"I hope so. Now, let me first tell you about my father's reply. He clearly agreed."
"Is this the plan we drafted earlier? Are there any other conditions?"
"That's right, he also proposed other conditions."
"What conditions?"
While asking the question, Miss White Wolf had already begun to think about various possible situations, such as: If the conditions are more stringent, how to deal with it so as not to hurt Miss Ceylon's feelings.
Miss Ceylon held the red teacup and smiled, "He said that there is no need for that complicated deposit model in batches. Xiosta is willing to pay the full amount in advance."
"Full amount?!" Miss White Wolf widened her eyes in disbelief. After all, she hadn't even received the goods yet, and she had to pay the full amount right away. This was not something Xiosta should do even if she had money.
"Yes, it is the full amount. Father hopes that Miss Olicia will go to Xiosta to discuss the details, and the funds for the first batch of goods will be delivered on the spot. What do you think? Do you want to go? If not, I can refuse this offer?"
"Go!" Miss White Wolf nodded heavily. Since the partner took the initiative to show trust, she naturally couldn't fall behind.
She then added, "But I still don't quite understand why your father is willing to pay the full amount directly. It's a lot of money, and our goods will not arrive until several months later."
"I may know something." Ceylon said, "In a big way, the cooperation between Xiosta and RemBitto has been hindered, and the energy problem is imminent. In a small way, I personally participated in the development of the Ice Stone Energy Core, so it must have special meaning to my father."
"Makes sense."
"Actually, there is another reason." Miss Ceylon's expression became strange.
"what?"
"I think he wants to see you. He asked you to go to Xiosta for this purpose."
"Look at me?" Miss White Wolf was confused.
"It's like this. When you went to Longmen, I negotiated with my father many times. In the end, he said..." Miss Ceylon blushed, "He said that you gave me a drug that made me ecstasy."
"Ah, this..." Miss White Wolf looked blankly, and for a moment she felt her brain couldn't think straight.
"My father is very experienced in business cooperation. He has always wanted to get the company's information through me, but I didn't let him succeed. It must be because of this." Miss Ceylon looked at Bailang and said with certainty.
Bai Lang recalled the scene two months ago when Miss Ceylon approached her to discuss cooperation. At that time, she chose to trust the other party and handed over the affairs of Xiosta to Miss Ceylon herself.
did not expect……
She felt very wronged. She definitely did not give Ceylon any drugs. If Mayor Xiosta really let her go because of this misunderstanding, that would be very bad.
Seeing Bailang's worried look, Xilan encouraged him, "Miss Olicia, don't worry. With me here, your father will never dare to make things difficult for you."
This can't be done, Bailang secretly groaned in his heart. Mayor Xiosta might have just found that it was a little strange that his daughter's elbow was bent outward. If Ceylon helped to speak up, the misunderstanding would be even bigger.
Or maybe just don't go and find an excuse to be busy...
No, no, I have to go on this trip. It is a taboo to let such groundless things interfere with decision-making.
Anyway, the facts are there, she did not give Ceylon the love drug, and she has nothing to fear if she is innocent!
She looked at Ceylon and suddenly remembered what he had just said. She was now more sensitive, so she asked doubtfully, "Ceylon, did you use a honorific just now?"
Ceylon remembered that he had subconsciously used the word "you". After a brief thought, he generously admitted, "Yes, I think Miss Olicia is completely worthy of it."
White Wolf held his forehead with his hand: "Xilan, why do you think so?"
Unexpectedly, Miss Ceylon responded with great momentum: "Because I think it's right to think so, Miss Olicia. You went to Longmen, and I lived alone with the infected here, and heard them talk about you a lot. But in fact, I don't feel much truth when I keep hearing people say this kind of thing, including your speech at the graduation ceremony of the National University. I didn't feel much. But after that day, I found that I understood everything, Miss Olicia. There were so many people watching you on the stage, cheering for your words and crying. I have never seen such a scene in my life. I know that everything is true. I also understand why Aina Tianhuo likes you and Miss Eyjafara is willing to be by your side. Miss Olicia, you are different from anyone else."
Miss Ceylon spoke very freely, and these words caused a very complicated reaction in White Wolf's heart. On the one hand, she felt guilty and uneasy, as if those things had nothing to do with her. On the other hand, she felt happy, as if she had really done something recognized by others. Finally, she had an urge to black out.
Given Miss Ceylon's current condition, if she goes to Xiosta, will she really be able to explain it clearly to the mayor?
Chapter 2022: Trying to clear up the misunderstanding12-12-12 00:02:
Miss White Wolf felt that she had to correct Ceylon's wrong ideas. She believed that there were many misunderstandings and that the other party was most likely...
Well, it is most likely that you are unable to think straight at the moment, for example, you mistook A for B, overestimated the importance of C, and so on.
She cleared her throat and said earnestly: "Miss Ceylon, although what you said just now makes me happy, I must point out that you may not..."
