The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 191 The true face of America’s sweetheart
Tonight's internal meeting is related to the development of the valley and everyone's future, so even Aqina, who has deep opinions on Ashley, is listening carefully.

"How can we achieve the limited openness you mentioned?" Madam asked.

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

Then he took out a stack of documents from his bag and distributed them to everyone.

"First of all, I agree with Mrs. Aqina's appointment as the local village chief and her official recognition of her status."

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

"It is unrealistic to completely isolate yourself from the world and 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 tropical rain forest."

"No matter how deep you hide it, it will be discovered one day."

"Instead of passively waiting for that day to come, it is better to actively embrace the world."

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

Ashley paused here, picked up the juice on the table to moisten her throat, and then sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Leon.

"The document I just gave you describes the administrative division and regional structure of the area where the valley is located, as well as information about some officials who may be related to the valley, such as local councilors, chief executives, forest police, etc."

"Once we get rid of them, the valley can't be said to be settled once and for all. It can also be called peace of mind."

“It’s okay to even overdo it a little bit.”

It can only be said that Ashley is worthy of being the daughter of the former president. She comes from a well-educated family and is used to solving problems from a political perspective.

And the method she mentioned was in line with Li Ang's psychological expectations.

With Li Ang's current strength, he can no longer threaten him on a personal level. What he needs to worry about most is the pressure from another aspect.

While everyone was deep in thought, Daniela came back and said, "You mean to let us find ways to bribe those politicians?"

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

"Bringing officials is a serious crime in any country. We are good citizens who abide by the law."

"What we want to do is political donations, interest bundles, or anything else. In short, it is not bribery. You must remember this clearly."

The third lady suddenly realized: "I understand, the Americans' usual method."

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

"At that time, even if the secret of the valley is discovered, someone will take the initiative to help us solve it."

Aqina nodded thoughtfully, Ashley's plan was indeed much better than the previous simple closed or open plan between her and the Duke.

At this time, the eldest lady, who had been listening for a long time, finally found a plan to speak and suggested: "Umbrella is a good name, why not just call it the name of the company."

Li Ang, who was eating fruit opposite, almost choked to death when he heard this.

Good guy, Umbrella is reincarnated from the dirt, right?

The eldest lady frowned and asked in confusion: "What, is there something wrong with this name?"

Ashley explained: "Umbrella is an American company, a giant in biomedicine and many fields, but it went bankrupt more than ten years ago."

(Umbrella went bankrupt in 2004 and later reorganized into the private military company 'Blue Umbrella')
When Bella heard that the company was bankrupt, she suddenly lost interest: "Then this name is unlucky, so let's change it to another one."

She has never left the valley since she was born and knows very little about the outside world, so she has no idea that there is a famous umbrella company outside.

Li Ang couldn't help but joked: "Don't just think about fun all day long, times have changed, young lady."

"I didn't hear what Ashley just said. To embrace the world, you can't rest on your laurels."

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

As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest lady rushed over, straddled her husband and began to move her hands and feet: "How dare you despise me, I will bite you to death!"

Li Ang grabbed her two flailing little hands and said, "Absolutely not. I just think that I should take time to take everyone on a trip so that you can see more of the world."

"Travel!" everyone said in unison.

Bella stopped moving, Archina looked stunned, and even Ashley looked at him in surprise.

Daniella stood up even more excitedly. She had seen the prosperity outside and she had long wanted to go out again.

"Brother-in-law, where are you traveling? When will you leave? Can you take me with you?"

Among all the people present, only the second lady looked normal, because she was not interested in traveling. If she had this time, she might as well read more books and learn more prayers.

Li Ang saw everyone's reactions and said calmly:
"Of course the whole family will go on a trip, and no one will be left behind, but it will take some time until everyone has finished their work."

"And I still have to think about where to go."

Due to the air wall, he would definitely not be able to leave the valley now, but he was already prepared.

Miranda's transfer of consciousness + Donna's puppet making.

If you create a clone, you can't be restricted anymore.

Of course, being a clone alone is not enough. He will also actively look for ways to break the air wall in his subsequent world travels.

When Daniela heard that it would take some time before she could go out, she immediately sat back down in frustration:
"Brother-in-law, please don't talk about anything you're not sure about in the future, okay? It will make people happy in vain."

Li Ang didn't take it seriously, but Archina gave him a stern look.

