Provence Manor

On the second floor, in the luxurious study.

The three members of the Greenman family sat on the sofa. Sam Greenman, with his shaved beard, looked much younger, but he was sitting there pretending to be calm.

The young man Evan Greenman was fidgeting, looking panicked.

Only the young woman, Mira Greenman, was relatively calm.

They were all served tea and snacks, but only Mrs. Mira drank the tea and ate the snacks.

When Luo Yi entered, the three of them immediately stood up. He didn't pay much attention to it and casually waved his hand, asking them to sit down.

He sat opposite the three of them, rubbing his brows to relieve his fatigue.

Even for him, this banquet was exhausting.

It's not physical, but psychological. When communicating with this group of old foxes, every time you open your mouth and every word you say, you have to think carefully.

He actually doesn't like this kind of occasion, at least not in this life.

However, there are some things that cannot be done without doing anything!

There was a moment of silence in the air until Luo Yi felt better. He then lowered his arm, looked up at the three people, and said, "I'm sorry. As you can see, there's been a lot going on today. I've been neglectful!"

The young man, Evan Greenman, quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. We haven't attended such a high-profile banquet before, so we should thank you for inviting us."

Luo Yi nodded, but then slowly shook his head. He said, "The banquet can allow you to meet a lot of people, but making those people remember you is the real skill!"

"Young people, it's better to participate less!"

Mira Greenman suddenly said, "Mr. Roy, you seem younger than Evan!"

Luo Yi raised his head, glanced at the young woman, and said as a matter of course: “So, I almost never attended the banquet.

This is the first time, and I’m the one hosting it!”

With just one sentence, Mira was speechless. She didn't suspect that Luo Yi had deceived her. There was really no need to do so.

However, Luo Yi didn't have much energy to exchange pleasantries with them. He said directly, "I called you here today for the reason you can probably guess. I've set my sights on the Greenman factory and want to buy it."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and Maruna handed him a document.

Luo Yi took it, threw it in front of them, and said, “This is our assessment of the Greenman factory, with a total value of 5,000 gold tyres.

Each of you will receive over 1,600 gold tyres, which is absolutely a windfall for you."

The oldest, Sam Greenman, picked up the document, opened it, and scanned it. His hand, which was holding the document, sank into it and was even deformed from holding it too tightly.

But people are always greedy. When he raised his head, he said, "Mr. Luo Yi, I admit that the price you offer is very tempting.

However, according to our inquiries, a small magic energy pool alone is worth five thousand gold tyres.

plus three universal power machines, workshops, and various other machinery.

So, isn't five thousand a bit too cheap?"

Luo Yi laughed and shook his head: "You are talking about the price of a brand new magic energy pool, the starting price, and this is a second-hand one.

The magic energy pool also has a service life. The one at the Greenman factory has been used for a long time, so a discount is inevitable.

This is true for both the universal power machine and the factory building. Perhaps the only thing that hasn’t depreciated is the factory land.”

After a pause, Luo Yi continued, "Of course, you can also go out and ask around to see if there are other people who need this factory. If you can negotiate a higher price than me, then just ignore what I said."

"But what if we run it ourselves? After all, the factory was operating well and doing good business before this."

Sam still refused to give up, and Roy almost laughed out loud: "You are so old, why are you still so childish?"

"Do you think business is easy?"

"You all came to my party today and met so many people, but didn't you notice that I've been working so hard for so long, and it's only now that I can say that my business is flourishing?"

“If I remember correctly, the Greenman factory produced rails for tracks, and there was more than one company producing rails in Auckland.

And the Caroline Magic Energy Factory, do you think that after Neely's death, the factory's business wouldn't be snatched away?"

"You can try, but be prepared to lose all the wealth you inherited from Neely Greenman. Then, perhaps, I will spend less."

Having said this, Luo Yi was reluctant to say anything more. He was too tired today and wanted to have a good rest.

But just as he was about to say goodbye, the young man Evan Greenman suddenly said, "I agree!"

"What?"

The one who spoke was Maruna. He was the first to communicate with the three of them, and he knew that the young man was the most timid.

But unexpectedly, he would be the first one to agree!

The young man Evan Greenman was the most decisive at this time. He said firmly, "I agree to sell the Greenman Factory at this price. Of course, this is the part that belongs to me.

However, I have an additional request."

Luo Yi became interested and asked, "What do you want?"

