Chapter 422 Appreciation (Part 1)
After the show, there was no auction as Franz had imagined.
Instead, the host began to introduce the dancers. At this time, no matter how slow Franz was, he understood the meaning of the canary. But shouldn't these ballerina girls be called "little mice"?
"Little mouse." Franz blurted out unconsciously.
Taffy whispered into Franz's ear.
"That's what the French call it. It's not elegant at all..."
Franz was speechless for a while, how could such a thing be associated with elegance.
But thinking about it, Europe does not seem to be too taboo about this, but is quite open.
Franz didn’t want to raise any canaries, but he just couldn’t look directly at his friends.
But he was still curious, what exactly would these people do?
Then Franz really asked.
"Edward, what do you use those canaries for?"
Edward Taffy clasped his fingers in embarrassment and said.
"Let them eat..."
Some strange and disgusting images appeared in Franz's mind, which was reflected in his expression, looking at Taffy with disdain.
At this time, Richard Metternich couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Franz asked curiously.
"Franz, do you remember the meat mountain from last time?" Richard Metternich reminded.
"You mean Miss Harriet?"
"Yes, that's Taffy's little canary."
Franz still remembered that the last time Adjani fell several times, the opponent could land smoothly. At that time, Franz was still curious about where Taffy got this monster. The monster weighing more than 200 kilograms could actually turn in the air.
Franz couldn't help complaining, "It's really perverted." Then he remembered that a warrior named Oyama Beida on an island country in the east once advocated...
Edward Taffy ran out covering his face.
Edward Taffy is a weak and kind man. He is a good person, but he lacks the domineering and decisiveness that a leader should have.
"Want to buy one?" asked Richard Metternich.
"Not interested." Franz really didn't have much interest, but was just a little emotional. He thought he had done a lot over the years, but nothing seemed to have changed. Or rather it’s not enough.
"How about asking them to bring people up to take a look? Franz, you are so far away and how can you see clearly without a telescope?"
At this time Akadov handed over a pair of hand-held telescope glasses. Yes, it was a small telescope with a handle added to it. It looked like a selfie stick. It is said that it looked more elegant.
Franz took the "selfie stick" and couldn't help but sweat for the soldiers on the Austrian front. If Austria's telescopes were like this, you can imagine what the battle would be like.
Fortunately, the Austrian military does not have enough funds to purchase such flashy telescopes.
"The four in red skirts are the principal dancers of the four major theaters. The one in pink skirt is making her debut on the stage. The one in white skirt is..."
Akadov began to introduce eagerly, and Franz could only hold back and try not to breathe.
Even though the latter showed a lack of interest, the former did not intend to give up.
As a result, Akadov winked at his attendant. The attendant naturally understood what the young master meant, and of course he also knew Franz's identity, so he immediately took action without saying a word.
After all, for a small person like him, even if he can leave an impression on Franz, it will be of great benefit to his future.
Soon the attendant found Chio Rom. The latter seemed very embarrassed by the other party's request. The former was not a fool and naturally understood what the other party wanted.
However, the attendant named Wells did not want to expose Franz's identity, because not only would he not get any benefits, but he might even die as a result.
Fortunately, his master's name is enough, and he happens to have money.
"Sir, my master liked today's performance very much and would like to thank everyone." With that, Wells took out a written check from his arms and handed it to Chio Rom.
The corners of the latter's mouth couldn't help but twitch. A servant dared to use a check. He felt insulted. However, beating a dog depends on the owner. Chio Rom finally convinced himself and sighed.
"Sir, are you going to give me a check as a thank you gift?"
This was so straightforward that Wells had no choice but to take back the check and take out a stack of banknotes and hand it over, then turned to the actors backstage and said.
"Please appreciate it, ladies."
Although Wells was smiling, his heart was bleeding because the pile of banknotes was his five years' salary.
His behavior caused dissatisfaction among the sponsors who were waiting to select the goods in the background, but Chio Rom did not prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
After all, he is a businessman, and he will never delay all future business because of one business. And he also wanted to see the quality of the people in that box. After all, there were many big shots here today, so it should be very lively.
Wells' behavior was hated far beyond his imagination, but he didn't know it.
The dancers looked at each other. They had never encountered such a thing before. All the best dancers from the four major troupes were gathered here, and they were all booked in one go.
The girls were soon delivered to Franz like commodities. The dancers obviously did not expect that the guests in front of them were actually children.
Especially the one sitting in the corner, what he is holding is obviously juice
The upright posture and graceful posture are vividly reflected in these dancers. They are indeed selected from all over Vienna and can indeed be called "excellent".
However, after understanding the dirty deal behind this incident, it was really difficult for Franz to see the "beauty" in these girls.
However, in the 19th century, which was "an era that laughed at poverty but not at prostitution," what these girls did was understandable. Accusing them from the moral high ground seems to make Franz even more incompetent.
Moreover, the only person in the entire private room who is not qualified to accuse others is Franz himself, but he can control other people's joys and sorrows, even life and death.
In the dim box, the little light as big as a bean seemed unable to illuminate this small world. But the dim light creates an indescribable atmosphere, and many people like it because they can be capable and unscrupulous.
At this time, the box was very awkward, because Franz was obviously unscrupulous, he had no intention of buying a canary, and no one dared to really take the lead.
Akadov was a frequent visitor to such places. Many dancers knew him and knew that he was the grandson of the most corrupt official in the Austrian Empire and the target of many big shots, so he could only bite the bullet and say it.
"Ladies, it's my grandpa's birthday in a few days. Our family is going to hold a grand dance, and my friends all need excellent dance partners. I would like to invite the ladies to honor them."
