Helena sighed, "I don't want to go, but I can't get out of it now, I promised the airship company to participate in the inaugural voyage of the weekend, how can I go back on my word." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Roland was taken aback, and looked up into her eyes: "At this time, are you still thinking about the first voyage of the airship company?" If the situation in the city continues to deteriorate, the postponement or cancellation of the maiden voyage is not unexpected, so why should you ......?"

"Mr. Roland! The maiden ceremony must be held as scheduled! Helena suddenly raised her head, her expression was extremely determined: "The more difficult the times, the more we must boost morale and let the people see hope, Ms. Lyubov did not hesitate to go to war with the Giant Demon Island for the airship company, but most of the citizens don't know what the airship is?" Is it worth risking war for it? If we don't give a positive answer, the citizens will inevitably resentfully the authorities, believing that Ms. Lyubov values the airship more than the survival of the city's residents, so we must hold the airship's maiden ceremony in public as scheduled, and we must go all out to promote the benefits of the airship, so that all the people can know about it and witness this man-made miracle with their own eyes! In the past, we used religion to encourage citizens, but in the era of industry and commerce, people are more enthusiastic about the struggle in the world than the tranquility of heaven, so the airship, a huge machine that combines industry, magic and imagination, is more suitable as a spiritual totem for the small citizens than a temple, so that they can confirm a consensus through intuitive feelings - airships are the crystallization of our contemporary civilization in Baigull Harbor! For the future of the city-state, it is time to stand up to the pressure in unity! ”

The more Roland listened, the more surprised he became, Helena's words were quite far-sighted and extremely incendiary, this insight is really rare for an opera singer, and even more rare is that she not only has vision but also lacks action, when her fellow theater members choose to take refuge in the city, she would rather stay alone to fulfill her promise and do her part to promote the airship industry, which cannot help but make him awe-inspired.

"Helena, let me take the liberty of asking, have you ever considered a change of job?"

"Oh? What does Mr. Rowland mean? ”

"Actually, I have some shares in the airship company, although not much, after all, I am a shareholder, but I am not a local, and I will return to the south in the future, and it is inconvenient to participate in the business activities of the airship company, so I need to hire a manager to deal with these things instead of me, since you are optimistic about the prospects of the airship industry, are you interested in accepting this job?"

Helena silently listened to Roland's invitation, biting her lip without saying a word, crumpling the scarf into a ball, her expression revealing her inner struggle.

After a long time, she let out a long sigh and looked up to meet Roland's eager gaze.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Roland, though I really want to accept your invitation...... However, I am a mediocre woman, I have nothing but singing, and I do not have the talent of management, I am very touched by your love, but unfortunately I know that I can't take on this heavy responsibility, you better ask for another master. ”

"It's okay, I'm too abrupt." Roland smiled apologetically. Helena's refusal to work for him made him a little disappointed, but he also understood that everyone had their own ambitions and could not be reluctant, and Helena was not allowed to let the big stars who swept the city, what did she want to do for him? Refusal is a rational choice.

He didn't take it to heart, but Helena seemed very unhappy, hung her head in silence for a long time, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.

Roland was simply inexplicable, and asked her tentatively: "...... It doesn't matter, right? ”

Helena choked and shook her head: "I'm fine, I just feel ...... in my heart Sad......"

Roland grabbed his hair, feeling more and more puzzled: "Did I just say something wrong that reminded you of something sad?" ”

Helena picked up the gauze towel and wiped the corners of her eyes, and smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, I'm just easy to be sentimental, and I think about some boring things, don't care." ”

Roland wanted to speak and stopped.

It was he who was rejected, why did Helena cry? It's inexplicable...... How could he not care?

"Hey, I'm almost at Geert's Palace, I'll get off here, so as not to be seen and misunderstand what we ......" Helena beckoned the coachman to stop, stood up and said goodbye to Roland with a smile, her eyes flushed.

"I'm so happy to meet you today, and I look forward to seeing you again."

Happy? Well, if you say happy, you can be happy. Roland got up to help her open the car door, "See you on the inaugural voyage of the airship over the weekend." ”

Helena got out of the car with his hands in her arms, took two steps and turned back, stuffed the scarf into his hand, and said shyly: "A little gift is not a tribute, please don't dislike it." ”

"Oh? Thank you! However, I heard that the krakini's scarf has a mark on its own life, and if the scarf is destroyed, the krakini will die quickly, so is it really good to give me such a precious thing? Roland looked at her hesitantly.

Helena's lips trembled, barely maintaining a calm demeanor, and said softly: "Where do you think it is, this is just an ordinary gauze scarf, not the natal scarf of our sea goblin clan. ”

"That's good." Roland smiled with relief.

Helena didn't have a smile on her face, but a little more lonely, as if she wanted to say something to him, but in the end she didn't say it, waved her hand and turned away.

Roland watched her figure disappear into the crowd, picked up the scarf in his hand, and found that there were still tears, and the faint fragrance seemed to blend into the indescribable melancholy.

"Mr. Roland, Geert Palace has arrived, and Ms. Katya is waiting for you." The coachman reminded in a low voice.

Roland got out of the carriage and met Katya in front of the gates of Geert's Palace.

"Does City Hall have a specific strategy for dealing with inflation?" Roland asked straight to the point.

Katya shook her head, her face extremely heavy: "There was also a time when there was a shortage of materials in Baiou Harbor, but the nearest crisis was ten years ago, and our administrative bureaucracy was used to living a peaceful life, and we didn't expect the crisis to come so quickly and deteriorate so quickly, and now we are all panicking." ”

"How long can the material reserves last?"

"For two months at most, Lyubov tried to seek material assistance from friendly countries yesterday, but most of the state authorities paid lip service to them, and they just said beautiful words, and when it came to delivering relief supplies, they dragged on and withheld all kinds of deductions, which could not solve the current situation of material shortage."

Katya couldn't help but be angry when she said she was excited.

"This is still moral, I have heard even more angry rumors, some 'friendly' magnates want Baiou Port to be unlucky, secretly report to the pirates, encourage them to sack Baiou Harbor, and promise to sell the stolen goods for them afterwards, which is extremely shameless!"

"In this situation, we can't count on the support of others, and Lyuba must make a decision to crack down on the profiteers who hoard and settle the people in the city by thunderous means, and calm down the prices and calm the people." Roland said in a deep voice.

"Who's to say it isn't! Her Highness Victoria and I advised her to make up our minds to declare a policy of wartime control, to mobilize the coast guard into the city to maintain order, and to severely punish the opportunists, but she just wouldn't listen! Katya gritted her teeth in anger.

It was the first time for Roland to see her express her dissatisfaction with Liubofu's top boss so directly and strongly, and asked her in a low voice: "What evil is Liuba, and can't she see how dangerous the current situation is?" ”

"You still don't know our eldest lady well enough, it's not about judgment, it's purely her heart knot." (To be continued.) )
