Section 5: I Am Your Friend (Part I)
"Hmm...... It's me. Good night, Miss Wenli, visiting late at night is really abrupt. Even Townsend, who was so powerful, couldn't find any excuse at this time. He let go of the maid and smiled apologetically at her: "So you already recognize me-look at my brain, I didn't recognize you, didn't scare you? You were wearing a blue leather robe that day, and your figure was not so graceful. ”
"Riva has a very good figure, a soft waist and is very attractive when she dances. Seeing Townsend's embarrassment, Wenli couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "Riva, please serve us tea, don't alarm others." ”
"Looks like I'm going to apologize, Miss Wenli, I didn't know it was you, otherwise I wouldn't be so abrupt. Townsend finally cleared up the confusion: "I understand, the Blue Blossom Chamber of Commerce is actually the property of the Swarosia family, no wonder it can stand here for decades." ”
"Actually, not as serious as Mr. Townsend thought, the Blue Stamus Chamber of Commerce does belong to the Swarosia family, and has traditionally been only a private property of the patriarch. Now, it's my father's vacation spot. Miss Wenli said, "I have not thanked Mr. Townsend for the fur he gave me, my father is very fond of it, and the greatest act of reparation of the year has been successful." ”
"It's just a piece of skin, don't worry about it. Townsend shook his head and took the maid's teacup: "Miss Wenli, I want to take the liberty of asking, do you have control over the Blue Blossom Chamber of Commerce and Harvey Town?"
"Now that you've found out, it's useless for me to deny it. Miss Wenli said, "Although this little business belongs to my father in name, he pushes most of the things to me, and I spend fifteen days a year taking care of it. ”
"Fifteen days a year?" Townsend exclaimed, "It's super efficient." ”
"No way, I still have to finish my studies. Wenli smiled and explained: "I will only be able to graduate from the Andorra Academy in a year. ”
Miss Wen Li's answer was unexpected, but after all, he didn't come to spend money with people tonight, and he decided to enter the established process as soon as possible: "In that case, Miss Wen Li, I probably have something to trouble you. ”
"Mr. Townsend, please. I can do my best in private matters, but I can't guarantee it in official matters. Miss Wenli picked up the teacup in front of her: "By the way, speaking of private matters, Priest Auston has been looking for you in Haisenway for a long time, and I only went to the Church of Radiance a few days ago. ”
"Something special happened and I had to be separated from him for a while. All in all, the result of this particular circumstance is that I am now in charge of the survival of thirty or so people. Townsend gave the briefest explanation: "Thirty young men with excellent fighting ability, I have to find a way to feed them, well, not to make a lot of noise." ”
"Low-key, how is Mr. Townsend going to feed them?" Miss Wenli gently blew on the vapor on the teacup, not at all like they were talking about business, although in essence, the two of them had already entered the negotiation stage.
With Wenli's intelligence, of course, she understood Townsend's words, and she also used her imagination logically: thirty young men with excellent combat effectiveness were probably the guards sent by the family to protect Townsend, right? What kind of Chinese family is behind Mr. Townsend?
"It's okay to be fed, hunted or something, but that doesn't fit my needs and arrangements, after all, these people also need a way out. Townsend's words once again made Miss Wenli firm up her thoughts, Townsend must be a child of a big family who ran away or went out to practice: "I think Miss Wenli can consider working with this small team from the perspective of the local chamber of commerce." ”
"Can I hear first," Miss Wenli's monetization is remarkable: "What kind of cooperation is it?"
"One of the options: can a section of the road outside the town be carved out for them? so that they can not enter the town, but only appear in the name of mountain bandits or mercenaries, and can set up a cordon for the local chamber of commerce, eliminate competition and communicate information, and even accept covert employment from the chamber of commerce. Townsend told his plan: "Plan 2: let them into the town, and the local chamber of commerce will set aside a piece of land and property for them to run, and the tax administration will be the same as everyone else." ”
"What are Mr. Townsend's companions good at?" said Miss Wenli, "If you do business, you need professional skills. ”
"They are good at small-scale combat, including stealth reconnaissance, surprise sabotage, murder and arson. Oh, and speaking of which. Townsend stood up, picked up a portable lamp and gestured out the window: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you, they were lying outside." ”
"It's wild, it's cold at night. Miss Wenli followed Townsend's instructions and looked out, but found nothing: "Mr. Townsend is so cunning, in this case, I have no choice but the first plan." ”
"Well, it's true, I originally only planned to tell the head of the local chamber of commerce the first plan, but when I met Miss Wenli, even if I wanted to think about it temporarily, I had to give another choice, otherwise it would seem very insincere. Townsend was not embarrassed at all: "It seems that sincerity alone is not enough, how about I owe you a favor?"
"Let me think about it......" Miss Wenli looked at Townsend, "what kind of favor is it?"
"A favor between friends," Townsend blurted out, "Miss Wenli, I see you as a friend." ”
"Oh. Miss Wenli blinked, turned around and walked away two steps with the teacup in her hand, and then turned around: "Look at it as a friend." ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm a bit shy about my surname," Townsend said, "Miss Wenli, I'm your friend." ”
With an almost imperceptible smile on her face, Wen Li took a sip of tea. When Townsend said, "I see you as a friend", she found in Townsend's eyes and tone of voice that the superior's self-lowering is not good in the relationship between friends, although this kind of thing is good news in negotiations. Although this may be Townsend's habit, Miss Wenli is still stabbed in the heart.
Townsend quickly identified the problem and corrected it with a serious attitude. Speaking of which, including the last time they met, she had never seen Townsend with a serious look, and his serious expression was very attractive. If he were willing to take the stage in the drama club of the Andorra Academy, the female students in the audience would lose their rings, earrings and necklaces.
"Mr. Townsend, I am also your friend, so I am determined that you are a favor creditor. Miss Wenli replied generously: "Leva, please bring me the map on my desk - Mr. Townsend, you can choose a location five miles away from Harveytown." ”
"Because there are boats, I want a location with waterways. Townsend pointed his finger to the map: "It's okay here." ”
