Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 949: Dedicated to Business

Before going to room 302 to see Ms. Anne, Daniel went to the bathroom in the ballroom.

He planned to wash his face and tidy up his clothes before going to see his muse, so that his situation would not look so bad.

The problem is, I don't know what happened tonight.

Even though he buried his entire face deeply into the marble sink filled with water, he still felt dizzy in his head under the stimulation of the cold water.

For this reason, he could only blame everything on his addiction to sex and alcoholism in the recent period.

As a result, my diet and rest were irregular, which made my physical fitness worse. Otherwise, if it were a normal day, a large bottle of rum would never make me drunk like this.

I was worried that if Ms. Anne was made to wait too long, the goddess might be unhappy.

Daniel could only wipe off the water droplets on his hands and face, and with his head still feeling dizzy, he tried his best to avoid other people's eyes and attention until he reached the third floor.

It's just that after he pushed open the door of 302, his head became dizzy instantly.

Because she was sitting upright in a white skirt, looking like an angel, Miss Anne rushed over to him the moment he opened the door and came in.

Just when she was about to throw herself into his arms, she forcibly stopped herself.

With a look of concern, he sighed in a sad tone: "Daniel, my poor Daniel, why are you so haggard?

Don't you know that although I haven't confided my feelings to you, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will help you?
  Don't worry, I will return the money to Qingbang for you early tomorrow morning. You will be fine. "

At this moment, Daniel felt like he had completely gone from hell to heaven; he no longer had to die, and finally got the favor of the goddess, which was something he had never dreamed of before.

Praise Brother Su! Is there anything more beautiful than this in this world?

However, as a man, his pride made him want to be a little more polite and reserved.

But just when he opened his mouth to say something, 'How can I use your money' or 'I can do it myself', the angelic Ms. Anne stretched out a finger and put it on Daniel's mouth. .

After Daniel felt the cold and delicate touch on his lips, which was like the finest oriental porcelain, the last bit of politeness in his mouth was blocked.

Then suddenly, the candles in the room went out, making the environment immediately dark.

At the same time, a voice sounded in Daniel's ear:
  "I'm sorry Honey, I haven't taken the initiative to express my feelings to you. In fact, I had no choice but to do so; that's because I promised my deceased husband's family that I would never find a lover or remarry.

Otherwise, I will lose all my current wealth.

So, let us just have tonight and pretend that nothing happened from now on, okay? "

Under such a statement, Daniel finally realized why he was facing such a passionate and excellent suitor.

Ms. Anne has never had any ambiguous relationship with anyone.

Even though the number of suitors for this rich widow in the Magic City was astonishing, in just this month alone, several gentlemen had dueled.

Then, before he could think too much, he was overwhelmed by great happiness.

well! In order to develop some licking dogs and then let those licking dogs work for her wholeheartedly, is the imperial concubine going to play such a big role? Of course not.

Not to mention that guy Hu Biao, the imperial concubine would never do such a thing, what kind of reaction she would have if she found out.

She has been a little irritable and angry lately, so much so that she has pimples on her face.

But she never thought about doing anything to regret Hu Biao; this has nothing to do with the usual situation between her and her familiar teammates.

And when the imperial concubine came out of room 302 with a look of disgust on her face.

When she closed the door to the room, the movement that had just started was still going on, which meant that the woman inside was definitely not her.

To be more specific, the mysterious client in the business that led to Daniel's bankruptcy was actually arranged by the pretty boy to contact him.
  His warehouse and the batch of goods were also burned down by Yun Qing himself.

What Daniel didn't even know was that the reason why the bank he borrowed money from was so eager to collect the loan from him was inseparable from the fueling of the bank manager's daughter.

All of this is to enable him to borrow money from people in the Qing Gang when he is desperate.

Otherwise, with the gambling level of this rookie, can he really win money every time in Deyuelou?
  In the end, this guy will go bankrupt and owe a lot of debt. When life is the most gloomy and desperate, the imperial concubine can appear like an angel and save him.

As for everything that happened in the room, why did Daniel mistake the person for a noble concubine?
  Don't forget that some powder was put into Daniel's wine glass some time ago; in fact, those things were hallucinogens extracted from some duck slices.

Daniel needs to drink these things in advance.

That was during the mission in the Xiangyang dungeon of the Great Song Dynasty. Didn't the team obtain the soul-stirring technique in the "Nine Yin Manual", a technique similar to hypnosis?

Many people in the team have seen this thing and tried to practice it, but only the imperial concubine has a little bit of practice.

