Chapter 476 Qin Lang's Wedding [Medium]
Some troubles can be solved, some troubles can't be solved, and some troubles can't be solved in time - Qin Lang tried everything to deal with Henry. The troubles that Daubers had inflicted on him had expended more energy and resources than any other plan he had devised and carried out, but at the very last moments of the wedding was about to take place in front of him—how to properly deal with the guests that Mr. Daubers had invited without permission was still one of them, and the most difficult. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Rachel's suggestion was overruled, but not entirely because the troublemaker might have asked for the wedding to be postponed because his guests hadn't yet arrived. This is only one aspect of the reason. On the other hand, neither the immigration department nor the police department wants to get involved in this matter and does not want to cause trouble for themselves.
Or to put it more plainly, no department head wants themselves, some of their subordinates, and their department to end up being scapegoated for this headache-inducing family farce; However, this result is inevitable, if someone accepts Qin Lang's request to temporarily detain his father-in-law, Henry, who likes to cause trouble. Words of Daubers's British relatives and friends.
It's pretty much plain to say. If someone had done that, Daubers would have protested, would have sued, would have used the news organization to create public pressure, and would have made the whole of California a mess. Unfortunately, in order to clear himself, Qin Lang will definitely be on his father-in-law's side, and at the same time, what is even more unfortunate is that he is a big man, and he has many friends who are more senior big people, so in the end, in order to calm down the incident, the departments involved in the seizure of those British Yankees will be punished, some people will be swept away, and the rest will also fall into an embarrassing situation.
Of course, this situation may only be temporary: after the incident finally subsides and is forgotten, it is possible that Qin Lang will use some covert means to make up for the losses suffered by those who served him, restore their positions, and even let them climb higher. But it is also possible that it is not temporary: in Henry. Under Daubers's gaze, perhaps even because of his awareness of some of the changes that had occurred in him, in the end, to what extent Qin Lang could make up for their losses, or whether he would make up for their losses, was a question worthy of serious consideration, and it was not optimistic.
At least history has proven this countless times, unless there is a strong backstage backing, the guy who rashly intervenes in other people's family disputes does not end up with a good result.
So the people in charge decided to stay out of the matter.
This was the result of Qin Lang's inability to change - not to mention that he did not support Rachel's suggestion and remained skeptical - so he accepted the reply of the immigration bureau and the police department without much insistence. However, this meant that he would need to continue to expend his energy on the greatest trouble that Mr. Daubers had caused him.
"It's not your style at all." Rachel commented mockingly, "I thought you were just going to give people a headache." ”
"Sometimes, in order to avoid more trouble in the future, we can only keep the current trouble to ourselves." Qin Lang shrugged.
"Again, it's not your style at all, Qin." Rachel tapped lightly on the table, reinforcing the force of her speech, "They took our money, and they should solve the trouble for us, that's the rule." ”
"I can force them to take the job, Rachel." Qin Lang smiled, "However, do you think it's a suitable decision to waste the strength we have carefully accumulated on this matter?" ”
"You can always find a reason." Rachel began her sarcasm again, and it made her very happy to see Qin Lang make a mistake, which was an unusual opportunity. "But when those guests get us in more trouble, you'll realize you're making a mistake."
"Maybe. But until then, I'll find a way around it, Rachel. ”
"I hope so, Qin. But with only four days left until the wedding, you'd better keep that in mind. ”
"Three days, nineteen hours and twenty-eight minutes, to be exact." Qin Lang was serious, with a look of no joke - he used this way to emphasize that he knew the current situation better than her, and everything was still under his control. In the next few seconds, he further showed her a triumphant, triumphant fake smile and then suggested, "So, now let's discuss, what remains unresolved." ”
"Let me think about it......" replied with a "we'll see" look, and Rachel began to think. "We've processed 100,000 fresh red roses, and that nouveau riche-style wagon...... What else. The three thousand bottles of French champagne he ordered? ”
"I've ordered Messerschmitt to negotiate with the supplier to get him to cancel the contract – or at least allow us to refund most of the orders." After a pause, he continued: "I believe that it will not be long before we get the good news we expect. ”
"Negotiations?" She was a little incredulous, not this way of communication, but the person in charge he had chosen, "You actually assigned Messerschmitt to be in charge of the negotiations?" He's just a spy...... In fact he's more of a killer, and I don't think he's very good at being in charge of that kind of work. ”
"I'll admit that he's not good at negotiating in the traditional sense, but he's good at a couple of quick but effective ways of negotiating."
"In what way?"
"I call them 'quick negotiations.'" Qin Lang laughed again, the word reminded him of something from the past—before he went back to 1893. "Once upon a time, a third-rate arms dealer I knew liked to use the most effective of them, and of course, sometimes someone would use a less effective way against him."
"Really?" Rachel looked at him, skeptical—she didn't understand what he meant. But this is normal, although Qin Lang has been using those negotiation methods, he has never called them negotiations.
In fact, those modalities cannot be called negotiations either.
But they do work. Qin Lang thought happily, his fingers tapped on the armrest of the chair, "Think about it again, what else." Wedding dress? ”
"I found a new tailor. He assured me that we could see the results within three days. And I persuaded Elizabeth to leave her lab for a while and try to cooperate with him during this time. At this moment, Rachel became smug and obviously very satisfied with what she had done - of course, there was no doubt that it was indeed proud in terms of the facts, because there was almost no one but Qin Lang who could get Elizabeth out of the lab.
Even if she was about to get married, and there were so many troubles in the wedding, she still preferred to stay there, as if it wasn't her who was going to get married, and those troubles had nothing to do with her.
