Chapter 68 Traitors like ghosts and foot-washing water (1)
The night is deep, and Bucharest in March has a different kind of weird atmosphere. The mottled old streets and dim and swaying street lights together create an atmosphere like a horror movie, making you suspect that invisible shadows in the streets and alleys will rush out at any time.
vampire.
Li Xiao didn't like this depressing atmosphere, which made people feel weird and uneasy just like this country, so even if his popularity in the salon initially opened up the situation, he didn't feel happy and just stared.
He stared at the street outside the window in a daze.
"Sir, you have a visitor."
Li Xiao was stunned and glanced at the clock. The time showed twelve o'clock in the evening. Who would visit him at this time? Count Dracula?
"Who is it?" he asked calmly.
"This is the visitor's business card."
The Romanian servant presented the business card respectfully, and Li Xiao took it and looked at it, but immediately a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his attitude completely changed.
"Please invite the two gentlemen in."
The Romanian servant asked diligently: "Do you need to prepare drinks and snacks for you?"
Li Xiao smiled contemptuously and waved his hands: "No need!"
When the Bretianou brothers walked into the room, Li Xiao's expression was just right. How is it just right? It was impatience. He completely brought a young man from a big French family to life.
For such a young man, it is inevitable to be proud and arrogant, especially in a backward country like Romania, which must reveal the superiority and pride of the Parisians. The Romanian natives must be despised and treated as
As a country bumpkin, you have to show your style of being a nobleman of the heaven and earth.
It's best to be impatient and unwilling to be disrespectful. You must let the Bretianu brothers understand what it means to be awesome.
So the question is, why did Li Xiao do this? Or what are the benefits of doing this?
To clarify this issue, we must first figure out who the Bretianu brothers are. If readers who have been reading for so long have not gone to Baidu to know the future political status of these brothers in Romania, then it is really a bit embarrassing.
qualified.
In short, these two people and their descendants are all important figures in Romania. Sincerely, father, son and brothers are both prime ministers. Almost all the prime ministers of Romania are surrounded by this family. Tell me how awesome they are.
If he is so awesome, why does Li Xiao deliberately show off to them? The reason is very simple. This is suitable for the role he plays. In any case, Li Xiao is too young. He is a young French prince who comes from a wealthy family.
There is also money. No matter how you look at it, you should be arrogant rather than approachable and courteous. Especially towards the Romanian country bumpkins, you should definitely not be friendly, but picky. This is in line with the mission character.
Otherwise, with the shrewdness and wretchedness of the Bretianu brothers, they will definitely be able to spot the problem, because all the French people operating in Romania are like birds, so there is no reason for an alien to pop up out of the ground, right?
Of course, this is not the main reason. What is more important is that Li Xiao knows that he must take the initiative in his interactions with the Bretianu brothers and must not follow their lead. If he is led by them, look at the history
Alexandru Yoan Cuza's fate was simply that he was deceived by Jan Constantine.
Therefore, if you don’t want to be fooled by them, you have to take the initiative and lead them at their pace, so it’s best to give them a boost and let them know who is the boss.
"Gentlemen, I must tell you that your sudden visit caught me off guard. If I didn't have the greatest goodwill for the people of Wallachia, I really wouldn't have met with you right away, because it would be too rude. Who would go in the middle of the night?
Visiting a tired gentleman?"
"If you don't have anything urgent to say, I will be really angry and disappointed, because this fully illustrates the backwardness and uncivilization of Wallachia! And such a backward and uncivilized country is not worth having.
nice!"
Jan Constantine and Dimitri looked at each other. They had thought that the French would change their faces. This was normal and they were used to it, but they really didn't expect that Li Xiao would be so imposing, with such an aggressive attitude and face-attacking attitude.
The accusations that came from them were simply treating them as servants and subordinates.
This feeling is really unpleasant. After all, the two brothers are also big shots in Wallachia now. They are awesome people who can make Bucharest tremble by just stamping their feet. They have always been the only ones who point their noses at others and teach them in turn.
When they become adults, they really have too little heart. Even the French Consul General Perrier has to give them some thin noodles, okay?
But the little dwarf in front of them, who was several years younger than them, taught him a lesson right away. His aura was really not fake. What does this mean? It shows that he has confidence and background, which is really not small!
For Jan Constantine and Dimitri, the most fearful and worrying thing is that Li Xiao does not have enough weight, because their purpose is to use Li Xiao's relationship to lobby the French upper class, thereby urging France to stand in Wallachia.
Here, it is best to provide protection.
And now Li Xiao's aggressiveness shows that he has the confidence and weight, otherwise he can be so arrogant? The more arrogant Li Xiao is, the happier they are, and the more they want to curry favor, so the two brothers are really overjoyed.
"Sorry, Mr. Diomede, we also know that it is rude to visit late at night. For this, we express our most sincere apologies to you. Please forgive us for our rashness and abruptness, because we have no choice but to act like this!"
The acting skills of these two brothers are also good. They really played the poor and embarrassed situation. However, these are completely useless to Li Xiao. Who makes him a time traveler who knows the details of these two brothers and knows that they have
No matter how despicable and unscrupulous you are, you won't fall into the trap.
"Yeah?!"
Li Xiao snorted nonchalantly, as if he didn't take their apology seriously at all, and still said so aggressively:
"I'm sorry, I can't see the sincerity of your apology, words can't reflect anything, and I can't see or think of any compelling reason that would cause you to be so rude!"
Jan Constantine and Dimitri looked at each other again, probably saying that someone was really difficult to deal with, and ordinary people should not accept their apology just now, and asked why. But someone still held on to them.
, it’s basically super difficult to take care of, okay!
"I'm really sorry," but these two brothers are really human beings, really flexible and very thick-skinned. They replied with a shy face: "We apologize to you again for causing you trouble. We are extremely sorry!
