Since no one dared to interfere with His Excellency the Chancellor, the Tréville siblings proudly practiced billiards in the lounge. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as possible, she quickly mastered the tricks of swinging and power, but Fran always pretended to be ignorant, and her movements were very clumsy, so Charles could only be patient and carefully teach her, and the two of them stuck together intimately, talking and laughing, and seemed to be completely forgetful in a trance, and even felt the passage of time.

However, they lived in the real world after all, and when they reached three o'clock in the afternoon, seeing that the time could not drag on, Gaston had to interrupt the two of them and remind the Minister that he must now follow the schedule.

"Oh, it's been this time!" Charles also looked at his pocket watch in surprise, and then had to look at his sister apologetically, "I'm sorry...... That's all I have to do today......"

"It's all right, sir, it's just entertainment, and you can't afford to delay your schedule for the sake of it." Fran smiled happily because she had had had enough fun in more than two hours, "I want to thank you for being so clumsy all the time, and for being so patient in teaching me ......"

"What are these words? Isn't that what I should be? Charles smiled and shook his head, then placed the club under the table. Alright, let's go over together. ”

Then, the brother and sister came to the hall together.

After a hearty meal at lunchtime, today's guests had a good rest in the club's box to their liking, so now everyone is in good spirits, and it is no longer as cloudy as before.

This was even more true of the young Alphonse de Rothschild, who swept away his previous irritation and anger, regained his composure, and regained his usual composure, chatting and laughing in a low voice with the people next to him.

After Fran's negotiations, he had already understood that the Tréville family did not want to break with his family, and at the same time, he understood that things had not reached the point of no return, so he had already made up his mind, but was a little eager to try.

As soon as he saw the Tréville siblings appear together, he immediately stood up, and then saluted the siblings in front of everyone, as if the quarrel was just an illusion.

And he behaved like this, of course, for others to see, in order to announce to others that he had completely abandoned his former dislike with His Excellency the Minister.

Such a rapid change in his attitude disappointed those who had expected the Rothchild family to stand up and take the lead in confronting His Excellency Chancellor Treville and get a piece of the pie themselves, and they did not know what kind of compromise the two families had just made in private, so they could not help but feel uneasy.

However, no matter how uneasy they were, now that the greatest opposition had surrendered, the others no longer dared to show any disobedience to His Excellency's opinion, but greeted His Excellency with the same courtesy, and for a time the hall of the club was as lively as ever, and everyone was chatting and laughing, lest they should arouse His Excellency's suspicion.

Charles was relieved to see that his decision had finally been carried out after largely subduing the Rothschild family, and although there were certainly many people who were dissatisfied in their hearts, Charles didn't care as long as they couldn't get in the way of their actions.

While everyone was talking, the waiters cautiously walked in again, and then served wine in front of everyone, and Charles took the glass and drank it, and even Fran drank a little wine for the occasion, and her face turned a little red.

"By the way, since everyone is here today, I just have something important to inform you......" Taking advantage of the wine, Charles suddenly stood up, and then looked at the group and said loudly.

The originally noisy words gradually stopped, and all eyes converged on Charles.

Charles glanced at Fran and then gestured, and she quickly stood up.

In the eyes of everyone, the brother and sister stood side by side, and their outstanding appearance couldn't help but make people admire.

"Presumably, by now, everyone knows quite well who she is. Yes, she is my own sister, Mademoiselle de Treville. Charles pointed to Fran and then turned to everyone, "There are many people here who know her, but I think I still have to introduce her to you seriously, because you may have a lot of opportunities to deal with her in the future, so I think it would be good for everyone to get to know each other sooner......"

No one was surprised by Charles's words, and even those who did not know the inside story knew in their hearts that His Excellency Chancellor Treville had brought his sister with him, of course, just to let her visit this seemingly palatial place, but in fact it was a miasma.

"After years of hard work by the Imperial Government and all of you, we have built a huge industrial system and changed the face of the entire Empire by the railways...... Therefore, in order to strengthen the communication and coordination between the government and the railway federation, in order to improve the efficiency of work, and in order to allow the railway industry of the empire to continue to flourish at the previous speed, I decided to recommend some competent candidates to join the federation to promote the realization of these goals...... And I thought about it and finally decided on a few candidates, such as the former Minister of Railways, Count de Dielion, and one of them...... That's her. ”

Then, he deliberately emphasized again, "Of course, she is still young, so she is just doing some coordinated paperwork, and by the way, she will report to me regularly, and she will definitely not interfere with your actions, and please take care of her in the future, this young man can grow up as soon as possible......"

