Mr. Consultant

While Erwin is pretty much nothing and almost nothing.But he has one thing, which is worthy of envy and often boasted about.His wife, Daisy, was a woman of incomparable beauty.

Daisy not only has a tall figure, good facial features, but also long, golden curly hair like a movie star.She has a rebellious and cheerful personality, yearning for a free life, never bound by dogma.She also likes to do volunteer work, like to meet all kinds of people, like fashionable dresses and high heels.All in all, she is a very different character from Erwin.

Although I am a little sorry to say this, many people are really curious, what is the weird reason for such a glamorous young lady to fall in love with a poor boy like Erwin?Of course, this may be the unreasonable love, or the wonderful attraction between people.But after all, although her old-fashioned parents think Erwin is not good enough for her, and even Erwin's father in the country thinks so, Daisy is now the legal wife of the poor MP.

And all this is due to the generous help of the consultant.Giuseppe lent Ervin a sum of cash and asked him to bring the money to Daisy's parents to show that he still had a little savings for expenses, and that he was not one who would make their daughter suffer. man.

However, Daisy's parents wanted to marry their daughter to the railway merchant's son, as if that was God's will.They looked down on Erwin's background at all, disliked his family, and thought his proud college diploma was inferior.They had made up their minds that no matter how high-sounding the young man's words were and how touching the promises he made, they would never change their minds.

However, money is magical.In particular, the large bundles of cash that the consultant personally packed had a certain irresistible and magical power.Daisy's parents compromised, thinking that Erwin must have some powerful background, or respected friends.They comforted themselves with the thought that perhaps Erwin's friends were far more powerful than the railroad merchant.

Erwin got their permission, and then, as if afraid that they would regret it, he quickly held the wedding before the arrival of the new year.Fortunately, he doesn't have many friends, so he can deal with it with a few simple banquets.And Daisy doesn't care about these, she has a white wedding dress to wear.As for the double cake, as for the sterling silver cutlery, sorry, she had given up on that when she decided to marry Erwin.

Erwin, the poor bridegroom, wanted Giuseppe to marry him, because he was their greatest benefactor.Unfortunately, however, Giuseppe thought that he was neither respectable nor a decent person, and should not appear on such a sacred occasion as a wedding, so he had to politely reject Erwin's kindness.After all, Giuseppe also doubted whether Daisy would marry him without hesitation if she knew that the money Erwin gave out in front of her parents was full of mafia crimes.

Fortunately, so far, Daisy still knows nothing about the hidden secrets.

But only so far.

When Daisy heard that Erwin was going to the banquet, she was full of surprises.She doesn't know much about Erwin's work, but she knows very well that her husband is not the kind of character who can make a fortune.Therefore, she would never have imagined that Erwin would have the opportunity to show his face in front of those celebrities one day.

Daisy was in a hurry, and with the budget saved from food, she rented a dress for Erwin.And she almost exhausted all methods and asked all her friends, so that they, husband and wife, looked worthy of the luxurious gate of the Barone Hotel.

But even though it was such an exhausting banquet, Erwin was still full of hope, and he mentioned to Daisy many times that his good luck was coming.He realized that there was a good chance that Giuseppe would do him some real favors by introducing him to the great men of Chicago.If that is the case, he will have more opportunities and even gain more respect.Their lives will be improved and those visions and aspirations will be implemented.

Daisy, however, doesn't know about Erwin's friendship with Giuseppe, doesn't understand what he means, and doesn't know the cause of the excitement that can keep Erwin up all night.She was just a little surprised, seeing her husband talking to her about irrelevant things like a psychopath all day long.

Erwin even wants to buy a villa with a sea view someday in the future, even though they still live in a small, dilapidated apartment.There was nothing she could do about it, and she gave up understanding the motives of such a dream.She believes that her husband is eager to succeed to the point of madness.

"Hey, men are crazy creatures."

Thinking of this, Daisy wrapped her woolen shawl around her navy blue silk dress tightly again.The dress was bought by her in the past, and it has been around for a long time. She changed the style by herself so that it still looks fashionable.And that pair of brand-name high-heeled shoes, that pearl necklace, and that pair of diamond earrings were all rented from the city by her.To do this, she had to travel across Chicago to return them by eight o'clock tomorrow morning.

She used to think that she was not afraid of poverty, and that no matter how hard life was, there was always a solution.But now she gradually understands that what is really scary is not hunger and cold, but the anxiety in her mind that is stretched.But even so, she never mentioned the cash to Erwin, not once.She knew the difficulties of human beings, and the source of the money was unknown.

Daisy stood alone in front of the dimly lit hotel door, and the light shone from behind her, cutting out a thin figure.She looked at the thick black, everything under the night, and suddenly had a little doubt about the future.Will the beauties described by Erwin come to pass?And are the opportunities he mentioned realistic?Thinking of these questions, she suddenly felt that the weather was very cold, cold to the bone.

Erwin was still seeing those congressmen off. His seniority was too junior, and he had to say goodbye to almost everyone when they were about to leave.Although the cars around him were speeding to and fro, the faces shown in the windows were completely different.But he still did his best, with a gentle smile, a firm handshake, and grateful thanks.This is everything within his ability. Instead of being able to help others, it is even difficult for him to show a little bit of unique value.But he still worked hard, and begged for the slightest, insignificant appreciation from the bottom of his heart.

However, so far, no one has given him such appreciation.Erwin was a little frustrated, disappointed to the point of almost despair.He felt like a clown trying to slip into the well-dressed line by putting on a cheap rented suit.Maybe he wasn't really good at politics at all, and he should have gone back to the fields of his hometown early to farm as his father said.He suddenly wanted to cry, his nose was terribly sore, but no matter what, he didn't dare to show it in the dazzling light.

