The Happy Life of a Duchess

Count Garcia was originally very indifferent in Adele's impression.

To her, he is more like an embellishment attached to the love between La Traviata and Armand, a failed suitor of La Traviata, and in the end he went bankrupt and left England, leaving the scope of the story completely.

But after getting along with each other, she gradually got to know each other. She couldn't talk about those private life matters. It was enough for her to take care of herself and keep herself from being a promiscuous woman who got sick. The only thing she could do The only thing to do is to restrain herself.

As for other people, how happy they are, how they enjoy a chaotic and corrupt life, this actually has little to do with Adele, and she has no intention of caring about other people's private lives.

Just like Count Garcia's pursuit of La Traviata at the beginning a long time ago, it was just a little trouble for Adele——

After Margaret had long since given up the old life and turned to a relatively quiet and peaceful state of life, this trouble completely disappeared.

Adele no longer has to worry about whether her favorite "heroine" will be criticized for her life as a courtesan, nor whether Duke Juradi's father or herself will be criticized for this.

But these are not enough to erase the charm of Count Garcia himself.

These frivolous news, the eclectic and beautiful stories that happened to him are not enough to sum up his whole person.

"I'm actually a little surprised that you actually want to start a newspaper..." He considered his words for a while, "But I also understand what you mean. It's a good thing that ladies and wives are so interested. It's an extra thing to pass the time. , not too bad."

Count Garcia's thoughts are the same as many people's thoughts, just like Adele's Duke father thought, they all regard their "Lady's" magazine as a new way to spend time, just like those idlers It's like a temporary fun that the aristocratic women who have nothing to do are really bored and can deal with it temporarily.

Adele has no intention of explaining this, although most people seem to be, and the ladies who attended the salon probably didn't think so much.

There are some things that she just needs to know in her heart, and she doesn't have to shout the slogan so loudly to be successful.

Count Garcia discussed with her the preparations and related matters that may be required for the undertaking of the newspaper.

Although Adele has already contacted her friends and almost ordered the first issue of the newspaper, which will be printed and sold in a few days, she also used the contacts of other salon members to order in several hotels. There are fixed sales and display arrangements, and some sales arrangements in the form of newsboys, but overall, they still have some imperfections.

Adele naturally knew this too. Fortunately, because she spent a lot of energy with her friends and followed up the progress herself, she would not fail to keep up with the points mentioned by Count Garcia.

Seeing this, Earl Garcia was almost sure that she was serious about doing this thing, instead of suddenly getting up and playing with the wives for a period.

"It's like this. According to your needs, I thought about it. Maybe I can recommend these two gentlemen to you, just enough to take on the work you want them to do."

Upon hearing this, Adele nodded first to express her thanks.

The two gentlemen recommended by Count Garcia for her are a pair of work partners, Mr. Weihan and Mr. Crewe.

Mr. Weihan used to work in a magazine that had been acquired. The temporarily frustrated editor-in-chief of the magazine, Mr. Weihan, actually did a good job in magazine operations, but he offended his colleagues because of some personal reasons—drunk, which led to After being acquired, his opponent became the new editor-in-chief to take care of various matters, and he was left out.

Not long after a period of indifference and exclusion, he was finally fired.The bad thing is that his son has just been born, and he happens to be a gentleman who loves his wife very much, and now he is making a living by doing some copying work for some nobles.

And his partner editor, Mr. Crewe, is his good friend and his always-able assistant. This Crewe has good taste in reviewing manuscripts and other things, and he is an editor who is very capable of discovering new and potential authors. It started with typesetting.

Although he did not resign with the same party, but because he used to belong to Mr. Wei Han's faction, and now he is not doing very well in the new magazine, it is not difficult to recruit people here, and he will also sell his friend's face Yes, Earl Garcia is also quite confident in this regard.

Because of the female-oriented nature of Adele and others' magazines, Count Garcia also made some considerations when recommending staff for her.

The mention of Mr. Crewe means that among the authors signed by this gentleman, there are two female authors with pseudonyms. However, looking at the content of the article, only one of them was found to be a female author, and the other may be a female author. Those who wrote critical comments may have been too sharp in their words, and the identity of this pseudonymous female author was not discovered.

But as someone who understands this aspect, it is natural to know that this critic is quiet, not very famous, but not unknown. The author is a woman.

