Chapter 345 Tips

The next day, Allen welcomed a special visitor. It was Mr. Jessica, the owner of the Red Willow Bar and the president of the "Perfume Lily" Chamber of Commerce.

Jessica is much younger than Allen imagined, in her early twenties anyway. The long golden hair hangs down in the middle and is gathered behind the head at the shoulders. It is fastened with a brooch inlaid with precious stones, and the hair is allowed to hang straight down like a waterfall. She is wearing a dark purple dress, and the tall stand-up collar shirt is decorated with lace at the waistline and cuffs. The waist is very high, full of the taste of this era. The long skirt reaches the floor, and the pattern of lilies is embroidered on the hem of the skirt, and the stamens are decorated with pearls and jade.

Her outline is deep, coupled with that tall figure, the whole person's temperament is very prominent. Even if you throw her in the crowd, someone with a heart can recognize her at a glance. But there is always a just right smile on her face, which blurs the sharpness carved between the eyebrows, making her look approachable.

As one of the most influential people in Violet Harbor, Jessica's visiting team is surprisingly simple. A carriage was parked outside the courtyard, and there were only two strong guards following her into the courtyard.

Allen was also very surprised to hear of her visit, and he received the young congresswoman in the simply furnished hall. When seeing Allen, Jessica's eyes moved slightly, and said: "Mr. Allen is younger than I thought."

"Miss Jessica is not like that."

Jessica said indifferently: "My father was in the prime of life, but unfortunately he contracted a serious disease and died. Under me, there was a younger brother. It's a pity that he was too young back then, so only my elder sister stood up to inherit Father's career. Although I have been supported by the elders in the family all these years, it is hard work to be able to squeeze into the world of your men like a girl. So, I can't do it like this."

Allen said movedly: "Miss Jessica still has this experience, so it can be seen that Miss Jessica does have something special."

"Mr. Allen praised." Jessica said again: "I came today mainly to apologize. Mr. Allen was attacked at the bar under the name of our chamber of commerce last night. We have certain responsibilities for this matter. So this matter , we will investigate to the end, and at the same time help Mr. Allen."

"Then, does Miss Jessica have any idea about the identity of the perpetrator?"

"Not yet. But what is certain is that the other party should regard our Chamber of Commerce as an enemy, because the attack last night is really a despicable act that kills two birds with one stone." Jessica's beautiful eyes flashed awe-inspiring expression, and said: "We The Chamber of Commerce has taken root here for a long time, just like the name of the bar, Red Willow Bar, we have already firmly planted our roots on this land. In Violet Harbor, my family has a history of more than a hundred years. The people of this city and This matter has more or less something to do with us. Therefore, whether it is a chamber of commerce, a bar, or even other industries, it is rare for a similar incident to happen last night."

Allen nodded,

What Jessica meant was clear. Her family already has some history in this city, and the relationship with the characters of various forces in the city is also intricate. Under such circumstances, basically no one would cause trouble in the industry of the Lily Chamber of Commerce. The attack at the Red Willow Bar last night was not only aimed at Allen, but also to attack the Lily Chamber of Commerce.

Imagine a chamber of commerce with great influence. An attack occurred in a bar operated by it. This is undoubtedly a big slap in the face for the chamber of commerce. If Jessica doesn't handle it well, it will even make her partners in the chamber of commerce question her ability to be a young head of the family. That's why Jessica said "kill two birds with one stone".

"As for 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 this time with a batch of fabrics? Our Lily Chamber of Commerce is engaged in It is the business of textiles, handicrafts and spices. Perhaps, we can cooperate in the field of textiles for a long time.”

Allen was very surprised. If he could cooperate with the Lily Chamber of Commerce, then the fabrics produced in Sur City would have no market in the future. Of course, Allen would not let this kind of good thing go, so he immediately called Sean and accompanied Jessica to the warehouse to inspect the goods.

"Are these produced by you?"

In the warehouse, Jessica put a piece of cut cotton cloth under the light and observed: "The needle holes are very fine and regular. Hand workshops cannot produce such cloth. Forgive me, Mr. Allen, what you use is as difficult as the machine production line." ?”

This time it was Allen who was surprised. Seeing his expression, Jessica lost her voice: "I guessed it right."

She said happily: "I didn't expect you to have such technology, my God. Mr. Allen may not know that the fabric produced by this kind of machine is currently only popular in a few cities in the hinterland of the empire. It is true that using machines The produced fabric lacks the spirituality of hand-woven fabrics, but it has a stable output and high efficiency."

