Yes, Lady Funina!

At the same time, he kept nodding his head, echoing what Funina said.

"Yes...yes...yes."

He had never felt that the sofa under his butt was so hot, making him fidget and feel like a thorn in his back and a lump in his throat...

"What should I do?" Bossuet asked for help, asking Richard as well as himself.

After hearing what Richard said, Bossuet felt that what he wrote was not a security report at all, but a time bomb!

It's like a boomerang that has been thrown out. Sooner or later, it will come back and smash your head and make you bleed, leaving you in disgrace!

Seeing that they had almost finished talking, Richard excused himself and went with Funina to the Opicule Opera House to watch the trial.

When Harbaugh saw that Richard had finished singing the white face part, he stepped forward and sang the red face part at the right time and said, "There's no need to worry so much. You just need to polish the ending a little bit."

"Although no danger has been found in the Inazuma Tadashi Sand so far, due to the small number of developed areas and relatively primitive ecology, with the development of the Tadashi Sand in the future, considering various factors, it is possible that other dangerous situations may occur."

“Out of consideration for the safety of life and property of practitioners and investors, Professor Bossuet advises everyone to make decisions with caution.”

Volume 13: Chapter : Intimate Distance

Inazuma's embassy in Fontainebleau is nicely decorated. The warm sunlight shines through the clear glass and falls on the precious carpet, making the spacious and open embassy office feel a little warmer.

Yae Goddess walked barefoot on the soft blanket. Her feet were plump and crystal clear without looking bloated. Her toes were smooth, delicate and shiny, and slightly curled. The instep of her foot extended in a crescent shape to her delicate and bony ankle, and faint blue veins could be vaguely seen.

The owner of this pair of beautiful feet was not in a good mood. If possible, she would like to stuff her feet into Richard's mouth.

She casually threw the Steambird newspaper with the words "Professor Bossué publishes a report on the safety assessment of Inazuma, his attitude is ambiguous and there may be other hidden secrets" on the table.

Accompanying the Steambird Report is the Inazuma Safety Assessment Report issued by Professor Bossuet. Although the report shows the safety of the Inazuma sand-trampling environment, the uncertain message at the end is thought-provoking.

However, this is enough for Richard and his team to deal with those scholars and businessmen who are blinded by profit.

"Master Palace Master, should the follow-up research funding for Bossuet continue?" The witch standing opposite the coffee table asked respectfully with her head lowered.

"Of course, since we have promised others something, we must do it. Otherwise, we will be criticized and our losses will only increase." Yae Shinto was not upset by this defeat.

Nor did he get angry at Bossuet's sudden change of heart and stop funding his research.

Even though the paragraph at the end of the report greatly reduced the effectiveness of the report, it was still sufficient as security evidence for introducing the Fontaine consulting team.

In fact, Richard's purpose was not to prevent Yae Shenzi from attracting investment in Fontaine and introducing senior technical consultants in Fontaine.

Instead, it is to increase the voice of the city hall represented by Richard in this transaction as much as possible.

Both Yae Shinko and Richard believed that the success of this transaction was inevitable, but the process was tortuous.

What they have to do is to lower the other party's price as much as possible and achieve final success at the lowest cost.

Of course, there are some off-field factors involved. For example, Yae Shinko wants to win the game and make Richard go back to Inazuma with her.

Richard wanted to control the mouth of Yae Shen Zi and prevent this guy from saying anything that would affect his glorious image in front of his boss. By the way, he also wanted to pull a handful of fox fur to add a strong stroke to his political achievements.

It is impossible to go back to Inazuma, as the saying goes, a good horse never turns back. What's more, Richard's governing philosophy is seriously contrary to Ying's, and he can't beat Ying. If he goes to Inazuma, he will just go to jail and become a tool for Yae Kamiko and Ying to rule Inazuma.

Well, maybe toys.

In comparison, Fontaine is much better. It not only has an enlightened social atmosphere, but also has core technology that is unique to Fontaine. The most important thing is that it is impossible to find a god as obedient as Funina anywhere else.

The obedient God was sitting at her desk at the moment. Her eyes were deep and wise, and her manners were elegant and noble. She looked at her executive secretary and said, "Richard, what do you think of my action? Can it intimidate that Eightfold Son of God?"

Richard showed an awkward but polite smile on his face, and he answered appropriately: "Lady Fininna, although momentum and appearance are important at the negotiation table, the most important thing is how many bargaining chips each side has in hand."

"Do we have enough chips?"

“No less than the other party.”

"Then I must also overwhelm my opponent in momentum and appearance and achieve an all-round victory!" said Funina seriously.

Richard thought about it, but couldn't find any reason to refute the other party. Of course, the main reason was that Funina didn't seem to be involved enough.

