His Excellency the Count of Grandet

Charles left on the third day, staying in Saumur for less than two days.This time he did not say when he would come again, because he felt that his uncle would not like to see him; but at the same time, if he took gold with him, it would be worth concealing his unwillingness.

I hate people but I don't hate money, because money can force me to love my house and my blacks. Miser always have such double standards.

In any case, a week later, Charles returned to Paris after a long absence.Antoine was elated by this, but Charles had no particular reaction—is he happy that there are a lot of trouble guys in Paris?

Number one is the mistress of the original body, Annette.For the monthly letter she requested, Charles searched the letter collection and made it up at the beginning, but then became more and more perfunctory because he was busy.I still don't know what to say about him...

Then there was the Duke of Orléans and his eldest son, the Duke of Chartres.Both of them looked serious and rigid, with a big gap in status, so they were very difficult to deal with.But so far, Charles hasn't heard of any of them deliberately making trouble for others, so he thinks it should be fine to be careful in the delivery process.

Finally there was some big banker who always made Charles feel like he was having too much time.Although Victor always liked to tease him, he did not do any real harm, let alone lent him 25 francs without saying a word.The money wasn't much, but the speed was the advantage—he was waiting for the money to solve his urgent needs at that time, and Victor really helped a lot.

As a result, after thinking about it one, two, three, Charles found that he had to do everything himself.The mistress depends on the situation, the Duke must be serious, and Victor...

If he kindly and sincerely suggests that the other party change his target, would it be useful?

As soon as Charles thought about it, he immediately denied it.If Victor had often done this kind of thing before, then everyone's impression of him would not just stay in the aloofness.

In other words, it is not easy for Victor to fall in love with someone, and it is even more difficult to let him go.

After thinking about it, Xia Ersi felt that this still depends on the actual situation, so she decisively decided not to think too much, and deal with everything that needs to be dealt with first.As a result, he had anticipated so many people, but in the end, it was not any of these people who had problems first, but Logan and Su Xie, who were almost forgotten by him.

In fact, this matter has been suppressed by Guillaume for some days.Because he felt that the material conditions in other provinces were not as good as those in Paris, and his son must have suffered a lot after going there for only half a year.Taking the risk of bankruptcy to do short-gloves and white wolves must have a lot of mental pressure.Although the result is very gratifying, but it's time to put more pressure on his son's shoulders - he hopes that his son can successfully inherit his career, but isn't he still alive and well now?Why can't this matter be resolved?

He deliberately concealed it, so that Charles did not find out about it until the third day after returning to Paris.And it wasn't Guillaume who told him, but he inadvertently saw the situation in the street below from the upstairs window-someone seemed to be pestering his father to quarrel, and he didn't get rid of it until he entered the door.

Charlton was on fire.According to his father's amiable, rich and face-saving personality, it's really impossible to flirt with others on the street.Then so-and-so, dare to bully him at the door, is he too tired of living?

Half an hour later, the study on the second floor of Grandet's house.

Guillaume secretly took a look at his son who was sinking like water.He could see that Charles was very angry, and couldn't help but feel guilty for his concealment.

In fact, less than a month after Guillaume and Charles left Paris at the same time, the news about the wine orders was spread in the city, and Logan and Suche naturally could not have known about it.

Knowing this, the two immediately became unbalanced.What is a notary for?A third-person witness to the transaction.What are brokers for?Agents of various affairs, charge a certain agency fee.Guillaume did such a large business, and even skipped the two of them, and didn't even let them know about it before!

What do you mean by that?Throw it away after use, or are you afraid that they will get a share of it?The partner of the cooperation is His Excellency the Duke, why don't you even give them a chance to get to know each other and get close?

The two discussed many times in private, and finally felt that, no matter what the reason was, Guillaume would definitely want to leave them and work alone.

How can this work?First canceled the orders they arranged in Burgundy, and now you want to gradually exclude them from the business chain?Is there such an easy thing in the world?You know, they have signed a contract!Black and white, clearly!

