Count Adrian Petrescu is in a good mood, and even his personal secretary Settlescu has a say in this. He has served the count for twenty years and knows all the count's microexpressions.
Setres clearly understood the meaning of every little move he made.
It is precisely because he knows the temper of his employer that Settles can always serve the count. Before him, this stubborn and eccentric old man had changed more than thirty personal secretaries, almost every month, and no one could make him
satisfy.
Is Count Petrescu difficult to serve? For Cetras, it is neither. If you don’t understand his mind, you will naturally find it difficult to serve. But if you understand the character of the count, it will be easy to deal with him.
Simple.
For example, right now, Settles knew that the reason why the count was in such a good mood was entirely because he enjoyed the dignity and majesty that he had rarely received in the past ten years.
As a veteran nobleman, this count is very sensitive to status. Why has he been unwilling to return to Bucharest and interact with the nobles in Bucharest in the past ten years? Do you really think it is because he is disgusted with the hustle and bustle and decadence of Bucharest and likes leisure, as he said?
Do you want to return to nature with a clean and leisurely rural life?
Nonsense! Those are all false, and they were forced out of desperation! The fundamental reason is that the count cannot accept the fact that the Petrescu family has declined and has almost no influence and status in Wallachia. He doesn't like to be called
In order to settle down, he likes to enjoy compliments and adulation like a big shot.
This earl is very vain, likes to be respected, and likes to feel superior. But before, his proud family tradition and history were regarded as rubbish and completely dismissed. Even a large number of emerging businessmen and tycoons were more respected than him.
Welcome, he really couldn't bear all this, so he hid back in the countryside and became a hermit.
And now when the old count once again becomes the focus of everyone's minds and becomes the central figure again, do you think he can be unhappy?
Even though Count Petrescu still had a straight face, Setres could hear his heartfelt voice: [It feels so good! So comfortable!]
Of course, he was actually a little happy about this. As another truly run-down nobleman, although Settles had the title of baron, his family was really poor. His father only had 100 acres of land to support his five sons and three children.
A daughter is really bald enough. To maintain the so-called dignity and respectability of aristocrats in such a predicament is really just adding baldness to baldness.
Fortunately, Settles is smart and quick-thinking. The most important thing is that he is not as rigid as his father. He always maintains his figure and is unwilling to compromise for five buckets of rice. The first thing he did when he became an adult was to give up his figure and apply for Adrian Pei.
As Trescu's private secretary, he successfully won the earl's favor by relying on his noble title, his ability to observe people's movements, and his familiarity with old-school aristocratic etiquette, and he worked there for twenty years.
In the past twenty years, he has changed from a hairy young man to a greasy Mediterranean uncle, turning the 100 acres of ancestral land into thousands of acres of fertile land, making his life more and more prosperous. To tell the truth, he is secretly proud,
I feel that I have thought about Count Adrian Petrescu thoroughly. If I let him work for another ten or twenty years, I will probably double the family fortune. Wow, how wonderful! How wonderful!
So the two masters and servants sitting in the carriage were in a good mood at this time, so they didn't notice at all that when they stepped out of the carriage and stepped into the gate of the Prahova Protection Association, a look like ice was fixed on them.
Locked them down.
"President, you are here? You are still so energetic today! But you are better than us young people. If I were half as energetic as you at your age, I should be secretly happy!"
Petrescu nodded reservedly and said with a smile: "Mr. Anderses, please don't compliment me as an old man. I am trying my best now. After all, everyone trusts me and puts the responsibility on my shoulders.
I have to live up to everyone's trust and work hard to fulfill my responsibilities. I am a person with this temper. Hey, I have to work hard and there is nothing I can do about it."
Naturally, Anderses paid another compliment and welcomed Petrescu in very flatteringly. To be honest, he didn’t have this attitude towards the old man half a month ago. As a big local businessman and a member of Prahova County
The county magistrate, he looked down upon the self-proclaimed Petrescu family which was declining day by day. He felt that Count Petrescu was really useless and an old fool.
The reason for his sudden change of attitude was very simple. The big shots in Bucharest suddenly admired Petrescu, praising him as an outstanding squire of Prahova County and an advanced representative. He was just short of being hailed as a hero by the old count.
Already.
The boss likes the old count, and Anderses, who is following the liberals, naturally has to keep up with him. Anyway, a businessman like him has no moral integrity at all. It is normal to kneel down and lick anyone, and licking anyone is not licking. An old man like Petrescu
At least the licking of the clapper is not as strenuous as the big guys in Bucharest.
This old man just needs to say a few nice words to be happy, but the uncle in Bucharest not only wants to listen to nice words, but also wants to get real money. Anderses is very happy to be able to do good things without spending money.
"Viscount Berest and Count Biness will arrive in a while. They have something to do and will be delayed for a while. Please forgive me!"
Viscount Berest and Count Bines are old acquaintances and enemies of Petrescu. The three of them are the largest landowners in Prahova County, occupying almost 50% of the land in the entire county, so Prahova protects
After the Protection Committee was established, Petrescu became the president, and the other two became vice presidents.
However, the relationship between these three people is not good. In the past, the three families fought for land. Now, even if they are temporarily united in external interests, they are not harmonious internally. Those two people are very unconvinced that Petrescu is the president.
, almost everything has to be done with Petrescu. Even if it is a meeting, you have to deliberately control it. Being late for anything is a shame.
"OK!"
But who makes Petrescu feel happy? He thinks that the president must be a little magnanimous. There is no need to be as knowledgeable as a few deputies. The prime minister can support the boat!
"They are busy people anyway!" Of course he would not be soft-spoken when he should be sarcastic: "I heard that the Earl and the Viscount had a fight over a woman the day before yesterday? This is really hard work!"
Anderses was a little embarrassed. It was okay for nobles to be jealous. The problem was that the two people were fighting against another noble lady who had just lost her husband. It would not sound good to talk about it. So he could only change the topic.
road:
"Earl? I heard that someone sent you a threatening letter?"
