"Miss… "
After reaching the top floor, Vitor was about to say something when Felicia looked sideways at him with a cold face. Seeing that he lowered his head without saying a word, she continued walking towards her room. Vitor stood in the corridor, watching Felicia enter the room, and then returned to his room.
He knew that Felicia must be dissatisfied with everything that happened today. She had a conflict with the local city hall when she arrived in Otis City, and she even did not hesitate to intensify the conflict. As Vitor, he has an unshirkable responsibility. He is not Felicia's follower, nor is he someone who runs errands. He will be Felicia's butler in the future. He must arrange everything properly and not have unplanned conflicts like today.
This is his job, and if he doesn't do it well, that's his responsibility.
Felicia returned to the room and sighed softly after closing the door. She was actually unwilling to have such a conflict with Dulin, let alone intensify the conflict between them. But from the family's standpoint, she had to do this. Many times, ordinary people always feel that the rules of a big family are too many, too strict, too arrogant and domineering, but there is actually nothing they can do otherwise.
Any forgiveness and mercy are very good virtues for ordinary people, but for such a big family, it is a principled mistake.
If you don't show your thorns and sharp fangs, others will regard your mercy and forgiveness as a low-cost warning, and then they will continue to deepen their mistakes until they cannot be forgiven. Once it gets to that point, people will only talk about pitiful ordinary people and despicable big families.
Since you cannot please the untouchables at the bottom of society in the end, why should you forgive and show mercy to them in the beginning
Because it's stupid
What happened today is actually a little different. Dulin is not an ordinary person. He is the powerful person in the Otis City Hall. He manages the city and has a certain status within the new party. This conflict can make those new-school politicians who don't like the northern aristocrats hate the northern aristocrats even more. There may not be any targeted political events in a short period of time, but in the long run, some people who should have been dismissed will always be affected by this incident. Ordinary things become not ordinary enough.
In the next three days, I hope that the young Mayor Dulin can keep his eyes open and let the conflicts between them end here.
Felicia was already tired after a long night of socializing. She simply freshened up and went to bed early.
Early the next morning, the maid knocked on the door and brought her breakfast. Twelve dishes were laid out in two dining cars, almost all of which could only be tasted before being thrown away. Felicia simply tidied herself up in her pajamas, then sat by the window and basked in the sun while eating breakfast. She held a local newspaper in Odis City - "Odis Daily" in her hand.
There is no overly long political news in the newspaper. On the contrary, entertaining news not only occupies the headlines, but also almost fills up the entire newspaper.
The title of this morning's front page was "The Seventh Lucky Man", with a photo of an ecstatic man underneath. After reading it carefully, Felicia realized that this man had used the money in the Golden Branch Casino last night. One hundred and fifty yuan hit the three numbers on the Otis roulette wheel with the highest multiplier in the casino, and successfully turned one hundred and fifty yuan into 540,000!
Otis roulette is said to be a gambling method developed by Dulin that has never appeared before, and it is particularly exciting. The game only requires a table to hold the bets and a table with three roulette wheels. There are thirty-six grids on the outermost side of these three roulette wheels, from one to thirty-six, red and black. When the game starts, the dealer will spin the roulette clockwise and throw a steel ball into the roulette wheel in a counter-clockwise manner. When the roulette wheel stops, the grid where the steel ball is located is the final result. The second and third roulette wheels are similar, except that the grids will be reduced. The second layer has eighteen grids, and the innermost layer only has nine.
If you hit a number in the outermost roulette wheel, there will be a reward of thirty-six times, the second level is eighteen times, and the innermost is nine times.
In addition, there are other games such as guessing odd and even, guessing red and black, and guessing the tie, with odds ranging from two to one hundred and eight times.
The maximum odds of this game are 3,600 times. You need to bet on the final results of three roulette wheels before the game starts. Guessing one or two will be doubled according to the separate odds, but if there are three numbers If they are all hit, that’s 3,600 times!
This lucky guy was very lucky to hit all the numbers, and he took the sky-high odds of 540,000 in one breath. He was so excited that he was almost sent to the hospital by ambulance. According to the reporter's interview, this guy runs a pretty good restaurant. He has been traveling to Otis City with his family for four days and plans to leave the next day. Before leaving the casino, he put the last 150 chips in his hand on the last date of the birthday of a family of three, and he actually made the right bet...