"Many apparel manufacturers are more willing to use this kind of mechanized products, which can ensure that the quality of each piece of clothing they produce is the same, instead of being uneven like hand-spun products, and the defective rate is extremely high." Jessica shot He patted one of the original cloths and said, "It seems that we can sign a long-term cooperation agreement. I don't know if Mr. Allen is interested?"

"I wish for it." Allen smiled.

Leaving the warehouse, Alan introduced Sean to Jessica, and bluntly said that Sean is the agent of Sur City in the future. Jessica also said that tomorrow at the latest, a representative of the Chamber of Commerce will be sent to contact Sean, so the cooperation with the Lily Chamber of Commerce is finalized in this way. What is lacking is a contract.

When sending Jessica into the carriage, the congresswoman poked her head out of the car window and said, "Mr. Allen, although we have not finalized the identity of the perpetrator, I can give you a purely personal reminder."

"I would like to hear the details." Allen said seriously.

"Dick, Storm City, Roger." Jessica blinked, with a playful expression, and said, "That's all I can say, as for what Mr. Allen thinks, that's none of my business It's over."

The carriage drifted away, and Allen stood for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Back in the hall, I saw Willick standing by the door in a daze, and Alan stretched out his hand and shook in front of his eyes: "Are you sick?"

"I'm in love." Willick yelled, "Boss, who was that woman just now? She's the girl of my dreams."

Allen laughed and said, "You like Jessica? This is the first time I've seen her, right?"

"Don't you know that there is something called love at first sight?" Willick said again: "So her name is Jessica, what a wonderful name."

"Don't be an idiot, I have something to talk about." Allen shook his head and said, "Go and call Regis and Adele."

After a while, everyone gathered in the hall. Allen said: "Everyone, Miss Jessica who visited just now, left us a very important reminder."

"What hint?" Adele asked.

"Dick, Storm City, Roger." Allen folded his arms and said, "It is conceivable that these three should be related to each other. This also solved many questions. I was thinking on the way to Violet Harbor before, Storm The caravans in the city also have to go through the Blood Rock Wasteland, so why do they seldom hear rumors that their caravans will be robbed? At first I just thought that they might be escorted by the army of Storm City, but now it seems that Storm City and old Dick Father's group of robbers colluded with each other."

"In this way, we were attacked by Dick's people, I'm afraid it was a good thing for Storm City?" Sean said.

Allen nodded and said, "Remember the friction we had with the Storm City soldiers at the Wind-Erosion Canyon checkpoint? At that time, I was ready to make a move, but their chief accidentally let us pass. It should be that they were not sure about keeping us. We, just leave us to Dick to deal with."

"And Roger, the attitude of his representative yesterday was very strange. If Roger's Chamber of Commerce cooperates with Storm City, then such an attitude is understandable." Allen said: "The important point is, As soon as Roger's representative left, we were attacked. Obviously the other party didn't want to drag Roger's people into trouble, so it became obvious. Even if these killers are not Roger's people, they have something to do with Roger."

"Since this is the case, Miss Jessica should have guessed that Roger did it, why did she say that there is no clue?" Sean was puzzled.

"It's very simple. After all, Roger is also one of the councilors. Before there is no definite evidence, Jessica can't tear herself apart with Roger." Allen said with a smile: "In this city, the relationship between people There are too many and complicated relationships between them. It is inevitable that some things are not easy to put on the table, but we are different. We have just arrived here, whether it is for us or for this city, the relationship between each other is still very close. Simple, don't have to think too much about gains and losses."

"Jessica gave me this hint. The original intention should be to let us go to Roger to settle accounts. In this way, she not only helped us, but also taught Roger a lesson, without destroying the friendship between the two parties on the table. This is Killing three birds with one stone, this Jessica is really not easy." Allen glanced at Willick and said with a smile: "Even so, do you like her? Willick, I am worried that you will be betrayed by others In the drum."

Willick snorted, "I'll impress her with true love."

Adele and Regis next to him made faces at the same time, and Willick glared at them immediately. Allen waved his hand and said, "Okay, now that the opponent is obvious, it's time to counterattack."

Adele said: "Are you going to deal with Roger? I don't think so. You know you're being used by that woman Jessica, but you still..."

"It's okay, Adele." Allen smiled and said, "As I said just now, as newcomers in this city, we haven't been restricted by too many relationships. So take advantage of this time to open up the situation and let other parties People who see our strength and determination will benefit our future development in this city."

"Besides, among businessmen, there is no time when they are not used. She used me this time, and I will use it next time." Allen looked at Willick meaningfully, and smiled: "And we still have a trump card Woolen cloth."

Willick suddenly broke out in cold sweat: "Boss, don't look at me like that!" r1058
