Jessica, Jessica.
She wanted an apology and money. After apologizing, she wanted money. Ah, why did she always run into such embarrassing things? What if Jessica got angry and didn't give her money?
Surprisingly, Miss Jessica was not angry at all, and she took the money very quickly. Bai Lang borrowed 20,000 Longmen coins. After Jessica gave her the money skillfully, she also asked her in a friendly manner if she needed to borrow more.
Miss Jessica is such a nice person.
……
In Rhodes Island's office, Kal'tsit suddenly put down her pen and asked to herself, "Amiya, do you think someone like Miss White Wolf is a bit..."
"Stupid?" Amiya asked tentatively, poking her chin with the tip of a pen.
“Alas.” Kal’tsit sighed, “She is totally defenseless against others. I was just wondering, what if the help Rhodes Island asked her to help was to rescue that person?”
"Teacher, I think you're wrong." Amiya smiled secretly, covering her mouth. "Since Miss White Wolf contacted Rhodes Island, she brought back Ifrit and settled the Dragon Gate incident. These are not simple things. I think she understands everything. She just doesn't guard against people she trusts."
Kelsey fell silent.
Don't be defensive with people you trust...
Sure enough, he is exactly the same as that person, but this will not lead to any good result.
Volume 5: Chapter 27 The Last Stop
There was still a long time before the sun set, so Bailang bought the ticket for the aircraft and went to a roadside department store to buy snacks for Tianhuo and Aina.
By the time they fly to Kolos, it should be noon tomorrow. She can't let the senior employees she hired back go hungry during this time.
Twenty minutes later, she went to check out with bags of dried fruits, sandwiches, chocolates and other supplies. At this time, the Marquis's agent called her by chance. She had to tilt her head and put the phone on her shoulder to answer the call.
"Miss, the things you asked me to do this morning have been completed."
So fast? White Wolf thought, and she said, "Oh, thank you very much, how did it turn out?"
"We have contacted the staff of Londinium through remote communication. They have verified the identity of Rovos and found that he is a fake noble."
"Also, the Inquisition thanks you for saving the 231 lives on the airship. Thank you especially for dealing with the fake nobles and helping to maintain the collective reputation of the Victorian nobles."
Impersonating aristocrats? This noble court is a really good plan.
Everything about Roworth, the contrast between his strong self-confidence and despair, proves that what he said is definitely true. He is an out-and-out Victorian aristocrat.
Never mind. This kind of result should have been expected long ago. In front of the huge aristocratic group, Rovos is just a small figure. The nobles of the Inquisition would not even blink an eye to sacrifice such a character.
"Miss, the Inquisition has specially prepared a Silver Cross Medal for you."
Cross medal? It's useless and can't be sold for much money. Wouldn't it be better to just give her some money as a reward? A few tens of thousands of Longmen coins can make her happy for a long time.
White Wolf said dissatisfiedly: "Please tell them that I don't need it. It's just a small favor."
"But the master has already agreed to it for you."
……
Why did the Marquis suddenly get involved?
There's nothing we can do about it. This matter was handled so quickly, I'm afraid it might have something to do with the Marquis. I can only accept it.
Hey, if I get this medal, does it mean "I have shed blood for Victoria"?
This is so strange, isn't my character an Ursus noble?
While White Wolf was fantasizing, he asked, "Where is the Marquis lately?"
"In Saint Steed Castle, he will go to Koros in a while, and you can contact him then."
The Fortress of the Holy Horse is the capital of Ursus, where the emperor and the inner guards are located. It is also the most terrifying area of the entire empire's high-end military forces.
To be honest, this place is still very intimidating to White Wolf, after all, it is roughly equivalent to the enemy's base camp. But if she really goes there, it will probably be just like that. She is a real Ursus "noble", there is nothing to worry about.
After hanging up the phone, Bailang went to the front desk to pay the bill, then rushed to the floating port and waited for Tianhuo and Aina in the waiting room.
A group of children suddenly gathered around.
Bai Lang knew that they were interested in his snacks, so he took out bags of them and shared them with the little ones. The children were very sensible, and after receiving the snacks, they shouted "Thank you, sister" and ran away to play.
There was one exception, a 'little bear man' who was only as tall as the white wolf's knees. His round brown ears looked cute, but he was not very polite.
After he finished a piece of dessert, he didn't say thank you, but asked for a strawberry cookie with confidence, then stretched out his hand, waiting for the White Wolf to give it to him.
The White Wolf certainly wouldn't mind the kid, so he gave him a strawberry cookie.
The 'bear man' finished eating with satisfaction, and pointed at the bear biscuits in the bag.
White Wolf casually took a piece of cream cake to deal with it. The 'bear man' took the cake and saw that it was not what he wanted, so he threw it on the ground, stepped on it twice, and then hit White Wolf's leg with his little fist and said angrily:
"Give me the bear biscuits."
