The Sri Lankan Bar was not originally called that, but Midnight Drunk, a very common bar name. At first, Armstrong only planned to open an ordinary bar, and while making money, he collected anecdotes from people chatting in the bar.
There is an old saying that "God does not follow what one wants", which is very suitable for what happened to Armstrong. Within three days of the bar opening, there were two consecutive fights, causing 300 pounds of damage to tables and chairs and 100 pounds of wine.
Classes were affected and smashed, which was a financial loss. During a fight, a middle-aged Irish man was hit in the stomach by glass fragments from a broken wine bottle on the ground, causing blood to flow all over the floor, causing the business to be closed for a day to clean up the mess.
For this reason, Armstrong was so angry that he almost closed the bar. He really couldn't imagine how much money he would lose if the bar continued to open. Looking at those damage reports, his heart was bleeding! Fortunately, Dean Charles cared more about himself.
Investigation revealed that the bar facing the street was secretly sabotaging the bar in order to prevent its own bar from operating.
For this kind of matter, Dean Charles never liked to waste his time, so he asked his butler Scott to solve it. After investigation, the butler found out that this was just a bar that had been open for less than two years, and there were gangs in London behind it.
I'm supporting it, but the gangster seems to be fighting for territory with other people recently.
The housekeeper was very decisive and found someone to set fire to. The person he found happened to be the gangster's rival's younger brother who did it. The younger brother disappeared after it was exposed. Everyone thought he took advantage and ran away.
There are so many bars in the UK, especially in London, that they often conflict with each other. Newly opened bars are often crowded out by old bars on the same street within a few days, but even so, there is still an endless stream of British people opening bars.
Absolutely, the long-standing pub culture has penetrated deeply into British life.
British people often say, "If you haven't been to a bar, you've never been to the UK." For British people, bars are the best place to socialize, a place where information exchange explodes, and just like Chinese restaurants, taverns are a place for gathering information.
The best place.
Dean Charles has no intention of making money from this bar, but more to help Armstrong.
Two generations of their family have owned a dress shop. Armstrong's father was originally the family tailor of Dean Charles's father, and several generations of the family have been full-time tailors of the Roberts family. Later, after Dean Charles's father passed away, the family experienced a period of economic decline.
Due to financial constraints, most of the servants were dismissed. Armstrong's father did not leave. He worked for ten years without taking any money. Later, his health became increasingly poor and he left voluntarily.
The Armstrongs used the money saved by their ancestors to open a clothing store in London. The business was not very good at the beginning. It was not until two years before Armstrong's father died of illness that several French people arrived and customized their clothes, which were praised at the banquet.
After that, business came in a steady stream.
After the fame spread, it didn't take long for him to attract the attention of Dean Charles. However, he did not disturb their lives. Instead, he secretly ordered their dresses and helped them to make their lives better.
But perhaps it is in response to the old Chinese saying "People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong." It is precisely because of the prosperity of the clothing store that some people are jealous and have harassed and vandalized Armstrong's clothing store many times. For this reason, London
The Police Department came to investigate many times, but in the end the investigation failed due to some unknown factors, and the case remains unresolved.
As for Armstrong, Dean Charles didn't want to disturb their lives, but unexpectedly he was forced to intervene in the end.
Two days after being harassed in the clothing store, a middle-aged man came to the clothing store holding a civilized stick and asked Armstrong to sign an agreement. The general content was that the Armstrong clothing store would voluntarily become a subsidiary of Fraser Company, and Armstrong would
Join in the form of shares.
The middle-aged man was kicked out directly by Armstrong, scolding him as a lunatic, saying that only an idiot would agree to join that damn Fraser company.
That night, the door of Armstrong's clothing store was smashed, and about 200 pounds were lost in the store. The damaged items in the store were worth 400 pounds. This kind of loss made Armstrong heartbroken and almost hospitalized. The Metropolitan Police also responded to this
A case was filed and the suspected Fraser Company was investigated. However, due to lack of evidence, the investigation target could only be shifted.
The case of vandalism at the Armstrong clothing store was just like the previous ones. After the police investigated many times to no avail, the case was slowed down and shelved because other cases had to be dealt with.
Dean Charles was busy with the affairs of the Military Academy and did not know what happened to Armstrong, but that did not mean that no one paid attention to the matter.
Steward Scott is a very careful person, and he is extremely good in every aspect. This is not only reflected in the management of the manor, but also in the clear memory of the people or things that Dean Charles is concerned about, and in the management of the manor.
Provide reminders when appropriate.
This was the case with Armstrong. Butler Scott had a deep memory of the people who had lived in Roberts Manor, not to mention Armstrong's father, the man who made the clothes he was wearing.
