Chapter 146: And the Confession
γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
After listening to Charles's words, Lola fell into a deep groan.
Although she didn't like this young man, she felt that what the other party said made some sense. A hidden monopoly is better than a blatant outright exclusion.
"You mean, you want to create a consortium between enterprises, and then this consortium will monopolize it?" After a moment, she finally looked up at Charles, "I can go back and talk to my father, but only on condition that we take the lead." β
There is no doubt that although this railway federation is an exclusive corporate organization, there must be more than one company that can participate in it, and Lola certainly wants to seek the most advantageous position for her family.
"The main position? Your ambitions are big. Charles shrugged his shoulders and placed the stool in his hand on the ground, "But I must tell you, I treat every friend the same and don't give too much preference to one over the other." If you want to dominate, do your best to get it, I can only offer a ticket, and as for how you perform in it, that's your own business. β
"That's not the answer that makes my dad happy." Lola replied quietly, "We don't like fair play, especially when there are shortcuts. β
"There will always be shortcuts." Charles was silent for a moment, and finally said helplessly, "I have found someone to be the first president of the future federation, and he should be able to help you achieve your goals." β
Has it come to this point? Lola was taken aback again.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Of course, the most suitable person is the one we have now, Your Excellency the Minister of Railways." Charles smiled, "I robbed him of his place, and I have to give him a little compensation." He has a high reputation in the industry in recent years. It is right to be the chairman, and he is now obedient to me, if he becomes the chairman, you ...... You can get his help to seize dominance in a less obvious way. Although he can't always be the chairman. But in the intervening years of his life, I believe you will be able to establish yourself in it. β
"I see...... I see......" Lola finally understood what the other party was planning.
It's really treacherous, if I hadn't taken out my father to force him, in the end he wouldn't have shown his hole cards, but wanted to wait and see, right?
Thinking of this, Lola couldn't help but sneer, "Then this earl is really pitiful, you have to work for you after you rob him of his position." β
"That can't be said, Miss de Beauwon." Charles suddenly remembered the scene at the Earl's Court. Immediately felt a little embarrassed, "Young people replace seniors, this is just a natural replacement, in this turbulent situation he can be a minister for a few years, it is already very valuable." Besides, I have given him this position, but I have taken great care of him, and I believe that he will be able to profit greatly from it. β
Matilda reconciled in it. It must have been hard. Lola asked suddenly, her eyes full of ill-intentioned teasing. She's probably the least likely person in the world to want you and the Count to have a conflict or quarrel. β
"It's okay. After all, it's something that benefits both parties. After feeling the other party's malice, Charles couldn't help but become more and more embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic. Miss de Beauvan, now that I have told you all my plans, we will need to rely on your family for help. β
"There is no doubt about it, since our friendship with you makes us profitable. We naturally hope that this friendship will last. Lola replied without hesitation, "Mr. Treville, my father wants me to tell you that for every kid we earn on the railroad, you'll have a share. β
"In fact, it's not me who needs your care more." Charles lifted his finger slightly, pointing at Fran, who was standing nearby, "It's her." β
"She?" Lola's eyes widened slightly, not understanding what Charles meant.
"Hmm...... I want her to be a part of the board, in some less spectacular way, of course. Charles nodded, "My sister is very young, and she hasn't done much of this before, so she's very inexperienced, and she'll rely on you to take care of her in the future." You think that only when we work together can we get common benefits......"
Charles was sincere, but he also made it clear that he wanted his sister to be involved as a surrogate, and that he would do his best to help Lola only after his family had been compensated enough.
Lola, of course, could hear him, and she didn't answer for a moment, just frowned slightly, and turned to look at Fran.
Fran, who had been silent, smiled very brightly when the two of them looked at each other, as if asking each other to take care of them in the future.
Again.
You were able to face me so innocently, as if you were so holy that you didn't know anything...... A surge of anger poured out of her heart. The shame that the other party brought to her before, she can never forget.
