Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Circle Is So Small
I thought she would be very contemptuous and say that she doesn't like very naïve, incapable people, implying that she doesn't look down on ordinary people, who knows, she doesn't even bother to answer this question...... Oh, this mentality with a strong sense of superiority can easily lead to the loss of control when you are promoted later...... Klein couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
In his cognition, the extraordinary is just a human being with additional abilities, which is equivalent to being very rich and very status, in essence, still having human attributes, and cannot be separated from society, and must reach sequence 4 before there is a qualitative change.
Moreover, most of the demigods are also active in human society, and even Will Unsetin, the "Serpent of Destiny" in Sequence 1, is also making unborn fetuses well...... Perhaps it is only at the stage of the "blasphemer" Amun that they can truly look at the real world with the eyes of a "god...... Klein's thoughts turned, and he took the initiative to speak:
"I'm sorry, but I used to be a businessman who traveled back and forth between the North and South continents, and I didn't have much experience with balls, hehe, I mean this kind of balls. ”
"It doesn't matter. Hazel replied calmly, seemingly not caring whether the other party brought up the topic just now.
If it were someone else, he didn't know how to make small talk with this arrogant girl at this time, and could only focus on dancing, but Crane was now considered to be well-informed, experienced, and had enough knowledge of the mysterious world to different extraordinary people, and he smiled and said along with the apology just now:
"For me, this is not an easy challenge than the sea, there are also beautiful landscapes, but there are also countless difficulties, and of course, there are all kinds of treasure stories circulating on the sea, some of which are obviously fake, some of which sound real but cannot be verified, like the number one 'Death's Key'. ”
"The key to death?" Hazel looked up and looked at Mr. Dawn Dantès, who was much taller than herself.
Sure enough, this kind of extraordinary person with a strong sense of superiority will always be interested in involving mysterious things...... Klein chuckled and nodded slightly:
"Yes, rumored to be somewhere hidden in the Furious Sea......"
He recounted the treasure legends he had heard on the White Onyx in a selective way, and added more details about what he had heard during his subsequent adventures.
In the process, he inevitably mentions the "Four Kings" and the Seven Pirate Generals.
Hazel was clearly interested in this, and responded to Klein in a rare way, and even occasionally asked questions, which made the dance between the two no longer awkward, and before they knew it, it came to an end.
Klein deftly ended the topic and asked instead:
"Are you going back to where you were, or are you going to go over there and get some food?"
After a dance, the man must follow the woman's wishes and send her where she wants to go, not necessarily where she originally was.
Hazel opened her mouth, as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end she did not say those words, and nodded reservedly:
"The place just now. ”
Hehe, she is obviously a little reluctant to tell the story at sea...... This is a big bear child, as long as you find the right temper and find the right hobbies, it is not so difficult to get along with...... With a smile on his face, Crane sent Hazel back to the edge of the dance floor, where she had been standing.
As for himself, of course, he pretended to be casually walking to the long tables with all kinds of food, picked up a plate, and sandwiched himself a pan-fried keel fish with a cut veal steak with black pepper sauce.
Food is the essence of the party rather than dancing and socializing...... Klein thought as he tried to make his eating gesture look graceful.
Then he saw Madame Mary approaching and forking a piece of foie gras from red wine to the plate.
Seeing that the other party glanced at him, Klein smiled politely and nodded, which was regarded as a response.
"I don't know what to call you? I haven't seen you at the banquets and balls that Councilor Mahert has held before. Perhaps it was Lady Mary, who saw that Daun Dantès's sideburns were white, her blue eyes were deep, she was very attractive, and her cheekbones were high and her appearance was average.
Klein smiled and said:
"I'm Dawn Dantès, a businessman who has just come from Ducey Bay, and I live in this neighborhood.
"Ma'am, am I lucky enough to know your name?"
Mary nodded thoughtfully, knowing that this was a businessman struggling to squeeze into high society, just like her old self.
She smiled and said:
Mary Schott, Director of Coim & Co. ”
She did not mention that she was the largest shareholder of Coim or that she was currently a member of the Air Pollution Investigation Commission, which was a Rune-esque implication.
Mary Short, this is a return to her father's last name? Yes, she is divorced...... Klein muttered silently and said with a smile:
"I know this company, which specializes in anthracite and high-quality charcoal, has expanded very rapidly in recent months, hehe, frankly, I have the intention to invest, but it doesn't seem to be able to compete with others. ”
After the introduction of the air pollution bill, the demand for anthracite and high-quality charcoal increased dramatically, and the company was able to develop beyond years of hard work, and the total value is said to have exceeded 250,000 gold pounds. Klein's intention to invest is not casual nonsense, but he really feels that this industry will become more important in the coming years until alternative energy sources are discovered.
