Chapter 996 Very convincing (seeking a monthly ticket)
Leo lifted up his dusty military boots and kicked the office door without hesitation.
Suddenly there was a loud "clang" sound.
In the room, Catherine is sitting in front of a large desk, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, looking down at the documents in her hand, and from time to time she picks up the new Royal Limited Edition pure gold Parker pen produced by Flying Eagle Company, and writes fluently there
Write one or two lines of text on the file.
She was immersed in work when she was suddenly startled by the sound. Her hand shook and her pen drew a long black line on the document.
Catherine looked up and became furious.
She slammed the table and stood up angrily. Her beautiful big eyes were round and she stared at Leo angrily.
Lorraine was very calm and didn't even raise her eyes.
Just by hearing this noise, Lorraine knew that Leo had come in. Among all the peacekeeping troops, Leo was the only one who would knock on the door like this.
Anyone whose office is kicked in like this several times a day, with dirty footprints all over the door, should have gotten used to it.
Lorraine could even tell how Leo was feeling at that time from the force of the kick on the door.
Basically, the louder the movement and the more domineering it is, the better the rogue Leo is in a good mood.
If Leo suddenly knocks on the door one day, then shrinks his neck and comes in quietly, then no need to ask, this scoundrel must have gotten into trouble and came to Lorraine to take refuge.
Or he had already been treated well, came here with a self-reflection letter, confessed his mistake to Catherine, and conducted a profound examination that touched the depth of his soul in front of her.
However, judging from today's intensity, this gangster must be extremely happy now.
Lorraine secretly wondered: Could it be that this gangster went out to pick up money?
At this time, Catherine was already trembling. She put her left hand on her slender waist and her right hand pointed at Leo's nose. She put on the heroic posture of the exterminator and scolded angrily: "Not polite at all~!
How many times have I followed you and knocked on the door when you came in? Why do you never remember it?
I think my skin is itchy again. I need to help it improve my memory~"
As soon as he rolled up his sleeves, he was about to go over, use his special skills, and cook a large bowl of fried pork slices with bamboo shoots for Mr. Lei.
Is this why she is so angry?
You know, although Lorraine and Catherine Adele are imperial nobles, in order to respond to the call of the Imperial Propaganda Department to "close to the masses,"
Therefore, they occasionally, er, often, often at certain times, put down their identities and seriously experience the spiritual and cultural life of the grassroots people, deeply understand what the masses think, and care about their concerns.
For example, I would play some games in the office in broad daylight that should be played in all offices, or even necessary. They are normal, healthy, fun, elegant, and motivating games.
For example, sply the boss and the female secretary, the boss and the female secretary, the boss and the female secretary, etc.
Although in this office, as long as you give an order, few people in the world dare to come forward and disturb you. Unfortunately, this is obviously not the case for Leo.
What's even more unfortunate is that this gangster has no sense at all.
Therefore, sometimes when everyone is having fun, Leo is like a broom star with a lingering influence, suddenly appearing out of nowhere and banging on the door with all his strength.
Either I'm looking for my elder sister, or I'm looking for my boss.
Catherine and others who often do it have rapid heartbeats, mental stress, and endocrine disorders.
At this time, Leo would get a good beating.
However, because he had been beaten too much, Mr. Lei didn't care at all. After the beating, he slapped his butt, and the next time he went his own way, he didn't remember it at all.
,,
At this time, seeing that the volcano Catherine was about to erupt, Leo would definitely not be able to escape after this beating. But what surprised Lorraine was that the gangster was not nervous at all. He had no intention of escaping at all, and even
He even walked in swaggeringly.
I saw the fat man with his hands behind his back, his chest tinted, his head held high, black sunglasses on his nose, and his nostrils almost pointing towards the ceiling. He didn't even look at Catherine, but glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
, snorted softly.
Then he walked into the office with swaying steps, pausing every step, like a real big shot.
Bai next to him also raised his head proudly, his nose was not hanging down, but curled up.
Luo Yao could hardly believe his eyes. Normally, when Kailuolin shouted angrily, Leo was immediately scared to death and ran over to say hello.
Is this situation too abnormal today?
Seeing Leo's appearance, even Catherine was stunned and thought: Is this stupid?
She also forgot to lose her temper, pulled Lorraine's sleeve, and whispered: "Did I misunderstand, is Leo... okay?"
Lorraine glanced at Leo's appearance and seemed to see a tail sticking up like an antenna behind Leo's butt.
Lorraine curled her lips and said: "It's okay, but this is going to be really bad~! Everyone, please ignore him."
Although she didn't know what happened, Lorraine could be sure that Leo didn't know how proud he felt at the moment.
The more at this time, in order to show his domineering spirit, maturity and stability, indifference to fame and wealth, lifting weights with ease, etc., and showing off his arrogance, the more Leo pretended not to care.
However, his pretentious demeanor made it obvious at a glance that something was abnormal.
When I entered the room, I was still wearing sunglasses, and my nostrils were almost touching the roof.
Especially when he was walking without looking at the road, his foot hit the leg of the table. He grinned in pain and wanted to shout out, but in order to maintain his sultry demeanor, he endured it. He could be seen through the black lenses.