Felicia turned to the second page. She knew very well in her heart that if this person was not invited by Du Lin to act in this scene, then it was Du Lin's people who had tampered with it and made him the lucky one. Judging from the title, there were six other lucky people before him, and there is no doubt that these people may have won the maximum reward with very small bets. It is precisely because of the continuous appearance of these lucky people that many people who think they are lucky come to Otis City, and then leave all their wealth and leave with empty wallets.
A very powerful marketing method. Felicia's face remained calm and she had already written this down in her heart. This is the biggest difference between the south and the north. It's actually not easy to do business in the north. Everyone has a clear understanding of what to buy and sell. The merchants who trade in the "territory" of the nobles are relatively honest and will not pull out such gimmicks. Compared with the lively business atmosphere in the south, the business atmosphere in the north is a bit lifeless, and it does need to change.
The second page, the third page and the last page are almost all full of attractive content, which makes people want to gamble or go to some entertainment facilities.
She put down the newspaper, picked up a napkin and wiped it on her lips. After asking the maid to change into a very nice set of clothes, she picked up the phone and asked Vitor to come to her room to discuss the three-day itinerary. .
After being so unhappy with Du Lin, it was impossible to let him take their group of people to play, so they had to make arrangements on their own.
When Felicia and her party came down from upstairs, someone immediately called to tell Dulin that they were out.
Du Lin received such a painful slap from them, how could he calm down the matter with his character? Even the Hymn Consortium can't suppress him, so why not replace him with something more powerful
no!
He didn't intend to use that violent method to retaliate. Felicia could humiliate him quietly, and he could retaliate in the same way, leaving them speechless.
When he asked people to stare at them, the yellow light on the table turned on, which meant that someone was waiting for him to answer the phone. This small device was developed by the Imperial Research Institute. It was mainly studied to solve the unnecessary trouble caused by some big shots missing calls because of their busy official duties. In fact, to be honest, it is not a big deal. It is just at the telegraph office. Add a few more lines to queue up, it's that simple.
After Du Lin said a few words, he hung up the phone and pressed the yellow button. The phone line was immediately connected to another line, "I'm Du Lin!"
"Mayor Dulin, my name is Braylon. I have something that I don't know if I should tell you..." Braylon's tone showed kindness, and he was a little hesitant.
"If you are not sure whether you should say something, then you must say it to me, my brother!" If a person can accurately identify something that is related to others and does not need to notify the person concerned, then his The judgment is at least well-founded and certain. On the contrary, if you are not sure and cannot find the basis for judgment, this kind of hesitation will occur, and the person concerned must be told.
Brenlen breathed a sigh of relief and told Dulin what he had discovered.
In the past two days, he suddenly discovered that there were many reporters in Namirinds. If this was not big news half a year ago, it would be normal for reporters to come to interview in this pearl city in the hinterland of the empire. But it would be abnormal not to have these reporters. . But today is not the past. The decline of Nanolindes is no longer news, and people don't pay attention to these things. Braylon asked someone to inquire about it, and found out that these people seemed to be here to "investigate the case."
They were looking for some clues about the attack that happened some time ago. Braylon knew part of the truth. He was not sure what the purpose of these people was, so he made such a phone call.
Dulin thanked Braylon for the kind reminder, and hung up the phone after chatting for a few words. He casually dialed the number of the security company and asked Kena to send a few people to Namirinds to arrest a reporter. He needed to get the reporter back. Knowing exactly what happened allows things that have calmed down to stir up trouble again.
This world is indeed full of malice towards him, or in other words, full of malice towards his origin and his current status. He is a Guarte, and he is considered to be at the bottom among the minorities in this world. A "lower person" suddenly becomes a mayor and holds great power, which will indeed make some extreme racists cry. It’s sad, just like Heidler, he is obviously a member of the Chamber of Commerce, but he still has to live a cautious life
However, it cannot be ruled out that it is Felicia's method. Some things cannot be kept secret in front of these powerful forces. If it were really her, then her stay in Odis City would have been longer.
There will be a parent-teacher meeting at 8:30 tomorrow morning. I won’t be practicing immortality anymore. There have been a lot of things going on recently. My grandmother failed to commit suicide, my uncle is undergoing surgery to remove cancer metastases, I have two children to take care of, and one has to go to elementary school...
Make up tomorrow
