Chapter 495: Taking Advantage of Others

Viscount Yanes was very low-key. He only brought a few followers with him when he took office, and he didn't even notify the customs.

After all, although Commissioner Andrew resigned because of the tax case, he was still the second uncle of His Majesty.

As an outsider, it's better to be wise.

Besides, his son is the Minister of the Imperial Navy. Not only is he in a high position, but he also has a close relationship with the customs.

If he really offends him, it will be annoying enough to find some trouble in the future.

So after Viscount Yanes found someone to stay, he first handed Andrew a visiting card.

He only visited in person after making an appointment.

Andrew has been in a very bad mood recently. It's really hard to describe the feeling of losing power.

This is because he is the second uncle of the emperor. Otherwise, it would be even more uncomfortable if there were too many people who took advantage of his misfortune.

When Yanes visited today, he immediately received him with a dark face.

Yanes had expected it long ago. If the handover was handled in a fair and impartial manner, he believed that Andrew's attitude would definitely be much better.

According to the information he collected, this person is definitely someone who considers his nephew the emperor and will definitely not embarrass the next emperor in official affairs.

However, if he visits privately, the other party's attitude will not be so taboo.

However, the black face is good. Yanes wishes Andrew would slap him twice. After slapping his left cheek, he will stretch out his right cheek for Andrew to slap again.

It's not that he is a slut. This kind of opportunity to establish a personal relationship in private, let alone a bad attitude, even if he beats himself up, what's wrong?

Beating himself, it's just a pain in the face, but I beat someone's son and pay for it. You Adrian, you should be more polite to me in the future, right?

However, Andrew disappointed him. Although he had a black face, he didn't reach the point of taking action.

Just looking at his successor, he was so angry that he said sarcastically: "Is Commissioner Yanes so impatient to let me hand over the power?"

"Commissioner Andrew, you misunderstood. I came to ask you for advice. You are an old expert in this area. I am a novice and need your guidance." Yanes said respectfully.

Seeing that he was so humble, Andrew couldn't continue to be cold.

"I am an old man, and a bunch of corrupt officials have been implicated under my hands. What are you learning from me? How to be deceived?"

Yanes said seriously: "What are you talking about, Commissioner? People are greedy, is it your fault?

These rats are the best at scheming and cheating.

How can you blame it on you? I came here privately just to learn from you to sit in the customs and collect taxes for the empire."

Yanes kept talking, but Andrew was not fooled by him.

What kind of people has Andrew not seen in these years?

The businessmen with eloquence and the officials with cunning and cunning, they are all puppets in his hands.

If he was deceived by Yanes with a few words, he might as well find a rope to hang himself.

"I think you are quite good at scheming, and you have come to me, an old man. Tell me... how do you plan to be greedy after taking office?" Andrew sneered.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely feel ashamed if his thoughts were exposed.

But who is Viscount Yanes?

At the beginning, he also persuaded a large number of nobles of the Holy Cross Kingdom to surrender with his eloquence. If he was not thick-skinned enough, he would have been chopped to death.

After several times of pulling like this, Andrew lost his temper.

He has seen many people who are good at scheming, but there are not many who are so thick-skinned.

He is thick-skinned and scheming, so he understands why his nephew sent this guy here.

This is a talent!

In the end, Andrew was entangled and had no choice. Yanes seemed not to understand what he meant after serving tea several times.

The key is that you, Yanes, are shameless, but I, Andrew, am not. I am the uncle of the Great Xia Emperor, the earl of the Empire, and an important official of the Customs. I have to have face!

So, Andrew said helplessly: "Tomorrow, tomorrow you will come directly to the Customs. I will take you for a few days to hand over. I will make you familiar with the procedures."

"Okay!" When Yanes heard that his goal had been achieved, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "It's getting late, you don't have to keep me for dinner, I'm leaving first."

Andrew opened his mouth and wanted to spit on his face, but he was afraid that he would rely on him and really get a free dinner before leaving, so he endured it.

He didn't lack that meal, but he was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, this guy would make his blood pressure rise.

Yanes went out respectfully, and then he straightened his back. It was really uncomfortable to pretend to be a grandson.

However, there were not many people in the entire empire who were qualified for him to pretend to be a grandson.

Most of the time, he, Viscount Yanes, was still a grandfather.

After leaving Andrew's mansion, Yanes got on the carriage and ordered directly: "Let's go eat, find the biggest hotel, let me see the characteristics of Port Degen."

The carriage started slowly and took Yanes straight to the local hotel.

For Yanes, the extravagance is just a slightly special experience, even if it is day and night.

As the largest port on the coast, everything in Port Degen is naturally extraordinary.

All the latest technologies are always put into practice here.

If the sign is covered and Derek comes here, he might think he has returned to the 2000s in his previous life.

Colorful ribbon lights, elevators, revolving glass doors, and large glass exterior walls.

The most advanced technology and aesthetics of this era can be found in this city.

Compared to the more political atmosphere of Plan City, Port Degen is a real commercial capital.

Even though Viscount Yanes was used to seeing big scenes, this newly-landed hotel was his first time seeing it.

He stood in front of the hotel, looked up, and sighed: "It wasn't as beautiful when I came here three years ago."

Speaking of which, his family's fiefdom is closer to Port Degen.

However, since the centralization of power, and even a joke of rebellion, he rarely returned to his fiefdom, and honestly served as his central official in Plan City.

Fortunately, this thought was finally rewarded.

Viscount Yanes stood in front of the restaurant, confused for a while.

"Hey, Director Yanes?"

Suddenly a familiar voice woke Yanes up, and then he saw Director Smith, who looked surprised, walking quickly.

Yanes subconsciously narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: "Is this guy following me?"

As a master of scheming, he would inevitably put himself in the other party's perspective.

But seeing a long line of people behind Director Smith, Yanes felt that he might have thought too much.

Sure enough, after chatting for a while, they found out that today was the celebration dinner of the Port Degan Power Bureau.

After declining Smith's invitation, Yanes found a private room and sat down.
