Chapter Seventy-Four: Undressing
We're out of money!
Early in the morning, Lin Taiping, who had just woken up to the singing of the minotaurs, got a terrible bad news before he could push away the night song that was secretly climbing into bed.
"Yes, boss, we have no money. Christine took a large pile of accounts and sighed with a depressed face, "Recently, the price of paper and ink has been rising, and the damn pirates are attacking merchant ships like crazy again, plus Tulu is eating more and more, and the expenses of a dozen or so of my sisters for milk powder diapers ......"
"Stop!" Lin Taiping raised his hand with a headache, directly interrupting Christine's resentment, "I know all these things, but if I'm not mistaken, it seems that we still have a surplus of a few thousand gold coins on our books, at least it can support it for a while." ”
"Well, that's right. Christine coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said, "The problem is, when we passed by the orphanage yesterday, we saw that the orphanage had collapsed in the fire, and those poor children were shivering in the cold wind, so the boss said......"
"Really, I've done this kind of thing?" Lin Taiping began to feel that his head hurt even more, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the night song beside him.
"Yes, you did. Nightsong blinked sympathetically, "Because Christine was looking sad at the time, and you were going to trick her into bed, dear, it was impulsive, understandable, completely understandable." ”
Well, because of her words, the atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became very eerie, and Christine raised her head with a flushed face, so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands, and she didn't even have the courage to look at a guy more.
It's just this time. Night Song was still there desperately protesting: "However, I want to express my solemn protest. Dear Lin, why did you never intend to trick me into bed. An ignorant girl like me is better to deceive, you don't need a few thousand gold coins, just a lollipop. ”
"Lollipops are very expensive, okay?" Lin Taiping coughed lightly and changed the topic nonsense, "Okay, that means that if we don't make money in the short term, we won't even be able to print the evening newspaper?"
This question is redundant. Christine and Nightsong looked at each other, then looked at him with wide eyes, as if waiting for him to cast some kind of magic from stone to gold, and poured out a large pile of gold coins directly from her pocket.
What can I say, being horrified by the two pairs of beautiful eyes, Lin Taiping finally raised his hand and surrendered with an innocent face: "I understand, since this is the case, that plan can only be carried out early...... Prepare the wagon, and we'll set off now. Go visit that Mr. Kinkdo. ”
Christine hadn't come to her senses until she had already gotten into the carriage when she let out a stupid sigh, "Wait, boss, you said Mr. Kimkodo." Could it be the famous jeweler?"
"That's right, that's right. Lin Taiping looked at the commercial street outside the car window, and several luxury jewelry stores passed along the way. It seems to be the personal property of Mr. Kinkdo," it is said. That guy is an old friend of your father's, and he's so poor that he only has money left. I don't think he would mind helping us poor. ”
"Uh......" Christine opened her mouth speechlessly, but finally couldn't help but sigh, "Boss, you may not know much about Mr. Jinkodo, yes, he is indeed an old friend of my father, and he is also enviably rich, but to be honest, it is more difficult to take a copper coin out of his pocket than to ascend to the sky." ”
"Really?" Lin Taiping turned his head with a smile and asked, "Could it be that that guy is stingy?"
"It's not stinginess, it's stinginess, stinginess in stinginess. Christine couldn't help muttering to herself, she really didn't know how to describe her father's friend, "Let's put it this way, whoever goes to him to borrow money, his first sentence will always be—"
"I've been very poor lately, very poor, very, very, very poor!"
Half an hour later, in the gorgeous living room of Mr. Kinkodo's house, Mr. Kinkodo, who was as fat as a mountain, had a sad face and shook his head depressedly: "Dear Christine, I really want to help you, but I have been really poor, very poor, very, very, very ...... lately."
Lin Taiping and Christine glanced at each other and couldn't help but roll their eyes desperately.
Look at this spacious living room, which is larger than the entire garden of a middle-class aristocratic house, look at the oriental celadon teacups on the coffee table, one of which can buy a small shop, and the diamond ring on your old man's left hand, which is set with a large diamond, almost the size of a pigeon's egg, so shiny that it can blind a person......
If this is called poverty, then a guy like us, who only has a few dozen gold coins in his pocket, can't he go straight to play the Congolese refugees in Africa?
But the problem is that Mr. Jinkedo's skin is as thick as fat, so in the face of everyone's disdainful eyes, he can still continue to complain without blushing and heartbeat: "No way, business has been very difficult recently, and I have a big business and a big expense here, although logically speaking, I should really help Christine, but ......"
I had expected this to be the case, and Christine was not too disappointed, and stood up silently.
However, at this time, Lin Taiping next to him suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Jin Keduo, I think you may have misunderstood, we are not here to ask you for money, we are just here to discuss cooperation." ”
"Cooperation?" Mr. Jin Keduo was slightly stunned, he couldn't see at all that this Oriental, who was about to go bankrupt, had any qualifications to talk about the word cooperation.