"Is Miss Olicia happy?" Ceylon's eyes lit up and he stared at his boss with burning eyes.
Wrong, wrong, Miss White Wolf wailed in her heart. This was not the point she wanted to make, but since the other party had spoken, in order to avoid greater misunderstandings, she quickly explained:
"Because what you just said contains some compliments, normal people would be happy. So you see, I'm just an ordinary person, I just accidentally did something that people appreciated, it's definitely not as good as you think."
"Miss Olicia is indeed very ordinary." Ceylon said seriously.
"Yes, yes!" Miss White Wolf breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the other party coming to her senses.
“In the history of science, many masters seemed ordinary to those around them, and they even had many strange hobbies, but these did not prevent them from being masters.”
"what…"
"So, Ms. Olicia, you are ordinary, but that doesn't stop you from doing those things. You have given hope to many families of infected people. They originally had nothing, but you gave them everything they have now."
"But I just..."
Bai Lang was interrupted halfway through his speech. Miss Ceylon, who was usually gentle, was unusually strong today:
"I know what you want to say. You want to say that you only helped the people in the company and these hundreds of families, but that's because you are not capable enough for now. You have done your best within your capabilities. I am the daughter of Mayor Xiosta. I have seen much more about business affairs than Aina and the others. Take the ice stone energy core that you led as an example. It could have taken advantage of the technological black box and made huge profits for at least a few decades..."
"Stop talking." Miss White Wolf pleaded weakly.
"I'm going to say it." Ceylon said stubbornly, "Any businessman would do that. Since they can make more money, why not? But you are different. You keep the price at an incredible level, just the level that ordinary people can easily accept. Miss Olicia, I clearly remember that you were on Victoria's airship and you didn't even want to buy yourself a glass of expensive champagne."
"Well, no, don't say that anymore, Ceylon." Miss White Wolf covered her red cheeks. She couldn't stand compliments at all and couldn't stand such situations.
"Okay, I'll take it easy first." Ceylon looked at Miss Olicia and smiled secretly with his hands covering his mouth.
Miss Ceylon took less than three minutes to calm down. After taking a few sips of the tea, she couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Olicia, you still make tea for us every day without any airs. To use the Yan language, you can't find someone like you even with a lantern. I really want to thank Miss Lin."
As soon as she heard the three words "Miss Lin", the tormented Bai Lang felt that things had taken a turn for the better. She seized the opportunity and used her usual skill of changing the subject:
"Ms. Ceylon is actually a friend of Ms. Lin. I feel like your identities and personalities are so different."
"Xista always has to consider business development. It is said that our two companies have been cooperating for decades, so we are quite familiar with each other. As for your personality, I can't really explain it. Maybe we are similar in some way. People always say that you and your friend must have some similarities, otherwise it would be difficult to develop into friends."
Miss Bailang nodded in conviction. She agreed with what the other party said. Unfortunately, after looking at Miss Ceylon again, she still couldn't see anything in common between her and Miss Lin.
Could it be because both of them like to wear silky white gloves? Well, she also has a pair of white gloves, but that is a catalyst item for Originium Techniques.
She stopped thinking about these things and continued to ask Miss Ceylon some serious questions: "If we go to Xiosta, how should we arrange the itinerary?"
Miss Ceylon will be more clear about this aspect, as the other party has had experience going back and forth.
"Start from Koros City," Ceylon said, "Take the aircraft to the West Volk Skyport, where you can find Xiosta's tourist transport boat."
"What about time? Did your father mention the time issue?"
"No, Miss Olicia, you can come whenever you feel free. I calculated that if we stay in Xiosta for two or three days, plus the time spent on the round trip, it will take about a week in total."
Miss White Wolf lowered her head and thought. The academic conference would not be held until more than a month later, so it would be no problem to take a week or so now. And after all, this matter was related to the cooperation with Xiosta, so it would be better to deal with it earlier.
"How about we leave the day after tomorrow? I plan to take care of the arrangements tomorrow."
"Sure. For the day after tomorrow, I'll ask Hei to book the tickets."
White Wolf nodded: "Let's order it."
Ceylon picked up his phone to send a message to Miss Hei, while the idle White Wolf stared at the tea leaves expanding in the glass teapot.
She thought that the big misunderstanding between her and Miss Ceylon could not be left unsolved, so she looked up at her. Ceylon was busy with her phone, so she hesitated and said, "Ceylon, that..."
"What's the matter?" Ceylon raised his head.
"Well... let's just call him normally."
Ceylon immediately understood what was going on. When she saw Miss White Wolf's embarrassment, she couldn't help but laugh.
Miss White Wolf explained in a panic: "Ceylon, I have always treated you as a friend, so this will be misunderstood, and it is also very awkward to address you. Just think about it, what would Miss Skyfire think if she heard it."
