Chapter 138: The First Cup of Tea

Summer Night sucks her fingers.

Hmm~It's so sweet~~

"Sister Summer Night, what are you doing?" Lillian asked curiously.

"Do you want to taste it?"

"Huh?"

Before Lilian could react, Summer Night shoved her finger directly into her mouth.

"Woo! Uh-huh...... Hmm~~~~"

Although she was startled at first, immediately after, a luscious sweetness that she had never tasted before spread in her mouth.

Lillian couldn't help but lick it with her tongue again, she wanted to remember the taste, maybe the next time she made dessert, she could reproduce it.

But after only two licks, his fingers were taken away by the summer night.

"Sister Summer Night......" Lillian looked at her with a blank eye.

But Summer Night has put her fingers back into her mouth, like a little girl who is reluctant to give up the lollipop to someone else.

Suck Suck ......

It's so sweet~

By the time Summer Night took her fingers out, the sweetness had already been eaten up by her.

"Nope." She said to Lillian.

"Woo~~ Sister Summer Night, bad."

"Actually, it's the first time I've eaten it, I didn't expect it to be so delicious, and I accidentally finished it. The next time I have the chance, I'll give it all to you. Summer Night comforted.

"Yay!"

Lilian is really good at coaxing, and Summer Night secretly thinks in her heart, Susha is hiding in this time, and she may not come out when she will come out, and she doesn't know what she promised to keep.

She looked at the flowers in the cup and saw that the other party was curled up at the bottom, motionless, looking like he had been played.

Forget it, let it sleep a little longer, Summer Night thought kindly.

"That...... Summernight-sama, you just said that Curran has given up killing me for the time being, can you tell me more about what's going on? Chrissy was always thinking about it.

However, even if she didn't ask, Summer Night would tell her, after all, everything Curran said to her, she needed to check with Chriss.

"As soon as I got back to Debussota, Curran invited me over for a chat, and she started talking about it from the time you were at the Bafaelia Academy, and all the way to the ...... of 'ocean-going ships' became 'long-distance charters'."

Summer Night repeats what Curran had said to her, most of which are briefly touched around to save time, and only where she or Chrisse find it doubtful will it be elaborated.

Even so, she didn't finish until her throat was dry.

"Lillian, I'm thirsty." She said to Lillian.

"Right now, Sister Summer Night." Lillian ran into the kitchen, and in a few moments, came out with a glass of cold juice that she had never seen in a summer night.

"Hmm~ delicious, thank you, Lillian."

"Hee-hee, Sister Summer Night drink slowly, I've made a lot~" Lilian, who was praised, said happily.

"Lillian, I'm thirsty too." Chrissy said she had just said a lot of things.

"Well, wait a minute."

Lillian walked into the kitchen, and after a while, came out with a glass of lukewarm water and placed it in front of Chris.

"Drink." She said with a smile.

"Uh, I want that juice too......"

"I'm sorry I don't have it~"

"But you just said that there are many ......"

"I'm sorry I don't have it~"

"Wow, it always feels like the stupid Lillian has become stronger since Lord Summer Night came back."

"I'm sorry I don't have it~"

“……”

“……”

Finally, Chrissy picked up her glass and took a long sip of water.

After her throat was moistened, she returned to the topic:

Curran was telling the truth, but there were some things she described more ...... Insipid. She said to Summer Night.

"Bland?"

"For example, Curran tells you that in order for a company to survive in downtown downtown, a lot of times you have to use violence. But she said just that, but she didn't tell you what she did at that time. ”

Summer Night's curiosity was suddenly aroused: "Tell me about it?" ”

Chrissy looked down at the glass of water in her hand and pondered for a while before she spoke:

"Let me tell you one thing that still sticks out to me today. At that time, the 'Voyage Ship' had just beaten out many of its competitors and qualified to carry aether ramjet thrusters on its own ship for sea trials. But within two days, a company called 'Ether Whaling' came to the door and said that it wanted to invest in 'Voyage Leasing' and carry out 'all-round cooperation' with us.

"But in fact, 'Aether Whaling' was a very notorious company in the lower city at that time, and their favorite thing to do was to find high-quality small companies in the lower city, and then in the name of 'cooperation', they forcibly bought the other party, and if the other party firmly disagreed, they would send killers to kill one or two key people of the other party, so that the other party would not dare to resist anymore."

"But I remember that in Debussota, murder is not costless, you have to pay a lot of bail, or you will be sentenced, right?" Summer Night asked.

