Before evening, Lini came to the Green Building. I don't know whether he really believed that there was no decent wine in the Green Building or for other considerations, but he actually brought ten bottles of wine, which stunned Oddo.

Just like Helen and the others' impression when they first walked into the Green Building, Lini was greatly shocked by the green plants all over the Green Building, and then walked into the restaurant under the "protection" of Woolley and Oddo.

"Wu Lai, are you in such a hurry to drink?" Lini was somewhat dissatisfied with Wu Lai for bringing him into the restaurant as soon as he arrived. According to the rules, Wu Lai, the host, should take him around the Green Building for a tour, and then the host and the guest should sit in the reception room for a while, chatting about business and personal matters, and when the butler came over to ask for instructions, they would laugh and stand up to go to the restaurant to enjoy a feast.

However, Wu Lai actually skipped all the previous steps for him.

"Deputy Dean Lini, you are too late." When Wu Lai said this, Lini was stunned, thinking, Wu Lai, are you blaming me? However, Wu Lai's next words did not contain any complaint: "I know that you, Vice Dean Lini, particularly like to eat the silver-backed fish from the deep pool fifty miles southwest of Assyria. I arranged for someone to go there early in the morning. Thanks to you, after working hard for most of the day, we finally brought back two big, plump silver-backed fish. I thought again, what kind of silver-backed fish recipes have you not eaten before? After thinking about it, it is best to fillet the fish and cook it in hot pot..."

"Shabu-shabu? Hot pot?" Lini was confused, thinking what kind of eating method is this? "Yes, shabu-shabu, slice the silverback fish into thin slices, put it in the boiling soup and roll it up, it's fresh and fragrant." Wu Lai said as he walked, "But I didn't know you would come so late, so the fish slices were too early, so the taste must be a little discounted."

So that's how it is. Lini nodded, looking eager to try. He usually ate fish either grilled or pickled, and had never heard of this way of eating, but it sounded delicious.

Before he even reached the restaurant entrance, Lini was attracted by the rich aroma of food. He walked into the restaurant and nodded to Helen, Ye Renwu and Loli who came to greet him. Then he saw a strangely shaped copper vessel in the middle of the table. In the vessel, soup was boiling and the aroma was overflowing...

"Vice President Lini, please." Wu Lai said with a smile.

Rini nodded, a hint of a smile on her face.

Although the shabu-shabu fish slices were unique and delicious, Lini stopped eating after only a few slices and said, "Let's put your lessons aside for the past few days, Wu Lai. Your progress is a little slower than I expected. This is not like your style. And it seems to disappoint me."

"Slow?" Wu Lai put down the bread in his hand in surprise and handed it to Lini with an innocent look, as if to say, "How could you think that?"

Lini was startled, thinking, isn't that right? The little girl next to him turned her face away, trying not to laugh.

"Vice President Lini, compared to our previous speed, we are now flying at the speed of a swift." Wu Lai said seriously, "For so many days, we have been busy from morning till night, holding meetings, discussing, and thinking. Even our rest time has been squeezed out..."

Helen quietly turned her face to the side so that Lini wouldn't see her expression. Ye Renwu tried her best to endure it. In order to divert her attention, she pinched herself several times in the past moment.

Oddo found an excuse to get some wine and left. When he left the table, his shoulders kept shaking and the gaps between his fingers covering his mouth made "puff" and "hiss" sounds.

After hearing what Wu Lai said, Lini was a little speechless. Originally, he had no intention of accusing Wu Lai of anything. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to express his attitude and give him a reminder. He didn't expect that this guy would actually feel wronged.

However, this trend cannot be allowed to grow. After thinking this, Lini cleared his throat and said, "If you are so busy, why did you come up with a God-given playing card? I heard it's a toy?"

"Deputy Dean Lini said it was a gift from God, so it didn't take up any time for work." Wu Lai smiled and placed a brand new deck of playing cards on the dining table. "This is the God-given playing cards. It is the result of my cooperation with the Kochi family. It will soon be popular throughout the Assyrian territory. I have no doubt about this."

Wu Lai pointed at Loli and said, "Let me introduce you to Loli Kochi. She is the cooperation representative sent by the Kochi family of Saipan City-State."

Lori smiled and nodded.

"When I was chatting with Loli in the afternoon, I mentioned you, Vice Dean. I said that I was able to become a special student and take on such an important job, all thanks to your appreciation and trust, Vice Dean Lini. So Loli gave me a suggestion, which is to give the exclusive agency rights of the God-given playing cards to you, Vice Dean Lini. If I remember correctly, there are still many people from Vice Dean Lini's Monte family in the Blue Top City-State. As long as you nod, all the sales of the God-given playing cards in the Blue Top City-State will go through the hands of people in your Monte family. Vice Dean Lini, you only need to designate a special person." Wu Lai said with a smile.

"City-State exclusive... agency rights?" Lini was a little confused, but he vaguely felt that it seemed to be a good thing.

"Yes, exclusive agency rights. To put it simply, within the Blue Top City-State, there is only one place where people can buy the God-given playing cards, and that is from the person you designated, Vice President Lini. It doesn't matter whether he opens a store or uses some other method." The smile on Wu Lai's face became more intense.

"I still don't quite understand." Rini stroked his beard. In fact, he roughly understood it, but he hoped that Woolley could be more specific.