"I need you to arrange for someone to take me back safely. I don't want to die on the road."

This time, Luo Yi really looked up to the young man. He asked, "Is that all?"

"That's all! I trust you won't embezzle."

Luo Yi smiled and said, "You are a smart man. I agree to your request. I will arrange a team for you to protect you and return to your hometown safely.

At the same time, I will help you conceal the amount of wealth you have. As for the future, it depends on you."

"Thank you, thank you very much!"

Luo Yi tilted his head slightly, looked at the young woman Mira Greenman, and asked, "What do you think?"

Mira raised her head slightly, her manners showing some elegance: "I can only ask for one thousand gold tyres."

"But what?"

"I hope to have your protection!"

Luo Yi's smile faded and he asked, "What trouble did you get into outside?"

"I have an unhappy family. My parents are dead and my husband is an alcoholic who likes to beat his wife.

Fortunately, we don't have children.

I am about to inherit a large fortune, but my husband will never let it go.

He will definitely come after me, but I believe that will be nothing to someone like you!"

Luo Yi shook his head slightly: "For me, it is indeed nothing, but for you who inherited the estate, it is also nothing!"

"Just hire a random mercenary to beat your husband to a pulp, and the problem will be solved.

That way, it won't cost more than a gold tyre!"

"To be precise, someone would do that for two silver tyres, but I need more!"

Mira raised her head slightly, and her sapphire eyes met Luo Yi's. Luo Yi seemed to be able to see the endless ambition burning in them.

"Mr. Luo Yi, I am not willing to live an ordinary life. I want to control my own destiny, I want to change my future, I want to climb higher and higher step by step, to the point where others look up to me.

So, I hope you can give me a chance!"

"To stand out and change one's destiny, what a wonderful wish! Nine and a half out of ten people think so.

Madam Mira, you are even more greedy than I thought!"

Luo Yi's tone became serious, and his slightly narrowed eyes even took on a breathtaking majesty.

Evan and Sam felt that Loy was so powerful that they could not look directly at him. They could not help but lower their heads and tremble.

Mira, though afraid, still tried to raise her head. She said, "I am proficient in three languages, I have read hundreds of books, I can do accounting, and I am familiar with the laws of the Habsburg Empire.

I knew the importance of meditation, so I hired someone to teach me for a month. Then, I spent a year getting started, and another two years accumulating my magic power.

Until now, I don't know any magic and have never used a magic pistol.

However, I should be considered an incompetent magic apprentice."

"What I need is an opportunity, a platform. I hope Mr. Roy can help me change my destiny and class."

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment. He saw ambition and determination in Mira's eyes. Many people said that it was wrong to be too ambitious.

But in fact, ambition is the driving force for a person to move forward.

After a slight pause, he asked again: "Are you telling the truth?"

Mira was breathing heavily, her chest heaving violently. Although she was wrapped tightly in clothes, everyone suddenly realized that she was actually worthy of the description of "mountains and green mountains".

After a long while, she asked, "Which one are you talking about?"

"Everything you said above, including that you are a magic apprentice."

Mira didn't reply, but ripples suddenly appeared around her, like a ring, brushing against everyone's face.

That was a superficial release of magic power, a very crude method, and it had no lethality.

However, it illustrates two issues. First, Mira does have magic power, and second, her magic power is not weak.

At this moment, Luo Yi made the decision and said, "From today on, you are my employee."

"Your current task is to follow Lilia Lightninger and help her with all the trivial matters."

"Besides that, I will help you get an audit certificate at the Philante School of Magic. You can use the certificate to study any course you are interested in."

"If one day you find the direction to move forward, tell me and I will hire a special teacher for you."

At this moment, Mira stood up in an instant, her eyes red and a little excited. She tried for a long time before saying, "Mr. Luo Yi, please give me more guidance in the future."

"I'll give you a chance, but I need your loyalty!"

"If you ever want to leave, you can tell me and I will let you go.

But I don’t want anything unpleasant to happen.”

"yes!"

At this point, two people had reached an agreement. Roy turned his head again and looked at Sam Greenman, and everyone looked at him.

"Now, tell me your choice?"

Sam wanted to continue the fight, but when he met everyone's gaze, all the courage he had finally mustered was gone.

"I, I can't even sell it!"

"Finally you're smart for once!"

I miss home, everyone has to give me a reason!