Or...she is too idle.

This made Richard wonder, was it possible that the information he had prepared for Funina was too little?

Or maybe Finina's ability was beyond his imagination, and she could easily absorb and digest that little information?

"Lady Funina, you are the leader of this negotiation. Please be cautious in the subsequent negotiations." Richard said.

"Of course, I will be very cautious and not let my opponent find any flaws in my demeanor." Funina said confidently.

She couldn't guarantee anything else, but she had a firm grasp of her temperament and manners, ensuring that she could display the majesty of the Water God.

"Don't let your opponent find flaws in your speech, Lady Finina," Richard added.

"Speak?" Finina's confident expression froze, revealing a puzzled look.

Richard suddenly had a bad feeling, and he asked tentatively: "Lady Fu Nina, don't you know that you are the one leading this negotiation today?"

"I know, but isn't it always the case that the bosses chat about random things, and then the subordinates negotiate with the other party's subordinates, and finally both parties reach a satisfactory result, and the bosses sign on the paper to complete the negotiation."

Fu Nina looked at Richard holding his forehead with his hands, widened her eyes and asked, "Isn't that so?"

"I'm sorry, Lady Finina, where did you learn this?"

"Opicele Opera House. In fact, before I took office, I specifically asked the actors how to show that majestic yet friendly temperament."

"Well, politicians are indeed actors in a sense, and their acting skills are better than most actors. But Lady Funina, I clearly remember that I told you to take some time to read the materials I prepared for you, right?"

Furninna thought about the family ethics drama in the courtroom yesterday and the styles of afternoon tea desserts in the past few days, but she didn't think of the information Richard prepared for her.

But Funina also had her own way. She said, "Well, this, of course I have seen it. You know the wife of the family that Villette tried yesterday and the neighboring family..."

"Lady Furninna, your way of changing the subject is not very clever." Richard interrupted Furninna with an expressionless face.

"I've read the report, but do you know the seriousness of the problem?" Funina wanted to use the same method that Richard used on Bossuet on Richard.

"Oh? Please enlighten me, Lady Funina." Richard remained unmoved and acted as if he was willing to hear more details, ready to listen to Funina's opinion.

"I..." Furninna was at a loss for words. She had never even opened the report, so what insights could she have?

"In fact, Lady Finina, the information I prepared is not a report, so the 'Four Rules of Overturning Reports' do not apply (scare off the reporter, question the one-sidedness of the report, cater to the majority, and stigmatize the author)." Richard saw through the trick that Finina wanted to play just now.

"Then what should I do?" Funina asked humbly.

"Of course..." Richard was about to blurt out, but then he thought, why should he teach Furninna this?

The most urgent task now is to help Funina catch up with her lessons so that she can cope with the subsequent negotiations.

"Of course, before the Inazuma delegation arrives, I will tell you the main points of this negotiation. Now, Lady Funina, please turn to page 3 of the document..."

"Oh..." Fu Nina obediently opened the information, but she was secretly delighted in her heart.

She successfully used jokes to make Richard ignore her dereliction of duty, get away with it, and offered to help.

What? I'm still very talented.

Richard glanced at Funina who seemed to be listening attentively, and suddenly said, "In view of your dereliction of duty this time, I think it is necessary to explain to Lord Villette that you are prohibited from going to the Opique Opera House without completing your duties."

"No!" Furninna's reaction was unexpectedly strong.

Richard raised his eyebrows. He didn't know what he had said just now that touched Furninna's sensitive nerves and caused her to react so violently.

Richard didn't say anything, he just looked at Furninna calmly.

"Ah, no... I'm sorry, what I mean is that I will read the information carefully in the future and promise not to make the same mistake again, so..." Finina's voice became smaller and smaller, and she became less and less confident. She grabbed Richard's sleeve with her little hand, looking pitiful.

It can be seen that she seemed to be really afraid of Richard's proposal just now, so she took such a humble attitude at this moment and asked for Richard's forgiveness.

From the perspective of others, it was like a well-dressed beast using some despicable means to coerce an innocent and beautiful girl into doing something she didn't want to do.

That is to say, there were no outsiders in the office, and Clorinde was guarding outside and did not come in. Otherwise, if she saw this scene, she would have been taken down by Richard.

"Lady Fu Nina, you got the wrong information." Richard sighed and reminded her.

Funina's face flushed red, and she hurriedly threw the documents in her hand aside and rummaged through the thick pile of documents.

Richard handed the document in his hand to Funina and said, "Please use my copy, Lady Funina. Time is running out. The time agreed with the Inazuma delegation will come in half an hour."

"What about you?" Furninna looked at Richard. Did he memorize all the information?

That was a whole stack of information, and when stacked up on the table it was as high as a fist!

