Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

The roaring aircraft descended from the clouds and slowly landed on the dark blue airport ground. Then the cabin door opened and passengers came down the elevator one by one.

Soon after, two dark hovercars drove out of the airport and headed towards the city center. There were white and light gray high-rise buildings along the way. You could see the large airport in the north of the city, and the interstellar transport ships rising and landing from time to time.

Is this where the headquarters of 'Permafrost Ore' is located?

Sitting in the hovercar, Tilan saw a 100-story building emerging at the end of her field of vision. It had the symbol of 'frozen earth ore', a towering snow mountain and ore excavated from the corner of the snow mountain.

Yes, this is an important industrial city in the North Fourth District, Xibeiberg. Many northern industrial groups have their headquarters here. As an ore supplier, 'Permafrost Ore', in order to facilitate cooperation with other industrial groups, The headquarters is also located here. Anneli introduced the history of this company to the girl.

'Permafrost Ore' also emerged from the Federation Civil War four hundred years ago. At that time, in order to supply the huge military industry in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory, many mining companies made a fortune and their business expanded rapidly, and 'Permafrost Ore' was one of them. One, and they survived the difficult post-war years and put many of their colleagues to death.”

An investigation agency once analyzed why they could survive in such a market environment, and later found that the miners and bottom-level workers they used came from illegal areas, which means that they saved a lot of expenses in terms of labor costs, so that they could use more resources. Low prices capture the market and then crowd out peers.”

But this is illegal, right? The girl turned her head.

Yes, after the investigation came out, there was a lot of turmoil, and federal investigators also got involved. For this, the management of 'Permafrost Ore' had to apologize and pay a huge amount of compensation, and then it gradually subsided. Annelli flipped the information on the record board and continued to explain to Tilan.

However, fortunately, the customers faced by 'frozen soil ore' are not the general public, so the impact of a bad reputation will not be great. As long as their ore remains cheap, many industrial groups will choose their supply channels.

Only in the ore market, Jade Skirts have already been over-supplied. Due to competition with each other, profits are very thin. The leaders of the previous generations of 'frozen soil ore' have tried to develop business and markets in other star regions, but unfortunately they all ended in failure. , and now their business strategies are becoming more conservative, and they probably don’t have the same ambition as before.”

As the two of them talked, the hover car gradually arrived at its destination and then parked in the parking lot of the building.

Not long after the two stood still after getting out of the car, four men and women in professional suits also walked out of the hover car behind them. They were from 'Fire Iron Energy' and 'Black Hammer Heavy Industries', and they were professionals assisting in the negotiation.

Let's go. Tilan and Anneli were in front, followed by the other four. After entering the vertical elevator in the parking lot, the group quickly arrived at the 68th floor, which is where the 'frozen soil ore' is used. When you come to the external contact area, you can see many company representatives sitting in the glass room in the corridor talking and signing documents.

Hello, do you have a reservation? A receptionist saw several people walking out of the elevator and asked.

Yes. Anneli stepped forward and pointed the real invitation key of the personal terminal at the instrument, and then a beep sounded.

It turns out that the appointment is with Director Borus. Please wait a moment, I will contact him. The receptionist nodded after seeing the data displayed on the screen, then picked up the internal communicator on one side and started to communicate, while the staff on the other side guided Tilan and his group came to sit in a vacant room.

About 8 minutes later, a somewhat old middle-aged man arrived. He had thin hair on top of his head and was wearing a dark gray suit. Judging from the logo on his chest, he could be considered a middle-level person in the company.

Hello, Miss Tilan, this must be our first meeting. I'm surprised by the business and cooperation projects you mentioned in your email, because we have never understood the needs in this area before. It's not so much that we don't understand. Demand, it is better to say that I have not heard of this force.

Due to the current economic downturn in the Four Leaf Crystal Star Territory, the midstream industrial group has not changed for a long time. In the past century, dozens of familiar companies have been cooperating. The last time I heard a new name was a company named ' Treadmills' is a company that has made a name for itself.

We will get to know each other gradually in the future, Mr. Borus. The two briefly introduced each other first, and then went straight to the topic.

As for your demand, I have seen it in the email, but I still want to confirm whether the data you mentioned is true. After all, this is a quite large business, requiring the supply of nearly 20 million tons of various materials in three years. Ore-like raw materials.”

Yes, but this is just the beginning, because our production capacity is not enough at the beginning, and we will gradually expand in the future. Tilan nodded.

Uh... Seeing how determined the girl was, the other party didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Although it was a happy thing to receive a large order, the origin of the other party was really unclear, and the lady looked too young, which made people uneasy. Therefore, Borus was happy, worried, and scared at the same time. In the end it was all joy.

If you are sure, we need to sign a contract and pay a certain amount in advance. He considered the language to see how much money the other party could come up with in the early stage.

No problem. Tilan and her group were prepared for this. She asked several professionals accompanying her to come forward and hand over documents and payment contracts to the other party.

