Seeing Marguerite's attitude, Connor, who felt guilty towards Marguerite, didn't get angry at all. He smiled affectionately and whispered to Marguerite, "No matter what you ask, as long as I, Connor Ferguson, can do it, I won't refuse!"
"Really?"
Hearing Connor's words, Marguerite's eyes lit up. She immediately asked Connor, "What's the matter?"
For some reason, when he saw Marguerite's expression, Connor suddenly felt like he had been tricked. However, as a man, since he had already said it to the woman he loved, there was no way he could take it back. Connor could only brace himself and nod at Marguerite.
Seeing Connor nod, a sly smile appeared on Marguerite's face. She then asked Connor, "Connor, you must have already forged a fake identity for that pharmacist, right? When do you plan to hold the wedding with her?"
Although he didn't know why Marguerite would ask this, Connor still answered truthfully, "It should be some time. Although I can still forge a fake identity, a perfect one isn't easy to get. It'll be exposed easily. Of course, if it doesn't work, I plan to let Varga use her real identity. Varga has been waiting for a long time. It's time for me to give her an answer …"
Hearing Connor's words, the light in Marguerite's eyes dimmed a little, but she soon returned to normal. She pointed a white finger at Connor and said, "Connor, you're going to become Earl Ferguson soon. I think you'll need a private consultant!"
"Private consultant?"
Connor looked at Margaret suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter?
In response to Connor's question, Marguerite nodded calmly and explained, "That's right, a private consultant! Connor, even though your family's businesses don't make a lot of money, they still make a lot of money. Since you're willing to condone an armed rebellion and use it as an excuse to clean them up, I'm sure you're extremely disappointed in your Ferguson family. What you need now is someone who can help you manage your businesses! "
"And a private consultant is the best helper for a hereditary noble like you, Connor, to manage your family's affairs. Hereditary nobles like you are very xenophobic, so Connor, you don't have to worry about your private consultants colluding with the parasites in your family. They're hired by you. Without you, they won't be able to do anything in the Ferguson family."
"Another important point is that a private consultant is someone with connections. Although these connections won't be able to play a decisive role for you, Connor, they can help you do a lot of things more smoothly …"
Marguerite kept talking about the benefits of a private consultant. The more Connor listened, the more confused he became. Seeing that Marguerite was about to continue, Connor hurriedly interrupted her and asked Marguerite in disbelief, "Marguerite, as a hereditary noble, of course I understand the benefits of a private consultant. But are you going to recommend a private consultant to me?"
"That's right!" Marguerite nodded, then took out a document from her space ring. She had prepared a long time ago and handed it to Connor.
Connor took the document from Marguerite curiously and carefully read it. He found that the document was actually a resume, and the owner of the resume was an old man named Lorenzo Pellegrini.
From the resume, Lorenzo Pellegrini is 57 years old this year. He's a small noble with a hereditary title of Knight. He joined the Imperial Army in his early years and served there for 11 years before retiring with the rank of Colonel. "
"After retiring from the army, Mr. Lorenzo Pellegrini returned to his hometown in Flosinone and inherited his family's legacy. In addition to a small manor with only 500 acres of land, he also opened a small processing factory to process some train parts and other things. He has been living a good life, and with his identity as a noble and his resume in the Imperial Army, he was successfully elected as a member of the Senate of Flosinone!"
After carefully reading through Lorenzo Pellegrini's resume, Connor couldn't find any problems. So, he couldn't help but ask Marguerite directly, "Marguerite, from the resume, Lorenzo Pellegrini is a noble, has a military background, and has experience in politics. He's undoubtedly a good choice for a private consultant. But, I want to know, Marguerite, why did you recommend him to me?"
"The reason is simple. Lorenzo Pellegrini needs a job now, and I'm going to be his assistant soon!" Marguerite spread out her hands and said to Connor. At the end, she even winked at Connor.
After hearing Marguerite's words, Connor instantly understood Marguerite's thoughts. It turned out that the private consultant was just a cover. Marguerite's real purpose was to get close to him and participate in the affairs of the Ferguson Family. And this Lorenzo Pellegrini was just a cover.
"Is Lorenzo Pellegrini under your control?" Connor asked Marguerite after a moment of silence. "You're controlling Lorenzo Pellegrini?
"No, Lorenzo Pellegrini and I have some connections. His factory, due to business competition, not only did it not provide him with any income in the past few months, it even caused him to lose 2,000 gold pounds. He's on the verge of bankruptcy, so he's in a very bad situation now. He's in danger of running out of money. I want to help him!"
"Connor, don't worry. Lorenzo Pellegrini's ability is definitely not a problem!"
"His train parts factory has been doing very well and has been making profits. Now, it's going bankrupt not because of Lorenzo's problem, but because his opponent, the Bartomeu Consortium, is too powerful."
"The Bartomeu Consortium is rich and overbearing. In order to drive these small factories out of the market and dominate the market, they're selling the parts at a very low price. This has caused the train parts produced by Lorenzo's factory to be neglected. Some of the old customers who have worked with them for many years no longer care about their business!" Margaret explained to Connor helplessly, "The Bartomeu Consortium is rich and powerful.
