Chapter 568 I, Earl Jeffreys, am fearless...
Claire specially sent a car to take her father home.
In the car, Smith found another unusual detail.
Although it looks like an ordinary car, the same model as his usual public car.
But there is a layer of iron plate on the window inside that can be pulled down, and the seat feels very comfortable. When he touches it with his hand, he feels that the leather is unusual.
Looking at the driver again, he sits upright and even wears a pair of white gloves.
Minister Smith is not stupid at all. Both he and his wife are smart people, otherwise they would not stand out and educate such a powerful daughter.
The team of maintenance workers just now made him feel very wrong, not to mention that there are so many doubts now.
After returning home, he sat on the sofa for a while, and when his wife got off work, he suddenly said: "Charlie's identity is problematic."
Mrs. Smith was surprised and sat in front of him and asked: "What's the problem? Isn't he here to cheat on marriage?"
She heard the news of Smith's promotion at school today.
Becoming the wife of a minister, the identity is very different.
The Minister of Power is definitely a big man ranked in the top 100 in the entire empire.
Even the army commanders and governors of various places did not dare to say that they were higher in status than the Minister of Power.
This status was enough to attract attention.
Although his daughter was smart, it was normal for her to stumble in matters of men and women.
Wisdom was sometimes useless in such matters.
Minister Smith lit a cigarette, and this time Mrs. Smith did not say anything about him.
In the smoke, Minister Smith took a deep breath: "I'm afraid Charlie's identity is not simple. I need to find someone to find out. If he is really an ordinary person, it would be easier to deal with."
To be honest, if Charlie was just an ordinary person, he could accept it even if he and his daughter were colluding to deceive him.
His family was not an aristocratic family that could accept talented young people.
The only thing he was afraid of was that kind of old aristocratic family, and there would be too many things involved.
Marriage was never a matter between two people. No one would think so except the parties involved.
Politically, kinship, and even whether Claire would be happy if she married him, these were all problems.
Mrs. Smith was also a little anxious, and hurriedly urged him: "Then what are you still sitting here for? Why don't you go find someone quickly?"
Minister Smith was tough for once, and crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
"Woman's opinion, can such a thing be rushed? You must find a reliable person."
Mrs. Smith's two eyebrows were raised, and she stared at Minister Smith fiercely: "Okay! It's different when you become a minister. You can sleep on the ground tonight!"
...
What is a reliable person?
At this time, it is definitely not to find your own students. Not to mention whether they have the ability, this kind of reliability based on feelings and interests may not be useful.
Young people are sometimes too open-mouthed and may let slip.
You must find an old man, the kind that you can't ask even if you drink.
As for being afraid of being leaked by others?
As long as he is still the Minister of Electric Power, the other party will not leak secrets.
It's not worth it, and it will also lose his face.
This opportunity came soon.
Earl Jeffreys said he would treat Smith to a drink, so he would definitely not forget it.
He deliberately chose a property of his own, which is safe, hidden and close.
The relationship between the two is actually very ordinary. Although they both want to make further friends, they are not close enough to have dinner at each other's house.
But choosing a random place would make them seem unfamiliar.
This kind of own industry is just right, and the grade is also enough.
This is also the foundation of the Jeffreys family. If it were the Smith family, there would be no such industry, and they would probably have to find a small restaurant to eat.
Minister Smith got out of the car, and he stopped the student and secretary who wanted to go in with him: "You will eat something downstairs later. I have something to talk to Minister Jeffreys."
The secretary was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded in response.
The private chat between the two imperial ministers may indeed involve some sensitive topics.
Before entering the door, Earl Jeffreys happened to go out to greet him, and he was just right.
"Welcome, Smith."
Earl Jeffreys was almost ten years older than Smith, but there was no difference when they stood together.
Especially in terms of dealing with people, Smith could not compare with him.
After all, he was born into a high-ranking noble family, experienced two dynasties, served as a general, and worked as an administrator.
During the Great Xia Empire, he was a governor and a high-ranking judicial official.
This title removes the job title, which is close and not annoying.
Minister Smith, with his mind on his mind, quickly followed Earl Jeffreys upstairs.
The latter noticed that Minister Smith had left his secretary behind and was slightly stunned.
It stands to reason that the first private communication would not be too private.
However, he waved his hand and signaled others to leave quickly.
Entering a separate private room, the space was open and privacy was guaranteed.
The maids came up one by one and filled a large table with dishes.
Then Earl Jeffreys clapped his hands, opened a bottle of wine himself, and said, "Go out, stand away, I'm going to have a good drink with Smith today, don't disturb us."
The servants bowed and walked away backwards.
Minister Smith knew that he was still impatient and the other party had seen some clues.
He smiled bitterly, stood up, took the bottle of wine, and poured a glass.
"Earl Jeffreys, to be honest, I have something to ask of you today."
It seemed a bit abrupt to talk before drinking, but it also proved his honesty.
Young Earl Jefferys felt that the scholar-minister was not as pedantic as the legend said, so he immediately responded with a smile: "Just call me by my first name. Smith, if you have anything to say, just say it. As long as you don't call me a rebel, don't call me anything else." thing."
He naturally has this confidence. Looking at the entire Daxia Empire, as long as he does not touch the royal family, there is nothing to fear.
So what if it was Count Simon, the God of Death? He was not afraid.
My disciples and old officials are all over the world. After years of accumulation, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Smith also knew the background of the little Jefferies family, so he approached him.
"I'm sorry to say it, but I would like to ask you to help me find out the details of a person."
Smith said seriously, this matter is very personal and kills three birds with one stone.
When entrusting a secret, it is trust.
Second, let’s see if Jeff Ferris Jr. is reliable.
The third time... I just want to see if the Jefferies family background is really useful.
He has finally changed and is no longer a simple scholar and professor.
Politicians! Not a derogatory term.
Who is not a politician? Just stick to your heart.
Little Earl Jefferys understood what the other party meant. Compared with a scholar-minister, Minister Smith like this has a better future.
"Who is he? Give me a few days and I can find out the details for you." Little Count Jefferys said confidently.
"My daughter's boyfriend...Charlie Perez."
"Perez... there are not many successful people in their family."
Little Earl Jefferys was disdainful and not afraid at all.
The two families have been fighting for hundreds of years and have often resorted to knifing each other. What are they afraid of?
