Harry Potter: Reunion with the Enemy
Chapter 50 Inference Results
Draco followed Matthew's footsteps, and with every step he took towards the Chief Whip, he felt the eyes around him focused more on him. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, everyone was paying attention to the center of power in the crowd, consciously or unconsciously.
Andre, the current chief whip of the ruling party, was standing behind the crowd with his back straight and a smile on his face, watching the hunting game unfold quietly. Even without saying a word, he was like a majestic lion without any anger.
The silver hair and the deep creases on his face like knife blades suggest that he is old, but the three-dimensional contours of his facial features and deep eyes allow people to vaguely recognize the grace of his youth.
"This is the young man I mentioned to you before." Matthew pulled Draco in front of Andre and introduced him with a look of trepidation.
"Very good...very good..." Andre turned around and looked at Draco. The chief whip was about 1.9 meters tall and looked like a giant in the crowd. "You told Matthew in advance that the emerging technology giant Smith family would announce a business marriage and merger with another electronics giant White family?"
"Then this news, together with the heavy news from the press conference, caused the stock price to soar—" Andre's voice seemed to be whispered, but his voice was extremely clear and unquestionable. "I guess you are well-informed about the business world? The White family has always been reluctant to donate money to our Prime Minister's election—"
Draco's tall stature meant that he seldom had to look up at anyone, but at this moment, the Chief Whip's astonishing height and slightly condescending, bottomless eyes caused him to feel a certain amount of psychological pressure.
He's just a Muggle.
Perhaps it was the unpredictable emotions and thoughts in those deep blue eyes that set off alarm bells deep in Draco's mind.
The news of the political marriage was discovered by accident, but it seemed that the news had aroused the interest of the Chief Whip at the moment.
The reason was... Draco was studying divination in Harry's ward, trying to figure out the exact date of his wedding.
As the deduction progressed, a large amount of data was needed to verify the accuracy of the law, so Draco substituted and tested all the samples available around him. He even carefully inquired about the detailed data and marriage time of Hermione and Ron, Bill and Fleur.
"Just think of it as an academic exchange, Granger. Please." Draco frowned as he typed the word "please", but he still clicked send. There was no other way, he really wanted to know the answer.
Perhaps the earnest words moved Hermione's sympathy. After a period of silence, Draco obtained a large string of numbers and information, and soon discovered with delight that the method of inference he had carried out was accurate.
"Your research direction is really unexpected, Malfoy." Hermione left these words at the end of the data.
"Scholars should study matters that concern the general public and write their papers on the land of England, rather than letting these studies float in the air with no one caring about the research direction except the researchers themselves." Draco replied while continuing to try to collect more data support.
"You're just having a love affair." Hermione commented succinctly and did not reply to Draco's message.
There happened to be a detailed profile on the heir of the White family in the Muggle newspaper that day. After reading it carefully, Draco also made some inferences about the marriage of the cover character. The result showed that the marriage partner's value was extremely high. Draco finally found out White's marriage partner and date one afternoon when Harry was sleeping in the ward.
That day, Draco tutored Alex in math late at night as promised, and Matthew was muttering to the same newspaper about the White family's recent new products.
"The White family has been silent for a long time and has no ambition to make progress."
Draco blurted out absentmindedly, "He's going to marry that tech giant Smith girl next week."
Alex and Matthew looked up and exchanged surprised looks. The Smith family was well-known even among Muggle families because every time they released a new product in the field of technology, it always made a splash in the media.
"How do you know?" Matthew looked away from the newspaper and widened his eyes.
"I - uh - have no comment." Draco realized that he had unconsciously mentioned the latest research data, so he just straightened his tie and passed it over lightly.
The ending was that Matthew was still thinking about this sentence when he went to work the next day. Maybe it was because Draco had made up a fake identity for him that made Matthew trust him very much, or maybe it was because Draco's noble demeanor had already fooled Matthew, or maybe it was because the stocks of the White family business had always performed well and were a good choice for long-term holding.
The bottom line is that Matthew increased the White family's holdings for his hedge fund - even though they have always stood on the opposite side of his political backer Andre.
A week later, the marriage news, press conference and acquisition and merger news were announced on the same day. Matthew made huge profits from this. Previously, the news of the two companies had been well controlled without any advance disclosure.
"Maybe this boy has close personal connections with these two families. You can try to rely on him to win over these tough guys." After making a fortune, Matthew and Andre said this when they met privately.
This is also the reason why the Chief Whip is willing to contact him at this moment.
Draco knew that the whole incident was a perfect misunderstanding, but at this moment at the hunting ground, a few minutes into this brief conversation, almost everyone's eyes shifted from the prey deer to their own faces.
Draco could only nod. "If there is anything I can do, it is at your disposal, sir."
Andre undoubtedly felt the burning gazes around him, so he didn't want to say more. He just said lightly, "My family is not in London this weekend. If you want, you can meet and talk in detail. Matthew will tell you my address." Then he left everyone behind and walked straight to where the car was parked.
"If you can gain his favor, you can also get a place in the Lakeside Club and become an important person." Matthew patted Draco on the shoulder, "You will definitely be able to demonstrate your value." Then he followed Andre's steps and left the hunting crowd.
Alex flashed back to Draco's side at this moment, and it seemed that the conversation between the adults had ended.
"Are we going to go look for brother Harry? Or has he already left?"
Draco was confused at the moment, because because of the unintentional arithmetic divination, he now had an additional task, which was to chat with the old whip named Andre on the weekend, and then tell some new lies.
The auction of another old man, Professor Eugene, will be the day after tomorrow.
Of course he knew that Harry would come back, after all, he had already calculated the wedding date.
But the return date of his fiancé, who is currently traveling around the world, is uncertain. It may be the next minute, tomorrow, or even later.
Merlin's pants, Draco felt that the task on his shoulders was becoming heavier and heavier.
