Three days before the Festival of Enlightenment, Dawn City was covered in snow and the streets were bustling with activity. Although the distributed supplies were few, everyone's face was filled with smiles.
From time to time, magic fireworks released by wizards bloomed in the falling snow. Children were building snowmen and having snowball fights on the streets. Horse-drawn carriages carrying wine and beverages crushed the snow, passing through the happily running students on holiday...
Outside the gate of Hua Palace, a blue dragon started to throw a tantrum again, but unfortunately this time he was facing Xia Lan.
"Xia Lan, come out and give me back my bank manager!
The King of Phaokes? Pah! I see you as the King of Conspirators, the King of Villains, the King of Liars…"
Arthurs will never forget that heavy day. He was eating hot pot and counting money when suddenly his house was robbed by Xia Lan.
When Weilin threw down the "Blue Dragon Bank's Three Hundred Year Plan" and said she was leaving, Arthurs hadn't reacted to what was happening before a hateful face hit his head.
Xia Lan sat in the office lobby, warming herself by the fireplace and reviewing documents, turning a deaf ear to the shouting and cursing outside.
Compared to this, what was even more annoying was Arsen in the hall, who was holding a small book and laughing "hahaha" from time to time.
Calling Arsen over, Xia Lan said angrily, "Arsen, everyone is training and learning with the masters and seniors, why are you still sitting here reading joke books?"
"Training? I've completed my mission for today. Master Kong even said I have good talent and am much better than my teacher."
"Then go and increase your strength. As the captain of the king's guard, you can't be too weak."
Arsen listened to Xia Lan's roar, shrank his head, put the slime that was frozen into ice in the corner next to the fireplace, and walked out helplessly.
You are so strong, you can use me.
"Wait a moment."
Hearing Xia Lan's cry, Arsen thought His Majesty would finally show some sympathy, but he just threw him three gold coins and said:
"Give these three gold coins to the blue dragon outside and tell him that Weilin is still his employee, but he's busy with the Ministry of Commerce and can't leave, so he's outsourced the Blue Dragon Bank work to him. This is your salary."
As soon as Xia Lan finished speaking, Arthurs, who heard the sound of gold coins colliding, flew in at supersonic speed.
"Do you take me for a thirty-year-old young dragon?"
Despite saying so, Arthurs still snatched the gold coins from Arsen's hand.
"Don't give me back the gold."
“Yes, yes.”
Arthurs held the gold coin tightly. Seeing this, Xia Lan leaned back in her chair and said,
"You can also outsource. I'll pay you three gold coins, and you can outsource two. That's still one gold coin left. Two gold coins can hire ten people based on the current market price in Dawn City."
Arthurs was very upset by the fact that Xia Lan looked like she was about to kneel down to express her gratitude. He always felt that something was wrong, but he had never encountered such a thing in all his experience and inherited memories.
I have people and I've made money, but I always feel something is wrong.
"Velin is different!"
Arthurs' dragon eyes flashed with sparks of wisdom, he figured it out!
Although Weilin was his employee, she outsourced the work to him, and he could outsource the work to others, but Weilin was still gone!
Arthurs pouted, tilted his face, and after struggling for a long time, he said, "It will cost more."
Xia Lan thought that the blue dragon had finally started to use its brains, and when he was about to get serious, this sentence almost broke his defense.
"How much?"
Arthurs stretched out all his dragon claws, thought for a moment, and then put his feet on the table again.
"Eight gold coins?"
Arthurs shook his head, looking like he was joking.
"Just eight gold coins, and I want to buy it out."
Just when Arthurs was about to ask for 80,000 gold coins, Xia Lan pulled out a piece of white paper from the table and calculated for Arthurs:
"First of all, Weilin is a woman. She always feels unwell for a few days every month. I should give her some time off. She'll get married and have children in the future, so she'll need maternity leave and other things. Taking care of the children and tutoring them will definitely distract her attention..."
And her brother, Luo Wei, is in the Storm Knights, and he often has to participate in dangerous tasks. What if he suddenly dies one day and Weilin can't accept the blow? That's also a risk..."
Arthurs finally flew out dejectedly. Although he had eleven more gold coins in his hand, he still couldn't beat Xia Lan.
"I still need to learn. My inherited memory is too weak. I can't even defeat a human."
After returning to the Blue Dragon Bank, Arthurs thought about today's failure and decided to work hard to make Xia Lan look bad next time. Then he posted a recruitment advertisement at the door of the Blue Dragon Bank.
"We are hiring one bank manager and three tellers. Requirements: The manager must be male, middle-aged, married, have children, and be ambitious.
Tellers must be female, beautiful, single, have no plans to get married within three years, and be able to do arithmetic..."
A middle-aged man with a decadent and melancholy look passed by Blue Dragon Bank and stopped after seeing the advertisement above.
"A bank... a place called Faox that specializes in lending? The Boravice market is too small, and all profitable industries are controlled by the Ministry of Commerce. There's no way I can rise again. I can only look for opportunities after the Enlightenment Festival and when the shipping route opens...
Forget it, let's go here and try it out first, let the children eat meat, and then see if we can get some investment for the future."
The middle-aged man straightened his collar, his demeanor changed drastically, and he strode in.
"City-state, I will rise again here. I will repay the shame you paid me for selling my family into slavery."
The middle-aged man walked in, which made Arthurs' eyes light up while he was lying on the counter chewing raisins. Under the dragon's eyes, no one could be more elegant than him. He only saw a man who was about to be crushed by life.