Why is it said to be one o'clock? Under normal circumstances, she couldn't hypnotize anyone; but with some hallucinogens, she could achieve a pretty good effect.

So now in room 302, the muse that Daniel thought he was having sex with, Ms. Anne, was actually a Sikh maid who was originally engaged in laundry, cleaning and other sanitation work in the hotel.

The kind who is in his forties, with dark skin, a height of [-] meters, a waist circumference of [-] meters, and a weight of almost [-] kilograms.

She was very happy to have such a thing happen. Not only did she not have to pay for it, she was even willing to pay a little back.

In short, from beginning to end, Daniel never even touched a finger of the imperial concubine; everything was just an illusion.

But this does not affect it at all. This Dutchman will bury everything that happened tonight in his heart; occasionally taking it out to recall, he will work for the imperial concubine wholeheartedly...

As if she had done something trivial, the imperial concubine returned to her office.

After getting ready to touch up her makeup a little, she started to patrol her Deyue Tower just like a lion patrolling its territory.

Currently, there are many service projects such as ballrooms, duplexes, restaurants, guest rooms, etc.

As a result, as soon as I put on my makeup, there was a knock on the office door, and at the same time a voice sounded: "Sir, it's me, Song Jie~"

Because the owner of the voice, Song Jie, was transferred from Shuiwei, and became an absolutely trustworthy subordinate, the imperial concubine immediately said: "Come in~"

When the man in his thirties opened the door and came in, he opened his mouth with good news:

"Ms. Anne, Zhang Fuhai and the others have just returned from the capital. They said that they not only found Mr. Hu Yitong and the others, but also brought back a reply and some things."

After finishing speaking, he took out a letter and a wooden box sealed tightly with fire paint from the bundle behind him.

He added another sentence: "Zhang Fuhai said that leader Hu Yitong can give an explanation.

That letter was written to the four adults, but the contents in the box belong to you alone, and others must not open it.

Please check, adults, whether the paint is intact. "

After checking that the paint on the box was intact, the man said goodbye and left.

Although the imperial concubine was quite curious about what Hu Biao had mysteriously brought to her, she still translated the letter first because of the team's official business.

Because there were a lot of words in that letter, it took a while to translate them all.

Fortunately, the large number of words also allowed the imperial concubine to clearly know what the first phase of Hu Biao's mission was, which should be completed immediately, as well as some analysis and plans for this system mission.

As well as some suggestions for the side tasks of the four of them.

Among these suggestions, there was one that asked Lang Qing to quickly make a wireless telegraph machine.

Otherwise, the communication method between the two parties, which requires messengers to go back and forth for at least half a month, would be too frustrating. Other suggestions also require some adjustments to the follow-up plans of the four noble concubines.

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine will summon Xiao Bailian, Lang Qing, Yun Qing and other three people, and let them read the letter so that they can hold a meeting between the four of them.

It was only when she got up that the girl reacted.

The four of them are responsible for a large amount of things respectively, and now they are all extremely busy; except for her who stays in Deyue Building to take charge, the remaining three have long since disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, no matter how busy they are, the four of them get together for breakfast every day.

Taking advantage of this little gap, I would like to report some of my respective work progress so that everyone can be aware of it.

Therefore, there is really no rush for such a matter. We can really wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it.

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine finally had the intention to see what that bitch Hu Biao had brought to her mysteriously.

Three minutes later, the imperial concubine threw a toy in her hand that was carved from fine huanghuali wood, hard, smooth, and had a light fragrance, like rubbish.

With a mixture of laughter and tears in his mouth, he cursed:
  "What's going on in this grandson's head? Am I such a person who can't hold it back?
  But then again, this guy's carving skills are quite good, and he has a bit of the same style as his own; it's even a bifurcated, two-stranded one.

What's this called? Increase the quantity without increasing the price, and the happiness will be doubled~”

After scolding, the imperial concubine walked out of the office; but soon she ran back, picked up Hu Biao's secret gift, and stuffed it under her pillow.

Then, the servants and staff of Deyue Tower were surprised to find out.

Ms. Anne, who is always radiant and never tired like an iron man, went to bed at least two hours earlier than usual because she felt a little uncomfortable...

*******
  At the same time, the imperial concubine covered her head.

He told the servants that he felt a little uncomfortable today, so he needed to rest early.

The pretty boy, a new star who has risen like a comet in the business world of Shanghai in the past month, has also just completed a business with quite good profits.

The problem is, it's a strange place for him to discuss business, not in his own office.

