As the sun sets, the light is dim, and the lights in the living room shine brightly, illuminating the huge room as bright as day.

As time passed, more and more guests walked into the hall from outside the manor, and almost every time someone entered, the middle-aged fat man Leon would introduce Fang Yan to Fang Yan with information about that person, including name and occupation. Through Leon's words, Fang Yan quickly had a general impression of the guests present, although the purpose of his coming here today was only to make up for it, he still felt that he had gained quite a lot of useful information.

Seeing that Fang Yan nodded frequently and listened quite seriously, Leon couldn't help but be a little interested, and talked eloquently beside him: "Little Yonas, although you want to go to the navy to pursue a warrior-like adventure, how can you have a share of the Brom family's property; Building a good relationship with these guys is definitely beneficial for you and your family. For example, Mr. William, the protagonist of today, is a prime example. He also served in the army for a long time in his early years, and was discharged from the army at the age of 40 due to injuries; Because of his military service, he only inherited a family property of tens of thousands of marks, which was not very rich at all. However, based on the friendships he forged with important figures in the military and business circles during his service, the company he founded grew rapidly, capturing more than 70% of Germany's textile market in less than 30 years. ”

"This Mr. William is truly remarkable." Fang Yan said with admiration from the bottom of his heart. After a few years in a bourgeois family, he already had a considerable understanding of the German business model: compared to the unique civilization of the later Celestial Empire, where human favor was everything, the German spirit of contract and quality was carried out everywhere, and human communication was at most a door and window to create opportunities. The other party can achieve this achievement, more based on their own brains and strength. Leon nodded, and was about to add something again, when the lights suddenly lit up on the central platform; He paused slightly, and then changed his words: "Look, Mr. William will appear soon." ”

At 7 p.m., the banquet officially began. An old man with white hair walked slowly to the center of the platform in front of everyone's attention, and immediately gave a message of gratitude to the guests. And with the old man, there was also a tall figure in purple. Fang Yan, who was quite close, looked at it intently, and felt that his eyes lit up: the woman was at the age of twenty-four or five-year-old peony blooming, and her delicate face did not have the slightest flaw; And in her clever smile, there is an irresistible softness that goes straight to the bottom of people's hearts, making every man who sees her soft and crisp, and he can't wait to take this tender and plump stunning fairy into his arms and love it wantonly.

Rao is Fang Yan had just experienced Sylvia's stunning beauty in the past summer, and at this time, he still couldn't help but linger on her delicate and charming face, and his heartbeat accelerated. He suddenly controlled his mind and turned his head to look around. Sure enough, many people turned their attention to the young woman in purple beside the old man. However, what surprised Fang Yan was that there was not as obsessive fanaticism in their eyes as he imagined, some were just ordinary blandness, and even a little contempt.

"Uncle Leon, who is this beautiful lady standing next to Mr. William?" Fang Yan asked with some confusion. Leon took a deep breath, his eyes showed a mixture of intoxication, regret, and contempt, and said in a low voice: "Little Jonas, I know that you are now at the age of vigorous blood, and you have no resistance to charming women, but I advise you not to fight her idea." Because this is a prodigal silver flower that I don't know how many people have picked. Her name is Lina, the niece of Mr. William, who married a young aristocratic officer 7 years ago, and only a year later her husband was killed in the battle on the Western Front. made her a widow who lived alone. And after that, she completely turned into a bewitching young woman with a debauched private life. ”

Leon lowered his voice and said, "In the years after the war, there were at least twenty people who had an affair with her, including a young boy who was only 12 years old. Although her misdeeds were well known in the upper echelons, it was only on the surface that Mr. William had no heirs and that his large family business was likely to be passed on to her business-minded niece. Yes, I must admit that she has excellent talents in the field of social and business, not much less than the presidents of some of the biggest domestic ones; Mr. William's family business was inherited by her, which could be regarded as an ideal home. ”

Fang Yan frowned when he heard this, and the slight good impression he had for the stunning appearance of the young woman in red in his heart quickly faded, he didn't expect that Germany, which was famous for its rigor and rigidity, would also have such a deviant and alternative existence. If he really intersects with the other side, it will undoubtedly be very unfavorable to his future military career -- in the German military circles, which attach great importance to honor and personal morality, the private life of an officer will also have a direct impact on his personal future and destiny. Fang Yan clearly remembered that Heydrich, who had steadily entered the naval officer corps with a total of only 1,500 people at the age of 24 with the rank of lieutenant and was like a new star of the Young Zhuang faction, was directly expelled from the navy because he was engaged and lived in love with another woman, causing all his efforts in the past 8 years to be in vain. And the future Minister of Defense Blomburg, with the respect of a marshal, also resigned because his newlywed young wife had a professional history. Whether it is from the perspective of his future career or his own personal feelings, Fang Yan does not want to be the guest of the young woman in red.