There was a layer of white tears in the originally bright and dark eyes.
Damn, deserve it~!
Looking at Leo's appearance, Catherine was trying to hold back her laughter. She said "oh" lightly, nodded slowly, looked at Leo and thought to herself: What's weird about you today?
Catherine sat down again and continued to approve her own documents without looking at Leo.
Leo was extremely brave at this time. He endured the pain and continued to assume the posture of an uncle. He walked a few steps for two minutes, and finally swayed to the edge of the table, holding the hand in his hand.
The contract was thrown on the table with a slap. However, it was obvious that the position was not ideal. He thought for a moment, then reached out and pushed it quickly. It was right under Catherine's eyes.
Then Shi Shiran sat down across the table and secretly rubbed his feet, but he was afraid of being seen by others, so he quickly crossed his legs again. He leaned on the back of the chair with a look of twenty-five or eighty thousand.
appearance.
But after sitting for a while, he found that everyone ignored him at all.
Leo frowned slightly, put his fists to his mouth, and coughed.
Still no one paid any attention to him, even Catherine seemed not to hear him.
Leo pouted and said to himself: "Water~!" Catherine immediately stopped writing, blinked in confusion, then looked at Lorraine and said: "Did you hear what someone just said?
?”
Lorraine was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Yes, someone seemed to be talking just now. It still sounded like Leo's voice. But why can't I see anyone?"
As he spoke, he glanced aimlessly back and forth in the room, completely rude to the fat person.
Leo immediately became anxious and said, "I'm here, what are we looking for?" But Catherine's eyes passed over him blankly, as if he were transparent, and then she looked at Lorraine and murmured
Authentic: "Yes, I heard Leo's voice too. He seems to be in this room."
He stood up, called Leo's name, and looked around the room.
At this time, Lorraine also stood up to help.
The two of them kept searching in the room, under the table, on the cabinet beside it, behind the chair, in the drawer of the desk, on the waste paper next to it...
Huh? What's going on? Am I invisible? They can't see me? Leo couldn't help but turned around and looked at Bai in confusion.
But Bai Bai blinked his big eyes and looked confused.
Leo calmed down for a moment, then stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Catherine's eyes. He found that she really couldn't see him. He immediately stuck out his tongue, raised his eyelids, and made a face. But it seemed that Catherine still couldn't see him.
No response.
Leo was surprised at first, then overjoyed. He reached out and reached for her wallet.
Bai Bai's eyes widened for a moment, and he suddenly discovered that the corners of Lorraine's mouth were slightly raised, and he was about to roll up his long nose and block it in front of his eyes, with a look on his face that he couldn't bear to see.
Sure enough, the sound of fingers tapping on some hard-shell object was heard in the room. At the same time, it was also accompanied by Leo's shrill scream.
After a while, it lowered its nose and saw Leo sitting on the chair with three or four big red and swollen bumps on his head.
Catherine calmly sat down behind the desk, looked at Leo, and said, "Have you gone crazy today?"
Lorraine watched Leo grinning and rubbing the bag on his head, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.
Leo glanced at him angrily, and then said: "Well, today I accidentally signed a contract with the Parthians."
"Huh?" Catherine grabbed the contract text that Leo still had on the table, scanned it quickly, pointed at the signature at the end of the contract, laughed, and said: "This contract is equivalent to signing in vain, this Marquis of Matta...
"
"He has a problem, I know,," Leo looked like a master from this world.
Catherine was a little confused and said: "..." Leo spread his hands and said: "I saw that marquis carrying more than a dozen diamonds as big as beans in his wallet when he went out. I guess that guy should be the crown prince of Parthia.
Menazis, Achaemenes.
Haven't you seen the portrait of the Parthian general that our old man used to make darts?
At least he looks a lot like him." Catherine suddenly sighed, rubbed Leo's head, and said, "Much smarter." Catherine herself just thought this guy was strange and hadn't thought about it more deeply, but Leo was
A few clues deduced the true identity of Marquis Matta. Catherine sighed in her heart, this is really grown up...Huh? There seems to be something wrong?
Catherine thought for a moment, raised her hand and grabbed Leo's collar and pushed it to the table. She said with a dark face: "Go to someone's wallet again~!" Leo said anxiously: "I'm looking for someone suspicious and asking about the enemy.
Let’s go, anyway, don’t give up Kai’s things for free, at most you can share half of them.” Catherine looked at Lorraine and said coldly: “Find me a stick.”
"Four-six~!"
Catherine snorted coldly, gritted her teeth and said: "At this time, I still don't know how to repent. Lorraine, find a thicker one." "Okay, give it all." Leo said quickly.
Catherine let go of Leo's collar, snorted, and clapped her hands gently.
Leo pouted and took something out of his pocket while muttering: "The rules of the road are that if you sit on the ground and divide the stolen goods, you only get 60%. At the end of the day, it's all in one pot. It's more ruthless than a robber." Then he took a handful of diamonds.
Throw it on the table.
Those diamonds were rolling back and forth on the table like a dozen bright stars.
Catherine ignored Leo's thoughts, swept all the diamonds into her hand, picked up one and looked at the light.
