Catherine suddenly asked Angus what he thought of Leo's proposal, which made Angus dumbfounded.
Not to mention Catherine's nepotism, whether I have the right to evaluate it.
Not to mention, the person being evaluated is still a shitty young man, and no one takes him seriously. In the future, he will be Emperor Ruman, and he will hold the most powerful power in the country. If in the future, that little hooligan
Keep a grudge in your heart and take revenge to see if you can live with it.
Just the idea of contracting disaster relief and reconstruction that Leo came up with out of the blue was enough to shock people.
Because this kind of thing is so earth-shattering, there has never been anything like it in human history.
For this first time of "eating crabs", no one can stand up and say whether it is good or bad~!
But for him who has many years of political experience, judging from Leo's narrative, this man who usually does nothing, makes trouble for nothing, beats dogs and chases chickens, has many "heroic" deeds, and makes Catherine angry several times every day.
Young Master, the method proposed is very comprehensive and feasible.
What's more, the conditions offered by Leo on behalf of the Flying Eagle Company are even more tempting, with full advance payment and even a deposit paid in advance. This is a fatal attraction for Nai'an, who is currently in financial distress.
As an excellent city manager and a qualified politician, they all possess and must have keen foresight.
It doesn't mean that after winning a battle, everyone can rest on their achievements, dine with beautiful women, drink champagne, drive BMWs, and indulge in sexual activities every day.
There are some idiots who do this, but usually, they all have a common fate, being killed by others.
For example, Dong Zhuo, Dong Dapang, Lü Bulu Qingzhong, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty... etc. These outstanding playboys are their representatives.
As Lorraine's deputy and the chief steward of the province of Naian, Angus is a very qualified politician. Otherwise, Lord Lorraine would have to squeeze milk out of a stone, and he would have a toothache if he dropped a copper penny.
Bantian's personality would never allow others to get free wages from him.
Compared with others, Angus knows more things and can see further than the people below.
After the huge flood flooded the orcs under Nedel City, Angus knew that the war was not far from over.
Although there is no clear news from the southern front, General Larry is mature and prudent. Although Governor Lorraine is young, he has been tested by war and is not the kind of person who only knows how to command blindly.
Naian has not lost a single city. Not only did the orcs not take advantage, they have already suffered a lot of losses. As long as they resist for another month, the orcs themselves will retreat obediently.
The orcs retreated and Naian was victorious, but this did not mean the war was over.
Everyone has suffered a lot in this anti-aggression war. How can we not get some benefits back from it?
Stealing things and making money from wars has always been Sir Lorraine's forte. If nothing else, the money that Maple Leaf Danlin Academy made from the Maple Leaf Danlin Defense War was enough to allow them to live a life of their own.
Everyone is salivating over the evil, decadent and decadent life of capitalism.
I heard that those grandsons use paper to wipe their butts after defecating every day. Isn’t this just a waste of things? They will definitely die a bad death in the future~!
Moreover, according to the official documents sent back by Lorraine recently, he has revealed several times that he will counterattack the grassland in the future. Moreover, Angus knows that Lorraine has been asking Archduke Julian for troops. Looking at the meaning, he knows that Lorraine plans to
It’s not small, at least we have to grab a big piece of land to come back~!
Thinking of this, Angus couldn't help but take a few quick breaths, and his eyes became eager: He opened up new territories and granted vassals thousands of miles away. The empire is now under the corruption and perversion of the law by those bastards. How can it hold its own?
The territories are all good. How many years has it been since anyone made such an earth-shattering feat?
If Lorraine really made such a great contribution, then he, who has always been by his side to assist him, might be able to become a count or something in the future.
From the harsh imperial heraldry academy, even if you can get a coat of arms like a dog's tail and draw it on your carriage, what a glorious thing it will be to honor your ancestors~!
But at the same time, Angus also knew that behind this great feat, it meant that Naian needed to spend more military expenditures, more than he, the great butler, dared to think about, because offense is better than defense.
Spend more money~!
Isn't the war about money and people?
Angus has been worrying about this matter. He has been waiting for Lorraine to come back and plans to persuade Lorraine face to face to give up the idea of counterattacking the grassland. At least he has to wait for another year for Nai'an to regain his strength.
But now, Angus, who was worried about money, was naturally very excited when he heard that Young Master Leo was willing to advance the money - since ancient times, the royal family has always used new methods to suck blood from the people. How can there be a royal family?
Take money out of your own pocket and spend it on everyone?
Even if this kind of taking advantage of someone is not unprecedented, it is at least shocking to the past and present~!
Not to mention wearing a lantern, it’s hard to find even with a searchlight~!
Angus also knows that the Flying Eagle Group, run by Lorraine and Leo, is not short of money at all. Their Naian Salt Company subsidiary is now a major taxpayer in Naian Province.
After thinking that Leo's method was probably feasible, Angus couldn't help but lower his head and began to consider whether this method could be implemented in Nidel.
