If it had been someone else's promise, Jonas certainly wouldn't have taken it seriously.

But the person in front of him was the future Emperor, and Jonas was still a little excited in his heart.

However, his expression became calmer.

It's a semi-circular dining table with an inside window, and it's just right for five people to sit.

Lyudmila leaned against the window, the Great diagonally opposite Jonas, flanked by two bodyguards.

Prov is also familiar with Li Taibai, and has already ordered the meal, and Jonas and they sat down and soon began to serve the food.

At the dinner table, where everyone was limited to small talk, Jonas introduced some of the surrounding attractions for them to visit tomorrow.

Since there is a game tomorrow afternoon, Jonas does not have the self-consciousness to be a tour guide.

At least the current emperor is worth wooing, but it is definitely not worth being courteous.

If you are too attentive, it will only look abnormal.

By the time I was full, it was already completely dark.

The dim streetlights of the old streets, the gurgling water of the Reuss River, and the click of stepping on the frozen snow slag fill the environment with a sense of charm.

Jonas and the Great, tall and short, walked down the street, and the two bodyguards and Lyymilla walked behind them, deliberately leaving room for them to talk.

The Emperor was a man of few words, and Jonas took the initiative to pick out the topic. "Director of the 'Soviet-German Friendship House', what position is this?"

"It was equivalent to a propaganda department between the Soviet Union and East Germany, responsible for resolving the contradictions between the two peoples. ”

Jonas knew that not only that, but that in later generations, what the Emperor had done during his five years in Dresden was exposed.

He was in Dresden, and in fact he was working in "economics".

Of course, Jonas would not pick on this, but only pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Then why are you interested in the movements of the Western European shareholders in Gonwall?"

The Emperor smiled: "I also got a degree in economics in college, and I am personally interested in some economic trends. ”

Jonas pretended to believe it and said, "My father used to be a shareholder of Gunwall, so there is indeed a lot of information about other shareholders, some of which can even be called confidential. However, I don't think that mere interest will make me come up with this information. ”

The Emperor was silent for a moment and said, "It's just an interest, if it's not convenient, I won't force it." ”

If you really don't care, why bother from Dresden to Switzerland?

In this era, it is not so easy to apply for a visa to come to Switzerland.

Jonas smiled: "I'm not interested in politics, but in this era, as soon as people are born, they are already destined for the position and trajectory of fate. I'm very glad that I was born in Switzerland, a country that allows me to be neutral and not biased or on any side. ”

Jonas's words have two meanings, on the one hand, pointing out that the Emperor came with a position, and on the other hand, pointing out that he has no political preferences.

The Emperor apparently understood, and followed Jonas for a few steps before he said, "It's rare to see a pure merchant like you. ”

This was clearly not believing Jonas's words. A big businessman, if he is not involved in politics, is simply impossible to form a huge influence.

The reason why Jonas is so unworldly now is mainly because of the political capital left to him by the Hoffman family.

For example, Lucas Hoffman, who is Jonas's grandfather Philip, is actually a member of the Christian Democratic Party and one of the big donors.

And Rich's interest group has a lot of support in Switzerland, and it has close ties with most of the parties.

So, Jonas's words are just a matter of attitude, not the essence of the matter at all.

As if he felt that his tone was a little impulsive, he said remedyly: "Maybe you are still too young now, politics is like air, and everyone can't do without it." ”

Jonas laughs: "I've always had a good impression of the Eastern bloc, especially the country in the Far East, and I fell in love with it when I visited this summer. ”

"My country also has a lot of beautiful places, of course, unlike Switzerland, which is like a big park. …… I mean, my home country also has scenery to see. ”

Jonas nodded. "I would have taken a look at it when I had the chance, and if it weren't for the fact that your country has too many restrictions on foreign investment, I would have even considered investment. ”

The Emperor glanced at Jonas and invited: "Although our country's restrictions on foreign investment are large, it will also protect legitimate investment, and you are welcome to have a chance to take a look." ”

The current emperor is still just a low-level official. Even if he was allowed to daydream on his own, he would not dare to imagine that he would rule that vast empire for twenty years in the future.

