Boyd chose to hide in a corner and silently observe the women on the dance floor. In a sense, his behavior was a bit perverted.

Angela and Dimo ​​fell into the temptation of delicious food and the other fell into the temptation of fine wine.

Robson, a handsome boy, has been surrounded by ladies. The folk customs of Kosolk are open. Ladies can not only communicate freely in social situations, but also take the initiative to strike up conversations with gentlemen, especially those who are married to older ladies with high status. We like this kind of occasion very much, and often after chatting for less than 2 hours, we will take the initiative to invite the man we like to go to the room to drink red wine.

Robson, a boy who looked very shy and had never touched a woman, was their favorite.

Robson, whose ears were red, cheeks were red, and his whole body was starting to smoke, suspected that like Boyd, he would suffer from gynophobia.

It wasn't until Angela came to his rescue that the boy was freed from those turbulent chest attacks.

The boy could finally breathe fresh air, and his face slowly returned to its normal color. He was very grateful to Angela.

"Thank you, thank you, Angela."

"You're welcome, you are the newcomer and I am the senior. I should take care of you."

The petite and cute Angela said seriously that she is a person who wholeheartedly wants to be a big sister, but unfortunately her height does not allow it.

In Robson, she found a long-lost sense of accomplishment.

If Robson is willing to follow her and be her little brother, she will show off to Dimo ​​for two or three months.

Even though she already has a lot of insect brethren, this doesn't satisfy her.

After all, those insects don't clap their hands and praise her, and follow her behind and say,

‘Sister Angela, you are really amazing. ’

Locke and Sigurd had already arrived next to Madam Malvina and Lucy. There were two or three noble ladies beside them. They all looked ordinary but had very good skin.

The tight bra can squeeze the original A to B, the slender waist, the plump bust, and the skirt that is spread like a cake or a lantern, fully showing the graceful figure of women, this is Rococo Characteristics of long skirts.

Although it was winter, the warm fire in the manor made people feel like they were in summer, and they would not feel cold at all. The ladies even skipped their shawls.

On Pater Street in the West End, if the ladies were dressed like this, they would have frozen to death on the street.

"Hi beautiful ladies, do you mind if we join you?"

Sigurd smiled and picked up two glasses of fruit wine from a waiter's tray and handed one to Locke.

Mrs. Malvina glanced at Sickert, and finally her eyes fell on Locke, with a shy blush on her face.

She had never seen a man as handsome as Locke. Although the men around him looked good, in comparison, she still liked the kind of boy with fair skin and handsome features.

In contrast, only a young woman in her thirties can understand Sickert's charm better.

"Little Bruce, there's not a dance you're going to miss."

Miss Judith, the female companion next to Mrs. Malvina, smiled and said that she liked men like Sickert very much. After passion, she would not pester her and ask her to give him a name.

Although Miss Judith looks ordinary, she inherited her father's title of baronet and has a large number of suitors. At the age of 20, she is still unmarried and likes to wander among various men. She is a bohemian and free-spirited woman.

"Miss Judith, long time no see."

Sigurd greeted politely, and the two of them looked at each other ambiguously, and it was clear at a glance that something wonderful had happened.

"Miss Lucy, long time no see."

Almost at the same time, Locke said this to Lucy.

Locke and Lucy were both stunned, and then everyone in the small circle showed the same expression.

Lucy's cheeks were slightly red, and she immediately waved her hands, wanting to explain to her friends,

"Mr. Locke and I don't have the kind of relationship you think. Mr. Locke helped me."

"Yes, Mr. Siegel also helped me when I was loneliest."

Judith said boldly, with a teasing Lucy smile on her face.

Unexpectedly, Miss Lucy, who has always been conservative and even had to cover the front of her dress with a large complicated shirt and was unwilling to expose any trace of her skin, would actually have trysts with others in private.

And this man is obviously not her fiancé.

"Ladies, you misunderstood. This is the third time Miss Lucy and I have met."

Locke also took the initiative to explain for the sake of Lucy's reputation.

"Has it happened three times already? Can you give it to me this time?"

Judith said with a smile.

The cheeks of the baron's wife, Lady Malvina and Lucy, turned red.

Judith's open style also made Locke slightly stunned. How could he meet the little queen of the nightclub at such a party?

"Never mind, Judith just likes to joke."

Mrs. Malvina said.

She believed that her friend Lucy was not a casual person, and she also had a good impression of Locke.

After a brief self-introduction, Sigurd and Locke officially integrated into their small circle.

In terms of communicating with women, Locke is completely inferior to the playboy Sickert. Sickert quickly made them laugh with cold jokes, and formed ambiguous relationships with Judith and Madam Malvina respectively.

When Sigurd kissed Mrs. Malvina's hand, he specially kissed her wrist, which is not advisable in etiquette textbooks, but Mrs. Malvina did not refuse, her cheeks were slightly red, and her mouth was smiling.

Locke guessed that the two of them would soon go to the back garden of the manor or a lounge to have sex.

I can't help but sigh again at the corrupt life of the upper class.

If they are men and women of the common class, they must be in love for at least three months and engaged for more than one year. The man needs to give the woman enough gifts and the woman needs to prepare enough dowry to reach this stage.

