[Titanic] I can't help myself

After more than half an hour of Rose's continuous explanations, I finally knew what Miss Elizabeth did after she became the Viscountess Waynes.In fact, some things happened before I joined the army, but I was too busy at that time to pay much attention to her affairs, and what she really wanted to do was also very hidden, until now.

Miss Elizabeth's wedding was in the summer of the year I went to Cambridge for school, and when they returned home from their honeymoon in the autumn, the Viscount Waynes, who was confident that he could easily conquer his young wife, became more and more fond of the newlywed The appearance is weak and helpless, pure and kind, but the little wife who is full of various thoughts and ambitions is obedient.

Miss Elizabeth, no, she should be the Viscountess of Waynes now. When she and her husband traveled to India, they did not focus on the local culture and scenery, which is completely different from the western world. She was keen to pay attention to various news channels. Business opportunities are found on the Indian border.There are many villages that make money by making wool fabrics by hand. The original finished products of these shawls, scarves and carpets have been processed and resold time after time, and when they arrive in the UK, they become luxury goods with sky-high prices.

The Viscountess Waynes went to these villages to buy these woolen fabrics at a higher price, and because she bid higher than other buyers, the local residents also bought the Tibetan antelope skins they hunted and originally planned to buy for others. It was a windfall to buy her.

So the last stop of the honeymoon became the starting point for Viscount Waynes to start his business.They brought a large amount of woolen fabrics and Tibetan antelope skins to a textile processing factory in South Africa. This was also one of her harvests during the journey, and they were refined into patterns and styles designed by her.She's a very tasteful woman who knows how to dress herself up, but I never thought she had a design mind.

Next, they went to France, through a woman who owned a women's clothing store they met at the beginning of their honeymoon, and put these assorted shawls, scarves, gloves, and blankets in her shop for high prices.That woman was the mistress of a nobleman, and with the support of her lover, she opened her own shop. Although she was always looked down upon by others, she was always able to catch the fashion trends in Paris, and her business was very good.

When the fame of these wool fabrics and shahtoosh, that is, the shawls and coats made of the fur of the Tibetan antelope, spread in Paris, she returned to England with some of the goods and put them in the lady's house in England. In the branch, sell at a higher price.

Viscount Waynes originally thought it was just a small fight of his energetic and curious little wife, but he didn't expect to make so much money when the final settlement was made.Although he felt that reselling goods would lose the dignity of nobility, but in the face of money, how can a person resist the temptation?Besides, he is not old-fashioned, otherwise he would not marry a girl who is as old as his grandson.

The young Viscountess is very business-minded and has strong social skills. In a short period of time, through various gatherings, she met many people of various religions and religions. She cooperated with them and resold a lot of things.From tea to spices, from stone to fur, she can always smell the hiding places of huge profits. She travels among various contacts, constantly accumulating wealth, not only money, but also relationships.

Until now, she has followed the trend, opened a food processing factory, persuaded her husband to change the farm's business model, bought a winery in the United States, and even invested in Karl's newly opened steel company.

But to the outside world, she was always the little wife holding the arm of the elderly Viscount Waynes. She never took the initiative to stand out. She looked docile and harmless, like a little woman who had no ideas of her own and could only rely on her husband.Perhaps this practice of greatly maintaining the dignity of the husband in front of outsiders is also one of the reasons why Viscount Waynes can rest assured to support his wife's business.

"It's amazing." I concluded, "So when you think of contacting Viscountess Waynes, you want to use her contacts to find a buyer who can buy Sir Fox's villa and woodland?"

"This is one reason. I mainly thought of the newspaper that Sir Fox wants to sell." Rose said, "Elizabeth and I said when we chatted that she wanted to open a newspaper and magazine and publish the fashion she designed. Magazine."

I nodded thoughtfully: "It's very interesting... Then, let's call Viscountess Waynes, the social season hasn't started yet, she should still be at the manor in the country. Ask her if she is interested."

Rose immediately showed a smile, stood up and walked outside the house: "Then I'll go now."

"Wait, Rose, I have something to say." I stopped her and told her to sit down.

"Rose, I know Viscountess Waynes is a very capable woman," I said solemnly, "I admire her ability, whether it is social or business, she is a talent, if she is a man, I'm afraid The achievements don't stop there."

Rose nodded: "Then?"

"I know you like her, and you're overwhelmed by her abilities," I continued, "but I want you to be careful in your interactions with her, and be careful not to open up too much and say everything. She's not An ordinary person, you don't want to give her too much sincerity. She is too deep, and you are too simple. Even if you have experienced society, with your emotional intelligence, you will never know what she is to you. Sincerely, or just in a relationship."

"Don't you think a woman can't have her own ambition and aspirations?" Rose retorted with her eyes wide open, her tone of voice and that defensive attitude seemed to be two years old, "She's just like a man How can you judge her as an insidious person because of her hard-working career?"

"This kind of rhetorical question is really nostalgic. I suddenly feel as if I have returned to several years ago." I joked.

Rose was also amused by my words, "Don't try to change the subject, Henry, you are indeed suspected of discriminating against women in career, otherwise why did you tell me to stay away from Elizabeth and stay with Carl? I don't have a problem with you , Karl, but you can't say you're a real gentleman."

"Ah, it's all Cupid's fault." I said with a smile, "If I didn't love Carl, I'd stay away from him, because it's too dangerous... Oh, of course I love you, my dear." I shook my hand He took Carl's hand and kissed his lips.

