"Thank you so much for the reminder, it's important to me. In terms of acting, Durin has done a good job, at least he knows how to hide the real fluctuations in his heart.
The moment his gaze met Sandra's, he suddenly realized something, and naturally half-raised his arm, his left hand was slightly clenched into a fist at the bottom of the middle line of the clothes, and the naturally arched elbow just left a little space, Sandra naturally interspersed his arm from the crook of Durin's arm, and the two sides showed a tacit understanding, as if they had known each other for a long time. She smiled slightly playfully, her eyes narrowed like a crooked crescent, "Then invite me to dinner!"
"What do you like to eat?", the two of them said what seemed to be a normal conversation as they walked out, as if they had only come here to wait for the evening to finish.
Cliffluff in the distance frowned as he looked at the background of the two leaving, others didn't know the details of Sandra, but as the agent of the western part of the Jindes Metal Mining Group, he held a lot of power and had enough help from the top of the group, and he also had a huge network of contacts in the society, so he still had a little bit of a clear understanding of Shandra's background.
In the history of the empire, there has been a very "tough guy" prime minister, this prime minister has gone through three generations of emperors, and when the third little emperor ascended the throne, the strength of the prime minister was monstrous, and almost most of the nobles stood by the side of this prime minister. At that time, he only needed to say that taboo word, and there might not be anything about the royal family now. But he didn't do that, and he used his strong political skills to firmly make the aristocrats willing to be at his mercy.
Although it is inevitable to see from the records of past history that there are similar titles such as "power minister" and "bully" for this prime minister, it has to be said that this prime minister did not do anything. On the contrary, in a way, this ruler played a key role in curbing the expansion of the aristocratic group, prompting the imperial family's policy towards the nobility to change from "trust" to "vigilance", which was a turning point in the history of the empire. The emperors no longer wanted a nobleman who frightened him, for fear that his head would be cut off at any moment, repeat this kind of thing again, and go to the other extreme.
Although the emperors did a good job and completely solved the invasion of the aristocratic group on the imperial power, they still tried the suffering of reincarnation, because the royal family ran into Magus. A prime minister who is not amazing but has become powerful in the world has directly overthrown the era of the imperial family ruling the empire and entered a new future.
No matter what the future holds, Magus, and the chancellor, will be a great part of the history of the Empire!
Shandra is the person in front of the generation of the prime minister's family, when the prime minister resigned from the post of prime minister, he knew that he had held the military and political power of the empire for more than 40 years, and the royal family's resentment and fear of him would lead to great disasters, so he was very cunning and directly "broke up" his family. It seems that the entire family has been destroyed by his "madness" in his hands, but in fact, the family has been rebuilt again with the surname "Diplessie" after hundreds of years.
The Duplexi family has not had any brilliant politicians in the history of the empire since then, and they are not even nobles, but no one can ignore their strength. It wasn't until Mags overthrew the rule of the royal family that this family surfaced slightly, and there were shadows of the Diplexi family in almost all walks of life, so the Dipraisi family also had another name - the shadow family.
Sandra, as the front-stage figure released by the Shadow Family, whether she is an important figure in the family or not, is a very important help for Cliffland who is actively seeking to improve. If he can combine with Sandra, he will be able to integrate into this shadow family bit by bit, get more resources and conveniences, and create a branch with himself as the main one, or even his own family.
It's important for him, his time is running out, he's thirty-seven years old, and he doesn't have many options. Sandra is the best card in front of him right now, and he has to draw this card, and no more problems will be a problem.
Ideals are always infinitely beautiful, and although Cliffland has always felt that he and Sandra are very compatible, Sandra doesn't think so, and her attitude towards him can be said to be very bad. As for why this phenomenon occurs, it may have something to do with Kleillanff's feeling good about himself, but Kleillanff can't be blamed for that. At the age of thirty-seven, he became the second largest metal mining group in the empire and the position of a regional agent, which is enough to prove his excellence.
