Chapter 70: The Shield
"Lady Galia!"
The fluctuations of the businesswoman in the blind fight perception are constantly approaching, and when the other party comes to the door, Ye Qi stands up from the chair and greets him - no matter what the other party is looking for him, but the other party deserves to be thanked for his behavior, which is the etiquette that an adult should have.
"Finger! Great, you're safe! β
After carefully looking at a piece of Ye Qi, and finding that Ye Qi had no damage on his body except for a trace of fatigue in his expression, the businesswoman standing in front of Ye Qi immediately said happily - that kind of excited appearance undoubtedly shows that the businesswoman's happiness is sincere, and there is no falsehood; Ye Qi, who clearly felt this joy, felt helpless from the bottom of his heart, he took a step back without a trace, and after widening the distance from the businesswoman, he said, "Ms. Galia, thank you again for your concern; But ......"
"Didn't I remind you to call me Galia?" The businesswoman took a step forward again with Ye Qi's retreat, still maintaining her original distance, with a hint of annoyance on her face, correcting Ye Qi's salutation, and interrupting Ye Qi's imminent explanation: "Do you still want to use your ex-wife as an excuse?" If that's the case, you're going to disappoint me! In my impression, Finger shouldn't be such a non-responsible man! β
"Well, I'm really disappointing you!"
Ye Qi replied with a wry smile - from the last meeting with the other party alone, he knew very well that although the other party was a woman, he definitely had a strength and insight that ordinary women did not have; It seems that you can see through people's hearts and smash the reasons and excuses you find one by one, and then press forward step by step, so that you have no way to retreat!
What a strong woman!
With such a heartfelt sigh, Ye Qi continued: "You and I have only met a few times, and you haven't learned anything about me!" So, I may have the responsibility you mentioned and so on, but it's definitely not as good as you think, to the point where people can measure it! And for my ex-wife. Even though we're separated, that's not an excuse......"
When he said this, Ye Qi tried his best to calm his gaze, and said in a steady tone: "I still love her!" β
"A person who hasn't seen him for more than fourteen months, you don't have a clever excuse like this!" The businesswoman said with great certainty: "After all. I don't feel anything related to the word love in it! As for the responsibility you are talking about? One gave most of the income from the monopoly farm to his own hired laborers. Keeping only a small number of people by themselves is already admirable in a sense! β
"The hired workers you call are my uncles and aunts in my eyes, and my father died. When I wasn't able to run the farm, they were the ones who helped me; And their age doesn't allow them to lose their farm and get another source of income! According to the information about 'Finger' that he had read, Ye Qi shook his head and explained: "When I was young, I was taken care of by them; In their old age. Naturally, I should take care of them! This in itself is a matter of course! β
"Deserved?" Ye Qi's words made the businesswoman's eyes shine, and there was no doubt that this explanation was the same as her previous guess; She took a small step forward again, narrowed the distance between her and Ye Qi a little, almost against Ye Qi's chest, and whispered: "What you say is right, it's the first time I've seen it; At least, among the people I know. No one can do what you do! β
"Not even myself! The nature of a businessman has long since made it impossible for me to do this! After a pause, the businesswoman said with a slight self-deprecation.
"So, that's what makes you feel good about me? People like me may not be common in your circle. But among people of the same class as me, they abound! The businesswoman's words seemed to make Ye Qi finally find the root of the problem, and he immediately said: "If your eyes look down." I will definitely find an existence that is even better than me! β
"Look down? Why should I do this? The businesswoman's answer was a little reserved, but there was also a hint of arrogance: "Deliberately looking." It's going to make me feel like a failure! Even looking for a person you like, you need to stipulate various conditions and formulate various terms, which is a transaction in any view, not the love in your mouth! β
"Is that how you met your ex-wife? Under a bunch of conditions, premises, and then find the one that is pleasing to the eye in a bunch of conditions? Are you sure you found your ex-wife like this? β
"WhenγOf course not!"
Although he had already faced something similar to the pressing step, and Ye Qi had prepared in his heart, but when he heard the businesswoman's sharp words again, Ye Qi still felt a little difficult to say - from the emotional aspect, the witchers are 'weak' most of the time, never dare to ask or expect, basically just go with the flow; however, once they recognize a person, then their strong side will be undoubtedly revealed, and this is not related to any conditions or preconditions.
