“Yeah, it’s still a little weird.”

"serve……"

"Alright, alright." Although they wouldn't be discovered during the hug, Miss White Wolf's face was still very red. "I know everything else. To be fair, I have to become your guardian knight."

Ms. Qin Liu liked Bai Lang's peculiar idea very much: "Okay, but you have to wait. According to the rules, you must wait until a knight has fulfilled his duties before passing the position to another person."

"How long do we have to wait?"

"I'll tell you when the time comes."

"Hey~ Can't you reveal it in advance?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is the rule of the knights."

"Ok."

Miss White Wolf rubbed against Qin Liu affectionately, and then wanted to stop this wonderful hug between close friends, but found that it was not so easy. Now it was not her who was hugging Qin Liu, but she was hugged tightly by the latter.

Qin Liu didn't want to let go, but it was simply impossible. Miss Bailang was really... how to put it, the way she set a fire and ran away, her heart almost melted when she touched her, how could she possibly let go at this time.

While she was trying to find an excuse to cover up, she was greedily enjoying the dream-like contact experience: "Wait a minute, White Wolf, I'm thinking about how to comb your hair."

"Actually, you don't have to prepare anything. I was already prepared when I came."

"That won't do. Since we are in Victoria, we should follow the customs here. It's also a respect for Miss Firewhistle."

"Okay, you study it. I'll leave it to you."

Miss Qin Liu's fingers gently stroked Miss Bailang's long hair and shoulders and waist. After a brief moment of comfort and tranquility, she felt relieved and let out a long sigh, then smiled and pointed at the dressing table.

"Sit over there, it will be ready soon."

"Oh." Miss White Wolf jumped out of bed and walked to the dressing table and sat down.

The footsteps startled Miss Ceylon who was deep in thought under the bed. She listened attentively and observed with her eyes, and soon realized that Miss Qin Liu was combing Bai Lang's hair, and she was using the excuse of Victoria's visiting customs.

She clenched her teeth in anger.

This Vaifan knew very well that she was here, yet he still did such a thing in broad daylight. If she was not here, who knows what tricks he would play.

Evil Victorians, you are all vixens with cunning minds, and you like to use your Victorian customs to deceive Miss White Wolf.

You guys deserve to die!

However, as the saying goes, when you are under the bed, you have to bow your head. Miss Ceylon had no choice but to be angry. She stared outside, constantly condemning Qin Liu for taking her time in combing her hair. She finally managed to finish.

Seeing Miss White Wolf getting up to say goodbye and go to negotiate with the fire sentry, Ceylon suddenly rushed out after the door was closed.

There was a loud 'bang' and she covered her head in pain, tears almost coming out of her eyes. She was in too much of a hurry and the bed was hit hard.

Miss Qin Liu looked at Ceylon in surprise, the expression on her face was as if she had just noticed that there was someone else in the room. The expression was too real, and it was hard to tell whether she was pretending to have forgotten or really had forgotten.

However, Miss Qin Liu has never been a person who enjoys seeing others suffer. She immediately went to Ceylon and checked his injuries with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, there's no bleeding, it's just a bump."

"I know I did." Ceylon sat up angrily, "Let's talk, you know what you did!"

Miss Qin Liu's face turned red instantly. She knew exactly what she had done. Now thinking about it, it was really too much. Although Ceylon couldn't see it directly, there were still other people present. How could she do such a thing?

At that time, it seemed like I couldn't control myself at all, and Miss White Wolf was the only one left in the whole world.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't think too much about it and didn't consider your feelings."

Ceylon looked at Qin Liu in surprise. She didn't expect that the other party would apologize so sincerely. The anger in her heart immediately subsided.

After all, combing her hair wasn't something too excessive. She also combed Ina's hair when she was in school. Not to mention that it was completely acceptable to manage one's appearance before a business meeting. Moreover, the other party was her competitor, so it was normal for her to do something out of line.

"Well, forget it. I understand you. Let's get down to business. I'm leaving soon. I need to string together my testimony now to avoid any problems when I talk to Miss White Wolf."

Miss Qin Liu looked at Ceylon with admiration. She felt that the top students who graduated from the National University were different. They could clearly distinguish the primary and secondary issues in an instant, and then choose the most sensible long-term plan without hesitation.

She needs to learn this aspect well.

Chapter 2023 Fire Sentry Security Company 10-24-12 00:03:

Miss White Wolf contacted Oliver as soon as she went out, and the two parties agreed to meet in the small conference room opposite the infirmary.

On the way to the meeting room, Miss Bailang couldn't help but think about Qin Liu and Ceylon. At this time, she also vaguely realized that she seemed to have fallen into Miss Qin Liu's trap.

The other party used some method to change the topic, so that although they talked for a long time, they did not get to the point about Ceylon at all.

It seems that I have to wait until I get back and ask Miss Ceylon about it.

Before arriving at the meeting room, Miss White Wolf saw Oliver standing outside waiting from afar. She walked over quickly and met him.

"Miss Fire Whistle is waiting inside." Oliver whispered.

When Miss White Wolf entered the conference room, she immediately saw Miss Liberi sitting on the sofa. She was wearing an indigo short jacket and had short brown hair, and was dressed very neatly.