"Why are you talking to your brother-in-law? Are you feeling wild after going out? If you want to leave, you can leave now. No one will care about you!"

The wife is usually very indulgent towards her daughters, but when it comes to principles, her tutoring is still very strict.

Daniela moved her lips and said nothing, sulking on the sofa.

Ashley saw this scene, and her impression of Madam changed a lot.

It seemed that this tall woman was not an ignorant country woman as imagined.

"Mrs. Aqina, please calm down. We can talk about the trip in private. Let's continue talking about business."

Li Ang looked at Ashley in surprise. She actually took the initiative to reconcile the relationship with Aqina. It was really the sun rising in the west.

Aqina was equally surprised, so she also showed her kindness: "Miss Ashley, I personally like your plan just now. Please continue."

"Thank you for your affirmation of me." Ashley smiled and said, "Then I will continue."

"As mentioned before, I agree that each of you should obtain legal status on the surface, but this is far from enough."

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

As the pages turned, the president's daughter stood up again: "Allow me to solemnly introduce to you that the person standing in front of you is the new council member of Valley Town: Ashley Graham."

The news that Ashley has become a local parliamentarian is even more shocking than the news that Li Ang is taking everyone on a trip.

And the last page of the document indeed stated that the valley expanded the village into a town, and she would serve as the first town councilor. At the same time, Aqina was promoted to the mayor.

Even the three sisters have their own positions. Bella is the town police chief, Daniela is the assistant to the mayor, and Cassandra has become the non-existent town library director.

Including Donna, who didn't come today, they all had small official jobs.

Only the Duke, due to various considerations, still maintained his original identity, an honest and trustworthy good businessman.

(The author doesn’t know much about foreign political systems, so he just needs to know the meaning)
"What about me?" Li Ang looked at the document for a long time, but couldn't find his name.

"You? Let me take a look." Ashley pretended to look through the document: "Oh, I remembered, I should be able to find your name in the spouse column of this congressman's identity information."

Li Ang took a closer look and found that it was true.

Bella was unhappy now and asked angrily: "Why do you think I am his wife! And how can you, an American, serve as a member of parliament in this country!"

Ashley looked calm and said with a half-smile: "You said you are a couple, where is the evidence?"

"I checked all the local official information related to marriage and found no information about the two of you. So the actual situation is that you only held a wedding but did not get married."

"In addition, Romania recognizes dual nationality, don't you know?"

“I love this country very much and want to make it better, so I successfully naturalized with the help of my parents’ meager influence. In addition, I am very prestigious among the local people, so everyone elected me as a member of the parliament. The whole process is reasonable and legal. , there are no illegal operations.”

At this moment, the seemingly docile and humble American sweetheart revealed her sharp fangs.

With a victor's attitude, he asked condescendingly: "Miss Bella, do you have any other questions? I can answer them for you one by one."

What a great move to pull the trigger and make the eldest lady burst into tears. “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, look at her!!!”

In fact, Bella has always had a good feeling about Ashley, because as the only partner who has held a wedding with Leon, her status is transcendent. In this regard, even her mother Archina cannot compare, so she doesn't feel it at all. Ashley is a threat.

But now, the undefeated golden body has been destroyed.

If Li Ang hadn't been there, she would have taken action.

The eldest lady here burst into tears, and Aqina on the other side was even more furious. The slightest affection she had for Ashley was instantly gone. Sharp claws sprouted from her fingertips, ready to stand up for her daughter.

The other two sisters also shared the same hatred. They held sharp iron hooks in their hands, as if they would hang Ashley up and drain the blood at the mother's command.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became extremely cold.

"Sit down." Li Ang coaxed Bella in his arms and said to everyone in an unquestionable tone: "I want you to 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 angry mother and daughter of the Di family sat back down in their seats, Li Ang looked at Ashley.

"Tell me why you did this."

Ashley had already anticipated the current situation and stated clearly:

"First, being a partner with a native-born local will help me, a newly naturalized member of parliament, to carry out my work better and reduce public resentment."

"Second, although my spouse's name is written in the column, similar to Miss Bella, there is no specific legal document proving that we are husband and wife."

Instructed by the words and deeds of the president's father, Ashley knows that nothing can be done forever.

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

But if she really does this, the relationship with the mother and daughter of the Di family will completely deteriorate, and Li Ang will also have objections to her.

