Chapter 66 Revisiting the Old Place

Jorwood District, outside Coim Company.

Klein got off the carriage and glanced left and right. It seemed that he had never been here before, and he had a strong sense of freshness.

But in fact, he is no stranger to the neighborhood. He knows that across the road is the Gardner department store that is very popular with the middle class, and he knows that there is a famous Sin Kee Dixi pie not far away.

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

Withdrawing his gaze, Klein led his personal servant Richardson towards the gate of Coym Company, where Mrs. Mary and her personal maid were already waiting.

——In the Loen Kingdom, where the folk customs are relatively conservative, a lady's personal servant must be of the same sex, otherwise the reputation will be bad, which will affect social interaction and marriage, so even if Madam Mary's personal servant is equivalent to her secretary to some extent, it needs Mastering social etiquette, business knowledge, and negotiating skills can only be sought from women who have received a good education or corresponding work experience, and men cannot be considered.

Similarly, gentlemen's personal servants and business secretaries must also be of the same sex.

Of course, even if this is the case, people who can't control themselves will still behave immorally. In Backlund, there are incidents of servants having relationships with their employers every year. Among them, most of the injured are maids. They may be deceived , were forced or lured to become lovers of male employers, and when they were discovered, they would be mercilessly fired and lost their jobs, and then they could no longer be servants because of their reputation. Most of them had to become station servants. street girl.

"Good afternoon, Dawn." Mrs. Mary greeted him with a smile.

Klein bowed and said:

"Good afternoon, ma'am, it's really busy here."

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

Mary responded with a few words, and while leading Dawn Dantès into the gate of Coim Company, she said with a smile:

"Later, a professional will explain it to you and take you around.

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

Friends from different fields... This is expanding my social circle... Very sincere! Klein nodded lightly and said:

"As a foreigner who just came to Backlund not long ago, I always look forward to meeting more friends."

"No, you don't look like an outsider at all. In my opinion, you are a well-educated and genuine Backlund gentleman." Madam Mary responded politely.

While talking, they passed through the gate and entered the well-lit reception area. A burly man in a formal suit with two beautiful mustaches was waiting here.

"This is Luke Summer, he is Coim's first manager." Mary introduced Dwayne Dantès.

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

In his heart, Luke Summer is a very calm, very professional gentleman. He loves machinery and is very hostile at dinner parties. Several middle-level employees of Backlund's municipal department lived on the street.

"This is my friend, Dawn Dantès, he is very interested in anthracite and high-quality charcoal, please give me a detailed explanation." Mary turned to Luke and said.

Luke, who had been instructed a long time ago, took a step forward, looked at the rich man from Dixi Bay, showed a soft smile, and respectfully said:

"Mr. Dantès, this is the headquarters of the Coim Company... We have long-term agreements with various anthracite mining districts... Anthracite and high-quality charcoal supplying Jowood District, Hillston District, North District and West District account for 30% of their total needs, and are expected to win a large order from the Navy..."

I've never seen Luke with such an expression before... Klein followed him around the Coym Company calmly, listening to him introduce various aspects of the situation, and asked casually from time to time, but he didn't make any statement .

Half an hour later, they went up to the second floor,

Entered the large meeting room.

The place has been arranged in advance. The tables are placed against the wall, and the plates of food are placed on the top. The main cold foods are ham, bacon, sausage, bread, salad, cake, pudding, etc. However, there are also a small amount of food. Hot dishes.

Just getting started, Mary introduced Dwayne Dantès to the two men who were standing nearby and communicating:

"This is Mike Joseph, a reporter from the Daily Observer, and this is the excellent surgeon Alan Kress. In Backlund, you will always need them."

While listening to Mary's words, Klein looked at the two men with a smile, the corners of his mouth almost twitching.