However, things don't always turn out satisfactorily. Just as Fang Yan withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at her, Linna, who was scanning the audience, inadvertently suddenly found the young man sitting next to the stage. Her delicate body shook suddenly, and the brilliant blue star pupils bloomed with unprecedented brilliance, and there was consternation, ecstasy, and a hint of imperceptible touch and throbbing in her expression. The corners of Linna's beautiful mouth gradually hooked, and finally formed a coquettish smile that eclipsed the main crystal chandelier in the center of the ballroom. When Old William finished his speech and the dinner party entered the dancing session with the music played by the band, Lina picked up a crystal glass full of high-end red wine and walked straight towards Fang Yan with elegant steps.

"Damn, why didn't this woman who was going to inherit the family business greet the guests who had a lot of resources and wealth in her hands first, and just came to me?" Seeing this situation, Fang Yan's face twitched, and he couldn't help but curse loudly in his heart. Fang Yan really didn't have much interest in the beauty of the young woman in red Linna's alluring beauty in the eyes of others, after all, he had just spent the entire summer vacation with Sylvia, and he had already had a far more resistant to this than ordinary people. At this moment, Linna's gaze was completely fixed on Fang Yan's body, and Fang Yan, who witnessed all this, obviously couldn't choose to turn a blind eye and turn around and walk away with extreme rudeness; He could only cast a pleading gaze at Leon beside him, hoping to let the old friend's old friend help him resist for some time.

"Ms. Lina, we meet again, and sure enough, wherever you appear, you will be the most high-profile star." Seeing Fang Yan's eager eyes, Leon understood, and immediately took the first step to greet Linna, his expression and movements showed his cultivation and identity as an upper-class celebrity. As for Leon, who holds a large number of shares in the supergiant United Steel, Lina did not dare to make the slightest support, she could only talk and laugh with the middle-aged man in front of her in a coquettish smile, as if she was an old friend who had known her for many years. Taking advantage of the short time that Leon was carrying the damage for himself, Fang Yan immediately performed his own urine escape technique; He retreated in three steps and two steps, quickly disappearing into the hallway leading to the bathroom.

Seeing Fang Yan turn around and leave, a trace of anxiety flashed in Linna's beautiful eyes, and she was about to find an excuse to end the conversation with Leon and chase after her; However, when the corner of her eye was aimed at the target and stepped into the corridor, she suddenly let go of her hanging heart, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more intense. In the process of impromptu conversation and toast with Leon, Linna, who was already confident, quietly flashed a trace of pride, and said leisurely: "This is obviously not the son of the fat Leon. I don't know whose little slippery head it is, do you think you can escape from my palm? ”

The light was soft, the mirror was shining, and Fang Yan stood in front of the sink and carefully sorted out his grooming and dressing, so as to pass the boring time when he was temporarily avoiding here. His every movement is extremely detailed, which greatly extends the time required for the whole process. In the patient waiting, half an hour gradually passed. Fang Yan, who was bored, couldn't help but secretly speculate that as the young woman in red, Linna, she should have been surrounded by a crowd of guests by now, and she didn't have time to take care of her side, right?

"The woman should have left." Fang Yan muttered to himself. He exhaled, pushed open the door and returned to the hallway. The light music that lingered in his ears suddenly became clear, and Fang Yan's mood became a little soothed. Turning a corner, the main banquet hall suddenly opened up, and the golden and crowded main banquet hall reappeared in Fang Yan's sight. Before he could come to his senses, a tall figure as pale purple and graceful as an elf had already walked to Fang Yan from the side of Shi Shiran from close range, accompanied by a fragrant fragrance like August Cinnamon.