Erwin thought of his wife, Daisy, whose parents he had struggled to get permission from.Erwin will always remember the domineering expressions of the old couple, if he really pulled away from the wave of Chicago forever as he imagined.So, wouldn't it be true that their curse-like prophecy has been fulfilled, and their desire to see a good show has been fulfilled?He could endure countless ridicules and put down countless faces, but he did not allow Daisy to suffer any harm because of this.That is his bottom line, the source of all his struggles.

Moreover, he thought of Giuseppe, Barone's advisor.Erwin had almost exhausted all his courage in his life before he dared to sit inside the brownstone building and beg this omnipotent gentleman for help.Giuseppe was a good guy, although he still had that mafia, creepy quality in him.But he is not like those snobbish villains, perhaps not from the heart, but Giuseppe still maintains a considerable awe and elegance to everyone he comes into contact with.

And this consultant, who spent a lot of money and time, wanted to win some chips in the political world for Erwin.He undoubtedly had expectations for Erwin and had good intentions.Erwin didn't want to live up to this expectation, let alone this kindness.Moreover, Giuseppe has not given up, and has not even given a definite conclusion, so it is not his turn to end the gamble.

Yes, this life, this fate, itself is a grand gamble.

Erwin rubbed his numb cheeks in the cold wind.He has to cheer up, he must cheer up, because there are still countless difficulties that he needs to face, because there are still immeasurable opportunities waiting for him to open.He felt that he could no longer be depressed like this.

Daisy was still standing in front of the hotel, but she was considering whether to go back to the lobby. It was too cold, but her soles had been blistered by the ill-fitting shoes.At this moment, a blond man in a high-end tuxedo walked out from the glass door of the Barone Hotel.He was tall and handsome, but he had a pair of cold gray-green eyes that were like blades.He walked to the position next to Daisy, took out a cigarette and a lighter from his suit pocket, raised his eyebrows, and asked softly:

"Ma'am, may I have a cigarette next to you?"

Daisy was taken aback by his sudden accusation, and nodded quickly, telling him not to pay attention.The man, then, showed a gentle smile like a scholar.He shook out the cigarette with one hand, bit it in his mouth, then flung off the lighter in a smart way, and slowly lit the cigarette with his long and slender fingers.A burst of white smoke rose between his eyebrows, and then quickly dissipated into the night, leaving only a flickering spark at the end.

Daisy couldn't help staring at him, the man's elegant and seductive movements made her unable to move her eyes away.After a while, he seemed to notice Daisy's gaze, so he turned around and said in a joking tone:

"Ma'am, did I get something on my face?"

"No, no." Daisy was a little embarrassed, smiled and waved her hands, and explained to him: "The people around me never smoke, so it's a bit strange to see you lighting a cigarette."

"is it?"

After the man finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and laughed like a fox.Using words with an Italian accent, he asked Daisy why she had been standing still.

Daisy replied, "I'm waiting for someone, my husband...Erwin, he has something."

The man listened to her words without comment, just looked at the unfathomable night and smoked silently.Daisy thought he was just having nothing to do, so she paid no attention to the sudden silence, and was even deeply glad that a trouble had been avoided.

Erwin, who appeared when the man was on his third cigarette.His facial muscles were sore from the long smile, and his calves were also a little frozen from the cold wind from the trousers.He stomped his feet uselessly, rubbed his hands and prepared to go home with Daisy, and then, right in front of the Barone Hotel, he saw the figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist.

Erwin suspected that there was something wrong with his eyesight, otherwise how could he see Daisy and Giuseppe standing together?But he didn't have time to think about it, and almost subconsciously, he immediately continued the previous repeated homework, put on a kind smile and said hello to the consultant.

"Sir, I thought you had gone back a long time ago!"

Giuseppe heard his voice, turned around, and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.Erwin leaned forward, shook hands with him warmly, and explained their friendship to Daisy who was confused.

Daisy responded blankly, but felt that things were a little weird.If Erwin is right, he and this gentleman named Giuseppe have known each other for a long time, then why, when Giuseppe heard that she was Erwin's wife, didn't he immediately clarify the facts with her?Also, according to Erwin, Giuseppe is the host of the banquet tonight, but if he is a person who can invite many celebrities, why has he never heard of his name?

"Member Oliver is planning to run for mayor this year. I heard that you were in charge of publicity work when you were in college. He is short of manpower. I hope you can join as soon as possible." Giuseppe was very calm. After he said these words, As if remembering something, he added with a smile:

"Oh, the congressman was drunk, so he asked me to convey it."

Trembling, Erwin took the business card with contact information from Giuseppe, as if he was taking the communion shared by Christ himself.Unconcealable joy, like the spring breeze covering the earth, instantly covered his whole body and soul.He felt happy, he felt light, he felt the fresh air fill his lungs.He thanked Giuseppe, and piled up all the words of thanks that he had said before without any order, and then rolled them out like a tape recorder.

Giuseppe smiled silently, patted him on the shoulder, beckoned him to work hard, said goodbye to them politely, turned and walked into the endless night.A light green Buick sedan had already parked in front of him. The strong young man in the driver's seat said a few fragmentary words to him, and then drove away at a high speed.

Daisy stood where she was, suddenly unable to react in time.Erwin was incoherently excited beside her, and she didn't want to care about it, and she didn't have the heart to care about it.because she saw:

The driver's white dress shirt reflected black hair.

"Christ, that's just a bunch of thugs in gentleman's clothing!"
