Father Mavie

Chapter 24 News of Death
"Dad, aren't we here to buy clothes?"

On the carriage back to the church, Junia tilted her head and kept looking back at Morgan's tailor shop behind her: "Why don't you need to pay for things, Dad?"

Ma Wei was holding a few paper bags in his hand, which contained the small skirts he bought from a clothing store on the roadside. It took time to order clothes, and it was impossible to get them on the same day, so he had to buy a few for Junia first.

"The amount I paid was something he couldn't refuse." Ma Wei replied: "People are very simple and complex creatures. Once they grasp their psychological demands, they can be smoothly controlled. I didn't want to use this kind of tactic. , but the church is short of money, so it can only find another way.”

"Dad is amazing!"

Junia kissed Ma Wei on the cheek: "This way we won't be short of money, right?"

"It's still missing."

Ma Wei said frankly: "Far water can't solve near fire, and it takes time to see the return on investment, but fortunately, our funds can support the church for half a year. By then, Mr. Morgan has long been famous, and the problem of fund shortage will be easily solved. "

"Then dad, who do you want to promote to Grandpa Morgan?"

"Of course it's Gray Wolf Dino!"

"You came to me for this?"

At 6 o'clock in the evening, in a luxurious and bright villa, Gray Wolf Dino was slumped on a large and soft leather sofa, wearing a lavender silk nightgown, holding a glass of vodka in his hand, crossing his legs, watching with great interest. Ma Wei and his daughter sitting opposite:
"I thought you were here to practice it for me. I didn't expect it to be a business. It's really chilling."

"It was you who came to see you when you said you were in trouble."

Ma Wei drank the red tea and said calmly, "You're leaving anyway, and if you don't shine for a while, you might lose your chance."

".Did you consider my feelings when you said that?"

"Do you need to think about it?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't think so."

"."

After gulping down the spirits in his glass, Gray Wolf Dino grinned and muttered, "If someone else dared to talk to me like that, I would have kicked him out a long time ago!"

"Even if the person sitting here is a great nobleman or a relative of the emperor?"

"Damn it, every time I chat with you, I will be so angry!"

Gray Wolf Dino was so angry that he almost dropped the cup. The housekeeper Li Silde who was standing by was watching his heart, pretending that I didn't hear anything and didn't understand anything.

"I can help you with this matter, but before that, I want to ask you a question."

Putting aside his joking tone, Gray Wolf Dino sat up straight and said with a serious expression, "Are you asking me for help as a friend, or as a businessman to discuss business with me?"

"The identity of a merchant."

"Well, let's talk about business. I want half of the shares."

"no problem."

"Li Silde, go to draft the contract."

"Yes, sir."

The butler bowed slightly, stopped pretending to be dead, and walked out of the room quickly to draft the contract.

When there were only the three of them left in the room, Gray Wolf Dino suddenly asked, "Why don't you ask me for help as a friend?"

"Didn't I ask you to borrow a bottle last night?"

"Can such a small matter be considered a request?"

"No matter how small it is, you helped me after all, not to mention that it is a big thing for me."

"But I always feel that there is an invisible barrier between us."

"That's your psychological problem. I don't think so."

"my question?"

Gray Wolf Dino leaned back, looked up at the gas chandelier on the ceiling, and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, the housekeeper, Li Silde, came back with a contract that had just been drawn up. The terms were clear and listed almost all situations that could be imagined. As long as you sign your name and press your thumbprint, the contract will take effect immediately.

Gray Wolf Dino took the pen, waved his hand, and signed his name on the contract. After pressing his fingerprints, he sneered: "I just remembered, you are an empty-handed white wolf."

"I will do the dirty work, and the technical problems will be handed over to the old tailor Morgan. You don't need to do anything, and you can get 25% of the share."

"I'm a middleman."

Ma Wei shrugged, dipped his thumb in some ink pad, and pressed hard on the end of the contract held by the housekeeper: "Without a middleman, there would be no cooperation, so it is reasonable for me to take 25% of the shares."

"Is it interesting to be a priest of a small church if you don't go into business with this mind?"

"Of course it's interesting."

Ma Wei looked at Junia, whose mouth was full of macaron snacks, and said with a smile: "It is because I founded the Church of Truth that I was able to meet her. I don't regret my original decision. Compared with the turbulent life , I prefer a plain life."

"Sure enough, I'm not on the same side as you."

Shaking his head, Gray Wolf Dino was completely helpless. He waved his arms and ordered: "Li Silde, go and pack a few bags of snacks for my goddaughter."

"Understood, sir."

"When did I agree to let you be Nia's godfather?"

"It's not a godfather, it's a godfather."

Gray Wolf Dino corrected: "I am so rich, am I not qualified to be your daughter's godfather?"

Mavi smiled, but didn't answer.

"Hey, you don't really think I'm not qualified, do you?"

Shocked, Gray Wolf Dino looked at Ma Wei vigilantly, pointed at the living room as big as several basketball courts, and shouted: "This lot, such a big house, can't be bought with just money! How many people are there?" Begging to be my godson, I didn't even agree!"

"Money, although important, is not everything, Dino."

These words made Gray Wolf Dino fall into deep thought again. He poured a glass of vodka, lowered his head and sipped it, staring blankly.

After getting the snack, Ma Wei stood up and said goodbye to him: "I'm leaving, thank you for the snack."

The street at night is not peaceful. Drunk men are walking staggeringly on the side of the road. The tavern in the distance is brightly lit, loud singing is heard, the melodious tune of the accordion is flying in the cold wind, and the thieves are sneaking around. Hide in the dark and look for delicious prey.

When Ma Wei returned to the church, he found several figures standing at the door of the church, wearing a neat tuxedo and a black leather cap, knocking on the door hastily.

police?

What do they come to church for?
Stepping forward quickly, Ma Wei stopped them from knocking on the door, and asked, "Officer, what's the matter?"

"Who are you?" asked the leading policeman.

"Mavi Enders, priest of the Church of Truth."

"You came just in time, come with us."

The leading policeman made a look, and several subordinates immediately surrounded Ma Wei.

"Why are you arresting me?"

Ma Wei said calmly: "There must be a charge for arresting people, police officer."

"Did you go to Maggie Chriss' home at 2 o'clock this afternoon?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Maggie Chriss is dead. We are taking you to the scene for investigation under the orders of Inspector McMillan."
