Flowers, Swords and France

After hearing her brother's explanation of why he was so respectful to Louis Pasteur, Fran, who had been deeply moved by his good intentions, finally couldn't bear it anymore and leaned over from this end of the sofa, and then continued straight away. He hugged his brother.

She hugged her tightly, as if she wanted to pour out all the gratitude and love in her heart.

"Silly boy."

Charles could only smile bitterly, and then kissed her cheek, feeling the warmth contained in the fragrance.

What made Fran so excited was that she saw from Ciel's actions that he was working hard to plan for the future - for the future of two people, for the rose-colored future that she had been looking forward to for almost her whole life.

He wants to use every means to improve his reputation, so that he can give favors to the public, so that the public will no longer be malicious towards him, let alone believe the "rumors" about him - and in this kind of situation Under the circumstances, the two of them were able to get the most free space to move, so that she could get what she wanted.

Of course, all this still depends on her trying her best to keep a low profile and not let herself be exposed in front of others, but in her opinion, this kind of effort is not worth mentioning at all, and it cannot be compared with the effort and energy spent by her brother.

She just wanted to follow him and be a planet obscured by the sun. As for revealing herself to others... what was the point?

Just like when she met her brother, she hugged him hard, and the two of them hugged each other, as if time had been frozen.

"Okay, can you let go now?" After a long time, Charles stroked her cheek, "Don't let others see the joke..."

"Tell me, sir...what do you need me to do?" Fran stayed in his arms, showing no intention of letting go of him. "Is there anything I can do? Please, tell me! I I can’t bear to watch you work for our future alone! I have to do everything for you... so please use me!”

What a loyal person! Maybe that's why she is so unconditionally loyal to me.

Such passionate words moved Charles so much that he couldn't help but stroke her hair again.

In the past, he had been unwilling to let his sister participate in his career, for fear that the sludge of the world would fall on the corners of her white skirt, but now he was infected by this confession, and even felt that it was inappropriate to waste this loyalty. things.

That's right, she is not an angel, she is a person who stays by my side, a living person. Now, what else can I not share with her?

"I'm very happy to have someone as loyal as you by my side, really." He held Fran's arms, lifted her up, and then looked into her blue eyes. "So, please work harder in the future and continue to serve me."

"Where?" Fran was overjoyed.

"All along, you have been carrying out the tasks I assigned you seriously and responsibly. Really, I like your seriousness more than your intelligence, because many things cannot be done with a brain, but with a passionate heart." Heart. I'm very happy that you get along well with Mr. Schneider, and he praises your enthusiasm..." Charles couldn't help but smile as he said, "To be honest, he I'm afraid he was always worried about us before, worried that we would use our power to embezzle his property, and worried that you were ignorant and disrupting his work. But now, through your efforts, he no longer worries about both things. I think it is a great thing to get our help. It is your credit to clarify his misunderstanding and make him our ally. I am very grateful to you."

"Yeah, yeah!" Fran blinked and nodded repeatedly. It was obvious that she greatly appreciated her brother's praise and was waiting for the next step.

"During this period, you have gained a lot of experience working with him and received a lot of help from him. I saw from your letter that you cooperated well with him in previous meetings. Completely carried out my intention.”

"Of course, we have reviewed each other's lines before, and we only held the meeting together after making sure everything was perfect." Thinking of her previous performance in that meeting, Fran felt very proud and regarded it as a "Fortunately, Mr. Schneider was also very positive about our idea, so he cooperated with us so much."

"Let him become an industrial giant with monopoly qualifications and one of the most powerful industrialists in our country. Of course he will be very happy. In fact, he can't ask for it..." Charles certainly knows why Mr. Schneider is so active in doing things for himself. , so he just smiled mockingly, "But his help is always a good thing, and I will thank him."

In order to promote the monopoly of the railway industry, Charles took advantage of the upcoming war to deliberately implement the policy of not continuing to build railways for the time being, strangulating the throats of almost all suppliers and industrial enterprises related to railways, and then through this The harsh future crisis forced these businessmen to follow his pre-set track and accept financial assistance from Baron de Beauvain. In essence, he used money to build barriers and completely blocked other forces from entering his territory. outside.

However, with such a huge benefit, whether from practical considerations or from the outside world's perception, he certainly cannot swallow it up in one go. He must recruit some other people to help him build this huge money empire. The Baron is one, Ou Jen Schneider is one too.

As famous industrialists in history, the Schneider brothers built a very large industrial enterprise through their own efforts, established an unshakable position in the industrial and commercial circles and even the political circles, and allowed this corporate empire to continue into the 21st century, so Xia Xia I will not question their ability and strength at all, and will take them as my help.