Seeing that the contract presented by the other party was so sophisticated and skillful, Borus relaxed slightly, and then rang the communicator at the table to ask the company's personnel responsible for contracts and financial calculations to come over.

On one side of the room, people from both parties began to gradually confirm and agree on the details, while Borus sat on the sofa and talked in detail with the black-haired girl opposite the coffee table.

I didn't expect that Miss Tilan is also from the north. It's a pity that I didn't get to know her earlier.

Today, about 80% of the large chaebols and conglomerates in Jade Skirt are concentrated in the southern districts, and there are very few large conglomerates in the north.

In the past, I probably wouldn't have been able to come into contact with people like Mr. Borus. Tilan drank the coffee slowly, and then slowly scanned the room and the corridor outside the glass wall.

How many years have you been working at Frozen Earth Ore? I heard it seems to be a family business.

Well, yes, I am also a member of the Medez family, but I am not so closely related to my direct bloodline.

Compared to ordinary people, you should be lucky to be born in such a family.

Lucky, I guess, but it's not as easy as outsiders think. After all, there is competition within the family, especially the big families with many bloodlines.

In fact, in my personal opinion, when there are too many family members, there won't be much intimacy in the traditional sense, because you haven't even spoken to many people, and you don't know them all.

It's more like some kind of company colleagues, haha, it seems like we are company colleagues now. This Borus was also very talkative.

As the two became more familiar with each other's conversation, the contract document on the side was finally finalized. Soon, the first advance payment was also made to the account of 'Permafrost Ore' for confirmation by the other party.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Tilan nodded slightly to Anneli beside her, and the silver-haired girl immediately stepped forward.

Mr. Borus, do you recognize this logo? She took out a brooch with a pattern of overlapping silver leaves and pinned it in front of her body.

This is... from Silver Leaf Workshop. Borus was familiar with Jade Skirt's large-scale car manufacturing company, and the two parties had some business dealings.

That's right, I am Annelie Xie Lanhuas, and the current chairman of 'Silver Leaf Workshop' is my father. Although following Tilan feels a bit unknown, this silver-haired girl's background is not known at all. Not low, there are only a few people in the first grade who can hold her head high.

I'm sorry, Miss Anneli, why is it here? He looked at the brooch, pushed up his glasses, and used the recognition AI on the glasses frame to confirm that it was genuine, and then searched for information about Xie Lanhua on the Star Network Family information, and soon discovered the photo of Miss Anneli.

Because Tilan and I are both classmates at Edes Academy, we came with her this time. Anneli explained simply, and then changed the topic.

I haven't been to the north for a long time. I wonder if Mr. Bolus has any recommended attractions. Also, it would be better if someone of the same age as the Medici family accompanied me.

Of course there's no problem with that. Although he didn't understand why Miss Anneli suddenly came over, Borus didn't have to worry about these things. After all, he was just a middle-level person, so he just came to confirm the contract and make preliminary contacts. If he really wanted to Signing this contract must also require the signature of the senior management. Today just accelerated the process.

Please wait a moment, you two. I'll contact you right away. He stood up, said a few words to the staff on the side, and then walked out of the room.

In this case, we can meet the direct descendants of the current Medez family, right? Tilan asked Anneli beside her.

Well, I guess it may be an heir of the same generation as us. Although Tatanis is favored, she is a girl and is too young among her peers, so she will not be the main successor.

Although the large chaebol family looks very prestigious to outsiders, within a family like ours, there is an obvious status gap within it. Take me for example. Although I am relatively young, none of my brothers dare to make me angry. This is Not only because I am more favored, but also because I am the top three heirs determined by my father.

Among our peers, the three of us have a much higher status than other brothers and sisters, but we also face greater competitive pressure. After all, only one of the three can become the next generation head of the family. Anneli explained.

In this case, I think of Sister Florus. It seems that she came to Payin City to work as a maid just because she wanted to avoid this kind of competition. The girl recalled the scene a year ago, when the silver-haired elder sister took her Work, teach her how to sort ingredients and process them, and cook a delicious dinner for herself.

Suddenly I miss Sister Furuowsi’s food.

While Tilan was reminiscing about the past, a slightly taller man with light blond hair walked into the room. He looked to be in his mid-twenties and slightly mature.

Hello, Miss Tilan, Miss Anneli. He has deep blue eyes, a capable manner, and a sense of sharpness that attracts but does not reveal.

Hello, may I ask? Tilan blinked.

Yes, let me introduce myself. I am Philomede Medez, now the first heir of the Medez family. It seems that the Medez family has confirmed that he will take over. He said this very He was determined and confident, and the surrounding staff were breathing a little lower, a little nervous.

Hello, Mr. Philomede. The two of them saluted simply.

You can call me by my name directly. It will be more relaxed and comfortable. After he sat down, he called the staff aside to ask about the drafting of the contract.

