Chapter 308 Motorcade

The apprentices from the Riverside Chamber of Commerce left in despair.

After watching the other party leave, Lindsay hugged Elini and returned to her shop together.

After closing the store door, he teased the girl next to him:

"Elini, when did I become your lover?"

Elini immediately let go of Lindsay's body, then rolled her eyes:

"Then what should we do? We can't say that you are the maker of stockings!"

This answer confirmed Lindsay's previous speculation.

The people from the Hetan Chamber of Commerce came here because of the stockings, or the interests behind this product.

They were unable to confirm the exact source of Elini.

So the person who came to Lindsay today was just an apprentice.

If these businessmen can really confirm that Lindsay is the supplier of silk stockings, the person who knocked on his door this morning is definitely much more sinister than a first-stage apprentice!

Danger comes quietly.

But this phenomenon also means good news.

Lindsay enthusiastically took out the syrup, dissolved it into a cup of sugar water, and handed it to Elini's table:

"So it seems that you did a good job selling stockings last night?"

Elini took a sip, leaned back, and lay down on the rocking chair made by Lindsay:

"Hmph! More than good?"

"You were not here last night and didn't see the looks in the eyes of those young masters and ladies."

"I'm afraid I can earn the few hundred gold coins I spent to buy the medicine in less than a month!"

Elini put down the water glass, feeling a little excited inside.

Based on the popularity of stockings shown yesterday, as long as this business can continue, this should be the fifth stage of her advancement.

From stage four to stage five.

——Upgraded person.

Thinking of this, Elini bit her lip.

When she was 7 years old, she joined the Silver Leaf Chamber of Commerce in the Platinum City and started out as an errand boy.

Until now, more than ten years have passed quietly.

During this period, Elini also encountered two opportunities, but due to fate, they were always so far behind.

Now, during this business trip to the border of the world.

He once again grasped hope.

Elini's eyes were fixed on the water glass in front of her.

The water with syrup added is slightly yellow and does not look good, but the taste is very sweet.

Elini looked at Lindsay again.

Today, let alone use the name of your lover to help Lindsay fend off the people from the Hetan Chamber of Commerce. Even if something really happened, she could still consider it.

at the same time.

Next to him, Lindsay was also lamenting the speed of action of the businessmen:

"Speaking of which, the people from the Hetan Chamber of Commerce are really quick to act."

"You showed your stockings last night, and someone came to your door this morning."

Elini takes this as a matter of course:

"They are businessmen whose foundation is money. They regard these things as sometimes even more important than their own lives, so they naturally act quickly."

Lindsay praised Elini:

"But your attitude is a little different when it comes to money."

Elini chuckled.

She was very impressed and explained in detail:

"That's because I focus on the transaction process itself and am not in the same faction as them. The essence of money and the essence of transaction may appear similar in appearance, but the actual core is very different."

At this point, Elini also became interested and gave Lindsay an example:

"Let's put it this way - people like us who are transactional in nature, if we accidentally take the lives of others, we will feel guilty like normal people;

But for those guys who are money-minded, their first reaction is to conceal the truth and minimize their losses. If the truth is exposed, their second reaction is not to apologize or express their guilt, but to directly ask you, 'How much will you pay? '"

Lindsay couldn't help but shook her head and said:

"If the Platinum City were filled with people like this, it would really be a hell on earth."

"Purgatory on earth?" Elini raised her eyebrows, "Your adjective is quite appropriate."

"The Platinum City is divided into three districts. Among them, the Tower District is completely controlled by merchants who are money-oriented. The situation of the poor there is really worthy of this title!"

Lindsay said:

“So on the other hand, for wealthy awakened people, that’s paradise?”

Elini shrugged her shoulders and gave a more accurate statement:

"Whether you are an awakened person or not, as long as you have money."

"Money is the only criterion for measuring a person's value - as long as you can accept this statement, in the Tower District, your future fate will depend on your own abilities."

"..." Lindsay didn't want to think about that kind of world.

