Chapter Twenty-Four: Death News (Asking for Votes and Seeking Follow-up!! )
"Dad, aren't we here to buy clothes?"
In the carriage of the church, Yunia tilted her head and kept looking back at the Morgan tailor's shop behind her: "Why don't you have to pay for things Dad..."
Ma Wei carried a few paper bags containing small dresses he had bought from a roadside ready-to-wear store, and it took time to order the clothes, and it was impossible to get them on the same day, so he had to buy a few for Yunia first.
"The amount I paid was something he couldn't refuse." Ma Wei replied: "Human beings are very simple and complex creatures, once you grasp their psychological appeals, you can smoothly control them.... I didn't want to use this trick, but the church was short of money, so I had to find another way. ”
"Daddy is amazing!"
Yunia kissed Ma Wei on the cheek: "So that we won't be short of money, right?" ”
"Still missing."
Ma Wei said calmly: "Far water can't solve the near fire, and it takes time to see the return on investment, but fortunately, our funds can still support the church for half a year, and by then Mr. Morgan will already be famous, and the problem of shortage of funds will be solved." ”
"Then Dad, who are you going to find to promote Grandpa Morgan?"
"Of course it is.... Dino the Gray Wolf! ”
..............................................
"You're looking for me for this?"
At 6 o'clock in the evening, in the luxurious and bright villa, the gray wolf Dino was slumped in the wide and soft leather sofa, wearing a lilac silk nightgown, holding a glass of vodka spirits in his hand, crossing Erlang's legs, and looking at Ma Wei and his daughter sitting opposite with interest:
"I thought you were here to practice for me.... I didn't expect it to be a business, it's really chilling. ”
"You said I'd come to you if I was in trouble."
Ma Wei took a sip of black tea and said calmly: "Anyway, you have to leave, and if you don't shine again, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." ”
“..... Did you say this considering my feelings? ”
"Need to think about it?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't think so."
“......”
Taking a sip of the spirits in the glass, the gray wolf Dino bared his teeth and muttered: "If someone else dared to talk to me like this, I would have kicked him out a long time ago!" ”
"Even if it's a big nobleman or a relative of the emperor sitting here?"
"Fuck, I'm going to be half angry every time I talk to you!"
The gray wolf Dino was so angry that he almost dropped the cup, and the butler Listed who was standing on the side looked at his nose and nose, pretending that he didn't hear anything and didn't understand anything.
"I can help you with this, but before I do that, I'm going to ask you...."
Putting away his joking tone, the gray wolf Dino sat up straight and said with a serious expression: "Are you asking me for help as a friend, or are you talking to me about business as a businessman?" ”
"The identity of a businessman."
"Okay, let's talk about business... I want half of the shares. ”
"No problem."
"Lisheld, go and draft the contract."
"Yes, sir."
The butler bowed slightly, no longer pretending to be dead, walked out of the room quickly, and went to draft the contract.
When there were only three of them left in the room, Dino the gray wolf suddenly asked, "Why did you never ask me for help as a friend?" ”
"Didn't I ask you to borrow a bottle last night?"
"That kind of trivial thing can count as a request?"
"No matter how small the matter is, you will help me after all, not to mention that it is a big deal for me."
"But I always felt like there was an invisible barrier between us."
"That's your mental problem, I don't think so."
"My problem?"
Dino leaned back, looked up at the gas chandelier on the ceiling, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Click....
After a while, the butler Lishard returned with a contract that had just been prepared, with clear terms and a list of almost every situation imaginable, and the contract would take effect immediately as long as he signed his name and pressed his handprint.
The gray wolf Dino took the pen, waved his hand, signed his name on the contract, and after pressing the handprint, he sneered: "I just remembered that you belong to the white wolf with empty gloves." ”
"I'll do the dirty work, leave the technical problems to the old tailor Morgan, and you don't have to do anything, you can get 25% of the share...."
"I'm the middleman."
Ma Wei shrugged, dipped his thumb in the ink, and pressed the end of the contract that the butler held in his hand: "There would be no cooperation without a middleman, so it makes sense for me to take 25% of the shares." ”
"Is it interesting to be a priest in a small church without going into business?"
"Of course it's interesting...."
Ma Wei looked at Yunia, who was beside him, his mouth was stuffed with macaron snacks, and said with a smile: "It is because I founded the Church of Truth that I was able to meet her, I don't regret my original decision, I prefer a plain life to a life in a turbulent situation." ”
"Sure enough, it's not all the way with you."
Shaking his head, the gray wolf Dino was completely helpless, waved his arm, and ordered: "Lisard, go and pack a few bags of snacks for my goddaughter to eat." ”
"Got it, sir."
"When did I agree to let you be Nia's godfather?"
"It's not a godfather, it's a godfather."
The gray wolf Dino corrected: "I'm so rich, am you not qualified as your daughter's godfather?" ”
Mavi smiled and didn't answer.
"Hey, you don't really think I'm not qualified!"
A spirit, the gray wolf Dino looked at Ma Wei vigilantly, pointed to the living room the size of several basketball courts and shouted: "This location, such a big house, is not something that can be bought just with money!" How many people begged me to be my godson, but I didn't agree! ”
"Money, while important, is not everything, Dino."
This sentence made the gray wolf Dino fall into deep thought again, he poured a glass of vodka, lowered his head and drank it in small gulps, dazed.
After getting the snack, Mavi stood up and said goodbye to him: "I'm leaving, thank you for the snack." ”
..............................
The streets are not quiet at night, drunks staggering along the roadside, taverns in the distance are brightly lit and loud songs are heard, accordions dance melodious in the cold wind, and thieves sneak in the shadows in search of tasty prey.
When Mavi returned to the church, he found several figures standing at the door of the church, wearing crisp tuxedos and black fur hats, banging on the door in a hurry.
The police?
What do they come to church for?
Walking quickly, Ma Wei stopped them from knocking on the door and asked, "Officer, is there something wrong?" ”
"Who are you?" The policeman at the head asked.
"Mavi Enders, Father of the Church of Truth."
"You're just in time, come with us."
The policeman at the head made a look, and several of his subordinates surrounded Ma Wei at once.
"Why did you arrest me?"
Ma Wei said unhurriedly: "There must be a crime against arresting people, officer." ”
"Did you go to Maggie Chrissy's house at 2 p.m. today?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Maggie Chrissy is dead, and we are taking you to the scene for investigation on the orders of Superintendent Macmillan."
