[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Meeting?

Of course Scarlett knew that Margot and Wilkes often held small meetings, and her other sister, Suellen, was also a frequent visitor in this meeting.This is also what scarlett is most dissatisfied with.She always thought that she was much smarter than Suellen, but she didn't have a part in this kind of meeting that she knew was very important?And Suellen, whom she has always looked down upon, is actually one of them?

Not to mention how uncomfortable Scarlett felt.

On more than one occasion, Scarlett lay in her bedroom, thinking sourly: "It's just that I have money. If I had that much money, I could participate."

Yes, although no one said it, but Scarlett was not an idiot, on the contrary she was an extremely sharp and intelligent person, and she would not be able to see if Suellen had money?It was Suellen and Margot who, in order to keep in line with their old friends, dressed very low-key, no more luxurious than when they first came to Atlanta. It was those supplies that ensured Scarlett’s wealthy life today, and kept her in the Today, she can still eat well, dress well and buy some new jewelry, but in terms of money, Scarlett is still inferior to her two sisters.

Scarlett knows this very well, which is why she is so frustrated.

It is true that the Hamilton family has a warehouse and a lot of supplies, but now, after paying taxes and supporting the family, unless all the debts owed by the outside are recovered, it is really not easy for the Hamilton family to purchase property.

In contrast, Margot and Suellen both own a lot of land in Atlanta, which is obvious to all in Atlanta.Not to mention that the two of them have countless black followers, how can such Margot and Suellen, Scarlet O'Hara Hamilton, a slightly shrewd Southern upper-class wife compare?

For this matter, Scarlett has actually been heartbroken for a long time.So, when Margot invited, Scarlet just raised her chin proudly and nodded.

In Scarlett's heart, she must have entered this meeting on her own, relying on her own ability, relying on her own good calculations, unlike Suellen who only took the opportunity to enter this meeting by listening to Margot.

Scarlett thought that Suellen would definitely conflict with him because of this matter, and he would definitely retort and get into trouble with Suellen again, but the fact is that the development is so unexpected.In fact, Suellen and Scarlett don't have time to fight each other later, because Margot drops a bomb and plans to start a bank in Atlanta!

Suellen was dumbfounded when she heard about it: "But Margot, didn't you say before that you don't plan to build a bank?"

Marge shook her head and said: "It was then, and now is now. I didn't plan to build a bank at that time, because I was afraid of being run by the federal government and the British. Banks are no different than others, and they value credibility the most. Once a run occurs, If customers can’t get enough currency in time, then bankruptcy is imminent. Now that we want to build a bank, the Freemasons have already recognized us. With the Freemasons behind us, we don’t have to worry about calculations from the federal government. , we only need to concentrate on dealing with customers and calculations that may come from the UK. Second, Atlanta also needs its own bank. With a bank, we can use the banking business to control all walks of life in Atlanta and control The construction progress is also in hand.”

Scarlett half understood.

Well, the south is rich in aristocrats, and there are quite a few lawyers, but accountants and bankers are not cakes in the south. These two professions are more from the north.Regarding banking business, let alone women, not many men in the south understand it.

This is also the main reason why Margot chose Scarlett.In Margot's view, Scarlett has this qualification. She is already an excellent accountant. If she is given enough opportunities, Scarlett may not be able to become an excellent actuary.

Margot hopes that Scarlett will become an excellent actuary and a shrewd banker.

So, when Scarlett asked who would be the first president of the bank, Scarlett was dumbfounded when she saw the way Margo looked at her.

"Margo, are you serious? I mean..."

Scarlett couldn't go on.

Because of the look in Margot's eyes that she couldn't refuse.

"Margo, I mean, I don't know anything about banking."

"In this regard, you can ask Rhett, he is very familiar with this. Of course, the initial capital of this bank is provided by me, Suellen and Rhett, and Ashley, I plan to let him be your deputy. .”

Hearing what Margot said, Scarlet felt a wave in his heart.

At the beginning, it seemed like yesterday that she was beaten by her younger sister to confess to Ashley and asked him to elope with her. Scarlet couldn't help but ask Margot: "You are not afraid..."

Are you not afraid that I will elope with Ashley?

"Are you like that?" It was Margo.

"Don't worry, we are worried about you, but we have full confidence in Ashley." This is Suellen.

Hearing Suellen say this, Scarlett was annoyed, but after being angry, Scarlett knew better than others that Suellen was the truth.

Scarlet loves Ashley, and most of her enthusiasm is on this man. If she has the chance to get this man, Scarlet will definitely kick her husband Charles and elope with Ashley.But she also knew very well that Ashley didn't love her. Ashley valued family and honor very much, so he would never elope with her.So all Scarlett could do was stay with this man.

Knowing that she was seen through by her sisters, Scarlett was embarrassed and painful, but thinking of being alone with Ashley for a long time, Scarlett was also happy. Although this kind of joy has the meaning of drinking poison to quench thirst, but Love is something that cannot be forced.

For a moment, Scarlett's expression kept changing.Seeing Scarlett like this, Margot and Suellen exchanged glances.

Although it was unfair to Melanie to create the opportunity for Scarlett to be alone with Ashley, everyone knew that Ashley would never develop a relationship with Scarlett that was more than friendship and etiquette.

In other words, even if an opportunity is now created for Scarlett and Ashley to have time and opportunities to be alone for a long time, Scarlett will only be disappointed in the end.

In Margo's mind, though, as long as Scarlett moves on from her crush on Ashley, it's fine to take a risk.As for Ashley, if he can't even pass this test, he is not Ashley.
