Ke Wen has sent people to inquire four times, but has not received a reply today. Now this maid has come, it seems that there is hope.
"Miss, does your lady have time to see me?"
Chris rolled her eyes, patted the dirt off her body, and then said impatiently:
"My lady is very busy and has no time to see you. If you really have nothing to do, go mining yourself. It's better than waiting here all the time."
Chris felt that Jun Shutong could easily find minerals, and that grown men like them would never lose to a girl. She felt even more disgusted with their dependence.
"Did your young lady say she wouldn't see me?" Ke Wen asked.
The guards had been quite kind to Ke Wen the previous times. They didn't let him go directly, but just asked him to wait. However, the girl's attitude today made him think there must be some misunderstanding.
"Miss, I came here sincerely to discuss cooperation with your young lady, and I have no intention of causing trouble."
"I know your lady is very busy, so I will wait here until she comes out to see me."
"Hmph. Whatever you say."
"However, you can wait, but you can't destroy any grass or trees here, especially the new houses in our base."
"Don't worry, young lady. We have our own tent and we won't enter your territory without permission."
Chris turned and left, returning to the iron mine camp.
In the camp tent, Jun Shutong was revising the blueprints, while Jun Yuchen was giving instructions and eating melon seeds beside him.
"Wrong again. How can the engine still run if you make such changes?"
"Forget it, let me do it. Otherwise, even if I revise the blueprint for three days and three nights, it won't be finished."
Jun Yuchen took the drawing and erased Jun Shutong's wild ideas.
"Then I'll leave all the drawings and designs to you. I don't really understand them anyway."
"It's all right, but you have to explain it clearly to those stubborn dwarves. I'm afraid they'll go crazy and protest from time to time."
"Don't worry, the dwarves are all fanatics of design and casting. They will only praise your invention and will never hold you back."
The two men agreed that Jun Yuchen would negotiate with the dwarves on all matters related to design and construction, while Jun Shutong would only be responsible for providing manpower, material resources, financial resources, as well as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Ironmaking, a highly technical job, should be left to professionals. She is in charge of logistics and mining.
"Miss, there are several people claiming to be from the Holy See who are here to see you."
"I have asked them to wait outside."
The so-called outside is a temporary platform surrounded by silk cloth, with some simple tables, chairs and tea sets placed in the middle. It was built to receive these uninvited guests.
"Oh, I'm busy now. Let's talk later."
"yes."
The drawing design task had been handed over to Jun Yuchen, so she didn't have anything important to deal with. She was just dragging them along.
These people have been monitoring the camp for such a long time before showing up. Jun Shutong is not someone who is easy to talk to. She wants to see how patient the people from the Holy See are.
"Let's go to the base and meet them."
Jun Shutong planned to go to the base instead of going outside. He planned to meet Ke Wen first. After all, there was a first come first served principle.
Everyone in Xiyue had been waiting for several days, but this person from the Holy See wanted to see her as soon as he arrived. No way.
When he arrived at the base, Jun Shutong always felt that something was missing, as if the light around the base had become much brighter.
"Where are Coven and his group?"
"Miss, they are stationed a mile away. They have been quite well behaved these past few days. No one has wandered around, and no one has spied on us."
"Very good, then let's go meet him!"
"yes."
Yingying led the way in front, and Chris followed stealthily behind. Jun Shutong and his group soon arrived at where Kewen was stationed.
The ground was uneven, but the tents were neatly arranged, the campfires were in a straight line, and even the clothes hanging on the lines were facing the same direction.
Jun Shutong was deeply moved, as if he saw the shadow of his former military career.
Soon, Ke Wen came out in a hurry.
The moment he saw Jun Shutong, he felt that his previous preconceived prejudices were somewhat ridiculous.
When he saw Chris appearing like a beggar, he felt that the maid was like her master. If the maid was so sloppy, how could the master be any better?
But now, not only was there no beggar maid in front of him, but this Miss Jun was also too beautiful!
The girl before him possessed a distinguished temperament and stunning beauty. Her inky black hair flowed softly down her shoulders, smooth as black satin. Her fair skin resembled mutton-fat jade, nearly transparent in the sunlight. Her large, watery eyes, bright and clear, resembled the dazzling stars in the night sky. Her oval face, with its soft lines, exuded a childlike tenderness and innocence.
And the maidservant beside her, with delicate features, white clothes as white as snow, and extraordinary temperament, was completely different from the little beggar before.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this master and servant are fairies.
"My name is Ke Wen, nice to meet you, Miss Jun."
Ke Wen performed aristocratic etiquette to Jun Shutong, which was a courtesy and respect.
Although he himself is also a nobleman, in comparison with the other party, he is a down-and-out nobleman, and an oppressed nobleman at that. Now he needs help from the other party, so he is naturally more humble.
"General Ko, there's no need to be so polite."
"I wonder why the general insisted on seeing me?"
After waiting for so long, he finally saw his master. Ke Wen said bluntly without saying anything:
"To be honest, Miss Jun, I'm here on the orders of His Majesty the King of Xiyue to discuss a mining partnership with you."
