Li Aili: "???"
"Sister! I'm Fishernanki's cousin! My name is Denton Tankar!"
Goblin Bank Manager: "…………"
Li Aili: (⊙o⊙)
Lord of Danton, Danton Tankar, is a half-human, half-elf and one of the governors of Fisheranaki. He is also Fisheranaki's cousin and Leongor's cousin.
15 minutes later.
Ruby Moneybag, the goblin bank manager, whose head was swollen like a 'pig's head' with a bunch of bumps on it, used her small, green-haired paws to hold a charcoal pencil and shakily wrote down every word Li Ellie said in her little notebook.
Li Aili: "So, when you encounter a deadbeat who refuses to pay back his debts, you have to use 'extraordinary measures'."
"When it comes to debt collection, the key is to strike at the enemy's weak point."
What do nobles value most?
"It's about saving face!"
"You should know that these aristocratic deadbeats are like old cows; if you squeeze them, you'll eventually get some."
Ruby Moneybags quickly transcribed every word Ellie Li said.
"So, if you encounter someone who owes you money and won't pay it back, put up banners, scatter flyers all over the city, in short, use every method you can think of to attack their face."
"It is imperative that every intelligent race living within the borders of this country knows that the xxx nobleman is a deadbeat who refuses to pay his debts, is of low character, and is even less noble than a commoner."
"Of course, I'm just throwing out a few examples to get the ball rolling, and I'll just give a few examples that are actually feasible."
"As the bank manager, you can certainly innovate on the methods you can think of for efficient debt collection."
Ruby Moneybags stopped writing and fell into thought.
Li Aili guided the conversation at the right time, saying, "Look, once the problem of deadbeats is solved, you won't have any bad debts anymore."
"With no bad debts, you can get a higher interest spread as a reward for your hard work."
"With depositors free from worries, they are more willing to use their money to buy your wealth management products."
Ruby the Money Bag: [W-Is that so?!]
"Of course that's the case. I'm just asking you, given your bad debt ratio, would you dare use your own salary to buy your own financial products?"
Ruby Moneybag shook her head rapidly. "How could that be? I earned my money with my life!"
Li Aili: "..."
"Well, in short, you'll have to try it out yourself to see if my method works."
"Hey, I have a really good suggestion. You see, in the Kingdom of Clark, there's a client named Charlie Colan. I know he's one of your clients, right?"
"Why don't you use him as the subject of this experiment?"
The goblin bank in Denton is the closest to the Kingdom of Clark.
Ruby Moneybag happens to remember Viscount Charlie Coran.
After all, he was a fool, no, a philanthropist, who mortgaged his entire territory to borrow 100,000 gold coins.
Bank Manager Ruby's little hand, which was taking notes, paused slightly, and a nervous bubble appeared above her head:
Could it be... that there's been a problem with Lord Charlie Colan's loan?
Li Aili patted his shoulder meaningfully, "As far as I know, that lord may be facing a very big financial crisis."
...
Clark Kingdom, Kelan Manor.
“My dear, didn’t we agree to buy elf food one day a month?” The Lady, sitting at one end of the dining table, frowned slightly as she looked at the white bread in front of her.
Charlie Colan, sitting at the other end of the banquet table, rolled his eyes.
"I already told the ladies of the city that we're going to have an elven gourmet feast this week!" Yelena Coran angrily swept the white bread in front of her onto the ground.
Charlie Colan, his face grim, slammed down his knife and fork. "If you don't want to eat, get out! Go back to your parents' house! Look at the pig swill your brothers are eating now!"
Yelena Coran stared in disbelief at her husband's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face.
He looked at her as if she were a hideous monster.
Suddenly, a surge of grievance welled up inside Yelena, and she went berserk, grabbing the tablecloth and pulling it to the ground.
"It's all that bitch's fault! I know! You must have fallen for that bitch! Ever since you went to the duchy, you've changed your attitude towards me! Waaah!"
With a loud crash, all the cups and plates fell to the ground, making a jarring sound.
"I have given you an excellent heir!!"
"How did you propose to me?! Charlie! You bastard!"
Because Yelena went crazy and ripped the tablecloth, a bowl of thick soup in front of Charlie Coran spilled directly onto his fat thigh, scalding him so much that he jumped up as if springs had been pressed into his buttocks.
He could no longer bear it. He strode over to Yelena, who was still in a frenzy, raised his hand, and slapped her hard across the face.
"Smack—"
The world is quiet.
Yelena was slapped to the ground, feeling as if the sky had fallen. Her mind went blank as she stared blankly at her husband's gloomy face.
Look at yourself now!
Should I provide you with food from the elves to host a feast?
If you grow up to look like Ellie Nyssa, I'll feed you elf bread every day!
Comparing your food to Ellie Nice's?! Why don't you compare your looks to hers?!
"An heir? Don't forget I have two sons!"
"Waaaaah..." Yelena covered her face and ran out, sobbing uncontrollably.
Only after she left did the servants dare to cautiously come up and clean up the mess.
Charlie Colan sat back down and let out a long sigh.
"Jackson".
His butler hesitated before stepping forward, "Master."
"Has my sister still not gotten the money from His Majesty?"
The butler lowered his head slightly, "...The master is not here yet."
Charlie Colan frowned slightly. "Why is it so slow this time? What's going on?"
The steward stammered, "The Empress suddenly interfered..."
Bang--
Charlie Coran slammed his fist on the table. "Shit! Shit!! Everyone's against me!!!"
At that moment, a male servant walked in. "Master, a bunch of goblins have arrived outside. They say they're from the Goblin Bank and have come to... collect debts?"
