Chapter 226: The ancient method of choosing a child, the boss's wisdom in matching couples

What answer did Mrs. Bowles want to get from Liu Yonglu? First of all, she wanted to let Liu Yonglu sweat.

The Weiss family is large, but only half of them actually know what the Investigation Department does. The other half only know that it is an intelligence department under the government and responsible to the royal family.

Mrs. Bowles was one of them. In her mind, she still applied the logic of other government departments. If a young person could be promoted and climb up the ladder, he must either be of aristocratic birth or have relied on nepotism to get to the top.

Or they are emerging aristocrats, whose families are factory owners or bankers, and who have built up their status through money.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who rely on their own abilities to climb up step by step, but even these people often rely on the first two categories in the process of promotion.

What she meant was, is your family rich or powerful?

As for why she asked this... hehe, she has her own wishful thinking.

It’s a pity that Liu Yonglu didn’t think about it at all!

"Hey, sister, since you asked me this, I think you are right. I can be the captain only because of my ability!"

When Bowles heard what a mess it was, especially the word "sister", she was seven parts shocked and angry, and three parts secretly happy. She felt that Ricky was impolite and rude, but she also felt that he was sweet and good at complimenting people.

She didn't know that Liu Yonglu used this word to describe everyone he met.

The little bit of alcohol Liu Yonglu drank in the car made him bump into the car, and he was trying to show off his strength, saying "show off".

He looked around and thought that there were no sword or gun racks, stone locks or stone plates in this manor.

Which skill should I show? I can't be photographed looking at the frog in the backstage, otherwise I won't be able to eat later.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yonglu saw the vases placed on both sides of the corridor. The vases were filled with dried flowers, which were colorful and very beautiful. He raised his hand to pull out the dried flowers and picked up the vase.

Mrs. Bowles took a step back and thought, is this guy crazy? I asked him a question and he threw a vase at me?
Liu Yonglu picked up the vase and looked it over inside and out in front of Mrs. Bowles, meaning, look, there's nothing in the vase.

What did he want to do? He wanted to perform a magic trick, which was the favorite of older women. With the ancient relics in his hands, the new things plus the old skills would definitely scare her to death.

"You asked me how I became the captain, didn't you? You're right. I have magic."

"magic?"

Mrs. Bowles frowned. Witches had disappeared in Mosesad for 500 years, and she had never heard of male wizards.

"Yes, magic. No matter if it's flying in the sky, swimming in the water, jumping on the ground, big or small, tall or short, I can make it all happen for you."

It's true that Liu Yonglu's business is very solid. In the old days, the ancient magic tricks performed on the street were very important for telling the story and practicing it. If you tell the story at the beginning, you have to make people fall into the trap.

Millie Tang stood with her hands on her hips and watched him act funny. Anyway, she was at the boss's house today, so she just watched him act funny. Nothing serious would happen anyway.

"Look up, look down, there is a fairy from heaven and earth, the one in heaven is the Saint, the one on earth is the Gear Fairy, the gods will never come to the mortal world, baby, take a look... may you have eternal happiness and longevity!"

Liu Yonglu pretended to talk, but his hands really came into play. Hey, a little black toad appeared from the vase!
Mrs. Bowles was also startled and tilted her head to look at the trick. She, a Mosesader, had never seen an ancient magic trick.

"Sister, you don't like this toad? It doesn't matter, then do you like this one?"

Liu Yonglu put the toad back and took it out again, revealing a pitch-black kitten.

"Can I pet the cat?"

"Feel free to touch and look at anything you want. I'm not the captain for nothing."

Mrs. Bowles looked at the kitten left and right and couldn't let it go.

"Can you be anything else?"

"What's so difficult about this?"

Liu Yonglu took a breath, and the wine started to boil over again. He transformed the little tiger, the little black donkey, and the little bird one by one, and finally he took out a rose from the vase and handed it to Mrs. Bowles.

"Sister, please hold these flowers for me first. I will put the dried flowers back."

When Mrs. Bowles heard Liu Yonglu's "sister" again, she was seven parts delighted and three parts shocked and angry. The three of them walked towards the banquet hall while talking. Liu Yonglu took back his bookmark and put it back in his pocket. Then he looked towards the living room. Wow, there were quite a few people, young and old, men and women.

General Norman, who was sitting in the front at this time, patted the chair beside him, motioning Liu Yonglu and the others to sit over. The old General Sisram next to Norman looked at Liu Yonglu and Millie Tang behind him with sharp eyes.

This is the Ricky that Norman mentioned. The chief nodded slightly, looking quite happy, with a smile on his face, which was rare. Investigators usually look sad, but it seems that the captain is in a very good mental state.

Looking at Millie Tang's face again, he was stunned. Chief Norman had forgotten to tell him about Millie Tang's identity in advance, but from Millie Tang's face, the chief knew at a glance that she was the descendant of a witch, the only witch bloodline in Mosesad, and had lived in seclusion in Michigan for generations.

He had also dealt with Millie Tang's grandmother, there was no doubt about it, but like her grandmother when she was young, she was also disguised as a man.

After Mrs. Bowles came in, she whispered a few words in the ear of the chief executive, his father. The chief executive turned around and looked at his third daughter in surprise. So, what did Mrs. Bowles say?
She said she was quite satisfied with Ricky!
This was why she had deliberately waited in the corridor to welcome Liu Yonglu and the others in. This story started three days ago. The Weiss family was large, and they usually ate dinner together, but there were many rules. They had to pray before eating, and people at the table were not allowed to talk easily during the meal. The younger generation could not just turn around and leave after eating, but had to wait until the elders finished eating before leaving.