Angus frowned, lowered his head and thought hard, thinking: If the Governor of Lorraine was here, what would he do?
Thinking of this, Angus's mind lit up and he suddenly became cheerful: That's right! Such an unprecedented but extremely feasible method couldn't have been thought up by Leo alone.
At first glance, this method obviously has a very strong personal color of Lorraine. It is thoughtful and has complete control methods. It puts all things under its control and completely bypasses the group of people who may reach out. It is so powerful.
Allow others to intervene.
Completely Lorraine style!
Since it was the governor Lorraine who proposed it, and the two proprietresses were quite moved, Angus naturally made his decision immediately.
Isn't the golden rule of survival in officialdom just to satisfy your superiors?
Angus raised his head and faced Catherine and Adele, and said with a smile: "The method proposed by the young master is very feasible and will be beneficial to us in Naian."
As he spoke, Angus turned around and bowed deeply to Leo, saying: "On behalf of the tens of thousands of people affected by the disaster in Nidel, I would like to thank you for your kindness. This idea you came up with is truly wonderful!"
Leo scratched the back of his head with one hand, held his head high and laughed loudly. While waving his chubby little hands, he said modestly: "It's nothing, hahahaha~!"
Catherine looked at Leo tapping his little foot to the ground, looking so happy and forgetful, that she really wanted to catch him and ravage him.
"It's rare for you to do something serious, so I'll let you be proud this time." Catherine curled her lips and thought bitterly.
"Okay, let's settle it first." Catherine nodded and agreed to Leo's plan, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of Yan Hong's beautiful lips. She changed the subject and said, "But..."
When Leo heard Catherine's "no", his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: It's going to be bad.
Catherine crossed her fingers and leaned on the table with her chin propped up. Like the big sister Red Wolf, she looked at Leo with a smile and said, "You are not allowed to make money from disaster relief this time. I will only pay you the cost price."
Leo cried out: "How can that be done? Without profits, there is no motivation. You are discouraging businessmen."
Catherine Hexi looked at Leo and said leisurely: "If you dare to ask for profits, I will collect taxes from you."
"Ah?" Leo's mouth froze as he grew older. He was stunned for a full minute. Then he lowered his head in despair and said helplessly "Oh". Leo knew that fighting between him and Catherine would never be easy.
You have to eat the fruit, even a powerful person like Lorraine must obey when Catherine yells at her.
Leo murmured in a low voice: "A good man won't fight with a woman, I'll let you do it this time."
Catherine heard Leo's thoughts and said angrily: "The future of the empire is yours, whether it is Nedel City or Ruman City, it will all be yours from now on. There is no reason to make your own money.
Also, if the people knew that you, the heir, were making money from them, what would they say about you?
I just don’t let you make money. It’s good that I don’t let you put money into it.”
Leo scratched his head and thought for a while, finally sighed, nodded resignedly, and said, "I understand."
Catherine gave a satisfied "hmm" and said: "The ugly thing is up front, I also know the twists and turns you and Lorraine have made, and the hidden profits. Even if there is no profit, you must give me a guarantee
Quality, if anything goes wrong, I will charge you a tax rate of 300%."
Leo said angrily: "I know, don't worry, you have already said that the future of the empire belongs to me, will I poach myself? I can still tell this clearly. Besides, our Feiying Company has always
I regard quality as my life, even if I lose money, I will not destroy my own brand."
Seeing that Leo spoke categorically and looked like a successful entrepreneur giving a report, Catherine was still a little uneasy, because Lorraine and Leo had really bad records and numerous criminal records. In such a long time, the two of them had never been together.
I've never tricked anyone.
Although Lorraine and Leo claimed that they were greedy and wanted to take advantage of them, both Catherine and Adele knew that Lorraine and Leo, a pair of living treasures, could never be completely trusted.
Catherine frowned and thought, and then she saw Milena sitting next to Leo. The little girl was looking at the angry Leo with a smile on her face.
Catherine's heart brightened, she thought of a way, and immediately said: "Melena."
Milena raised her head and said, "What's the matter? Sister Nicole."
Catherine smiled and said: "Disaster relief and reconstruction are important matters. Although it is left to Leo, there must be someone to supervise his execution. I will leave it to you. You will supervise Leo on my behalf and follow him at all times.
It's very important not to let him take advantage of any loopholes."
Leo clenched his fist angrily and protested loudly: "You are looking down on me and don't trust my credibility as a successful CEO."
Catherine rolled her eyes at Leo and said, "I just don't believe you, considering the good things you and Lorraine have done."
Melina heard that she had been entrusted with an important task. She was no longer unable to help with anything when everyone was busy. She felt extremely satisfied. She jumped up from the sofa, clenched her pink little fists, and said solemnly.
: "Sister Nicole, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Leo, I promise."
Leo looked at Catherine, then at Milena, and secretly cried out: "It's bad, if these two women join forces, will they still have a way to survive?"
At the moment, I held my little head in my hands and thought hard about countermeasures.
