Chapter 243 No matter how much money you have, you can only hang your head under the blade
"Hey, tell me, is that really a princess?"
"Of course! Besides the princess, who else in the world can look so good-looking!"
"Princess, I think it should be a princess. I don't think anyone would dare to use the badge of the carriage outside. However, what I'm curious about is, is the other lady really our boss? Why have I never I have seen her!"
“. At a time like this, no one would dare to come out and impersonate, right?”
"I heard from the store manager that there was a new boss recently, but I really don't know who it is. Now that she has jumped out, there should be nothing wrong, right?"
"Hey, tell me, how big is our new boss, who can actually get involved with the princess, and even invite her to come to our little place?"
"Who knows?"
"Actually, it's very simple to know. Go and deliver some water, and you'll know if you listen quietly."
"Don't pull us if you want to die!"
"But, aren't you really curious?"
"What's the use of being curious, is this something we can be curious about?"
“.”
While the shop assistants were chatting eagerly in low voices, the female shop manager who entered the VIP room with the "boss" and "princess" suddenly came out.
"Lacey, hurry up, go upstairs, bring the tea leaves that I put in the storage compartment on the second floor, and just send them in."
"ah?"
The female clerk who was called out by the store manager was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly started, looking at her appearance, she seemed to hate herself for not being able to grow eight legs at the moment to make up for the time wasted by this stupidity.
Going upstairs, I easily found the tea that the store manager said. The store manager was no longer visible outside. Lacey didn't dare to procrastinate, so she hurried to the VIP room and lightly pressed the doorbell button on one side.
After three seconds, the door was opened.
"Two, two ladies, this is tea."
"Put it here." Charlotte pointed to the table between them, where a box with a very simple appearance was placed, and said softly.
Lacey timidly placed the tea box according to the girl's instructions, and was about to turn around and leave, but the girl stopped her again at this moment.
"Please wait a moment." Charlotte pointed to an empty teapot beside her and said softly, "Can you fill me with water?"
She said very euphemistically: "Although there is a drinking fountain in this room, I'm not very good at using it."
"Ah, good good good"
Lacy didn't dare to refuse, so the teapot came to the water dispenser in the VIP room in a hurry.
"A princess is a princess, and such a simple thing will not work"
While operating the water dispenser to discharge water, she murmured silently in her heart.
But her thoughts didn't last long, and was soon interrupted by the conversation between the two girls.
"Charlotte, don't you really want it?" Corinna said eagerly, "This is a real gem that belongs to the legend, it is blessed by the goddess, and the church in the imperial capital has personally certified it. You really don't want it?!"
The legendary gem? Or was it blessed by the goddess? Even the Imperial Capital Cathedral has come out for certification?
Is this something I can hear? !
Lacey's hand holding the teapot was trembling slightly, but her strong curiosity made her want to continue listening.
After silently saying "It's what they said has nothing to do with me" countless times in her heart, she held her breath and pricked up her ears.
Compared to Corinna's urgent tone, Charlotte's voice is obviously much calmer.
"Although it is something that has been blessed by the goddess, I can't use this blessing for the time being." Charlotte said with a light smile, "You also said that it is 'Hero Sapp and Valkyrie Stinavia' 'One of the tokens of love at the time of marriage. According to legend, the blessing bestowed on it by the goddess is also to wish that the love between the two couples will be pure and flawless, and I still have a long way to go before getting married."
"Give this blessing to me now, but it's a bit too early."
"The Hero Sapp and the Valkyrie Steinavia" is one of the earliest legends in the Rhine region.
According to legend, a long time ago, a depraved tyrant on the earth caused a disaster on earth. The goddess did not like this ruler, so she sent the Valkyrie Sinavia to eradicate this scourge. However, due to some accidents, the Valkyrie descended. At that time, he lost his memory and strength, and was picked up by Sapp, who was still a rogue at the time.
As soon as two completely different people met, they knew that the other party must be incompatible with them, so they fought on the spot, and then had to continue to entangle because of some accidents.
Later, under the tyrant's covetousness for the Valkyrie's appearance, the two had no choice but to cooperate and embarked on the road of resisting the tyrant. Valkyrie, how the two overthrew the tyrant and united under the blessing of the goddess.
In general, it is a relatively common legend. Compared with other legends, the advantage may be that the ending is more satisfactory.
And the "token of love" that Charlotte calls is the jewel in the crown of the defeated tyrant.
It was originally a symbol of depravity, but after the legendary goddess blessed it, it became a representative of purity and perfection.
‘It seems to be a good thing to get such a legendary item, but for a princess, it seems that it is really not necessary? '
Lacey looked at the teapot already filled with water in his hand, thinking silently.
She took a deep breath, calmed down, and was about to turn around when she heard the next series of conversations.
"." Corinna scratched her head, "Let's prepare it first and talk about it later? Anyway, I got it all, and I said it was a gift for you. You don't want it. Do you want me to give it to someone else?"
