Session 1: To Talk or Not to Talk (Part II)
Section 1: To Talk or Not to Talk?
Bennet's action of striking mén is not one, but a whole set.
Smiling, striding and standing upright. While the two hands are raised, the four fingers of the left hand are together, dragging the sleeve corner under the right wrist, and the right wrist is freely rotated in the lift, showing the index finger that surrounds the thumb nail - the slightly curled knuckles percussion + passion on the mén door, slightly, aggravated, and then aggravated.
Ting is elegant and complicated, but Bennaid is very skillful and uses it smoothly, like a master casting an ability.
A qualified caravan leader is not so easy to be, even if he knocks mén, and it must be more troublesome in other ways, so Townsend has no interest in honest business—no matter how good this kind of business is, it will make a lot of money.
"Distinguished guest, the contemptible is the leader of the Thorn Rose Merchant Order. Passing through the closed wooden mén, he said in a fresh and clear voice: "It is presumptuous to come in the evening—may I ask you?"
"Please come in. There was a dull NV sound in the inner hall, and the old housekeeper had already come out, so it should be the NV who was dressed up by the wife who spoke.
"Reckless. Benneid glanced at Townsend, then with a confident, sincere smile, he walked in with his head held high, and closed the mén casually.
Then, there was silence in the hall on the second floor......
Time was slowly passing, and Townsend sat quietly in the hallway, his eyes not moving. But Townsend's quietness was only a façade, for he had already drunk two cups of tea and eaten three pieces of snack.
The people in the hall on the first floor recovered from being able to speak in a xiǎo voice, and even developed into a jiāo head to ear, and the whole process was watched by Townshend. If it was in normal times, he would definitely enjoy this kind of refreshing eyesight. Maybe I'll have some fun inside.
But Townsend was distracted, and it was clear that he was lost in thought.
In this short period of time, Townsend did think a lot, a lot. The reunion with Sister Wen Li Xiǎo was certainly a surprise, but as the leader of the Thorn Rose, Towngson's joy did not last long, and he soon felt worried. Because Wen Li's appearance was an accident, she completely beat Luàn's own arrangement.
Somehow, this matter will be a big deal - at this stage, among all of Townsend's men, the former Harvey townspeople make up a large share. The role they play can be said to be crucial, from logistics to business groups, they are acting as the backbone.
So Townsend had to keep these people around.
But if Sister Wen Li is starting from scratch now, she also needs people to start a business, right? If she asks for someone, what choice should Townsend make?
Looking at the scene in front of you, you can see the excellence of the Swarosia family - the leader of the phoenix tail huā was pressed by Townsend with a giant sword, and he would have fallen down crying for his father and mother, but this middle-aged man with an unsurprising appearance is different. After receiving the old butler's signal, he actually endured the pain on his shoulders and explained to the representatives of the six major forces with a smile on his face.
The weight of the greatsword, coupled with his own strength, Townsend knew that the feeling on his shoulder should be "sharp pain"!
In his soft-spoken explanation, Townsend is a classmate of his own young master, and he is also a child of a mysterious big family, needless to say, he is powerful. This time, it was because of Chéng's etiquette that Townsend ran out of the foundation industry, but he didn't expect to face the phoenix tail Huā - the upstairs was the young master of the family, and the two sides were naturally happy when they met, and the previous ones were pure misunderstandings.
After explaining over and over again, there was no strange look on his face.
Although the representatives of the six major forces felt that this explanation was far-fetched, they all ran out to explain with their injuries, so sincere, so humble, they couldn't help but appreciate it. As for why the two families met each other, what happened above, and what the truth was, it didn't really matter at all.
As long as the business negotiated earlier is not affected, who will really care about the previous xiǎāqu? So everyone laughed at each other and turned to the details of the business.
Ten minutes were up, and Townsend put down his teacup. There were many people who secretly watched him, but no one could tell the joy and anger on Townsend's face, and he just sat like that, not nervous or agitated.
Now, it's up to Bennaider to choose......
Putting the teacup away, Townsend stood up, and at the same time as he stood up, the back hall opened, and Benneth walked out slowly. His eyes were slightly red, his calm expression was full of surprise and sadness, and Lu's fingers outside his sleeve were trembling a little.
Townsend could fully imagine what was happening in the hall, and he understood Bennett's feelings. This is the first time Bennaid's family has met since Harvey's tragedy. When he saw the head of the house, it was strange that the caravan leader of xiǎoxiǎo did not move.
After all, Benneth had followed Townsend for more than half a year, and he knew a thing or two about keeping his composure - he just took a step out of the mén mouth, and he didn't come forward.
He tugged on Mén, then turned over and looked at Townsend with a strange look.
"It's all talked?" Seeing that Benneth didn't salute himself as soon as he came out, Townsend was very relieved, and he asked with a relaxed expression, "What are you watching me do?" ”
"You...... You're really ......" Benneid sighed lowly, "You already knew, didn't you?"