Catherine furrowed her eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "It's a second-grade product. It's okay for you to take one with you when you go out."
Leo said: "It's so thorny to eat fish for nothing, so I don't want to give it back to me."
Hold on, reach out and grab it.
Catherine held all the diamonds in her hands and said, "If you think so, I will give these things to Milena, Adele, Sister Vera and the others."
After finishing, he reached out and put it into his wallet.
Leo reluctantly watched what he had worked so hard for just fly away, and sighed with regret.
Catherine slapped Leo and said, "I'm here to educate. People's wallets are wrong. This is ill-gotten wealth." Leo rolled his eyes at Catherine and said, "Sister, you are smiling so happily.
Unconvincing."
Catherine was furious and raised her hand threateningly.
Leo immediately raised his hands in surrender and said: "Okay, okay. Now I am convinced and very convincing~!"
Lorraine turned over the contract of intent signed by Leo and the Crown Prince MacNazis, and said: "How did you fool this guy? These brats are so resistant to us.
We spent a lot of money on the Parthian side, so we can pry off some of the walls, and if we go out for a walk, we will take the blame for them."
Leo wiped his hair and said eloquently: "I'm interested in him. The guy with the nose looks like a baby at first glance, and the eggshells on his butt haven't faded off yet.
I told him that instead of letting others earn the money, we should earn it jointly with him, and he agreed."
Lorraine bounced the contract and said thoughtfully: "This is a big deal~!"
Catherine shook her head and said worriedly: "I understand the virtues of the Parthian people. They are just a bunch of unfamiliar dogs. The people of the Achaemenes family are smart enough, but they lack great wisdom and have no long-term vision.
When the company didn't make money at the beginning, they might have a good attitude. But once the company started making money, the cleverness of these Parthians became rampant.
By then, I guess they will definitely want to get rid of us."
Lorraine smiled nonchalantly and said: "Who are we? A large international trust business consortium. Real big capitalists.
After boarding our pirate ship, bah bah bah, and boarding our chariot, do they still expect to escape?
Don't worry, we have all the channels in our hands. Even if they want to go it alone, they don't have the conditions."
Leo rubbed his chin and chuckled: "Actually, it's not a bad idea if they get rid of us. By then, I can make them unable to sell a single product.
For a company that cannot collect its debts and cannot pay for goods, even if the emperor owes money, he still has to pay it back, regardless of whether he is an emperor.
When the time comes, you can imagine what will happen to him."
Lorraine nodded and said with a smile: "When the time comes, he will come back to ask for cooperation, but the conditions will not be what they are now."
"But now?" Leo said: "You have to give them a little sweetness first, so that they can smell the benefits."
Lorraine moved the chair next to Leo, hugged Leo, and said, "What are you going to do?"
Leo scratched his head and said: "I took them to see the artillery today. I found that these two guys were very interested in our cannon. Especially the old guy, he was very interested. But I deliberately made the price of the cannon very high.
It frightened them both.
I’m wondering if we should support them with ten artillery pieces for free~!”
Catherine shook her head and said, "Isn't this good? It would be embarrassing to let people in the country know about it."
Lorraine held down Catherine's hand and said thoughtfully: "It's not impossible. After all, we are both in the peacekeeping force. If we cover the artillery too tightly, other countries in the peacekeeping force will definitely have objections and will inevitably hold us back secretly.
.”
Leo said: "If nothing else, Queen Isabella has asked her father several times to buy artillery. Since she is an ally, she can't go through with it even if she refuses.
Aren't the latest artillery pieces going to be replaced soon? Artillery pieces with longer range and more power will soon be in place.
Instead of destroying the bulky old goods we have discarded, it is better to give them to them.”
Catherine snorted and said: "What if they turn the muzzle of the cannon and hit us? Moreover, what if these artillery fall into the hands of Hadou?"
Leo smiled disdainfully and said: "The artillery can be given free of charge, but the shells are not free.
With our technology, they can't do it.
I charge them at least 100 gold coins per shot, and I can only sell them ten rounds at most for each cannon, which makes these people miserable.
All artillery sent out must be accompanied by a weapons supervisor to supervise the use of the artillery and be responsible for destroying propellants and shells in emergencies.
We can also stipulate that artillery can only be used in peacekeeping forces. If anyone violates the rules, we will cut off his supply of artillery shells.
A cannon without shells is simply useless. Even if Hadou got it, he could only stare.
Spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of scrap metal and let them cry~!"
Catherine thought: "That's it, it's not impossible, but we should discuss it with dad first."
Leo waved his hand and said carelessly: "Don't worry, as long as you give a portion to Queen Isabella first, dad will definitely not object."
"That's true." Catherine tapped her round chin with her finger and murmured: "Well, the old man has been running too diligently to Queen Isabella recently."
Lorraine snorted, wondering if she should inform Grand Duke Julius that her baby daughter was going to go crazy and ask the Grand Duke to calm down for a few days.
But thinking about the fact that the Grand Duke picks up girls and drinks every day, leaving all the business to himself, Lorraine gave up on this idea in an instant, and this old guy should be taught a lesson.
