Guild Boss's Ambition

The tall figure swayed slightly, then slowly shrank back to the chair. He glanced at me unhappily and said coldly, "You are smarter than Mrs. Meng'er, but there is always a shortage of smart people in this world. If you think too highly of yourself, you will suffer soon."

Once I saw through Hai Lao's tsundere nature, his tone of taking advantage of his age made me burst out laughing. I looked at this lovely old man and nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! Hai Lao, you are right. I am indeed just a little smart, but don't you still have you in the stone house now? I believe your experience can be of great help to us."

Hai Lao turned away his old face and picked up a photo book. He didn't look at me, but looked at the picture of the cool girl.

"Who said I have to help you?"

"Then what's your reason for not helping us?"

Ebi said in a calm and depressed tone: "You are just trying to prolong each other's suffering."

"Ebi..."

The old man was right. According to Berlani, no matter whether it was the former president or the president, their hard work only resulted in the gradual decline of the Stone House. Faced with all this, President Ehard and his party would naturally feel bad, and would inevitably be accompanied by negative emotions such as pain, disappointment, and confusion. One way to end this situation is...

The fall of the stone house.

If you give up, you won't be sad about it anymore.

But is human nature really like this?

I snatched the troublesome photo away and spoke my thoughts loudly.

"Ebi! You are wrong! Do you think that the Stone House will close down, and the suffering of President Ehard and the others will end? You are already old, so please stop holding on to such naive assumptions. The Stone House is an irreplaceable home to them, not a profit-making business organization. Once the family business is broken up, how do you want them to face the memory of this failure?"

Glancing at me as if he was looking at a clown, Ebi only picked up the second photo album.

He asked calmly: "What else? Do you have a better way?"

I knew that I didn't need any false modesty at this time. If I didn't even have enough confidence in myself, how could I convince someone who insisted on his own opinion? So I made a decisive statement: "Revitalizing the Stone House is the best way!"

"Unfortunately, this is just a foolish dream."

He flipped through the photo album and happened to come across the advertisement page, but he did not skip it. Instead, he looked at it carefully.

He was wavering, distracted.

I immediately chased him and snatched his second photo album: "Ei Lao, what do you want us to believe? Even if you think this matter is ridiculous, at least you should set a condition, a condition that can prove that we are incapable of doing so!"

He frowned, glanced at me, and said calmly, "Give me back the book."

Hearing this request, I couldn't help but sneer: "What do you want the book for? To study the advertisement page on it?"

"Little girl, you!"

After being touched by my words, Hai Lao was obviously a little embarrassed for a moment. His face turned red, and he pointed at me and said the words I expected the most: "If you can turn this month's accumulated losses into profits, I believe you have a little hope of turning the situation around. Other than that, everything else is out of the question! Then, get out of my territory!"

Haha, I’m caught!

I couldn't help but laugh at this cute old man, and I couldn't help but get carried away and strike a cute aiming pose, and promised repeatedly: "Okay! I'll get out, right away! But you have to remember what you just said, Hai Lao!"

At this time, Hai Lao realized that he had been provoked by me, but as a grown man, he was afraid that he could not break his promise to a little girl. He could only pretend to snort coldly and said, "I always say what I can do, but the premise is that you can really complete the conditions I set. As I said before, the Adventurer's Guild is a murky place... It's very deep!"

Ebi, oh Ebi, how can you be so cute!

Considering his age, I gave him a sweet smile and saluted him by lifting my skirt: "Thank you for your teachings and guidance, Senior Hai. I, Lan Nong, have benefited a lot today. I will take my leave now──"

"roll!"

He stared at me, his teeth itching with hatred. I happily walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor, and then turned around at the moment when Hai Lao looked away from me, and shouted: "Hai Lao, Hai Lao, you have a white beard all over your face, you'd better be more restrained. Besides, if the guests accidentally caught you using the photo book in a public place, it would be difficult for us to explain to them!"

I hurriedly said this, and before Hai Lao knew how to react, I rushed to the entrance of the stairs, and the roar of the perverted old man gradually came from behind me.

"Get out! Get out of here! If you don't get out, I'll use my fireball to turn you into ashes!"

"I'm so pissed! I'm so pissed! Why are the poster girls in our guild acting weird?"

26. Eat my business plan! (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

"Mission: Turn Stone House's turnover from loss to profit within one month."

"Reward: Active help from veteran employee Hai Lao."

After writing the last two lines in my diary as if in a joke, I turned my attention to another document on the table.

This is the business plan I rushed out right after work tonight. Because that damn quill pen always goes against me, I spent a lot of extra time. By the time I finished writing the summary, the dawn had risen outside the window...

"Why does playing a game have to be so tiring..."

I muttered to myself, yawned, and stretched myself. Then, I wanted to sleep and hand over the business plan I had worked so hard to write to someone I could trust. There was no alarm clock in this world, and I was afraid that half a day of snoozing would make me miss the critical opportunity. Although I believed that things would gradually get better, a month was so short that it would pass in the blink of an eye...

"Maybe I should go find Berlane first?"

Recalling the last time she called me a scum, I immediately changed my mind.

"No, it's better to go find President Ehard..."

I staggered drowsily in the corridor on the second floor, and unknowingly staggered to the door of President Ehard. Her door was very easy to recognize because there was a majestic knight's armor decoration next to it. Of course, the armor was just for show. If it had any practical value, it would have been sold by the miser named Ehard long ago.

Boom boom boom!

My body is very sleepy, and due to my age, I dare not drink too much coffee. Therefore, staying up late like today makes my head dizzy and painful, and my consciousness becomes more and more blurred...

