Anton was really speechless towards Sergey. Looking at him, he was treating him like a novice who didn't know anything. To be honest, this was a bit too much. No matter what, this time it was all him and Li
Xiao Zai was in control, and to put it bluntly, without their previous work, neither Count Rostovtsev nor Sergei had a chance to intervene.
But now, the other party thinks that he doesn't understand anything and thinks that he is unreliable. Isn't this looking down on others?
Anton was relatively well-educated. Although he was a little unhappy, he didn't say anything weird. He just thought Sergei was being kind and was afraid that he wouldn't understand the importance of it.
He responded calmly: "I know."
In Anton's opinion, this conversation is over, and everyone can go about their work and say goodbye. But I don't know if Sergey misunderstood or if Anton's indifferent look seems like he doesn't understand.
He took the trouble to emphasize the importance of the matter:
"Remember, you must pay close attention to make sure there is no mistake. You must not take any chances. This is very important!"
Anton was really speechless this time. He had done this kind of tracking and surveillance countless times, so he had to emphasize it again and again! What’s more, he was the one who had been monitoring Grand Duke Constantine and Shuvalov before. These two
He was the first to discover the guy’s problem!
Anton immediately replied a little unhappily: "I know! I am better at tracking and monitoring than you!"
Okay, this sentence is a bad thing. Sergey thinks that Anton’s attitude is not correct. What does it mean to be more knowledgeable than him? So what if you are good at tracking and monitoring? Isn’t this just a cool job with no technical content? You
What's wrong with a coolie being so proud!
I have to say that Sergey is indeed a bit proud of the aristocratic circle of St. Petersburg. He feels that since he is from St. Petersburg and is the personal secretary of Count Rostovtsev, he is naturally more noble than a provincial like Anton.
An elite like him who has seen the big world and experienced big events should be regarded as a leader by the country bumpkins from other provinces. The country bumpkins must be cautious and respectful when talking to him, at least not completely ignore him like Anton.
This damn sense of pride is the main reason why Sergey is unhappy with Anton, but it is not the whole reason. The second reason lies in Anton's previous achievements.
Count Rostovtsev mentioned it to Sergey, saying that Anton had done a very good job in handling matters in Kiev on his own before, and asked Sergey to communicate more with Anton and learn more.
Although Sergey promised well at that time, he was still a little dissatisfied and even wanted to compete with Anton.
This mentality will naturally be suppressed when Count Rostovtsev is present, but once Count Rostovtsev is no longer present, the devil in Sergey's heart emerges.
He couldn't help but want to overpower Anton and make him obey his command. It would be better to teach Anton a lesson so that he could announce to the world: "You see, I am Sergey who is better.
The local leopards from other provinces have no place at all!"
Therefore, as long as Anton is a little bit "disrespectful", Sergey's sensitive nerves will be touched. And Anton's attitude just now seemed to him very bad, so he was highly dissatisfied and must teach him a lesson.
All of a sudden Anton was gone.
"What kind of attitude do you have?" Sergei lectured in a very strong tone: "Don't think that the small achievements you made before are anything special. You can do well in all the cats and dogs you did! The count praised you because he pushed you hard.
Keep working hard and don’t let it be used as something to show off!”
Anton was told that he was confused. He was confused - he didn't know that Count Rostovtsev had praised him, and even if he had, he didn't think there was anything to show off. He didn't care about the count at all.
A few words of praise are meaningless!
Let's put it this way, maybe in Sergey's heart Count Rostovtsev is a particularly important and critical figure. But in Anton's heart, the count's status is not as good as that of Li Xiao or even as good as Alexei's.
Naturally, Count Rostovtsev's compliments were worthless to him.
So Anton replied very calmly: "I don't understand what you mean by saying that? I don't think there is anything wrong with my attitude. By the way, I don't think there is anything to show off after just a few compliments.
I’m not that superficial!”
After a short pause, he still asked calmly: "Now, Mr. Sergey, do you have any other questions? If not, then goodbye!"
Sergei was really offended now. Anton's calmness seemed to him to be pretentious, unruly, and simply did not take him, a superior person from St. Petersburg, into his eyes. This was intolerable to him.
, suddenly roared:
"Stop!"
But after yelling and calling Anton, he was stunned, because he remembered that first, he was not Anton's superior, and Anton was not even Count Rostovtsev's person. Second, he was not Anton's superior. Second, he was not Anton's superior.
What should you do after you call the other person to stop? Should you scold him?
Sergey felt that if he cursed loudly, it would first appear that he had no restraint and magnanimity, and it would also attract the attention of outsiders too easily. After all, he was the secretary of Count Rostovtsev, and if he was found to be in contact with Anton again, he might be
Expose the relationship between Count Rostovtsev and Li Xiao.
Count Rostovtsev attaches great importance to this relationship, and has repeatedly promised to keep it secret. If he is exposed out of anger, the count will never spare him.
What's more, looking at Anton's previous attitude, he didn't take him seriously at all. If he scolded the other party, he might scold him back, and he might not be able to take advantage.
After thinking about it, Sergey felt that he still couldn't be so reckless. Even if he wanted to teach Anton a lesson, he had to make a decision before taking any action. It would be better to make this guy submissive in one go.
So he wanted to stop, but he had stopped Anton again just now. If he didn't show any signs now, wouldn't he be looked down upon by the other party? Maybe he would even laugh at him.
Sergey felt embarrassed even thinking about it, so he hesitated, thought for a moment and said decisively: "I will truthfully report your attitude to the count!"
Well, what Sergey said is actually even more embarrassing. This is a typical case of going to the parents if you can't win, or suing if you can't win. This is something that only villains and children would do. Anyway, in Anton's opinion
Quite ridiculous.
If it weren't for the cooperative relationship between the two parties, Anton would definitely have retorted, but in order to avoid intensifying the conflict, he just responded calmly: "As you wish!" Then he waved his hand and walked away...
