Before Benjamin got up early the next morning, the housemaid knocked on the door and said that a woman named Joe was looking for him downstairs. Benjamin was so frightened that a spiriter jumped out of bed, put on his nightgown and went down.

Joe was dressed very differently today than he was yesterday, wearing a well-fitting outing suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking particularly shrewd and capable.

When he saw Benjamin's sleepy eyes, Joe raised his glasses and said emotionlessly, "Mr. Carpenter, I remember that it was written that Mr. Christie would go to church every Monday. Now you have twenty minutes to freshen up and get dressed, or we'll be too late. ”

Benjamin woke up immediately after drowsiness, and ran back without saying a word, and when he finished freshening up and changing his clothes and went downstairs, Joe raised his wrist and looked at the table, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's very punctual, so let's go." ”

Benjamin thought to himself that this was a monster, and followed Joe all the way to the carriage to the church, and asked curiously on the way, "How did you become Hai's assistant?" ”

Joe glanced at Benjamin and asked without emotion, "Does this have anything to do with our work?" ”

"Absolutely!" Benjamin said seriously: "First of all, you and I must have a certain tacit understanding when we cooperate, I don't know anything about you, how to cultivate a tacit understanding?" Secondly, I know your boss, but I don't know much about you. If I'm going to help your boss, I'm sure I want to know where you come from, so that you're not a spy sent by my opponent, aren't you? ”

When Joe Benjamin said this, he kept looking at Benjamin with a mentally retarded look, and his eyes were full of three big words: "There are so many plays".

Benjamin was a little embarrassed by Joe's eyes, and coughed dryly and said, "Besides, I know you better, and when I introduce you to Christie, I can be more confident, so as not to expose me." ”

Joe nodded unexpectedly: "This makes a lot of sense. Well, my name is Joe Matt Lillian, and I'm twenty-four years old. I had several jobs before this job.

"I once had a fiancé who died, and when he was fighting a duel, his pistol went off and he crashed himself. I also have two younger sisters at home and an aunt in Australia.

"I'm fluent in English, Portuguese, French, plus I can write shorthand and be a housekeeper. I was introduced to the job by the Count of Siul, for whom I had worked as a typist for a while. ”

Hearing that it was introduced by the Earl of Siul, Benjamin hurriedly smiled and said, "It turned out to be introduced by an acquaintance, so there is no problem." Also, I want to ask, have you always been so rigid? ”

Joe raised his glasses: "Rigid?" I don't feel anything, I just want to be as efficient as possible while working. Too many expressions and moods can affect work, so I think it's better not to bring any emotions into things. ”

Benjamin couldn't laugh or cry, and he kept trying to tease this Joe a few more words along the way, but she didn't answer anything except for the real work-related topics, which made Benjamin very frustrated.

But when it came to the destination, Joe's expression was perfect for the current environment. After all, in church, there is no room for frolicking and laughing.

With a solemn face, she successfully took Benjamin to the side of her target, James Christie.

After the service, Joe got up to leave, and the woolen shawl draped over his lap fell to the ground in an instant. Joe chuckled out, "Oh no! ”

James Christie, who was on the side, was very gentlemanly and helped her pick up the wool shawl, and flicked the ashes, and then helped Joe put it on.

"Please watch out for ma'am, the ground is wet in this weather, and if it gets dirty, you won't be able to use it."

Joe smiled and nodded at Christie, dumbfounded Benjamin.

Isn't that laughing!

"Thank you ......"

"Christie, James Christie."

Joe smiled knowingly, "Hello, Mr. Christie. My name is Joe Matt Lillian, please call me Joe. ”

Christie, as a man, naturally showed his arms very gentlemanly, and Joe also pulled it up without a trace of embarrassment. The two turned around and collided with Benjamin, and Joe pointed to Benjamin and introduced, "This is Benjamin Carpenter, my boss's friend." ”

Christie was a little surprised, hurriedly put down her arm and said, "You guys are together?" ”

Qiao hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "No, because he hasn't come to worship for too long, our boss ordered me to arrest him." ”

Christie laughed and said to Benjamin, "I still have to do the service, of course I am not qualified to say you, I will only be back to the service for a few months." ”

Benjamin immediately took over and complained: "I didn't mean to, I've been in England for a few days this year, and I've spent most of my time in the East. God knows, I'm religious. ”

Christie sighed and said busily: "What a coincidence, I just returned to England." You say you're in the East? Which country is it? ”

Benjamin immediately took Joe's place, took the initiative on the topic, and successfully pulled the atmosphere of the conversation between the two up.

By the time the three of them walked out of the church, Benjamin had already made an appointment with Christie to visit Carpenter's house tomorrow to see the rare treasures of oriental silk.

"You're the most brilliant young I've ever seen!" It only takes a few words for Christie to get to the bottom of a person. What Benjamin just said is obviously personal experience.

And the oriental customs and customs he introduced cannot be said in such detail unless people who have been there in person.

Christie had also been to the East, but not for long, so it was clear to him that Benjamin was not lying.

Coupled with Benjamin's extraordinary conversation and rich experience, Christie started to understand it in-depth after a conversation.

The Carpenter family has been very famous in London in recent years, and it is said that they relied on the aristocracy of the East, and they sprung up, relying on the family's youngest son to run a business outside, and successfully avoided bankruptcy, and not only that, they were rich and low-key at the same time.

Christie's purpose for coming back this time is still lacking some conditions to succeed. And among these conditions, money is included.

Now that this great opportunity has fallen in front of her eyes, how could Christie let it go?

When it was time to say goodbye, Benjamin wanted to tell Christie his address, but Christie refused and smiled: "Carpenter's big estate is famous, who in London doesn't know?" Don't worry, I'll be there to disturb you. ”

Benjamin smiled and got into the carriage, waved his hat goodbye to Christie, and as soon as the carriage came out of sight, he immediately turned back to Joe and said, "You've been smiling at him for so long, my God, you're really a machine!" ”
