Chapter 166: The Meaning of Nonsense
The applause at the scene rang out in applause, and Lisa seemed to be used to this kind ......of scene. She smiled reservedly, and walked slowly towards the bearded man with a gentle step.
saw Lisa gently make a ladylike salute to the man, and then took his hand and gently opened his lips to everyone: "Thank you!" Thank you very much Uncle Galbion for inviting me here, I am very honored to be here at Cadillac and even more honored to be here to meet you all here. ”
Lisa, standing on the steps, is so radiant. Hou Dasheng lowered his head and silently observed the situation around him. He disappeared into the crowd, silent like a wolf hiding in the shadows.
In the silence, Hou Dasheng noticed a few people. There were two men carrying trays of wine to the crowd, and he looked to be in his twenties. Dressed in a waiter's white shirt and bow tie.
His hair was combed shiny, and he smiled and brought drinks to a group of men and women in evening gowns, tuxedos and suits. But Hou Dasheng noticed that his fingers holding the tray were noticeably rougher.
And his left shoulder, obviously, is also slightly protruding. He has calluses on his mouth. There was a hint of vigilance in his smiling expression. Hou Dasheng could see that he was the same kind as himself.
Yes, the man quietly nodded to Hou Dasheng while serving the wine. Hou Dasheng didn't speak, but quietly gestured with his finger on his waist. The convenience was quietly withdrawn, and he completed his work like a waiter.
The other was the bartender at the bar. With a smile, he bartended to everyone. And put glasses of champagne and cocktails on the bar. From time to time, a customer would sit on a high chair in front of the bar, and he would just gently ask what he needed.
Hou Dasheng could see that these two people should be the guards in the dark in this house. What they are responsible for is what they can do with their hidden identity in the event of an emergency.
In this respect, Cadillac is cautious. Caution made Hou Dasheng feel frightened. He believed that there were definitely more than these two guards in the shadows in the big house. Since there are two, there can be more.
Hou Dasheng stayed quietly in the corner, even if he had not worked as a security guard, he knew it. He shouldn't have been there too much at this time. Oyo is more familiar with this kind of occasion than he is, and he also knows how to deal with some situations.
"Hahaha...... Lisa, can I have the pleasure of inviting you to your first dance? Finally, when Hou Dasheng finished his polite words that he felt dull and boring, Galbien smiled and stretched out his hand to Lisa.
In this case, Lisa will naturally not refuse. Seeing her smile and stretch out her hand, the symphony orchestra in the hall immediately began to play "Breeze Waltz". Beginning with Lisa and Galbien, a waltz began to dance in the hall.
Hou Dasheng actually wants to yawn now, the dance party is really boring for him. Desperately bored, he began to observe the men and women at the ball.
After just a few glances, he smiled. These people, who seem to be so happy, actually have their own thoughts. A noble lady holding a male guest seems to be so dignified and elegant.
But Hou Dasheng noticed that the look in her eyes was different when she glanced at a man who was smoking a cigar. That kind of look, Hou Dasheng can easily read it. Obviously, she had an unusual relationship with the cigar-smoking man.
And a few lady-looking women at the bar seemed to sweep the audience casually. But Hou Dasheng clearly understood what they meant, they were looking for prey. As for what kind of prey......
After a polite half-dance, Galbien let go of Lisa's hand. Hou Dasheng followed quietly, without a trace of life and without attracting any attention, Hou Dasheng quietly stood behind Lisa.
"Let's go to the study and talk......" Galbien said indifferently. Lisa smiled and nodded. Clement came out of nowhere at this time, and quietly led the way for everyone.
Hou Dasheng noticed that their chatting figures were blocked by several black-clothed men with their bodies. Clemand led the group quietly through a long corridor and out of the hall where the ball was held.
Turning left and right in the corridor, Clément stopped in front of a double-opening gate. The man in black who was guarding the gate immediately opened the heavy solid wood gate.
This study is more of a hall than a study. But I saw that in this study, a large soft carpet was laid. On the carpet is a large European-style marble coffee table with refreshments and English black tea.
On top of the coffee table, there is a huge crystal chandelier. In front of the coffee table is a long bar counter. Behind the bar is a wine cabinet filled with a wide variety of liquors. The spotlights hit the wine cabinet and it looked magnificent.
