His Excellency the Count of Grandet

For the next ten minutes, Charles was thinking about this matter.

Undoubtedly, Michelle has already realized the key point, regardless of whether he betrayed the water or not—it is more beneficial to follow Count Artois than to work with them.

Needless to say, the timing was just right.

At the beginning, Michel used the famous chateau as a test, and his reaction was not enthusiastic; then, in the Christmas salon of the Tuileries Palace, the topic of their discussion was the factory, and he just took this opportunity to throw out his side. bait.

At this time, it can only be said that the two sides are even, and the means are exactly the same.But as time goes by, the situation is changing.

At the beginning of the year, the factory, which had been busy for almost a year, was finally settled and officially put into operation, which was enough to attract more investors and the same confidence.

Michelle's keen business sense is enough to make him consider cooperation.But he didn't, but he waited until now——

A murder that may have been unexpected, but through the different handling methods of the two factions, it proves the strength comparison of the two factions from the side.In the eyes of those who don't know the inside story, the royalists had the absolute upper hand in this matter; but in fact, this matter was more like a heavy hammer that had been stored for a long time, but it ended up falling on cotton.

Why did the King take two days to announce that he had agreed to the news that the Count de Caze - no, now the Duke - had resigned?Is it really just because of the situation that you will never show weakness until the last moment?

Now, the Duke of Decaz is the ambassador to the UK; why the UK and not another country?Is it really just because the atmosphere on the other side of the strait is more relaxed for people like him?

If he really knows the inside story of this matter, and has a brain capable of analyzing the meaning of the details, then no matter who it is, he will take actions similar to Michelle——

The old company is about to go bankrupt, so hurry up and switch to the new company!

In a word, if you don’t change your standing style now, it’s useless to think about standing later—everyone knows that it’s good to enjoy the shade under a big tree; but if it’s too late, there will be no place!

Thinking of this, Charles couldn't help confirming his evaluation of Michelle again——Michelle is a genius!

It's not impossible to cooperate with such a person, but they definitely can't meet the standard of heart-to-heart.Considering Victor's possible reaction to this matter, there may even be problems with basic cooperation...

Charles had a headache, and suddenly felt that this matter should be rejected.But before he could make a final decision, the knock on the door rang again.

"Master, someone wants to see you again." It was the voice of the butler, and he opened the door and entered.

"Who?" At such a time on a weekday morning, the only thing Charles could think of was Michelle who had gone and returned. "Is it Michelle again?"

Jean froze for a moment. "No, the guest said his name is Michael. His accent is British, just like what you ordered, so I..." Immediately came up to inform you.

"Quick!"

Almost instantly, Charles interrupted the butler's report.He jumped off the bed directly, accidentally pulled the wound, and immediately grinned.He figured he must have accidentally torn it a little, but he couldn't care less about that right now. "Quick, quick!" he ordered hastily, while still struggling to move towards the door, "Michael, please come up!"

The butler was taken aback by Charles' huge movement, and hurriedly reached out to help him, with obvious reproach in his tone: "You are not well yet, please lie back. I will help you bring him up!"

So when Faraday entered, what he saw was Charles sitting on the bed with a sad face. "Long time no see, dear Charles," he said, but his face was obviously a little shocked, "but what's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing serious," Charles said quickly, "I just rode for too long...don't worry about it, please sit down! I'll bring you some black tea in a while!"

Faraday nodded knowingly, found the simplest-looking square stool and sat down. "Although you said it's nothing serious, in my imagination, it's not like this when I see you again."

"What should it be like?" Charles was a little interested in the impression he had left in Faraday's mind.

Faraday opened his mouth, but in the end he only smiled: "It's not on the hospital bed anyway, it's enough for you to know that."

Having not seen each other for almost a year, the two exchanged a few pleasantries, but found that the other hadn't changed much.Coupled with hot Darjeeling black tea, the atmosphere of the conversation quickly became relaxed.

"You are passing through Paris this time, so you stopped by to see me?" Charles asked, but in fact he hoped for another answer, "Thank you for your trouble."

These words probably hit a certain point, because Faraday's originally happy and smiling face immediately darkened. "It's distraction," he said, his tone inevitably a little harsh, "but I'm afraid a more appropriate description is shelter from the limelight."

"...What happened?" Although Charles had expected it, his heart sank immediately.

Faraday clearly heard the change in tone.Because when Charles told him before, he expressed that he was welcome to come to France to study electromagnetism at any time; Divide the partner. "Bad things can be solved, but the trouble is not small."

Faraday then simply explained what happened to him.

In November, Oersted's electromagnetic induction experiment flew all over the scientific community of the entire European continent as if he had grown wings.

This discovery was epoch-making, and almost all physicists immediately started to study electromagnetic aspects.The most outstanding among them is undoubtedly Ampere, whose speed of publishing papers is no different from riding a rocket.

While attracting more people's attention to electromagnetism, it also put pressure on other researchers in the same industry.

Faraday's boss and mentor, David, succeeded the late Sir Banks in the second half of last year and became the new president of the Royal Society.He focuses on the study of chemical elements, but also does some physical experiments.After the success of Oersted's experiment, he certainly devoted more time and energy to it.

As his assistant, and because he is very interested, Faraday is also doing the same experiment.If you simply compare the time spent on research, he certainly does more than David—David has more and more entertainment, and less and less time in the laboratory.