Looking at Leo's look, Catherine knew that this move would work, and said to Angus: "That's it, you bring a few relevant officials over tomorrow, and I'll ask the manager of the Flying Eagle Company to come and talk to you. I'll also
I will prepare a sum of money first as emergency relief expenses for the victims."
Angus knew that the matter was almost settled, he said "yes", bowed slightly and exited the study.
After Angus went out, Adele said "ouch" and lay lazily on the table, with one side of her face on the table.
He said sadly: "This costs money, and that also costs money. In the past, Lorraine went out to fight to make money, but now she spends money non-stop in this war. In just two months, more than two million have been spent."
The house was bombed again and needs to be renovated. I wonder what Lorraine will say about that?"
That expression was very much like a little girl complaining that she had spent all her pocket money.
Catherine was also stagnant, thinking that she had just renovated her house a few months ago and spent nearly 100,000 gold coins. Although Lorraine spent the money happily, she also lost money that time. She blushes when she thinks about it.
.
This time, even the walls were cracked, and the entire first floor was blown into pieces. I don’t know how much it will cost to repair.
Catherine, like Adele, said pitifully: "It seems that this time we can only use our own private money."
Adele looked at it and was extremely heartbroken: This money can buy so many Seris silks, so many Balins perfumes, so many Venetian mirrors, so many Willy's furs...
The more she thought about it, the more heartache she felt, and she was almost speechless. In the end, she just said "hmm" in an inaudible voice.
At this time, everyone in the study heard a clear and loud cry of "Hmm".
When Adele heard that voice, she was suddenly chilled.
She straightened up from the table and asked doubtfully: "What is the sound?"
Catherine also heard it. This voice was rarely familiar to them. Catherine wondered: "It seems to be a giant orc war beast. How could there be one here?"
The battle is over. The soldiers who went out to investigate have long reported that there are no Orc troops nearby. They have also captured hundreds of prisoners. Is it possible that there are Orc war beasts in the Governor's Mansion?
There was another crisp sound of "Hmm", and this time everyone in the study heard it clearly. It was indeed the cry of a giant war beast of an orc.
Catherine and Adele felt nervous, stood up suddenly, and shouted in surprise: "Something happened outside?"
Could it be... is there still a hidden enemy? Do you want to use that huge war beast to try another heart-breaking tactic?
At this moment, Leo and Melina looked at each other.
Leo smiled and shouted happily: "The sandwich bread I ordered has been delivered."
With that said, she picked up Milena, turned around and ran outside.
Catherine and Adele also quickly left the desk. They grabbed their weapons next to them. Catherine shouted: "Leo, don't run around."
He and Adele hurriedly chased Leo out, and when they reached the door, they shouted to the guardsmen guarding outside: "If there is an emergency, gather people, you follow Leo."
The Imperial Guard soldier pressed the long sword on his waist and hurriedly ran after Leo.
This cry also alarmed everyone in the Governor's Mansion. The guards and orcs stationed in the Governor's Mansion had been fighting for several days and were very familiar with this rough-skinned and thick-flesh giant beast.
The screams were caused by his heart tightening and he hurriedly ran out.
Catherine and Adele ran downstairs in a few steps and walked into the courtyard to take a look. They found hundreds of guards holding weapons in their hands and standing there blankly. Among the crowd of guards, there was a sound.
Another clear and loud cry.
It seemed that there was no danger, and Catherine and Adele breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they heard Leo's "ahaha" laughter from the crowd.
No need to think about it, it was Leo who did it again.
Catherine rolled up her sleeves and said angrily: "This little ruffian, just a few minutes after being serious, he caused trouble for me again."
Adele rubbed her eyebrows, burst into laughter, and said softly to Catherine: "This boy is really looking more and more like Lorraine."
Catherine and Dale walked through the crowd and saw Leo standing in front of a small giant beast, laughing proudly.
Melina hugged Leo's arm tightly and leaned on Leo's body. She was looking at the giant beast that was nearly a person tall in front of her with a nervous and excited expression.
Catherine's face turned dark. When she walked up to Leo, she hit him on the forehead with a bang. She pointed at the giant beast and said, "What's going on? Why did you bring the orc war beast into your home?"
"
Leo grinned and rubbed his head fiercely. He glared at Catherine and shouted: "Young war beast, the roar of the war beast makes you look very cultured. This kind of animal is called an elephant, which is unique to the grassland.
animal."
Catherine squeezed her fingers, made a pop-boom sound, and said coldly through her teeth: "I turned against you."
When General Philip saw that the two siblings were about to fight again, he immediately laughed and said loudly: "What's there to see? I haven't seen enough after fighting for several days. They've all dispersed. Go and do whatever you need to do."
The Imperial Guard soldiers turned around and left quickly with a sullen face, fearing that they would be late and suffer disaster.
Leo scratched his neck and said loudly: "Is that so? These animals have such good tempers and are very obedient. They still eat grass? Just look at it if you don't believe it."
