Tonight's internal meeting is about the development of the valley and the future of everyone, so even Achena, who has a lot of opinions about Ashley, is listening carefully.

"How do you achieve what you call limited openness?" Madame asked.

Ashley gave her a reassuring look, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." ”

Then he pulled out a stack of papers from his carry-on bag and distributed them to everyone.

"First of all, I would like to express my approval of Mrs. Achina's status as the head of the local village and her status as a clear and officially recognized person."

"We live in a modern society with advanced technology, not an ancient time with closed information."

"It's unrealistic to want to be completely isolated from the rest of the world, to hide your whereabouts."

"What's more, the location of the valley is in Europe, one of the most densely populated areas in the world today, rather than an inaccessible desert or rainforest."

"No matter how deep you hide, there will be a day when you will be discovered."

"Instead of passively waiting for that day to come, we should take the initiative to embrace the world."

"Let them see, what we want them to see."

Ashley paused here, picked up the juice on the table and moistened her throat, then sat down on the arm of the couch beside Leon.

"The document I just gave you clearly states the administrative division and regional structure of the area where the valley is located, as well as some official information that may be related to the valley, such as local councillors, administrators, forest police, and so on."

"After getting them, the valley can't be said to be once and for all in the future, and it can be called peace of mind."

"It doesn't even matter if you go overboard."

It can only be said that Ashley is worthy of being the daughter of the former president, with family roots and a habit of solving problems from a political point of view.

And the method she said is in line with Leon's psychological expectations.

With Li Ang's current strength, he has long been unable to threaten him at the personal level, and what he needs to worry about most is the pressure from another aspect.

While the crowd pondered, Daniela snapped back: "You mean let's find a way to bribe the politicians?" ”

Ashley put down the cup in her hand and objected, "No, no, no, it's not a bribe." ”

"Bribing officials is a felony in any country, but we are good law-abiding citizens."

"What we're going to do is make political donations, bundles of interests, or whatever, in short, it's not bribery, and that's something to remember."

The third lady suddenly realized: "Understood, Yankee's usual methods." ”

As a Yankee, Ashley did not get angry, but smiled herself: "My suggestion is to set up a company in the name of the valley, it doesn't matter who the boss is, it doesn't matter where the company is, and it doesn't matter what business it does, the important thing is that we pay enough taxes, hire enough employees, and form our own interest umbrella." ”

"When the time comes, even if the secrets of the valley are discovered, someone will take the initiative to help us solve them."

Archyna nodded thoughtfully, Ashley's plan was indeed much better than the simple closure or opening of her and the Duke before.

At this time, the eldest lady who had listened for a long time finally found a plan to speak, and proposed: "The name of the umbrella is good, why don't you call the name of the company this." ”

Leon, who was eating fruit on the other side, almost choked himself to death when he heard this.

Good fellow, Ambrera is reincarnated!

The eldest lady frowned and asked puzzledly, "What, is there a problem with this name?" ”

Ashley explains: "Umbrella is an American company, a giant in biomedicine and many other fields, but it went bankrupt more than a decade ago. ”

(The Umbrella went bankrupt in 2004 and was later restructured into the private military company Blue Umbrella)

When Bella heard that the company was bankrupt, she immediately lost interest: "Then this name is unlucky, let's change it." ”

She hadn't left the valley since she was born and didn't know much about the outside world, so she had no idea that there was a well-known umbrella company out there.

Li Ang couldn't help but quipped: "Don't just think about playing all day long, the times have changed." ”

"I didn't hear Ashley just say that you have to embrace the world and can't rest on your laurels."

His words made Bella feel a little ashamed, so she glared and warned, "Shut up! ”

As soon as the words fell, the eldest lady had already pounced and rode on her husband to move her hands and feet: "You dare to dislike me, I will bite you to death!" ”

Leon grabbed her two small hands that were moving around: "Absolutely not, I just think. You should take the time to take you on a trip so that you can see more of the world. ”

"Travel!" Everyone spoke in unison.

Bella stopped moving, and Achena's expression was stunned, and even Ashley looked at him in surprise.

Daniela stood up even more excitedly, having seen the bustle outside, she had long wanted to go out again.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, where are you going to travel, when are you leaving, can you take me with you?"

Among all the people present, only the second lady looked as usual, because she was not interested in traveling, and it was better to read more books and learn more prayers if she had this time.

Li Ang saw everyone's reaction in his eyes and said unhurriedly:

"If you want to travel, of course, the whole family will go, and you won't leave any of them behind, but it will take a while to wait for everyone to finish their work."

"And I'll have to think about where to go."

He definitely couldn't leave the valley right now because of the air wall, but he was prepared.

Miranda's consciousness shift + Donna's puppet production.

Get a clone out, you can't be restricted anymore.

Of course, it is not enough to be a clone, and he will also actively look for ways to break the air wall in the subsequent world shuttle.

When Daniela heard that she would have to wait a while before she could get out, she immediately sat back down in her place in frustration:

"Brother-in-law, don't take it out if you are not sure in the future, okay, let people be happy in vain."