But there are not so many rules for breakfast. Whoever wakes up can come to the restaurant to eat. That morning, Oliver chatted with his grandfather a little more about work. He talked about how Ricky brought the Sky Eaters to rescue the Brave Squad, and the special incident in 1408 had been completely resolved.

On the one hand, she was joking, but on the other hand, she also wanted her grandfather to give her some advice to see if there were any mistakes in her work.

The old chief was also shocked, because he knew what was hidden in 1408 better than anyone else. A small team went in and solved it in less than two days? This captain was really capable.

The grandparents and grandchildren chatted while eating breakfast, and the focus of their conversation was all on Ricky.

Oliver didn't really praise him much, he just said whatever he thought, but when other people heard his words, they sounded a little weird.

The aunts and uncles of the Weiss family were all listening attentively. They had been a little worried about Oliver's joining the Investigation Department, fearing that she would be too busy with work and delay her lifelong event. Oliver worked all day long and never went to a dance or an opera. If this continued, it would be disastrous.

Today I heard, oh, it turns out there is a young talent named Richie in the Investigation Department, and Oliver is thinking about this guy.

Oliver was a young man who ate quickly and had to go to work immediately after eating. She left after eating. The rest of the family stayed and sat in the restaurant for a meeting.

The delegates at the meeting held two distinct opinions.

The first voice is in favor. This era is different from the past. A new type of aristocracy has emerged. It is said that the royal family is discussing the issue of honoring some of the new aristocrats. Many impoverished old aristocrats are even proud to marry into the emerging aristocrats. Both sides get what they want.

Moreover, there is a living example right in front of us. Norman, who was promoted by the former chief executive before he left office, was from an ordinary family, yet he eventually became chief executive. Since Ricky is so capable and highly regarded, his future is limitless.

The second voice strongly opposed it. It was true that a new type of aristocracy was rising, but would these people dare to show off in front of the Weiss family? Our family had both popularity and status, so there was no need to discuss marriage with a small family.

Besides, Oliver meets all the requirements. He has good looks and abilities. Although he is a bit ugly, he is still a marriage candidate that celebrities and aristocrats are eager to get.

Ricky is just a captain of the investigation team and is far from qualified. He would never agree to this based on Oliver's one-sided statement.

The CEO was listening nearby and shaking his head, thinking how could such a big fuss result from just two of us chatting over breakfast?

I heard that the CEO wanted to invite Ricky to dinner at home? Then let's meet him. Originally, the CEO meant that he, Norman, Ricky, and Millie Tang would have dinner alone and talk about work at the dinner table.

But this family insisted on participating, and just like that, it turned from a work dinner into a family dinner.

Mrs. Bowles, Oliver's aunt, was one of the most vocal opponents. She welcomed Liu Yonglu in order to intimidate him and make him retreat with a few sarcastic remarks.

Unexpectedly, she watched an ancient magic trick called "Empty Jar Turned into Wine". After watching it, she changed sides first, leaned over to the boss's ear and said a few good words.

The CEO thought it was just a joke from his family, but he didn't expect that Ricky really had some charisma. Otherwise... No! Absolutely not!

Because at this time Liu Yonglu and Millie Tang were already sitting on their chairs and the banquet had already begun.

The boss was old and experienced, and he had seen all kinds of people. He understood everything when he saw the look in Millie Tang's eyes when she looked at Liu Yonglu. He must not match his granddaughter with Ricky, because Millie Tang had already decided on the person.

His granddaughter probably didn't like Ricky. At most, she had a good impression of him at work. If he brought them together, there might be a chance, but it would definitely offend Millie Tang, the only witch in Moses Sad. The successive directors of the Investigation Department had always been on good terms with Millie Tang's family. This was a friendship that had lasted for hundreds of years, and they couldn't break up over such a small matter.

But the boss felt something was wrong while eating, because he saw that silly boy Ricky seemed... unaware of Millie Tang's gender identity, and he was talking to her with a straight face and glaring eyes, and was urging her to drink.

The chief executive leaned over to whisper in Norman's ear and asked. Chief Norman smiled wickedly and nodded.

"You should talk to him sooner."

"No hurry, wait for two more days, it will be very interesting."

This kind of thing is harmless, and General Norman is very much looking forward to what expression Ricky will show when he finds out that day.

The atmosphere of this dinner was quite strange. The elders of the Weiss family came to chat with Liu Yonglu one after another, and Liu Yonglu accepted everyone who came.

He had a unique skill: he could chat without interrupting his meals, especially when the ingredients for the dinner at the CEO's house were particularly expensive: prawns as thick as his arms, sea cucumbers as thick as his arms, and squid legs as thick as his arms. Liu Yonglu enjoyed eating and chatting as well, and his laughter and conversation made the Weiss family laugh till they fell over.

But Oliver's family was a little nervous. They would ask Mrs. Bowles later about Ricky's background. They thought he might be from a circus.

The chief executive officer kept winking at his family members, thinking, the more satisfied you are now, the more disappointed you will be later. Can the next witch cooperate with the Investigation Department by relying on this silly boy?

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the boss coughed and told everyone in the family to go back and rest. He wanted to move to the quiet living room with Norman and Richie to talk about work.

Liu Yonglu was holding a large prawn in his hand. When he heard that the shell had not been peeled, he quickly stuffed it into his mouth and wiped his hands.

He knew that after sweating and drinking, it was time to test the darts!

I finally started writing a big chapter. It is indeed more comfortable than writing small chapters, haha. There are quite a few spells related to coc in this book. I can only say that each one has a prototype. You can also use these spells in the next group play.

In addition, the "Charlotte Hayes Club" mentioned in the previous chapters is actually a tribute to another American TV series "Harlots", which is also very good. If you are interested, you can take a look at it.
