"……I see."
Sulina took a deep breath, then used her arms to prop herself up, maintaining her kneeling, forward-leaning position so that her back looked like a bench.
"Come and sit down, Emerald."
Snapped!
Emerald suddenly slapped Sulina across the face with her bare, black-stockinged foot:
"You think you can just call Emerald by a chair? Think about what you should say!"
"...!"
Su Lina puffed out her cheeks in frustration, but ultimately chose to give in, speaking once more in a soft and submissive voice:
"Young Miss, please take a seat."
"That's more like it...hehe!"
The new toy has finally been successfully set up, and now it's time to enjoy it.
After all, Sulina's body was so alluring, and Amelie had already arranged her work for the next two days in advance.
The night... is still quite long, and it's not impossible to continue into the daytime.
. . . . .
Two days later, in the morning.
"Emerity! Emerality!"
Yulia stormed through the window and into the president's office of Blue Star Films, only to find Marcy alone inside, drinking strange tea. She pouted even more.
"Where is Emerald? She's been gone for two whole days! Is that Sulina really that infatuated with her? What am I going to do?! I need to eat! I need to eat! I haven't had any food from Emerald for two days, I'm going to die!"
"Don't rush me~~"
Marcy remained completely unperturbed. Although she felt a pang of jealousy towards Emery's infatuation with Sulina, she was easily satisfied. Having Emery's black stockings soaked in water was enough for her. She smiled and reassured the disgruntled Yulia:
"Before enjoying her spoils, the young lady only arranged two days of work in advance, and she has always valued her work the most and would never let herself be distracted by frivolous pursuits... So the young lady will definitely be back today, Yulia, please wait patiently."
"...Hmph, I don't care!"
Julia was still unhappy, so she went straight to sit in Emerald's seat and skillfully took out the snacks from Emerald's desk and started eating:
"Although I don't know where Emerald is right now, if I pay close attention, I should be able to smell her... unless she's already left the city. If she's not back to cook for me by noon, I'm going to find her and interrupt her mischief! Humph!"
"...Oh? You're so obsessed with...my cooking? Yulia, you really are a spoiled little glutton~~"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Emery's voice rang out from the lounge behind her CEO office.
Then Emerald pushed open the door and came out, wearing a beige lace dress with a slight yellow tinge, black stockings on her legs, but only a pair of cat-head slippers on her feet.
She yawned as she walked to her seat, looking quite languid, and her whole body smelled of shower gel.
"Yulia, why are you sitting here again?"
Walking to the desk, Amelite looked at Yulia, who had taken her seat and was even stealing her snacks, but she wasn't angry. She simply reached out and pinched Yulia's chin, then whispered in her ear:
"As expected, Yulia, you're already head over heels for me, aren't you? Besides me, the only other person who could sit in this position is my company's boss's wife... You're already fantasizing about married life?"
"You, you, you... what nonsense are you spouting!"
Julia immediately bristled, leaping up from her seat and getting several meters away from Emery, her face still burning red.
"I don't like you at all! I'm not like that! By the way... why don't I see your fun senior?"
"Ha ha……"
Emery didn't call out the clumsy attempt to change the subject, but instead shrugged in response to the question:
"Even dance students have their limits. It's already quite impressive that the senior could last for two days. She should rest a bit. You'll probably see her tomorrow."
"In this respect, we elves are still more capable."
Viliana, who had returned shortly after Emeryte, couldn't help but let out a smug hum.
"Back then, I was able to undergo intensive training by my master for three whole days without a moment's rest, and afterwards I could immediately fulfill my duty as my master's guard... Hmph, compared to me, that Su Lina is still too much of a nobody, so she can only be my master's chair."
"Chair... Pah! You're shameless! You're really playing dirty tricks!"
Yulia blushed even more, as if she had somehow come up with something else.
"It's okay, we'll come up with even more creative ways to play in the future."
Emerald simply smiled, then gave Julia no further chance to ramble on, looking at Marcy with a serious expression:
"How's it going with the work I was assigned before, Sisi?"
"Young Miss is incredibly resourceful; everything is exactly as you planned."
Marcy then put down the teapot containing the black stockings, stood up, and answered the question very respectfully:
"The police in Champs-Élysées have closed the case. According to your statement, the cases of tourists being attacked on the way and the burning of the cinema have been attributed to the Morning Light Dance Troupe. The troupe leader, Su Lina, was the mastermind, and the other members were accomplices."