Ashley simply wanted to raise her status to the same level as Bella first.

Otherwise, she is an outsider and is weak, so why should she fight against the mother and daughter of the Di family who have more people and strength?

She is not as open-minded as Donna. Since she is determined to stay with Li Ang, she must distinguish herself from this group of women.

If Leon is the king, Ashley will become the noble and aloof queen!

The eldest lady didn't know at this time that America's sweetheart was planning to seize the position of the palace lady, but because of her explanation, she lost a lot of anger.

But she still huddled in her lover's arms, unwilling to leave.

Bella, who had always been fearless, was really frightened this time.

Li Ang gently stroked her back, comforting her while bringing an end to this unexpected incident.

"Ashley, I understand your behavior, but I don't agree with it."

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

He said it seriously, and Ashley answered it seriously: "I know."

Then, Li Ang turned to Aqina and the two sisters: "For the sake of her 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, while Aqina sneered: "Humph, you have already spoken, how dare we have any opinions."

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

Bella hurriedly expressed her position: "I listen to Li Ang."

After hearing this, Aqina immediately looked at her eldest daughter with an expression of hatred.

She originally wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Ashley, but this was a good time. Her uneasy daughter simply handed over the initiative to others.

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

The lady leaned helplessly on the sofa, pressing her temples with a headache.

When the mother stopped, the two sisters naturally had no reason to attack. Each of them folded their arms, with depression written on their faces.

After dealing with the mother and daughter of the Di family, Li Ang once again turned his attention to Ashley.

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

Bella's character is innocent at best, but sweet and sweet at worst with a vicious mouth and a soft heart.

Just saying 'sister' was enough to make her forget the previous unpleasantness.

Besides, Li Ang is still watching, right?
"Well, for the sake of your sincere apology to me, I will reluctantly forgive you this time."

After successfully overcoming the crisis, Leon quickly brought the topic back to normal: "As for the establishment of the company, Ashley, you can wait for the Duke to come back and discuss the details with him."

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

"Have you heard of Mewtwo?"

Aqina had been with Li Ang for a long time and already knew his temper and temperament well. She urged him unceremoniously: "Stop being so pretentious and tell me, what do you want to do?"

Li Ang chuckled: "I plan to go out and buy some goods in a while."

Aqina was a little unhappy when she heard this: "You have only been back for a while and you are going out again. Could it be that the house can't accommodate you?"

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

"No." Li Ang simply rejected the third lady's request, and then explained to his wife: "So I said it for a while."

"That's what I thought. Let's see if it's feasible."

"In the early days, our company mainly focused on selling red wine from the Dimitrescu family. After we established a foothold, we will develop into the medical field, such as various drugs and medical equipment."

"Medical treatment?" Everyone was confused.

Ashley even asked directly: "I know that Mrs. Archina's red wine is quite popular in the market, but how do you connect it with medical treatment?"

Li Ang smiled meaningfully: "What if I said that drinking our red wine can cure chronic diseases and even prolong life?"

Ashley seemed to understand something: "You are planning to add the virus to the wine!"

Unexpectedly, Li Ang denied it and said: "How could it be!"I am not some ambitious person who wants to spread the virus and control the world. "

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

With that said, Li Ang took out several Holy Grail bottles of elixir: "Try it."

There are not many elixir bottles in the Magic Circle world, but there are definitely many. At least Finley told him that there are a lot of these in the Holy Tree.

As long as different crystal dew drops are added to the mixture, elixirs with various effects can be produced.

(The elixir bottle and the red and blue Holy Grail bottle are not the same thing)
Before Li Ang left the border area, he collected almost all the crystallized dew drops that could be seen on the market and stored them all in Dacifu.

For example, the largest number of red crystal dew drops can be used to prepare medicine that restores blood volume.

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

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

"Don't drink too much. If you drink too much, you will easily be unable to sleep at night."

At Li Ang's reminder, Archina and others each picked up a elixir bottle and took a sip.

"It's so weird. My body feels so hot, like I'm in a hot spring."

"Yes! And after drinking this, I didn't feel sleepy immediately and felt full of energy!"

"It's just amazing!"

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

"Why didn't you take out such a good thing earlier?"

"As long as through my parents' relationship, these elixirs can be placed in front of politicians and wealthy businessmen from various countries, we will be their guests from now on."

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

"I spent so much time planning, I'm going to be so angry with you!"
