Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

Faced with Narcissa's question, Carl did not rush to answer, but took off his greasy chef's uniform.

Revealing the clean and tidy black suit underneath, he simply adjusted his bow tie and hair, and used magic to remove the dirt on his face.

A moment later, the young cook who had just got off work turned into a handsome blond prince.

What Carl did was not meaningless, although he did not like these pure-blood nobles, their arrogant airs and rules.

But as a good young man who traveled through time, under the education of Greater China in his previous life, he also understood the importance of giving face.

Saying one thing to one person and another thing to another person, although it is hypocritical, it is indeed very practical.

So, after Carl had finished his disguise, he slowly walked up to Narcissa, took the lady's right hand in a gentlemanly and elegant manner, and gave her a polite kiss.

He immediately apologized sincerely.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please excuse me, ma'am and sir, I just came out of the house."

"Because the grandfather who just adopted me is too useless and can't even take care of himself, I want to make sure he doesn't starve to death in the house."

"So before I left, I prepared three meals for him today. I'm a little late, I hope you can forgive me."

This sincere expression of emotion, coupled with Carl's godly performance, immediately dispelled all the resentment in the hearts of the three people.

Everyone expressed their understanding, even the dog system, which gave an objective and sincere evaluation.

[Speaking ill of the principal outside and damaging his reputation will result in an additional 100 points]

"How could that be? Welcome to my roof, my distinguished guest." After Carl apologized, Lucius quickly backed down.

He immediately welcomed her, pushing Draco forward and said proudly.

"The banquet doesn't start until noon, so we can discuss it before then, but I don't think there's any need to rush into business matters."

"Draco is your classmate. Let him accompany you to visit our manor so that you can improve your relationship."

Draco, who was pushed to the front by his father, immediately perked up, pretended to be aristocratic, and bowed slightly to Carl.

She said it in a voice that sounded as mature as possible.

"Welcome, my dear classmate. Let me show you around my home and see the Malfoy family, its long history and glorious past."

After saying that, the little master quickly turned sideways and stretched out a hand towards the door. It seemed that he cared very much about the job his father gave him.

Carl did not spoil the other party's fun and followed Draco into the interior of the manor.

As soon as the two walked in, they saw the luxurious reception room. The entire reception room was a traditional medieval aristocratic-style reception room with extremely high ceilings.

The reception room is decorated with gorgeous Baroque-style decorations, with glittering gold paint and intricate carvings.

It felt like the Palace of Fontainebleau in France, and Draco was very excited. He explained it to Carl with pride on his face.

While introducing the manor and the long history of his family, he also revealed that his family had close ties with France across the ocean.

In this way, Carl followed behind Draco, watching the other party proudly but with some effort introduce to him the origin and honor of each oil painting hanging in the living room.

I have to say that Carl is a perfect listener and he is well versed in the ways of the world.

Know that when you ask someone to introduce their professional field to you, you should neither appear to be very knowledgeable nor appear to know nothing about it.

Instead, you have to understand half of it. If you know everything, what else can others introduce?

You know nothing, you don't respond to what others say, and the person introducing you will appear to have no interest.

You only need to know what others want you to know, and give them feedback in a timely manner when they mention it.

At the same time, asking questions at just the right time to satisfy the other person's vanity is the perfect performance.

Carl played the role perfectly, with his godlike performance and eloquent words.

With just a few words, he easily controlled Draco.

So much so that Draco said happily after the introduction.

"I was right about you, Mr. Hohenzollern. You are a true noble. You should not be sorted into Hufflepuff."

"You should transfer to Slytherin House, you will be respected and admired by everyone, I can assure you."

"If you have this idea, I can tell my father and he will definitely help you. He is the director of our school."

Looking at Draco's excited look, Carl just smiled but did not directly refuse him.

After all, he still needs the other party to stay in Slytherin College and promote his products. This college is his big customer.

So he pretended to be sorry and said.

"I think this is unnecessary. Hufflepuff House also has its own advantages that you don't know about."

"I'm very happy there, so I won't bother your father."

After saying that, he paused deliberately, pretending that he had just remembered something, and took out a beautifully packaged small box from his pocket and handed it over.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to give you this. I like the gold pocket watch you gave me very much, so this is your gift."

"I think you'll like it, too."

Draco was a little disappointed when he first heard that Carl was unwilling to leave Hufflepuff, but now he saw the other party take out the gift for him.

He instantly put his disappointment behind him, took the gift and opened it. When he saw what was inside, his eyes lit up instantly.

It was a set of specially crafted Hearthstone cards, and there was nothing special about them.

But Carl specially made a set of card backs for him, and the overall color of the card backs was the most luxurious and pretentious gold.

However, the most important point is the exclusive pattern on the back of the card, which uses the Malfoy family crest.

Carl, who knows that the two main driving forces of human beings are HS and pretense, this gift is just right.

Draco took the proud little dragon in front of him, jumped up happily with the exclusive cards in his hand, and said ecstatically.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Fuhensoren. This gift is so precious. I will definitely cherish it."

"You are my best friend."

Hearing this, Carl just smiled, secretly signaled Draco not to be so excited, and kept winking at him.

Draco really received the signal, took several deep breaths, suppressed his excitement, and looked towards the second floor with some fear.

Sure enough, his father had just walked out of the study door.

Lucius walked down the stairs slowly and came in front of the two of them. He looked at Draco first and said.

"It seems that you have taken good care of our guests. I am very proud of you. Go and help your mother, the most distinguished guest."

“We have to provide the food ourselves.”

Hearing this, Draco happily bowed deeply to his father, and at the same time secretly gave Carl a look of thanks.

He ran to the kitchen, and after his figure disappeared, Lucius looked at Carl and spoke in a very respectful tone.

"Let's go, Mr. Hohenzollern. The guest you asked me to find has arrived."
