Chapter 2736 Hometown Visitors

The food in the cafeteria of the Academy of Military Sciences is indeed very rich. In order to entertain His Majesty and Joan, who are visiting in micro-service, Mr. Jack specially asked the chef to make a famous Far Eastern dish "grilled bear steak".

Joan mourned for the bear that was unfortunately slaughtered. Although this did not prevent him from gorging on the bear meat - as a local dish, it is worth trying, but he prefers the canned meat he bought himself.

After a full meal, Joan accompanied His Majesty the Emperor back to Fort Colas, and it was dark when he got home.

Another week passed in a blink of an eye.

At the end of the month, Joan was polishing two papers that had already completed the first draft, when he suddenly received a "short message technique" from old man Franklin, asking him to entertain distinguished guests from the New World at noon tomorrow.

"Old Dean, who is the distinguished guest?"

Joan took out the communication crystal and sent a letter to inquire.

"Haha, it's our 'Finance Minister'."

After receiving the mocking reply from the old man Franklin, Joan immediately understood.

oh! It was Mr. Kaufman!

Joan and Mr. David Kaufman, the owner of the "Happy Palace" resort hotel in Hot Spring Town, are also old acquaintances.

Six years ago, when Joan was studying in Midgard, she accompanied her tutor, Professor Moriarty, to the "Happy Palace" Hotel in Hot Spring Town to attend the engagement of this very popular millionaire and Mrs. Josephine banquet.

Unexpectedly, this trip was not "joyful" at all. First, he was involved in the bloody adult trial of the Bogman, and then there was a case of someone pretending to be Mrs. Josephine. An ethical scandal that had been buried in the Mann family for many years caused Mr. Kaufman's reputation to be discredited and he never got married.

After that, David Kaufman faded out of Joann's vision until the vigorous independence movement in the New World last spring.

The most famous wealthy businessman in the Midgard colony returned to the public eye again, attended the first and second continental conferences, was elected as a representative of public opinion, and signed the "Declaration of Independence". A "proven old revolutionary".

Mr. Kaufman's current main position is the head of the "Financial Committee" under the Continental Congress. His status is equivalent to the acting finance minister of a government. —Issuing treasury bonds to raise military expenditures.

Joan and Mr. Kaufman are just acquaintances, and they don't know anything about debt issuance. They don't understand why the old man Franklin dragged himself to socialize.

After some inquiring, I found out that the old man knew that he was an old acquaintance with Antron Yangbo, the vice-president of the Central Bank of the Far East, and that he often went to and from the court to speak in front of His Majesty the Emperor, so he wanted to use his connections. Introduce Mr. Kaufman into the social circle of the high society of Fort Colas.

After hearing this, Joan couldn't help being in a daze.

A few years ago, he would never have dreamed that one day the word "connection" would be grandly added to himself, a social terrorist, and he couldn't help but sigh that the fate of a person in this life is really unpredictable.

In any case, people are not close to each other. After all, David Kaufman is his fellow villager. In addition, the old dean asked for help, so of course Joan had to do his best to help.

At noon the next day, Joan went to the "Friendly House" Hotel on time for an appointment and had lunch with Mr. Franklin and Mr. Kaufman.

Joan originally thought that he was just an accompanying guest, and he would finish the job by concentrating on cooking. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down at the dining table, Mr. Kaufman pulled himself to complain. The subject was nothing more than the incident of his ex-wife, Mrs. All kinds of gossip.

"Dr. Vader, as you probably know, there are rumors that my dear Josephine is dating a rich young man whose family runs an airship company in Bethlehem."

"I really don't know, Mr. Kaufman, I'm not interested in these things." Joan said perfunctorily.

"Then you must have heard another more terrifying rumor. Dear Josephine seems to intend to rekindle her old love with her old lover, Professor Moriarty, your tutor... Alas, these scandals have caused a lot of trouble. I'm upset, Dr. Vader, what do you think I should do!"

What is "how to do it"?

It's none of your business!

Joan really didn't want to meddle in such nosy business, but seeing Mr. Kaufman's distraught expression, he couldn't bear it, so he had to put down the knife and fork first, and comfort him not to look for trouble.

"Mr. Kaufman, don't expect me to help you contact the countess and bring about your reunion. To be honest, I don't have that ability!"

"Taking a step back, the Countess, as a diplomat, attends social events, and it's her job to act on occasion. Besides, you have already canceled your engagement. Even if the Countess really finds a new love, it's not your turn to worry about it. Why worry about your own What you don’t get is sad.”

"Hey, Dr. Vader, I understand what you said, but I still can't let go of Josephine, and I can't help but pay attention to the news about her, and there will always be some scandals that are difficult to distinguish between true and false. , caused me a lot of trouble.”

"David, you are not troubled, you are simply jealous!" Franklin said very straightforwardly.

"Okay! Okay! I admit that I am a narrow-minded man, but I am jealous, but I will not really hinder Josephine from pursuing true love. I only hope that she can find a good man who is better than me, but she must If the one in the match is not as good as mine... Alas! Mr. Franklin, Dr. Vida, you all come to judge, how can I swallow this breath!"

Mr. Kaufman complained bitterly.

The old man Franklin shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands towards Joan, saying that he could not understand Kaufman's strange mentality, so he simply poured him a glass of wine.

"Drink, drink, my friend! In the Far East, there is no problem that a glass of vodka can't solve, and if you have one, have another!"

Joan also hoped that the spirits would really help Mr. Kaufman relieve his sorrows, but it turned out to be the opposite. The guy drank two glasses of vodka and became more verbose, like a complaining woman, pulling him to chatter endlessly.

Joan had no choice but to be patient and continue to persuade him to open up a little bit, and he didn't want to hang himself on the tree of Mrs. Josephine.

"Mr. Kaufman, as the saying goes, everyone has a different eye. The man you don't like may be a treasure in the eyes of the countess. I still say that, you don't care about this matter, rather worry about others." How about finding a new girlfriend to live your private life well, I think the countess will wish you the same!"

Joan didn't know how to say comforting words at first, and he tried his best to enlighten Mr. Kaufman, but his painstaking efforts were of no use, and the other party was still depressed and desperate.