This gentleman is able to use the content as the first criterion for screening, and it just meets Adele's needs. In addition, she also mentioned that she hopes that the other party is good at typesetting and other work. The work may be harder at first, but the salary will not be less Half a point, and Mr. Crewe just happened to be familiar with this aspect of work.

Needless to say, Mr. Weihan, if it wasn't for drinking and making mistakes, it is impossible for him to fall into such a situation.

After the incident, after a period of torture and suffering, his original temper has changed a lot, and because of family reasons, he is no longer as foolish as he used to be.

Earl Garcia also knew this, so he wanted to recommend him, and give this gentleman, who he felt had "repented of evil" and especially good at operations and marketing, a chance to return to the circle.

Other magazines may not be willing to accept him. He offends that he is big or small, but those without a big background will not be able to accept him, and he will not be able to return to the publishing industry.

From this point of view, Adele and the others, ladies and gentlemen, are either rich or noble, and they are just able to ignore those messy things and directly set up newspapers in strange ways. The ridicule of the industry, the other is that there is no guarantee that it will last for a long time, not a one-time ticket.

Adele got to know Earl Garcia carefully, then nodded in agreement, took the business card, and decided to contact Mr. Weihan. With him, if the negotiation can be concluded, Mr. Crewe can naturally take it as well. .

They all felt that Mr. Weihan would not refuse. He was already in that situation. How could he give up when he had a chance to recover? His child was still waiting to be taken care of...

"Besides, I haven't congratulated you on your engagement yet..." After talking about the serious matter, the serious topic ended, and Count Garcia changed to something more relaxed.

"Thank you." Adele thanked with a smile, and the two exchanged some compliments.

"But unfortunately, I probably won't be able to catch up with your wedding." Count Garcia said in a slightly regretful voice, "But I will definitely give you a gift when the time comes."

"Huh?" Adele made a slightly surprised look.

"Probably after summer, I'm going to England." He smiled shortly, and there was really not much embarrassment on his face, and he looked very open-minded.

"To tell you the truth, I have some problems with my business. At the invitation of my friend, I will go to England to try my luck..."

Adele didn't know how to comfort her, so she thought for a while and said:

"This is a wise choice. There are indeed many opportunities in the UK today, and your previous investment in the UK is also..."

"Hey, it's hard to touch the stock market." He said with a smile, "But there are indeed other investment businesses. It is true that there are more opportunities in the UK."

He spoke briefly, and Adele listened with a smile.

It may be because of the opening in front. Count Garcia is not very nervous, but his attitude is very natural. After he has relaxed, he is more like a kind of confession that radiates the depression in his heart, and he does not necessarily want to get it. Some kind of response, just trying to say something.

At this moment, Adele paused slightly, and she looked towards the door, with a natural smile on her face.

Count Garcia is a person with a very high emotional intelligence, and because of his habits, he will naturally pay more attention to the changes in a woman's psychology and demeanor, especially her subtle changes in expression.

He immediately looked in the direction she was looking.

"Ah, it's Mr. Duval." He smiled immediately, and looked at her slightly teasingly, "I guess he's here to look for you."

Earl Garcia waved towards the door, Mr. Duval saw it, and a smile appeared on his face when he looked over.

He walked over with a smile, his usual demeanor.

"Miss Adele, Mr. Garcia."

Both sides smiled and said hello.

"Do you want a cup of coffee?" Earl Garcia greeted, "But I think you are more like picking up your fiancée."

Adele smiled at him, and Mr. Duval spread his hands frankly, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Count Garcia then understood, followed by a cheerful smile.

"Okay, okay, take good care of this beautiful lady, and bless you."

He stood up and hugged Mr. Duval, and the two exchanged a few words of civility.

Adele took this opportunity to tidy up her clothes and makeup a little, wiped the red marks on the corners of her mouth and the rim of the cup, put on her gloves again and stood up, standing right behind Mr. Duval.

Adele followed Mr. Duval out of the coffee shop. At dusk, the two of them walked along the Rhine River together, neither of them said they wanted to go back in a carriage.

"I didn't expect you to come." Adele thought for a while, and broke the silence first.

"How come?" Mr. Duval smiled and turned to look at her, walking side by side with her.

There are also many male and female couples who walk with them on the riverside, who makes this place a holy place for couples.

The two of them are here, but it is not awkward at all.

"Is everything done?"

He asked with concern.
