Chapter 22: Caroline's Determination
"President Xu, are these street lamps difficult to pave?" asked Xu Yi, pointing to the street lamps on both sides of the road in the Falling Rain Valley.
"It's not that difficult from my point of view. Xu Yi replied with a smile.
"That means it's difficult from my point of view, isn't it?"
Xu Yi smiled: "That's right." Although the related technology of street lamps is not complicated, only our new flying chamber of commerce has mastered this technology, which is of course very difficult for others. ”
"I heard that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has sold several more important technologies, so it can be seen that President Xu, you are not someone who has to be held in your own hands. So I would now like to ask, what are the conditions if we want to buy the technology related to the laying of this street lamp?" asked the Lord Caroline.
Seeing that Lord Carolyn deliberately put on a seductive demeanor and posture again, Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, at the moment, we don't plan to sell this technology, because this technology actually contains a lot of the highest-end magic array technology that our Chamber of Commerce is researching, so it's inconvenient to reveal it." ”
Lord Caroline was not disappointed, and continued to ask, "So what if it is other technologies that can be revealed, such as the manufacturing technology of those farmland magic machines, I don't think it is a particularly important technology, right?"
"It's a pity that although the manufacturing technology of farmland magic machinery is not something that cannot be disclosed, but if you want to manufacture farmland magic machinery, the most important thing is not the relevant technical parameters, but the operation of experienced skilled workers. I think...... Except for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that there are no qualified skilled workers in other places. ”
"Is that so?" said Lord Caroline, reflecting on what she had seen in the Rainfall Valley in the past few days. found that Xu Yi was not deliberately lying to shirk.
The dwarf robots and the small number of human workers who produce all sorts of magic machines clearly have very good practical experience. Anyone else. It's absolutely impossible to live up to their standard of operation.
After confirming this situation, Lord Carolyn's eyes rolled and she no longer mentioned the issue, but continued to walk around the Falling Rain Valley with Xu Yi.
After the itinerary, which was more like a walk than an accompanying visit, the Caroline County Lord stopped and sighed to Xu Yi and said, "President Xu, although it is a pity, I have to say. Our visit to the Falling Rain Valley has come to an end, and I am afraid I will have to return to the Duchy of Draco. ”
Xu Yi nodded: "I'm sorry, I originally hoped that I could let His Royal Highness the County Lord stay for a few more days and get to know our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce well." ”
Lord Caroline smiled playfully: "Actually, I'm more interested in getting to know you than I know more about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." President Hsu. You are the most special man I have ever met, and you have helped me achieve the dream I have had since I was a child. If you're not married, I'll be determined to snatch you into my own hands. Of course, even now, I'm always welcome if you want to......
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "His Royal Highness the County Lord." Don't tease me anymore. Our preliminary cooperation agreement has been reached and there are many opportunities to meet in the future. I'm worried about you going like this. One day, I will not be able to control myself and do something sorry for my wife. ”
Lord Caroline immediately let out a crisp laugh like a silver bell: "Haha, President Xu, you are so cute. I've told you many times that it's not a big deal, and even your wife won't mind. ”
"But I don't mind. Xu Yizheng said.
"Okay, okay, I know, President Xu, you are a serious man, I promise not to tease you again in the future, how about it?" The Caroline County Lord raised her eyebrows at Xu Yi, and at a glance, she knew that she was talking casually with this assurance.
Seeing her expression, Xu Yi couldn't help but have a headache.
If it was someone else, he wouldn't have to contact him in the future, just avoid it, but if nothing else, the Duchy of Drake would be a very important partner of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it would be impossible for Xu to not meet her at all in the future.
Seeing the expression on Xu Yi's face, Lord Caroline let out a long laugh again, and then waved his hand at Xu Yi: "Okay, President Xu, those trivial little things Anduin has already negotiated with you, let's stop here for the private matter between us, and we will continue next time we meet in Sewell City." As he spoke, he showed a provocative smile at Xu Yi, took two steps closer, and said softly: "Next time, I will make the bed in advance and wait for President Xu to come to you." ”
Without waiting for any indication of this, Lord Caroline spun slightly, turned around, and stepped into the carriage that had been prepared long ago.
A moment later, Lord Caroline opened the window of the carriage and ran a flying kiss to Xu Yi, and then was carried by the carriage and quickly left the Falling Rain Valley.
Seeing the figure of the Caroline County Lord gradually moving away, Xu Yi shook his head with a wry smile again.
Although this Caroline county lord always put on a dissolute appearance in front of him, because of her boldness and straightforwardness, Xu Yi couldn't really hate her.
