I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

"Gui'an, Your Excellency the Duke."

"Your Ann, Miss Noble."

The girl's brown hair is curly, her face is covered with pink, white and red fashion makeup, her pair of brown eyes are quiet and gentle, her eyelashes are fluttering and sparkling, and her eyes are bright and bright, as if she can talk.

"Your eyes are beautiful." Lucien complimented politely, alleviating the embarrassment of the two holding hands and looking at each other in the dance music.

Lucien didn't know what the rules were in the previous world, but in this world's dance parties, dancing is the default social link - holding hands and facing each other is just suitable for talking softly, and each pair of dance partners is separated by a distance to protect the privacy of each other's conversation , how to gracefully maintain this social distance on the dance floor is also an important part of the aristocratic course.

Corresponding to this social link, if Lucien and Miss Noble are really silent until the end, they will be considered rude and insulting to a lady, not to draw closer but to form an enemy up.

Lucien started talking, and Miss Noble immediately followed up. She blinked at Lucien and smiled, "Do you know that people will only praise someone when they really can't find any good points?" The girl has beautiful eyes."

"This is really the first time I've heard of it." Lucien looked at her sincerely, "Generally in the imperial capital, if we have nothing to say, we would praise her for being cute."

"Of course, I swear this sentence is not perfunctory, my lovely lady."

The girl was coaxed by him to chuckle, "You can really talk," her skirt swayed and bloomed like flowers on the dance floor, "I must have attracted many girls to you before."

Lucien raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a surprised expression of "Why do you think so", and showing a bit of self-conscious embarrassment, "You also know that my health is not very good, and the prom is not good for me. It's a bit difficult to say." He explained to Miss Noble, "And if my two elder brothers and those two Highnesses were here, you probably wouldn't be able to see me."

There can be more than a dozen dances a day in the imperial capital. To a certain extent, participating in and holding banquets and dances is also the daily work of nobles. However, this kind of social occasion is also equivalent to a blind date meeting for single men and women. Lucien has always been very Be self-aware and stay out of the way.

As far as his physical condition is concerned, it’s not bad to be able to live a good life. Lucien is really thankful for the physical work of passing on the family line. Besides, his two outstanding brothers are responsible for the continuation of the royal bloodline. Taking it back, although Lucien is not sure about his sexuality, he is sure that he will never be a good husband.

Then why bother to harm other people's little girls.

Therefore, due to Lucien's own passive sabotage and the ambiguous attitude of his cheap father and brother, the marriage that he should have decided long ago has been put on hold indefinitely.

"Speaking of which, I still have to thank you."

Miss Noble said so suddenly, and the small high heels of the leather shoes made a light and crisp sound on the floor—the heels of these shoes were much lower than those of the ladies present, taking care of Lucien's not-so-optimistic height.

"My fiancé, Craigie... Ah, you may not be very clear about this matter, let me think about how to say it..." The girl mentioned her fiancé generously, with no trace of sweet and shy love on her face, "Originally My father would never approve of this marriage. I am the only child in the family. If I want to inherit the title and property, I will never marry into another family. Craigie is a relative of Uncle Levin Furner. That fool always wants Relying on my uncle to make some business, and not willing to marry me obediently——ah, I cried several times because of this matter, and I wanted to go to the temple to serve the gods with a white scarf and forget it.”

"And at this time, thank God for your presence." Miss Noble suddenly took a step closer to Lucien, so close that Lucien could smell the faint fragrance of her body.

She didn't sprinkle the floral fragrance on her skirt like ordinary ladies and ladies, but only smeared it on the side of her neck, which was as light and long-lasting as body fragrance.

"Uncle Levin Furner, whom we loved and respected, has left us forever." Miss Noble whispered to the dance music, "I have to comfort poor Craigie and tell him that Craigie Noble The name is just as nice, and he can still talk to people at the tea party salon, or go shopping for those expensive dresses and gorgeous accessories—man, just be my husband beautifully."

"So I thought, I have to thank you." The melodious dance came to an end, and Miss Noble let go of Lucien's hand and took a half step back, gracefully lifting her skirt to salute, "Kasnaya Noble, to Your sincere thanks."

Lucien bowed back and said with a smile, "I also want to thank you for your help, Miss Kasnaya."

When he killed Levin Furner, he prepared Plan B to welcome the counterattack of the local nobles, but there was no trouble. The Viscount Noble also gritted his teeth and reconciled with him. force.

Kasnaya walked back to her father with her skirt in her hand, and smiled as she took the arm of the young man standing beside Viscount Noble.Lucien guessed that it should be her fiancé, Craigie, tall and handsome, with a lovely frivolity.

If Lucien was also the only daughter of a nobleman who wanted to inherit the title and property, he thought he would also choose such a beautiful idiot as her husband.

It seems that when he is free, he can invite Kasnaya to have a cup of tea to get acquainted, or let Lawrence and the others get acquainted with that Mr. Craigie.In Lucien's Velvet development plan, there are still many places that need these local nobles, and things like pillow wind are not only useful to men, but also to women—especially confident and smart women, it will only be more useful.

After the opening dance, Lucien retreated to the outside of the dance floor, confident in his physical strength.Although the roads and docks were built and a processing plant was built, his physical condition has improved a lot with the increase in urban construction, but it is only the battery life of a dance, no matter how much he has, he will not have the strength to keep up with the other dancers at the dance. The guests talked.

The people in charge of the major chambers of commerce - almost the same group of guests that Pirlo had invited before - were the focus of Lucien's hard work on the opening ball.Everyone is holding wine glasses and Lucien is holding fruit juice. He first apologizes politely for his inability to drink due to physical reasons. After toasting, he can talk about the tax rate of the processing plant's product Velvet in a friendly manner, and bring a few words about the processing plant's shipment volume. Chamber of Commerce sales channels.

The drunken chat at the dance party does not need to be so detailed. No one has yet set the bottom line for the cooperation with only one shadow.As for the more detailed content, it is a matter for the people below to negotiate and discuss. This business needs to understand the situation well and test each other for a few rounds before they have the opportunity to shake hands and hint that they can have more in-depth cooperation opportunities.

Several big businessmen still held their dance partners in their arms, with beautiful faces and plump bodies, and they spun around in their topics delicately.They are social butterflies arranged by Pirlo-don't get me wrong, there is no flesh and blood business, and they are invited to decorate the appearance and enliven the atmosphere.

Dalton could act as an introducer for Lucien and these businessmen, but he is not suitable for that role. Besides, compared to the five big and three thick men, everyone prefers a good-looking young lady to accompany them. Pirlo can find all She is a local girl from Velvet, who is familiar with the local situation and can subtly steer the topic in a direction that is more beneficial to Lucien.

No matter what those businessmen thought about this exhibition, at least the opening dance made them feel extremely hot.After all, Lucien was also a duke, or a duke who came from the royal family and had a noble status. Wherever he was willing to talk to them in such a posture, he was condescending and showing full sincerity. Therefore, they unknowingly expressed their concern for this trade fair. The attention paid to it has increased a lot, and it seems that if you don’t carefully study and spend some money, you will be a little sorry for the Duke’s kindness.

After Lucien drank two rounds of wine (juice) with the merchants, Dalton led Peter, the president of the Velveer Merchant Union, into the conversation at the right time. The head of the chamber of commerce sat at a table and had to ask Peter to be a representative of the local chamber of commerce and yell before the fair started.

Peter was very nervous, so nervous that his face was trembling a little, but with the lord on the left and Mr. Dalton on the right, the sudden chills stopped his nervous trembling.Dalton glanced at Peter with a smile, and introduced his identity to the others. Peter immediately nodded and raised his glass with a conditioned smile, and warm and flattering phrases came out of his mouth without hesitation. .

A series of movements flowed smoothly and naturally, so proficient that it surprised the businessman who had done business with Peter before. He tentatively chatted with Peter about other topics, and Peter immediately followed his words, although the scale of the business was limited. Shallow, but also improved a lot than the little businessman I saw before.

In this way, we can really consider more cooperation.

The few businessmen who came up with this idea naturally didn't know. In order to achieve such an effect, Peter was locked in a small dark room by Doton and trained for three full days day and night.

A mediocre talent like Peter is not talented enough, so he can only rely on hard work to make up for it. Since there is no way to achieve the ease of gaining favorability like Dawton Lucien and the others, he has to try all the branch lines and recite them.

These businessmen are all Dalton's friends, what they like, what they are interested in, and what topics they talk about. Dalton can probably figure it out after careful analysis. Based on these information and Peter's actual situation, he made a thick list for Peter. Compile the standard answers, stare at him to memorize and correct his tone sentence by sentence, and practice repeatedly until Peter can open his mouth by conditioned reflex.

Sufficient efforts bring great rewards. At the exhibition on the second day, the heads of the chamber of commerce, who were only planning to ask the people below to show off, came to join in person, and the charming courtesans at the dance transformed into They received a thoughtful escort and guide, combed their long hair, made up dignifiedly, and brought them into the tent venue with sweet smiles.

It was so cold outside that it made people shiver, but inside it was as warm as spring. When the curtain of the tent was lifted, the warm wind blowing in the face made people sigh comfortably, alleviating a little bit of displeasure blown by the cold wind.

Cold weather is more likely to affect the mood than hot weather. If it is too hot, it will make people lose patience. If it is too cold, it will easily cause strong negative emotions. Let alone discussing business, if there is a slight problem, they may turn their faces immediately, or even cold. This incident itself will become a reason for poor hospitality, and everyone just wants to finish work quickly and go back to be warm.

The venue was very warm, so another effect was produced—it was too cold outside, which made people subconsciously want to hang out in the venue and stay for a while, and go outside later to blow the cold wind.

And if you go shopping more, stay longer, and take a look at the exhibits on the booth, you don't need to be solicited by the merchants on the booth, and the business will come to you by itself.
