Joe Wood District, outside the Coim Company.

Klein stepped out of the carriage and looked left and right, as if he had never been here, with a strong sense of freshness.

But in reality, he was no stranger to the neighborhood, he knew that across the road was the middle-class department store, which was quite popular with the middle class, and that there was a famous Sim Kee Dixi pie not far away.

He used to squat here to guard Doragu Gale, tracking and looking for clues about the other party's cheating!

Retracting his gaze, Crane led his valet Richardson to the door of Coim's company, where Lady Mary and her valet were waiting.

——In the relatively conservative kingdom of Rune, the lady's personal servant must be of the same sex, otherwise the reputation will be very poor, affecting social and marriage, so even if Lady Mary's personal servant is equivalent to her secretary to some extent, she needs to master social etiquette, knowledge of the shopping mall, and have certain negotiation skills, but she can only look for women who have received a good education or have corresponding work experience, and cannot consider men.

In the same way, the personal servants and business secretaries of the gentlemen must also be of the same sex.

Of course, even so, people who can't control themselves will still have immoral behavior, in Beckland, every year there are servants and employers who have a relationship, among them, the most of the people who are hurt are maids, they are either deceived, or forced, or seduced, become the lover of a male employer, and when they are discovered, they will be fired mercilessly, lose their jobs, and then because their reputation is damaged, they can no longer be servants, and most of them have to become street girls.

"Good afternoon, Dwayne. Lady Mary greeted her with a smile.

Klein bowed and said:

"Good afternoon, ma'am, it's quite bustling here. ”

Such a discourse is slightly equivalent to a discussion of the weather.

Mary replied with a few words, and said with a smile as she led Dawn Dantès into the door of Coim's company:

"Wait a minute, there will be a professional to explain to you and take you around.

"About half an hour later, I went upstairs and prepared a buffet and invited some friends from different fields. ”

Friends in different fields...... It's expanding my social circle...... Klein bowed his head lightly and said:

"As an outsider who has just arrived in Beckland, I am always looking forward to meeting more people. ”

"No, you are not at all like a foreigner, and it seems to me that you are a true Beckland gentleman with a good education. Lady Mary responded politely.

As they spoke, they passed through the gate and entered the well-lit hospitality area, where a burly man in a formal suit with two beautiful mustaches was waiting.

"This is Luke Summer, who is the first manager of Coim. Mary introduced Dawn Dantès.

Actually, I know him...... Crane looked at Luke and nodded with a smile.

In his mind, Luke Summerr was a very calm and professional gentleman, who loved machinery and was very hostful at dinners, and did not despise the poor detectives who were not yet famous at the time, nor did he try to curry favor with the few middle-level employees of the municipal department of Beckland who lived on Minsk Street.

"This is my friend, Dawn Dantès, who is interested in anthracite and good charcoal, and you can give me a detailed explanation. Mary turned to Luke.

Luke, who had already been advised, stepped forward, looked at the Monopoly from Desy Bay, showed a soft smile, and said respectfully:

"Mr. Dantès, this is the headquarters of Coim...... We have long-term agreements with a number of anthracite mining sites...... Anthracite and high-quality charcoal supplied to Jowood, Hilston, North and West accounts for 30% of their total demand and is on track to win large orders from the Navy......"

I've never seen Luke with such a look on his face before...... On the surface, Klein quietly followed the other party around the Coim Company, listening to him introduce various aspects of the situation, and asked casually from time to time, but did not make any statement.

Half an hour later, they went up to the second floor and entered the large conference room.

The place has been set up in advance, with tables against the wall and plates of food staggered on top of it, mainly ham, bacon, sausages, bread, salads, cakes, puddings and other cold dishes, but there are also a small number of hot dishes.

As soon as she got started, Mary introduced Dawn Dantès to two men who were standing nearby to talk:

"This is Mike Joseph, a reporter for the Daily Observer, this is Alan Creese, an excellent surgeon, and in Beckland, you will always need them. ”

Crane listened to Mary's words as he looked at the two men with a smile, the corners of his mouth twitching.

Well, I'm more familiar with the fetus in Ellen's wife's womb, uh, that's a bit weird...... Crane waited patiently until Mary introduced Dwayne Dantès to the other side before politely greeting Mike and Allen.

Mike Joseph has not changed much compared to last year, his eyebrows are sparse, his skin is rough, and his blue eyes are still charming, while Alan Krees, although he is a cold and introverted person in nature, is no longer obvious, and he seems to have been doing well in the past six months, both in mood and confidence, at the peak.

