The next day, Allen welcomed a special visitor. It is Mr. Jessica, the owner of the red willow bar and the president of the "Perfume Lily" Chamber of Commerce.
Jessica was much younger than Allen had imagined, and she was only in her early twenties. The long golden hair hangs down at the center, and is tied behind the head at the shoulders, fastened with a pin studded with gems, allowing the hair to hang straight down like a waterfall. The body is a dark purple dress, and the tall stand-up collar shirt is decorated with lace on the waistline and cuffs. The waist is high, full of the flavor of this era. The long skirt is on the floor, embroidered with lily patterns on the skirt, and the stamens are embellished with jade.
Her silhouette is deep, coupled with the tall figure, the whole person's temperament is very prominent. Even if she was thrown into the crowd, a caring person could recognize her at a glance. But she always had the right smile on her face, which blurred the sharpness engraved between her eyebrows and made her look approachable.
As one of the most influential people in Violet Harbor, the team Jessica visited this time was surprisingly simple. A carriage parked outside the courtyard, and only two strong guards followed her into the courtyard.
Alan was also very surprised when he heard the news of her visit. He received the young congresswoman in the lobby that had just been simply decorated. When she saw Allen, Jessica's eyes moved slightly and said: "Mr. Allen is younger than I thought."
"Why not Miss Jessica."
Jessica said calmly: "My father was in his prime of life, but unfortunately he contracted a sickness and died. Under me, there is still a younger brother. Unfortunately, he was too young to be the only one who was my eldest sister. Stand up and inherit your father’s inheritance. In these years, although the elders in the family have supported you all the way, you can squeeze into the world of your men. How can it be described with hard work. Therefore, I cannot do it."
Allen said moved: "Miss Jessica had this experience, so it can be seen that the young lady is indeed extraordinary."
"Mr. Allen praised." Jessica said again: "I came today, mainly to apologize. Mr. Allen was attacked in a bar under the name of our Chamber of Commerce last night. We have a certain responsibility for this matter. So. We will investigate this matter to the end and help Mr. Allen at the same time."
"So, for the identity of the assailant, does Miss Jessica have any idea?"
"This is not available for the time being. But what is certain is that the other party should regard our chamber of commerce as an enemy, because of the attack last night, it is really a despicable act that kills two birds with one stone." Jessica's eyes flashed awe-inspiringly. "Our Chamber of Commerce has been rooted here for a long time. Just like the name of the bar, Hongliu Bar, we have firmly planted our roots on this land. In Violet Harbor, my family also has a history of more than 100 years. This city The people and things in the country are more or less related to us. Therefore, no matter the chamber of commerce, the bar, or even other industries, similar incidents like last night will rarely happen."
Ellen nodded, Jessica's meaning was clear. Her family has some history in this city, and the relationship with the characters of various forces in the city is also intertwined. Under such circumstances, basically no one will cause trouble in the industry of the Lily Chamber of Commerce. The attack on the Red Willow Bar last night was not only aimed at Allen, but also at the same time to strike at the Lily Chamber of Commerce.
Imagine an influential chamber of commerce, where an attack occurred in a bar operated by it. This is undoubtedly a big slap in the face of the chamber. If Jessica doesn't handle it well, it will even make her partner with the Chamber of Commerce question her ability to be a young family member. That's why Jessica has the idea of "killing two birds with one stone".
"Regarding the identity of the perpetrator, we will continue to investigate. At the moment, please allow us to make corresponding compensation." Jessica smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Allen came here with a batch of cloth? The Lily Chamber of Commerce is engaged in the business of textiles, handicrafts and spices. Maybe we can cooperate in textiles for a long time."
Allen was surprised that if he could cooperate with the Lily Chamber of Commerce, then the fabrics produced in Suhl would not be sold. Of course, Allen would not let this kind of good thing go. He called Sean to accompany Jessica to the warehouse to see the goods.
"Are these made by you?"
In the warehouse, Jessica put a piece of cotton cloth under the light to observe: "The needle eye is very fine and regular. The hand workshop cannot produce such a cloth. Excuse me, Mr. Allen, you used it, it’s difficult. Is it a machine production line?"
This time I was surprised by Ellen. Seeing his expression, Jessica lost his voice: "I guessed it right."
She happily said: "I didn't expect you to have such a technology, my God. Mr. Allen may not know that fabrics produced by such machines are currently only popular in a few cities in the hinterland of the empire. It is true. , The cloth produced by the machine lacks the spirituality of hand weaving, but it is better than stable output and extremely high efficiency."