Didn't they agree to be each other's little angels?If you say you don’t do it, you don’t do it. Did you ask me if I agreed?

So as soon as Guillaume returned to Paris, the two immediately went to find him.Thinking of Guillaume's temperament, the sugar-coated cannonball must be won after a few rounds; I didn't expect Guillaume to eat the weight this time and become determined, insisting that there is no room for maneuver in this matter, and they can handle it by themselves.

Logan and Su Xie didn't believe it at all.Just kidding, such a large business can be handled by the Grandet father and son alone?You must have found someone else to help, right?

After spending a lot of time and money, neither of them found any clues that Guillaume had found a new agent and notary.But this made them even more unbelievable-others don't know how much money the Grandet family has, but they still know a thing or two; Choking to death?

Either soft or hard won't work, so I can only think of other ways.The contract did not stipulate that the affairs of the Grandet family should be notarized or represented by them, but in fact their economic affairs were indeed tied together.If Guillaume went bankrupt because of this incident, the two of them would have to be implicated.

That's why Guillaume couldn't really handle them.Although he believes in Shire himself, it doesn't mean that he can ask others to do the same.

We have to say that Guillaume really felt sorry for his notary and agent at the beginning. After all, Charles didn’t give any reason and told him not to consider the choice between the two; but after two or three months of back and forth, It was the first time he saw Logan and Su Xie's sneering, and he couldn't help feeling a little impatient.

The contract was signed by Shire, and it did not conflict with the various agreements between him, Logan, and Su Xie; later, he also offered to terminate the contract early (if he goes bankrupt, it will not affect others), and a large liquidated damages He is out.This always solves the problem, right?But why both of them refused without blinking?

After all, it’s more money, right?In vain he has been thinking about the past friendship, now it seems like a joke!

It's a pity that Guillaume's recognition of the faces of the two does not mean that the matter can be resolved, so this matter has been dragged on until it was discovered by Charles.His guilty conscience is actually unnecessary, because of course Charles is not angry with him.

What Charles was thinking was that he really didn't expect that Logan and Su Xie couldn't bear it so quickly.If it wasn't for the fact that there was no solid evidence at the beginning, he would not let them jump up to now.But it's never too late to make up for it, and it's not too late to start investigating now while these two people are still using their tongues.

After thinking about it, Charles nodded: "I understand this, father. Now I only have one question: Do you still want to continue to cooperate with these two people?"

Guillaume shook his head hastily.For the past month, Logan and Su Xie have staged scenes of blocking people on the road every day. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't stand being surrounded by people every day!What's more, he is very thin-skinned!Logan and Su Xie also took a fancy to this point, so they wanted to force him to make concessions in this way!

"Then the matter is simple." Charles smiled, "Aren't you a judge in the commercial court? You must know a lot of people in charge of this aspect? Find some, and go check the accounts of Logan and Su Xie, maybe you will There are surprises."

From his point of view, Guillaume was being polite enough to these two men.As long as you have some snacks, you won't make things so ugly.But the other party is shameless, so they just tear up their face, and see you in court if there is any problem!

Of course, Guillaume also thought about this method.Judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that these two people did something without telling him before.But it was too hurtful to go to court, and he couldn't make up his mind. "Will this..." He hesitated.

Charles saw at a glance what Guillaume was worried about. "Look, it's just that I signed a deal, so they can treat you like this, so how can you expect these two people to have friendship with you? If it's about losing face, they let you lose first, you Why should I keep it for them? As for possible revenge or something," he bent the corner of his mouth, showing a beautiful arc, "as long as the problem is found out, can they still stay in Paris?"

Guillaume has a good temper and is willing to deal with them; he has no patience at all!

Feeling that what his son said was very reasonable, Guillaume immediately started to do it.He seldom asks for help, and others are willing to help him when he has something to do, without any difficulty at all.But it will be almost a week before the results come out, and Christmas is approaching again-it's time to pack up and see the Duke!