"What do I know? Lao Tzu was very warm-hearted, and he took you out first without saying anything, but instead of getting your good reward, he put on a false appearance for me. Townsend raised his eyebrows: "Familiar, what you say will be beaten!"
"I refused. Bennet's voice was a little hoarse.
"What?" Townsend was stunned: "What did you refuse?"
"I rejected Master Hazel's suggestion that I immediately return to the family and take charge of part of the estate. Ben Naide's expression was sad: "I'm a ghost, right?" But Sister Xiǎo actually supports this, she really supports it, Sister Xiǎo never tells lies about this kind of thing. ”
"What's so strange, I support you. Very supportive, hands up!"
Townsend had a serious look on his face, but he was smiling in his heart. Thorn Rose is now short of people everywhere, and there is a lot of work on the merchant group's side, and it really can't be without Bennet. He didn't give any words to Bennaid beforehand, it seemed that the prime minister could hold the boat in his belly and not put any pressure on him, but in fact, this method was much more effective than directly applying pressure, especially for people like Bennett.
"I hope my decision won't hurt Sister Xiǎo - by the way, Sister Xiǎo asks the leader to come in. Bennaid's helplessness against such a leader, and he understood that Townsend didn't want to hear his reasons for refusing, and he didn't have the time to do it.
So Benneid tidied up his clothes again and decided to use his mission to suppress the entanglement and apprehension in his heart: "As the leader of the merchant group of Thorn Rose, I must go downstairs to perform my duties!"
"I promise, you're not going to lose to that guy. Townsend knew what Benneid was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulder: "Now that everyone is equal, go ahead and defeat him with dignity!"
"Don't worry, even in this situation, I will be able to pry something out of his hand!" said the leader, and Bennaid, so encouraged that he collected his mood and walked downstairs in a dignified and high-spirited manner.
Townsend knocked on Mén much simpler, slapped his palm twice, and then pushed Mén directly in.
"Please come in," the room was empty, and only Sister Wen Li Xiǎo sat alone at the table.
Hazel stood a dozen paces away, facing away from the hall, looking out from the window. Townsend glanced at it from his own angle, and didn't know what was so nice about the swarthy outside—she was probably sulking? Was it because the offer was rejected?
"Mr. Townsend, please come and take a seat. Sister Wen Li Xiǎo rose up and solemnly invited Townsend to take a seat.
"Of course, thank you Sister Xiǎo for your kindness. Townsend walked over with a smile and found a set of beautiful tea utensils on the table, as well as some well-made metal cans and the like. It seems that like the world he remembers, the people here also like to develop certain details of life as a kind of spiritual enjoyment.
"I have something to tell Mr. Townsend, that immediately after the Harvey tragedy, I commissioned the Anomalous Guild to send the best doctors to Harvey to treat you. But at that time, the whole area was cordoned off, and no one could enter. Sister Wen Li looked at Townsend with a little worry: "I heard that Mr. Townsend was injured at that time, so is there any residual pain?"
"If so, please let me know, and allow me to arrange treatment for you. "Once Sister Wenli Xiǎo gets serious, she actually has another charm, which is the kind of beauty that is very jing.
"It's not that serious, I just fell into the ability of an old church hunger, I heard that it is called imprisonment. Townsend shook his head and said, "It was unraveled by a friend of mine a few days later, and there were no sequelae." ”
"Imprisonment is an advanced technique of the Radiant Church, and when converted into abilities, it should be above level five, and the effect is very vicious. Hai Rouer by the window said, although she was still a little angry, but it was a kind reminder: "Don't look at this ability, the person who is hit will have a great loss of body, and even his mind will have problems." ”
"I really don't feel it myself. The friend who woke me up from my confinement was already at the level of a high-level ability apprentice at the time, and her movements were very hearty, and she was often checked afterwards. Townsend smiled and said, "In addition, I haven't found anything missing for so long." ”
"If you want to have your body checked thoroughly, the memories of this Anomaly Apprentice are important. We asked Bennet, but the hunder wouldn't even say her name. Hézel's anger tended to rise: "For the Swarosia family, he actually talked about trust and trade secrets in front of the head of the family...... It's ridiculous!"
Hazel was angry, but Townsend was pleased with Bennet's performance, and in any case, it was a sign of dedication. Even between the family and the Thorn Rose, Bennay chose the Thorn Rose for the time being.
But it's not entirely like that, because in the Thorn Rose, there are more people with the surname Swarosia. And the caravan also has a share of the Swarosia family...... If you really want to separate the two, I'm afraid you will have to cut it with the big knife of a fanatic.
It would be impossible to say that Townsend was not entangled at all. Now he can only hope that the other party will have a clear mind, a flexible mind, and a longer vision.
Sister Wen Li xiǎo shouldn't let him down.
