The performance at the theater tonight ended successfully.
Ronald bid farewell to the two investigators and returned to the boarding apartment alone.
Let's summarize.
The contact with the Countess today went smoothly.
After a meeting, the two sides made a preliminary acquaintance, the other party also clearly expressed their favorability for Ronald.
At the same time, due to attention to details.
Ronald did not reveal any special information.
From which perspective, Heloise's commission has a very good start.
I carefully recalled what happened today.
After confirming that there were no omissions, Ronald fell asleep in bed.
Heloise just finished the performance tonight, and probably didn't have much time to come to his house to make trouble again...
———
The next morning, Ronald rushed to the Chamber of Commerce with great spirit.
Although it is regrettable, the [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance] does not adopt a five-day or six-day working hours a week, but a shift system that is flexibly adjusted according to the position.
As a ‘consultant’ who was specially invited to go.
Ronald needs to go to the Chamber of Commerce for seven days a week.
Of course, if you want to take a leave, you just need to say it in advance or afterwards. There will be no impact to no more than ten days a month.
Compared with ordinary practitioners, this treatment is already extremely favorable.
What's more, for Ronald.
The intelligence and books of the chamber of commerce are all things he needs.
The essence of going to work is actually the process of Ronald collecting knowledge and information, and he is the undisputed beneficiary.
So it's easier than being idle at home.
Ronald didn't mind spending his time at the Chamber of Commerce.
Especially he can also enjoy a special daily staff meal in the Chamber of Commerce and it tastes good.
So, at exactly four o'clock on the afternoon of the weekend.
Ronald's assistant Karin knocked on the door of his office.
The girl dressed in a workplace elite held the document in her arms, and the first sentence she said when she met was what Ronald thought:
"Mr. Ronald, have you received the invitation?"
"Of the Countess Leticia?"
“…”
Where did Karin know?
Suddenly facing this inquiry, Ronald was stunned for a moment.
However, thinking about the intelligence collection ability of [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance], he quickly put on an understanding look:
"That's right."
"Carin, do you ask this, are there any questions?"
The female assistant nodded without hesitation and admitted, then took out a document from her arms and spread it on Ronald's desk.
Standing next to Ronald with great initiative, Karin pressed the document in front of her with her fingers.
Then he explained in a serious tone:
“Yes, it’s work.”
"The arrival of the Countess is a good time for the Chamber of Commerce to develop its business."
"Although the Chamber of Commerce has arranged professional businessmen to contact Leticia, if you are someone you are invited by the other party to help, the related activities will definitely be carried out more smoothly."
"This is the general plan we have formulated."
"I will take Nicos' map before dinner and explain in detail what you need to pay attention to."
“…”
Following Karin's explanation, Ronald roughly looked at his own "work paper".
Geographically, Nicos is an independent country located southeast of Greed.
Although they are both in the Latochoa continent, due to geographical interference, most of the trade activities between the two sides are maritime trade.
If there are Gredds who want to enter Nicos from land.
Take the fastest path, then you must first trek to Berlinwich and take the train to Entrode, and go south after passing through the huge Yoóiz Forest, and finally arrive in Nicos.
On the contrary, if you choose the path at sea.
Then take a boat at the port of any southern coastal city in Greed and then arrive all the way to the southeast.
In this case, the maritime trade between the two countries is the closest type of exchange.
What the [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance] targeted this time is the business problems of several Nicos cities, hoping to break through some of the restrictions brought by the [Gulf Chamber of Commerce].
This was originally something within Ronald's work, and he couldn't say no to refuse.
So after remembering the contents of the previous document, he asked again:
"Karin."
"Apart from these, are there anything else to pay attention to?"
“…”
Ronald, the female assistant, hesitated rarely.
After wandering back and forth on the desk for a few seconds, Karin said hesitantly:
"What must be...what must be said..."
"You might want to pay attention to the people in our chamber of commerce."
People from the Chamber of Commerce?
Hearing this from his assistant, Ronald immediately realized that this might be a bit troublesome.
"Can you tell me in detail?"
Karin continued to answer:
"It's Mr. Halvey of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Although he was entrusted with the Countess, he was a strong businessman who did not like his work and was interfered with. You are likely to encounter something not very friendly."
“…”
Ronald reached out and scratched his hair.
"Is it really okay for the Chamber of Commerce to let people with this personality contact the Earl's Eagle?"
Hearing this question, Karin replied with a wry smile:
“Mr. Halvey is very confident in his masculine charm.”
"And from the past history, there is no need to doubt this."
“…”
Who am I as beautiful as Xu Gongmei in the north of the city?
After Karin explained this, this idea immediately popped up in Ronald's mind.
Quickly drive this idea out of your mind.
Ronald nodded and expressed his understanding:
"Okay, I'll pay attention to this."
"If that Halvey really expressed hostility to me then, I wouldn't take it to heart."
I saw Ronald answering his tone very seriously.
The expression on Karin's face immediately breathed a sigh of relief:
"It makes you worry."
"But this is the arrangement of the Chamber of Commerce after all, and it is not easy to change."
"If there is any change in this matter later, I will notify you in time."
After saying that, Karin left the office as usual.
When the female assistant's back disappeared at the door, the expression on Ronald's face collapsed in an instant.
He lay down on his desk weakly.
Ronald's fingers were aimlessly scratching the page:
"What are you doing..."
"Everyone does this. Can I, the person who holds the book, even have to 'compete' with other men'?"
With the salary of [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance], he, a modern man with a contract spirit, certainly understood the necessity of work, and had no objection to the emergence of this task.
But just think of the performance of the countess when she saw her last night...
Ronald couldn't help but tremble.
Intuition told him that he would be at the ball that the Countess invited him tonight.
