Natalia feels the same as in the past, but Lin Youde still notices the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

So after shaking hands, his first words were not the usual politeness and compliments.

"Looks like we're all getting old, Lady Natalia."

"After all, there is only time in this world." Natalia received it very smoothly, and it revealed a little empathy, it seems that Lin Youde's choice has achieved a good effect.

"Why don't we catch up before we start talking?" Lin Youde tried to say, "We haven't seen each other for many years, right?" ”

"Originally, the old story was planned, and there wasn't much to talk about anyway, so the little time before the meeting should be enough."

Natalia's rhetoric made Lin Youde only smile, said okay, and then made a gesture of please.

Then the two sides exchanged views as if they had already discussed, and soon reached a series of agreements.

"It's a pleasure to talk to you about cooperation." Lin Youde said from the bottom of his heart, "There is no verbal slapstick and superfluous things, and an agreement was reached in the least amount of time, if all my negotiation opponents are like this, I may be able to increase my life for a few years." ”

Natalia also smiled: "You won the prize, I just took the initiative to give up what I thought was impossible to agree on, and I have to thank you for not making a request that I couldn't agree to." ”

"yes, sometimes I wonder why I spend so much time arguing when I know it's impossible to reach a consensus. As for those places that can be compromised, instead of trying to strive for more benefits, it is better for both parties to show their bottom line first, and then take a median value, so that at most it will consume a little time on the fine-tuning of the median value. ”

"Humans are greedy creatures, and the state is a further manifestation of this greed." Natalia said indifferently, "And we are outliers, if we are normal people, it is common sense to fight for blood in these places." ”

"Alien...... Lin Youde couldn't help but smile, "This is a very interesting proposal." So, now that we've made an agreement on all the issues that can be compromised, do we spend the rest of our time continuing to negotiate and discuss issues on which an agreement is impossible, or do something else that is good for the body and mind, like going hunting? The area around my palace was once a royal hunting ground, and now although the surrounding area has been built, the original forest part is still relatively intact, and there are quite a lot of wild animals. ”

"This is pretty good, and I haven't shot in a long time."

"Very well, then I'll let someone arrange it. Also, Ms. Natalia, I want to bring a daughter as my bodyguard, no problem, right? ”

Believing that Natalia would not be detrimental to herself—in fact, she couldn't—Lin Youde did not bring a guard with him at this time, only a recorder sat behind him. After all, Lin Youde is not the head of state, and theoretically he and Natalia should not talk about what they just discussed, so both sides tacitly did not bring more people to the meeting, and the agreement reached will no longer be turned into a paper here, but will be made into a memorandum by the recorder to record the main points, and then it will be used as the basis for signing the agreement in the formal talks.

The public reason for Natalia's visit to Sanssouci is the so-called vacation.

Now there are two goddesses in Sanssouci Palace who have come on vacation, one is Xiali, who has been relying on Sanssouci Palace since the end of World War II, and the other is Natalia, who will only stay until tomorrow.

After thinking of Xia Li, Lin Youde asked: "There is another person here who may also be interested in hunting, can I call her to come along?" ”

"It's Miss Charlie, if she comes, I'd rather have a sword fight with her than hunting." BECAUSE XIALI IS NOT THEORETICALLY MARRIED, SHE CAN INDEED BE CALLED MISS ACCORDING TO ENGLISH CUSTOMS.

Of course, theoretically speaking, Lin Youde should also be called Miss Natalia, who is also unmarried, but looking at Natalia's face and aura that is reminiscent of the eldest sister's head Balalaika, Lin Youde can't say the title of Miss.

"Have you ever had any festivals?" Lin Youde asked strangely.

"No, it's just that Miss Xia Li is a master of swordsmanship, and when she meets a master of swordsmanship, she will try her best to challenge it, which is the nature of a martial artist. In Chinese, it's called 'martial arts', right? ”

Lin Youde nodded, it seems that Natalia specifically found a Chinese word to describe her thoughts, this behavior made Lin Youde feel very comfortable, sure enough, Natalia is different from Iron Ji, she knows more about the art of winning people's hearts. Lin Youde personally doesn't know why Natalia didn't replace Iron Ji at the beginning, she should be able to do better.

Maybe there is some kind of bond between the two of them. Lin Youde doesn't know very well, and I'm afraid he will never be able to figure it out.

Lin Youde was thinking about something related to Iron Ji, and Natalia suddenly said, "If possible, I also want to have a joust with Ms. Sissi." ”

"If it's to settle old scores, let me refuse. I can arrange a competition with Xiali. ”

Natalia smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin." I have no grudge against Miss Sissi who killed Josephine, it is just something that will inevitably happen on the battlefield, either you die or I die, Josephine is just unlucky. Instead of hating Miss Sissi, I should hate the god who took away Josephine's luck. I'm just trying to learn how to teach Miss Sissi swordsmanship. ”

Lin Youde scratched the back of his head, he still didn't want Sissi and Natalia to make a move, who knew if there would be a problem, when Iron Ji dealt with Sissi who was studying in Russia, Natalia was with her.

Lin Youde had an idea and said, "Actually, I have a person here who is very strong in martial arts, I don't know if you want to have two moves with her." ”

"Could it be Miss Lin Qianxun?"

"Yes, she's proficient in oriental martial arts, and her sword skills are also top-notch—"

Although it is not as good as the Miss Tachibana Qinli, it can only be relegated to second place (as the fox himself said), but it should also be a very, very strong storage zài.

"Very well," Natalia looked interested, "and I'm not going to make it worthwhile to be able to play with Xia Li and Miss Chihiro." ”

Lin Youde wanted to complain and said that you didn't come here to sign an agreement, why did you suddenly become able to make a move, so it was not in vain?

But in the end, he just nodded: "Then I'll let people prepare, while you compete, let's have a barbecue conference or something, just watching from the side is probably not particularly interesting." ”

"Barbecue?" Natalia frowned, as if hearing the ranking for the first time.

Lin Youde shrugged his shoulders and explained: "It is a family activity where everyone gathers together to eat barbecue and talk at the same time. We're eating next to you and watching your duel at the same time, right? ”
