"You are ......" The four people, eight glances, pierced the lady's face at the same time, but she looked leisurely, picked up the teacup on the table, took a shallow sip, and had an expression of enjoyment on her face. Catherine couldn't help but ask, "Can you repeat what you just asked, this lady?" ”

"I'm going to go back. The lady remained calm, and said in a reasonable tone, "It's also valid for you to apply, how many team leaders?"

"Uh, wait, let me guess, you're not going to be Ms. Mercedes, are you?" Catherine asked with a strange look in her eyes, "Ms. Mesedes from the Golden Eyeshadow Studio in the Capital of Knowledge." ”

"That's me. Mercedes stretched out her hand, and Catherine didn't know what expression to make at all, so she could only mechanically retract her grip: "Mercedes, the top makeup artist of golden eyeshadow, is always at your service." You see, your skin has been rough and dry lately, and it must have not been well maintained. In fact, your skin is naturally good, although the complexion is slightly darker, but a little foundation can cover up this imperfection, and your nasolabial folds are a little heavy, you need to use ......"

"Stop!" Catherine slapped the table and whispered, "You still want to go back?"

"Conspiracy? Mercedes waved her hand in front of her face as if nothing had happened: "You think too much, I have no conspiracy at all." ”

"How dare you appear again without a conspiracy?" Catherine said gloomily, "You are not afraid...... Hey, hey, hey. ”

"Don't make a fuss, leader. Mercedes covered her mouth and sneered: "I'm all gone, what else dare not appear." ”

"Because we'll ask you who is behind it. Catherine said with a gesture of rolling up her sleeves and wanting to move.

"But if you ask to compete according to the rules, the automatic exit is considered a voluntary exit, but it is not a loser, and you have every right to refuse to answer. Mercedes laughed and picked up a piece of plum meat from her lunch and handed it over: "Do you want to eat it, it's very sour." ”

"Don't. Catherine angrily pushed away Mercedes's hand, and the four of them sat down at her table, and Catherine asked, "You can sneak back to the City of Knowledge silently, why do you inexplicably ask to return to the team?"

"A personal relationship is a personal relationship, and a job is a job. Mercedes said confidently, "I helped trouble you because of personal relationships." Applying to return to the team again is for work, and these two things should not be confused. ”

"It really can't be confused. Pannis continued: "But this is not the reason for you to return to the team voluntarily at the risk of being blinded by us and venting your personal anger, you should always have some more specific reasons, we can't reassure you without making it clear." ”

"Okay, okay. Of course, it's for the reward, and this time the wedding is very rewarding. Mercedes hung her shoulders and said weakly: "In order to get paid, of course you have to take risks." Heck, how can you people understand such great feelings. ”

"Nope. I understand it. Catherine had the urge to cry: "Finally I met a normal person who was close to my thoughts." ”

"You understand? It's great. Mercedes held Catherine's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Then you agreed to me to return to the team?"

"Of course not. Catherine's face changed, she withdrew her hand vigorously, and said with a straight face: "It doesn't make much difference to us whether you return to the team or not, but you have to take the risk that you may have other conspiracies, and we are not stupid, why should we do such a superfluous thing innocently." ”

"Don't be so cruel to the team leaders, if you leave the team voluntarily, not only will you have to return the deposit, but you will also have to pay 30% of the liquidated damages. That's a lot of money. Mercedes said with a sad face: "Otherwise, I will pay you a deposit of one hundred gold coins, and promise that I will not have any conspiracy." ”

"What are you kidding? you want to buy us?" Catherine slammed the table and said angrily, "You underestimate us too much, you must pay us at least thirty percent of the liquidated damages." ”

"Hey, big sister. Lina said with a broken face, "What about your professional ethics?"

"Rest assured, they're not bad people. Catherine comforted Lina: "It's just some competitors, and there is no other danger to those who admit defeat." ”

"yes, it's just a gamble and a game, so why are you serious?" said Messedes very carelessly, "I've already quit." For the sake of a game, there is no need to play back. And my foundation is in the Holy Capital, so what do you have to worry about? But thirty percent is impossible. I will give you a maximum of 300 gold coins. ”

"Don't think I don't know, you black-hearted makeup studios all charge by the hour, and this time you continue to hire for a month, it must be a huge honorarium, and thirty percent is not a small amount. Catherine did not back down: "Now you want to perfunctory us with three hundred gold coins? ”

"Are you stupid? The total amount of the deposit is not that much. Mercedes screamed, "I'll pay you so much." At most, I'll give you five hundred, and if I don't return to the team, I might as well pay the liquidated damages. ”