"Very good, they're sensible."
Emery nodded in satisfaction:
"And then? How was the case decided?"
"The compensation and punishment have been handled exactly as you requested, Miss."
Marcy continued respectfully:
"As compensation for burning down your cinema, the Morning Light Dance Troupe and the Morning Light Opera House are now entirely your property. As for Miss Su Lina and the members of the troupe, it has been announced that they have all gone to jail."
"The beginning is fine, but the end needs to be changed."
Emery immediately said:
"Senior Su Lina is quite talented as a singer and dancer. It would be a waste to just keep her around as a pretty toy. She'll be making movies to earn money for me later... Hmm, have the police in Champs-Élysées issue a new statement saying that I'm kind-hearted and forgiving, and that I bailed her out of consideration for our past friendship. But she'll have to work for me from now on; she'll be my new employee."
"Understood, Miss. I will contact the Champs-Élysées Police Station shortly."
Marcy quickly pulled out her notebook and wrote down Emerald's orders.
"And what about the other thing? How's the progress?"
Amelie asked again.
"The same goes for you, Miss."
After finishing her notes, Marcy smiled and carefully put her notebook away.
"The civil engineering experts invited by the company have already inspected it. With a little repair and renovation, the Chenguang Opera House can also be used as a movie theater. It can be completed in 10 days at most."
"very good!"
*Snap!* Emery snapped her fingers, a smile involuntarily creeping onto her lips.
"Then I'll finish editing and producing 'Yulia 2' in these 10 days. Then I can take Senior Sulina to her old opera house to watch my movie together. She plays the main villain in the movie and gets defeated on the stage she knows best... Haha, her reaction will definitely be interesting."
"Wow... Emeralt, you're such a bully! You're so mean!"
Yulia couldn't help but complain.
Just as Yulia was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, and the assistant entered after receiving permission.
Still in the same bowing posture as when showcasing her new lingerie, the assistant asked Emerald in a soft, seductive voice:
"Mr. President, Mr. Haigs from the California Fisheries Group is here to visit. I have already led him to the VIP room. Would you like to meet him?"
Chapter 142 My young lady is beautiful and kind-hearted, I like her the most.
Mr. Haigs of California Fisheries is the financial backer of the Seafood Gang. His relationship with the Seafood Gang is similar to that of Emerald and the White River Gang, only he doesn't have as much control.
Deep-sea fishing in this world is quite dangerous. In addition to facing wind and waves, various monsters in the sea also pose a huge threat.
Therefore, every fishing boat not only needs to be equipped with magic cannons and shields that can be upgraded to magic devices, but also needs to hire mages to accompany it as guards.
Mr. Haigs' California fishing fleet has over 50 such vessels, demonstrating his company's considerable strength, at least financially, far surpassing that of Emerald... of course, referring to Emerald's lack of reliance on resources from her hometown.
However, Mr. Haigs had no conflict with Amelie and was even less willing to offend Amelie and the Melson family. His visit this time was not to demand an explanation, but rather to apologize.
Although he knew nothing about it beforehand, Jack was still Mr. Haigs's man, so Mr. Haigs had to take some responsibility for what Jack did... At least Mr. Haigs didn't dare to gamble on whether Emery would hold it against him, fearing that Emery would be petty.
So Mr. Haigs showed great sincerity; he not only visited in person but also brought a rare material that could only be collected in the deep sea as a gift.
Since they had shown such sincerity, Amelie was naturally not going to offend them. She personally took Marcy to meet Mr. Haigs, and the two exchanged pleasantries.
Mr. Haigs is over 60 years old, but he is quite strong. His plaid shirt can hardly hide his solid muscles. He speaks in a loud voice and has bright, piercing eyes.
Emery seized on this point and praised Mr. Haigs for being vigorous and healthy despite his advanced age.
Mr. Haigs laughed heartily, appearing very pleased. He praised Amelie's youth, talent, intelligence, and beauty, and then began to boast, bragging about how he fought several-meter-long crabs bare-handed on a fishing boat when he was young, and how he managed to escape from the pursuit of a hydra with his fishing boat.
Emery immediately understood what Mr. Haigs meant and immediately said that if she were to make a nautical-themed movie in the future, she would definitely give Mr. Haigs her first choice to work with, and could even have Mr. Haigs himself make a cameo appearance in the movie.
Mr. Haigs was naturally even happier. The meeting was a pleasant one for both host and guests, and the conflict between the seafood gang and the Baihe gang was completely resolved.