He cannot swallow everything, nor does he want to try to swallow everything. As long as he is willing to be in his inferior position, he is willing to accept those who are talented.

After all his previous suppressions, Eugene Schneider, who has not yet fully matured, naturally does not have the generosity of a big plutocrat in the future. After several years of struggle, he finally painfully chose to surrender to His Excellency Minister Treville. After he surrendered, Charles did not pursue the victory. Instead, he treated him magnanimously, incorporated him into his own system, and used government orders to make Schneider The family business flourished again - it was for this reason that Eugene Schneider began to give up his resistance and rejection of the Treville family, accepted Charles's instructions, and willingly served his plan, because They know that as long as they serve the Treville family's grand plan, they will undoubtedly have a very prominent position in this huge money empire in the future.

That's why Eugene Schneider worked so hard with Fran, using his prestige and reputation in front of others to constantly drive others to obey the minister's instructions, and finally allowed Charles' plan to be successfully completed.

"Mr. Schneider is indeed a very good person. He is a very powerful inventor and extremely loyal to his family. He also gave me a lot of help so that I can easily complete your task." Fran said to Eugene - Pierre also had a very good impression, "I am very happy to be able to work with such people and be able to help them."

"Well, now I think you have accumulated enough experience to engage in more important work." Charles replied with a smile. "Since you can make Mr. Schneider praise you so much, then you can also make a group of other people praise you full of praise - and even this is easier..."

Of course Fran could understand her brother's subtext. She couldn't help but open her eyes wide, "You mean to let me..."

"Yes, you can join the Railway Federation now and help me guard this organization." Charles said his plan, "Originally, this was my plan, but seeing how enthusiastic you are, I can't bear to delay it any longer. "

"This is great!" Seeing that what she expected came true, Fran immediately cheered, but soon she hesitated a little, "Is there no problem with Baron de Beauvain? He...maybe You still have some opinions about me..."

"It was true in the past... or it still is true now. After all, you did such a horrific thing." Charles patted her cheek, as if reproaching her for her past absurdities, "But he is a realistic person. , he will not always be brooding about the past, not to mention that he still needs our cooperation and help very much now..."

"I'm really grateful for his magnanimity..." Fran was obviously deeply moved and lowered her head. "I hope I can have the opportunity to apologize to him in person and do everything I can to compensate for my mistakes..."

If I hadn't done those stupid things, would I still be here today?

Although her face was full of guilt and regret, she asked this in her heart.

She has no good feelings towards the Baron's family, and she has no regrets about the death of the Baron's son. Even now, she does not regret what she did before.

After all, she felt that she only had to be responsible for one person in this world, and she didn't have to feel sorry for other people no matter what.

Ever since her brother told her what happened in Baron de Beauvin's family, she had been worried that the baron was still angry and regarded her as one of the culprits in her son's death. Although she was confident that she would not end up like Laura with her brother's protection, she was still afraid that it would affect her brother's career.

Therefore, when her brother told her personally that the Baron no longer had any hatred towards her, her worries finally disappeared and she felt much more relaxed.

"Okay, let's not talk about apologizing in person. I don't want you to see him, so as not to remind him of any unpleasant memories. It's good enough now, no need to add any complications." Of course, Charles had no way of knowing what his sister was thinking. He just kept talking to himself. "Okay, now there are no obstacles to stop you. Please continue to use your enthusiasm to serve me and our family... It urgently needs all the efforts of each of us. I tell the truth. Well, I have decided to shift the focus of the railway industry from the government to there in the future...so that my successors will not be able to break my established pattern, and in this case, firmly control the federation. It is very important to us and there must be no negligence.”

"I will." Fran replied very solemnly, "Please let me prove this with practical actions!"

"You will have many opportunities, no doubt." Charles pretended to be serious and frowned, then suddenly stood up. "Well, it's getting late, shall we go?"

"Where to go?" Fran was a little puzzled.

"Let's go to the club, you need a bright enough appearance..." Charles answered immediately, "They will arrange lunch for us there."

Then, he added in a low voice. "Mary is also there, she will assist you as an assistant, if you two go together, plus I will help you behind, I don't think anyone can stop you there."

"With Mary's help, everything will definitely go much more smoothly." Fran nodded immediately, obviously a lot more relaxed. Then, she also stood beside Charles, and then took her brother's hand, "Then please take me there."

This action, like Charlotte, made Charles a little uncomfortable, he moved his lips slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Let's go."(~^~)