That's it, don't worry too much about the details. He understood the efficiency of his group of people, and it would be of little use to worry about the details. Most of today's contract templates are mature and there won't be too many mistakes. These people just want to reflect the Regarding your own value, you will deliberately entangle with the other party on certain details.

Yes, Mr. Philomede. Soon, the contract between the two parties was placed on the table. Recorded by the triple camera, the two parties signed, stamped with the company's special key seal, and then entered it into the federal contract archives. , this contract is concluded.

Now let me take you two to visit the scenery of the Northern Kingdom. Standing up, the tall man issued an invitation. Because he was nearly two meters tall, Tilan and Tilan even had to raise their heads slightly to look at each other.

After that, the three of them took off in a small aircraft from the Permafrost Mining Industry, passed through the urban area of ​​​​Sibeberg, and headed to the snow-capped mountains not far from the suburbs. On the top of the mountain, there are mountaintop villas and hotels specially used for sightseeing.

It was already June, and it was not cold at the top of the snow-capped mountains. There were some white fairy flowers blooming in the soil. The three of them walked on the stairs, and then stopped at a stand to overlook the mountains and the scenery in the distance.

After a brief conversation, Philomede suddenly spoke.

The two of you came to us for 'frozen soil ore', probably not just for this cooperation project.

Why does Mr. Philomede think so? the girl was curious.

Although this business is not small, it cannot be said to be particularly important, and it is not enough for the eldest lady of Silver Leaf Workshop to come here in person. Most of the raw materials of Silver Leaf Workshop are finished steel, and direct purchase of ore raw materials is rare. .

I don't know about Miss Tilan's situation, but I happen to know the two signs when signing the contract.

Lebion, what a nostalgic name. Our company has cooperated with them a long time ago, but most of the middle-level families don't know about these things. Only our direct heirs occasionally look up the long-standing records within the family. ”

If that's the case, it will save a lot of time for explanation. Tilan nodded slightly, and then talked about the current changes in the North Second District, as well as some plans for the future.

…

After listening carefully to the vision described by the black-haired girl, he nodded slightly, but then asked: Maybe I am presumptuous, but I still want to know, Miss Tilan, how to ensure the smooth implementation of everything.

What you are talking about is not only commercial, but also faces political resistance, whether it is the approval of the establishment of the city, the review of the transfer of a large number of people, and whether the construction of the dead tree garden will trigger the star domain government Bans from years ago, etc.”

Well... The girl thought carefully, and now the best way to explain it is to reveal her talent as a singer.

After a pause for a few seconds, she closed her eyes slightly, and then opened them again, with a faint brilliance appearing in her pupils.

Mr. Philomede, do you understand this? Her voice seemed to sound from the consciousness and soul. The man opposite him even saw through his blue eyes the thousands of miles of snow in the north, countless dry In the desolate land, a faint sadness and pity came to my mind.

It was as if an impulse was slowly rising in his heart, making him want to change this situation and pray for the land to be revitalized. This feeling echoed in his heart like a wave, almost drowning him.

This is really... He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the urge.

Needless to say, he already understood the confidence of the girl in front of him.

If she is a brand new singer and a singer with great potential, then everything makes sense.

Politically, as long as what she wants to do does not violate the federal constitution and popular moral principles, she will not encounter any resistance, and she can even initiate some kind of trend and trend to change the current situation in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory.

I understand, Miss Tilan, please let our 'frozen soil ore' become your loyal followers. He bowed deeply and saluted, with a lot of emotions in his heart.

Maybe it's a little early to make big bets, but he is not one of those timid old people in his family. Now that the singer has not yet become famous, it is the best opportunity to make a bet. Otherwise, when countless companies come to visit him in the future, he will have to make another bet. It doesn't make much sense anymore.

It doesn't have to be so formal. The girl shook her head.

Actually, I have another thing to do here this time, which is about Tatanis... She talked about the situation in the school and the bad influence caused by the current indigo cornflower.

Please rest assured, Miss Tilan, I will definitely teach my roommate well and let her understand the importance of discipline and etiquette. He said the last few words with extra emphasis, which made people worry about Tatanis' future. encounter over a period of time.

Well, I hope Philomede won't punish her too severely. After all, we are all Edes's classmates. In the end, Tilan had to comfort her a little, fearing that the other party would do something extreme.

Ms. Tilan, please rest assured about this.

Seeing that Philomede agreed, the two of them could not say anything more. During the subsequent tour, Philomede became particularly respectful and modest, and even invited the two of them to enjoy a meal with northern characteristics at noon. .

In this way, it was not until evening that Tilan and Anneli returned by aircraft.

Seeing the aircraft with a military background take off and gradually disappear at the end of the sky, Philomede breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned deeply, and he called his followers.

Get me on the phone with my father, and then send an email to Tatanis and ask her to buy tickets for tomorrow morning... no, just for tonight, and go home.

yes.

It's October, time flies so fast, and this year is almost over.