But this anger comes not so much from the previous shame as from jealousy.
Why can you have such a family, such a brother, but I can't?
It took a lot of effort for Lola not to let her resentment come to light obviously. She knew that now was not the time to tear up her face with the family.
"I will do my best to help your sister, sir." She said in a tone of extreme calm.
"Thank you then." Charles spread his hand, "I think that although there are still many obstacles ahead, as long as the two of us work closely together, everything will go a lot smoother." β
However, Lola still didn't stretch out her hand.
"Miss de Beauwon, I hope we can forget the unpleasantness of the past." Charles stared at each other with a sneer, then said calmly. "There are some things, let it pass."
This calm, which seems to contain great power, seems to be rejected by no one. Even Lola, for a moment, seemed to be convinced, and stretched out her hand.
But she quickly came to her senses, and immediately withdrew her hand.
"The past will eventually leave a mark on our hearts, sir." She glanced at the other party blandly. "We can look forward, but we will still remember the past."
"If you have to remember, I can't help it." Charles shrugged helplessly, "I hope this doesn't affect our cooperation." β
"No, of course not, I'm very clear, and I won't be emotional, sir." Lola replied categorically.
Fran looked at the two men with some confusion, she always felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in the words between the two people. And not just talking about the festivals between himself and Lola before.
Lola didn't plan to talk to the siblings anymore.
"Looks like there's nothing more to tell me here, right?"
"Well, not at the moment, I hope you can get along with my sister in the future, after all, you will be colleagues." Seeing that the other party insisted on leaving, Charles didn't plan to force him to stay, but just gave another instruct.
Lola didn't realize it, she turned and left.
The charr didn't say anything. Fran hesitated for a moment before chasing after Lola when she reached the vestibule. She finally caught up with the other party. "Mademoiselle de Beauwon?"
Lola heard the greeting and stopped. "What's the matter?"
"We'll be colleagues from now on, so I'd like to come and say hello to you." Fran walked up to the other step by step, "What happened before, it seems that both of us were at fault, but it's all in the past, isn't it?" Why do you have to hold a grudge until now? You've got what you wanted...... All right. If you have to apologize, I can apologize to you because I don't want the past to affect the future. β
"It's so rare that you would apologize to me." Lola was slightly surprised, "But." No, there is no point in talking about this now. β
"I really want to do this job well, and I'm willing to do anything for it, even if I apologize to you......" Fran looked at the other party with a rare serious expression, "I finally got the result I got today, my brother forgave me, accepted me now, is willing to forgive my mistakes, and is willing to treat me as before...... So, in order for this situation to continue, I must do what he told me, and no one can destroy my career, you know, no one can ...... I think you know the weight of my words. β
Lola looked at the other party quietly, listening to her say her thoughts, and it could be seen that she was very serious, even terrifyingly serious.
"Your love is really worthy of admiration." After a moment, she sighed. "Sometimes it's me who really doesn't deserve to be so infatuated with you."
"I was just going to say that you can't be so rude to my brother, Miss de Beauwon." Fran frowned and looked at the other party, "I love him and I respect him, and I don't want to see you speak ill of him." β
"Bad words? Did I speak ill of him? Lola suddenly sneered, "I'm just telling the truth." β
She suddenly made a decision to give this overly happy child a taste of pain. Even if the price is to uncover the deepest scars in your heart again.
"That day, you went crazy and threatened me, and I couldn't think about it, so I had to meet him, talk to him, and ask for his help. Do you want to know what he did to me at the time? Lola's tone suddenly had something inexplicable, "He raped me, ignored my resistance, and took advantage of others." β
"What......" Fran's face turned pale in an instant.
"Didn't I say it clearly enough? Mary, Matilda, and me...... yes, he's a complete whoop who toyed with us all and was smug about it! Lola squinted at her with a sneer, "It seems that you are the only one left." I should congratulate you on your luck, right? β