Leon didn't take it seriously, but Archyna shook it off with a stern look.

"How can you talk to your brother-in-law, go out and lie down with ambitions, right? If you want to leave, you can leave now, no one will care about you! ”

Madame is usually very indulgent to her daughters, but when it comes to principles, the family education is still very strict.

Daniela's lips moved and she didn't speak, sulking in the couch.

This scene was seen by Ashley, and the impression of Mrs. in her heart changed a lot.

It seems that this big woman is not an unreasonable village fool as imagined.

"Lady Archina, discourage, we can talk about the trip in private, let's get down to business."

Leon looked at Ashley in surprise, she would actually take the initiative to reconcile her relationship with Achena, it was really the sun coming out in the west.

Achena was also surprised, so she also released kindness: "Miss Ashley, I personally like your plan very much, please continue." ”

"Thank you for your affirmation of me." Ashley smiled, "Then I'll move on." ”

"As mentioned earlier, I agree that each of you will be given a legal status on the surface, but it is not enough."

"Please turn to the last page of the document."

With the sound of turning the page, the president's daughter stood up again: "Allow me to solemnly introduce to you that standing before you is the new councillor of Valle Town: Ashley Graham. ”

The news that Ashley had become a local councillor was more shocking than Leon was going to take everyone on a trip.

And the last page of the document does state that the valley was expanded into a town, and she was appointed as the first town councilor, and at the same time Achina was promoted to mayor.

Even the three sisters have their own positions, Bella is the town sheriff, Daniela is the assistant to the town mayor, and Kassandra is the non-existent town librarian.

Including Donna, who didn't come today, is a petty official.

Only the duke, out of various considerations, still maintained his original identity, an honest and trustworthy good businessman.

(The author doesn't know much about foreign polities, so he almost knows what it means)

"What about me?" Leon looked at the documents for a long time, but couldn't find his name.

"You? I'll take a look," Ashley pretended to look through the papers, "Oh, I remember, you should be able to find your name in the Spouse section of this Councilmember's identity information." ”

Leon took a closer look, and it was really.

At this time, Bella was not happy, and asked angrily: "Why are you, I am his wife!" And you, an American, how can you be a congressman in this country! ”

Ashley looked calm and said with a smile: "You said you are husband and wife, what is the evidence?" ”

"I checked all the official information related to marriage in the local area, and I didn't find any information about the two of you, so the reality is that you only had a wedding, but you didn't get married."

"Also, don't you know that Romania recognizes dual citizenship?"

"I love this country very much and want to make it better, so with the help of my parents' meager influence, I successfully became a naturalized citizen, plus I have a lot of prestige among the local people, so everyone elected me as a councillor, and the whole process is reasonable and legal, and there are no irregularities."

At this moment, the seemingly docile and modest American sweetheart showed her sharp fangs.

In a victorious manner, he condescendingly asked, "Does Miss Bella have any other questions?" I can answer them all for you. ”

It's a good trick to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and it directly makes the eldest lady angry and crying.

"Ahhhh!!h

In fact, Bella has always had a bad sense of Ashley, because as the only partner who has ever held a wedding with Leon, her status is transcendent, and even her mother Achena can't compare to her mother in this regard, so she doesn't feel that Ashley is a threat at all.

But now, the undefeated golden body has been destroyed.

If it weren't for Leon's presence, she would have done it.

The eldest lady here was crying, and Achina was even more furious over there, and the little affection she had just raised for Ashley disappeared in an instant, and sharp claws grew from her fingertips, ready to stand up for her daughter.

The other two sisters were also bitter against each other, and their sharp iron hooks were in their hands, as if they would hang Ashley up and drain her blood at the slightest order from her mother.

The atmosphere in the living room was extremely cold in an instant.

"Sit down." While coaxing Bella in his arms, Leon said to everyone in an unquestioning tone, "I'll let you sit down first." ”

He actually felt that Ashley had gone too far, but he was willing to give Ashley a chance to explain.

When the disgruntled mother and daughter of the Ti family sat back in their seats, Leon looked at Ashley.

"Tell me why you're doing this."

Ashley had anticipated the current situation and stated it in a clear and coherent manner:

"First, partnering with a local local will help me, as a newly naturalized MP, to do my job better and reduce the resentment of the people."

"Second, although my spouse's column has Leon's name written on it, similar to Miss Bella, there is no specific legal document to prove that we are husband and wife."

Under the words and deeds of the president's father, Ashley knew that she could not do everything.

Issuing a marriage certificate, just a piece of paper, is easy for her to do.

But if she really does this, it will lead to a complete deterioration in the relationship with the mother and daughter of the Di family, and even Li Ang will have opinions about her.

Ashley simply wanted to elevate herself to the same level as Bella first.

Otherwise, she is an outsider, and she is weak, so why should she fight against the mother and daughter of the Di family, who are too crowded.

She wasn't as open-minded as Donna, and since she was determined to stay with Leon, she had to separate herself from the women.