"Look, you deny it too!" The businesswoman smiled triumphantly: "I won't deliberately look for anything, but once I approve it, I will hold on to it!" And as an excellent man, you are my approval! β
Listening to such words that were almost confessions to face, even Ye Qi couldn't help but be stunned by the boldness of the other party; However, Ye Qi was only surprised, but he would not compromise - he took a deep breath, pulled his mind out of the other party's 'strategy', and began to organize his words again.
You can't go on with the other party's thinking, otherwise it will only be a dead end!
With this realization, Ye Qi immediately opened her mouth again to speak, while the businesswoman showed an interested look, listening quietly with a smile; Obviously, she enjoyed the momentβit was the other men who pursued her, and she tried her best to get rid of it; The businesswoman never imagined that one day things would be reversed; Although there was a hint of frustration in this situation, it was more of a strange excitement and more seriousness.
After all, only a man who does not 'pursue' him because of various factors can make her give real affection - of course, the other party is far from 'pursuing', but the businesswoman is very confident and can make the other person like that, but it takes time. A little more means are needed.
As for whether this means seems to outsiders to be on the upper stage?
For the sake of her own happiness, the businesswoman would not mind this; After all, compared with all kinds of meanness in business warfare, these are just taking advantage of the other party's 'kindness' and 'embarrassment' to approach step by step, and such means are simply soft in the eyes of some people.
"Lady Galia. Your identity and mine's identity are like two parallel straight lines. There can never be an intersection! It's just because of this trip to Sennuma District that you got to know me, and it may bring you a little novelty! But when this novelty passes, the differences in identities, living habits, and life goals brought about by our two parallel lines. It's enough to make us parallel lines again! It's a disservice to me, and it's not as easy as you think it is for my ex-wife! β
"We all have a hard time!"
With this ambiguous and speculative statement, Ye Qi made it the beginning of another paragraph.
"Please don't say anything about people like me. You can give up all the impulsive things that only teenagers can do! This will only make me more uneasy and avoid you even more! Although I don't know how you got your current status and wealth, the hardships you have paid are definitely far beyond my imagination! β
"This kind of hardship is not something that should be given up with a word or an impulse! Although I would admire the dedication of those who did such a thing, I would not approve of their blindness! After all, love is not only spiritual, but also material; Can you imagine you following me in ordinary or even inferior clothes, shuttling between jungles, mountains, and lakes, and confronting all kinds of wild beasts and poisonous insects from time to time? β
"If only you think about it. It's beautiful! But if you experience it for yourself, it will definitely make you feel painful! Also, I have a lot of hard work for my ex-wife, as I said! Ye Qi, whose mouth did not stop, finished. Shaking his head, he walked around the businesswoman and walked straight out, at the door. He paused: "Thank you again for everything you have done for me, but I really can't take it!" I'm sorry! β
After speaking. Ye Qi didn't stop again, and walked straight out of the room; Listening to the sound of the door closing behind him, Ye Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart - if he could, Ye Qi would rather face several Solar-level powerhouses as opponents than face the businesswoman in the room behind him; It was too tiring, and in the face of the other party's words, he had to dismantle the moves step by step, and then resist them one by one; Even after reaching the end of the day, he once again changed the words he had thought about before.
had to use the other party's way to end this conversation that he didn't want to remember in the future - although the other party's way of talking about being tight step by step and one step ahead of others was difficult to deal with, but if he wanted to block the other party's questioning, Ye Qi had to use this way to return the other party's attention.
Luckily, I've thought about all kinds of situations beforehand!
Ye Qi, who was happy, couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, if he didn't prepare in advance, even if he used the same way as the other party, it would still be difficult for him to parry; After all, 'Finger' is not a mean or ruthless person, if it were him, Ye Qi would naturally have a clear chance of winning - with the oppression of Long Wei, not letting the other party speak, and then completely solving the trouble; Ye Qike is very willing to do such a thing.
Use the easiest way to solve the most troublesome things.
The witchers agree with this sentence.
"Toka, can you arrange me a treehouse?"
Looking at the person in charge of the market who was standing at the door of the small building, surprised, Ye Qi said straight - of course, the word 'tree house', Ye Qi also pronounced it heavily; Ye Qi believed very much that if he didn't 'remind' the other party, the market leader in Qiannuma District would definitely arrange his residence in the small building behind him, and this was something he absolutely did not want to see.
"Okay, okay, no problem!"
Toka, who had already arranged a residence for Ye Qi in his heart, couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Ye Qi's reminder, and then replied in a daze.