Whose naughty kid is this? How did his parents teach him?
White Wolf looked at the cake that was stepped on and stuck to the ground, feeling very unhappy, so he decided to help the other parent educate their child.
She took out the bear biscuits from the bag, shook them in front of the kid, and said with a smile, "Look, they are bear biscuits."
"Yeah, give it to me." The naughty kid nodded happily.
"It smells so good, it must be really delicious. What's more, it suits you very well. Look, you are both little bears." The white wolf sniffed the biscuit intoxicatedly and said in a tempting tone.
The naughty kid's eyes began to light up, he smacked his lips and tried to reach out to grab the bear biscuits, but with his tiny arms and legs, there was no way he could snatch anything from the white wolf.
Seeing that the time was right, the evil Miss White Wolf revealed her true face. She suddenly bit off the head of the bear biscuit with a "whoosh", and then swallowed the whole biscuit in two or three gulps.
"I ate the delicious bear biscuits."
The naughty kid was stunned for a moment, tears began to well up in his eyes, and he was about to burst into tears.
This scared the White Wolf. She was only concerned about her own happiness and forgot that she was in the waiting hall of the floating port with a lot of people. If the child cried, wouldn't she be labeled a child bully?
This world is so unfair. She was the one who was bullied first and she was even punched.
In a hurry, White Wolf took out a bag of snacks and stuffed it into the naughty kid's hand. While the kid was distracted, he ran to the corner of the waiting room and hid.
If you can't afford to offend her, you can afford to hide from her.
After Aina and Tianhuo arrived at the floating port, they searched for a long time before they found Miss Olicia. She was wandering in the west aisle of the waiting hall carrying something.
With so many things to carry, why not just sit and wait? Tianhuo didn't quite understand.
White Wolf was the first to explain: "I just sat for a long time, so I moved around here."
As she spoke, she carefully glanced around the hall. The naughty kid had already run away, which made her feel slightly relieved.
"Miss Olivia, what are you holding?" Ina asked.
White Wolf's face immediately lit up with a smile: "It's delicious. All of your favorites, cakes, sandwich cookies, dried fruits, everything."
"I want it, I want it, Miss Olisia is so nice." Ina cheered and took the bag from White Wolf and put it on her own suitcase.
Several people walked towards the aircraft happily together.
The next day, the aircraft landed safely in Koros City.
The moment the hatch opened, Aina and Tianhuo shivered with cold. The coldness in May in the north was comparable to that of early winter in Londinium.
Fortunately, Olivia had bought them thick clothes in advance, and this protection allowed the two of them to quickly adapt to the outside temperature.
The location of Ice Stone Mining is just on the north side of Koros City, and the journey of the three people basically ends here.
During this process, Tianhuo gradually discovered that there was indeed something extremely attractive about Miss Olisia, and she felt that she could more or less understand Ina's feelings.
Volume 5: Chapter 28: Zero Business Status
Bai Lang felt that the reason why the Marquis sent his personal driver, Mr. Mu, over was because he was worried that she would not be able to run the company, so he asked him to help.
Mr. Mu's abilities are obviously not limited to driving steadily. In the more than one month since she was away, he not only managed the employee management in an orderly manner, but also handled a lot of extra things.
First of all, in terms of the company's image, the entire area has been greatly improved compared to before.
Since the location of Bingshi Mining is on an abandoned military mining area, it retained the style of the original mining area at the beginning. It has a vast area, but most of the area is messy, with strangely shaped mineral rocks piled up randomly.
Now, most areas of the company have been renovated and cleaned. Large pieces of slag and strange rocks have been cleared away, and several clean and flat gravel roads have appeared on the ground. When Bailang brought Tianhuo and Aina here, he saw his employees sitting leisurely on the ground digging holes, with seedlings of flowers and plants suitable for growing in cold environments placed around them.
According to Mu, these tasks were taken voluntarily by the group of infected employees who were recruited by Bai Lang before he left.
Bingshi Mining is now in a state of zero business. The employees carry out literacy work every day according to the requirements of White Wolf. While enjoying free meals, food and lodging and getting paid, it would be uneasy if they didn't really do something.
So, at Mu's suggestion, everyone enthusiastically threw themselves into the company's renovation project, first cleaning up the waste, and then starting to improve the environment within the company. This behavior was actually also renovating their new home.
The internal facilities were also completed under Mu's command. The originally empty laboratory room was finely renovated, the central air-conditioning system was installed, and various basic materials were in place. It was only necessary for Tianhuo to determine the required experimental equipment and purchase and install it directly.
After arriving at the company, Bailang showed no sign of needing to rest due to the fatigue of the journey. She wandered around contentedly in this place that was both familiar and unfamiliar. Aina and Tianhuo also wanted to familiarize themselves with the new environment, so they followed her all the way.
During this process, Bai Lang was particularly happy to share her achievements with her two friends. She would always point to a new building and say:
"Let me tell you, when the construction of this restaurant started, I proposed a lot of revisions."
