The next day, Alan welcomed a special visitor. It was none other than the owner of the Red Willow Bar, Councilor Jessica, the president of the "Perfume Lily" Chamber of Commerce.

Jessica was much younger than Allen had imagined, no more than in her early twenties. Her long blonde hair falls down in the middle and at the back of her head at her shoulders, fastened with jewel-encrusted pins, and falls straight down like a waterfall. She wore a dark purple skirt and a towering stand-up collar shirt with lace trim on the waistline and cuffs. The girdle is high and full of the flavor of this era. The long skirt reaches the floor, embroidered with a lily motif at the hem and embellished with jewels at the stamens.

Her silhouette is profound, coupled with that tall figure, the temperament of the whole person is very prominent. Even if you throw her in the sea of people, people with a heart can recognize her at a glance. But she always had the right smile on her face, blurring the sharpness engraved between her eyebrows, making her look approachable.

As one of the most influential people in Violet Harbor, Jessica's team for this visit was surprisingly simple. A carriage stopped outside the courtyard, and she was followed into the courtyard by only two sturdy guards.

Alan was also surprised to hear the news of her visit, and he received the young congresswoman in the hall that had just passed through the simple decoration. When she saw Alan, Jessica's eyes also moved slightly, and she said, "Mr. Allen is younger than I imagined. ”

"Miss Jessica, not so."

Jessica said indifferently: "My father was in the prime of life, but unfortunately contracted a vicious disease and died. Below me, there is a younger brother. It's a pity that he was too young back then, so only my eldest sister stood up to inherit his father's business. Although there are elders in the family who have supported them all the way over the years, they can squeeze into your man's world as a woman, how can it be described as hard work. So, I can't do it. ”

Alan said movingly: "Miss Jessica still has this experience, which shows that Miss is indeed extraordinary. ”

"Mr. Allen complimented." Jessica said: "I came here today mainly to apologize. Mr. Allen was attacked last night at a bar under the name of our Chamber of Commerce, and we have some responsibility for this. So this matter, we will get to the end and help Mr. Allen at the same time. ”

"So, does Miss Jessica have an eye on the identity of the assailant?"

"Not yet. However, what is certain is that the other side should regard our Chamber of Commerce as an enemy, because last night's attack was a despicable act that kills two birds with one stone. Jessica's beautiful eyes flashed with awe, and she said, "Our chamber of commerce has been rooted here for a long time, just like the name of the bar, Red Willow Bar, we have long been firmly rooted in this land. My family has a history of more than 100 years in Violet Harbour, and the people and things in this city have a certain relationship with us. So, whether it's a chamber of commerce, a bar, or even any other industry, it's rare for something like last night to happen. ”

Alan nodded, and Jessica's meaning was clear. Her family has some history in the city, and the relationship with the characters of various forces in the city is also intertwined. In such a situation, basically no one will make trouble in the industry of the Lily Chamber of Commerce. And last night's attack on the Red Willow Bar was not only aimed at Allen, but also to crack down on the Lily Chamber of Commerce.

Imagine an influential chamber of commerce, and the attack on the bar it operates, 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 as a young head of the family, so Jessica will have the saying of "killing two birds with one stone".

"Regarding the identity of the perpetrators, we will continue to investigate. And for now, allow us to compensate accordingly. Jessica smiled, "I heard that Mr. Allen came with a batch of fabrics this time?" We at the Lily Chamber are engaged in the business of textiles, crafts and spices. Perhaps, we can cooperate in the field of textiles for a long time. ”

Alan was surprised, if he could cooperate with the Lily Chamber of Commerce, then the fabrics produced in Suer City would not have to worry about no sales. Of course, Alan will not let go of this kind of good thing, and called Sean at the moment to accompany Jessica to the warehouse to see the goods.

"You produced these?"

In the warehouse, Jessica put a cut cotton cloth under the light and observed: "The eye of the needle is very fine and regular. The handicraft workshop can't produce such a cloth, with all due respect, Mr. Allen, what you have adopted, the difficulty is the machine qì production line? ”

This time, Alan was surprised, and seeing his expression, Jessica lost her voice and said, "I guessed right." ”

She was delighted, "I didn't expect you to have such technology, oh my God." Mr. Allen may not have known that fabrics such as this were currently popular in only a few cities in the hinterland of the empire. It is true that the cloth produced by the machine lacks the spirituality of hand-weaving, but it is superior in terms of stable output and extremely high efficiency. ”

"Many apparel manufacturers prefer to use this kind of mechanized product, which can ensure that the quality of each garment they produce is the same, and not as uneven as hand-spun, and the defective rate is extremely high." Jessica patted one of the original cloths 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." Alan smiled.