Although Charles's words were gentle and drizzly, they sounded heavy in the hearts of many people.

Obviously, His Excellency's so-called "improve work efficiency, strengthen communication and coordination" and so on are just excuses, and he sees that the resources at the hands of the Railway Federation are getting bigger and bigger, so he wants to send his cronies to the front and clearly join the Federation to help him control this industrial organization.

Although the Count of Dilier is a well-known good friend of His Excellency the Chancellor, he is the former Minister of Railways after all, so even if he is stuffed, it can barely be said that he can be justified, but he still has to force his sister into it, which really makes people feel that they can't laugh.

On the surface, he said that he was very relaxed and was only in charge of paperwork, but for such a large organization, daily paperwork is very important, and he also made a point of emphasizing that she would report to him regularly, which is tantamount to showing that His Excellency the Minister is determined to put a watchdog on the internal affairs of the Federation, who can monitor internal movements at any time, and he does not even bother to hide it.

However, although everyone was laughing and crying that His Excellency the Minister had given such a heavy responsibility to a young woman, if you think about it carefully, Your Excellency the Minister has no brothers, only this sister, so it does not seem particularly shocking to be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility.

Besides, even if they are not satisfied, who can go out and express their objections?

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and whether I can accept her join depends on the internal vote of the federation." The smile on Charles' face grew thicker and thicker, "Personally, I would like the vote to pass, but if it can't be passed, I can understand it...... But I would like to ask you to be sympathetic to the difficulties we are facing today and to help me through the difficult times ahead, thank you. ”

Although no one responded, he was certainly sure that no one would object to the vote here, or in the future of the Federation.

After making this announcement, it was precisely because he expressed his thoughts, Charles wasted no time, and looked at Fran again. "Come on, Miss Treville, and get to know everyone."

"Yes, sir." Fran nodded immediately.

Then she followed Charles and went up to everyone present to greet them, and the people around her hurriedly took out their business cards and handed them to Miss Tremville, fearing that they would be sloppy in the presence of His Excellency.

Because of a few glasses of wine and a little excited, Fran's face turned a little red, and her white and red skin and flowing blonde hair made her even more beautiful. When he walked up to Alphonse, the young man also stood up, and bowed gracefully to Fran.

"Miss, you are so beautiful!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Fran's face grew redder.

"Now that you know me, I don't need to give me a business card......" Alphonse still smiled, and then picked up two glasses of wine from the side, "Let's clink glasses, shall we?" ”

"Yes, sir." Although she didn't want to drink anymore, Fran took the glass anyway.

The two of them touched each other slightly, and then Fran drank half a glass in one go.

"That's good!" Alphonse raised an eyebrow, then drank it down.

In this way, with Charr by her side, Fran made her debut, and Charles made it clear in an unequivocal way that she would be his agent in the future. Some of those present felt that she was just a vase, purely for the eyes and ears of His Excellency; And some people think that she herself is not trivial, not a person who can be dealt with casually. But whatever they thought, this Mademoiselle de Treville had become the person they had to deal with carefully.

As the sun set approached, the club finally ended in the midst of the guests and hosts, and horse-drawn carriages sped out of the nondescript building.

At this time, the Tréville siblings were also about to leave, but because they had drunk a lot of wine, Fran's steps were crooked, and her body became soft.

For the sake of her sister's image, Charles had to hold her up, and she clung to Charles's side because of this, and Charles felt her whole body burn.

"Drink less in the future, it's not your specialty." When he came to the door, Charles couldn't help but persuade his sister.

"Yes, I know, sir...... I'm just so happy today......" Fran put her arm around her brother's shoulders and replied slurredly, "I'm really happy...... Really, really happy......"

"Well, I know you're happy, needless to say." Charles couldn't help but sigh, this was really a little unconscious, he quickly looked at Mary, "You take her back, take good care of her all the way." ”

"Yes, sir, leave it to me!" Mary answered.

By the time they had said this, they had already reached the front of the carriage, and Charles walked to the door of the carriage, and prepared to send her into the carriage.

But just as he was putting one foot on the pedal, Fran suddenly raised his head, and pecked him directly on the lips, completely unconcerned about the presence of others.

Then, with a flushed face, she left Charles's embrace.

"Goodbye, sir!"

Charles was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, and Mary snickered as well.