"But either way, the executor is 'aether exploration'." Chrisse explained, "Aether Whaling claims to be a subsidiary of Aether Exploration, so no one dares to mess with them despite their arrogance in Downtown, and they have never been punished for killing.

"Of course, we rejected the 'cooperation offer' of 'Ethereum Whaling', and many people know that most of the companies acquired by Aether Whaling will collapse in a short time. In Curran's opinion, what the other party really wanted was a trial qualification, which was a rarity in downtown at that time, and there were only five companies in total, and we were the smallest one.

"A few days after we explicitly refused, we received an ultimatum of 'Aether Whaling', and the other party said that we would be given three more days to seriously consider it, and if we still refused to buy it after three days, then some of our cups would be used by them to drink tea.

"After receiving the threat, many people in the company were very afraid, everyone thought that the 'Voyage Ship' was a small company that had just been established, and it was obviously impossible to compete with the behemoth of 'Aether Whalering', not to mention that the other party also had 'Aether exploration' as a backer, and even if we resisted, it would only be self-defeating. It's better to let the other party buy, everyone share a sum of money, and then find another way out.

"To be honest, even I was a little shaken at the time. The only one who insisted that the company could not be acquired was Curran. At that time, she said something that she would repeat many times later: 'I founded it single-handedly, and it is like my daughter, even if I die, I will not let it go out of business, let alone be acquired.' ’

"Later, she analyzed several of our core members that she thought that 'Aether Whaling' was bluffing, and that the other party might have a little insignificant connection with 'Aether Exploration', but 'Aether Exploration' was definitely not their backer. The evidence is that although the trial qualification was jointly issued by several large manufacturing plants such as Bafalia on the surface, in fact, the entire project of the Aether stamping propulsion was under the control of 'Aether exploration' from beginning to end. Still need to come and hit us with ideas?

Everyone thinks Curran has some point, but they still don't dare to take risks. Curran said that she had already thought of a countermeasure and was waiting for her good news. She took me along and took the initiative to find 'Aether Whaling', first let me state that even if there is a trial qualification, if there is no relevant technology, there will be many technical difficulties during the sea trial, and then, she is very sincere that she is willing to share the trial qualification with Aether Whaling, and is willing to provide all technical support for free, the only request is not to buy her company, if the Aether Whaling still insists, then even if she dies, she will have to pull a few backs.

"Three days later, the deadline for the ultimatum of Aether Whaling arrived, and we didn't agree to the other party's takeover request, but no one died. The representative of Aether Whaling came to our company, reprimanded us again in a very stern tone, and finally asked us to share the trial qualification immediately, and to put all the relevant technical information in order to them within three days, and as for the acquisition, because of Curran's intercession, out of 'mercy', they could postpone it for a while.

After the other party's representative left, the company was jubilant, and everyone praised Curran for his superb negotiation skills and success in keeping the company, but Curran always just smiled and did not answer.

"It wasn't until a few days later that we didn't know that for Curran, it was just beginning......"

"Aether whaling should not expose its weakness." Summer Night suddenly said, "And Curran saw it." ”

Chrissy was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, she nodded, "You're right, Lord Summer Night." Actually, I thought it was ...... Please don't be surprised...... You and Curran are the same kind of people, you are really alike. ”

"Curran and I are not the same kind of people." Summer Night said seriously, "It's just that we all happen to have the same opinion on this matter. ”

"Okay......" Chrissy didn't dwell on this point any longer, and she continued:

"Curran said the same thing to me, 'Aether whaling shouldn't reveal its weakness,' and I didn't understand what she meant at the time. But the next day, Curran suddenly returned to the company with a bloody cup.

"She told us that it was the cup of the chairman of Aether Whaling, and that she killed the other party with her own hands.

"And in the days that followed, the frenzied revenge we imagined from the 'Aether Whaling' did not come. Instead, a witch with a silver mask came to our company and said she wanted to meet Curran.

Curran received her in his office and poured him a cup of tea from the chairman of Aether Whaling. The two chatted for a long time, and no third person knew the specific content. When Curran sent the Mask Witch away, she told me that it was someone from the Aether Exploration Venture Group 7, and that the Venture Capital 7 had decided to divest from the Aether Whaling, and that it wouldn't be long before the Aether Whaling would be completely finished.

"I asked her, 'Will they buy us?'

"Curran shook his head and said, 'She did, but after I refused, she didn't insist on it, but only expressed her willingness to establish friendship with us.'" ”