His career began six years later, and Jonas did not dare to get too involved with him, for fear of breaking the course of future history.

Moreover, the oligarchs of the USSR also gradually swelled at the time of the collapse of the USSR, and it is not yet the most opportune time.

So, Jonas was not in a hurry.

All he has to do now is to make a good impression on the other party, a conscientious businessman, someone to work with.

Jonas put his hands in his trouser pockets, tilted his head to look at the Emperor, and said: "I have several of my current personal bodyguards, Prov is from the Soviet Union, Kalisler is from East Germany, and there is also a Kaiya Yang, who also has Eastern blood. This is enough to prove that I am not biased against the East. ”

"I absolutely believe in this, so after hearing about Plov, I decided to make a trip to Switzerland. ”

Jonas laughed, "I can let you not run for nothing, but I need a commitment." ”

The Emperor's footsteps slowed slightly. "Speak. ”

"I need the friendship of the KGB, as well as equal treatment in the future to enter the Soviet market. ”

He hesitated for a moment and said frankly: "I am just the director of an external office, an insignificant official......"

Jonas laughed, "I'm just making friends, and I'm not going to make things difficult for my friends." ”

As a spy, the Emperor naturally wouldn't trust others so easily. However, the kindness shown by Jonas was accepted by him.

"I can only make a friend commitment within my personal ability. ”

He admits that he doesn't know how much weight his words will carry in the future.

Jonas stretched out his hand and smiled, "Tomorrow I will send someone to send you the information you need." ”

As we enter November, the nights in Switzerland get longer and longer, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In Switzerland, there is no entertainment, and in the evenings, most people stay in their rooms and spend long nights.

When Jonas returned home, Neuer and her mother came over, and they were chatting around Plov's two children in the living room on the third floor.

Neuer was playing chess with Helen and looked like he was going to lose, but when he saw Jonas come back, he pushed the board and stopped playing.

An angry Helen pounced on her and grabbed her with a burst of limbs.

In front of Jonas, Neuer likes to play the image of a weakling, holding Jonas as a shield to block Helen's attacks.

Jonas, of course, would satisfy her little girl's vanity and stopped Helen with open arms. "Don't bully Neuer. ”

Helen puffed out her lips and rolled her eyes. "You're my brother. ”

Neuer poked his head out from behind Jonas and said defiantly: "Jonas is also my brother and my future husband. ”

Hanlon was not to be outdone by her. "Not yet!"

Seeing that they were going to quarrel again, Jonas hurriedly persuaded, "Okay, a big meal." ”

Helen did not follow. "Two meals. ”

Jonas laughed, "That's just to wait until next week to make up for it." ”

Helen smirked. "I'm going to eat lo mein. ”

Neuer lay on Jonas's back and coquettishly said, "I want to eat Coke chicken wings." ”

"Good, good, all satisfied. ”

Everyone laughed, and Hannah said, "Jonas, don't spoil them too much. The next time you are disobedient, you will be honest with two slaps per person. ”

"My sister is the one to spoil ......," Jonas glanced at the smirking Joseph. "My brother is what he used to fight. ”

Neuer asked, "What about me?"

Helen rolled her eyes and said, "You scoundrel, let's talk about it when you marry into our family!"

This sentence caused everyone to smile ambiguously, which made Neuer extremely shy, lying on Jonas's back and refusing to come out.

Not to mention, it's a nice feeling to be completely dependent.