As the carriage left, Fran kept looking behind the window, waving at him until she couldn't see clearly, and Charles stood in the doorway, watching her leave.

When she was no longer seen, Charles returned to his carriage and set out on the journey home.

By the time he returned to his grand mansion, night had fallen.

As a minister, he often had to travel on business, so his family was accustomed to his irregular schedule, and every evening, dinner would be prepared at the same time, and the meal would be reheated every once in a while, so that His Excellency could enjoy a good meal when he returned.

But today, when he had just returned, and was about to go directly to the dining room, he noticed that the servant's expression seemed to be a little strange, so he stopped.

"What's wrong, what's the matter?"

"Madame is waiting for you in the dining-room, sir." The servant hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Huh? Didn't she eat first? "Charles is weird." Didn't anyone persuade her to eat first? ”

Because Charlotte would have eaten first if he hadn't been able to get back at dinner time, and he didn't want his wife to wait for him all the time - not to mention that she was pregnant, and there was no need to disrupt the meal time because of herself.

"Madame didn't eat first, she ...... She said to wait for you. The servant stopped talking.

From his expression, Charles sensed something.

"Did she lose her temper?"

"Yes, sir." The other party immediately nodded.

“…… I'm sorry. Charles sighed, "Women will have a bad temper when they are pregnant, so you should be more patient lately." ”

Perhaps because she was pregnant, Charlotte has been in a very anxious mood recently, repeatedly scolding the servants around her, making everyone nervous and even silent, and everyone is secretly looking forward to Charles's early return to make Mrs. feel better.

"Of course, sir, we all know this, and we all hope that Madame will be able to give birth sooner rather than later, so if she only reproaches us, of course we will not complain in the slightest......" The servant bowed down and said no more.

"What, it's someone else's tantrum?" Charles became more and more strange, "No...... You can't be throwing a tantrum at me, right? ”

"I dare not say that, sir." The servant's face hung even lower.

“…… Oh, I see. Charles couldn't help but sigh again.

He wanted to ask again, but found that the other party only lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

For the servant, Mr. is undoubtedly in power, but he is so busy and has no heart to take care of the housework, so the family is actually still Mrs. has the final say, if you say more, Mrs. will start a temper, who can keep him, he can remind Mr. in this way that he is already dutiful.

"Forget it, let's go over, since Madame is waiting for me, then I can't let her wait longer." After a moment of silence, Charles resumed his steps.

He soon found himself in the dining room, and sure enough, Charlotte was actually sitting there, and there were many dishes in front of her, and the utensils showed no signs of moving.

She had been pregnant for several months, and her belly was very high, but that did not detract from her beauty, and her fair cheeks seemed to shine in the candlelight.

"Charlotte! What's wrong? Charles pulled himself together, gave a gentle smile, and walked over to his wife's side. Why haven't you eaten yet? ”

"I'm waiting for you, Your Excellency." Charlotte replied angrily, "You've been wandering outside all these days, can't you just enjoy having a good meal with your wife?" ”

"I'm sorry, dear." When Charlotte said this, Charles felt a little guilty, and hurriedly walked to Charlotte's side and sat down.

These days, Charles first went to Fontainebleau, and even after he returned, he was busy everywhere for the past two days, so it was true that he had not accompanied his wife to dinner for a long time.

He took his wife's hand and kneaded it a few times flatteringly, "Now that I'm back, please forgive me." ”

"If you force you to accompany me all the time, wouldn't I be unkind?" Charlotte glared at him, "I wouldn't dare disobey you like this. ”

"Alright, Charlotte, don't say that......" His wife's cynicism made Charles a little uncomfortable, but he could only comfort him gently, "Let's eat together, don't be angry!" It's true that I haven't been able to stay with you for a while, but I'm not so busy for a while, and I'm going to stay with you until another of our children is born......"

"I'm not angry." Under Charles's caress and persuasion, Charlotte finally lost a lot of anger, after all, she just missed her husband too much, so she was resentful, "I just don't understand some things, so I just want to ask you-"

"What's the matter?" Charles's heart sank, but his hands didn't stop.

"Why did you want her to be a director without mentioning it to me beforehand?" Charlotte turned her head, even with a straight face, her face was so beautiful, but her tone was very unkind, "I understand the reason, but don't we have anyone to trust around us?" Even if my father goes out of the mountain, he is better than her, right? Why does it have to be her? Why didn't you ask me first?! ”