She has always liked this neat and tidy style. Her eyes lit up and she waved with a smile: "Hello, Miss Fire Whistle."

The fire whistle also stood up and returned the greeting: "Hello, Miss Olicia."

Oliver looked at the two of them cheerfully, "It seems that I don't need to be the introducer anymore. Then you two can talk. I'll go take care of some things first. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

"You go ahead." Miss White Wolf said goodbye to Oliver, then sat down on the sofa opposite the fire sentry and placed the folder on the mahogany coffee table between the two of them.

Ever since White Wolf entered the room, Fire Whistle had been observing him closely, secretly trying to guess his character, what kind of opening remarks would be most beneficial to the company, and what method of negotiation would be most appropriate.

She saw Miss Olicia winking at her: "Miss Firewhistle, I guess you are not someone who likes to be polite, let's get straight to the point. I believe you should know something about the situation of our company."

"I have looked into it specifically." Huo Shao admitted.

"Tell me."

"Your company's development speed is obvious to all. You should have mastered a lot of important achievements in the energy field. Based on my previous work experience, this kind of progress is bound to trigger competition between companies. It is common for competing companies to secretly use illegal means, so your company is in urgent need of professional security personnel."

"That's very clear." Miss White Wolf nodded. "Does Miss Fire Whistle think your team is capable of doing this job?"

Firewatch replied cautiously, "I dare not boast. My team alone is definitely not enough. Firewatch Security Company only has 27 operators in total, which is not enough to cover the defense of the entire company. But I can guarantee that each of us is an experienced elite."

"I also hope to be an elite." Miss White Wolf said leisurely, "But I want to know how your 'elites' compare to the official operators of Black Steel International."

Miss Fire Whistle was highly focused, and the way the other party got straight to the point while chatting and laughing made her feel that the other party was very difficult to deal with.

"Ms. Olicia, I have always attached great importance to the role of modern equipment, and Black Steel International is the most professional mercenary and security organization in Terra. Each of them is equipped with exclusive sophisticated weapons and equipment. This advantage is unmatched by any other security company. So I can only guarantee that, apart from external factors such as equipment, our people will have a crushing advantage over their regular employees."

"Overwhelming advantage?! Against Black Steel?"

Miss Firewhistle said calmly: "Yes, an overwhelming advantage. Of course, I am talking about ordinary employees here, not the elite operators of Black Steel."

"I understand, but I have a question that I can't figure out. I heard that your security company is almost in a critical moment due to business problems. Since your personnel are so strong, why did this happen?"

Miss Fire Whistle was silent for a moment. The answer to the question now would be the core of the entire negotiation and also the source of the poor performance of her security company.

She whispered, "Because most of my employees are infected, in this industry, companies will give priority to non-infected people to take charge of security tasks."

Miss Bailang is well aware of this. In most people's inherent cognition, infected people have always been an unstable factor, and the most important thing in security work is stability. The situation of infected security personnel can be imagined.

"Are you infected?" she asked.

"No." Huo Shao shook his head.

"Then I don't understand, why do you want to recruit infected people to set up a security company?"

"Ms. Olicia, this is a matter of personal opinion. If you don't agree, I believe there is no point in me explaining it to you. I can now tell you why I am confident that all of our people are elites, because in the entire Rem Billiton, we are the only security company that accepts infected people. This means that those elites in the field who have been rejected or dismissed by large companies because of their identity as infected people will consider my company."

“But it’s still difficult to run a business, right?”

"Yes." Huo Shao gritted his teeth, "It's much more difficult than I thought. I often go out to attract customers, but as soon as they hear that it's a security group for the infected, they all stay away."

"Have you ever thought that it was the infected that dragged you down? I heard from Oliver that Rhodes Island wanted to recruit you as their operator alone, but you refused."

"Ms. Olicia, I live with them every day. I am very sure that they have no problems in terms of their abilities or character. In fact, they are far superior to ordinary people. They just suffered injustice because of their illness. I cannot add fuel to the flames of this injustice."

Miss White Wolf nodded thoughtfully, but her expression did not reveal any inclination: "To be honest, I have asked someone to learn about your company, and now I am very concerned about your debt problem. I got the news that your debt is very high, and even the company's office has been mortgaged, and it may be auctioned at any time..."

Miss Firewatch nodded with difficulty. This was the most fatal weakness of her security company. Their financial situation was not tight, but heavily in debt. She was now like a person crossing the desert and dying of lack of water. As long as there was a chance to quench her thirst, she would agree to any conditions.

The partner requested the disclosure of debt information in order to assess the risks of the cooperation, which was something she absolutely could not refuse. Once this information was seen, her position in this cooperation could be imagined.

Huo Shao sighed in her heart. The company was already in this state. Did she have any choice?

She picked up a pen, wrote down the relevant debt information on the manuscript paper prepared by Rhodes Island, and then handed it to White Wolf with a look of despair.

Miss White Wolf read the debt list carefully and a smile slowly appeared on her face. Seeing her expression, Huo Shao felt even more uncomfortable.

