No. 22, Persfield Street, where the Loon Charitable Student Fund is located.
Audrey put the file in her hand back on the table and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the director's office. The time had just reached ten o'clock.
She carefully looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else, she straightened her calves in a secretive manner, straightened her back, tensed her arms, and stretched herself without any trace.
But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the office door, which made Audrey shudder violently. However, the power of the hypnotist made her quickly calm down the panic at that moment, and regained her cute and charming appearance.
Miss Delly said to the door:
"come in."
"Miss Audrey, there is a gentleman who has decided to donate a sum of money and he wants to see you." The person who entered the door was a somewhat reckless girl. She was the first beneficiary of the Luen Charity Student Fund. Because she has
She has good grammatical literacy and social skills, and is working as a front desk greeter.
"I know, I'll be right away." Audrey took off a small mirror from her waistband, straightened out her flawless appearance, then stood up and said to the girl at the door:
"Did the other party introduce themselves?"
Although Audrey has not long since become a director of the Luen Charitable Student Fund, because of the social value of Earl Hall's daughter and Backlund's most dazzling gem, she has already come into contact with many people in the name of donating money, hoping to get in touch with her.
Relations with the minor nobles and merchants.
However, she is not disgusted with this kind of thing. No matter what the other party thinks in response, the donation is indeed real, and it really helps those poor children and gives them a chance to change their destiny. This is enough.
"The other party calls himself Viscount Penridax, and he only has one male servant with him. He is currently in the VIP lounge." The girl immediately reported the somewhat convoluted surname.
For her who was born in a poor family, she was not very clear about the news that was known to everyone in the aristocratic circle. Naturally, she did not understand the reputation of that indescribably handsome gentleman in Loen's social circle.
When Audrey heard this surname, her eyes suddenly lit up and she immediately said:
"I'll go right away."
…
"Good morning, Miss Hall, your beauty makes the stars dim."
"Good morning, Mr. Panridax." Audrey raised her skirt and sat opposite the sofa where Snow was originally sitting. The moment the two sat down again, a familiar feeling suddenly spread.
Audrey, who had become a hypnotist, finally grasped the details of this power without Snow's concealment. The kind of neglect that acted on the subconscious made the communication between the two independent from the gaze of others.
"It's really hard to see you now!" As the private space expanded, Snow's sitting posture immediately became much more casual, with a hint of teasing in his tone. Audrey said helplessly:
"I originally wanted to go to the previous canonization dinner, but my brother felt that it might reveal some inappropriate information to the outside world."
Seeing Audrey's "cat-sighing" expression, Snow couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said:
"This is natural. After all, your father sold a large area of territory at a very low price. This in itself is already a very concerning move. If you come to attend the dinner again, I believe that the whole Backlund will be disappointed today."
All the hot topics in salons and balls will turn into gossip about the Hall family's attempts to marry new nobles."
"That's just the groundless conjecture of an uninformed person." Audrey's cheeks turned slightly red, but it quickly disappeared again. In fact, compared to this kind of news, she had even heard worse rumors——
For example, "Earl Hall's daughter fell in love with the famous social grass. For the sake of his beloved daughter and not to affect the family's reputation, Earl Hall could only resell the land and help him obtain a title" or something...
In fact, her father, Earl Hall, had already held a family meeting to analyze Mr. Snow's political value before selling the land. Of course, this was essentially to appease his eldest brother.
Seemingly not intending to continue this embarrassing topic, Audrey took the initiative to change the subject:
"By the way, Mr. Devil, why did you come to see me this time?"
"Well, there are two main things." Snow nodded, first taking out Baekeland's bank check with a face value of one hundred thousand pounds, "As a new noble, it is necessary to participate in charity. Compared with those so-called charities,
For activities, I believe here more. In addition, you should have heard of the enthusiastic organization of my people. I will leave you a business card. If there are any matters that are inconvenient to handle officially, you can go to them to solve them."
"Ah!" Although Audrey guessed that Mr. Snow would make a donation, she did not expect that he would actually come up with such a large sum of money at once. Although some businessmen would obtain knighthoods through large political and charitable donations, but
The so-called charity was actually a tribute to His Majesty the King through the charity port, and the real charitable donation... even her father only gave out 10,000 pounds!
Seemingly seeing Audrey's surprise, Snow showed a gentle smile and said:
"Don't be surprised, this is also a 'appearance' in itself. You should understand that certain things cannot be determined by a simple canonization ceremony. Nobility is a circle. If you want to enter this circle, you must show something, or
Financial resources, or force, or power, or influence.
Although I am not lacking in these aspects, influence and force are more at the extraordinary level. For the arrogant nobles of Loen, they obviously do not regard extraordinary people as a kind of capital, and I have more rights.
In MI9, it is not convenient to do much display in this regard, so I can only show enough financial resources.
As long as I show that I am rich enough, even if I am regarded as a nouveau riche, those guys who want to maintain the dignity of the aristocracy by selling everything they can, will eventually make concessions out of interests.
Moreover, the factional struggle in the Kingdom is very fierce. My current tendency is to be a pure royalist. As long as I show enough value, both the old and new parties will try to win me over, especially the old conservative aristocratic system whose main income is land rent.
—After all, a hundred years ago, the Panridax family was also a traditional noble with war titles."
"I see." Audrey also came from a noble family. After comparing her father's political status, she immediately understood what Mr. Devil was thinking. However, she did not go through the donation procedures immediately, but continued:
"What about the other thing?"
"The other thing... of course is to charge the illusion on you! Recently, there is a force that is trying to deepen the rift between the old and the new parties, and there are many high-level spectators among them. This is why I accepted the canonization at this time.
, in short, the Psychological Alchemy Society may have big moves recently. Every time you meet with their people, you'd better pray to Mr. Fool for protection, and the illusion I bless you is to ensure that at the moment you meet by chance,
