Chapter 54 Invitation

The full-power cargo ship is like an arrow from the string. On the other side, the pirate's assault boat cruises slowly. Both appear on the display at the same time, forming a strange picture.

Data loses its effect at this moment, the cargo ship may be detected by the assault boat, or it may pass by. At this time, character determines everything.

Linni looked cold. While driving at full speed, she kept her cursor at both ends of the screen. Even though she was not repulsive to the battle that was coming at any time, the blood cow still held her breath. A pair of blood-red bull eyes stared at the small light spots on the screen, and the thunder bee stopped shouting, as if she was afraid that a tiny sound would alarm the pirates.

Chen Fang witnessed the legendary low-probability event. Although he had never witnessed it in the past, he always developed in an unfavorable direction. This time, the cargo ship bypassed the pirates without any danger.

Chen Fang murmured to himself with character.

"Let me do it, fiddle with the machinery, I'm better than you." The Pili Bee took the initiative to replace Linni with a cold expression. The three charge boats were missing. Thirteen hours passed since they were on the road. Since they were always sailing at full speed, the cargo ship rushed out of the Red Devil's power area in advance.

"Thank you." Chen Fang said to Linni lightly.

Linni gave him a blank look and asked, "What do you thank me? Thank you for your silly trusting you, driving a cargo ship full of crystal oil, and climbing under the pirate's nose?"

"If I had just waited for me to explain clearly, I'm afraid we wouldn't have a chance to avoid the pirates." Chen Fang knew that he was in the wrong position. As a teammate, he had the right to know all his plans, but he was really not used to describing the plan from beginning to end before doing things. What she wanted to thank was Linni's trust without asking about the reason.

There were no more pirates along the way. The cargo ship arrived at Chardon Airport in two weeks. Of course, Chen Fang would not be stupid enough to sell the crystal oil to the official, but spread the news and waited for the price. In just five or six days, the entire ship of crystal oil was sold out, and the price rose by 70%.

As expected, due to pirates, the price of Kado Blue Crystal Oil plummeted. However, with the acquisition price of Chardon, trafficking of crystal oil was a profitable industry, but now it has become even more profitable under the rampage of pirates.

"If we don't become mercenaries, we might be able to trade crystal oil to make money." Seeing that the money was so relaxed, the crazy-poverty Pili Bee couldn't help but be jealous.

Chen Fang explained sincerely: "We lack capital, otherwise we would make 7% more money and leave half of it for Shen Jun, and we will divide the rest."

"This is not very good." Pili Bee was inevitably moved, and the mercenary's moral qualities made him withstand the temptation.

Chen Fang continued to tempt: "This money is an extra income and we earn it back ourselves. We don't have to worry about dividing it."

"Don't even think about it." Linni accidentally heard the conversation between the two. She didn't want to pay attention to it, so as not to misunderstand that she was eavesdropping. Who knew that Chen Fang was getting more and more outrageous, and actually lured Pili Bee to embezzle the employer's assets. Her good mercenary qualities made her unable to bear it.

"This is something she doesn't give up, and she is unwilling to let me go." Chen Fang is such a person. He knows that Pili Feng is short of money and is willing to provide help, but he will not give or borrow money. At most, he will give him an opportunity to make money.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it is private or not. It is much more difficult and dangerous to protect a cargo ship full of crystal oil passing through a pirate rampant area than to protect several broken mines. It is natural to increase commissions. Chen Fang saw in advance the possibility of the price of Chardol crystal oil soaring, and proposed to share the additional income from trafficking crystal oil equally, one for Shen Jun and one as commission.

Mr. Shen doesn't value making money, so he wants to give his family a beautiful performance, even if he can barely make a contribution. This proposal does not require additional expenses and may obtain additional income, so he will naturally not refuse.

Shen Jun had no idea of ​​getting a full bag, and he did not keep the part that belonged to him privately. He explained the whole story and handed over to the family. The capital of the noble children was not measured by money, but by the family's trust and respect. Although he did it without intention, he finally made the right choice.