Mary has always been proud of the fact that she has promoted the release of the air pollution investigation report and made the company grow significantly, and said with a smile:
"This is because people are paying more and more attention to the environment in which they live. ”
Speaking of this, she sighed slightly and said:
"While it's getting better, there's more and more trouble. ”
Because they met "just", Klein didn't ask about any trouble, relying on the fact that he had known Lady Mary before, and easily found the topic that the other party was interested in, so that the two chatted quite happily.
Hehe, her attitude towards Sherlock Moriarty and Dawn Dantès is very different...... The original familiar person, after changing his face and identity, stood in front of her, but was treated with a new face, without a single problem, this feeling is really amazing...... Chatting and chatting, Klein sighed for a while, only to feel that the "Faceling" potion he had taken was rapidly digesting.
After a few minutes, a handsome man with brilliant blond hair came up with a glass of red wine, and said to Lady Mary with a smile:
"Mary, what are you talking about?"
"Hibbert, this is Mr. Dawn Dantès from Dicy, and his experience at sea in West Byron was really quite interesting. Mary immediately introduced the two of them, "This is Mr. Hibbert Hall, the eldest son of the Earl of East Chester, and hehe, we should have called him Lord, but he would have preferred us to call him Mr. Principal Secretary, Chief Secretary of the Air Pollution Investigation Commission." ”
I've heard you say, of course, when you were active as Sherlock Moriarty...... The Earl of East Chester, this is a great nobleman, a real top of society...... Crane saluted respectfully, but not humbly:
"Allow me to express my gratitude as an ordinary person for the work of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee for giving us a better living environment. ”
Hibbert Hall was overjoyed by this sincere thank-you and replied with a smile:
"It's all a work on our part. ”
Mary smiled beside her:
"Don't mention it again, Dwayne, it would make Hibbert proud, no, I was joking, he is more modest than all the noble children I know, he should be on vacation in East Chester County at this time, going hunting with a group of friends, but he is back as soon as I send a telegram from Councillor Macht inviting us to this week's ball. ”
"There's a lot more to attend to than just the ball, and my father, Earl Hall, travels back and forth between Beckland and the family domain a lot until June. Hibbert explained earnestly.
A gentleman who values his social image...... Klein made a preliminary judgment in his heart.
When Mary heard this, she casually asked:
"What else do you have to do? When are you leaving Beckland?"
"Everything else has been taken care of, only one last thing remains, hehe, my sister Audrey is very interested in a 10% stake in the Bakerland Bicycle Company, and hired a professional team to help her negotiate, and I am responsible for coordinating this matter. Hibbert said unconcernedly.
What a coincidence that a 10% stake in the Bakerland Bicycle Company...... It has to be said that the circle of high society is not large...... Klein secretly sighed and deliberately mentioned:
"I also found a team to buy the 10% of the shares, and it was opened to 9,000 pounds, but unfortunately, this could not compete with others, so I had to give up. ”
Hibbert glanced at him in a little surprise:
"You're very discerning. ”
He did not mention what the specific offer was on his side, lest the other party participate in the competition again.
£9,000...... Mary was silent to herself, feeling that she had underestimated the financial resources of Daun Dantès.
At this moment the melody of the third dance sounded, and Hibbert Hall turned to Mary and said:
"Shall I have the pleasure of asking you to do a dance?"
"I've been waiting for your invitation. Mary immediately held out her hand.
This prevented Klein's idea of exchanging business cards directly with them, but he wasn't in a hurry, as the prom was still a long way off.
After getting another plate of food, he enjoyed it while watching the dance floor and admiring the dancing of the ladies and ladies.
In the process, he noticed that Councillor Macht and Mrs. Liana were hanging around the different guests, chatting happily with all of them, and even dancing a few times.
According to Walter, once the guest list is decided, the host must carefully summarize the preferences and experiences of each guest, and design different conversations or jokes accordingly to make everyone feel like they are being treated individually...... Interpersonal interactions in high society are really troublesome...... Hehe, that's probably why Rune's hairline is generally high......" Klein sighed as he sneered.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the empty plate, thinking seriously about whether to invite a young lady or lady to dance or eat a little more.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the figure of Hazel Macht, a young girl who was hurrying to the third floor.