Leaving the warehouse, Alan introduces Sean to Jessica, and bluntly says that Sean is the agent here in the future of Sur City. Jessica also said that by tomorrow at the latest, a representative of the Chamber of Commerce would also be sent to contact Sean, so the matter of cooperating with the Lily Chamber of Commerce was finalized. What is missing is a paper contract.

When Jessica was put in the carriage, the congresswoman poked her head out of the car window and said, "Mr. Allen, we have not yet decided on the identity of the perpetrator. But I can give you a purely personal hint. ”

"I want to hear about it." Alan is colorful.

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

As the carriage drifted away, Alan stood for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Let's go." ”

Back in the hall, he saw Willik standing by the door in despair, and Alan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes: "Are you sick?" ”

"I'm in love." Willik shouted, "Chief, who was that woman just now?" She's just the girl of my dreams. ”

Alan laughed and said, "You like Jessica?" This is the first time I've seen someone, right? ”

"Don't you know that there is such a thing as love at first sight?" Willik added, "So her name is Jessica, what a wonderful name." ”

"Less nymphomaniac, I have something to say." Alan shook his head and said, "Go and call Regis and Adele." ”

Moments later, the crowd assembled in the hall. Alan said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Jessica, who has just visited, has left us with a very important note. ”

"What's the hint?" Adele asked.

"Dick, Storm City, Roger." Alan put his hands around his chest and said, "It is conceivable that these three should be related to each other. This also cleared up a lot of questions, and I had been wondering why the caravans of Storm City had to pass through the Bloodrock Wastes as well, and why their caravans had rarely heard rumors of being looted. At first, I just thought it was probably Stormtown's army escort, but now it seems that Stormtown and Dick's gang of bandits are colluding with each other. ”

"So, we were attacked by Dick's people, and I'm afraid it's a good thing that Storm City did?" Sean said.

Alan nodded and said, "Remember the friction we had with the soldiers of Storm City at the Wind Erosion Canyon level?" I was ready to do it, but their commander unexpectedly let us go. It must be that they were not sure to keep us, so they simply handed us over to Dick to deal with. ”

"And Roger, who yesterday had a very strange attitude on his part. If Roger's Chamber of Commerce has a cooperation with Storm City, then such an attitude can be understood. "The important point is that as soon as Roger's representative left, we were attacked," Allen said. Apparently the other side is reluctant to drag Roger's man into the water, then the matter is obvious. These killers are related to Roger, even if they are not Roger's people. ”

"In that case, Miss Jessica should have guessed that Roger did this, why do you still say that there is no clue?" Sean wondered.

"It's simple, after all, Roger is also one of the councillors. Without conclusive evidence, Jessica couldn't afford to tear up her face with Roger. Allen said this, smiled and said: "In this city, there are too many relationships between people, and they are too complicated. Inevitably, some things are not good on the table, but we are different. We've just been here, and for us and for the city, our relationship is very simple, and we don't have to think too much about the trade-offs. ”

"Jessica gave me this hint with the intention of letting us settle accounts with Roger ourselves. In this way, she not only helped us, but also taught Roger a lesson, without destroying the friendship between the two parties. It's a triple win, this Jessica, it's really not easy. Alan glanced at Willik and smiled, "Even so, do you like her?" Willik, I'm afraid you've been sold and kept in the dark. ”

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

Adele and Regers grimaced at the same time, and Willik glared at them. Alan waved his hand and said, "Okay, now that the opponent is obvious, it's time to fight back." ”

Adele said, "Are you going to deal with Roger?" I don't think it's appropriate, I know that I was being used by Jessica's woman, and you still ......"

"It's okay, Adele." Alan smiled, "As I said earlier, as newcomers to this city, we haven't been constrained by too many relationships. Therefore, taking advantage of this time to open up the situation, and at the same time let other people see our strength and determination, will be beneficial to our future development in this city. ”

"Besides, there is no time when businessmen are not taken advantage of. This time she used me, and next time I will use it back. Alan looked at Willik meaningfully and smiled, "And we have another trump card." ”

Willik suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Boss, don't look at me with such eyes!" ”R1058
