Chapter 221 The Desire to Cling
The curfew was finally lifted, and Fein City gradually regained its vitality and vitality, but people will not forget the thousands of Fein citizens who died because of the war.
So at the request of the citizens, the mayor of Fein decided to list that day as an important anniversary. On that day every year in the future, people will commemorate those who died due to the war, and at the same time, they will also pay tribute to Si Yat. tribute to the heroes.
Fisher's name is permanently woven into the city's history in some form.
On a chaotic and old street in Fein City, in a dimly lit room, a foreman with a weathered face stood in front of the mirror, trimming his beard.
He could barely straighten his back due to long-term labor. He slowly turned his head to look at his beautiful little daughter and took a deep breath.
"Sangbel, you are going to meet a big shot today. Remember not to talk nonsense during the whole process. Only if you are respectful enough will you have a chance."
The girl as beautiful as a deer nodded and said softly: "Yes, I understand, father."
Three years ago, she worked as a maid in a wealthy lady's house on this street. Now that Sambel has officially reached adulthood, it's time to get married and find a serious job.
Almost all the boys in the surrounding neighborhood have a crush on Sangbel, and two boys have even expressed their love for her. However, she really doesn't like any of those boys.
The situation in my own family is a little better than that of others, but it is still far worse.
My mother died of illness early after giving birth, my father worked hard in the factory and was bent over from exhaustion, and my sister who worked in the factory died because she was accidentally caught in a machine.
She worked as a maid in a wealthy family for three years and knew the luxurious life of the wealthy. She once saw a baroness spend as much money as her family had saved for several months to buy clothes.
Moreover, the dogs raised by the baronesses all had better food than herself. Sambel would never forget it in her life.
The rich lady who was so arrogant towards her didn't even dare to breathe when facing the baronesses. She was only interested in pleasing her, for fear of being kicked out of the social circle.
Over the past few years, Sangbel's heart has remembered everything!
It would be fine if she was just plain-looking, but now that she is getting more and more beautiful, she becomes more and more unwilling to do so, feeling that she should have more opportunities.
"I hope to be able to enter the family and become an official maid of a big family, or even go one step further..."
The two left the dark and small room. Since they had no money to take a carriage, they walked all the way to a neat and clean neighborhood while it was still early in the day.
Sangbel looked around, and her eyes became excited when she thought that she would probably live in such a beautiful place in the future.
Finally, the two of them arrived at the gate of Baron Naxi's villa in the wealthy area of the city.
"Hello, we have made an appointment before..."
The embarrassed father stepped forward and gave the cold-looking head maid a silver coin before giving his daughter a chance to interview. So Sambel walked into the manor with her head lowered under the scrutiny of the head maid.
She seems very well-behaved.
Sambel had never entered a noble manor, and it was almost difficult to take her eyes away from the beautiful flowers and plants. Soon the excited girl saw the baron's housekeeper.
The old butler with the hooked nose put his hands behind his back and looked at her up and down calmly. His sharp eyes seemed to be evaluating a piece of goods, and he nodded slightly.
"You look good, but that's not necessarily an advantage."
"I'll let you try first. As a trainee servant of our family, you need to learn a lot and do a lot of things. Are you confident?"
"I can learn anything and I will definitely complete my work well." Sangbel said quickly.
Not long after entering the family, Sangbel met the stout Baron Naxi, who was already in his forties. The man also held the position of deputy mayor in the city hall.
At the first glance, she saw how noble Baron Naxi was surrounded by everyone.
The Baron is indeed a rich and powerful man. It would be great if I could become his lover, but how to do it?
Sambell knew very well that it was impossible for her to become a baroness due to her background, so her biggest dream in life was to become the lover of a certain baron.
"I must perform well and find ways to show my charm..."
However, Sambel was completely dumbfounded the next day.
Because she saw with her own eyes that Lord Naxi, Baron Naxi, and he actually kissed a handsome young man in front of the window! And everyone else in the manor looked like they were used to it!
ah?
How could this be? Don’t I have no chance in my life...
Sangbel instantly became depressed.
A few days later, she suddenly learned that a distinguished guest was coming. The entire manor was preparing carefully, so she also prepared. Deep down, she was very curious about who the distinguished guest was.
Finally, the distinguished guest arrived.
He was a man in his thirties, slightly bald, with short hair. He didn't look like anything special, but he had a shrewd light in his eyes.
"Mr. Colin! Hahahahaha! Long time no see, I really miss you!"
Sangbel in the corner was completely stunned!
The usually cold Baron Naxi's attitude took on a new look. He behaved like a big rooster seeking mate, his eyes were full of flattery, and the flattery on his face was not concealed at all!
