Guild Boss's Ambition

"Don't worry, if you poison me to death, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
After wiping the chair clean with toilet paper without taking it seriously, I looked at Xiao Lan who was sleeping beside me and asked, "Since you have the leisure to sit here and drink tea and chat, does that mean you have found a way to cure Xiao Lan?"
"Dear Ehard, please don't be so harsh on me, okay?"
Bai Ye picked up a piece of chocolate candy on the table and said with a smile, "But just as you speculated, I have indeed found a way to cure Wulu, and I have given her the corresponding medicine. I think Wulu will wake up in a few days. However, judging from the final result, Wulu's coma in the past few days is not meaningless. At least she has helped someone learn to manage his emotions."
"What does it have to do with you whether this president knows how to manage his emotions?"
"Oh my, who is the real murderer, President Ehard?" Bai Ye said aggrievedly, "I was just showing my kindness and concern for a junior. Don't think I am scheming against you, okay? As long as you are hardworking and can manage the stone house well, from my point of view, I will not only not touch you, but will even support you with all my strength~~"
"I don't need your assistance."
Hearing this, Bai Ye turned his head away and made an extremely dangerous statement: "If there were no obstacle of the soul contract, I really want to confine you in my room and train you. It is obvious that accepting my help is the best choice for mutual benefit. Why do you insist on giving up such a great opportunity because of those dead principles? Ehad, Ehad, aren't you too stubborn?"
From the past to now, Bai Ye and I have never had a good conversation. If it weren't for Ulu, I would never have taken the initiative to have any interaction with her. Even though she changed the room's decoration, I still couldn't forget what she did in the past. I just visited Ulu for a while and checked her physical condition, and then I had the idea of leaving.
Before leaving, I suddenly thought of something extremely scary.
If Uru remains unconscious, wouldn't the contract on Bai Ye be half useless?
In other words, if the rules that Wulu had set for Bai Ye were imperfect, then as long as Bai Ye could find the gray area, wouldn't she still be able to do whatever she did in the past? And for a utilitarian villain like Bai Ye, wouldn't she take advantage of this rare opportunity to put Wulu into a permanent coma? Suspicious! Too suspicious!
"Bai Ye, you will take good care of Uru, right?" I asked casually.
But Bai Ye seemed to see through my thoughts, and she gave me an indirect assurance: "Uru's life is everything to me. Of course I will save her and wake her up, and you should try to trust me more. For example, the old man in your family who saw the soul contract only came to visit Uru once in the early morning yesterday."
Soul contract?
I remember that at that time, Hai Lao seemed to have mentioned that Bai Ye had written a strange clause in the contract...
It seems to be the last act of some necromancer...
"Bai Ye, what else did you write on the soul contract?" I asked, staring at Bai Ye.
"A secret that will do you no harm."
She gave me a hushing gesture.
I temporarily believed her and handed Xiao Lan to her.

26. Date with Senior Annie (Gushan)
(Ancient Mountain)
A lot can happen in one day.
Xiao Lan came back and also fainted.
I went to check on her, but no one answered the door.
Then two adventurers openly fought in front of the guild gate, and one of them was bleeding from the head. This is not suitable for children.
Thirty minutes before getting off work, I hid in the lounge alone to study the schedule for the next week. As I was studying, I discovered something interesting - tomorrow, senior Annie and I will be taking a day off on the same day!
You have to know that Senior Anne is a terrible workaholic. Before the recipes of Morning Star and Bloody Mary were leaked, Senior Anne was responsible for all the cocktail making work from Monday to Sunday night. It was not until recently that President Ehard and his team found her a part-time student to take over Senior Anne's duties on Sunday nights.
As soon as I found out that I had a chance to ask Senior Annie out of the stone house, I immediately stood up excitedly!
I have not forgotten that I have an important mission on my shoulders.
"I must bring Anne-senpai out of her lonely, self-enclosed world!"
"Glorious isolation and national defense policies are both suicidal!"
I took action as soon as I thought of it. I took the shift schedule and trotted to Senior Annie's bar area. It was already dusk, so Senior Annie had just started her shift. Not long after she started her shift, a customer came to her for cocktails. I waited for a long time before the popular Senior Annie finally became free, giving me a chance to talk to her.
"Senior! Senior! Did you know that Xiaolan is ill?"
"Yeah, I saw them coming back yesterday, but I believe Miss Bai Ye should have a solution."
Unlike others, Senior Annie was much calmer about Xiao Lan's condition.
"Does Miss Bai Ye really have a solution?" I asked.
Senior Annie smiled lightly and said softly, "I'll just tell you this quietly, don't tell anyone else! In fact, with Miss Bai Ye's personality, if Xiao Lan is really in danger, her reaction will definitely not be as simple as what everyone has seen so far, and she will probably do something earth-shattering."