Not everyone can do this position, and even some high-level leaders in the group are not as powerful as him.
If Durin hadn't been there, Clelanv might not have been too nervous, and he would have had to think about something else as he saw the woman he wanted to marry leave with Durin.
After the buffet, he returned to his villa, locked himself in his study, and made a phone call to his friend who worked at the top of the group's head office.
"Is Sandra really from the Duplexi family? could it be just a surname?", he had to determine the question, and when there was no competitor he saw himself as the only option, and only the only one. But when a competitor emerges, he has to consider the risks and benefits. Just as Sandra knew about Doolin, Clifflaffe knew enough about Doolin that he could make Doolin's friends, enemies, or even strangers before there was a conflict of interest, because he wouldn't interfere with Dorin, and Dorin's wouldn't interfere with him.
It is even more unlikely that there will be things that hurt each other and infringe on each other's interests.
But when the choice is placed in front of him, he must consider whether his efforts are enough in return, and whether the goal he pursues is the goal he wants.
"You called me outside of work hours at night just for this?", the voice in the earpiece was a little displeased, after all, the other party is also a senior member of the group, and the more prominent the person, the more he doesn't like to be harassed undeservedly, "I can tell you for sure that Sandra is the niece and granddaughter of this patriarch, even if she is not a core member, she is not the kind of corner that can be compared." Every member who can be pushed to the front of the stage is the best in the Shadow Family!"
Clifforff breathed a sigh of relief at this irascible answer, and he reassured the other man, "Okay, well, I'm sorry I'm going to disturb your time with your family at this time, don't you want my shotgun? Of course, I have one more question that you must answer me......"
"That's good news, what else do you want to ask?", Cliffluff's friend immediately became friendly, the shotgun they were talking about was once the one used by His Majesty the Emperor, who was now His Majesty's grandfather. To say that the performance is definitely much worse than the current shotgun, but the nature and collectible meaning of this shotgun are completely different. In this post-imperial era, when the royal family has not completely fallen from mythology, everything in the royal family is good, even if a member of the royal family farts is fragrant, let alone this shotgun used by the emperor.
"If ......," Cliffland tried to make his statement seem less obtrusive, "what do you think I'd become if I married Sandra?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and just as Clifflaffe wondered if the operator had accidentally dropped his phone line, a voice came from the receiver, "If you marry Sandra, I'll push you to become a shareholder on the board of directors and give you more equity and power." If you can leverage the Shadow Family's investment in our group, of course, we will cede part of the equity for this purpose, and maybe you can mix up the position of executive director!"
"It's a funny joke, I don't know if you drank too much or fell on your head, but it's a very good and bold conjecture, try to make it happen, and I'll help you speak on the board!"
"Remember to let me know if there is further news. Oh, and my shotgun, which I hope to use to hunt next weekend!"
The sound of the signal being cut off from the phone did not make Cliffluff feel any discomfort, and he put down the phone and lay on the sofa as comfortably as possible, without any image at all, like a "street friend" lying on a dirty couch picked up by the roadside.
The benefits of taking Shandra were much more, and it looked better than he had imagined. It is precisely because he is in the Jindes Metal Mining Group that he is more aware of the specific strength of this business consortium. He is now an agent in the western region, but the equity of the group's head office in his hands is only 1.1 percent, and according to the current securities management clauses, he is not even the smallest shareholder. But even so, he still controls the fate of hundreds of thousands of people and holds huge capital power.
Taking it a step further and becoming a "minority shareholder", this will be another peak of his life!
On the other side, Durin was having dinner with Sandra. In this era of great change, the power of money is even God to give way to it, and a fine violinist in the remote and desolate Gobi Desert is playing beautiful music for the two of them, for which he can earn no less than fifty yuan. The tables were filled with the freshest ingredients, and twenty-four girls dressed in white sand held warm lamps for their illumination.
All the atmosphere was extra romantic, and under the influence of alcohol and the warm lighting, Sandra looked much more beautiful than when she was in the venue!