"Many apparel manufacturers are more willing to use this kind of mechanized products, which can ensure that the quality of every garment they produce is equivalent, not as uneven as hand-made textiles, and the defective rate is extremely high." Jie Sika patted one of the original fabrics and said: "It seems that we can sign a long-term cooperation agreement. I wonder if Mr. Allen is interested?"
"I can't ask for it." Allen smiled.
Leaving the warehouse, Allen introduced Sean to Jessica and bluntly said that Sean would be Sur City’s agent here in the future. Jessica also said that no later than tomorrow, a representative of the Chamber of Commerce will be sent to contact Sean, so the cooperation with the Lily Chamber of Commerce was finalized. What is lacking is a contract.
When Jessica was put on the carriage, the congresswoman poked her head out of the window and said, "Mr. Allen, although we have not yet finalized the identity of the assailant. But I can give you a purely personal one. Prompt."
"Want to hear more." Allen said sternly.
"Dick, Storm City, Roger." Jessica blinked her eyes, with a playful expression, and said: "I can only say so much. As for what Mr. Allen thinks, then don’t It's my business."
The carriage drifted away, and Allen stood for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "Let's go."
Back in the hall, I saw Willick standing desperately by the door, Alan stretched out his hand and shook his eyes: "Are you sick?"
"I'm in love." Willick cried, "Boss, who was that woman just now? She is simply the lover of my dreams."
Allen laughed and said: "Do you like Jessica? This is the first time I saw someone, right?"
"Don't you know that there is something called love at first sight in the world?" Willick said again: "So her name is Jessica, what a wonderful name."
"Little nympho, I have something to say." Allen shook his head and said: "Go call Regis and Adele."
After a while, everyone gathered in the lobby. Allen said: "Everyone, Miss Jessica who visited just now, leave us a very important reminder."
"What hint?" Adele asked.
"Dick, Storm City, Roger." Allen wrapped his arms around his chest and said: "As you can imagine, these three should be connected. This also solves many questions. I was on my way to Violet Harbor before. I thought, the caravans of Storm City also have to pass through the Blood Rock Wasteland. Why do their caravans rarely hear rumors that they will be robbed. At first, I just thought that there was probably an army **** from Storm City. Collusion with the band of bandits of Daddy Dick."
"So, we were attacked by Dick's people, maybe it was also a good thing Storm City did?" Sean said.
Allen nodded and said: "Remember our friction with Storm City soldiers at the Wind Erosion Canyon checkpoint? I was ready to take action at the time, but their commander unexpectedly let us over. It should be that they didn't. Take hold of us and leave us to Dick to handle it."
"And Roger, the attitude of his representative yesterday was very strange. If Roger's Chamber of Commerce and Storm City have cooperation, then this attitude is understandable." Allen said: "Important One thing is that as soon as Roger's representative left, we were attacked. Obviously the other party did not want to drag Roger's people into the water, so the matter was obvious. These killers, even if they weren't Roger's people, had something to do with Roger. "
"In this case, Miss Jessica should have guessed that Roger did it. Why did she still say that there is no clue?" Sean was puzzled.
"It's very simple, after all, Roger is also one of the councillors. Before there is definitive evidence, Jessica can't break his face with Roger." Allen said this, smiling: "This city, people The relationship with people is too much and too complicated. It is inevitable that some things are not easy to put on the table, but we are different. We just came here, whether for us or for the city, each other’s The relationship is still very simple, there is no need to consider too many gains and losses."
"Jessica gave me this tip. The original intention should be to let us go to Roger to settle the accounts. In this way, she not only helped us, but also taught Roger, without sacrificing the friendship between the two sides. This is three birds with one stone, this Jessica, it is not easy." Allen glanced at Willick and smiled: "Even so, do you like her? Willick, I am worried that you will be sold. I'm still in the dark."
Willik hummed: "I will impress her with true love."
Adele and Regis next to them made faces at the same time, and Willick immediately glared at them. Allen waved his hand: "Well, now the opponent is obvious, and it's time to counterattack."
Adele said: "Are you going to deal with Roger? I don't know what to do, knowing that it was used by the woman Jessica, you still..."
"It's okay, Adele." Allen smiled and said, "As I said just now, as newcomers in this city, we are not restricted by too many relationships. So take advantage of this time to open up the situation and at the same time Let others see our strength and determination, which will benefit our future development in this city."
"Speaking of businessmen, there is no time when they are not used. This time she used me, and I will use it next time." Allen looked at Willick with a deep smile and said: "And we still There is a trump card."
Willik suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "Boss, don't look at me with such eyes!" r1058
