The next day, Allen welcomed a special visitor. It is Mr. Jessica, the owner of the red willow bar and the president of the "Perfume Lily" Chamber of Commerce.
Jessica was much younger than Allen had imagined, and she was only in her early twenties. The long golden hair hangs down at the center, and is tied behind the head at the shoulders, tied with a pin studded with gems, allowing the hair to hang straight down like a waterfall. The body is a dark purple dress. The towering stand-up collar shirt is decorated with lace on the waistline and cuffs. The waist is high, full of the flavor of this era. The long skirt reaches the floor, and the hem of the skirt is embroidered with a pattern of lilies, and the stamens are embellished with jade.
Her silhouette is deep, coupled with that tall figure, the whole person's temperament is very prominent. Even if she was thrown into the crowd, a caring person could recognize her at a glance. But she always had the right smile on her face, which blurred the sharpness engraved between her brows and made her look approachable.
As one of the most influential people in Violet Harbor, the team Jessica visited this time was surprisingly simple. A carriage parked outside the courtyard, and only two strong guards followed her into the courtyard.
Allen was also very surprised when he heard the news of her visit. He received the young congresswoman in the hall that had just been simply decorated. When she saw Allen, Jessica's eyes also moved slightly and said: "Mr. Allen is younger than I thought."
"Why not Miss Jessica."
Jessica said calmly: "My father was in prime of life, but unfortunately he contracted a disease and died. Under me, there is still a younger brother. Unfortunately, he was too young, so only my elder sister came forward to inherit. Father’s business. In the past few years, although the elders in the family have been supporting you all the way, you can squeeze into the world of your men. How hard can it be described. Therefore, I can’t do it."
Allen said moved: "Miss Jessica had this experience. From this we can see that Miss Jessica is indeed extraordinary."
"Mr. Allen praised." Jessica said again: "I came today, mainly to apologize. Mr. Allen was attacked in a bar under the name of our Chamber of Commerce last night. We have a certain responsibility for this matter. So this matter , We will investigate to the end and help Mr. Allen at the same time."
"So, for the identity of the assailant, does Miss Jessica have any eyes on it?"
"This is not available for the time being. But what is certain is that the other party should regard our Chamber of Commerce as an enemy, because of the attack last night, it is really a despicable act that kills two birds with one stone." Jessica's eyes flashed awe-inspiringly, and said: "We The Chamber of Commerce has been rooted here for a long time. Just like the name of the bar, Hongliu Bar, we have already firmly planted our roots on this land. In Violet Harbor, my family also has a history of more than a hundred years. It has something to do with us to some extent. Therefore, whether it is a chamber of commerce, a bar, or even other industries, similar incidents like last night will rarely happen."
Allen nodded, Jessica's meaning was clear. Her family has some history in this city, and the relationship with the characters of various forces in the city is also intertwined. Under such circumstances, basically no one will cause trouble in the industry of the Lily Chamber of Commerce. The attack on the Red Willow Bar last night was not only for Allen, but also for the Lily Chamber of Commerce.
Imagine an influential chamber of commerce where an attack occurred in a bar operated by it. This is undoubtedly a big slap in the face of the chamber. If Jessica doesn't handle it well, it will even make her partner with the Chamber of Commerce question her ability to be a young family member. That's why Jessica has the idea of "killing two birds with one stone".
"Regarding the identity of the perpetrator, we will continue to investigate. At the moment, please allow us to make corresponding compensation." Jessica smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Allen came with a batch of cloth this time? We are engaged in the Lily Chamber of Commerce. It is the business in textiles, handicrafts and spices. Maybe we can cooperate in textiles for a long time."
Allen was surprised that if he could cooperate with the Lily Chamber of Commerce, the fabrics produced in Suhl would not be sold. Of course, Allen would not let this kind of good thing go. He called Sean to accompany Jessica to the warehouse to see the goods.
"You made these?"
In the warehouse, Jessica put a piece of cotton cloth under the light to observe: "The needle eye is very fine and regular. The hand workshop cannot produce such cloth. Excuse me, Mr. Allen, the difficulty you use is the machine production line. ?"
This time Alan was surprised. Seeing his expression, Jessica lost his voice: "I guessed it right."
She happily said: "I didn't expect you to have such a technology, my God. Mr. Allen may not know that fabrics produced by such machines are currently only popular in a few cities in the hinterland of the empire. Of course, using machines The fabric produced lacks the spirituality of hand-knitting, but it is better than stable output and high efficiency."