"Deputy Dean Lini, conservatively speaking, this agency right can bring your family an additional income of approximately 10,000 gold coins per year." Loli interrupted with a smile. Although 10,000 gold coins did not sound like a lot, in reality many small noble families could not reach this number in their entire lives.

Lini frowned slightly and asked, "Why did you decide this?" This is where Lini's caution lies. Although Lini is not as serious and old-fashioned as the outside world says when he gets along with Wu Lai and other special students, it does not mean that he ignores distance and dignity.

"In addition to thanking Vice President Lini for training me, the most important thing is that I want to use the family power of Vice President Lini to open up the market of Blue Roof City-State. However, the benefits are equal." Wu Lai replied with a smile.

After hearing the answer, Lini's brows relaxed. "Now I understand everything. OK, I have no problem with it. Although I don't know where you get such great confidence from, the name God-given playing cards sounds good. I agree."

"That's great, Loli." Wu Lai laughed, "Go and get the agency agreement."

"Okay." Loli smiled and went straight away.

Lini was stunned and thought, is there a way to play like this?

Just as he was thinking this, Oddo came in with two bottles of wine: "Deputy Dean Lini, it seems that these two bottles of wine are for celebration."

Ye Renwu sighed and said, "Vice President Lini, Wu Lai is really respectful to you. When I first heard about the agency rights, I begged Wu Lai for a long time but he ignored me. Is my Seton family so bad?"

Lini laughed, and a sense of superiority emerged involuntarily - the Sidon family was also in the Blue Dome City-State, but compared with Lini's family, it was much worse, because the Sidon family was a new upstart in the Blue Dome City-State, while the Monte family was an old aristocratic family. Although nearly half of the direct descendants had migrated to Assyria, the Monte family's appeal in the Blue Dome City-State was still second to none.

However, what Ye Renwu said just now was just a support, and there was really no other meaning.

As soon as the wine was opened, Loli came back with the agreement. When Wu Lai took the agreement and handed it to Lini, Helen, who had been silent, smiled and said, "Congratulations to Vice President Lini. You may not know that just this afternoon, three or four groups of people came to Wu Lailindo to ask for cooperation. But he said that this first copy must be left for you."

"Oh?" Lini was startled, and there was a hint of depth in his eyes when he looked at Wu Lai.

After reading the agreement, Lini nodded approvingly. This agreement was slightly different from the traditional contract format in the Assyrian territory, but the terms were clear and straightforward, clearly dividing the responsibilities of both parties, and it was very fair.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Very good." Lini said, "I have no objection. I can give you the 10,000 gold coins deposit mentioned in the agreement tomorrow."

"To gain the trust of Vice President Lini makes Wu Lai more happy than making a hundred times the profit." Wu Lai responded with a smile. The little girl next to him put the pen and sealing wax in front of Lini with great insight.

"Well, your efficiency is really good." Lini laughed, picked up the pen, and added, "If the clay tablet can be so fast, I won't worry about it."

"I was just about to tell you about this." Wu Lai said with a smile, "Starting tomorrow, we will officially start the clay tablet work. We will work from morning till night every day. It will be tiring, but it will not take long to complete the first stage. The rest is the printing part. So, Vice President Lini, in order to ensure the progress, you can allocate the second part of the money to me now."

Lini's hands trembled and he almost broke the pen: "Again?"

Wu Lai saw that the agreement had been signed, so he helped melt the paint wax and said with a smile, "Deputy Dean Lini, you are the one who asked us to speed up the progress."

Lini was startled, then sighed and took out the seal...

The next morning, Wu Lai, Helen, Odo and Ye Jianwu drove a carriage into the academy...

Naturally, Loli would not follow. The affairs of the Citizen Academy had nothing to do with her, so of course she would not care. What's more, she was also busy - sitting in the Green Building waiting to negotiate agency matters with the nobles who came to visit. Since Wu Lai put up an advertisement in the "physical store" yesterday, six groups of people came to inquire about the details yesterday afternoon and evening alone. According to Wu Lai, these people would become the outstretched fingers of the God-given playing cards.

What's the ad? We're looking for agents.

When Wu Lai and the other two left the academy before dusk, they all looked exhausted. Although the rubbing work was fast, it was still physical work. However, Wu Lai's work today was only half done. After returning to the Green Building, he had to sort out the order of today's rubbings, hand them over to the woodblock slaves, and then guide them in typesetting.

Before leaving, Rini asked Oddo to carry several large leather belts onto Wu Lei's carriage - in addition to the 10,000 yuan agency deposit, the remaining 50,000 yuan was the advance payment he promised to Wu Lei last night.

After returning to the Green Building and taking a short rest, Wu Lai called Klee, Monica and Hippo, and asked the three of them to help divide the 30,000 gold coins into three bags, and then carried them into the rooms of Helen, Odo and Night Blade Dance respectively.

"What is this?" Oddo asked.

"Profits from the clay tablet work," Woolley replied.

"That's too much. No, I didn't actually do anything, so even if I wanted it, I couldn't take so much," Oddo declined.

"Odo, you have to get used to treating me as a partner who can share happiness and misfortune, life and death, and not just an ordinary friend." Wu Lai punched Odo in the chest lightly.

Odo smiled and said, "Wuli, you are amazing."
