"Mr. Bifei, this is an invitation from Mr. President for you!"
Percy, who had knocked on Bifei's door, smiled as he handed the invitation to the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, then turned and left with the two Dragoons accompanying him.
Accepting the invitation handed over by Percy, Bifei instinctively frowned. He couldn't understand why the President of the Elysee Palace would issue him an invitation when he had clearly rejected the President's proposal to build more telegraph lines.
"Does he think he can bribe me with a dinner?" Bifei muttered to himself, a mocking smile appearing on his lips. He didn't want to offend the President, but his affiliation with the Order Faction forced him to distance himself from the President. He was planted in the Cabinet by Count Morel and also had certain connections with the Orthodox Faction.
Despite Bifei's inner disdain for the President of the Elysee Palace, he still opened the invitation.