"For example, what if we transform all the humans in one or two cities into Philosopher's Stones?" I asked, giving an example.
Annie rolled her eyes, tapped my forehead, and scolded me with a smile: "I told you to read less nonsense. The Philosopher's Stone, an illegal alchemical item, has long been proven to be non-existent by many scholars in the Alliance. At least it does not exist in the present or the past, and it also violates the alchemical common sense of this world."
"Alright, alright! Stop hitting me on the head! It'll make you stupid!"
I covered my forehead which was slightly hurt by the blow, rolled my eyes, and took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, Senior Annie is also on holiday tomorrow, right? Why don't we go pick a gift for Xiaolan? And stop by the temple to pray to the goddesses and wish her a speedy recovery?"
I had originally thought that it would be easier to gain Senior Annie's consent by using Xiao Lan as a pretext, but things did not develop as I imagined. Senior Annie immediately showed an apologetic expression, clasped her hands together and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Gushan, I have an appointment with an old friend tomorrow, so I can't accompany you! Otherwise, you can go find Shuofang? I remember Shuofang is also on holiday tomorrow..."
"Annie-senpai is making excuses again..."
"However, today I have already made up my mind."
"Annie-senpai, you can't escape!"
I was so angry that I forced myself to put on an innocent expression, pretending to be excited, and asked, "Old friend? I don't think I've ever met any of Senior Annie's old friends! What kind of person is she? Can I go with her tomorrow?"
"Um..." Senior Anne hesitated for a moment before answering, "That's a noble lady I've known for a long time. She lives in the northeast of Mopolis City. I might have to go to look for her very late tomorrow, and it won't be very interesting. Gushan, are you sure you want to come with me? It's a rare holiday, why don't you go and spend time with your brothers and sisters?"
Senior Annie is worthy of being Senior Annie. She hit my weak spot right away.
But for the sake of the elders' happiness, let's just leave the children at home to fend for themselves for a week! Anyway, with the help of our neighbor, old lady Barbara, there shouldn't be any problems that suddenly arise.
After thinking about it for a while, I immediately replied with a sunflower-like smile: "No, no, no, I want to go. I just went home to see those naughty kids a few days ago. And from your tone just now, the noble lady seems to be a very remarkable person! If Gu Shan is lucky enough to meet her, it would be a great honor!"
"antiquity……"
At this time, the senior seemed to want to say something to stop me, but how could I, a smart person, easily let her take back the rhythm?
So, I immediately screamed in surprise, pretending to be in a hurry to grab the senior's hand and asked, "Hmm? Wait, if we go to meet the nobles, then shouldn't we find a formal dress to wear? Oh, right! I heard that Sophie on the third floor is a countess! I think I should be able to borrow one or two good things from her. What do you think, senior?"
"Hehe, seeing how excited I am, it should be hard for you to say no now, right?"
I was waiting for Anne's reply with a smug look on my face.
At this time, Senior Annie pointed behind me with a strange look on her face.
I followed the senior's gaze and looked behind me -
"Gu Shan, it's only 6:15 now. You shouldn't have the extra time to chat here, right?"
A wild President Ehad appeared in front of me, she was smiling brightly and she was very hot.
I had no choice but to use my signature silly smile again to try to get away with it.
"Ahahaha, ahhahaha..."
"Ahahaha, ahhahaha..."
President Ehard also imitated me and laughed, saying like a devil: "You are laughing so happily, which means that you have been living a happy life recently! Then I will not punish you in other forms this time, I will just deduct your salary for this month! Okay, okay, you don't need to explain, remember to have fun with Sister Annie tomorrow! If you don't have fun, you are not allowed to come back, understand?"
Salary...my salary...
Hearing the disastrous announcement of salary deduction, tears almost welled up in my eyes. However, at this moment, I could only sincerely promise the evil President Ehard: "Yes, President! I will serve Senior Annie well tomorrow! Please be magnanimous and don't take this matter to heart!"
"Gu Shan, be good. Come and give me a hug."
After obtaining my conscious oath, President Ehard once again stretched out his evil claws to take advantage of me.
Unfortunately, this time I can only bear it silently.
"President, please don't touch my vagina, or you will rub it into a small size..."
"No, Gu Shan said that it's better to be small forever..."
"..."

27. My date with my senior (Gu Shan)
(Ancient Mountain)
The day after I agreed with senior Annie to go on vacation together, the weather was sunny and pleasant, which is rare in winter. The morning air was so fresh and sweet that it seemed mixed with mint. I felt that this would be a good start, but if reality was the script of a bizarre novel, then I would most likely encounter unexpected events in this unusual situation and be targeted by strange things.
However, I know very well that what awaits me is probably just a dull life.
