strength?" Sylvia looked at Mark's disbelief and hooked Mark's neck with anger. Due to the height of the two, Mark can only bend over and listen to Sylvia talking. It's so funny and funny that way.

"Believe, believe, sister, please, please let me get up? Don't you think I'm a little funny like this?" Mark said pretending to struggle.

"Okay, Metz, Mark is almost breathless now. Just let him go. I won't tell you about the Dutch chef who asked you to cook." Van der Fate was also helping Mark.

"Oh my God, Raphael, you actually said it, but I warn you two not to tell this secret to the third person, otherwise you will know the consequences, hahaha." Sylvia said to Mark and Van der Fate with her little fists and threateningly.

Mark and Van der Fate swallowed at the same time. They both knew some of Sylvia's methods. Mark patted Van der Fate on the shoulder at this time, and nodded at Van der Fate.

That means, good luck.

Since Mark was the last one to come, all the dishes have been served now and everyone has sat down. Van der Fate and Sylvia introduced their friends to Mark. Mark can only have a rough impression of these people. After all, there are many people coming this time, so Mark cannot remember them all at once.

"You are Mark, the hottest newcomer in Dutch football recently. Can you sign me with an autograph?" A blond Dutch beauty said excitedly after seeing Mark.

"I didn't bring a pen. Do you have a pen?" But now Mark did not bring a pen, so he could only say a little embarrassedly.

"Yes, I have it, but I don't have a book. I don't know if you can sign it on my shoulder straps, and you have your phone number by the way." The blonde beauty directly exposed the straps in his underwear and asked Mark to sign for her, and then looked at Mark with some ambiguous and provocative eyes.

"Okay, it's here, it's OK to sign." Mark trembled and signed his name and phone number. When Mark was signing, he even saw the lively little rabbit in the blonde beauty's chest.

After Mark met everyone, everyone sat down and started eating. During the meal, everyone talked about all the interesting stories and recent trivial matters in work and life.

Mark was not interested in other things except for interesting things. However, the blonde and blue-eyed beauty just now always looked at Mark with provocative eyes. Mark felt that she seemed a little crazy. Now Mark has a master of the famous grass. Although Mark thinks that this beauty looks good, Mark will not have anything to do with her at all.

Now Mark is tasting the Dutch specialty food made by Sylvia. To be honest, the taste is really good. It is indeed the taste of the restaurant. Mark wants to laugh while eating. Sylvia is so mysterious because of this matter. I really don’t understand what is going on.

"By the way, I have something to ask about what the vogue magazine is?" Mark asked Sylvia beside him.

"Haha, it must be Du Chen who called you, she also called me. I really envy her. I didn't expect her to be selected by vogue magazine. This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Sylvia did not directly answer Mark's question. She seemed to be in a dream now.

"Ahem!" Mark cleared his throat, which meant to remind Sylvia that she was off topic now and that she should answer her own question.

"Oh, sorry, I was a little lost just now." After hearing Mark's cough, Sylvia came back to her senses and continued to say to Mark: "Then I will briefly explain to you what "vogue" magazine is and its influence. "vogue", a magazine founded in one year and two years, is a fashion magazine with a long history and respectability in the world. The magazine covers all aspects of fashion, makeup, beauty, health, entertainment and art, and is a comprehensive fashion life magazine. In the United States, "vogue" is called the "fashion bible". Even in foreign countries, the famous "cos" is a long-standing "cos".

mopolitan (Chinese magazine name "Fashion") has not reached the level of being able to compete with "vogue", and "marieclaire" is not on the same level. Only "harper`sbazaar" and "elle" really compete with "vogue", which are hard to match. It can be said that as long as the person who has appeared on the cover of the magazine is not popular, it will be difficult for her to not be popular. It seems that you boy brought good luck to Du Chen. I didn't expect that she was able to be the cover girl of "vogue" not long after she became a boyfriend and girlfriend."