Boom boom boom!

dong dong dong dong dong! !

Boom boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!!

"Sleepyhead Ehard, if you don't wake up soon, I'm going to burn the entire project plan!"

I stared at him with a dead look in my eyes, and my drowsy mind began to come up with a lot of ways to make fire in another world. Fortunately, our President Ehard did not succeed in challenging my bottom line, and finally opened the door in time and appeared in front of me.

"Who is so desperate that he dares to knock on my door in the middle of the night...! Eh? Xiao Lan? Why are you looking for me?"

President Ehard was obviously very surprised to see me. His half-asleep eyes immediately widened. But at this time, I had no time to consider these details. I just wanted to have a good sleep right now...

So, when I saw Ehad's happy face after waking up, I slapped the plan in my hand on her face. Since there was no stapler in the room, the plans that were originally arranged in order immediately flew to the ground...

"You decide. I'm almost dying..."

After I finished arranging my affairs after death, a strong desire for sleepiness took away my body and mind all of a sudden. I instinctively sought a place where I could sleep as soon as possible. My own room was undoubtedly far away. Therefore, when I peeked at President Ehard’s double bed through the crack in the door, my eyes also showed the greatest desire. I felt that no one could stop me!

"Xiao Lan, what are these papers..."

"Xiao Lan, what are you going to do?"

"Xiao Lan, don't go to sleep yet. Can you at least tell me what this file is?"

Die, bitch, are you illiterate? You can't see with your own eyes!

I occupied her big bed, closed my eyes tightly, and was determined not to say a word to the stupid president beside me. The great Mr. Nightmare Demon soon kidnapped my soul so that my body, which had long been overwhelmed, could get the long-lost rest.

Shala...Shala...

The sound of paper being peeled off rang in my ears.

Chirp...Chirp...

The song of the sparrows made me smile.

Hulu…Hulu…

The swaying sound of the curtains symbolizes the flow of the summer breeze.

Hiss--hiss--

The naughty horses resisted people's control and made struggling noises.

"Water... water..."

My throat groaned in pain and my whole body felt limp with exhaustion. I woke up because I was very thirsty.

"What the hell is going on with this awful new body?"

I tried to sit up straight, but this small movement was enough to make my dizzy head feel like it was exploding with pain. At this time, my eyes finally adjusted to the light in the room, and I saw our guild leader.

"If you move too much, you'll get burned. Rest well."

Her voice was hazy, but I could vaguely understand what she wanted to express.

Because her right hand was gently soothing my head and carefully straightening my messy hair, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at me was overflowing with maternal care, which made me gradually associate her image with my long-deceased mother. She and she were both outstandingly beautiful women, and they both had a pair of warm hands, and every move they made was enough to make people feel warm and at ease.

"Here, some water for you..."

"Thanks……"

She brought me a glass of water without me having to pour it. Her thoughtfulness was actually more reliable than her usual image. However, I didn't think that she, as the president, should stay with a patient like me.

"Don't you have to go to work?" I asked her, with a hint of anger in my voice.

She blinked, as if she read my thoughts, and smiled softly, "I am carrying out the most urgent work. First, I am taking good care of you, my most valuable employee, and second, I am trying my best to understand your masterpiece. Xiaolan, Xiaolan, you should know how excellent your handwriting is, right? So, please don't mess with these important documents next time──"

"Just ask someone else to take care of me. You are the president of the Stone House, you can't get sick."

I couldn't agree with her decision.

At this time, she gestured with her arms, patted her chest and assured me: "Hehe, Xiaolan, you underestimate me too much! Since I turned twelve, no matter whether it is a big disease or a small disease, I have never been troubled by it. After all, we well-trained soldiers are not as delicate as you, a greenhouse flower, who will get sick and cry just by staying up all night──"

Well-trained soldiers won’t get sick?

At this time, I noticed something strange.

"President, can you come a little closer?"

"Huh? Why?"

Although she didn't understand my intention, she still moved closer.

"Come closer." I deliberately said in a softer voice than before.

"Hmm? What happened? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

She was so anxious that she quickly moved closer to my pillow, within arm's reach.

Well, close enough.

I slowly raised my arm and approached her carefully as if I were touching a sensitive cat. I slowly held half of her cheek and then gently applied force to shorten the distance between us until our skins were touching.

"It's hot. It must be very hot."

My forehead was clearly burning, but I could still vaguely feel her body temperature coming from her forehead. Even though adults and children have different physiques, being sick is still being sick. Even a tiger will be on its last legs when it falls ill, let alone a girl?

"President, you have the potential to act."

The president pulled her face back in embarrassment and stuck out her tongue cutely: "I've been discovered..."

"There's no point in pretending to be cute. You need to rest." I warned her solemnly.

Hearing my request, she sat further away as if on guard, raised the plan on her lap, and said with a smile: "Well, I will go to rest after I finish reading this information. Xiaolan, you want to sleep for a while? I will wake you up again when it's time for lunch."

I do need some more sleep, but...

She needs sleep even more!

Despite my sleepiness, I stared at President Erhard without giving in. "As a decision maker, everyone would try their best to avoid mistakes, but you chose to do the most complicated work when you were not in a good mental state. President, are you trying to go crazy?"

"..."

She seemed speechless.

So I lifted a corner of the sheet and invited her: "Come and take a nap. Although we don't have much time, we can only go faster if we walk slower, right?"

Then I saw her put down the documents in her hand.

Then, I became conscious and closed my eyes.

In my dream, I vaguely felt a warm hug.

27. Selfishness (Ehard)

(Mener-Ehard)

She is really different.