Finally, because electromagnetism is currently the most prosperous scientific research direction, the laboratory next door is also doing research.

"I remember him," Ciel vaguely recalled when he was in the laboratory, and the people next door often came to visit. "It's called Wollaston, isn't it?"

"It's him." Faraday affirmed, and continued.

Things are normal up to here.But then it's not so good--

Because Faraday was the first to make the result.At that time, David was still on vacation in a certain country manor in Nottingham, and submitting a few days later may be preempted by others (in scientific research, the first discoverer is valuable), so he asked several colleges After receiving unanimous consent from friends in the university, they decided to submit the paper immediately without going through David.

This was originally an emergency measure, and Faraday later wrote a letter to David to explain.But after the latter learned about it, he showed a rather subtle attitude towards it——

First, there was no reply, and then the attitude was indifferent; then, rumors spread throughout the Royal Society that Faraday had plagiarized Wollaston's research results.

"I know you haven't." Charles said firmly.With Faraday's stubborn personality, he couldn't get the other party to agree to quit immediately with so much gold and promises, so how could he do such a thing?

"Thank you very much for your trust." Faraday replied.But obviously, this kind of rumor still makes him very angry. "After this came out, I showed Wollaston all my work. He also admitted that my thinking was completely different from his. David knew this too. As long as David is willing to come forward to clarify, the rumors will be self-evident. broken; but..."

Faraday's face flushed, his nose fluttered slightly, and he didn't continue talking.

But Charles understood.

David is the president of the Royal Society, and he can also be Faraday's mentor, so he is definitely an authority.As long as he said that he was willing to believe that Faraday did not plagiarize, then any rumors would be nothing.

But David just didn't comment.Here comes the problem——

"Does anyone know the specific content of your experiment?" Charles asked.Only by knowing enough details can we fabricate a rumor that can make people who don't know the inside story believe it to be true.Now that Wollaston admits that Faraday's experiment was different from his, the only thing left is...

David?

This man fabricated rumors to slander Faraday, just because Faraday did an experiment that he didn't!

Faraday could see that Charles had already guessed the correct answer. "I think you get it," he said.When the anger passed, he felt nothing but sadness. "I don't want to believe that he deliberately refused to let me be elected as a member of the society. I don't want to believe that he deliberately released such rumors, but..." He seemed to be unable to continue, and continued: "I don't know why David changed his mind. In this way, before he became the president of the Royal Society, it was obviously not..."

The facts are firmly established, so there is no need to make excuses for David, and Charles helps the other party make up for it in his heart.But these words were too poignant, and he decided not to speak out to make up for it. "So you are willing to come here? Anyway, my attitude is the same as before. But now, according to my suggestion, you should rest for a while before thinking about other things." He said sincerely.

"Thank you." Faraday nodded, then shook his head again. "But what I promised, I will do."

Well, this is a workaholic too!

Charles stared at Faraday, without speaking for a while.

David is now the president of the Royal Society, and the position is for life; Faraday stays there, and the situation will only get worse.At this time, it is definitely a much better choice to come to Paris to do research, because whether it is atmosphere or popularity, Paris leaves London behind N streets in minutes.

Speaking of which, the most suitable place for Faraday to stay in Paris is obviously...

"But I didn't see the laboratory at your place today." Faraday tried to change the subject to make the atmosphere a little easier, "Are you planning to build one?"

"It's not to make one now, but to find one now." Charles came back to his senses, "You came just in time—in two days, I have an appointment with someone to go to the French Academy of Sciences, so you should come with me."

"...French Academy of Sciences?" Faraday was instantly shocked.Will it be too fast?

Charles saw the unbelievable expression on Ra's first face, and added: "To be precise, what I want you to go to is a laboratory, which is near there."

"That sounds good." Faraday breathed a sigh of relief.While Ciel didn't mind his origins—poor, largely self-taught—it didn't mean the same for everyone else.And he is a person with strong self-esteem, he doesn't want to offend Shire's kindness, and he doesn't want to wrong his own principles.

"You don't have to worry, because I believe that you must have heard of the owner of the laboratory——Andre Ampere." Charles smiled and deliberately left this word until the end.

Faraday's expression turned into a jaw dropping in shock. "...Are you serious?" It took him a long time to confirm that the person Charles was referring to was the shiny golden name he often saw on the signature of his thesis, "I have indeed heard it, and it has been heard. But... Ampere..."

He couldn't say anything.Can such a famous physicist take a fancy to him?Will David's tragedy really not repeat itself?He originally wanted to do research on electromagnetism, but he never thought that he could do research with someone like Ampere!At least not at first!

"If you're worried about his reaction, then there's no need." Charles spread his hands to Faraday with a smile. "I can guarantee with all my possessions that if you prove to him that you are better than everyone else, he will be crazy happy! So, if you have to worry about anything, worry about your own experimental talents Let him be satisfied!"

Farah was speechless for the first moment.Not inferiority, not suspicion, but excessive surprise.

—Is there any more wonderful worry than this?Of course he can prove himself!

The author has something to say: Faraday: ... What a big bowl!There's still amps in the bowl!I jumped!

Charles: You like it, that's really wonderful~~~

Victor: God's beard!Regardless of Michelle, the love rivals across the strait have all come to the door!

Michelle: You're bumpy!The industry has been in a downturn recently, and the job-hopping army has been dispatched!
