Seeing Vitas' look without any trace of brilliance and a face like rotten wood, Zhang Lisheng showed a rather sympathetic expression and asked, "What's wrong with you, Mr. Vitas?"

"I'm worried about my future, Your Excellency Li Sheng," as if there were many faces, and when they met different people and things, they put on different faces, and the middle-aged merchant replied honestly: "The loss of the caravan this time is too great, I, I..."

"But there is no way to meet the tsunami, it is already worth rejoicing if the entire fleet is not wiped out, not to mention that although the loss of cargo is severe, isn't there still the wood of Hell in the ballast, even if it is not worth the cost, I believe it will not lose much, it is the pension of those dead sailors and the sea ships, oh, the sea ships..."

"Yes, a sea ship," seeing that the young man thought of the key, Vitas said with a wry smile: "It is indeed powerless to encounter natural disasters in navigation, but someone must be responsible for such a big loss, isn't it..."

Before the Wuli tribe's first cross-sea expedition, Zhang Lisheng had gone to great lengths to get a nautical chart to the other islands of Hell to sneak into the 'Cataman', and even opened a trading house by chance.

However, with his current disguised identity, he couldn't help much in this matter, so he could only listen to Vitas quietly.

"I just need a chance to regroup, Your Excellency Li Sheng, I only need a chance, at most three or four years, or even two years to make up for the loss, but I'm afraid that the nobles behind me won't give me any chance anymore, unless, unless I have to come forward when trading..."

The middle-aged businessman's words are still meaningful. But Zhang Lisheng guessed that what he meant was nothing more than falling into a desperate situation, self-anesthetized and rushing to the doctor, trying to find a way out.

"I see, Mr. Vitas," the young man was not enthusiastic about the role of 'life-saving straw', but he was not particularly repulsive, looking at Vitas's longing gaze and smiling noncommittally, "I would say that the Wuli people on Scorpion Island only know you and Luqi's faces at the moment, and all the first transactions you serve as an important 'token'. ”

"Enough for Your Excellency Li Sheng, that's enough," the middle-aged businessman relaxed. Grabbing Zhang Lisheng's finger in a faux puff. Bent down deeply and kissed him on the fingers, "Thank you for your help, thank you so much." I will definitely repay your Excellency. I will definitely repay you..."

"Don't be so excited, Mr. Vitas. It's just a gesture for me. Hearing the businessman's voice choked, Zhang Lisheng thought about it and didn't immediately withdraw his palm. Say it casually.

"It may be a trivial thing for you, but it's a vital thing to me. After all, Vitas is a wealthy businessman who has been trained for a long time, so he quickly calmed down, let go of the young man's hand, and said in an extremely sincere tone: "Please come with me, I will arrange for you to stay in the best hotel in Heinheim City first, and there will be news to you tomorrow at the earliest." ”

"That's great. Knowing that in order to protect himself, Vitas will definitely do his best to get his wish as soon as possible, Zhang Lisheng nodded with satisfaction, followed the middle-aged businessman out of the alley, and stopped a rental carriage with a bright bronze plaque on the carriage with a number.

It is said that it is a carriage, but in fact, the animal pulling the cart is only similar to the horses on the earth, and the soles of the feet that are also staring at the farrier make a dense 'click...' crunch sound when galloping on the flat bluestone paved road;

The seats are clad in old black leather, the slightly cramped carriage carriages and the rows of low stone buildings and white-skinned pedestrians shrouded in mist outside the windows make you feel as if you have stepped back in time to the streets of medieval Europe.

The carriage galloped through the small part of the city, turned left and right on the stone pavement, and slowly stopped in front of a chic hotel.

The inn covers an area of about thirty to forty meters long and forty meters high, and the exterior walls are covered with pothos, leaving only a wide, heavy mahogany door, flanked by two bowing statues of acolytes, and in the middle is a golden motto, 'Guest, just tell you to get what you want'.

As soon as he stopped, Zhang Lisheng jumped out of the carriage quickly, and Vitas, who got off the carriage after him, pointed to the proverb on the wooden door and said flatteringly: "Pothos Hotel, you can enjoy the courtesy of a king when you live here." ”

"The most wonderful enjoyment does not come from a life of luxury, but from the barefoot of the soul. Zhang Lisheng pretended to smile deeply, stepped forward, and walked into the hotel.

He was carrying a barefoot gold nugget on his body, and he was not afraid that the accommodation would be expensive, but before the young man could enter the door and stand firmly, a waiter greeted him and called out Vitas' name, "Mr. Vitas, welcome back smoothly, and thank you for taking such good care of the business of 'pothos' and bringing distinguished guests." ”

"Pushira, my return is not going well. The middle-aged merchant looked at the familiar waiter and shook his head in a low voice, then perked up, pointed at Zhang Lisheng and said, "But you are right about one thing, the guests I brought this time are really respectable and very knowledgeable.

