Guild Boss's Ambition

Huh──

I simply ignored all the complaints, nodded, and sent her away: "Then take it as your agreement. You can go to Hai Lao tomorrow to get the contract documents for the competition and sign them. If you have no other questions, please leave here as soon as possible, Miss ViVi. I have something else to do later, so I don't have extra time to chat with you."

"Mingming... Miss President is so heartless..."

"He is a habitual offender who abandons his lover after having sex with him..."

"Once they have lost their usefulness, they will be driven away immediately..."

Hearing my order to leave, ViVi rubbed her eyes, which were free of tears, and turned around and left my room, looking back every three steps.

Fortunately, ViVi did not come back.

"..."

But unexpectedly, Xiao Lan came to my room, followed by a strange girl.

As soon as I saw Xiaolan's expression, I knew she had something to say to me.

The young poster girl gently pushed the little girl in front of me and introduced her, "President, Bai Ye picked up a girl when she was on a mission. Her name is Lian'er. She was controlled by kidnappers and was forced to be a thief for many years. Even though Bai Ye rescued her, she is still helpless. You see, her life story is so pitiful..."

She stopped talking here and looked at me with an expectant and mischievous look.

"Wait! I don't quite understand what's going on."

I asked Xiao Lan to describe the whole story in detail.

So she told me about the case in which Bai Ye successfully cracked down on a theft gang.

After knowing this, what else can I say?

Although one more person means one more pair of chopsticks, we have such a big guild and have made so much money recently. If we don't do good deeds and accumulate virtue, then the good luck God has given us will be wasted.

I looked at the little girl and asked, "Your name is Lian'er, right? How old are you this year?"

The little girl moved closer to Xiao Lan, timid and silent.

Xiao Lan blocked the girl's view from me and answered for me, "Lian'er has a speech impediment and cannot answer your question. However, according to Bai Ye, she is exactly the same age as me, only twelve years old."

While speaking, Xiao Lan secretly gave me a look, telling me to be careful with my words.

"Although I really want to help this child myself, I have a lot of cases on hand. I am almost too busy on weekdays. If I add the responsibility of taking care of a child, how can I maintain the calmness that a lord should have?"

I stroked my chin and thought for a moment, then quickly made a decision.

I coughed lightly, walked over and patted Xiao Lian on the head, and said in a friendly and gentle tone: "Your name is Xiao Lian, right? I am the president of this guild, Meng'er-Ehard. You can call me Sister Meng'er or President Ehard. I have the final say on everything in this stone house, so you can rest assured living here..."

I pointed to Xiao Lan at the side and continued with a smile, "She is Xiao Lan, a child like you who recently came to our stone house. A while ago, I had been wanting to find her a playmate of the same age. Now that you are here, it's just right. I will let her take care of your daily life, and if you encounter any problems, you can come to me in person for help."

No matter how friendly I acted, the child named Lian'er still hid near Xiaolan.

She looked like a very slender girl who had had many bad experiences.

For a moment, I felt like I had no way of opening her defenses.

She stared at me warily, afraid of me.

Xiao Lan gave me a helpless smile.

Just when I didn't know how to step down, Xiaolan took Xiaolian's hand, whispered something in her ear, then bowed to me, turned around and left my room.

I looked at the backs of the two big lolis, thinking about something in my mind, and had a familiar feeling.

……

7. Necessary etiquette (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

After taking Lian'er to see Sister Meng'er, she and I returned to the room, and then I went to the kitchen alone to prepare our dinner.

Judging from what happened just now, Sister Meng'er has a pretty good impression of Lian'er.

Of course, given Sister Meng'er's upright personality, there would probably be no problem even if I didn't give her a heads-up first. However, everything has a process. Since she is my legal guarantor, it is understandable to let her know about Lian'er's existence in advance. What's more, with the support of Stone House, I believe it will be of many benefits to Lian'er.

“No…wait.”

"Why do I feel like I've completely put myself in the role of a single underage mother?"

I was walking back to my room with two dinners, and Mo Ran was petrified by my current appearance.

On second thought, I felt that there was nothing wrong with my behavior. Although there was indeed a little selfishness and self-pity in it, the desire to help others still played a major role.

After figuring out the confusion in my heart, I pushed open the door leading to Lian'er's room.

Even though I told her to relax and move around freely, she still sat quietly on my bed.

It's like an owl taking a nap on a tree, with its deep, empty amber eyes.

As soon as she noticed my presence, her pupils dilated slightly and her relaxed limbs immediately became tense again, just like an animal living in the wild that becomes alert to unusual movements around it.

I pretended not to notice her situation and called out calmly, "Lian'er, dinner is here, come and eat--"

She was stunned for a moment, without moving.

I looked at her, put the plate on the table, and waited.

After a while, she slowly walked over and squatted on the dining chair under my encouraging gaze.

I couldn't help but frown, then quickly and vigilantly relaxed my smiling brows.

I sat down in a slow and graceful manner, like an aristocrat.

When I looked in her direction again, she had changed from squatting to sitting.

Her eyes were always watching our movements.

He is an alert and smart child.