The truth came to light, Linni was still cold, but she was never calm. She has been unable to make ends meet since she joined the mercenary. Although she was willing to fund her, she was unable to do so.

Linni knew that when they were 'hippy-faced' borrowing money from her, they felt uncomfortable. Those who were willing to defend their teammates with their lives would never lack dignity. Moreover, their abilities were not weak. If they hadn't followed her wholeheartedly, how could they have survived to the present.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the two teammates burdened Linni, but the fact is that Linni's stubbornness dragged down the team, and the casualties and withdrawals of members were all normal. Linni refused to recruit new members, which eventually led to the team's difficulties.

Chen Fang changed this situation, which allowed his peers to get rid of the financial difficulties and preserve their dignity. More importantly, Linni was not as stubborn as before.

The Shen family ended the mine business, and the initial task was gone. The escort mission could be temporarily hired, but Shen Jun determined that Chen Fang would not let him go, and the conditions offered were particularly attractive. The escort mission was still in accordance with the old rules, with half of the additional income as commissions, waiting for the commissions during the waiting period, and Chen Fang and others did not have to stay in the manor at any time and come and go freely.

On the third day back to Cardolan, Old William came to the door.

"I heard that a cargo ship crashed on Kadolan East Road, but it scared me. I was uneasy these days. It was great to see you come back safely." Everyone knew that this concern was pretending, but the old fox's acting skills were super cool, so Chen Fang had to express his gratitude in time.

All the bystanders were dumbfounded. Can the relationship between the two men be so close? Moreover, Chen Fang seemed to have forgotten the micro-locator in the cargo hold. It was the ironclad evidence that Old William had an affair with the pirates. He wanted to put Chen Fang to death.

After a few simple greetings, Old William asked with a smile: "I heard that someone transported a whole ship of crystal oil to Chardon Airport and caught a fierce ticket. That should be the work of Mr. Shen?"

Mr. Shen naturally refers to Chen Fang. It is obvious who the owner of this manor is. The old fox is extremely smart and cannot hide it. At this time, it is just a question. It is not to prove anything. Chen Fang simply accepted it happily and then waited for it.

"Okay! Mr. Shen is indeed hidden. Three weeks later, there was a party on Bourbon Star. I hope Mr. Shen will enjoy the glory." Old William suddenly changed his expression and handed an invitation with both hands, with a look of respect in his eyes.

The invitation is made in particular, with every detail very detailed. The beautiful patterns at the corners are not simple decorations. Like the role of family emblems, they are all signs of identity.

This was an invitation from the upper class aristocrats, and it was of great significance to the lower class aristocrats. The father of the Golden Lion received such an invitation when he was in a downturn and despair. Since then, he has risen to the top and become a pillar of the country.

For those with ability and ambition, an opportunity is more precious than anything else, but Shen Jun...

In any case, the opportunity should not be missed. Chen Fang took the invitation first and promised to go to the appointment on time. Only then did Old William feel relieved and explain some details and leave in a hurry.

"This is an excellent opportunity to take it." Chen Fang was about to return the invitation to the original owner.

"You accepted the invitation, I won't go!" Shen Jun retreated to the corner of the room.

"You are Shen Jun, I accepted it on your behalf." Chen Fang gave a helpless reminder, and at the same time he was a little angry.

"They invited you. Maybe they invited you to traffic in crystal oil. What can I do if I go?" Shen Jun showed the courage to fight to the death. It was hard to imagine that this was just for an invitation.

"This is a gathering of nobles, and those who attend must be nobles. Besides, trafficking of crystal oil is the business of your Shen family. How dare I make a decision casually? Think about your father, he is full of expectations for you..." Chen Fang put the invitation in front of him and shook it. The guy actually closed his eyes.

