Struggle in Russia

Viscount Prozolov's condition Raffle couldn't refuse, but he was not Petrovna, even if he was satisfied with such a condition, he could only let Viscount Prozolov wait patiently for news.

"No problem." Viscount Prozolov looked indifferent, and suddenly said to Raffle who was about to go out: "If your mistress thinks these conditions are not good enough and is not going to agree, then I can only tell her It's a pity to say, because this is our last condition, and I personally think it is very generous, so we refuse to bargain!"

Raffle nodded slowly. He felt that these conditions were indeed sufficient. Perhaps the only dissatisfaction for Petrovna was that he still had to serve the Viscount Prozolov. She probably didn't like this man. Unremarkable Viscount's.

However, Raffle feels that Viscount Prozolov is definitely not as ordinary as he looks. He thinks that this person is terribly shrewd, and he is a similar character to that Count Shuvalov. I am afraid that it will pay a heavy price to underestimate him or refuse his offer. the price. Anyway, he was going to persuade Petrovna to agree to these conditions.

Raffle made another gesture to leave, but Viscount Prozolov stopped him again, and he asked with a slight smile, "By the way, are you interested in helping me?"

This question was so sudden that Ralph was stunned, because he couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to recruit such a small person like him.

After a moment of silence, he asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Do something for you?"

Viscount Prozolov smiled and nodded: "Yes, you heard me right, you just help me with things. I think you are a talent, and it's a bit too condescending to do these shady things in Kiev. How about it? Not interested in helping me?"

Raffle took a deep breath. If Viscount Prozolov had sent him an invitation ten years ago, he would have agreed without hesitation, and would have done things for him wholeheartedly.

But now, after ten years of baptism, he is no longer that fledgling young kid who knows the hidden risks of working for these big shots. Don’t you see that his mistress Petrovna almost lost her life? !

Ralph knew that for these big men: he will give you as much benefit as you are worth. The more you want to gain, the more risk you will take. If you are momentarily fascinated by their extravagant deception, what awaits you will be an out-and-out disaster.

Ralph is a very sober person. He doesn't have the ambitions of Petrovna. He will fight for life and take risks to live like a human being, but absolutely don't expect him to risk everything for these, he thinks that Not worth it.

So he just replied indifferently: "It depends on what my mistress wants,

If she can accept your terms, then I may be of service to you. On the contrary, I feel afraid that you will never see me again. "

This was actually a tactful refusal. Viscount Prozolov could tell that Raffle had great concerns about helping him. This concern may stem from his so-called mistress, but it may also stem from fear of the unknown.

Viscount Prozolov felt that the latter might be more. If it were someone else, he would definitely think that Raffle was too timid and unambitious, but Viscount Prozolov was not someone else. On the contrary, he admired Raffle even more.

the reason is simple. Ambition or ambition cannot be completely absent, that would be useless. But it's not a good thing to be too ambitious.

After the last failure, Viscount Prozolov discovered his biggest problem before. His ambition was too strong, so strong that he could take risks and be crazy about it.

Although this allowed him to accomplish a lot of things in a short period of time and win some things. But it also made him lose his vigilance against danger. He is always betting big, and always feels that he can win everything by betting. Maybe because of his strength and luck, he was indeed invincible.

But as long as he loses once, just one time can make him beyond redemption!

Luckily, unlike some other poor bastards who lost their fortunes on stud, he got a second chance. But that time also gave him enough warning. He knew that if he continued to gamble like before, he would not be far from the next complete end. At that time, he would definitely not have a third chance.

So after that, Viscount Prozolov's mentality also changed a bit. His ambition cannot be said to be restrained, but compared with the previous madness, it is indeed much more restrained. This also made him realize what kind of evil consequences would be caused if his subordinates were as fearless as before.

Naturally, he appreciates a smart person like Ralph who judges the situation even more. Such people have a certain amount of ambition, but also have a sense of awe, and they will not resort to unscrupulous means or will not know how to live or die. They have means but are restrained in doing things, and they know what can and cannot be done.

The current Viscount Prozolov appreciates this kind of person who has a sense of proportion, and Raffle happens to be such a person. Do you think he can't like it?

So in the face of Ralph's refusal, he just smiled and said: "Don't talk too hard, first of all, I think your mistress should be a smart person, and smart people always know how to choose. Secondly, I think even if she refuses Now, we don’t have the possibility of seeing each other again, there are so many wonders in this world, so don’t talk too much!”

Raffle just glanced at Viscount Prozolov quietly, then turned his head and left without hesitation. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart, but Viscount Prozolov knew that he should leave this person alone. Made an extremely deep impression.

[What a smart person, if I can find a few more similar smart people to do things for me, why not worry about things failing! 】

After Viscount Prozolov sighed in his heart, the expression on his face suddenly became a little ferocious. Yes, he thought of the last humiliating failure again, that time he was so completely defeated, almost powerless to fight back and being played by the opponent in the palm of his hand.

He has never lost so badly since he was a child, and he still lost to the person he was least willing to lose. As long as he closes his eyes, his mind will be full of Li Xiao's expression at that time, that faint mockery, that contempt and disdain, Just thinking about it makes him go crazy!

Viscount Prozolov is a very vengeful person, he never forgets the last defeat, he vowed that in his lifetime, he must avenge his shame and let Li Xiao also taste the feeling of being defeated by him!