If Leon is king, she Ashley will be a noble, high queen!

At this time, the eldest lady didn't know that the American sweetheart was planning to seize the position of the eldest lady of the main palace, but because of her explanation, she was a lot less angry.

But he still sobbed and shrunk in his lover's arms, unwilling to leave.

Bella, who has always been fearless, was really scared this time.

Li Ang caressed her back, comforting her and bringing the incident to an end.

"Ashley, I understand your actions, but I don't approve of them."

"Hopefully there won't be a next time."

He said it seriously, and Ashley replied seriously: "Got it." ”

Then, Leon turned to Archyna and the two sisters: "For the sake of her for the sake of the reason, don't be angry, how about I find a way to compensate you for her?" ”

The two sisters waited for their mother's answer, and Archyna sneered: "Hmph, you have spoken, how dare we have any opinions." ”

"Besides, it doesn't matter if we're angry or not, it depends on what Bella thinks."

Bella hurriedly said: "I listen to Leon." ”

Hearing this, Archyna immediately looked at her eldest daughter with an expression of hatred.

She wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Ashley, but this is a good thing, and her uneasy daughter directly handed over the initiative to others.

"Forget it, I don't care, you can do it yourself."

Madame leaned helplessly on the couch and pressed her temples with a headache.

The mother died down, and the two sisters naturally had no reason to make trouble, and they hugged their arms one by one, their faces full of depression.

After settling the side of the mother and daughter of the Di family, Leon once again turned his gaze to Ashley.

Ashley understood, squatted in front of Bella, and took her hand: "I'm sorry, Sister Bella, I made the decision without your consent, I beg you to forgive me." ”

Bella's personality is innocent if it sounds good, but if it doesn't sound good, it's stupid and sweet with a poisonous mouth and a soft heart.

Just a sentence of 'sister' was enough to make her forget the unpleasantness before.

Besides, Leon is still watching, isn't he?

"Well, for the sake of your sincere apology to me, I will reluctantly forgive you this time."

Successfully surviving the crisis, Leon quickly brought the topic back to normal: "Regarding the creation of the company, Ashley, you can wait for the Duke to come back and discuss the details with him." ”

"You can decide the name and address of the company, but I have some ideas about the scope of business."

"Have you heard of Mewtwo?"

Achena and Leon had been staying for a long time and had already known his temperament and temperament, and urged unceremoniously: "Don't sell it, let's say, what do you want to do?" ”

Li Ang hehehe: "I plan to go out and buy some goods later." ”

Archina was a little unhappy when she heard this: "How long have you been back and going out again, can't the family accommodate you?" ”

Daniela became interested: "Brother-in-law, where are you going, can you take me with me?" ”

"Nope." Li Ang simply rejected the third lady's request, and then explained to his wife: "That's why I said for a while. ”

"I said that I thought so, you can see if it is feasible."

"In the beginning, our company mainly sold red wine from the Dimitrescu family, and after gaining a foothold, we moved on to the medical field, such as various drugs and medical devices."

"Medical?" The crowd was confused.

Ashley asked directly: "Mrs. Archyna's red wine is quite popular in the market, I know, but how did you connect it to medical treatment?" ”

Leon smiled meaningfully: "What if I say that drinking our family's red wine can cure chronic diseases and even prolong life?" ”

Ashley seemed to understand something: "You're planning to add a virus to the wine!" ”

Unexpectedly, Li Ang denied: "How could it be! I'm not a careerist trying to spread the virus and control the whole world. ”

"Something will definitely be added, but not a virus, but another healthy, completely harmless substance."

As he spoke, Leon took out several elixir chalice bottles: "Taste it." ”

There aren't many elixir bottles in the Ring World, but there are definitely a lot of them, at least Fen Lei told him that there are a lot of these things in the Sacred Tree.

As long as different crystalline droplets are added, various effects of elixir will be produced.

(Elixir vials and red and blue chalice vials are not the same thing)

Before Leon left the junction, he scavenged almost all the crystalline dew droplets that could be seen on the market and stored them all in the Great Blessing.

For example, the largest number of red crystal droplets can be used to create drugs that restore blood volume.

Another example is the green crystal dew droplet, which can restore physical strength.

The elixir is diluted and added to the red wine in proportion, and a top-notch wine with extraordinary effects is born.

"Don't drink too much, it's easy to fall asleep at night if you drink too much."

Under Leon's reminder, Achena and the others each picked up an elixir bottle and took a sip.

"It's weird, I feel like I'm in a hot spring."

"That's right! And after drinking this, I immediately stopped being sleepy, and I was full of strength! ”

"It's amazing!"

The girls talked about their feelings, but Ashley's eyes were slightly resentful.

"Why didn't you take out this kind of good stuff earlier?"

"As long as I use my parents' relationship to put these elixirs in front of dignitaries and wealthy businessmen from all over the world, we will be their guests in the future."

"Not to mention a few virus-infected people hiding in the valley, even if there are a few aliens, they won't care."

"It's a shame that I've put so much effort into making plans, I'm really going to be by you!"
