Chapter Twenty-Three: The Magical Society
Chongyang played the piano and soon devoted himself to it, intoxicated by the music, and completely forgot about himself.
During this time, too many things have happened, and he has accumulated a lot of emotions, and at this time, through the piano and music, he vented intensely and freely.
Under the dark sky, a silver moon hangs high, and the waves below are rolling, turbulent and boundless.
The clouds closed and the tornado storm swept up, raging wildly between the sea and the sky, as if it were about to tear the ocean and break the sky.
I don't know how long later, the clouds and rain stopped, the storm gradually subsided, the sea returned to calm, and the sky was clear again. The beautiful and gentle moonlight once again spreads over the endless ocean, giving people a feeling of great peace and tranquility.
......
The end of the song.
There was crisp applause from behind.
Chongyang looked back and saw a mature and elegant woman wearing silver-rimmed glasses, clapping enthusiastically.
She was wearing a short-sleeved tight-fitting robe and a blue long-sleeved jacket, with a curvaceous figure and a soft and beautiful face. is not a woman who makes people shine at a glance, but if you look at it for a long time, you will be attracted by her unique temperament with a hint of sexy taste in her quiet and intellectual.
"Wonderful! Although the technique is a little rough, it is full of emotion, and it is a soulful performance!" said the woman, whose cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, enthusiastically praised.
It's nice to be appreciated by beautiful women, but ......
Who are you?
Chongyang stared at her face and asked the question with a silent gaze.
"Ah...... Sorry, because the door is not closed. She finally reacted and stopped applauding, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, "I'm embarrassed to come in without permission, may I ask, are you Chongyang @ Mr. Bright?"
Chongyang nodded.
"I'm Helen @ Ika Brown, the head of the Ninth Division of the Scroll Section of the Magic Society, and my position is the Grand Assistant. The beautiful woman smiled, "From today onwards, that is, your subordinates, your secretaries." ”
......
The Magic Association, if you want to give it an accurate definition in the simplest way, it should be the so-called "multinational conglomerate" similar to Chongyang's previous life.
It deeply penetrates all countries on the mainland, and seeks organizational interests in the balance of power games with various parts of the mainland. In the long history, there have been several ups and downs, and in the most declining period, there were not even a few Holy Spirit mages in the association, and the power was extremely shrinking, and it was on the verge of collapse.
But now, under the leadership of the legendary Wizard Guild Arast@Dauta Gru, the Magical Guild is thriving.
Within the organization, the establishment is huge, the departments are numerous, and the structure is complex. And Chongyang's airborne position that was directly delegated by Elder Richard was "Manager of the Ninth Division of the Scroll Section". As the director, he manages five directors of a subordinate department, 50 directors, thousands of directors, and tens of thousands of members at all levels......
Of course, this is only on the surface.
When Helen led the tour of the association's facilities, I listened to her simple explanation of Chongyang all the way, and found that the position I was in sounded amazing, but the things to be done were simple.
Look at the documents, stamp the seal, put the report in order, and have a meeting...... That's pretty much it.
Performance or something, there are five directors under the bottom who are trying their best to fight for it, and chores or something, and the chief secretary Helen can handle it single-handedly. To put it more bluntly, as long as he doesn't cause trouble to Jiusi, it is enough to flash and cool down.
A puppet with no power and influence.
Knowing this, Chongyang was not unhappy. When Elder Richard first made his promise, he had seen it clearly.
Just go with the flow, just live a gangster life, and your mind is not really in the Magic Association anyway.
"Do you have any other questions?" Helen said as she accompanied Chongyang, carefully observing the face of the airborne prince.
"Nope. Chongyang shook his head, "I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat." ”
Helen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She hinted in her words that it was best for the Ninth Division to maintain its current state, and the implication was that she hoped that the young director would not casually interfere in the business of the division. These words are ugly, but she has to say them, otherwise if the prince starts to make trouble for a while, she will not have a good time.
The situation is better than expected. This Mr. Chongyang clearly understands his position in office, and he has no arrogance, let alone looks at himself in a daze like many men...... And he plays the piano well.
Helen has an excellent impression of Chongyang, and the smile on her face is more and more sincere.
High-end restaurant in the association.
The beautiful chandeliers, the exquisite and luxurious decorations, the courteous and handsome waiters, and the beautiful reverberating piano music......
"What do you think of this place? Although it is a paid restaurant in the association, I think the environment is the best. If you think you can, tomorrow's welcome party will be held in the private room here, okay?"
After taking a comfortable seat by the window, Helen smiled.
"Not bad. Chongyang looked around and his gaze fell to the piano playing place opposite, "The tune is very good." ”
"Did you notice that too?" Helen suddenly became excited, "I also think the luthier here is great, and the music played is ......."
Immediately it started talking.
"You like piano music?"
"Well, but I don't play well myself, and I haven't had talent since I was a child. Helen realized she had said too much again, and stuck out her little tongue a little in embarrassment. This little girl-like movement is so cute that it can make a man's heart tremble.
"Half of my salary is spent on tickets to classical music concerts...... Who made the imperial capital have so many masters performing every month? There was helplessness and joy in Helen's tone.
Chongyang smiled slightly.
"Next time, I'll ask you to take a look. ”
The words spoken naturally by the black-haired young man made Helen's heart skip a beat.