As for Jack? Who is Jack anyway? Does it matter?
The gratitude for being recognized and rewarded was very important to Jack, and he valued it highly. If it weren't for helping Sulina, he probably would never have betrayed Mr. Haigs in his entire life.
But for Mr. Haigs, there were plenty of people like Jack in all the dozen or so coastal towns in Calexca. Mr. Haigs only needed someone to help him protect his seafood market, so he picked out people like Jack to give them a handout... These people were just tools after all; Mr. Haigs didn't care about Jack himself at all.
Just as Mr. Haggs was finishing his conversation and preparing to leave, Emerald brought up Jack instead:
"By the way, Mr. Haigs, there's a small favor I need your help with regarding Jack... Don't worry, it's really just a small matter, very simple."
"……All right."
Mr. Haggs was indeed a little nervous for a moment, thinking that Emerald thought his apology was not enough, and he thought to himself that Emerald was indeed petty.
However, being an experienced man, he quickly discerned from Amelie's expression that while she did have some ill intentions, they weren't directed at him, and he regained his composure.
"Miss Melson, please tell me what you need to do. I will do my best to help."
"It really is just a very simple little thing~~"
Emery's smile was radiant, but beneath that radiance lurked a strange malice:
“Jack’s girlfriend is actually my senior from college. Mr. Haigs should have known this for a long time, right? There was a misunderstanding between my senior and me before, but we’ve made up now. I want to help my senior organize a funeral for her boyfriend.”
“But Jack was killed by me because he tried to assassinate me, so it would be really strange for me to pay for his funeral... But it would be very appropriate for you to do it, Mr. Haigs, since your relationship with Jack is no secret.”
"...You're going to hold a funeral for Jack?"
Mr. Haggs paused for a moment, then, seeing Emery's inexplicably mischievous grin, he quickly realized what was going on and couldn't help but laugh as well:
"I think I guessed what you were planning... Hahaha, I have to say, you young people really know how to play the game... Alright, I'll go back and arrange Jack's funeral. We'll set the date for three days from now, and invite some of the most important people in Champs-Élysées. What do you think?"
“Great arrangement, thank you so much, Mr. Haigs.”
Amélie saw her guest off with great satisfaction, and even gave Mr. Haigs a small protective magical artifact as a return gift.
After seeing Haggs off, Amelie returned to her office and got busy catching up on the work that had piled up while she was away for the past two days, as well as editing her new film.
The new movie is of course "Yulia 2". The main story is about how movies are booming as an emerging entertainment project, but they are met with jealousy and obstruction from traditional entertainment practitioners. The main villain is Sulina and her Morning Light Dance Troupe.
Having already produced two films, Amelie is now very skilled at editing and producing movies, and she is confident that the new film can be released on the day the Morning Light Opera House reopens after its restoration and renovation.
The next morning, in the same president's office as Emily, Julia finally met Sulina again.
Completely devoid of her stage presence and arrogance, Sulina's long hair, the same color as Yulia's, remained beautiful, and her waist, honed by 20 years of dance training, remained supple. However, her expression and demeanor were extremely delicate, like a rose about to wither after being battered by wind and rain, evoking pity in those who saw her.
But Yulia showed no pity whatsoever; instead, she wore a gloating smile, just as she had mocked Viliana before, and now she was equally merciless towards Sulina:
"Haha, you wicked woman, you've done all that bad stuff... You've been completely ruined by Emery, haven't you? You deserve it, haha!"
"..."
But Sulina and Viliana are different. After three days of intensive education and training, Viliana has completely fallen into depravity and will genuinely regard Emery as her master, and is also quite respectful to Julia.
Although Sulina was forced to submit, she did not completely succumb. If given the chance to resist, she would definitely bite Amelie hard.
Now, faced with Julia's mockery, Sulina naturally wouldn't give her a pleasant look. She simply glanced at Julia as if she were a fool and then ignored her, continuing to glare at Emerald with shame and resentment.
"No way! That's too outrageous... and you expect me to read it out loud with all my heart? How could I possibly do that?"
"What? What are you guys doing? What can't you do?"
Before Emery could even speak, Julia asked curiously from the side, completely ignoring Sulina's sour face.
"It's nothing, it's actually related to you, Yulia~~"
Amelie chuckled softly, her long, black-stockinged legs crossed, a pen twirling rapidly between her ring and middle fingers:
