People in Terra, governing a weird little country

"But I can go and see what's so good about Ernst, the one you admire. You'd better not lie to me, Kal'tsit!"

"Please."

Kelsey said calmly,

"Just a reminder, Ernst is very busy and it's not easy to see him."

W seemed to have thought of something, and her expression was awkward for a moment, but in front of Kal'tsit, she could not allow herself to show her fear. She could only grit her teeth, straighten her chest, and pretend to be confident:

"Haha, I naturally have a way!"

Hedley, save me!

Chapter 513: Minister of Commerce Latatos

Kjerag, site selection for the new city of Uraniborg.

Rhein Life branch address.

When Ernst, Levi and Nastie arrived by car, Saria had already chosen a seat.

A branch of Rhine Life Sciences will be built in this city, and this Colombian company will officially become a super-large multinational enterprise.

Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, the scale of Kjerag's Rhine Life will probably be larger than that of Columbia's Rhine Life. After all, as Kjerag's official designated partner and the top investment attraction for the entire city, the business environment it can enjoy is beyond doubt.

Kjerag was born with such potential. As the snowy land at the junction of three countries, as long as the most troublesome transportation and terrain problems were solved, the development of the land as a transportation hub and logistics transit center of the three countries could be expected in the near future.

Apparently, this problem had been solved by Yelagund himself. From now on, no one would question Kjerag's future.

In the future, Uraniburg will definitely not have only Rhine Life as a company, but the future of Uraniburg will definitely include a significant contribution from Rhine Life.

"Director Saria, Kjerag will set up a special docking window in Uraniburg. If Rhine Life has any needs, they can talk directly to our specialists, saving the time of going to Tukarim."

Ernst introduced, pulling out a business card from his pocket.

Of course, this business card is not his, but Latatos's.

Just as Latatos said, if Brown Tao Home Textiles wants to be "nationalized", there will indeed be considerable resistance.

Latatos is the clan leader and the top leader, her sister Hulus and brother-in-law Yucatan are the second in command, but there are more than just these three people in the Blantao family.

The Shivaash family had been in decline for quite a long time due to the sudden death of the previous head of the family. The internal factions were either annexed by others or became independent, so when Ensiodis came back to take over the family, the members of the Shivaash family were still relatively pure. The Perlochi family, who always regarded themselves as the most devout guards of Yelagund, were too traditional at best and too traditional at worst.

Because he is very traditional, the patriarch's ideas alone can almost "win the hearts of the people". No one can challenge the authority of Actos, not even his father.

Also because of the strong tradition, if the patriarch decides to support Ernst, no one in the clan can oppose him, even if he says he wants to hand over the food processing plant to Ernst.

But the Brown Tao family is different.

Under the leadership of Latatos, the Bronto family is neither as traditional as the Perlochi family nor as open as the Shivaash family. They are stuck in the middle.

Latatos was not a leader known for her strong and iron fist. When she mentioned this matter at home, she was immediately opposed.

The reasons for opposition are reasonable:

"Even if you want to help Ernst, you have to think about your sister, Hugh Ruth!"

Latatos really couldn't ignore these words.

Her sister... is too immature, like a spoiled young lady. If she gives the company away, what will Hugh Ruth eat in the future?

Did she expect Ernst to help her raise her younger sister as well?

Although Latatos felt that Ernst would not mind because of their past relationship, Latatos was a stubborn and strong-willed woman and she did mind it.

So, this is what happened in the end.

"This is the business card of Kjerag's Minister of Commerce and Trade, Latatos Bronta. She will also serve as the commissioner for Uraniborg affairs and will be in contact with you all."

Nastie raised her eyebrows. She had stayed in Kjerag the longest among the crowd, so of course she knew the name, but it was the first time she heard the prefix of Latatos:

"Latatos is not from Brown's Home Textiles..."

"Previously."

Ernst nodded.

"She resigned."

It's not just a resignation. In a sense, Latatos is abdicating.

The opposition within the family could prevent the nationalization of Brown Tao Home Textiles, but it could not stop her from shouting:

"I quit!"

The position of head of the Brown Tao family has now been handed over to her sister, who is being taken care of by Yucatan.

Over the years, Yucatan, as the de facto second-in-command, has been influenced by his father and mother and has gained more than enough ability and experience to be qualified for the position of patriarch. Latatos has also begun to gradually hand over some marginal businesses to him. Now, Latatos has handed the family over to him and Xu Lu to manage together. Although it is a little earlier than expected, Latatos is still relieved.

Besides, Shelag doesn't need Xu Ruth and Yucatan to worry about anything now. They just need to follow Ernst's direction step by step, and nothing serious will go wrong.

Besides, she just retired, not died. If there was any problem at home, even if she was not the patriarch, as a member of the Brown Tao family and Xu Ruth's sister, she would still be willing to help.

The reason why Latatos abdicated was actually not that complicated.

She is tired.

She had devoted herself to family affairs, the ancestral foundation, and the future of Snowland for so many years. She had been busy all the time, watching Xu Lusi grow up little by little, watching Yucatan take over his business little by little, watching Enthiotis, who had left with hatred in the past, return and start the Kalan trade in the blink of an eye, almost monopolizing Kjerag's foreign trade, and watching Ernst's government grow stronger, replacing the booming Kalan trade and officially taking control of Kjerag.

At this moment, she suddenly looked back and found that the three tribes had begun to gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and she had been left behind unknowingly.

Did Latatos lack talent? She did not think that she was inferior to Enthiotis in any way. She also did not think that she, who had been in charge of family affairs since she came of age and had led the Blanto family to where they are today, was inferior to Ernst, who was forced to take the stage.

If she had to say something, she felt that what she lacked was experience.

She did not have the connections and experience that Enthiotis had accumulated while studying in Victoria. The heavy family affairs and identity restrictions also prevented her from immersing herself in books for a long time to absorb knowledge like Ernst.

She has never traveled thousands of miles or read thousands of books. How can she survive in this era?

Latatos is proud, unwilling to give in, and wants to catch up.

How could she be willing to accept this when her childhood sweetheart, who used to eat my candy, can now deliver million-dollar orders to the Brown Tao family with just a wave of his hand?

All of this requires her to let go of the burden.

Put down the heavy burden of the name [Bruntao].

I'm about to take a break, take care of myself, and work on my career.

Kjerag still lacks a minister of commerce. To be fair, Enthiotis is definitely the most suitable person to take this position. Kalan Trade is the earliest, fastest-growing and largest enterprise founded by Kjerag. The network of relationships and trade channels accumulated by Enthiotis in all walks of life on Terra can help him play an amazing role in this position.

But Enthiotis was unwilling to come. His and Nosis Edwards's goal had always been the position of prime minister.

Ernst did not intend to let him come. After all, inserting an opposition into his own government to hinder him in every way would not bring any benefit except for giving himself a reputation of "listening to both sides and being wise" and "tolerating dissidents".

And when Latatos came to apply for the job after the Harvest Festival, it really gave him a pleasant surprise.

She still accepted the offer she had made.

Ernst even joked at the time: "Is Yucatan's illness cured?"

Latatos's answer was also very clever: "It should be fine."

Now, the Uraniborg Rhine Life Branch Project will be the first thing that Latatos, who has left her position as the head of the Brantau family, will do as the Minister of Commerce and Trade in the Kjerag government. It will also be her first political achievement.

This is undoubtedly a good job. It can help Latatos quickly understand the business environment outside of Kjerag through Rhine Life, a scientific research giant in Colombia, and accumulate some high-quality personal connections that were difficult to access before.

Furthermore, with the Chamber of Commerce now settled in Kjerag, there is so much that Latatos can do with this position.

Ernst will also keep an eye on this area to ensure that no problems arise.

After taking the business card from Ernst, Saria's face also showed a faint smile:

"Then I wonder when we can meet the new business minister, Madam?"

"I'm here."

Latatos' voice came from inside the city, and in her hand was the drafted contract and the official seal given to her by Ernst.

Latatos changed her clothes. She replaced the loose windbreaker and cotton coat with a neat women's suit produced by Brown Tao Home Textiles. She chose a striking red tie for her chest, and matched the hip skirt with flesh-colored stockings, which really gave her the elegance and capability of a Colombian business person.

The new outfit brought a huge contrast with the stereotype, which made Ernst's eyes light up. Latatos really put a lot of effort into this meeting.

She walked forward, winked at Ernst playfully, nodded at Saria, and smiled confidently:

"I hope I'm not too late. I have to go get these things."

"I will make up for the time you wasted because of me. My official seal is here, my pen is in my bag, our contract is in my hand, and my...leader is beside me."

"If Rhine Life is dissatisfied with the conditions, environment, and future development plans offered by Kjerag, I can change them immediately and stamp my seal immediately. If I cannot decide, I can also submit it for approval immediately."

Latatos tucked the contract under her armpit and reached out to Saria. Her desire to prove herself in front of Ernst made her look particularly passionate.

"The win-win situation between Kjerag and Rhine Life is obvious, sustainable, and has been extremely successful in the past. As long as Rhine Life lives up to Kjerag, Kjerag will certainly live up to Rhine Life. This is our sincerity."

“I hope this is also a consensus between us.”

Saria was slightly startled, and her stern expression relaxed slightly, revealing a subtle but heartfelt smile. She stretched out her hand and shook Latatos's:

"Of course. This is also an honor for Rhine's life."

Chapter 514 W: My mouth is out of control!

Kjerag, late at night, Shivaash Mansion.

The Shivaash Mansion is not difficult to find in Kjerag, or rather, the main residences of the three major families are not difficult to find.

It was not new that Ernst had been staying at his family's home. During the reconstruction period in Tukarim, the Kjerag government had worked at his home and stayed overnight. Most Kjerag people knew how to get around this.

So it didn't take W much time to find this place.

Two moons hang high in the sky, and the originally dark and quiet road is now lit up by street lamps. Only the Shivaash Mansion at the end is like a silent giant, silent, with only lights on in two rooms.

Enshiodis Shivaash did not live in the main house. After the establishment of Kalan Trade, he lived in the company's dormitory building and only went back to the main house occasionally. As for Enshia, because of the infection of mineral disease, she was basically receiving treatment in other places. Recently, Rhodes Island stopped in Kjerag. She would come back during the day, but at night, in order to ensure safety, Ernst insisted that she return to the main ship of Rhodes Island.

In the Shivaash mansion, Ernst and the old butler are the only two people living there on weekdays.

"The lights in both rooms, yes."

Putting down the night vision binoculars, W's expression was particularly determined.

She had already found Hedley and shamelessly asked him to help her and arrange an interview for tomorrow.

For this, Inès made a sarcastic remark:

"Our legendary mercenary W, has he changed his opinion in just one afternoon?"

W didn't bother to pay attention to her. This woman's head was like a potato, with nothing inside but starch paste.

How could she understand her own thoughtfulness?

Why is it that since coming to Kjerag, everyone W meets, from the street vendors to Kal'tsit, that stinky-faced lynx, keeps saying how great Ernst is?

Is this normal?

No matter how popular a leader is, he will have opponents.

Even if it was Her Highness Theresa, wouldn't there still be a group of idiots who were ignorant of the current situation and brainwashed by Theresis who opposed it?

It is impossible for anyone in the world to "satisfy everyone". Obviously, Ernst must have taken some measures! Either he controlled public opinion, and those who said good things about him received 500,000 gold coins from the Kjerag government! Or, he must be a very, very skilled liar, with superb disguise skills, so that he could deceive everyone and let others count the money for him!

She is here to expose Ernst’s true face!

People can pretend, but they can't pretend forever. Even the best actors will take off their makeup when the time comes. Just like Tracys, who said "I will always stand in front of you", but in the end, didn't he tear off the mask and reveal his true face?

W doesn't care about the process, the hardship, the helplessness, the people's will and other nonsense. She only looks at the result.

There are not so many things in the world that cannot be helped, and there are not so many things that can be forgiven. If someone advises her to be kind, she will want to ask: "I have no choice but to kill you now, can you forgive me?"

No, that's bullshit. She accepts anything my mom gives her to fry!

"I just want to see what's wrong with him?"

W would not wait patiently until tomorrow, when Ernst had finished putting on the mask and disguise, and then be deceived by his lies in his office.

Although W looked down on Kal'tsit, she had to admit that Kal'tsit was indeed a little better than her in some aspects involving intelligence.

She could be fooled, but W didn't have the confidence that she could tell which of Ernst's words were true and which were false.

She was going to sneak into the Shivaash mansion tonight, find evidence of Ernst's conspiracy, and then wait until tomorrow's interview to dump all the evidence out and slap Snow Leopard in the face!

Humph, thinking of Ernst's grimacing and angry look at that time, W couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of his heart!

After checking his camera, tight nightgown, camouflage mask, and the bomb he prepared to escape in an emergency, and confirming that everything was correct, W began to approach the Shivaash mansion.
