Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Three: Dialogue in the Huge Library (Part 1)
Before the phone call in that hut, three nights of fighting on a patch of Atlantic Ocean,
The third day of the New Year’s Day holiday,
Fiseld-Imperial Manor.
The huge space with a tall dome has no other design except for a nearly 100-meter road in the center leading to the end. However, on both sides, dozens of rows are filled with gilded book spines.
The bookshelves, which are more than two stories high and are like a high wall, stand neatly in rows like an ancient tall jungle.
This place is like a country of books!
The classic heavy wood tones, the sense of nobility and time hidden deep in various decorations, although it makes people wonder how hard it is to take down the book on the top.
But this scene is somewhat magical, and the sunlight shines brightly at the moment when the door opens.
Fangran felt a deep shock,
The quiet, magnificent and vaguely sacred feeling of being in a sea of books made him walk in the central passage and look at the huge bookshelves on both sides, as if looking up at the monuments of mankind.
"Are all the libraries of wealthy people this size?"
The elegant long table and classical chairs that seem extremely expensive are sitting in one of the best places designed by the designer according to the scenery outside the window, the season, the light and other factors.
Fangran was speechless as he looked at the figure leisurely turning the pages of a book in front of him.
"This is a library built on a whim by the owner of Fiseld in the 1960s. For more than half a century, it has collected books in hundreds of languages in the world, all of which can stand the test of time or have memorable books,"
Her long silver-gray hair is combed gently to one side. Even her comfortable long dress looks exquisite. The warm shawl wrapped around her body is printed with luxurious patterns.
There was black tea next to the unknown English classics spread out in front of her. Veronica read casually while explaining with a chuckle:
"For this reason, I now have to hire a team of 20 people to be responsible for this room, book maintenance, inspection, air dust removal... spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on maintenance every year."
She opened her dark eyes and overlooked the entire library. Scattered people were busy in front of the book wall. The air filled with sunlight did not have that stale smell as she said.
Flip through the book lists in each row to find a book you are interested in, push it over the high mobile platform steps and take it off the book wall, hide it in this huge bookshelf that is like a fairy tale, and enjoy a sunny afternoon.
It seems to sound pretty good.
"So this is your usual leisure activity to pass the time?"
Marveling at this incredibly high artistic conception, Fangran asked curiously about the Queen's life, and then heard Veronica answer directly and casually:
"No, I occasionally go out to book an island for a vacation, or make a few requests for people to make a movie for me to watch, etc."
What kind of entertainment project does that seem to be normal for rich people...
Give me back the respect I just gave you...
"But I rarely come here now. There's nothing interesting to see, and it's quite a long walk from my room."
Lifting her eyes from the book she took casually, Veronica pretended to be helpless and spoke, then put on a smile and propped up her chin to look at his straightforward hint,
"Really...it would be great if there was someone who could teleport around all the time."
In your dreams...
Fangran couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, thinking that this guy just didn't want to walk and asked him to choose between his back and his arms, so in the end he could only take out the [Round Card] and make a willful request.
I thought that if I promised her to live here forever,
I'm afraid the heating and electricity bills will all be covered by the portal.
But after listening to Veronica's words and looking at the scene where hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent on maintenance every year, I thought that if she, as the owner, didn't come,
This huge, beautiful and fantastic library may have been quietly idle here...
Unable to help sighing, Fangran looked at her speechlessly and asked:
"How many places in your manor are there that are like this...outrageous?"
It's not a simple definition of gorgeous or extravagant, but more like a qualitative change in a certain level of specification. In the end, he only thought of describing it as 'outrageous'.
"Who knows, are you interested?"
Revealing her usual elegant mystery, Veronica crossed her hands on the table and looked at Fangran with a charming smile. At the same time, she quietly stretched her feet towards him under the table, her smile slowed down and stretched,
"How about if you agree to my proposal, I'll tell you everything?"
The moment his calf felt the touch of her foot, his body reacted like an electric shock!
Maybe it was due to the influence of A-7's ability that night that he was extra sensitive. He dodged the sneak attack, used the fastest speed to conjure up the treasured photos and recited the mantra silently, and finally suppressed the strange reaction and stayed rational.
Fangran took a deep breath, his brows twitching wildly as he spoke to Veronica. He really couldn't be careless for a moment.
He suddenly regretted not letting Adeline come with him,
No, considering that not only can she not make the other party restrain herself, but she is also very likely to be obedient and help him to abuse, it is better to forget it...
"Let's stop the small talk. It's time to talk about the business of asking me to come over."
"Ah... it's business,"
Pretending to smile as if she had done nothing, as if she had just remembered, Veronica suddenly paused and picked up the black tea:
"Speaking of which, I have already read the report submitted by Adeline. What happened in the medical field this time really surprised me."
Before putting away the photo, he looked at it a few more times to deepen the effect of the medicine. Looking at the perfect silver-gray woman in front of him, Fangran breathed lightly and picked up the black tea.
"what do you think?"
He was not confident about the results of his first job. After all, Adeline handled all professional business matters. He only provided military assistance for the night battle.
It can only be said that it is quite satisfactory. If it were the queen who ruled this empire, she would definitely come up with a better method...
"The above emphasizes that you excluded her from having a private meeting with a woman with perky butt and big breasts. I didn't expect that you actually liked that type..."
щ(?Д??щ)We should be talking about business, right! We should be talking about business, right?
Do you have trouble with the word "big butt and big breasts"?
I almost choked on a sip of black tea on this beautiful morning. My brows were twitching again, thinking about what Adeline had written in the report. The trust and goodwill I had developed from working with her during this period had all disappeared.
Fangran pressed his eyebrows and sighed helplessly with a headache and asked:
"I just want to ask if the way I handled it this time is appropriate, if there are any problems, or if there are other better ways."
"The Queen Star's information security crisis was solved in just one day. What else can I say? Let alone calling others from thousands of miles away to help, and then finding fault with it,"
She put down her tea cup with a smile, and after saying this, Veronica looked at Fangran with a particularly innocent expression.
"In your eyes, am I such an unreasonable woman?"
Please think carefully about what you said last time...
Staring at her expressionlessly, Fangran silently remembered what she had taught him when she forced herself to gamble with 100 million because of [Weighing Cards].
And seeing his funny expression, I really laughed out loud this time.
"As for a better way, don't worry, you just need to do exactly what you want like this time, don't care about anyone else's opinion, it doesn't matter even if you fail,"
In the fantasy scene between the sun, the library, and the huge bookshelves, put away your laughter,
Veronica looked at Fangran with an indescribable expression, a happy smile like a queen giving orders but also a girl's passionate smile.
