I am Lapland’s rat!

If Lapland really found another breakthrough from Miss Margaret through the flying beast, it would be difficult for him to control Lapland as he thought before!

"Okay, let's go then..."

With that said, Swanov wanted to drag Lapland into the ballroom.

But Lapland, who was wearing a formal dress, took a step aside, looked at the door, and asked doubtfully: "Who is that?"

"Huh?" Swanov couldn't help but turn his head, and then he was shocked.

I saw that Mr. Walter, who had a stern face and a serious smile in front of many guests, actually showed a bright smile at this time!

He took two steps forward and stretched out his hands to meet a gray-haired Perot man who slowly climbed up the steps.

As for the tall Miss Margaret, she was standing cautiously aside, obviously only serving as an escort.

The gray-haired Perot man finally climbed up the steps. His face was much younger than many business tycoons, with a hearty and energetic smile on his face.

What is even more eye-catching is that this Perot did not wear an evening dress or suit like many of the male guests present, but only wore a casual shirt, and his outfit was just barely on the edge of being decent. .

But no one around him looked down upon this Pero because of his clothes. Men and women gathered from a distance and watched Pero smiling as an equal and shaking hands with Mr. Walter intimately:

"Stanley, and little Margaret, long time no see."

"No way, Mr. Quinn, I feel like the last time we met was yesterday, and I feel like you are much younger than yesterday!"

Mr. Walter laughed and said to Quinn, sparking a burst of laughter around him.

"...Stop looking!" Swanov exclaimed in a low voice, asking Lapland to quickly enter the ballroom and not stay here:

"Lapland, this is not an area we can touch."

"Who is that?" Lapland asked again doubtfully.

Swanov swallowed and said quietly and quickly: "That is the director of the Tremont City Economic Development Bureau, Mr. Quinn Manfast. Even though he looks so young, he is actually over 40 years old." Years old. The Economic Development Authority—do you know what the Economic Development Authority is?”

"Tremont - all economic development strategies, industrial policies, investment promotion and business management of this entire dream city are the responsibility of the Economic Development Bureau. He is the senior official that our businessmen want to get in touch with most. , even more important than the mayor!”

"Do you remember the two officials we met a few days ago? Those two people are actually just the directors of a certain group of the Business Management Section under the Economic Development Bureau!"

"And he is the director of the Economic Development Bureau! Do you still want to ask why Mr. Walter is so friendly to Mr. Manfast?"

Wu Xian listened to the entire conversation in the cage: "..."

"Everyone who talks about showing off is better than the last one, right?"

Chapter 19 Intimidation

After listening to Swanov's words, Lapland's eyes moved and he finally nodded.

Swanov also breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked back at the situation in front of the gate, he found that Mr. Manfast was actually looking towards him.

Swanov's legs straightened up in fear, and the expression on his face changed quickly, and he smiled at Quinn.

I don't know if Swanov saw it wrong, but he noticed some changes in the expression on Quinn's face, which made the Ussian a little nervous and expectant.

Does Mr. Quinn know me?

However, Quinn soon turned back and continued talking to Mr. Walter.

Swanov also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called Lapland, taking Lapland into the main hall.

The banquet hall of the Margaret Hotel is extremely spacious, with magnificent chandeliers hanging from above, a bright carpet spread in the center of the dance floor, and long tables covered with white tablecloths around it filled with exquisite snacks.

Relaxing serenade reverberated in the main hall. Between the long table and the dance floor, the small round table and the salon, guests could be seen everywhere smiling and chatting.

Walking among the guests were well-dressed waiters, with plates holding several glasses of champagne in their hands. As long as a guest called, the waiters would walk over smoothly and offer champagne for a pleasant chat. .

Even though Lapland was born in Saluzzo, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment by this grand scene.

The evening dress with the family logo removed from her body came from the best private tailoring workshop in Syracuse, but nowadays on such a large dance floor, such clothing is only at the level that can be seen everywhere.

And Swanov, who can choke an entrepreneur with just a few words, is just a middle- and lower-class figure here.

……

"Okay." Swanov seemed very tolerant, "Lapland, I will take you to find our circle."

It is normal for a girl from a remote country to never see the market.

Lapland came back to his senses, carried Wu Xian, and headed to the side of the dance hall with Swanov.

It is still in the welcome phase, and the ballroom is full of chatting guests. At this stage, snacks and champagne in the dining car and on the long table are available for free.

For a social dance, this stage is also a good time for guests to find and integrate into their respective circles.

The dance officially started when the Walts and his daughter returned to the ballroom, announced the start of the dance as the hosts and danced an opening dance together.

Swanov took Lapland to the corner of the ballroom, where there was a small salon where about three or four people were sitting on the sofa, drinking and talking to each other.

Among them were the two officials whom Lapland went to inquire about. Seeing Swanov coming with Lapland, they all stood up with smiles:

"Mr. Swanov, Miss Lapland."

Apparently, they all knew Lapland.

But Swanov still introduced with a smile: "Everyone, this is Lapland Saluzzo from Syracuse. Everyone knows that under my care, she is about to go to Tremont. Opening a security company has now entered the final stage of background investigation. In the future, you can also help me more, and she will be one of ours from now on."

"Lapland, come on, let me introduce you."

"..."

Before Lapland said anything, Wu Xian, who was squatting in the cage, shook his beard and said, "...Are you kidding? I'm going to vomit."

He already understood what was going on!

Swanov is showing off his muscles.He maintained his own respectability while also maintaining Lapland's respectability.