"I drew the design of that little bar. Even though it was modified a bit, it's still my design. What do you think?"
In response to Bai Lang's questions, Aina would just nod and say "Great". But Tianhuo, who was a few years older, was different. She pretended to be surprised and said, "This tavern is designed in a Colombian style. Miss Olicia, are you really not considering becoming a designer?"
As early as when they were discussing the laboratory drawings on the airship, Bai Lang had been holding her breath, wanting to show off her "genius" design mind. Now that Tianhuo praised her, her vanity was greatly satisfied, and her tail swayed from side to side with joy.
Along the way, they repeatedly met employees of Bingshi Mining, who would greet White Wolf with surprise and gratitude when they saw her.
At this time, White Wolf became quite reserved. She would gently ask all kinds of employees, such as those who planted flowers, paved roads, did landscape design, memorized the alphabet, did arithmetic problems, etc., how everyone was doing recently, and then solemnly introduce the two "great scientists" behind her.
Tianhuo was the first to say, "Ms. Olicia, are these all employees of Icestone Mining?"
"Yes."
"But how come they..."
Bai Lang interrupted with a smile: "Do you find it strange that they do everything? Actually, the company doesn't have any specific business yet, so they just do whatever they want."
"I see, they don't look like employees at all now. Instead, they look like, like..."
"The residents living here." Ina suddenly added.
"Is that how you feel?" White Wolf let out a long sigh, a complex emotion of relief and sadness on his face. "Actually, what I hope is that they can treat this place as their home."
"All employees of Ice Stone Mining are infected. In Ursus, the situation of the infected is very difficult. Each of them has suffered pain that others can hardly imagine. My ability is limited. I can only protect a small number of people and ensure that they can live a normal life here."
The white wolf bent down and picked up the ice mist flower that was crushed by stones on the roadside. This little life was trying hard to survive. When September comes and the north begins to enter a long winter, it will bloom with dreamy white petals in the severe cold.
Can the infected people in Ursus survive as tenaciously as this ice mist flower and bloom brilliantly one day in the future?
It was the first time for Tianhuo and Ina to know Olisia's thoughts, and they both fell silent. Their identities meant that they would only be exposed to Victoria's top scientific research circles, so it was difficult for them to consider the problems of ordinary people at the lower level.
Tianhuo's mood might be even more complicated. She prided herself on being well-informed and knowledgeable. After seeing the internal situation of Bingshi Mining, she concluded that Olisia did not understand employee management and began to silently estimate the company's losses.
Olicia's idea was like a cross-dimensional blow to her. She realized that the two people's thinking was fundamentally different, and she also discovered what was missing in her own thinking.
The so-called economic rationality is meaningless. Miss Olisia's behavior is cost-effective, Tianhuo thought silently.
What kind of person did she and Aina follow to Ursus?
Even though he had figured it all out, the sense of responsibility in his heart still drove Tianhuo to speak with great hesitation: "Ms. Olicia, your idea requires continuous and huge financial support. The longer it takes, the more it will cost..."
Bai Lang understood that Miss Tianhuo was thinking in the wrong direction: "Tianhuo, don't underestimate everyone. I believe that they will not let down the suffering they have endured. In the future, everyone will use their own hands to obtain everything they deserve."
Looking at the two people who were still in a daze, Bai Lang suddenly showed a sly smile of success. She grabbed Aina and Tianhuo's hands respectively, put them together, and said happily: "That's why we need you. Once our research plan is successful, we can make money together and don't have to worry about anything."
Miss Tianhuo suddenly felt a surge of pressure.
Ina, who had a simple way of thinking, didn't feel any pressure. After listening to what Olisia said, she felt strangely calm, like a calm lake.
She naturally decided to support this man forever.
At this moment, something external suddenly attracted Ina's attention, making her confused again: Miss Olisia's hand touched the back of her hand!
Volume 5: Chapter 29 Short-term plans
After settling Tianhuo and Aina, Bailang returned to his room to study the company's future plans.
In this field, she only had theoretical knowledge from books and not much practical experience. After thinking for a night, Bai Lang finally gave up the long-term plan and planned to adopt a more controllable phase system, proposing a feasible plan for each stage, and then formulating the next plan based on the actual situation after completion.
So, there was a company development meeting the next day, which was the first important meeting after the establishment of Bingshi Mining.
The meeting was held in a brand new conference room that had just been renovated. There were only four participants: Bai Lang, Tian Huo, Aina, and Mr. Mu.
At the beginning of the meeting, after explaining the purpose of the meeting, Bailang directly announced the establishment of the Ice Stone Mining Energy Research Institute. Taking into account that Miss Tianhuo might return to Victoria next year and Ina was a person who only liked to do research, Bailang would take on the position of director of the institute. Although Tianhuo was only a deputy, he actually had full authority to handle the affairs of the institute.