"I feel that you are more like a noble than me. Didn't Old William admit his mistake? I authorize you to handle the negotiations on selling crystal oil. This is OK, right?" Shen Jun was really forced to enter the study as if he was running for his life.

"I don't understand what these noble children think? Isn't it just going to have a meal?" Pili Bee witnessed the dramatic scene and was filled with emotion. Compared to the struggle between guns and bullets, this scene is indeed ridiculous.

Chen Fang said meaningfully: "The nobles also have their own difficulties, and it is not easy for anyone."

Being strong does not mean that he cannot feel the pain. For seven years, he has given up the life he wants and lived in suffering every day. On the contrary, he felt the taste of happiness after joining the mercenary. This is the case with the powerful Chen family. How good can the fate of a inferior nobleman be? After living in that environment for a long time, there will inevitably be some psychological shadows. Shen Jun's condition is more serious.

Linni is willing to accept this sentence. It is not easy for anyone to live. But after Chen Fang said it, he felt a little painless moaning. Does he know the difficulties of the nobles?

"What are you going to do? Should you go to the party on his behalf?"

"I'm afraid that's all I can do is to help him finalize his business first. Who told me to ask for trouble? I suggest him to traffic in crystal oil." Chen Fang was in tears.

Linni frowned and said, "Do you think William's invitation is for the sale of crystal oil? Do you trust him? You forgot the micro-locator found in the cargo hold? He is probably a pirate's accomplice. Are you not afraid that he will do badly to you under the name of a party?"

"Are you caring about me?" Chen Fang couldn't help but be flattered. He didn't wait for a long time to reply, and then he remembered her principle, saying that nonsense would be ignored.

Good days have passed too long, and it is inevitable that people will forget the lesson. Chen Fang changed into a serious expression: "Old William runs a refinery. He can't have anything else to do with me except talking about crystal oil. According to my speculation, he may want to sell crystal oil together. The locator in the cargo hold was not placed by him, and the party was not something he wanted. The owner of this banquet should be his master, and he was just here to send invitations."

"Why do you think that the locator was not placed by him?" Linni asked.

Chen Fang analyzed calmly: "First of all, he didn't know in advance that I could put his workers on the boat. If I asked my workers to carry them, he wouldn't be able to put them in the tracker? If he wanted to put the tracker, he should also put it in the oil barrel. Besides, cutting off the transportation line would not be of any benefit to him. He has the only refinery in Kadolan. As long as it can start construction, the source of wealth will come. Why stop work by himself? Even if he barely said that he wanted to make huge profits, at this point, if he had an affair with the pirate, he could transport crystal oil to make a fortune by himself, and there was no need to come to me."

Linni also thinks this analysis is logical: "But if he wants to find you to cooperate, why don't you mention it for the first time?"

Chen Fang thought and explained: "At that time, Old William didn't trust my abilities. Why do you need to be moved by the young people's whim? Why don't you look at it? He sold my crystal oil first and observed my abilities. If I could transport the crystal oil out, it would not be too late to ask me to discuss cooperation. The only one of Kadolan sells crystal oil, he is not afraid that I can run away. If I fail, he can still sell a ship of crystal oil, and there is no loss."

Linni suddenly felt a chill: "You know that old William is, but you are still willing to cooperate with him?"

"Why can't we cooperate? As long as it is in his interests, we don't have to worry about being betrayed. In fact, this is not a matter of our will, but whether we are qualified to cooperate with him. Kadolan is full of ores, and these ores are sent to the factory and can be refined into crystal oil without much cost. Old William has such capital in his hand, so why worry about not being able to find someone to cooperate? He is qualified to select partners, and the people he picked will never suffer any losses. This invitation is the olive branch handed to the inferior nobles." Chen Fang, born in a wealthy family, has a deep understanding of the essence of cooperation. As early as when he was only a few years old and did not understand what a woman was, his marriage was prepaid by the family as a bargaining chip.

Finally, a message popped up in the goggles, interrupting Linni's questioning.