Give him the best room, the best service, and all the expenses are recorded in the account of the 'Golden Velvet Flower Firm'. ”

"Yes, Mr. Vitas. The waiter cleverly saw the unswerving emotion hidden under Vitas's smile, replied without saying much, turned his gaze to Zhang Lisheng, and said politely, "Please follow me, sir." ”

"It's good. The young man nodded and glanced at Vitas, "Last night's tsunami actually exhausted me, I'll go rest first, and then see Mr. Vitas, waiting for your good news." ”

"Goodbye, Your Excellency Li Sheng, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to make your wish come true. The middle-aged merchant said in a resolute tone, turned around and strode out of the hotel, while Zhang Lisheng followed behind the waiter, stepping on the soft cork floor, and walked towards the second floor.

In the days that followed, the young man stayed in a gorgeous room on the second floor of the Pothos Hotel, and even chose to let the waiter deliver the meal, for fear that he would be delayed by himself if he had news, but after waiting for four or five days, Vitas was nowhere to be found.

Thinking that Vitas's situation might not be good, and it was not a way to wait so boredly, the young man left his room for the first time in several days.

Walking down the corridor to the first floor, where the walls were covered with beige wallpaper and occasionally hung with small oil paintings depicting coastal scenery, he was surprised to find that Puhira, who had been serving him since the first day of staying at the hotel, immediately appeared in front of him, smiled and asked, "Good morning, Your Excellency Li Sheng, what can I do for you?"

"It's really thoughtful service, it seems that Mr. Vitas's gold coins are not in vain. The young man replied as he had expected, "I do need your help, Pushira."

I'm going to take a walk around the city in a while, get acquainted with this beautiful city, and I'm afraid it won't be until the afternoon when I come back, Vitas, no, if someone comes to me, ask him to come later, or leave an address for me to return. ”

"Good sir. Puhira bowed and spoke. The wooden door of the inn was pushed open, and two tall warriors, dressed in leather armor and carrying swords at their waists, strode in, followed by a woman in a light blue hunting suit, a round hat with black fine gauze hanging from the front, and a small incense fan in her hand.

The woman, accompanied by her personal maid, strolled to the hotel counter, closed the incense fan, and instructed the waitress directly: "I will find a guest named Zhang Lisheng and take me to meet her." Listening to the voice should not be very old.

"May I ask you for something about me?" Looking at the commanding young woman not far away, Zhang Lisheng had already vaguely guessed the identity of the visitor in his heart, but he still asked.

"You are Mr. Zhang Lisheng," the woman looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw a black-haired young man with a ruddy and shiny face and full of energy looking at her, walking forward with elegant steps, nodding and greeting: "I am Yaji Mixint, you can call me Yaji, from the 'Golden Velvet Flower Company'." ”.

"Sure enough," Zhang Lisheng sighed in a low voice as if he had no intention of hiding his emotions, "How is Vitas?"

"He's probably sunk into Gonzhas Bay now, and he's become food for the trout. Yaji opened the incense fan with a 'snap', and suddenly attached a probe to the young man's ear, covered his mouth with the fan, and whispered with a smile.

"Just because of a few cargo ships?" Zhang Lisheng said in astonishment when he heard that what happened to poor Vitas in the past few days was even more miserable than expected.

"No, it's because of deception," the woman said with a smile, "as long as the loss of property is not deliberate, dismissal is the greatest punishment, but deception is unforgivable." ”

"If you're so honest, you shouldn't be a businessman. Zhang Lisheng said sarcastically, turned around and walked upstairs, "Let's go to the guest room to talk, Ms. Yaji, I think we need to fully communicate." ”

"Wonderful Mr. Li Sheng, although I am a lady, I like to talk to strange people. ”

"Lady Yaji, the 'firm' you belong to made me wait for five more days, and you are still more ladylike when you intimidate me as soon as we meet, and I have become a weird person with just one sarcastic sentence, don't you think it's too much?"

"Mr. Li Sheng, you are a very smart, proud and conceited man," Ya Ji was stunned for a moment, shook her head with a dumb smile and said, "Such a character can easily make you successful, but it is also easy for you to fall into the abyss." ”

While speaking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the guest room, Zhang Lisheng took out the copper key and opened the door lock, pushed open the door, and smiled faintly, "I think my personality is just the opposite of what you said, be cautious and careful."

Alright ma'am, let's get down to business and stop wasting each other's time, okay. (To be continued......)
