"Henry, as I promised you before, I brought this man here..." At the dining table, Charles pointed to Albert next to him and said to his distant relative with a smile, "Don't look at this man who is usually careless, but he is very steady in doing things, and... he is very rich and has a wealth of millions. As long as you continue to cooperate with him, it is certainly no problem to make a fortune..."

"Mr. De Foagray, I'm glad to see you." After hearing Charles' introduction, Henry did not dare to neglect and hurriedly greeted Albert opposite him.

"Hey, you are so polite, it makes me feel so uncomfortable..." Albert responded in a strange voice, "I am used to being casual, but I just don't like to be too polite with others. Are you not a naval officer? When you break through the sea of ​​Fengli, you must not be in charge of any etiquette? Come on, let's have a drink!"

"Well, cheers!" Henry also raised his head and his glass.

After the drink, Henry felt relieved. I have to say that this funny Albert suits his taste.

Mr. Charles de Treville did not break his promise. He sent him an invitation the next day after he returned to his residence and invited him to attend the dinner the next night, which made him overjoyed. In order to gain a good impression in front of his master, he carefully decorated himself, and did not come to the Marquis of Treville's mansion until the time was approaching.

More important than being relieved in his heart, he felt that he had already obtained the opportunity to develop what he deliberately pursued when he came to Paris this time.

"Your alcohol tolerance is really good. It's true that you've been in the Navy!" After seeing Henry's refreshing drinking, Albert sighed sincerely, "Hey, we should really have a few bottles of strong wine. What a pity today's good opportunity! So, I just think it's boring to attend a family banquet, and I'm always unhappy to drink..."

"If you want to drink, just go and drink when you go back. Just don't get drunk here and get in my eyes." Charlotte, who was sitting next to Charles, said to Albert coldly.

"Oh, madam, if you are unhappy we are here, I will take Charles out for a drink together immediately, and I will guarantee to send him back safely at that time!" Albert smiled wickedly. "You think this is OK?"

"Bah! If you want to spend money, go by yourself. Don't think of taking Charles bad!" Charlotte immediately spat at him. But he didn't look unhappy. He was obviously very happy with the title of "Madam" Albert.

"Don't say it as if he is not bad yet. Whoever leads the bad may he be!" Albert replied with a smile.

"What are you two talking nonsense? Don't get me up." Seeing that he was corrupted, Charles couldn't help protesting.

"Hahahaha. What? I've been completely in tune before I got married? Do you want to make me jealous? My friend. I really pity you two, and it's boring so quickly..."

"That's better than you," Charlotte immediately fired back, "Besides, the business we two are running together is very interesting."

"That's not. You can also run a few interesting people." Albert joked in a muffled voice.

"Hahahaha..." Such a half-yellow joke made the three young people laugh out loud in an instant, and Henry also laughed with the awareness of a guest.

However, the corner of his eyes kept it in another place.

It was obviously such a cheerful atmosphere, did this person have any worries? Why are he so unhappy? He was obviously just a girl. Why are he so worried?

Yes, the blonde girl in a plain white dress seemed to be completely deaf about her brother and others' words. She was eating the dinner in front of her at a constant rhythm, as if she was isolated from the whole world.

This is the girl he only met today. Judging from Charles' introduction, it should be his sister, Miss Fran de Treville.

To be honest, he originally thought that the duke and lady was already pretty enough, but he didn't expect that the marquis was even more beautiful. Only famous families in the capital could raise such girls. How could a remote and vulgar province be born? He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If he was amazed at Charlotte, when he saw this marquis, he felt as intoxicated as the lady. His golden hair and delicate facial features were like a figure in the painting. What is more valuable is that her attitude was as modest as her brother, and even gentle as her brother, and she was very polite to him, without the pride of Charlotte's noble family. In the eyes of this young naval officer, this lady was simply perfect.

Of course, no matter how much you fall in love, this young man had no other thoughts except to appreciate and admire. Unfortunately, even if they are both nobles, they are divided into classes. The rich and the poor live in different worlds. Henry slightly mocked himself in his heart.

However, the lady who was so beautiful and smooth, seemed to have changed her body at this time. She sat in her seat with a lot of worries and ate without saying a word, as if she was suffering from torture. What made Henry even more confused was that her brother and cousin deliberately ignored her situation and deliberately chatted with her friends.

Why are the three such outstanding people in the new generation of the Treville family in such a strange state? Will there be someone who deliberately neglect such a sister?

Young people cannot think of the answer, nor do they want to pursue the answer. Years of life experience tells him that there will naturally be shadows in places where everything is bright and beautiful. Sometimes, there are some things that the less you know, the better. As long as he knows, he just needs to know that he has got what he wants.

"Henry, as I said before, Albert will set up a company to operate shipping and import trade with Russian food." At this time, Charles' voice broke the young people's reverie, "Since you are now, let's put the place in the port of Marseille. Then, please take care of it locally. You can be one of the shareholders, and you can also find some reliable people to help the company's operations. You also know that our Albert is often plagued by mundane affairs and generally does not have time to control so much. So, everything depends on you... However, we are not in a hurry in time, you can try to find reliable people."

"Don't worry, I will do my best to do my best." Henry agreed repeatedly. "Since you have given me help, I will repay you with great enthusiasm."

"No need to be so serious. Since we are relatives, we should help each other." Charles replied with a smile.