People's memories are like this. For people who have appeared around them or in their lives many times, their memories will be extremely profound. Butler Scott not only has unforgettable memories of Armstrong's father, but also Armstrong himself.
Armstrong is naturally lively and active, and can often bring joy to the people around him, bringing a touch of fireworks to the already solemn and impersonal manor. Both the master and the servants in the manor are all very cute and bring joy to the people around him.
It's hard for Armstrong to get bored when he comes to laugh.
Armstrong left a deep impression on everyone in the manor. Even after he left with his father, the old people in the manor would still talk about him often.
When Dean Charles mentioned Armstrong again, Steward Scott's mind seemed to have opened a door to time and space. The scenes from the past seemed to be right in front of him, and he was still the same person who could bring everyone joy. The butler's memories were
After being awakened, they arranged for people to secretly observe the current situation of the Armstrong family. Of course, they did not keep an eye on them all the time, but sent people to check on them every now and then.
The initial impact of the destruction of the clothing store was not great. The police believed that it was done by gangsters wandering around London. They arrested all the gangsters nearby who often caused troubles. However, it was of no use. The investigation was fruitless and no one confessed.
I have no choice but to investigate slowly.
This period of time happened to be a few days after Butler Scott's last investigation. The damage to the clothing store did not expand. The surrounding shops had similar situations before, and no one took it to heart. Even Armstrong didn't take it to heart.
I didn't pay too much attention to it, I just thought I was unlucky.
But what happened next clearly showed that someone was deliberately targeting the Armstrong Clothing Store. In the past few days, some house repairs were carried out in Roberts Manor, which took up most of Scott's housekeeper's time and had no time.
distracted to understand
How is Armstrong doing?
The incidents of vandalism are still continuing, and the police are also carrying out the investigation slowly under pressure. The one who has been hurt the most is Armstrong. There were times when I couldn't bear it and wanted to close the clothing store and leave London. But thinking about all the expenses at home,
It came from a clothing store, so I had no choice but to stick to it.
This kind of thing soon spread all over the streets and alleys, and almost all of London. Even the craftsmen who were responsible for repairing the houses in Roberts Manor knew about it. When people were taking a break during tea time, they talked about the latest news in London.
It happened that Butler Scott was passing by and heard about the incident, so he immediately arranged for someone to find out what happened.
The matter was investigated quickly. After hearing what happened, Butler Scott immediately used his authority to investigate Fraser Company.
Barron, male, 42 years old, studied in France and studied economics and management at the University of Lyon. He excelled in his studies during school and received several academy awards. After graduation, he returned to the UK and settled in London, where he founded Fraser Company.
Alula, female, 44 years old, studied at the College of Nantes in France. She and Barron met in Paris and joined forces to start a business after returning to the UK. The relationship between the two is complicated and ambiguous, and they are suspected of being ambiguous.
Barron is not married, but has had five girlfriends. Three of them met while studying in France, and the last two were introduced as boyfriend and girlfriend after returning to London.
…………
The eighteenth generation of Barron's ancestors were thoroughly investigated, and even the family circumstances of his girlfriends were thoroughly investigated.
From this point, we can see the energy of the upper class nobles. It is not easy to investigate a person with a low background. Even if this person is just a butler, he still has energy that cannot be underestimated.
Barron dared to take action against Armstrong Clothing Store because he had investigated that the other party did not have a profound background. He was just an ordinary tailor from a family who once worked in a declining noble family, but the specific noble family was not found out through investigation.
This cannot be blamed on Barron. Dean Charles's family is a low-key family. Even when the family was at its most glorious, Duke Arthur did not go around showing off his indescribable status. Instead, he developed the Roberts family in a low-key manner.
Even so, the family has experienced several ups and downs, but fortunately it has never been so severe that it threatened the family's survival.
Under the tide of history, there are only a few families in the entire empire that can survive like the Roberts family. It can be seen that concealment and low-key development are king!
Barron did not act arrogantly and immediately against Armstrong's clothing store. Instead, he encouraged a group of gangsters in the area to smash up the clothing store. If Armstrong had a deep background, the gangsters would also be the unlucky ones.
You can attack the clothing store without yourself.
After waiting for a few days without any movement, Barron adopted the strategy of courtesy first and then fighting. However, after the people he sent were driven back, Barron became a little angry. He wanted to take advantage of the gangsters again, but they were not
Idiot, after the police started investigating, they quickly found out about their group, and still spent a lot of money to deal with those greedy guys. No one will fall into the same pit twice.
This gave Barron a headache. With no other choice, he had to go to the East District and find a few homeless people smoking big cigarettes to smash up the clothing store again. But what he didn't expect was that these homeless people were robbing a man afterwards.
He was caught by the patrol when he was a foreigner.
