Why it never ends

Chapter 934 Subordinates

"Then why did she ask you to sign those documents?" Li Ge was puzzled. "Can't you just throw down the pen and walk away?"

Hesta folded his arms and did not answer immediately.

"simple."

"what?"

"Are you listening?" Rico continued, "If she asks you to sign something you shouldn't, you're in trouble now."

"Not really... Although we are on the same level now, she has more experience and is obliged to help me get familiar with the position. Even if she wants to put me in trouble, she wouldn't choose now." Hesta said, "I just can't figure out another thing..."

"what?"

"I feel," Hesta paused for a moment, "that she seems to look down on me a little."

"Did you sense her hostility?"

"It's not hostility," Hesta said, "it's disdain."

"...This is even more strange," Rico was even more puzzled. It was hard for her to understand why someone would look down on Hesta's resume after reading it. "Have you met her before? Or have you offended her in some way?"

Hesta shook her head.

Rico also found the situation difficult. She sighed softly, raised her hand and grabbed the large iron hook above her head. She swung from one end of the living room to the other. After landing, she pushed the iron hook towards Hesta, who caught it accurately.

Hesta reached out and pulled, and the chain fixed to the ceiling made a rustling sound.

"I was just about to ask," Hesta looked up, "Why is there something like this in the living room of our apartment?"

"This place used to be a butcher shop. The back was demolished and converted into an apartment. The designer retained a lot of the original 'flavor' in the ground floor rooms. For example, these big iron hooks were used to hang meat. The designer added chains as pendants," Rico replied. She patted an old solid wood decorative cabinet next to her. "For example, this is the old cash register. You have another one in your study."

Hesta was surprised: "...How do you know so clearly?"

Rico touched the cabinet surface and was silent for a while. Then he turned around with a smile and said, "Just kidding, this apartment has won an award. The designer is from the first district and is very famous."

Hesta held the iron hook above his head with both hands, and swung his legs in the air. "That's great. When you need to relax, you can come to the living room and be a pendulum clock for a while."

"What are you going to do in the future?" Rico leaned on the cabinet, "If she keeps sending you documents for you to sign——"

"I told Ximoya to send the documents that need to be signed to my residence later." Hesta replied, "I will delay it for the next month by saying that I will not be in Emanlia."

"Not in Emanlia? Where are you going?"

"Are you free?" Hesta walked back and forth leisurely in front of Rico, "Accompany me to the dangerous areas around here that we can't get close to."

"...Ah," Rico sighed in sudden realization, "Yes."

"We still have to find a reason to get rid of Ximoya. This person is completely Kendai's eyes--"

Before he finished speaking, the doorbell rang. Rico walked to the electronic screen at the door and took a look.

"It's Ximoya."

"You came so quickly." Hesta finally let go of her hand and fell back to the ground. "I'll go open the door for her." ...

As expected, Ximoya brought some more documents, and Hesta signed them on the spot very readily.

"I came to see you for the upcoming family dinner of Baron Trion," Ximoya said, "From what you said before, you are planning to attend, right?"

"I just wanted to talk to you about this," Hesta said with a smile, "When you attend the family dinner, can you cooperate with us and not expose Eucalyptus' identity for the time being?"

"...I won't lie." Ximoya whispered, "and I don't see the point of doing this."

"You don't need to lie. You just need to keep silent and not expose me." Hesta said with a smile, "I'll be here the whole time. If there's anything that embarrasses you, I'll help you out."

"but why--"

"Because someone has been leaking our itinerary along the way, a large group of merchants whose business has been disrupted have been visiting us, hoping that I can act as a matchmaker between them and the Governor," Hesta said, "I want to continue observing in the dark for a while."

"...In short, I don't think it's necessary," Ximoya looked at her, "but since you insist, I can cooperate for a while."

As she spoke, Ximoya took out another document from her bag.

"These are some manors that Kendai asked me to find for you," Ximoya pushed the documents in front of Hesta, "Didn't you say before that you thought this apartment was too small? I found some houses for you in the suburbs of Emmanlia. Each property here has an area of ​​at least 2,000 square meters, beautiful scenery, and complete facilities... Except for being far from the city, there are almost no disadvantages."

  Hesta and Rico exchanged glances quickly - isn't this like using a pillow when you're sleepy?

"Ms. Kendai said that she understands your travel fatigue, so this month can be used for you to look at houses and arrange your residence. You don't have to rush, you can take your time to look around." Ximoya said softly, "As long as it doesn't interfere with your regular work, it's okay to extend the time to one and a half months. After all, your latest start date is June - it's still a long time away."

"That's very thoughtful." Hesta held up the property descriptions with both hands. "Thank Kende for me. She was really helpful."

"You're welcome." Ximoya said calmly, "Speaking of the homecoming dinner, Trion may send an invitation in the next two days. Remember what I told you before?"

"You can't accept his gift," Hesta replied.

"It's best not to leave any evidence that could cause outsiders to speculate." Ximoya said, "For example, if you have a very close relationship with him, or he has some special relationship with you... the best way is not to meet him alone in private, and don't talk to him about any topics related to us."

"… Then what's the point of eating this meal?"

"In fact, in my opinion, it's best if you don't go." Ximoya said softly, "Aren't you going to find a house this month? You can use this as an excuse to delay it."

"That makes sense." Hesta nodded, "Let me think about it..."

"Then about Eucalyptus and the two children," Ximoya took out two envelopes from her bag again. "I don't know what arrangements you have for them, but considering their status as accompanying family members, if necessary, I can recommend Eucalyptus to work at the city library. Just fill out this form within this week and scan it and send it to my email."

Hesta raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh..."

"I found out that you had already applied for schools here for Eleven and Qiqi in advance, but you got the wrong type of subsidy," Ximoya tapped another envelope, "I have re-written the application letter. Here is the list of schools. You can pick again. Send me a copy when you are sure. I will take care of the rest."

Hesta opened the two envelopes and read them carefully.

"I now believe that Ms. Kende must be a charming person." Hesta said suddenly.

Ximoya frowned: "What?"

Hesta raised his head: "Otherwise she won't be able to attract people like you to work for her."
