Chapter 235: Hold a Party
Lewis ordered a beef sandwich for lunch, and the restaurant in Beckland was always less musical and romantic than Intis.
After all, the culture of the Kingdom of Rune is relatively more conservative, and there are many followers of the goddess of the night, who place more emphasis on family and marriage.
Viscount Glerint deliberately sat down at a table with Lewis, and he asked the waiter for a steak, and in a voice that only two people could hear, asked coldly:
"Sir, why are you here, and why are you trying to get close to Polly. Ian? ”
He's very perceptive, and I've always thought that Glerint was just a tease who follows Miss Justice.
Lewis dispelled his bias by pausing his eating and wiping the food scraps from the corners of his mouth:
"Maybe you misunderstand me, but I'm just a businessman and want to come here to make some investments."
"Just an investment? So it's not that you're cursing Polly. Ian? Gleilynt asked again.
Your mind is very dark, no wonder Miss "Justice" is not interested in you......
Lewis secretly complained about Gleilint before saying:
"That kind of indiscriminate tactics will only damage the reputation of a businessman, not to mention that Polly. Ian is my friend! ”
Lewis grimaced and in this way warns Glerint not to slander.
He doesn't have a bad opinion of Glelint, but now he has a good impression of Polly. Ian was more interested in being a little more interested before attaching to Polly. The curse on Ian's body must have come from the transcendent, and when it comes to curses, it is inevitable that people think of witches and demons.
And what he is looking for to get close to is also the Witch Sect.
"I see, I'm sorry for my previous misunderstanding."
Glerint breathed a sigh of relief, he picked up his knife and fork, and was about to make a move on the steak on the plate, but as if suddenly remembering something, he asked:
"Haven't asked for your name yet?"
"Lewis. Harvey. Lewis didn't hide anything, he even took out his identification from his pocket, and subconsciously wanted to show it to the other party.
After all, just got a fake identity, and always subconsciously wants to hide something.
Glerint hadn't intended to pick up Lewis's identification, but when he heard that Lewis. Harvey's name, subconsciously opened the document and glanced at it.
"So you are the father of alternating current, Lewis. Mr. Harvey!
I've heard of your invention of alternating current, which is definitely a time-changing creation, and maybe it will solve the smog of Beckland.
In case you didn't know, the recent Beckland smog killed 50,000 people is a terrifying number. ”
"Fifty thousand?"
Lewis frowned, of course he knew about the Great Smog of Beckland, and even more so that it involved the Witch Sect and the royal family, and even tried to remind Crane.
He didn't have the strength or the opportunity to change the incident, and now hearing the death toll shocked him.
Gleilynt sighed softly and said:
"Yes, that's sad news, but unfortunately I can't do anything about it."
"If only you had this desire, God will surely give you a gift of goodness." Lewis said.
After a pause, Lewis tapped the table and said seriously:
"Viscount Glerinte, allow me now to formally invite you to my party, where you will see the difference that alternating current makes."
Glerint's body trembled slightly, and he promised:
"I'll definitely go and bring my friends."
Lewis chatted with Glerint for a while, he left the club after lunch, and his luck today was not bad, Viscount Glerint was a big fish.
"This dinner is an AC exhibition, I need to show my strength as much as possible, and it is better to summon Miss 'Justice' over.
With this dinner, I was likely to blend in with the local aristocracy. ”
For a merchant who was about to host a dinner party, decency was a top priority, which meant that the affairs of the steward and servants could not be delayed any longer.
Lewis didn't plan to publish in the newspaper or find a random butler, after all, the housekeeper's behavior represented the dignity of the owner, and it was difficult for a housekeeper with insufficient literacy to support his face as the "father of alternating current".
To this end, he found a carriage by the side of the road, and after getting into the carriage, he silently recited the divination sentence.
As the cane fell, it pointed in a northwest direction.
After a few tosses and turns, and a drive of more than an hour, Lewis was able to get off the carriage in the Jowood area.
He came to a two-story apartment and rang the doorbell.
"Cuckoo!"
The mechanical bird bounces out from above the door frame and looks kind of cute.
A short time later, a man in a suit with gray sideburns opened the door, looked at Lewis, and asked:
"Sir, may I ask what is the matter?"
Lewis's inspiration reminded him that the man in front of him was the answer to divination.
He took off his top hat and chuckled:
"I'm a Rune merchant who has just returned from Intis and am looking for a good butler."
"Merchant?" The man with gray sideburns looked at Lewis suspiciously, and in his eyes, Lewis was too young to look like a weathered businessman.
At least, not like a merchant who can afford to hire a butler and a servant.
Lewis shrugged his shoulders, and he handed out his identification in a bored manner, along with a copy of the Intis newspaper, and said:
"As you can see."
The man with gray sideburns glanced at the photo in the newspaper and checked Lewis's ID, and finally recognized that the man in front of him was really a great businessman, despite his young age.
He silently straightened his back, invited Lewis in, and made the black tea himself.
Lewis tasted a sip of black tea, he felt that the craft was not bad, of course, the craft of making tea should be a servant's business, and the housekeeper needed to have a certain amount of social experience and overall view.
The man with gray sideburns saluted Lewis and said:
"I'm Walsh. Deep, who had worked in Baron Zachary's mansion, had a wealth of experience. ”
Baron Zachary, who is that?
Although Lewis didn't know Baron Zachary at all, his good performance quality made him unfazed and said coldly:
"Very good!
I need an experienced butler like you. The salary is the same as when he worked at Baron Zachary's mansion. ”
"Thank you so much for your generosity, I won't let you down." Walsh. Diff said.
He used to work in Baron Zachary's mansion and was proud of his work, but until half a month ago, Baron Zachary casually fired him without even the slightest reason.
This made him very uneasy, and he was even keenly aware that something serious had happened to Baron Zachary to fire a butler in such a hurry.
After all, a butler is different from an ordinary manservant, and every butler is irreplaceable.
Even if you want to be fired, you will prepare for the handover a long time in advance, and it will never be so casual.