"Miss Lucy, I have a very good project, if you are willing to invest..."

Before Locke finished speaking, Lucy nodded and said, "I do."

Everyone in the small circle was slightly stunned.

"If I didn't know Lucy's character, I would even suspect that you are proposing."

Mrs. Malvina said so.

Judith also looked at Lucy suspiciously, "Locke didn't even say anything yet, but you agreed, and you said you were not in that kind of relationship."

"That's because you don't understand Locke's ability. He has a very high business talent. I believe there will be no problems with the projects he likes. Locke, how much do you want?"

Rich woman Lucy said boldly.

Locke swallowed, this is too easy to communicate with, right?

Is this a class difference?

If you are yourself, you need to at least think twice and find a third-party company or private detective to do research to determine whether the project is feasible. Finally, discuss the investment amount and shareholding to maximize your own interests.

Why did Lucy just agree? She didn’t even know what project she was going to do.

This kind of unwarranted trust surprised Locke.

"At least 4,500 kimik."

When Locke said this, Lucy was visibly relieved.

"I'll give you 5,000 kimik."

If it were any more, Lucy would have to apply to her father.

Locke was once again moved by Lucy's generosity and determined to make a fortune with her.

"Tell us what a good project it is. Seeing how generous Lucy is, I want to invest in it too."

Judith said.

Mrs. Malvina also looked at Locke curiously.

Locke explained the bicycle project to them, but he only talked about the form of the bicycle, not the prospects and future, which they needed to consider for themselves.

In fact, Locke does not need so many people to invest in shares for the time being. When the first bicycle comes out, the company's shares can rise even higher.

Only then can we maximize our own interests by conducting a second round of investment promotion.

Sure enough, the ladies showed no willingness to invest, and basically no one except Lucy was optimistic about bicycles.

"Oh, it's not dignified at all to step on it yourself."

"I still prefer the carriage, or Lucy's car."

"I must not be able to ride in such a long skirt."

Judith and the others were talking, and Mrs. Malvina was also uninterested.

Of course you can't ride it, because you are not the audience at all. This is aimed at office workers from the West to the East.

Locke cursed, with a smile on his face.

Judith looked at Lucy who was deep in thought,

"Lucy, it seems that your investment is very risky this time."

Chapter 88, Be her dog

Both Mrs. Malvina and Miss Judith believed that Lucy was lost in thought because she was disappointed after hearing that the project was a bicycle.

Locke was also a little worried whether Miss Lucy would be like these aristocratic young women and could not see the future of bicycles.

Sigurd patted Locke on the shoulder, "You still need to find a man to invest in this kind of thing. I can actually introduce you to my uncle. Oh, by the way, I have found a suitable house for you. I will take you there tomorrow. look."

"I actually found it myself."

Locke said.

"Have you moved?"

Sigurd asked in a low voice.

Locke shook his head.

Sigurd smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"You must come with me tomorrow to see it. I promise I won't let you down."

"All right."

Locke thought it was okay to take a look. Anyway, he promised to give a reply within three days, and he is still free now.

Judith looked at her friend Lucy,

"Lucy, it seems that your investment is very risky this time."

"No, I want to increase investment. I will take out all my savings and sell the two bakeries under my name to make this investment. Locke, how many shares are you willing to give me? I can't wait. "

Lucy looked at Locke excitedly.

She is different from other aristocratic ladies and ladies. Her education in business school has given her unique insight. She believes that the bicycle will be popular with 40% of the residents of Kosolk for a long time after its invention.

These 40% of residents come from the middle class of Kosolk, and also include those who are about to enter the middle class but have not yet entered.

Especially the people living in the Trey Bridge area, they cannot own their own carriages like the nobles, nor can they own expensive private cars like wealthy families like myself. They can only take horse-drawn carriages, trains and public trains. Traveling is quite inconvenient for them.

If you want to get a decent job in the East District, you have to pay a lot of transportation fees. If you give up your job in the East District, you will always have to live in the poor environment of the West District.

The Trey Bridge is like a natural barrier between the East End and the West End. If everyone owned a bicycle, the situation would be different, and more high-quality labor would flow into the East End.

Even if not many people accept the bicycles at first, they will not lack customers, and the post office will become their largest customer.

Lucy knows Mr. MacDonald, the director of the post office. He always complains that the transportation of the post office is too backward, which makes the postmen very hard day and night. If there are bicycles, the business volume of the post office can be increased by at least more than double.

"I can give you 30% of the shares."

Locke did not hide it.

Lucy nodded heavily,

"Okay, I will give you 20,000 gold and rice as an investment. I have seen our bright future, Locke, you are really sent by the goddess to save me. Not long ago, my father gave me a problem and asked me not to continue to rely on the bakery and invest in new businesses. I didn't expect you to appear."

No, you are the goddess who sent me to save me. Miss rich woman, we always get along so well.

Locke said in his heart.

"Oh my God, Lucy, are you crazy? 20,000 gold and rice is not a small amount."

Judith couldn't understand her friend's behavior. She would rather use the money to buy a comfortable private car than invest in a bicycle she had never seen.

"No, Judith, you don't see the prospect of bicycles."