She thought the barons were the most powerful people in the world.
Who is that Mr. Colin?
Rebuilding the factories and schools in Nasir Town requires a lot of logistics operations. Colin has been very worried recently and has been very tired.
However, even though he has spent a lot of effort, Colin is still full of motivation in his heart. After all, he has reached the second step of the "Contract Road" "Trainer", and his future is still bright.
According to Lord Byrne's inference, he only needs to do his job as a businessman, and it will be easy to continue to digest the sequence power.
Colin smiled and stared at Baron Nasir in front of him. Every time he thought of the possibility of becoming a more powerful existence than these people in the future, he was excited in his heart.
However, when he saw the rumored extraordinary baron showing his goodwill, he still felt a thump in his heart, his body stiffened, but he still smiled politely and said:
"Baron, long time no see, about our business..."
The two talked a lot about business issues. Sang Beier silently observed Mr. Colin for a long time, and in a trance, he felt that the baron was not very attractive, and it was Mr. Colin who was more attractive!
After Colin left, Sang Beier learned from others why the businessman named Colin was sought after by Baron Nashi.
"Don't you know? He is from the Fisher family!"
It turned out that he was a big man working for the legendary Fisher family. He was a "cash cow" in the eyes of many people, and also a "devil who controls money."
Hearing about the family with many rumors, the girl's heart was very excited, as if she might also become one of the rumors.
A few days later, Sang Beier accidentally learned that the baron was going to take a letter to Nashier Town and give it to Mr. Colin.
So her eyes lit up, and she volunteered without hesitation, excitedly saying that she would take on this task.
"Well, okay, Sang Beier."
Baron Nashi looked at Sang Beier with interest, as if he saw through the girl's true thoughts deep in her heart, but the young Sang Beier didn't care about those.
He stared at his maid and said:
"I'll give you a chance, Sanbel. Next, you and the butler will go to Fisher Manor in Nasir Town. Mr. Colin should still be there."
"No matter what he asks of you, I hope you won't object."
"Yes, I understand!" Sanbel was very excited and nodded repeatedly.
After a long and difficult journey, Sanbel finally arrived at Nasir Town in the northeast. She was shocked to find that this town, which should have been prosperous, was still under reconstruction. The workers on the road looked full of energy and everyone was full of energy.
Finally, she came to Fisher Manor, which was still under renovation and expansion.
The magnificent manor stands among lush trees and gorgeous flowers. The gate of the manor is built of ancient stones. In front of the gate is a winding boulevard, with bright roses and delicate peonies planted on both sides.
The garden of the manor was carefully designed, and the clear stream flowed slowly. Sanbel and others walked through the carefully arranged flower beds and saw several rows of trees casting mottled light and shadows.
What a beautiful place!
Sang Beier was filled with surprise and joy in her heart. She took a deep breath of the sweet air and wished she could stay here forever.
Soon she saw Mr. Colin, and besides him, there were many servants coming and going with their backs straight.
"Hello, Mr. Colin, I'm here to deliver a letter for Lord Baron Nashi..."
Sang Beier walked over with a smile, and at the same time subconsciously observed the servants. Suddenly, she was completely discouraged, and a huge sense of inferiority could not stop coming to her heart.
Because among the many servants of the Fisher family, there were many girls who looked no less beautiful than her, and those trained servants had good temperament.
Standing here, she looked very ordinary and inconspicuous.
The capital she was proud of could be seen everywhere in a real big family.
"Okay, thank you for coming all the way here."
Colin came over politely, took the letter, and did not open it immediately, but handed it to the servant beside him. He did not look at Sang Beier at all, but just smiled at Baron Nashi's butler.
"Stay at Fisher Manor to rest for a night before leaving."
His proposal was accepted by the butler, and Sang Beier's heart was moved. This was a good opportunity to contact the Fisher family!
What if, what if a member of the Fisher family would meet her by chance?
What frustrated Sang Beier even more was that the butler and she did not live in the main building, but in another mansion nearby.
There were more than a dozen other guests from all over the East Coast living there. The two of them did not have any special treatment at all, and they had no chance to meet important members of the Fisher family.
After opening the letter in the room, Colin smiled indifferently.
"So that's how it is. Baron Nasi embezzled disaster relief funds and was caught by Brother Yager, who then secretly handed the evidence to Lord Byrne. He wrote a letter to beg for mercy and compromise... Well, he was willing to pay half of the money to Fisher, and even promised to give me the girl as a plaything."
"I play with the greedy, not women."
He shook his head slightly and said disdainfully:
"What a stupid and ignorant guy, he even dared to reach out for the money to rebuild the city of Fein. You should wait for Lord Byrne to come back and let him decide your fate!"