There were too many men who wanted to invite her to a concert, but none of them really wanted to listen to music.
He...... Helen has been paying attention to Chongyang's face, and the clear eyes of the other party make her feel relieved.
Chongyang thought very simply.
Since the decision is to be a hands-off shopkeeper, it is necessary to have a good relationship with the senior secretary and assistant who is actually in charge of affairs, big and small.
But it was very subtle and gave Helen a beautiful misunderstanding.
"He also likes the piano and plays it beautifully...... If he is interested in pursuing me......" Helen faced Chongyang's young and calm face, thinking of the other party's mysterious and powerful background, and her heart was a little lively.
At this time, the waiter who delivered the menu approached, but he was followed by a waitress holding a small bouquet of red roses.
"This lady, Mr. Daunes @ Alexandro, at table 15, sends you this bouquet of flowers, and may you always be as beautiful as a flower. At the same time, he promises to cover all the expenses of this meal. The waitress presented the rose to Helen and said in a pleasant voice.
Daunes ......?
Chongyang frowned slightly, and his peaceful temperament became a little cold.
"This ...... I don't need to. Helen was embarrassed, she didn't expect that the playboy she had repeatedly rejected would be entangled here again.
He said, please, please take it. The waitress was insistent. The employer, who was a senior director-level official and a child of a family, gave her a death order that things must be delivered.
Helen was a soft-hearted woman, and she knew that waiters had the difficulties of waiters. A gentleman like Dauns who has the support of his family, even if he is only a little angry, is not something that these low-level attendants can bear. I had the heart to reluctantly accept the gift, so that the waiter could pay the errand, but I had to take care of the attitude of the boss in front of me.
Even if it is not a romantic relationship, when a man is dining with a woman, it can be very uncomfortable to be intervened by another man to woo the woman.
This is very rude, but the other party did it unscrupulously, obviously not taking the man who was dining with the woman in his eyes.
Chongyang coldly put down the menu in his hand.
"Go back. The indifferent chill in his tone made Helen's heart tremble when she heard it, "What's the problem, let that straw bale come to me." Just say, my name is Chongyang @Bright. ”
Calm and calm, full of confidence.
The waitress couldn't help but look at Chongyang, and from this black-haired young man, she felt the powerful aura that was still above the playboy employer.
Not daring to say a word, the waitress took back the bouquet and left in silence.
A moment of silence.
"Right...... I'm sorry, Mr. Chongyang. Helen didn't expect Chongyang to suddenly show such a scary side. A little intimidating, but also a subtle feeling that can't be explained.
"No need to apologize, it's none of your business. Chongyang smiled slightly. It's really a narrow road.
Well, the scar forgot the pain, Daunes @ Alex Caron, after recovering, is still a person.
You want to touch my secretary?
Chongyang is no longer the helpless little nobleman in the countryside at the beginning, he can negotiate face-to-face with Elder Richard, and in a few days he will meet with the legendary magician and watch the legendary-level battle...... With Daunes, a family moth, it is not at the same level as existence.
If there is strength, there is confidence.
It didn't take long.
With a rush of footsteps, a man and a woman walked to Chongyang and Helen's table.
"It's really you!?"
Dawnes, who was richly dressed, fair-skinned, and dressed as a standard cream student, frowned, stared at Chongyang's face, and said.
"It's me, Mr. Dawnes, I'm so interested, I was injured in the last duel, and I'm getting better so soon?" Chongyang turned his head and said lightly.
"Hillbilly! How dare you come here!What do you think this is?" Daunes sneered, his eyes sinister with murderous intent twinkle.
This is the Magic Society! This hillbilly must have a crippled brain, and he dares to come to the restaurant here to dine with the people of the Magic Association! His own Alexaron family, and Freya's Howason family, there are a thousand ways to dispose of him here!
In the face of Daunes's self-righteous murderous intentions, Chongyang only found it funny.
"This is the restaurant, Mr. Daunes doesn't even know what the restaurant is?" Chongyang said coldly.
"Oh, I almost forgot that for a 'windy' man like Mr. Dawnes, there are only two kinds of places in the world, one is a 'brothel' and the other is a 'hotel'. 'Brothel' is for hooking up with women, and 'hotel' is for toying with women...... Now, Mr. Daunes has made the restaurant a 'brothel,' and maybe a 'hotel' later. He glanced at the heavily makeup girl next to Dawnes and sneered.
"It's not surprising that there is a lack of common sense. However, I don't provide information services here, so if you want to find out what the 'restaurant' is, don't hesitate to ask the waitress just now. ”
"You ......," Daunes was so irritated by Chongyang's sarcastic words that his face flushed. Indeed, in the eyes of people like him, there is only a place in the world to hook up with women and play with women. Just now, he was still tempting the girl in his arms to ...... with him in the private room of the restaurant
"Wait and see, I've informed the owner of this restaurant, he's from the Howason family!" Daunes glared at Chongyang in disgust, and said viciously.
"Think about it, how will the enemy who almost killed the most potential genius of the Howason family be here? Hahaha-you can't escape now! After you are captured in a while, what awaits you is life is worse than death!"
Daunes sneered.
Chongyang didn't bother to look at the idiot again, and looked at the menu in front of him.
At this time, a middle-aged man in formal clothes, followed by two high-level magicians, walked towards this seat.