Ceylon put the phone on the sofa, held his chin, and asked with interest: "So Miss Olicia is afraid that others will hear it?"
Miss White Wolf felt that what the other person said was strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange, so she could only nod awkwardly.
Ceylon held back her laughter. A special emotion pushed her to stand up, and she walked behind Miss Olicia, gently supported her shoulders, bent down and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, Miss Olicia, I won't tell anyone about it. How about just keeping it as our little secret?"
Of course she couldn't say anything nonsense. As Miss Olicia said, the other party treated her as a friend, and she also intended to treat the other party as a friend. A so-called friend is someone who, even if one day you suddenly realize that this friend is extraordinary, it would be difficult for you to change your words and use a respectful title.
Therefore, what she said before was more about expressing her own thoughts in private. After all, she didn't want to make Aina and Tianhuo feel strange.
Chapter 2022 Textbook Issues 12-13-12 00:02:
Is the misunderstanding resolved?
Miss White Wolf didn't know, she only knew that she was very nervous.
After Ceylon finished speaking, he did not stand up immediately. Instead, he smiled and asked her if she wanted to rub her shoulders. Before she could refuse, the other party took the initiative to start.
"Don't worry, Miss Olicia. Don't think of me as an inexperienced young lady. My father used to rely on me to massage him after a hard day's work. He always praised me for my good massage. Miss Olicia must have worked hard too."
However, Miss White Wolf felt that she was not tired, so she said honestly: "It's not hard. I have been free these two days. I have been reading and practicing swordsmanship."
"Reading is also tiring. When I was doing theoretical research at a national university, I was so tired that I felt dizzy every day."
"I'm not tired. I'm reading a novel, a historical story of Yan Country."
Ceylon complained a little: "Ms. Olicia, can't you cooperate a little? Or are you really not tired at all?"
"Ah, I... I'm telling the truth. Work is always busy for a while, and then it's easy for a few days. These two days are the easy time."
"No wonder."
"What's the wonder?"
"My father's shoulders always feel hard when I press them, but Miss Olicia feels they are soft. It turns out that he has too much free time."
"No, it has nothing to do with whether you are free or not."
"It does matter. When people have some free time, they will relax."
"I don't think so." Miss White Wolf insisted, "Press down a little bit, yes, right there, you can feel it, of course it's hard when you press on the bone."
"Soft." Miss Ceylon smiled.
"What?!" Miss White Wolf couldn't believe that the other party was lying with his eyes open.
"I said soft." Miss Ceylon smiled happily, "It feels good."
"You're talking nonsense. I won't press it for you." Miss White Wolf felt that the other party was acting strange and planned to change positions immediately.
"No, no, I was just joking, please forgive me."
"Don't say 'you'."
"Don't worry, I promise I won't call you that."
"I'm not at all reassured!"
"Okay, I'm wrong, Miss Olicia. I actually want to tell you something."
Bai Lang temporarily gave up the idea of changing positions and asked cautiously, "What do you want to say?"
"You know, hey, look, I used 'you', I'm very obedient, right?"
"Don't interrupt. Is there anything wrong?"
"Yes." Miss Ceylon stopped joking and said seriously, "As you know, I am co-authoring the history of Originium research with Professor Herzog. I was working on it when I was not in Longmen some time ago."
"Yeah, that's good. I support it."
"The situation with that book is this: Professor Herzog thinks that the existing Originium history textbook is too outdated. After all, it's been around for more than 30 years, so he wants to recompile it and publish it as a basic textbook for national universities next spring."
"Huh, I'm actually writing university textbooks with the dean. That's pretty impressive."
"Don't praise me, it's just a small advantage."
"How can you say that? You are an outstanding graduate."
Miss Ceylon blushed immediately and said hurriedly, "Don't say that. In fact, I am far behind Aina and the others, especially in scientific research. I was mistakenly regarded as an outstanding graduate simply because I can write things, such as papers, and later I did a lot of theoretical research with my mentors."
"People have many abilities, and what you are good at is also very important. I think that in the path of scientific research, both explorers and narrators are crucial. Otherwise, how can we spread the results? For example, the paper co-authored by our company was written by you."
"Okay, then I'll accept it shamelessly." Ceylon said with a blushing face, "My scientific research ability is average, so my graduation project is not about research. I chose to study the history of Originium instead. Later, I made some achievements, and Professor Herzog asked me to compile textbooks with him."
Bai Lang listened to the other party with a smile. She knew very well that the scientific research ability Miss Ceylon mentioned was generally compared with people like Aina and Ayafara, but if compared with the entire national university, the other party was definitely one of the best.
As for what Ceylan said about "a little bit of achievement", just listen to it. Since he was asked by Professor Herzog to compile textbooks, how could it be as simple as just a little bit?
"I believe in the professor's judgment. He is definitely not wrong." Miss White Wolf said confidently with a smile on her face.