Although he didn't say a word to intimidate Lapland, along the way, if Lapland was an ordinary woman from Syracuse, seeing such a grand ball, she realized that she had been exposed to When the rules of a huge society are just the tip of the iceberg, and faced with the opportunity that she can hardly resist to join the upper class, will she refuse to join Swanov's small circle?

And once you agree, things become much easier.As long as she discovers that things will become easier if she obeys Swanov, and realizes how much impetus the rules themselves can give to her career, how can she resist Swanov's control of her company, or in her company? What about the requirement to get involved in life?

This is exactly what Swanov meant when he said "under his care"!

Moreover, Lapland did not even need to sell his dignity to do this, because both Swanov and his friends treated Lapland with kindness and equality on the surface, even in the eyes of outsiders. , Lapland may still be unscrupulous and free.

She only paid a little bit, but a huge world unfolded for her!

But Wu Xian knew that Lapland would not do this. He raised his head and looked at Lapland with a calm expression through the cage, expecting Lapland to smile and reject Si with a wolf posture. Vanov.

"..."

Lapland said nothing.

In Swanov's eyes, Lapland's expression was calm. She remained silent, expressing neither agreement nor objection.

This made Swanov very embarrassed. He turned around and stared at Lapland. Behind his friends, he whispered to Lapland in an annoyed voice: "Say something back! You are so rude!" "

Swanov didn't believe that Lapland still harbored thoughts of resistance at this time. She had already agreed to his invitation to the ball, and she saw such a scene again!

No country woman can refuse such a quick way to enter the upper class society!

Therefore, Swanov felt a little angrily that Lapland must be in a daze.

This will not work!

Even if he is a lover, if he stays too late to take him out to meet people, he will be very embarrassed!

Seeing that Lapland still didn't reply, Swanov took a step closer, and the expression on his somewhat chubby face became a little sinister: "Lapland, don't think about things you shouldn't think about."

"Don't make everyone look bad."

Lapland's lips finally moved, but when she was about to say something, the exclamations and greetings of two officials suddenly sounded from behind Swanov:

"Mr. Mannfast!"

"Good evening, Mr. Mannfast!"

Swanov: "?!"

The Ussian quickly looked over Lapland's shoulder and looked behind her. Sure enough, he saw a gray-haired Pero young man walking happily towards this side. As he walked, he smiled and waved his hands to reject the invitations from people around him to talk. !

It's really Quinn Manfast!

Why did he come here?

Swanov suddenly felt a burst of surprise in his heart:

Mr. Manfast glanced at me just now. Could he be coming to find me?

Chapter 20 The situation reverses

The company I opened was taken aback by Mr. Mannfast?

In such an unbelievable thought, Swanov took a step forward, left Lapland's side, and greeted Quinn who was walking towards him with a smile on his face.

This is a great joy!

In the face of such good things, Lapland's matter is nothing to Swanov. He can just throw her aside first and then train her!

But things were very different from what Swanov had in mind.

Quinn just walked slowly towards Lapland, completely unaware of Swanov who came up to him happily, and passed by the Ursus who reached out to him with a blind eye.

Then, he went straight to Lapland, who had just turned around with Wu Xian in his arms, and said with a decent smile:

"Hello, miss. I'm Quinn Manfast."

"—"

The expressions on the faces of the two Economic Development Bureau officials who were preparing to greet their bosses with Swanov suddenly became wonderful when Quinn first said hello to the silent Lapland.

And Swanov was even more at a loss. His hand remained in the same position as to greet Quinn and even shake hands with him.

Then, Quinn's greeting was like a bolt of lightning striking his forehead, shaking him to pieces and leaving him confused.

what?

Swanov stood there like a stone sculpture.

——Fortunately, no one around him paid attention to Swanov at this time. Their eyes were all focused on Lapland, who was greeted by Quinn, and they curiously observed this unknown lady.

Who could be so favored by Mr. Mannfast?

And why would a lady with such an identity be in such a marginalized position in the dance hall?

Among the many eyes, the calm expression on Lapland's face finally changed.

She frowned slightly and then relaxed, her eyes met Quinn for a second, and she quickly looked at Quinn from top to bottom without being noticed.

Then, she keenly caught Quinn's gaze shaking for a moment. Following that shaking, Lapland glanced at Wu Xian in her hand.

"..."

Aha.

Lapland suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, showing a rare wry smile: "Hello, sir, I am Lapland Saluzzo."

She stretched out the hand that wasn't holding Wu Xian's hand and shook hands with Quinn, who also stretched out her hand at this time.

"Let's talk?" Quinn smiled happily and politely made a "please" gesture, guiding Lapland to the middle of the hall.

"Of course." Lapland's bitter smile faded slightly. She took a deep breath, and the expression on her face returned to a calm smile.

……

Swanov and everyone watched blankly as Lapland carried the lion cage and followed Quinn out of the corner of the ballroom.

He did not expect such a thing to happen at all. After the huge shock, his brain started to work and he savored this fact:

Mr. Quinn Mannfast, the director of the Economic Development Bureau, became interested in Lapland and invited Lapland directly in public.

Invited Lapland, whom he thought he had under control just now!

what?

Why does Quinn Manfast know Lapland?

This is totally unreasonable!

Sorting out the truth before him did not calm down Swanov. Instead, the Ussian's heart began to beat wildly. His face turned red with shame, and his head seemed to explode.

How is this possible, how is this possible?

The fact that he was not favored by Mr. Manfast was second to none, and he did not expect this at first - but, Lapland, she is just a village girl, why should she be valued by Mr. Manfast?