"That's right, cooperation. Lin Taiping habitually picked up the teacup, and then he suddenly found that the other party didn't pour him tea at all, "Uh, in fact, I have a plan, maybe we can ......"
"Yes, yes. Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Jinkodo nodded with a smile on his face, "It's good that young people have plans, but I'm really busy right now, maybe you can come back next time, or maybe talk to my butler first...... Philip, don't be stunned, help me see off the guests. ”
In this way, Lin Taiping was not given a chance to speak at all, and the rich man was playing haha while propping up his fat and bloated body. With the support of a few maids, he left slowly.
Immediately afterward, several servants next to him immediately gathered around. Polite but cold and ruthless direct send-off, judging by their attitude. Obviously, he regarded Lin Taiping as the kind of guy who came to cheat money under the guise of going to the door.
"Uh, do I look like a liar?" Lin Taiping touched his chin speechlessly, "Mr. Jin Keduo, are you sure you don't listen to my plan first, it will only take a few minutes." ”
"I'd love to hear it, but I'm really busy. Jin Keduo, who had already walked to the door of the living room, turned around slowly, and the fat on his face was shaking, "There is a chance." There's always a chance, when I'm not so busy, let's sit down and talk slowly, slowly......"
Well, slowly, he left quickly, and disappeared into the corridor in a blink of an eye, and when the breeze blew gently, he could still be faintly heard muttering: "Plan?" A young man who is about to go bankrupt wants to talk to me about a plan, do you know how much money I will lose if I delay for one more minute?"
Damn! Lin Taiping and Christine didn't react yet, but the night song that came after them couldn't help but grit their teeth. Suddenly, there was an urge to pull out the mace and follow it, and directly stun the dead fat miser, and ransack the place by the way.
"Ah. Ah. Lin Taiping patted her fragrant shoulder, stopping the dark elf royal sister from going berserk. "It doesn't matter, it may not take a few days. This Mr. Jin Kedo will take the initiative to send us money, and when the time comes, you can knock him hard. “
No kidding!Nightsong couldn't help but roll her eyes desperately, even Christine couldn't believe it, the miser was so stingy that she expected him to come and deliver the money than to expect the Marquis of Grande to choke to death while eating.
"Not necessarily. Lin Taiping walked out of the gate and turned his head to look at the buildings on the side of the road, "But now, I need your help with Yege...... Well, have you seen that hotel, how about we talk about our dreams in life?"
Yege turned his head in confusion, looked at the hotel on the side of the road, and then immediately thought crookedly: "Woo woo, it's not easy, dear, have you finally figured it out?"
The next moment, completely ignoring Christine next to her, she pulled Lin Taiping up with a fanatical face, rushed into the hotel with the speed of the wind, and then flew up directly and slammed the door, completely ignoring the stunned innkeeper.
Do...... What the hell?
Christine ate a closed door, and heard the fire of gossip burning outside, but she couldn't get in, so she could only scratch the door very depressedly there.
In the room with the door closed, I don't know what is going on, but I vaguely hear the strange conversation between two people, which is sounding from time to time.
"Very well, dear Night Song, please take off your clothes...... Uh, I mean the outerwear. ”
"Uh-huh, I'm ready, honey, what pose do you prefer?"
"Well, I like you to lean on the bed, spill your long hair, unbutton two buttons, and then coil your long legs a little ......"
"No problem, and then, do you want me to cooperate and shout a few words for help?"
In this way, the strange sound coming from the room, I don't know how long, poor Christine leaned against the crack in the door, and was dumbfounded and completely speechless, according to her understanding of Lin Taiping, it was certain that it was definitely not giving birth, but the question was that if it was not giving birth, what was it doing?
In the end, even the innkeeper couldn't help but be curious, and she came up to eavesdrop on it with the same feeling, and collected the room fee or something by the way.
After a long silence, the door was suddenly creaked open, and the two eavesdroppers were not prepared at all, and immediately rolled in with an exclamation, and Christine immediately raised her hand with a flushed face, and defended loudly: "What, I didn't mean it, I just happened to pass by." ”
"Yes, yes, you happened to be passing by. Lin Taiping tidied up his collar and walked out of the room, on the big bed behind him, Yege was still lazy and charming leaning on the big bed, her face flushed, her eyes fluttering, and her breath was like an orchid.
"Uh, boss, should you really ......" Christine suddenly felt sour in her heart, like the can of milk powder she wanted to buy the most, and it was suddenly snatched away by someone else.
"Besides, I'm dying of exhaustion. Lin Taiping sighed with emotion, and then before Christine was inexplicably angry, he directly handed over a thing-
"Take it, you must put it away, it's related to whether we eat or drink porridge next......" (To be continued......