Neuer's mother, Teed, beckoned to Jonas at the window on the north side, and Jonas took Neuer's hand and came to her. "Aunt Tede, good evening. ”

Teed smiled and said, "Jonas, starting next Saturday, I will hold a three-day exhibition of oil paintings in the Lucerne Museum's oil painting hall, and I hope you can participate." ”

Jonas pretended to be excited and said, "Really, congratulations, Aunt Teed, I'll be going to visit." ”

Teed smiled and said, "I invite you to go, but please don't spend money on my paintings." I only want my paintings to belong to those who appreciate my paintings. ”

Jonas glanced at Neuer and said with a smile: "If you say that, I must buy a few more." ”

Although it is flattering, Teed is still very happy, and people who engage in art are often more sincere in their emotions.

She said happily: "Actually, I am ready to draw a series of paintings with you and Neuer as models, but I haven't thought of a theme yet. ”

Teed was not a genius painter, but he had a solid foundation in painting and a delicate brushstroke.

Her words may not have a profound artistic conception, but everyone will sincerely admire her paintings as if they were pictures.

But this kind of painting is not favored by the market at all. Most critics think that the painting is too real and lacks spirituality.

However, Teed doesn't care about the money from selling paintings, she follows her own temperament, she paints whenever she wants, and only paints what she likes.

Jonas thought for a moment and said, "For me, the most perfect love is from love at first sight to falling in love with each other, and finally to old age. For me, the most perfect lover is able to play three different roles......"

Neuer, who was holding Jonas's arm, couldn't wait to ask, "Which three characters?"

Jonas touched her head and smiled, "Naughty daughter, virtuous wife, tolerant mother." ”

Neuer was a little embarrassed, and sat down beside Ted with some squirming, and said, "I will learn to be a virtuous wife and a tolerant mother." ”

Hannah looked at her like this and smiled like a flower. "Men are always children who don't grow up, and when they are outside, they need the adoring eyes of women, but at home, they need women's encouragement and comfort.

Neuer, you have to remember that no matter when, no matter how much you love a man, but don't lose yourself. Losing yourself means losing the most precious value of your existence. ”

Jonas was a little embarrassed, this kind of woman occupied most of the occasion is really not suitable for a long time, like Yankel, who has long since disappeared.

He nodded to Teed and said, "I still haven't completed my study task today, please forgive me for being out of company for a while." ”

With Nicole caught in the middle, Jonas doesn't want to give up, and now that she's pregnant again, it's sure to be haunted forever.

Faced with Teed and Neuer, Jonas felt a little guilty.

However, he didn't want to change all that. Switzerland is a Catholic country, and unlike Protestantism, abortion is considered the worst form of the crime, just like murder.

Although abortion will not be severely punished by law, it will be subject to the most severe moral condemnation.

In contrast, illegitimate children are more socially tolerant.

Teed shook his head and said, "Jonas, enjoying life itself is actually very meaningful. We need to have a purpose in life, but we should not ignore the scenery of life. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Tead, I will remember your words. ”

As Jonas was about to leave, Hannah stopped him again. "Jonas, the Count of Loire has not been in good health since the winter. ”

Jonas looked at her, and although he didn't understand what she meant, he said, "Then I'll go see him tomorrow morning." ”

Hannah said, "Helen, they have moved back in, and you are going to get married, and I am considering whether or not to buy the Château de Loire." ”

The Comte de Loire was a descendant of French aristocracy and went into exile in Switzerland during the Napoleonic period.

At the beginning, the family was relatively prosperous, and built a four-storey white Gothic castle on the shores of Lake Lucerne.

In his previous life, Jonas was killed in a car accident when he visited the castle that was renamed Megan, and the crossing became Jonas.

Hearing Hannah say this, he also felt that he seemed to have a relationship with this ancient castle.

This kind of thing has happened, and he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but now he has a little superstition.

After a deep sigh, he nodded and said, "Let's buy it and redecorate it again, and I can move in later." ”

What girl doesn't have a castle dream, a princess dream?

When Neuer heard this, the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed.

When Hannah saw that Jonas agreed, she smiled and said, "Since you also agree, then I will go with you tomorrow and talk to the Count of Loire." ”
