Chapter 45 Viscount Prozolov (Part 2)

As mentioned earlier, Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich, Li Xiao's cheap father, has many lovers, and these lovers actually left him with several illegitimate children. At least two of them are clearly recorded in history. indivual.

Obviously, the Viscount Prozolov walking in front of Li Xiao is one of his cheap brothers.

After figuring this out, to be honest, Li Xiao was a little embarrassed, because he was completely unprepared, and he didn't know the purpose of this cheap old man's sudden visit to him. Anyway, he definitely didn't come to express his brotherhood. Because they should have come here long before they wanted to start a relationship, and according to what this person just said, the relationship between Li Xiao's cheap mother and Polakova is not good, so it is unlikely that they are as close as sisters.

Thinking about it, Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich must be the favorite target of millions of socialites who want to climb high. The competition among them is not usually fierce. Maybe Polakova and Li Xiao's old mother fought openly and secretly for countless rounds.

In the end, Li Xiao's old mother won the victory, and Polakova must be full of resentment. It's no wonder that the relationship between the two families is so good.

Naturally, Li Xiao was very wary of Viscount Prozolov's sudden visit, not knowing what this cheap old man wanted to do.

"Don't be nervous my brother, I don't mean anything malicious, I don't want to strangle you and your mother like my mother..."

Well, this topic sounds so strange, anyway, instead of making Li Xiao feel relaxed, it made him more vigilant.

"I'm not interested in the grievances of my mother's generation. I didn't come to settle accounts with you." Looking at Li Xiao, Viscount Prozolov said with a smile, "Of course I didn't come to beg you for a meal. As you can see, I'm doing well, so I won't ask you to give me a half-time job!"

Li Xiao didn't believe it, so he kept calm and asked, "Then you're here to catch up on the old days?"

Viscount Prozolov laughed again: "I don't have that much free time. I just ran from St. Petersburg to Bucharest to catch up on the past, and if I want to catch up on the old days, I can do it in St. Petersburg. There is no need to delay it until now!"

On this point, Viscount Prozolov was very frank and unabashed, meaning he didn't look like a hypocritical hypocrite.

"Then what is your purpose?"

Prozolov laughed again, and said loudly, "I'm here to seek cooperation!"

Li Xiao was stunned, he didn't understand what he and Viscount Prozolov could cooperate with,

Do you do business?

Viscount Prozolov saw Li Xiao's doubts, laughed and said, "Sorry, I didn't make it clear. I work in the third department, and I was appointed as the director of the third department in Moldavia not long ago!"

Li Xiao was taken aback, and looked this cheap old man up and down again, because the background of the other party may be bigger than he imagined, because the director of the third part really has great power, and basically it must be Nico Only the "loyal ministers" and "official officials" recognized by La I can serve.

Especially Viscount Prozolov's age is really a bit too young. To be the senior leader of the third part at such a young age, one can imagine how ruthless his wrist is. Such a person is definitely not the one he showed before look.

Immediately, Li Xiao began to re-examine this cheap brother, but the latter was so calm and casual, with a completely indifferent attitude.

Li Xiao asked cautiously, "What do you mean by cooperation?"

Prozolov did not directly answer this question, but introduced again: "In addition, I should also explain that I am serving Grand Duke Constantine!"

Li Xiao was taken aback immediately, and re-examined Brother Cheap again. He really didn't expect that the other party turned out to be a member of Grand Duke Constantine. However, considering that Grand Duke Constantine has just been appointed as the governor of Moldavia, he must have a few confidantes if he wants to sit firmly as the governor, and Viscount Prozolov is actually the confidant of Grand Duke Constantine. It was unexpected.

"You should know my personal relationship with Grand Duke Constantine, right?" Li Xiao asked meaningfully.

This made Viscount Prozolov laugh out loud, and he replied after a while, "What is that? You should have heard that there are only eternal interests but no eternal enemies, right?"

These words made Li Xiao look a little different, because understanding this truth shows that Viscount Prozolov is not simple, and it seems that he is not the kind of loyal fool, everything is based on profit.

But Li Xiao didn't believe all of this, because the mouths of people in the officialdom are really deceitful ghosts. When they ask for something, they have one attitude, but when they turn their faces and deny people, they probably have another attitude.

So Li Xiao just smiled and said, "Duke Constantine thinks so too?"

Viscount Prozolov showed an unexpected expression for the first time, because Li Xiao's questioning showed that he had a good understanding of the character of Grand Duke Constantine, because this little fat man is really a grudger.

"That's not important!" Viscount Prozolov replied lightly, as if he could be the head of the Grand Duke Constantine.

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "It's easy to say, but how can you convince me?"

Viscount Prozolov replied: "I don't need to convince you, it's determined by reality! You should know that the recent situation of Grand Duke Constantine is not very good, right?"

Li Xiao laughed, and then Viscount Prozolov also laughed, and the two seemed to have a tacit understanding.

After a while, Li Xiao asked, "How do you plan to cooperate with His Highness Grand Duke Constantine?"

Viscount Prozolov nodded in satisfaction, as if he was very satisfied with Li Xiao's question, he replied unhurriedly: "The relationship between Moldavia and Wallachia can be closer, and the two grand duchies can be economically , military and various aspects to carry out all-round cooperation..."

This answer made Li Xiao dissatisfied, because what he wanted to know was not in which fields to cooperate, but in what way to cooperate. Only after figuring this out can he judge whether he can cooperate.

So he interrupted without hesitation: "What I want to know is how to cooperate and how to cooperate!"

Viscount Prozolov showed such an expression, he sighed slightly: "His Excellency, I hope that the two sides can have a high degree of trust and cooperate with him as the main force. It is best to cooperate with Wallachia..."

Li Xiao interrupted him mercilessly again, and refused directly: "This is impossible! Moldavia is a mess, and with all due respect, at the level of your grand duke, I'm not qualified to talk about him as the main one!"