It's just that when he thought that he would be teased by her every time he saw her in the future, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a deep helplessness.
After all, if a woman is a hooligan, it is really much more terrible than a man being a hooligan.
What's more, she is still such a beautiful and charming female hooligan......
Unlike Xu Yi's helpless sigh here, after the carriage drove out of the Falling Rain Valley and galloped on the Falling Rain Highway leading to Bonta City, the Caroline County Lord in the carriage lowered the curtains, but the smile and flirtatious expression on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it became extremely dignified, and even with a trace of majesty that could not be ignored.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, she has changed from the female hooligan who keeps teasing Xu Yi to a real county lord.
Seeing the change in Caroline's expression, Anduin, who was sitting opposite her, sighed and said sincerely: "Your Royal Highness, these days are really embarrassing for you. ”
Lord Caroline shook her head slightly, "No. I don't have anything to worry about. This Xu is also a true gentleman. So he actually didn't bother me at all these days. ”
"But our goal has not been achieved, has we? If we go back like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the Sark Kingdom. Anduin said with a sad face.
Lord Caroline glanced at Anduin and snorted lightly: "Why do you have to explain to them? Actually, I was originally opposed to my father and the gang of people in the Kingdom of Sark making this kind of deal, even if we helped them get the information they needed from Xu Yi, what would it help us? Our way of survival in the Principality of Dedraco has always been to maintain a balance between the Kingdom of Lampari and Sark, and try not to take sides. Now that my father has made such a choice, I strongly disagree. ”
Anduin frowned: "The Grand Duke, he can't help it. Although we in the Duchy of Drake could survive like this before, once either the Lampari Kingdom or the Sark Kingdom made up their minds. It's hard for all of us to really save ourselves. ”
"So I've always been against this way of survival. It is far better to take control of your own destiny than to hand it over to others. Caroline County Main Road.
"It's so hard to do that. Anduin sighed, "Your Highness the County Lord, after all, we are only a small principality, and we do not have the strength to truly compete with these two kingdoms that are much stronger than us. ”
"I didn't think I could do it before, but this time I was forced to come here to meet Xu Yi, and I found a glimmer of possibility. Lord Caroline's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Anduin, you should know that the Kingdom of Sark lost badly in the battle with the Kingdom of Lampari for the Muerto Mountains last month, right?"
"Well, because the armament of the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom has suddenly become very powerful, so that the greedy wolf legion of the Sark Kingdom cannot resist it at all. This will lead to the loss of the Murto Mountains. Anduin nodded. "It is because of this that the Kingdom of Sark will secretly reach an agreement with the Grand Duke. Gave us the benefit, let your Royal Highness the county lord come to inquire about the information. ”
Speaking of this, Antonin paused, and let out another sigh: "Actually, I don't want the Grand Duke to make this decision either, Your Royal Highness the County Lord, you are not such a person at all, but you have to pretend to be such a picture according to the deployment of the Staff Office of the Sark Kingdom...... It's too embarrassing for you to look unseemly. ”
"It's nothing. Lord Caroline shook his head: "If it can really be beneficial to our Duchy of Drake, my body is nothing. But I have to say that the guys in the Sark Kingdom underestimate this Xu Yi too much, and he is not a person who can be captured by relying on simple beauty. In addition, I found it a little strange to have contact with him these days. ”
"What's strange?"
"I think...... This Xu Yi doesn't seem to particularly care about the appearance of the Lampari Kingdom. He had told me more than once that his greatest wish was for the magic machines produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to spread throughout the continent, so that all the people of the continent could live a comfortable new life. ”
"It's just a deliberate brag he made in front of you, right?" Anduin pouted disdainfully. "This kind of worthless language is not bad to deceive the little girl, how can you be fooled, Your Royal Highness the county lord. ”
"Why did he lie to me?" asked Lord Carolyn rhetorically. "Don't forget, I made it clear that I wanted to seduce him, and he didn't need to coax me with sweet words, because I could have sex with him whenever he wanted to. And I can really feel his sincerity in his words, so I think that both we and the guys in the Kingdom of Sark have a very wrong judgment about him. ”
Anduin looked at the county lord Caroline in astonishment: "Your Royal Highness, you ...... You don't really like him, do you?"
Lord Caroline smiled sweetly, "To be honest, I'm afraid I really like him." But as he told me, I wasn't even as attractive to him as two iron mines, and he was nowhere near as attractive to me as I was to make our Duchy of Drak strong. ”
"But you just said ......"
"Yes, I found in him the possibility of making our Duchy of Drake truly strong. Lord Caroline said seriously, "So this time, I want to really work with him." (To be continued......)