"Fortunately, Bingshi can afford the money." Bailang asked with a smile, "Miss Huoshao, if Bingshi is willing to help pay off the debt, is your company interested in being acquired by us?"

Chapter 2023 Expanding the Network 10-25-12 00:03:

Generally speaking, self-made entrepreneurs with ideals and ambitions would not be willing to watch their hard work being directly acquired by large companies.

But that also depends on the situation. Huoshao Security Company is already in danger and faces the risk of collapse at any time. In comparison, being acquired is not unacceptable.

But the problem came again.

Why doesn’t the other party choose to cooperate through employment, but instead choose to acquire directly?

In this negotiation where the advantages and disadvantages are obvious, Bingshi holds the absolute pricing power. It would definitely be more advantageous to sign a long-term employment cooperation agreement. As for the acquisition, not to mention the huge loss in helping to pay off the debt, the only real estate that their security company can afford is far away in Rem Billiton, which has nothing to do with Ursus.

The whistle looked at Olicia in confusion, but the other party was still relaxed and natural. After noticing her gaze, he slowly smiled.

Hiss, I can’t figure it out.

After racking her brains for a while, Miss Huo Shao still couldn't come up with an answer, so she had to ask tentatively: "Ms. Olicia, if the acquisition is completed, then the management of the company..."

"You will still be the primary manager, and you will still be in charge of appointing other senior executives of Firewatch Security Company. However, I will also assign you some special tasks."

"What mission?"

Miss Bailang smiled and winked at her without saying anything. Huo Shao blushed, realizing that she had been too reckless. Before the contract was finalized, it was taboo to inquire about the other party's company's secrets without authorization.

She nodded to Bai Lang apologetically and asked, "Ms. Olicia, do you have to choose to acquire the company? I think cooperation is obviously more beneficial to your company. As you can see, our debt is very high."

"As for cooperation, we already have Black Steel International as our partner, so this time we are only considering acquisition." Miss Bailang shook her head. Of course, only she knew whether this reason was true or not.

Miss Firewhistle hesitated again. Judging from the current situation, the acquisition was the only way to completely save the crisis, and Miss Olicia also retained her management rights. It seemed very favorable, but what about her employees? Could the interests of the employees be protected?

She continued, “If you acquire Fire Sentry Security, will there be layoffs?”

"The company will not lay off any employee without reason. Even if someone is fired for violating regulations, they will definitely get your confirmation in advance."

"What about the medical care for employees? Most of our people are infected."

Miss White Wolf pointed to the ceiling and smiled, "Miss Fire Whistle, think about where we are negotiating, why Bingshi can have talks with you in this place, and who is our middleman? I can assure you that when it comes to medical conditions for the infected, Bingshi is definitely at the top of the list."

Miss Fire Whistle couldn't help but get excited. She indeed ignored what the other party said.

She had always thought that if she suddenly told everyone that the company was acquired, the employees would most likely be shocked. But if this condition was added, the so-called shock would be weakened to the point where it was insignificant.

Miss White Wolf was closely observing the Fire Whistle's expression, and when she saw this, a sly smile quietly emerged on her face.

"But." She spoke slowly, and Miss Fire Whistle immediately widened her eyes and listened to the other person attentively.

"Miss Firewhistle, you also know that medical services are expensive. In exchange for medical services, the operators of Rhodes Island basically do not receive any salary. Of course, we cannot compare with Rhodes Island, but in order to make up for the expenses, the salary standards will generally be lower."

The firefighter knew this very well. The reason why her security company went bankrupt and had not paid salaries for several months was largely due to the high medical service costs.

"It doesn't matter." Miss Fire Whistle said, "You give the specific conditions for treatment, and I will go and talk to them. I can guarantee that most people will stay."

Because there was no choice, Miss White Wolf thought that as long as the most basic treatment standards were provided, even the elite among the infected would have a high probability of staying.

After all, not everyone likes to live a life of blood and knife like a bounty hunter. A stable salary, a decent job, plus medical subsidies and accident subsidies, this kind of guaranteed welfare system will be sought after by more people.

However, Miss White Wolf hates the behavior of testing and pulling with employees, so she excludes the option of deliberate deduction by default. She will only give terms that she feels are reasonable, and her "reasonableness" often makes others jealous.

Her idea was simple. Bingshi was not short of money anyway. Judging from the development of Bingshi Energy Core, it was even less likely to be short of money in the future. So why not treat her own people well?

The promises made by the company are never a guarantee for employees to be loyal to them. Excellent welfare benefits are the key. Miss Fire Whistle's people only need to take out their mobile phones and study the work situation of their infected colleagues, and they will know what to do.

Next, Fire Whistle asked a lot of questions in succession, some of which Miss White Wolf could answer without thinking, while others required Miss White Wolf to make the decision after thinking about it.

The questions asked were all about what would happen after the acquisition, as if the acquisition was already an established fact.

"I feel like there's nothing more to ask." Miss Fire Whistle scratched her head and said embarrassedly.

"Then will you agree?" Miss White Wolf pointed out the key point again.

"Promise what?"

"Whether to be acquired or not, don't worry. If you can't be sure for the time being, you can give me the answer tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