It's another headache and a frustrating problem.
Moreover, Elizabeth did not always have the patience to deal with such figures as a tailor, jeweler, or make-up artist, even for a brief period of hours—most of the time, an hour at most she would exhaust all her patience. Rachel was able to convince her that this was indeed a remarkable achievement, and it was gratifying.
"So, one of our biggest troubles outside of those extra guests, you've got it out." Qin Lang let out a long breath and praised: "Well done." ”
"Thank you." She happily accepted it, making herself comfortably happy for a while, and then her expression became heavy again, "But we can't be too happy yet, Qin." The jewelry Elizabeth wore to her wedding was still unresolved, but I was at my wit's end. ”
Qin Lang looked at her in surprise and strangeness. "You agreed to make jewelry a few months ago, and as far as I know, our troublemakers didn't cancel it."
What he means is that jewelry is not a hassle, yet it is.
"He didn't cancel my custom jewelry, but he used the best diamonds I ordered for the nouveau riche jewelry he made himself, and insisted that I wouldn't be allowed to remove them." Rachel raised her hand and stroked her forehead—now she felt the urge to strangle her uncle-in-law to death; And the jeweler, also a bastard, actually gave her the best diamonds to her uncle, and hid the news from her as he asked.
This thing won't end there, the guy will pay dearly for his stupidity, she's sworn it; Now, though, the most important thing is diamonds.
Of course, she couldn't find the diamond, but Qin Lang might have a way. Rachel also remembers very clearly that Qin Lang once asked her about her skills in identifying diamonds, and more than once came up with samples of excellent quality and processing.
She stared at him. "Qin, I remember when I had a wedding with Yi Shui, you got the diamonds on the jewelry and rings. Can you still get it now? ”
Qin Lang's eyebrows immediately furrowed. "You should have told me about it sooner, it's too late."
"I thought I could fix it." Rachel bit his lip, "So, you can't find the diamond either." ”
Qin Lang shook his head. "There are no finished diamonds, only blanks. Time is of the essence, and I don't think it's possible for your jeweler to complete the process to our satisfaction in such a short period of time. ”
He couldn't. Qin Lang trusted his judgment, and Rachel believed too, but for her, it wasn't a problem.
"He has to get the job done." Her tone was frighteningly cold, "If he can't do it, then this will be his last business." ”
"Good." Rachel's decision made Qin Lang satisfied. While punishing the jewelers would not in any way alter the adverse effects Elizabeth would have had if he had not done his job on time if he had not done his work on time, it would at least appease their anger and warn any fool as daring as he was.
And undisguised threats can always have the effect of surprises, making the laziest guy more diligent than anyone else.
Maybe he can get the job done.
Qin Lang stood up. "Tonight, I'll give you the rough diamond."
"At night? So where are you going to go now? ”
"Take the diamond blank." He replied briefly, "And I still have to go to church." Elizabeth is to be rebaptized and join Christianity—"
"What!" Rachel jumped up like an electrocuted cat.
"You know," Qin Lang explained, "it's very difficult for Catholics to fit in with American high society, and our guests are almost all Puritans. ”
"It's going to drive my uncle-in-law crazy." She warned.
"He'll understand, and we'll keep it a secret from him for the time being."
"And what about Elizabeth, you've convinced her?"
"Do you think she cares about her membership, Rachel? You should have noticed that she has rarely even gone to church in the last two years. Qin Lang smiled, "In essence, now she is more like an atheist, closer to natural science than to God. So when I made a suggestion to her, she didn't hesitate at all. ”
Rachel couldn't say a word. He wasn't lying, and she knew that very well, because there were things she knew—like the number of times Elizabeth went to church, like how much she loved chemistry and God. Qin Lang may be exaggerating a little bit to claim that she is more of an atheist, but she does not hesitate to give up her Catholic membership and join Christianity - she doesn't care at all, anyway.
It's just that her choice is really, really bad. Although it will make that troublemaker furious, and even send him to God, eradicating all the sources of their problems once and for all, however......
No! Rachel struggled to calm himself down. It's not Elizabeth's decision that's really bad, it's what she does after she makes it.
"Hell!" She exclaimed angrily, "She didn't tell me anything. ”
"But you know it now, don't you?" Qin Lang shrugged. "Relax, Rachel. It's just a trivial matter. ”
His persuasion had the opposite effect.
"Of course, for an atheist," Rachel cried, "it's trivial, but ......."
A sudden knock on the door interrupted her shouting, and Yi Shui pushed the door open and walked in—and then he felt two angry glances shift to him.
He stopped and looked at them. "Am I not at the right time?"
"No," Qin Lang said, "The timing you chose is very appropriate—"
"What's the matter?" Rachel yelled, "Speak up! ”
"Uh......" Yi Shui turned his gaze to Qin Lang, but he had already turned his face away and turned his gaze out of the window. So Yi Shui could only face Rachel alone. "Actually, I just wanted to invite you to a magic show at night......"
"Magic?" She became even more annoyed, "Yi Shui, now is not the time to watch magic!" We still have a lot of trouble here, and Qin added one to me a few seconds ago. ”
"Trouble? What's the trouble? Yi Shui asked.
"Why didn't you just ask him?"
Yi Shui had no choice but to set his eyes on Qin Lang again. However, Qin Lang didn't want to answer his question at all, instead he was more concerned about what he had just mentioned. "Magic? Which one? ”
He blinked. "Do you want to see it, Qin?"
"Easy water!"
"Nope." Qin Lang looked pensive, ignoring Rachel's roar—it was aimed at Yi Shui anyway—and said slowly, "I just thought of a solution to our last problem.