His expression was a little ugly, so he changed the topic and raised another concern of his:

"Before in Cape Lookout City, Quete obviously wanted to drag me to Yueyue City. Do you think this Alecun may have also received this news?"

Elini asked in return:

"Are you worried that the two of them are working together to deceive you?"

Lindsay nodded and admitted:

"Yes."

Elini shook her head slightly and handed the half-cup of sugar water in front of her to Lindsay:

"Don't worry, businessmen are not monolithic."

"Especially these guys who are money-oriented. Even if they are in a chamber of commerce, they are still close partners on the surface and can go hunting together. But if it involves only one interest, they can also tear each other's flesh and blood. The hungry wolf."

"They don't just hand over the information they have."

After exchanging each other's views on businessmen.

Elini also brought the topic back to the transaction itself:

"Lindsay, if nothing else happens, orders should be arriving one after another today. You should have enough goods ready, right?"

Lindsay took out a batch of stockings made from the raw materials she purchased yesterday:

"I have these on hand right now."

"If you want more, then go purchase raw materials. I will take the time to go over tonight or early tomorrow morning and prepare as much ready stock for you as possible."

Elini took the stockings.

The thing in front of her was her opportunity to advance to the fifth stage, so she naturally had to check the quality of the goods meticulously:

"Now, I'm going to spend all my money."

Elini sighed while confirming the quality of the goods in hand.

The output of Lindsay's [workbench] is more stable than the assembly line.

She was naturally very satisfied.

After the inspection, Elini responded to Lindsay, but she changed her mind halfway through:

"Lindsay, I will be staying at the Chamber of Commerce from tonight to tomorrow morning...Forget it, I'd better change my place to live and rent a room independently. I will send someone to inform you of the specific location later."

"..."

In the room, Lindsay and Ellyne discussed the deal.

But on the road from Lookout Point City to Jiuwan City, a small convoy was already walking on the road.

The most important position in the convoy is a prison car!

If Lindsay or Ellyne had been there, they would have recognized how special the situation was.

Han Sike, the knight of the law, sat in front of the prison car, acting as the driver and escort.

The wooden cage behind him contained a faint golden light, which was a realistic manifestation of the power of the law.

The person in the cage is no one else.

It was the big businessman who was still operating in Cape Lookout City a few months ago—Quite!

One of the two was being escorted in the prison car, and the other was concentrating on his way.

The former has a confident smile on his face, while the latter's demeanor is meticulous, firm and steady.

"I said Han Sike, why are you doing this?"

"If you escort me to Yueyue City and hand me over to the guild, you will only be fined at most. Didn't I do the same in the past?"

"You can't behead me in public just because of an undeterminable crime, right?"

The law knight in front spoke seriously:

“The results may not be different, but the process is equally important.”

"You businessmen actually concealed the discovery of the forest leyline and even violently exploited it! The consequences of this incident are very bad. You must give an account to everyone in the forest courtyard!"

Quite felt baffled by this:

"What, you still want to judge our Hetan Chamber of Commerce alone?"

Hear the conversation between the two.

Qing Yao, who was accompanying the motorcade, expressed support for Han Sike, and at the same time, he also sternly scolded Kuite:

"Of course the secret development was just a small mistake!"

"But you should never put the entire forest in danger just to interfere with our team entering Montenegro. Do you know how crazy this is?"

Quite turned a deaf ear to the accusations of the life scholars.

He only looked at Han Sike in front of him and persuaded the representative of the law:

"To be honest, Han Sike, we are indeed responsible for those riots in the forest. But this was not to delay the team of life scholars from entering Montenegro. Everything was just a coincidence!"

"Didn't you bring a scale to verify the authenticity of my words?"

"My property will be in trouble if I lose control. I agree with the escort this time, but I should also be given a certain degree of freedom, right?"

"..."

The Knight of the Law said nothing, just drove.

 [Can’t sleep, so I’ll add another update, that’s it. 】