I gave her a smile of praise: "Let's eat──"

Unlike what I expected, she hesitated for only half a second before diving into the food on the plate.

"Maybe he's starving..."

"But, it seems that Bai Ye has found a wolf girl for us this time──"

My own dinner sometimes consists of bread, but most of the time it is noodles and rice. Today, it is black curry pasta that I specially asked Kololo to prepare. From a certain perspective, Lian'er is actually eating curry very closely in the authentic way.

"A white girl eating curry with her right hand..."

"It's unexpectedly cute..."

I didn't say anything, firstly because Lian'er's eating appearance at that moment was very pure and cute, and secondly because the changes that humans can make in a short period of time are actually very limited. If I kept explicitly suggesting that she change her behavior, it might bring her a certain degree of tremendous pressure, making her feel uneasy and anxious.

The most important thing is to grow up happily and healthily.

Seeing how satisfied she looked while eating, my stomach also started to stir. Of course, I wasn't idle enough to experience the sacredness and touching feeling of Indians' close interaction with food. I simply picked up my knife and fork to attack my own plate of noodles, using traditional British etiquette, a way that wouldn't leave my hands stained with the strong smell of curry.

"Hmm, Karolo still maintained her high standard today..."

jingle.

Not long after I started eating, I heard the sound of knives and forks hitting plates across from me.

Sure enough, Lian'er soon noticed the difference between herself and me, and wanted to try using tableware and eating like me. However, no matter how good her observation skills were, there were some details that she could not grasp in a short time.

I put down my cutlery, reached out to help her correct her posture, and briefly taught her some basic table manners.

She did most of it right away and then forgot a little of it.

She was still holding a large piece of pork chop and taking big bites.

But at least I used the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left hand.

She also seemed not to be used to eating noodles with the fork in her left hand, causing the noodles to dance mischievously on the plate and the whole table to be filled with curry stars flying out of them. It looked like she would have to spend more time cleaning up later.

At this time, my hands were covered with a lot of curry sauce because of the contact with Lian'er just now.

"Well...it's already dirty anyway."

"Then whatever..."

I observed a half-second of silence for my love of cleanliness, and then I took the greasy knife and fork from Lian'er's hand again. While helping her cut the pork chops on the plate, I demonstrated, "When you really need to use your right hand, you can finish cutting the food first, then put down the knife in your right hand and switch the fork from your left hand to your right hand."

She looked at me silently, with no gratitude in her eyes, only confusion.

It seemed as if it was completely unaware of my good intentions and just accepted my orders mechanically.

I felt like I was lighting a pile of wet sticks.

But there is a long time to come, and as long as the sun is shining, there is no need to worry that they will never dry up.

We finished dinner in silence, cleared the table together, and washed our hands together.

From what I've observed, she didn't behave at all like a twelve-year-old. She was like a baby, a blank sheet of paper, learning things that were completely unfamiliar to her at a sponge-like speed.

I dare not imagine what kind of life she lived in the past.

I dare not imagine how she got used to loneliness in the past.

Unlike Earth, this world is harsh on the weak and even harsher on the disabled.

Because everyone is facing an urgent threat, it is not the threat of material poverty or spiritual poverty, but the naked threat to life. I heard from President Ehad and others that every spring after winter, the high elves outside the seven border cities may launch a terrorist raid on the Alliance - in the name of maintaining world balance.

War brings death, but it also cruelly eliminates the weak.

This has gradually bred a disregard for the disabled - a contagious disease more terrible than war itself.

When God created humans, he designed us with strengths and weaknesses. Some of us gained the wisdom to live an abundant life, some learned the skills to hunt ferocious beasts, some knew how to march and fight, some knew how to sow and harvest, and some were only given a pair of poor bodies and souls, and they can only struggle in the lowest position.

What is that for?

Why is it that there are always people who work hard all their lives but fail to get the results that match?

Why does God allow such cruelty to exist?

Does that mean we should learn to share, or get used to necessary indifference?

I have also cursed gods whose existence I don’t even know.

He cursed Jehovah God, Jesus, Muhammad, the Virgin Mary, Brahma, the God of Land, and other gods who were in charge of destiny and those who were not in charge of destiny hundreds and thousands of times, and even blamed them for accidentally kicking the leg of a table while walking.

But later I discovered that relying on myself is much easier than relying on God.

So, I regard myself as the only god in the world.

I pray to myself.

I try to fulfill my wishes.

I also like others to make wishes to me, and I enjoy rejecting and accepting other people's wishes.

We are all close to Jehovah God because he created us in his image.

Huh──

Huh──

The cold wind howled outside the window.

The winter nights are long.

I looked at Lian'er lying on the bed, and transformed myself into the goddess of speech, poetry, and knowledge. I came to her side in a mortal body and asked her in secular language, "Do you want to learn how to speak your heart out?"

She looked at me ignorantly.

I gestured to her.

"That's what I meant."

I gestured to her again.

"That's what you meant."

I gestured to her again.

"That's what my companion meant."

Lian'er opened her eyes wide, as if she saw a whole new world.

She began to recall and imitate the three movements I had just demonstrated to her.

In just a moment, she remembered the three gestures firmly, just like me at the beginning.