"Of course we will share the same information, Lady Finina. You don't think my memory is good enough to remember so much information, do you?" Richard walked around the table and stood beside Finina. He bent down and began to analyze the data and key points that would be needed in the negotiations.

Furninna stared blankly at Richard who had put his head close to her, and her brain seemed to have suddenly shut down.

Obviously, they were not very close, only about the distance of a head, but it made Funina feel nervous. Her body tensed up involuntarily, her white and slender thighs were pressed tightly together without a gap, and her hands were pressed neatly on the thigh flesh, just like a college student who was interviewed for the first time.

"Look at the information, don't look at me. Are there any words on my face?" Richard felt like he was tutoring a stupid but well-behaved pretty female student.

"Ah, no, no." Funina quickly shook her hands and said without thinking, "Your face is very clean, there are no words on it."

"Of course I know there are no words, Lady Finina. Did you hear what I just said?" Richard asked.

"Of course, you just said..." Furninna actually repeated everything Richard had just said.

Although Funina looked like she had a beauty that was not tainted by knowledge, if she really took it seriously and combined it with Richard's explanation, it would be no problem for her to get a general idea of ​​the information in a short period of time, at least so as not to be too nervous during the negotiations half an hour later.

Soon the agreed time arrived, and Clorinde knocked on the door to remind Funina and Richard that the Inazuma delegation was already waiting in the conference room.

Then Clorinde saw Richard stand up from beside Furninna, and her Lord Water God's face was flushed.

Clorinde's thoughts inevitably diverged subconsciously, with the following keywords: office, half-elf, adult man, girl, being alone...

Linnet walked in with Clorinde, her pretty face expressionless. She glanced at Clorinde and explained for Richard, "The air is not circulating, and you are too close to each other while sharing the same document. It's normal for you to blush."

"So that's how it is..." Clorinde nodded seriously, her expression serious as if she was not the one who had the wrong idea just now.

She believed Linnitt's explanation and didn't care why she knew so much about it when Linnitt was not in the room just now.

In fact, Clorinde herself didn't think anything would happen between Richard and Finnina, and she was just a guard. Even if something really happened, as long as Finnina was willing, she had no reason to intervene.

When Furninna saw Clorinde and Linnet, she subconsciously lowered her head and straightened her clothes.

Girl, your action can easily be misunderstood!

As expected, Linnette's cold eyes looked sharply and emotionlessly at Richard, who was dressed neatly beside her. That look made Richard feel as if she was looking at an insect.

Richard looked calm. How could he be frightened by Linnet's eyes?

I, Li, have an upright character and I am not afraid of any criticism.

His relationship with Funina was innocent and pure, a friendship between a king and his subject. Although he admitted that there was indeed some scheming involved in him approaching Funina to give her a lecture just now, he did it in order to do his job better in the future.

This is necessary.

There is a safe distance between people. The process of gradually shortening the safe distance is also a process of increasing intimacy.

Richard just used a legitimate reason to slightly break through Funina's safe distance.

The benefits of doing so are obvious. When the distance between two people gets closer, there will be a change in intimacy between them psychologically - they will be more willing to recognize that the person closest to them is their most trustworthy close friend.

In this way, if Yae Shinko gets upset and explodes with him, or if what happened to him before comes to light, Funina might give him some room to maneuver for the sake of their friendship.

As long as there is room for maneuver, Richard can do anything he wants. The moment he ran away from Inazuma was the best example.

"Let's go. Don't be too late, or else Lord Yae-miyaji will find an excuse to attack us."

Richard walked out of Funina's office with his head held high, and what stood out was his toughness!

PS: PY with the kind elder sister

Introduction: Mingxue, who died of an illness, was resurrected in Tokyo in a parallel world. Her appearance and figure were said to be like Yukinoshita Yukino in the anime.

What bothered him most was that there were ghosts in this world. In order to survive, he had to become a witch.

But can anyone explain why, no matter if it's the ancient witch with white hair and red eyes, or the innocent vampire lady, or the girl in black wielding dual swords, they all want to marry him!

Even those demons and monsters are the same, the problem is...

But he is a man!

I don’t want to get married!

The Boy Who Is a Miko Doesn't Want to Be Attracted

Volume 14: Chapter If I could start over again...

With sufficient intelligence support and the home advantage, Funina fought a beautiful draw with Yae Shinko.

As for the result of the negotiations, it can't be considered bad, but of course it can't be considered good either. Neither side has gained much advantage over the other. However, cooperation is the product of mutual compromise. If you are given the advantage everywhere, it would not be called cooperation.

It's called bullying.

After the cooperation was discussed, the tense atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly dissipated, and was replaced by peace and tranquility.