Hearing that Dantes was a rich man from Dixie, Mike took out his business card and handed it over with a smile:

"You don't mind if I sell, do you?

"If you want to advertise, you can come to me, whether it's the Daily Observer or the Tassok newspaper, I can get a good price. ”

As he spoke, Mike squeezed his eyes, indicating that he was joking.

You journalist who always carries multiple fake documents...... Why didn't Sherlock Moriarty say that he could get a preferential price for advertising space before? Look down on the great detective, right? Klein sneered a few words and exchanged business cards with the other party:

"I've always had a need for this. ”

Then, he turned to Allen and handed him another business card in his hand:

"I had an illness some time ago, and I didn't recover for a long time, so I understand the importance of doctors. ”

"I'm a surgeon, and I don't think you want to see me too much. Alan said this, but still took the business card.

No, I would very much like to see you and even attend your child's birth feast...... Klein muttered, deliberately directing the topic to the medical field, and chatted with Alan and Mike quite well.

He had been worrying about how to get close to Alan and reconnect with a fetus, after all, the paper crane could be broken at any time, and maybe not even once, and it was difficult for Sherlock Moriarty to show up in Beckland and visit her, let alone attend the birth party.

Now it's no problem, with Lady Mary's introduction, I can get acquainted with Alan very naturally, and when the time comes, I will definitely be invited, hehe, maybe I can be a godfather of the "Mercury Serpent", after all, they are all people who believe in goddesses...... Does this make a baby angry...... Be cautious, Alan doesn't mention it, I definitely can't take the initiative to suggest...... Klein thought happily.

He restrained himself professionally, did not show too much enthusiasm at the first time, and after a few small talks, he followed Mary to meet other guests.

In the process, Klein did not forget to take food and drinks, and seemed to be very comfortable with such an environment.

At the end of the lap, Mary stopped, pondered, and said:

"It's all my friends here. ”

Meaning that I didn't invite anyone over there, and it also included the meaning that I am also your friend?Klein nodded lightly and said:

"As a gentleman, I probably shouldn't ask, but as a businessman, I must know who, or who are you fighting for control of Coim?"

Mary was silent for two seconds and said:

"Baron Sindras and his friends, they want to push Coim to the stock exchange and make sky-high profits from it, they don't care what the future holds. ”

Baron Sindras, one of Rune's richest men, became an aristocratic banker, factory owner, and big businessman by donating money to the Conservatives...... His position is a little vague, although he won the title by the Conservative Party, he is sympathetic to businessmen and close to the New Party...... Klein thought for a moment, smiled and asked:

"Why don't you ask that Mr. Hall for help? His father is a great nobleman and a big banker, and he should be able to help most effectively. ”

Lady Mary smiled bitterly:

Mr. Hall did not want to be involved in this matter, saying that he was the chief secretary of the Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Commission and could not be involved in business practices related to anthracite and charcoal. ”

A gentleman who is truly interested in politics...... However, he should also be reluctant to have a bad relationship with Baron Sindras...... Hehe, if I had chosen another butler before, I would have established a relationship with Baron Sindras by now...... He's so rich, he really wants a premium, I can't overflow...... Heh, will there be a plot to smash me to death with money...... Klein didn't ask any more questions, and instead said:

"I'll wait for the investigation report to come out. ”

Seeing that Dawn Dantès did not flinch directly, Mary said with a little gratitude:

"In this day and age, there are very few people with chivalry, and you are one of them. ”

Klein smiled, didn't promise anything, ate until the end of the buffet, got into his high-end four-wheeled carriage, and headed back to the North District.

Looking at the street scene outside the window for a while, Klein suddenly turned his head sideways and said to Richardson, the personal servant:

"Turn to St. Samuel's Church. ”

The last time there was a change in the church, he never found a definite answer, which forced him to consider whether he should find an opportunity to contact the internal caretaker.

And he remembered that every afternoon, at least one of the inner wardens would go to the Great Prayer Hall to pray to the Goddess.

How do you get in touch? In that environment, even the conversation seems noisy...... And being too deliberate is easy to arouse suspicion...... Crane frowned slightly, deciding to make observations first and then figure out a way.

The carriage did not change direction, and continued to drive toward Bercolnd Street, but without stopping there, it crossed directly.

Crane in the carriage closed his eyes and calmed down his suddenly somewhat nervous mood.