"Did you see Little Doug? He should be back with Ms. Galia, right? β
"He's with Limoa and Xsol at the gate of the bazaar!"
"Okay, we'll be back at dinner!"
After hearing the answer of the person in charge of the market, Ye Qi nodded slightly at the female bodyguard on the side, and then walked straight towards the door of the market.
Looking at Ye Qi's departing back, Toka couldn't help but shake his head: "It seems that Ms. Carlia has been rejected again, our Mr. Finger is really a gentleman!" β
"There must be a clause in the definition of a gentleman that does not make a woman sad!" The female bodyguard after hearing the evaluation of the person in charge of the bazaar. couldn't help but pursed the corners of his lips, and then said very firmly: "And my boss won't be discouraged because of one or two small failures!" Look, the worst ending must be my boss's big win! β
"Emotional problems, no one is the winner, right?"
The slightly philosophical words of the person in charge of the market made the female bodyguard look sideways - in her impression, although the other party had a certain amount of cultural education. But it's all basic. And among them, the technical class accounts for a considerable proportion, like this, similar to poetry, philosophy, the other party only hears about it, but there is absolutely no contact; This female bodyguard is quite sure.
"Don't look at me in such amazement! That's not what I said. It was inadvertently mentioned by Finger the last time he spoke to me; I thought it made sense, so I wrote it down! β
Toka immediately waved his hand at the surprised look of the female bodyguard - although being stared at by a beautiful lady with such a look made the market director feel a sense of accomplishment; But the quality of honesty doomed him not to do such despicable things as concealment or deception.
"Very nice sentence! Your honesty makes this sentence even better! β
The head of the bazaar shrugged his shoulders. He pointed to the smoke of the campfire in the distance.
"Do you need anything special for dinner?"
"Just get rid of the bugs!"
"No problem!"
β¦β¦
"Mr. Finger!"
Little Doug, who was sitting on a rock in front of the market and talking to Limoia and Xsol, saw Ye Qi walking towards him at a glance; Immediately jumped up from the rocks and waved his arms at Ye Qi; And Ye Qi has already responded to the other party with a smile - little Doug did not leave, but followed the businesswoman to find himself, which was unexpected for Ye Qi; Especially when he learned about it, little Doug had a quarrel with his father again.
In the end, he threatened his 'kindness' to him, and said, 'I don't want to be ungrateful, how could I just go back to Dude after Mr. Finger's disappearance!' 'Words; So old Doug had to agree that his son stayedβat the beginning. When he heard Toka talk about this paragraph, Ye Qi was truly stunned.
Although there is no doubt about Doug Jr.'s excellent character, Ye Qi didn't expect that Doug Jr. could take such a step - in the face of his father, who had always been afraid, he chose to resist for the sake of his inner morality, which made Ye Qi involuntarily think of some heroes in biographies. Especially after already understanding his father's painstaking efforts.
"Little Doug is a real man!"
This is the evaluation given by the person in charge of the market and all the people in Sennuma Ward who know Little Doug well.
"Little Doug always has all sorts of quirks, which is really inexplicable, and he always worries his father!"
This is the evaluation of the upper class of the Xialin District for Little Douge.
Whether it is the evaluation of the former or the evaluation of the latter, Ye Qi, as one of the parties, behaved towards Little Doug. I just felt an inexplicable warmth - not the care of friends and partners, but it was touching.
"That, that. Ksol didn't mean it before, can you forgive him? β
When Ye Qi approached, Doug Jr. said with some embarrassment - apparently, Little Doug had been asked by Xsol; However, no doubt hearing Ksol talk about what happened, little Doug was also very embarrassed; After all, as an upper-class society living in Xialin District, even a little Doug who is considered to have a quirk, knows that Dao's words are very hurtful, especially for men; Even, in some ways, it's like the other person saying that you can't do that way.
"What's the matter? I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I can't remember a lot of things clearly! Especially some things that don't need to be remembered! Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders at the three teenagers in front of him in a 'Finger' manner, and then, after glancing at the pistol on Little Doug's waist and the dagger on the other side, he stretched out his hand and said, "Our little Doug has found the life he longs for!" β
"This is a must-have self-defense tool in the wilderness of Sennuma Ward! It was left to me by my father when he was leaving! Touching the pistol on his waist, little Doug, who looked a little gloomy, immediately drew the dagger on the other side with great interest: "This is a gift from His Excellency Stouffie to me; And Your Excellency Stofe promised to give me a few hands! β