"Then you go, you don't have to pay liquidated damages, and you have to return the deposit at that time, which is more of a loss?" Catherine leaned her upper body forward aggressively, and said with oppressive force: "Fifteen hundred gold coins, this is my bottom line, and I will never back down." ”

"You're dreaming. Mercedes waved the knife and fork in her hand and shouted, "Seven hundred gold coins, it can't be more, if it is more, it is better to kill me directly." ”

"Seven hundred, don't even think about it. Catherine also said fiercely: "One thousand, I don't agree that everyone will break up now." ”

"Deal. The two ladies smiled at the same time, as if they were not the ones who had quarreled fiercely just now, and gently high-fived them with graceful movements, and whispered, "Welcome home." "I'm back, thank you, team leader. ”

"Your chivalry will cry again, eldest sister. Lina covered her eyes and couldn't bear to look at her: "Are you really a knight?"

"I didn't break the spirit of chivalry, and the spirit of chivalry didn't say that you were not allowed to talk about business. Catherine said calmly: "It's because of this group of guys that the young men of the City Guard have to do a lot of extra work every day, hard like hard labor, and there is no more pay, I help them fight for some extra income as compensation, which is more in line with the fair entry of chivalry." ”

"Okay okay, you always have a point. Lina said wistfully: "You bargained and delayed too much time, and you are about to gather, hurry up and leave, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you if you're late." ”

"Can you get back to the team now?Mercedes?" Catherine returned to normal, "What else is there to prepare?"

"No, I expected you to pack everything up and leave when you got here. Mercedes said, "Even if you don't come, I'll look for you." ”

"Let's go, then. Catherine exhaled, stood up, and said, "Let's go and explain to Captain Erlan first." ”

"Hey, fox, I'll go first. Mercedes waved at a thin figure in front of the bar, "Tell the bear for me, and say that my sister wishes him a successful plan, although I don't think it's very likely." ”

"Got the duck. The fox waved goodbye without looking back: "Come back and see more when you have time, don't always guard your studio, those of us who are younger brothers miss you very much." ”

"Alright, alright, verbose fox. Mercedes turned around and left: "I can't go back twice a year in the future?" ”

"Hey, who's that?, fox?" Catherine asked, chasing after Mercedes, "and your guys?"

"Yes, he made the whole plan yesterday. Mercedes said, "It's a pity that you cracked it, so he had to quit." ”

"How many of you are here? Lina looked around, "It always feels like an animal could pop up at any moment." ”

"That's right, look ahead. Mercedes gestured to the two men who were approaching her. Both men were tall, one muscular and the other tall but emaciated. Seeing these two people, Catherine and Lina shouted angrily at the same time, "Are you? Are you the frog (coyote)?"

"I don't think I need to introduce you. Mercedes shrugged, "That's them." ”

"Haha, this Miss Catherine. The sturdy frog looked like a knight, and when he saw Catherine's eyes lit up, he shouted happily, "I admire your knightly skills so much that I would have dreamed of yesterday's battle at night." If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely ask you for advice. ”

"No problem. As an exchange between the two knights, Catherine also said boldly: "After the final winner is decided, you can do it at any time." But you're really out of the game, aren't you?"

"Of course, I promise. The frog made a knight's oath: "Pledge in the name of the knight." ”

"In the name of the knights. Catherine also replied with a knightly understanding: "Then let's go back and prepare for the next challenge, and then we'll meet." ”

"Sister, make more money. Watching the five people leave with the frog, the coyote kept waving his hand and shouting, "When the time comes, brother, you must lend me money when I ask you to borrow money." ”

"Get out!" Mercedes shouted angrily, "You guy borrowed money and went to drink and find a woman, and when I go back next time, tell your old man and let him break your legs." ”

"You're familiar with that. Pannis asked, "How long have you known each other?"

"Of course, they grew up fighting together, and I was a few years older than them, and I grew up watching them fight. Mercedes didn't hide it, and replied directly: "Do you say we're familiar with each other?"

"She knows you well, too. Pannis asked casually.

"Looks like you've guessed something. Mercedes was stunned for a moment, and smiled strangely: "But she doesn't know us at all, and she is not a person in the same circle." By the way, you won't be stupid enough to say it, right? ”

"Of course not. Pannis said, "You didn't see Catherine and the way they were about to eat me, and I kept them a secret." ”

"That's good. Mercedes said to Catherine and the three of them: "Secrecy is the best choice, not only for us, I hope you understand." ”

"Hmph. The girls snorted heavily, turned and left. (To be continued.) )
