Chapter 50 - Moving Forward in the Storm
The weather in Britain is always so volatile. The sky was clear in the last second, but the next second was dark clouds covering the top and heavy rain.
There is an idiom called "one ri and three changes", and the weather in Britain is not just "one ri and three changes", it is simply "five changes and eight changes"! The so-called "sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the way is that there is no sunshine but there is sunshine" is too common.
The sky in the afternoon was blue and the sun was dazzling. It seemed like a misunderstanding. It was abrupt. The sky was covered with dark clouds, like a sky curtain, covering the sky and the sun. There was a gray darkness in front of me. It was raining rain, and the city was intoxicated. Under the dark clouds that were pressing against the city, under the clamor of lightning and thunder, lightning broke through the sky like the night, and thunder sounded, shocking, and layers of rainstorms poured down.
The garden of Bolin Manor has long been in chaos, and the terrified flowers and plants have nowhere to hide and can only be baptized in the storm. However, the wind and rain are always ruthless.
However, the storm will eventually pass, and the dark clouds will be driven away by the sun, and the bright sunshine is still waiting for people...

"Enter!"
The housekeeper Paul pushed open the door and walked in. He looked at the tall back of the count who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room of the master bedroom with his back to the floor-to-ceiling window. He thought of some pictures without control. Then he immediately realized that he was a little ridiculous. He smiled and put the black tea tray in his hand on the coffee table, and said in a gentle voice: "Earl, the temperature has dropped a little, let's have some black tea."
"Yeah." Looking at the rain falling on the glass, the rapid sliding down and converging, Arthur let out a light whisper, turned around and said, "I hate rainy days."
"There is no way, the weather in Britain is so changing. The heavy rain in spring and autumn comes as soon as possible." The butler Paul said with a smile, bent down and picked up the teapot and poured a cup of black tea into a cup.
Arthur sat on the sofa, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the steaming black tea. He looked at Paul, who had his hands folded in front of him and stood straight beside him, and said, "Sit down, I'll ask if there's something."
"Thank you." The housekeeper Paul sat on the sofa opposite with a smile.
Arthur put down the teacup, leaned forward, reached out to bring the teapot to pour tea for Paul. Paul hurriedly stopped him, "Earl, I will do it myself."
Without any force, Arthur looked at Paul pouring the black tea, picked it up and took a sip, then leaned on the sofa lazily and asked, "Have you contacted the autumn fair?"
"Yes, it has been arranged. You will be hosted by you tomorrow at 10 am. After that, there will be various entertainment activities. I have contacted the school. They welcomed your kindness for the Count and asked me to convey their gratitude."
Arthur shook his head and chuckled, "I don't know how much money I can raise yet. Don't complain behind my back because I have too little money."
"No matter how many, it is your heart, and I think their thanks are very sincere."
"I hope." Arthur smiled unquestionably and continued to ask: "Where is the news from the auction house?"
"I've already called. On Monday morning, Da Vad Auction House will send someone to identify the items and sign a commission agreement to take the things away. They happened to have an autumn auction in HK in October. They promised that if the things are good, they will arrange for this autumn auction."
"Okay, the antiques of the Celestial Empire can only be recognized and sought after in the Asian cultural circle. I think the result will definitely not disappoint me." Hearing this news, the smile on Arthur's face became very bright.
Especially this time, the pair of bottles he bought from outside, I believe that after blessing the halo of the Count Bolin family with the long history, those collectors will flock to them. He has even thought about how to fool the auction house people. I believe that the auction house people will never let go of the name of the noble Count to make a big fuss.
After all, the higher the auction price, the higher the commissions they will get.
"Earl, Tom from the publishing house called and said that according to your request, two new employees have been recruited. I originally wanted you to decide to arrange the meeting time, but it was not convenient to disturb you before. Based on your schedule, I arranged for you tomorrow afternoon, and they will come to meet you."
Arthur did not express his displeasure about the unauthorized arrangements of the housekeeper Paul. After all, Paul has been in charge of various affairs of the Bolin family for decades. Whether it is experience or ability, it has been verified by time. His arrangements are definitely the most thorough.
"Yes. Actually, there was no need to let them go one more time, and they could arrange things on the phone, but since you have already arranged it, that's it. I happened to see what kind of talents Tom recruited for the publishing house."
When the housekeeper Paul breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Arthur say this. To be honest, although he watched Arthur grow up and knew him very well, after this injury, although he could not say that his love changed drastically, the changes were also very obvious. I really want to say what is said in the novel on TV, which gives people the feeling of growing up overnight.
Mature, steady, and more independent, and have his own ideas in his heart. This is a happy and worrying thing for the butler Paul. Being independent means that the young Count will never like to be bound, nor will he like someone to help him make decisions, especially at such an age, the rebellious character is already in his personality, which adds some variables.
Therefore, Paul is now slowly adjusting his mentality to test and apply some changes to the Earl.
Whether he was looking for an auction house to auction some antiques or the mortgage loan that he had always been worried about, he did not have the attitude to firmly point out the decisions made by the young Count, because doing so would not only not solve the problem, but would make the two completely opposed. To put it bluntly, he was just a housekeeper and served the Bolin family. Although he had a deep relationship with the old Count and the Bolin family, and had gained the trust and feelings of the Bolin family with his loyalty and work, he always understood who the Bolin family was the real master.
The two chatted for a while, and the butler Paul gave Arthur a detailed introduction to some of the situation and main people in Dunsford Village.
"Arthur, are you here..."
At this moment, a gentle call came from the inner bedroom, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"I'm here, don't move, I'll come right away." Arthur hurriedly shouted in response, then looked at the butler Paul who had a smile on his face and stood up and said, "That's it."
"Okay, Count, then I won't bother you." The housekeeper Paul said with a smile, and before turning around and leaving, he spoke again: "Earl, will you send this afternoon tea for you today?"
"Well, it's two people, it's a bit more refined." Arthur nodded and instructed.
"Please rest assured, I will personally arrange it to allow you to have a wonderful afternoon with Miss Clark." Paul said with a warm smile on his face and bowed gracefully.