These are all friends I know very well! Well, I'm more familiar with the fetus in Alan's wife's womb, uh, this is a bit weird... Klein slandered, and waited patiently until Mary introduced Dwayne Dantès to the opposite party before being polite Greeted 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. Although Alan Kress is a cold and restrained person by nature, he no longer shows it clearly. In the past six months, everything seems to be going well, regardless of mood or self-confidence, are at their peak.

Hearing that Dantès is 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 it?

"If you want to advertise, you can come to me, whether it is the "Daily Observer" or "Tasoke Newspaper", I can get preferential prices."

While speaking, Mike squeezed his eyes, indicating that he was joking.

You reporter who always carries multiple copies of fake documents... Why didn't you tell Sherlock Moriarty before that you could get a discounted advertising space? Look down on the big detective, right? Klein slandered a few words before exchanging business cards with the other party:

"I've always had a need for that."

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

"I had an illness some time ago, and I just recovered not long ago, so I really understand the importance of a doctor."

"I'm a surgeon, I don't think you would like to see me too much." Allen said so, but still took the business card.

No, I really want to see you, and I even want to attend your child's birth party... Klein muttered something, deliberately diverted the topic to the medical field, and chatted quite well with Alan and Mike.

He had been worrying about how to get close to Alan and reestablish contact with a certain fetus. After all, the origami crane would be broken at any time, and it might not be used even once, and it was very difficult for Sherlock Moriarty to appear in Backlund openly and A house call, let alone a birth party.

It's okay now, with Madam Mary's introduction, I can get acquainted with Alan very naturally. At that time, I will definitely be invited, hehe, maybe I can be the godfather of "Mercury Snake", after all People who believe in goddesses...Will this make a certain fetus angry... Be cautious, I will definitely not take the initiative to suggest if Alan doesn't mention it... Klein thought happily.

He restrained himself professionally, and didn't show too much enthusiasm at the first time. He chatted briefly, and then followed Mary to meet other guests.

During this process, Klein didn't forget to fetch food and drinks, and seemed to be well adapted to this environment.

After walking around, Mary stopped and said after deliberation:

"This is all my friends."

It means that the people over there are not invited, and it also means 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, is competing with you for control of the Coim Company?"

Mary was silent for two seconds and said:

"Baron Syndras and his friends, they want to push Coim Company to the stock exchange and earn sky-high profits from it. They don't care how the company develops in the future."

Baron Syndras, one of the richest people in Loen, a banker, factory owner, and big businessman who became an aristocrat by donating to the Conservative Party... His position is a bit vague, although he obtained the title through the Conservative Party , but sympathizes with businessmen and is close to the New Party... Klein thought for a while, then smiled and asked:

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

Madam Mary smiled bitterly and said:

"Mr. Hall does not want to be involved in this matter. He said that he is the chief secretary of the Royal Air Pollution Investigation Committee and cannot be involved in commercial activities related to anthracite and charcoal."

A gentleman who is really interested in politics... However, he probably doesn't want to have a bad relationship with Baron Syndras... Hehe, if I had chosen another butler before, I should have established a relationship with Baron Syndras now... He is so rich, if he really wants to pay a premium, I can't afford it... Heh, will there be a plot where he takes money to kill me... Klein didn't ask any more questions, but instead said:

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

Seeing that Dwayne Dantès didn't back down directly, Mary said gratefully:

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

Klein smiled and didn't promise anything. After the cold meal was over, he got into his high-end four-wheeled carriage and returned to the North District.

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

"Turn to St. Samuel's Church."

The last time there was a change in the church and it subsided immediately, he still couldn't find a definite answer, which made him have to consider whether it was time to find a chance to contact the inner watchman.

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

How to get in touch? In that environment, even chatting seemed noisy... and being too deliberate would easily attract suspicion... Klein frowned slightly, and decided to observe first, and then think of a solution.

The carriage didn't change direction, and it still drove towards Boklund Street, but it didn't stop there, and passed directly.

Klein in the carriage closed his eyes to calm down his sudden nervousness.