"So it's so amazing. I'm not that good. It seems that Du Chen is working very hard too. Thank you for explaining it to me." Mark also sighed that Colos is indeed working very hard now, and it is not much worse than himself.

While the two were chatting, one of them stood up and spoke.

"Let me say a few words now," Van der Fate stood up and said to everyone: "Today I invite my good friends here, there is something to be announced."

Everyone stopped chatting and eating and listened to Van der Fate's announcement about this matter. Everyone now doubted whether Van der Fate was about to announce his marriage with Sylvia. After all, the two have been dating for more than a year, and although the outside world has always maintained a skepticism, the two have been getting along well and their relationship has gradually heated up, so everyone speculated that this should be the case.

"Now let's welcome my girlfriend Sylvia Mess and Mark with warm applause." Van der Fate said that signaled Mark to stand up.

Everyone was stunned by Van der Fate's words all of a sudden. No one knew what was going on. Isn't this going on to announce the wedding date of the two? Now Mark is also involved. "Is it playing 3p? This is too heavy." Someone couldn't help but yy.

Sylvia stood up shyly, while Mark looked confused. He didn't know that it had anything to do with him. Originally, Mark thought that the marriage between Van der Fate and Sylvia was announced at this party, but he didn't expect that Van der Fate actually let himself stand up, "Do you want me to be your best man? But you don't have to be so grand." This kind of picture suddenly flashed in Mark's mind, but it was quickly denied by Mark. Then at least ten possibilities appeared in Mark's mind. Now Mark was simply question marks.

"Now I announce that the swornship ceremony between Sylvia and Mark has officially begun. Please give me some applause." Van der Fate finally revealed the answer. It turned out that today was the day when Mark and Sylvia officially became sworn brothers and sisters in different surnames.

After getting the answer, everyone put their hearts in their stomachs in one breath. Some people were ashamed of having such dirty thoughts, and everyone was happy that Mark and Sylvia could become sworn brothers. After all, this is also a good thing.

But now Mark was completely stunned. He didn't know when he had said he wanted to talk about swornship with Sylvia. Why did such a show suddenly come? What's the situation? Mark is standing awkwardly now. He wanted to ask but couldn't ask. He was afraid that if he really asked, he would have said when he had said swornship, but if he didn't say anything, Mark was still full of question marks in his heart, so now Mark is asking, not asking, nor can he be able to stand in awkwardly.

"Mark, have you forgotten your sister's previous agreement?" Sylvia now regarded herself as Mark's sister. When he saw Mark's expression, he knew that Mark must have forgotten that such a thing had happened before.

"This..." Mark didn't know what to say.

"It seems that you have really forgotten, it turns out that your previous words were funny," Sylvia pouted and pretended to be angry, "When we first met in a nightclub, you didn't say that if you could have a sister like me, you would definitely thank God for your gift, and also asked me if I was interested in being your sister. I wanted to give you a sudden surprise, but I didn't expect you to say it casually at that time."

"Damn... I might have drunk too much yesterday, it must be like this. My hangover hasn't woken up yet. How could I forget such a thing?" Mark patted his forehead and said, "It seems that alcohol is really a devil. He will deprive you of your memory, otherwise how could I forget such an important thing."

Sylvia looked at Mark's expression and knew that Mark must be pretending now. Mark rarely drinks alcohol, let alone hangover. However, after seeing Mark's expression now, Sylvia was also quite interested in watching Mark's acting there.

"This is the car key I gave you. It's a Porsche sports car. You can drive it when you get your driver's license." Sylvia took out her gift.

"Oh no, I forgot to buy a gift." Mark suddenly discovered a very important thing, that is, he did not bring gifts now, mainly because Mark didn't know about this show before coming. Mark also thought that this was just an ordinary family gathering. Now there seems to be nothing around Mark to give to Sylvia. Now Mark seems to be able to give it to Mark, but this is where Mark's life is, and it is impossible to give it to anyone.
