Chapter 1791: Future direction

"Joan, it's rare to meet you. If there's nothing urgent, would you like to have tea with me?"
"Okay." The countess invited him warmly, and of course Joan had to appreciate it.
The carriage stopped outside the Tuileries Hotel, and Mrs. Josephine got out of the car and took Joan's arms into the cafe.
"Joan, just now on the street, I accidentally saw you and Trofim talking in front of the stock exchange. Are you talking about gold banknotes?"
The countess held the teacup and stared at Joan scorchingly.
The buzz on the lips was light, and the eagerness to explore the privacy of the ex-husband was already overwhelming.
Qiao An laughed secretly and replied casually: "I haven't contacted my tutor for a long time. After meeting today, my tutor reported on his whereabouts during this time. The tutor also casually chatted with his new girlfriend on vacation. Anecdotes."
"New girlfriend?" The countess raised her ears and her voice became sharper, with a strong sense of sarcasm, "Is that Catherine?"
"Which Catherine?" Joan asked back.
The countess supported her chest with both hands, drawing an exaggerated arc.
"Oh, you mean the baroness'Big-breasted Catherine', broke up long ago, I thought you were referring to the opera actor'Long-legged Catherine'." Joan added rigorously, "This Catherine still has I didn’t break up, but I guess it’s almost there.

The countess took a deep breath and picked up a cube of sugar into Joan's coffee cup.
"Women have to change so hard, Trofim still have time to do anything else?"
"The mentor is good at managing for a long time, and at the same time cope with the problems of three or five women, at least I haven't heard any conflicts between his girlfriends.
The countess sneered twice, and tucked two cubes of sugar into Joan's coffee cup.
Joan looked at the coffee and was about to overflow, and quickly raised her hand to stop the countess from adding sugar, but she flicked the clip on the back of the hand and tapped it, and stared at him fiercely.
"Joan, you are already a 9th-level master. The number of internship points and thesis has already exceeded the graduation standard. What are you still doing in school? Why not apply for graduation today and kick your unreliable tutor kick Never mind!"
Joan saw that she was so angry with her tutor that she angered herself as a student. She couldn't help regretting that the joke was too much and she shouldn't mention "Catherine" at the beginning!
"Madam, I can graduate now, but the way out after graduation is a problem."
Joan hesitated for a moment, and finally confided to the countess like his sister.
"Sir Castis hopes that I will work for him as a confidential secretary after graduation."
"This is a great opportunity, Joanne, Sir John, you are regarded as a pro son. He is older and he desperately needs a successor. Most of them want to train you to gradually take over his huge network of power and connections." Mrs. Josephine said in earnest.
"However, I am not interested in doing business or in politics. I'm afraid I can't afford Lord Lord's expectations."
"If you like to engage in academics, then stay in school and teach well, and the old man Franklin can't wait for you to make such a choice." The countess said with a smile.
Joan nodded and said softly: "President Franklin, as well as the principal and the gentlemen of the board of directors, have provided me with a very well-paid appointment letter. The entry is an associate professor, as long as he issues an "Exploration of Austrian Law" during his tenure, Immediately, I can be promoted to full professor. The school leaders took into account my personality defects and lack of teaching skills. I was also authorized to only engage in scientific research without having to undertake teaching tasks."
"This is a position tailored specifically for you, Joanne, you should accept this offer immediately."
Joan nodded and hesitantly replied: "Whether working for Sir Castis or working in college is a good job opportunity. I have no reason to refuse, but I don’t know why, I always feel something is wrong. Can’t make up my mind, and even doubt that these two paths are not the life I want...Is this ridiculous?"
"So Joan, what is the life you want?" asked the countess softly.
"In fact, what puzzles me is what life really means." Joan stirred the coffee, staring at the swirl in the cup.
"Recall that two years ago, I thought that staying at Leiden College could not solve my confusion, so I took this question to study at Midgard University, thinking that I could find the answer here, but two years later, this The question has still not been answered. I even suspect that whether it is to stay in school to teach or to take up a public office, it will not be of any help in seeking this question."
With a sigh, Joan went on to say: "I also know that these messy thoughts are ridiculous, but before clearing up my thoughts, I would rather keep my identity as a student."
"Joan, no matter how smart you are, after all, you are only 16 years old, and you are just a big boy in adolescence. The transition from teenager to adulthood is not only physical growth, but also accompanied by mental and ideological pains. It’s normal to feel confused.

The countess held Joan's hand, her eyes full of love and tenderness.
"No matter what choice you make in the end, my good boy, I will support you and always be your family."
Joan shook the countess's hand gratefully. Her caring thoughts always brought him a warm heart. Perhaps this was the "family" he had lacked since childhood and had longed to have it.
"Ma'am, let's talk about me first. You just asked about gold banknotes, are you also interested in this business?" Qiao An changed the topic in a timely manner.
Mrs. Josephine nodded frankly.
"Friends of the stock exchange revealed to me that now is a good opportunity to buy gold banknotes, but I doubt whether a colorful piece of paper can really replace the monetary functions of gold and silver, Joan, how are you doing this? Look?"
"Madame, to be honest, I don't know whether paper money replaces gold and silver coins is the right direction for the development of the times, but I can tell you Professor Moriarty's attitude towards gold banknotes."
Joan leaned forward and placed it against the countess' ear, lowering his voice and saying:
"The mentor does not care whether the currency reforms carried out by the imperial authorities will succeed. What he values ​​is the God-given opportunity implicit in this wave of profiteering. Of course, huge benefits are accompanied by huge risks."
"When this crazy gambling comes to an end, most participants will lose their lives and only a handful of winners can laugh to the end. The mentor firmly believes that he will be one of the winners."
"Madam, if you are really interested in investing in gold banknotes, the most trouble-free way is to give your stockbroker an order that he completely follow the operation of Professor Moriarty, which is better than your own. It’s more likely to use brains or entrust a broker to make a profit.