Nor is it at the wine table, where Easterners are more accustomed to discussing business; nor is it at dance parties, afternoon tea, etc., which Westerners are accustomed to.

Rather, it was in the boudoir of a lover in the magical capital, who was the person in charge of logistics for the Yin Army.

If it were more specific.

That is, after lying on the bed for a long time, a man in his twenties, seventeen or eight years old, who was obviously exhausted, struggled to get up from the bed.

From the clothes that were thrown all over the floor and even torn, a thin document was found.

After taking a look at the pretty boy sitting at a small table nearby, smoking a cigar and drinking red wine, he felt that he was filled with an indescribable melancholy temperament, and a look of intoxication immediately appeared in his eyes.

With such a look of intoxication, she sat directly on the pretty boy's lap.

With the desire to devour this man in one gulp, she kissed him fiercely and then handed over the documents in her hand.

She said delicately: "Xiao, I've taken care of what you want.

Starting next week, all the food supplies for the Yin Army’s fleet and ground troops stationed in the Magic City will be handed over to you.

Of course, no matter how much you can earn from it, there must not be any problems with the money promised to Colonel Thomas. "

"Of course, everyone in Shanghai knows now that even if I, Xiao Bolin, lose money myself, I will not let my friends suffer."

The pretty boy who took the document made a solemn promise in his mouth, and he also thought so in his heart.

The idea that it is just a loss or something is completely nonsense.

Because he had already inquired about the price of ingredients purchased by the Yin Empire troops in the Demon City, whether meat or vegetables, which was basically more than five times the normal purchase price.

Even some high-end ingredients are priced higher.

Such a huge profit, even if there is a considerable part of it, must be fed back to Colonel Thomas as a benefit; but even if you let a pig do this kind of business, you can't lose.

So, the pretty boy just completed a business with a pretty good profit.

Of course, even though it was his first time entering the business world, the pretty boy still knew very well that he needed to maintain good relationships with customers.

Because after he achieved his goal, he did not choose to put on his clothes immediately and run away with such a document.

Instead, I plan to add another guy as a bonus based on the principles of friendly collaboration and mutual benefit.

But just when he was about to do something, the two of them heard the sound of the iron gate of the courtyard downstairs being opened, and a crisp sound of horse hooves reached their ears.

After the two looked at each other quickly, they had already reacted.

Besides Colonel Thomas, who else could be the person who had the key to the iron gate of the small courtyard and would come here at this late night time?
  But compared to the panic of the big Yangma, the pretty boy was a little calm.

After standing up, he put on his clothes at an astonishing speed while comforting the other person: "Honey, don't worry, there's still enough time."

This was indeed the case until Colonel Thomas, smelling of alcohol, walked into the bedroom on the second floor.

Apart from complaining about the small things like not closing the windows and not blowing out the candles after Dayangma fell asleep at night, he didn't notice anything wrong in the room at all.

And when he started to change into pajamas under the service of Dayangma who pretended to wake up and looked tired, the pretty boy even ran to the corner of the street [-] meters away.

After putting away the document in his hand, he took advantage of the bright moonlight tonight to take out his pocket watch and glanced at the latest time on it.

After discovering that the time above was almost one o'clock in the morning, he thought about going back to the Moon Tower to sleep.

After all, recently he has clearly felt the familiar symptoms of soreness in the waist and knees, cold limbs, trembling hands, hair loss, etc. after using the waist too much.

So I really need to take my time today and go back early to have a good rest.

But in the cold night breeze of the magical city, I wrapped myself in my coat and walked about a hundred steps towards Deyue Tower.

While the guy was cursing, he walked in another direction.

Why? Because the pretty boy thought of something.

Now that Old Henry has joined the team, their purchase of many machines and supplies has become much easier.

We have even contacted an armed merchant ship, and as long as we pay the money, we can sail it back for secret modifications.

It's just that what old Henry can provide is limited to some channels.

Facing this abandoned member of the Cavendish family, the white-skinned men in the Magic City might give him a little face; but if they don't have enough real money, they can't buy anything.

In order to purchase these machinery, supplies, and armed merchant ships, the money in their hands was spent like water, with no end in sight.

However, the property they got out of the Sassoon Manor was worth a lot.

But the new head of the Sassoon family arrived in the Magic City ten days ago and is currently frantically tracking down the murderer.

Therefore, they have a considerable amount of high-value jewelry that they have not disposed of, and the financial pressure is quite high.

So what else can the pretty boy do now? Of course, I will work overtime once and then negotiate a profitable business...