Behind the coffee table, there is a European-style leather sofa. On the side of the sofa is a large desk. Behind the desk, behind the boss's chair, are the curtains that are pulled up.
Behind the sofa, Hou Dasheng finally found the traces of the "study". There was a huge bookcase with a large number of books neatly placed in it. Beneath the bookcase is a luxurious chaise longue.
"You're all hungry, aren't you?! Come on, come on...... Let's have some refreshments first. Galbion smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Lisa: "I'm sorry, but I can't entertain you directly." I need to tell someone that I've met with the princess of House Siliaux. So, for now, I can only grieve you. ”
Lisa smiled and nodded in understanding: "So this is the reason why we came, since we both decided to cooperate." Then we naturally need to stand up for our allies, just as you do for us. ”
Hou Dasheng smiled slightly in his heart, Lisa's words were hidden in the needle. It may seem like saying that we should come and stand for you, but in fact it is showing that since we are allies, we are also standing up for you. So as an ally, should you give something?!
"Hahaha...... Thank you so much! But seeing Galbion's hearty smile, he said, "Among today's guests, there are several regional councillors. At the same time, the Speaker of the Region is here, and I am sure they will be very happy to know such a beautiful elf of yours. ”
"Thank you very much!" Lisa smiled as always. Hou Dasheng, who was silent, also heard the meaning of Galbion's words: I let you come, naturally it is impossible to come in vain.
First of all, I appeared with you, and this is already a demonstration of my alliance with you. Second, I'm going to take you to see what I'm all about. Several regional councillors, one regional speaker.
No one's territory can be opened all at once, but a few councillors and a regional council president are enough for Lisa to make the trip. I believe they will know how to choose when voting.
"My brother told me before I came that he was talking to Mr. Speaker about the expansion of the MP." Lisa smiled and said, "The Speaker said that more young talents will have a positive impact on the country when they join the Congress. ”
"France needs the participation of talented young people so that it can make the country richer and stronger......"
In the piles of official words and clichés, Hou Dasheng easily found what they really wanted to express. For example, Lisa's passage means to tell Galbion: Don't worry, we're already working on things.
If you give me what I want, then I will naturally give you what you want. Galbion smiled heartily: "Hahaha...... Miss Lisa, you are so polite, and we haven't seen each other for some years. ”
"Yes, since my father died unexpectedly. We had a little less contact, after all, my brother had to support everything in the family first, and I was too young. I wanted to visit, but I couldn't find the right opportunity......"
The two sides chatted with each other, and from time to time Lisa would pick up the teacup in front of her and take a sip of black tea with sugar and milk. Otto dutifully stood by Lisa's side, adding sugar and milk to her teacup to her taste.
In the room, the only ones left were Otto, Hou Dasheng and Clément. None of the three said a word, they all bowed their heads. On this occasion, they can't get involved in this kind of thing.
The conversation lasted for about 40 minutes, and finally the two sides completed all the exchange of information in the process of testing and pulling each other apart. Then Bill Garn walked out of the study with Lisa and returned to the hall.
Hou Dasheng and Otto were still following, watching Lisa keep going back and forth with the balding old men. In a bunch of empty words, clichés and polite words, express your own situation. At the same time, get the message that the other person wants to say.
"Fack! Politics is a real trick. Hou Dasheng rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and simply didn't care what Lisa was talking about. It didn't have anything to do with him anyway, he just had to protect Lisa.
But for now, he didn't think the security would be overwhelming. The dance lasted for three hours, and the crowd dispersed. Hou Dasheng noticed that the man held by the noble lady had been replaced.
And the man who had previously appeared to be her husband is nowhere to be found. Hou Dasheng smiled, Europe is really a cheating region. But he didn't say anything, just accompanied Lisa, who was tired but still smiling, to see off the guests.
Hou Dasheng read from the eyes of many "young talents" about their greed and desire for Lisa. Even many "young talents" came over and tried to talk to Lisa, but unfortunately Lisa politely refused.
Of course, there were also attempts to ask Lisa to go outside. But it was still rejected. From beginning to end, Hou Dasheng watched. Lisa smiled and rejected the men, while Otto easily told them that some ideas were best swallowed. (To be continued.) )
