Harvey's study ushered in a special visitor, a guest from Norton. Most importantly, Harvey did not know him, but heard his name from count Henrietta.
Voyne hall, the honorary president of the Literary Association, is a leading figure in Norton's literary world.
When Harvey heard that someone had come to visit him from Norton, his first thought was count Henrietta, and Harvey had only met him. So Harvey was really surprised by this special guest, remembering that he should have nothing to do with him, except for the media's slandering remarks that Harvey thought were not painful.
"It's a great honor to meet you, Mr. Harvey Adrian. I'm Vern hall, honorary president of the Norton literary society." Voyne hall took off his hat and saluted. His eyebrows were very light. He could not be said to be full of flesh, but his face was certainly not much better. There was no reason for him to give the impression of being cruel.
Harvey stood up from his chair, shook hands with him and said with a smile, "please sit down. I didn't expect such a distinguished guest in my small dark study. If I knew you were coming, I would definitely arrange a reception dinner for you."
"Don't be so. I'm only visiting you for some unimportant things. Besides, it's a great honor for me, a man with a false position, to be received by you." Vern replied politely, in a flat tone that didn't sound very sincere.
Harvey, who was still thinking about revising the details of the novel, said, "Oh, I don't know where I can help you."
Sitting down, voyne hall still held the crutch, looked at Harvey and said with a smile, "Mr. Adrian, you should know that the Literary Association is about to usher in the new president election, which is of great significance to the current literary world. The mainstream literature has ushered in the impact of the times, and it is urgent for someone to lead the current literature to find a new direction of development."
His smile is really not good-looking, just like the lone wolf hiding in the jungle, cold and heartless.
"Of course, I've heard it from count Henrietta." Harvey mentioned count Henrietta's name and watched him look.
Vern hall wasn't much surprised to hear Harvey say the name, but he coughed and said, "that's what I'm here for."
Harvey asked in a deep voice, "do you want me to support you as president?"
Vern hall shook his head: "no, Mr. Adrian, you and I are not stupid, at least not as stupid as count Henrietta. I am very sorry for my past offenses. I know you are very interested in magic. In order to express my apology, I specially bought a large number of materials from Norton's magic store and presented them to you. Of course, I'm not stupid enough to be extravagant. This apology can make you support me to be elected president of the Literary Association. "
Magic material?
Harvey's face looked strange. It seems that all the magic stores in Norton have been purchased by Cromwell chamber of Commerce. If Harvey wants, a steady stream of magic materials will be transported to Elroy by steam train.
"What do you mean?"
Voyne hall looked at Harvey and said in a low voice: "I hope you don't interfere in the election of the president, just as you have always been. The literary world is not worth mentioning in your eyes. But I can guarantee that if I am elected as the president of the Literary Association, I will be willing to support all your actions, at least in Norton's literary world, No one will dare to question your authority. "
Harvey was stunned. He looked dumb and replied: "this condition sounds very attractive, but I'm sorry that I'm not interested in disputes in the literary world. Even if someone doubts my works, it's not a bad thing in my opinion. There are a thousand earls of Monte Cristo in the eyes of a thousand people. My works can never be loved by everyone, right?"
Voyne hall frowned and looked more and more ugly: "your tolerance surprised me, but such cooperation is not a bad thing for you and me. Count Henrietta paid the price for his stupidity. He has no place in Norton's literary world. Supporting such a person will not do you any good."
Harvey showed off his hand and said, "Mr. hall, I think you misunderstood me."
"What do you mean by that?" Voyne hall was more puzzled.
Harvey showed a playful smile: "that sentence just now is not my polite words, it means literally. Needless to say, I will not intervene in the disputes of the Literary Association, and I will not publicly express my support for count Henrietta. Is it not your behavior to bind count Henrietta and me together? At least you've managed to create that illusion in the outside world. "
Vern hall was stunned. Harvey's words completely broke his understanding. He thought Harvey and count Henrietta were bound in the same camp. He couldn't understand Harvey's mind. Isn't Harvey always helping count Henrietta?
"Please come back. As for the gifts, I'm very sorry I can't accept them. I don't mean to be on any side."
Vern hall thought of half of what, and sneered: "Mr. Adrian, you need to understand that the people in the battlefield will always be torn up by the cavalry of both sides at the first time, and the people who waver between different positions will never be reused."
"You misunderstood me again."
Voyne Hall
"I'm not on any side in this election dispute, but I'm really leaning towards count Henrietta, and I'm not generous enough to be indifferent to those who discredit me and offend my dignity." Harvey looked at him with a smile of slight contempt: "I mean count Henrietta could easily win the presidential election without my help."
Vern hall clenched his crutch and sneered like a big joke: "ridiculous! Now that guy's reputation in Norton's society is plummeting, and no one in the literary world is on his side. What does he take to win this election? "
He felt angry. He was despised for the first time since he climbed to this position. He was still a little boy.
"Then we'll see. Come back, Mr. voyne hall." Harvey waved and gave the order.
Vern hall stood up and took a deep look at Harvey. With a cold snort, he tidied up his clothes and did not turn back to the study where he left. His right hand, holding a crutch, was blue and white. He wanted to know the meaning of Harvey's words and why Harvey was so optimistic about count Henrietta.
