"Mr. Ronald, I wonder if you are still satisfied with this contract?"

Unlike Marcus, who was a little arrogant, his father, Marshall, was always smiling, even when he brought a contract that meant concessions, compromises, and apologies.

On behalf of the Grant family, Marshall Grant bought the production method of Luo Xiaotian's music box, providing a one-time 500 gold coins, or two plans for Luo Xiaotian to choose from for every music box sold within two years.

Don't underestimate that five percent because that's the pricing and not the five percent of the profit. Maybe it's because he knows his credibility, Marshall directly takes a cut according to the pricing, after all, there is such a thing as profit, it is impossible for Luo Xiaotian to check the accounts every time, and even if it is an audit, who can confirm the authenticity of the accounts?

As with paying taxes, this five percent directly avoids profits and starts with something well-documented.

"I don't know which way of cooperation do you think is better, if you think these conditions are suitable, can you stop caring about Marcus's previous offense?"

"Uh... I don't really understand why your attitude has changed so much, and besides, Marcus, didn't you come today?"

"Hehe, even it took me a lot of effort to get the invitation to this party, in fact, I admire you very much, Mr. Ronald, you can get such an opportunity with your own efforts. However, it is not because of this that Marcus can't come, because I have offended you before, I have asked him to reflect on it at home until he realizes his mistake. As for the rest, we at Grant hope that you, Mr. Ronald, will say a few kind words for us in the presence of Miss Brewster, and at least that this misunderstanding will not affect her impression of us. ”

"Miss Brewster?"

“... It's Miss Alice Brewster. ”

"Alice? haha... I'm really not very sensitive to other people's last names, and it's hard to remember. What is Alice, and what do you need to do?"

"Mr. Ronald?!, you don't know Alice's identity?... Ah, please ask Miss Brewster for yourself. So, I'll leave the rest to you. As for this contract?..."

"Hmm... I'll go the second way. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xiaotian chose to accept this contract, no matter how you look at it, the conditions on the contract are extremely generous, although there would be no contract without the existence of Alice, but no matter what, these are what you deserve, aren't they?

"Wise choice!"

Soon, Luo Xiaotian and Marshall signed a contract in duplicate. The first "work" he came to this world, although it was tortuous, but in the end everything was as Luo Xiaotian thought at the beginning.

"Well, then, Mr. Ronald, I hope you can have a nice night ahead. As for the other thing, I can only say I'm sorry, that flower fairy of yours was not captured by the hunting party to which our Grant family belongs, she is from a black market merchant, we only know that the seller may be from Phoenix, because according to the records, that is the starting point of the transport, however, this may also be a cover-up done by the black market merchant. ”

"Hmm... Anyway, being able to know this is a clue, thank you for telling me. ”

......

"What did Marcus's father say to you just now? Ah, this salt-baked duck is delicious!"

"He signed a contract with me about the music box before, here, you can see for yourself. This fried chicken thigh is also delicious!"

Returning to Nina and Marx, Luo Xiaotian found that the party had begun, and the mayor of Fink, Earl Glynton Walpole, was a tall middle-aged man, and he was surrounded in the middle, talking to the enthusiastic people around him.

"Hey, you two? Just eat a little bit at this kind of party, who is there to eat? Isn't this a good chance to get acquainted with the mayor?"

"I'm squeezed to death, so I won't go!"

"You're going to go yourself, I'm not interested in it at all. ”

“... Two foodies! I wouldn't have come with you if I knew I wouldn't have come with you! Okay, I'll go by myself, you guys have a good meal..."

"Let's go, don't send it!"

This sentence was said by Nina, and Luo Xiaotian was not so cruel.

"Poof! The people in the way are finally gone! Rollo I'm going to eat that!"

Helen came out with a "poof", stretched her head around, and then pointed to a red, green, and green fruit not far away.

"Why did you learn from Jasmine to call me Rollo?"

"What's wrong with Jasmine? Where is Jasmine?"

"Hah, Jasmine, you're finally awake! Rollo, give me a Nina, I can't even see Jasmine. ”

The jasmine on top of her head seemed to suddenly recover from that dazed state and became refreshed. Luo Xiaotian opened his hand for Helen to jump in, and then handed her to Nina.

Tie up a red fruit with a toothpick and hand it to Helen, Luo Xiaotian picked one up and threw it into his mouth.

Well, it's kind of like a little tomato, oh no, it should be called cherry tomatoes.

"Jasmine, this is delicious, would you like to try it?"

"Jasmine only eats nectar, Jasmine doesn't eat anything else, rose nectar is the best!"

"Don't, you can taste it and know that there is something much better in this world than nectar. ”

After speaking, Helen climbed along Nina's shoulder to Luo Xiaotian's shoulder, and then climbed to the top of his head with a puff of smoke.

Luo Xiaotian quickly turned his head to look around, and was relieved to find that no one was paying attention.

"Rollo, don't turn your head! I almost fell!"

"Get me down, it's not good for people to see it, and don't eat on my head!"

"Hahaha, it's late, Jasmine hurry up and eat!"

"Well... It's delicious!"

Helen handed Jasmine half of the fruit tied to the toothpick along with the toothpick, and Jasmine didn't remember the agreement with Luo Xiaotian that she was not allowed to eat on her head, and kept stuffing the flesh into her mouth with a bulging mouth.

Simply no longer bothered with these two uneasy three-inch dings, Luo Xiaotian continued to look for eye-catching food while talking to Nina.

"Nina, who is Alice?"

"Who's who? Alice is Alice. ”

"No, I mean, what is Alice? It seems that Alice Marcus's father compromised me. ”

"Ah, I thought you knew... Brewster, Brewster, is the Brewster of Duke Alexander Brewster, and Alice is the youngest and favorite daughter of Lord Duke. When I was a kid living at my grandfather's house in Phoenix, I met Alice, and we haven't seen each other in years since we got back to Fink, but we write to each other every month, and thanks to this exchange student, we can finally be together again!"

"I see, no wonder the Grant family is so worried. ”

"Of course, who doesn't know that Alice's father controls most of the business and economy of the empire, and if he annoys Duke Brewster, he won't want to do business in the empire. ”

"I don't know how to get along with Alice in the future, but what about her?

"The protagonist of today's party is her, why don't you come. There. ”

Following Nina's finger, Alice was surrounded by a group of young men, men and women, holding an amber juice drink in her hand, maintaining a gentle but slightly distant smile, talking to the people around her.

As if sensing Luo Xiaotian's gaze, Alice glanced over here, then said something to the young people around her, and continued to hold up a sip of juice that she didn't have time to drink, and walked towards them.

"Helen, hide quickly, Alice is here. ”

"Oh..."

Helen expertly slid down Luo Xiaotian's hair, and then hid it into his neckline.

"When did you come? I didn't know how to rescue me, and I talked to them for a long time, and I said this kind of thing in front of so many people, all of them greeting my father's health, complimenting me for his courtesy, and wanting my father to give the green light to their family's business?"

"Haha, so I'm glad that my father hasn't inherited the title yet, and no one has come up to me to bother me. ”

"What's wrong with you, Ronald? Why do you have a hesitant look when you want to say something? Also, Jasmine is eating on your head. ”

"Ronald, he's suffering from gains and losses because he just found out that you have a duke's father!Hahaha, do you know that after the people of the Grant family found out about this later, they had to come over and sign a contract with Ronald because they were afraid of making you angry. I really want to see their expressions, it must be wonderful!"

"They're slow to react, I'll look at the contract... Well, it's quite sincere, Ronald, you must have chosen the second condition, right?"

"Yes, the second condition is much better anyway. ”

"That's where their cleverness comes in, the first condition is not to get you to say yes, but to make you not bargain on the second condition. ”

“... Am I being deceived by them again?"

"No, it's just a negotiation trick, and I believe the Grant family is still very sincere. ”

"Well, it's thanks to you that the Grant family will compromise this time, thank you very much!"

"Hehe, don't be so polite, you must know that this is the opposite, although you are a civilian, but you always feel very comfortable getting along, maybe you are the least civilian I have ever seen, so just keep the previous state. Plus, Jasmine finished eating and is wiping her hands with your hair~"

"Jasmine !!!"

......

The door to the town hall opened again, and an old man dressed in a black and red-trimmed bishop's uniform walked in, causing the hall to fall silent suddenly.

"Hmph! It's even later than the mayor, and the Cult of Light really doesn't take us seriously. ”

Alice raised the juice in her hand and drank it down.