"Many apparel manufacturers are more willing to use this mechanized product, which can ensure that every piece of clothing they produce is of the same quality, not as uneven as handmade textiles, and the defective rate is extremely high." Jessica shot He took a picture of one of the original cloths and said: "It seems that we can sign a long-term cooperation agreement. I wonder if Mr. Allen is interested?"
"I can't ask for it." Allen smiled.
Leaving the warehouse, Allen introduced Sean to Jessica and bluntly said that Sean would be Sur City's agent here in the future. Jessica also said that no later than tomorrow, a representative of the Chamber of Commerce will be sent to contact Sean, so the cooperation with the Lily Chamber of Commerce was finalized. What is lacking is a contract.
When putting Jessica in the carriage, the congresswoman poked her head out of the window and said, "Mr. Allen, although we are still not finalizing the identity of the assailant. But I can give you a purely personal reminder."
"Want to hear more." Allen said sternly.
"Dick, Storm City, Roger." Jessica blinked her eyes and said with a playful expression: "I can only say so much. As for what Mr. Allen thinks, it doesn't matter to me. It's up."
The carriage drifted away, and Allen stood for a moment before he said solemnly, "Let's go."
Back in the hall, I saw Willick standing desperately by the door. Allen stretched out his hand and shook his eyes: "Are you sick?"
"I'm in love." Willick cried, "Boss, who was the woman just now? She is simply the lover of my dreams."
Allen laughed and said, "Do you like Jessica? This is the first time I saw someone, right?"
"Don't you know that there is something called love at first sight in the world?" Willick said again: "So she was called Jessica, what a wonderful name."
"Stop nympho, I have something serious to talk about." Allen shook his head and said, "Go and call Regis and Adele."
After a while, everyone gathered in the hall. Allen said: "Everyone, Miss Jessica, who just visited, left us a very important reminder."
"What hint?" Adele asked.
"Dick, Storm City, Roger." Allen wrapped his arms around his chest and said: "It is conceivable that these three should be connected. This also solves many questions. I was thinking about the storm on my way to Violet Harbor. The city’s caravans also have to pass through the Blood Rock Wasteland. Why do their caravans rarely hear rumors that they will be robbed. At first I just thought that there was probably an army from Storm City. Dad's band of bandits colluded with each other."
"That said, we were attacked by Dick's people, maybe it was also a good thing Storm City did?" Sean said.
Allen nodded and said: "Remember our friction with Storm City soldiers at the Wind Erosion Canyon checkpoint? I was ready to take action, but their chief unexpectedly let us over. It should be that they were not sure to keep it. We, simply hand us over to Dick to handle it."
"And Roger, the attitude of his representative yesterday was very strange. If Roger's Chamber of Commerce and Storm City have cooperation, then such an attitude is understandable." Allen said: "The important point is, As soon as Roger's representative left, we were attacked. Obviously, the other party did not want to drag Roger's people into the water, so the matter was obvious. These killers, even if they were not Roger's people, were related to Roger."
"In this case, Miss Jessica should have guessed that Roger did it. Why did she still say that there is no clue?" Sean puzzled.
"It's very simple, after all, Roger is also one of the councillors. Before there is definitive evidence, Jessica can't break his face with Roger." Allen said with a smile and said: "This city, people and people The relationship between them is too much and too complicated. It is inevitable that some things are not easy to put on the table, but we are different. We just came here, whether it is for us or the city, the relationship between each other is still very It’s simple, don’t think about too many gains and losses."
"Jessica gave me this tip. The original intention should be to let us go to Roger to settle the accounts. In this way, she not only helped us, but also taught Roger, without sacrificing the friendship between the two sides. This is Three birds with one stone, this Jessica, it is not easy." Allen glanced at Willick and smiled: "Even so, do you like her? Willick, I am worried that you will be sold out and still be blinded. In the dark."
Willick snorted: "I will impress her with true love~EbookFREE.me~ Adele and Regis next to them made funny faces at the same time, Willick immediately glared at them. Allen waved: "Okay, Now that the opponent is obvious, it is time to counterattack. "
Adele said: "Are you going to deal with Roger? I don't know what to do. Knowing that Jessica was used by the woman, you still..."
"It's okay, Adele." Allen smiled and said, "As I said just now, as newcomers in this city, we have not been constrained by too many relationships. So take advantage of this time to open up the situation and let other parties People who see our strength and determination will benefit our future development in this city."
"Speaking of businessmen, there is no time when I am not used. This time she used me, next time I use it back." Alan looked at Willick with a deep smile and said, "And we still have a trump card. It."
Willick suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Boss, don't look at me like this!" r1058
