Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 502 The Eldest Young Master of the Lake Family

The Lloyds Building, which was completed a few years ago, has now become a landmark building in the City of London.

This architectural steel giant with a "steampunk" style is known to everyone in London today.

But what few people know is that this building has actually changed owners not long ago. Today's Lloyds Building belongs to the Lake Group, which is mainly engaged in the cosmetics business, but loves the newspaper business.

As for how the little-known Lake Group developed to the point where it was able to establish itself in the City of London in just two years, the story in it can probably be written into a business war novel with several million words.

Mr. Charles Lake, the bright face of the Lake Group, has become the talk of the financial street elites after dinner. After all, it is no secret that this gentleman was a down-and-out writer two years ago.

People are even more curious about the Lake family behind it, but unfortunately they can't find any clues.

Similarly, it is even more impossible for them to know that the Lloyd's Building, which represents human's fantasy of future technology, has been completely remodeled inside, in a very unscientific way.

"Connor, I heard that you dated the little princess from the Windsor family?"

"Camilla, facing your nephew whom you haven't seen for a long time, don't you just think of asking this kind of boring gossip?"

"Don't be shy~ Your aunt and I also come here at this age. If I'm happy, maybe I can teach you some tricks to please your girlfriend~"

".I do not need."

Connor pushed away his aunt Camilla who was trying to hook up with him, and turned his gaze out of the window. What caught his eyes was the busy city of London.

At this time, Connor was standing on the top floor of the Lloyd Building. Although this building was not famous for its height, it was still enough to overlook the current city of London.

"I thought that buying a building at home meant buying a new store in Diagon Alley." Connor looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling a little complicated.

"Haha! Didn't expect that! I told my sister not to tell you first! Surprised!" Camilla finally managed to wrap her arms around Connor's neck, and said with a hearty smile:
"This is the building that belongs to our wizards! The dilapidated house in your family is still a bit inferior! I spent a lot of money to invite the master of space magic from the United States to come here to design and renovate it myself!"

"Do you know the Magic Congress of America? It is the Magic Congress built in the Woolworth Building. This is the same design as that one! Isn't it cool!"

"." Connor had to admit that the [Lake Building] renovated by Camilla was very in line with his wishes.

This Lake Building converted from a Muggle building is a composite space based on the original building. If you enter through the main entrance normally, you will arrive at the newly moved headquarters of Lake Company, but if you walk through the magic door, It was another magical high-rise that entered.

The two spaces that overlap each other without interfering with each other belong to the kind of very advanced space magic that requires several wizards to cast spells together.

The Magic Congress of the United States, Platform Nine and Three Quarters, and the House of Requirement all use this kind of architectural structure. Thinking about it carefully, the things wizards can do are really outrageous.

The place where Connor is standing now belongs to the roof of the Lake Building, and the location of the space coincides with the office of the president of the Lloyd Building, so what he sees from the window is the city view of London.

Until this time, Connor had the real feeling that "I am the kind of big capitalist who stands on the top of a skyscraper and watches the night view of the city outside the window and tastes red wine".

Unknowingly, Connor's thoughts changed from "I know my family is rich" to "So my family is so rich".

To be honest, Connor has lived in the wizarding world since he was a child, and his concept of money in the Muggle world is very vague. Now that he came back to his senses, he realized that he had long since become the child of the rich family that he once envied. Yes.
Although Connor himself is not very concerned about making money in the Muggle world, he just provided the principal (the by-product of Weasley's potion) and ideas (comic newspapers and magazines), but his teammates are too good, Charles Obviously, he has a bit of talent in business, and he got rich by accident.

Thinking about it this way, going to the Muggle world by myself can still be a rich second generation. It's strange to think about it.

"Okay, what did my grandfather ask me to do with you? You can't just chat here, can you?"

Connor sighed, as expected, on the second day of Christmas vacation, he was assigned to be Camilla's attendant.

Thinking that I am just a naive and romantic boy under the age of 15, I am forced to enter the world of adults, to know the cruelty of this world, and to peep at the filth of this society. Is all this a distortion of human nature or morality? of
"Stinky boy!" Camilla clamped Connor's neck and poked his hair fiercely:

"Come and play with me, it's better than you staying at home and not moving at all, right? What is the energetic guy doing hiding at home all day long? Don't waste your youth on your youth, and you will gain weight if you don't exercise for too long!"

"I exercise well every day, okay?" Connor struggled weakly. Of course, his so-called exercise refers to his ancestral "Cultivation of Immortals" method. He has always had the two Chinese magics left by Daddy Cheap Those who insist on "cultivation", although the effect is not very ideal (referring to the fantasy of becoming a fairy), but the health-preserving effect of strengthening the body is indeed leveraged.

"Okay, stop teasing you, and get down to business."

Camilla let go of Connor, straightened his collar, and said, "I'm in charge of the export business of our products now, you know that?"

"so what"

Now that the Lake family's business is getting bigger and bigger, the most important market is no longer the three-acre land in the UK. Camilla's ability is stronger than that of Flora and Elena, and her grandfather is also very relieved to put the most important Leave the work to her.

"Do you know how busy I am every day? I have to see this and that every day, and fly around the world from time to time. I finally come back for a holiday, and there are still a lot of documents to be approved! I am fed up with this kind of life!"

Camilla first yelled and cursed, portraying herself as a social animal with the 007 working system, and sold it badly. When Connor showed a speechless expression, she patted Connor on the shoulder solemnly, and said :
"So, Connor, you should come to help poor aunt, right?"

"." Connor pressed the center of his eyebrows vigorously, trying to filter out this bunch of useless junk messages, "Isn't it just that I was sent to be your follower?"

"So Connor, you agreed to help, right? Connor is such an excellent kid, he will definitely solve everything with ease!"

".Can't you just assign tasks to me? Are there any detours? Can I not help?"

"Great! I knew that nothing would trouble you, Connor!" Camilla clapped her hands together and smiled brightly.

Connor instinctively realized that something was wrong, as if something bad was about to happen, but he had no way out.

Camilla walked out of the room holding Connor's hand, and said happily: "There will be a small reception downstairs tonight, and I will attend with Connor and you on behalf of the Lake family. Connor, you must behave well, our It’s up to you to make more or less money in business~”

"No, wait a minute, you want me to help you negotiate business? I'm not good at this."

Camilla smiled mysteriously: "No, no, just leave the business to me, Connor, just listen and study."

"Then I."

"Connor, your task is to get rid of the daughters of those big bosses!"

"?"

"Those who came with their daughters and sisters, the magic gentry from all over the world came for you, Connor. I heard that most of them are your female fans of Connor."

"??"

"There are also some aunts and aunts who like you, Connor, and I will trouble you to deal with them. It would be the best if you can fascinate them! Our family will definitely make a lot of money!"

"???"

"There's no need for you, Connor, to sacrifice your appearance. It's just a play on the occasion. Your little girlfriend won't have any objections?"

".I...Can I not go? I suddenly remembered that I still have a few important experiments that I haven't done yet."

"No—you can! Connor, you just agreed very simply, how can you go back on your word?!"

"."

We still don't know what happened to Connor during the Christmas break before his birthday.