Although this arrangement seems a bit dangerous, as long as he continues to gain power in the capital, he certainly doesn't have to be afraid that this distant relative will dare to come up with any tricks. So Charle is naturally very relieved.

"Now the shipping is getting busier and busier. As long as the port is managed, the next profit will definitely be considerable." Henry couldn't help but imagine the future, "We will definitely make a fortune by then. Sir."

"It's more than that at that time. Henry."

"Hmm?" Henry's answer to Charles was a bit strange.

"In the future, well... when the President can completely dominate the situation, I am going to advise the President to establish a Ministry of Transport based on the Ministry of Railways to fully manage all transportation matters in France, including railways, highways and sea transportation. Only in this way can the government use its manpower, material resources and financial resources to use its incredible power.

Moreover, as long as this department is established, will it be up to us to decide which companies are responsible for shipping? By that time, it will be a good time for you to achieve great things. In comparison, it is nothing now... Just a little try!"

"Is that?" Henry was overjoyed after hearing Charles' explanation. "That would be great."

"Not only that, under the advice of my grandfather, Mr. President is preparing to transform the military system in the future, establish the General Staff of the Army and Navy, and let professional institutions be responsible for the military orders of the Army and Navy..." It seems that because of drinking a lot of wine, his face turned slightly red. "I suggest you pay attention to it. At that time, your future will have a great chance in the Navy... Yes, as long as we sweep everything away, we can do everything next! Believe me, since you have come to find me, then as long as you work hard enough, your future will be bright... Oh!"

"Charles, drink less, and they are starting to talk nonsense. It's not good to scare the guests..." Charlotte smiled and patted Charles on the shoulder, stopping his long speech, "Look at you, you're all drunk."

Although she was blamed on the surface, she didn't look angry, but instead looked a little happy.

[In history, France's transportation industry was managed by the Ministry of Public Works (founded in the July dynasty in 1830). It was not until the Charles de Gaulle government officially established the Ministry of Transport in 1944, and it was expanded into the Ministry of Transport and Engineering in 1946.

After the failure of the French-Prussian War, France introduced the General Staff system and established the Army and Navy Staff in 1871. The General Staff was established in 1888 by then-Mr. Charles de Frassine.

Although the young man in front of him had a hoarse voice due to the effect of alcohol, it seemed unexpectedly convincing.

It seems that this young man is not as gentle and humble as he usually acts, but is also ambitious and determined to achieve a great cause.

That's right, otherwise how could it be possible to climb to such a position at this age?

"Yes, our future is bright! Thank you, sir!" Henry also felt excited in front of the blueprint drawn by Charles. Henry took the wine glass and said, "Come on, let's have another drink!"

After drinking this glass of wine, Henry's eyes accidentally fell on the girl opposite him.

However, he was surprised to find that the girl who had been self-isolating was staring at his brother with a secret gaze.

She was full of worship, as if she couldn't see anyone else.

It turns out that the relationship between their siblings is not very bad.

The young man who had been secretly observing the girl came to this conclusion.

Then he became even more confused about the relationship between this family.

Forget it, don't care.

…………

Just as the family banquet was being held, a servant suddenly walked in and said something to Shier. After hearing this, Shier was stunned.

After a while, he spoke again in a rather solemn tone.

"Just just got the news that the Earl of Dilièon passed away a few hours ago."

"Is it the father of the Minister of Railways? Earl of Dilièon, the former dynasty's high-ranking official." Of course, Henry didn't know nothing. "

Charles nodded silently.

For a moment, the restaurant fell silent. Obviously, this kind of news will always dispel people's appetite.

"Everyone doesn't have to do this, come on, keep toasting!" After a while, Charles took the initiative to pick up the cup and broke the sudden silence. "Life is like this, life is full of death. Since we will face that day anyway, shouldn't we living people enjoy ourselves more in time? Besides, with the age of that count, it's not too unacceptable to leave now, right?"

"It's right, Charles, come and have fun in time, have a drink!" Albert next to him immediately agreed and raised his cup.

"cheers!"

The silence of the group lasted less than half a minute for a newly-dead politician.

Even if a person is so brilliant and has made many achievements, when he dies, he can only make irrelevant people in the world sad for so long. Life is so impermanent.

Not only that, after mourning the death of the Count, Charles felt a little relieved and even happy at this moment - in this way, it would be easier to deal with the Dilièon family.

"I wonder if our respected minister will cause any trouble in his next political career after losing his father's guidance?" under the influence of alcohol and that pleasure, Charles whispered.

"Oh, it's really sad." Albert, who had already learned about Charles's thoughts, sneered and agreed.

Charlotte glanced at Charles in confusion, then looked at Albert again.

Then, she quickly understood something.

"Oh, that's really unfortunate news..." She sneered and agreed.

Of course, she would not feel any discomfort because Charles planned to exclude and attack people, and would only think about helping.

Fran glanced at them in confusion, then lowered his head to continue eating.

"cheers!"

The bad news was quickly left behind by the young people, and the family dinner quickly began again.

Viscount Dilièon could not have imagined that when he had just climbed to the high position of minister and reached the peak of his life, his father died not long after. While he was still immersed in the grief of losing his father, among his most trusted subordinates, a small conspiracy group had taken a secret and was ready to give him a heavy punch at any time.

Life is such a game of ups and downs! (To be continued...)