I was only going to exchange a shallow kiss with him, but Carl took my head and deepened the kiss, turning a one-second touch into a half-minute wet French kiss.This was the first time I had intimate movements with Carl in front of Rose, which made her laugh exaggeratedly, and even covered her eyes with her hands.

I pushed Carl for a long time, and he reluctantly let go of me, and then pressed my lips hard a few times before letting go of my head and sitting back on the original position.

"Rose, I never thought that women can't have their own careers," I wiped my lips and continued to explain, "If Viscountess Waynes and you were both men, I would say the same thing. You know , we are completely different people from them. In terms of buying and using people's hearts, you will not be able to compare with her in 50 years. The only difference between her and Karl is that Karl proved his sincerity to me on the Titanic. I used to live and die with me, so I have reason to trust him, and Viscount Waynes, sorry, I admire her, but I also want to stay away from her. You have to be vigilant, some people, he uses you, It can also make you willing."

"Am I that stupid?" Rose lifted her chin and raised one eyebrow.

"Anyway, you're not smart," I said. "At least in the last three generations, the Bookett family has never had anyone with a high emotional intelligence."

Rose nodded reluctantly, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll pay attention." Saying that, she left my room to make a phone call.

In less than 10 minutes, Rose came back: "She is very interested, or can I talk to Sir Fox on the phone first?"

So we went downstairs again, found Sir Fox, and told him the good news of a new buyer.

I first had a few polite greetings on the phone with Viscountess Waynes.Her voice is as gentle and soft as ever, warm and sincere.

"How long will you be staying at home this time, Count?" she asked on the phone.

"A total of ten days, except for today, there are still nine days."

"That's really great. Speaking of which, the last time we met was when we were in London early last summer, and I couldn't have a good chat with you." Her voice sounded light and cheerful, "If you want, I will talk to you tomorrow You can come to Acton and talk about what Miss Rose told me in person. I am also very much looking forward to chatting with you, and I wonder if you would like to give me this honor."

"It is my honor to have such an excellent and noble lady as you here." I said politely, "Would Viscount Waynes also be willing to come to Acton as a guest?"

"Of course," she said, "he's always wanted to visit you."

Next, the call was handed to Sir Fox.They briefly chatted with the newspaper office about the woodland villa that Sir Fox wanted to sell, because the development of the telephone in this era is not perfect, and the confidentiality is very poor. Anyone who picks up the phone can steal it. Listen, so what they're saying isn't very detailed and in-depth.

In less than 5 minutes, the phone was handed back to me, and Sir Fox looked much more relaxed.

"Then, we'll see you tomorrow, Earl." Viscountess Waynes hung up the phone with a smile.

The next morning, Viscountess Waynes brought a man to Acton first. According to her explanation, Viscount Waynes was still on the way because of some trivial matters at home, so she came first to negotiate with Sir Fox.And that man is a buyer who intends to buy villas and forest areas. He is a businessman that Viscount Waynes met when he was reselling spices, and he has a very strong Glasgow accent.As soon as he opened his mouth, I saw the corners of my mother's upturned mouth froze.

The formal negotiations began after dinner, and the buyer who bought the house had kept the price down from the start. He behaved a little rudely and didn't dress very well, but he was certainly good at business.When talking about the price, every word he said hit the nail on the head and was merciless, making it almost impossible to refute.Viscountess Waynes is also not to be underestimated, the price of buying the newspaper was directly lowered by one-third by her.

Sir Fox had been trying to bargain with them, but he was selling all his property for emergency, and he was at a disadvantage from the beginning.

On the first day, the negotiations reached a stalemate, and the poor old gentleman was beaten and aged a lot.The next day, the buyer who bought the house left in a hurry. He still had business to do and was very busy.He left his contact information to Sir Fox and told him to contact him if he accepted the price he offered. He was not in a hurry to buy a house, and he was very patient.

The departure of the buyer put a lot of pressure on Sir Fox.Then, I told him clearly that if I dragged on and couldn't keep up with this round of cultivation, I would give up buying his land.The Viscountess Waynes also seemed to be very confident, she did not urge Sir Fox, she just conveyed to him her indifferent attitude towards whether the newspaper could be acquired or not.Coupled with the arrival of Viscount Waynes, she even accompanied her husband and chatted with us every day, without mentioning the acquisition at all.

It seems that Sir Fox can't hold on anymore.The war has caused the price of food to soar, the price of steel to soar, and the price of medicine to soar, while the price of land and real estate is getting lower and lower. He also understands in his heart that it is very good to find a buyer at this time.The old Sir Fox has run out of patience and energy to deal with us.On the third night, he finally made up his mind and sold it at the price we expected.On the fourth day, we signed the contract and called our own lawyer to start handling the handover of the property.After finishing all this, Sir Fox didn't stay any longer and left directly.

That night, we held a small celebration ceremony, opened several bottles of hidden wine, and asked the cook to roast a turkey as the main meal.

After the dinner, Viscountess Waynes did not leave the restaurant with her mother and Rose.

"There's something I want to talk to you about," she said.

Mother almost frowned at her behavior.For her, the Viscountess Waynes, even if she is married, is the kind of woman who attracts people everywhere, after all, her husband is so old.But she didn't say anything in the end, she still pretended that nothing wrong happened, turned around and left, but before leaving, she took a deep look at Karl.This look made me dumbfounded. Could it be that she was implying that Karl should keep an eye on me and not be confused by the Viscountess?

I don't know what the Viscountess Wayans said to Rose, but Rose also called Jack away.There were only four of us left in the restaurant.

The Viscountess first looked at her husband, and after he nodded slightly, she said, "I take the liberty of staying today because I want to discuss a business with you."