I will not travel to another world for no reason, I will not be saved by a hero or the beauty will save the hero, and I will not be suddenly captured by terrible criminals to do something thrilling and unforgettable. My human bloodline does not have any earth-shattering secrets, and my body is clean without a single lightning scar or dragon tattoo.
I'm just an ordinary little girl.
But I got the chance to date Senior Annie!
Humph, today’s Gushan is different from yesterday’s Gushan!
Today, we are following the plot of a new century girl's youth novel. With a Cinderella-like character like me, I will definitely meet my destined other half on this fantasy journey. First, there will definitely be a beautiful encounter between us, followed by a life-and-death fight, and then the lovers will finally get married, with a happy ending! Congratulations! Congratulations!
"No—wait?"
"Why do I feel like something is missing?"
"Like, a car accident? A curse? Can't be cured?"
"Right, right, right! You need to add something like this to create a bloody enough love story!"
In the early morning, I was daydreaming about all sorts of things while standing in front of the stone house waiting for Senior Annie. Because of her advice, I did not go to Count Sophie, who runs the recycling center, to borrow a dress. I just picked out the most presentable casual clothes in the closet, put on the shoes that Xiaolan bought for me a while ago, and put on a woolen hat to keep warm.
"Oh no! When I take off my hat later, my hair will be ruined!"
"What a mistake! What a mistake! Gu Shan, how could you make such a stupid mistake!"
"Good morning, Gushan."
I hesitated whether to turn around and change my hat immediately, but at this time, Senior Anne had already appeared in front of me. She was dressed very beautifully today, not like the dignified and beautiful girl she usually was at work. At this moment, the thick furry deerskin coat and long skirt made her look like a simple and pure beauty in the snow, full of affinity like the warm winter sun.
Looking at Senior Annie like this, I suddenly wanted to hug her and rub her against my body.
But at this time, I was obviously more worried about my own attire: "Good morning, senior. Well, senior, do you think it's okay for me to dress like this? Is it too shabby and rude? Or should I go back and ask Miss Sophie to borrow a dress? Oh, right! If I really offend the nobles there by accident, will I be hanged on the gallows? Woo--"
"There's no problem with the clothing, but if you're so scared, you don't have to wear it..." Senior Annie said with a wry smile.
Hearing that my senior was trying to kick me away again, I resolutely reiterated my mission: "No way! If President Ehard knew that I didn't spend time with Senior Annie today, I don't know if she would deduct my salary again. I only earn five gold and fifty silver coins a month. If she deducts two more times, my family will hardly be able to make ends meet!"
As soon as I used the president's daughter as a shield, Senior Annie was speechless. She chuckled helplessly, took my hand with a very adult consciousness, and began to lead the way: "Okay, if you want to go out with me, I won't stop you, but don't shout about being bored later, otherwise the host will be unhappy."
"Okay, okay, hehe."
I happily agreed to Senior Annie's request, and then we called a carriage together and headed towards the east of the city. Probably because of my young age, the senior prepaid the fare as soon as we got on the car. Although I felt embarrassed, I tactfully accepted the senior's kindness and rubbed her shoulders and thighs in the car. While serving her, I also took the opportunity to take advantage of her to express my gratitude.
Just as Senior Anne had said before, that family indeed lived in the aristocratic district in the northeast of the city.
Since we arrived at the aristocratic district, the scenery around us has changed. The trees here are particularly tall, and there is a comfortable distance between the houses. As the carriage goes further, the buildings become more and more magnificent, and even the clothes of the pedestrians on the road become bright and beautiful, which is simply inhumane and wealthy.
"Look, senior! The gold chain on that fat lady's neck! Is that enough for our family of four to eat so much good meat?!"
"Gu Shan, calm down."
"Ah! Senior, look again! That tall and mighty black dog! Its meat will be delicious when stewed!"
"Gu Shan, don't have such unhealthy thoughts. It will affect the readers' impression of you."
"Senior, what did you just say?"
"No, I didn't say anything..."
Amidst the gentle complaints of Senior Annie, the carriage whirred to a stop. I happily looked at the scenery of the Noble Park for a while. I was also excited, so I couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and open my arms to breathe the local air. How can I describe it? The air in the Noble Park is indeed the air in the Noble Park. It smells like a kind of - uh - ordinary smell?
After getting off the bus, Senior Annie asked me, "I say, you look so disappointed, what are you thinking about..."
I told her my doubts truthfully: "Senior, why don't noble gases smell better?"
Hearing this, Senior Annie gave me another bitter smile: "Most noble gases are poisonous, of course none of them smell better. By the way, why did you suddenly mention noble gases?"
"expensive……"
"The air of the nobility is poisonous?!"
I quickly pinched my nose and turned my head to look for the carriage we came in, but all that was left on the road was its elegant back.
I tried my best to hold my breath, and my mind suddenly recalled many good memories and delicious desserts...