"It's not impossible." Charlotte smiled faintly, "Didn't you hear that someone was getting married on the way here just now? Just give it to them."
"You are really generous." Corinna said angrily, "Do you know how much I paid for this?"
"Don't forget it, and said to give it to a stranger directly, you really are."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Charlotte said softly, "I know you mean well, but what it represents is really far away from me, and my marriage... shouldn't be worthy of it. "
"." Corinna suddenly fell silent.
Charlotte didn't seem to notice her emotional change, and continued: "So, this 'blessing of purity' should be owned by someone who really deserves it. If you insist on handing it over to me, I will probably still go out I will give it to a couple in the future.”
"." Corinna pulled her hair, looking very tangled.
After a long while, she suddenly sighed, and then said as if giving up on herself: "I don't care, anyway, the thing is for you, and you can give it to whoever you want."
After speaking, she pushed the box towards Charlotte and left the VIP room as if fleeing.
"Pa-ta-"
Watching the door shut, Charlotte helplessly raised her forehead.
"Really" sighed slightly, she rubbed the center of her brows, and slowly raised her head.
At this time, she seemed to realize that the poor clerk who was stiff because he didn't get the next order had already stood by the water dispenser with his back to her for a long time, holding a jug full of water, not daring to vent his breath.
Don't look at me don't look at me don't look at me! !
Lacey screamed wildly in her heart, but unfortunately, she didn't learn how to turn herself into a transparent person, and she couldn't successfully cast spells just by chanting spells.
"come here."
Lacey felt a pain in his heart, turned around mechanically, held the water bottle, and forced a smile.
I don't know if her brain suddenly twitched, but she actually spoke first.
"Do you want to burn now?"
“.”
Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck!
What am I talking about? Help! !
Lacey wished that there would be a crack in the ground to bury herself at this time. If it didn't work, it would be okay if the ceiling fell down and crushed herself to death.
What did I eat to dare to say such offensive words at this time!
What is waiting for you below?
Was he quartered by five horses or hanged on the gallows? Burning is very painful, it must not be this, okay? The most important thing is not to put yourself in a harsh prison full of men!
Goddess, it will definitely die! !
Perhaps the temporary hugging of the goddess' feet played a role. The voice she heard was surprisingly soft.
"No need." Charlotte shook her head, then stretched out her hand to greet her, "Come here."
Lacey came to Charlotte tremblingly, and heard her whisper: "Do you know where those people asking for blessings outside come from?"
Lacey's first reaction was to say that she didn't know, but she was even more afraid of being hanged in the city after lying.
"I know."
"Then do you know the exact time and place when they got married?"
"also know"
"That's good." Charlotte pushed the box in front of Lacey, "Can you please give this gift to the couple when the time comes? If they won't let you in, just say 'Charlotte Ferdinand's wedding present, I'm sure they won't refuse."
Lacey, whose back road was blocked, laughed as if crying: "I will definitely complete the task."
"Thanks."
Charlotte thanked, and left the VIP room before Lacey recovered.
When Lacey returned to the hall, the princess's carriage had long since disappeared, and the mysterious boss had disappeared. At the same time, she kept looking at her with curious eyes.
"Hey, Lacey, did your Highness take a fancy to you? Otherwise, why did you go in for so long before everyone left?"
"No, it's not."
"How about it, have you heard any secrets, tell us about it!"
"No, no."
Lacey responded perfunctorily to everyone.
She was just given the "heavy task" and her mind was still in a mess. She didn't transfer back at all, so how could she have time to take care of them.
It's just that she didn't realize that her ignorance caused dissatisfaction among some people.
In human society, the reason why women’s jealousy is ranked higher than men’s is not because they are more likely to feel jealous than men, but because most women are unable to have better concentration, so that they can The jealousy flowed out along a certain gap.
"Okay, don't tell us if you get a good thing, it's a pity that we still treat you as a sister!"
"Lacey, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. When you came, we saw that you were young and took care of you everywhere. As a result, you have benefited now, but you don't share it with us."
"We're not trying to steal your stuff, so what can you do if you tell me?"
"Even if you got some secret mission. Say it yourself, after so many days of getting along, will we be people who are not strict with our mouths?"
Lacey looked up in a daze, her thoughts were already a little hazy, and she was even more dizzy when she was hit by the words of her "colleagues".
She is young, this job is her first job, and she doesn't know much about the society, how can she bear such yin and yang aura.
"I don't," she said, hanging her head, sobbing, "I don't get any favors, and I don't have any secrets."
Colleagues didn't feel pity because of this, and continued to ask aggressively: "Since it's not a secret, why didn't you tell us!"
"Come on, you just don't trust us."
"Alas, Lacey, count me blind, alas."
“.”
Facing so many disappointment mixed with sarcasm, Lacey couldn't hold back anymore.
She is just a little girl, how can she bear so many people dissecting her fragile heart with sharp words at the same time.
"Tell you, tell you all!"
She began to tell disheartened.
In a hidden corner, Corinna folded her arms and looked at the teenager beside her mockingly.
"Bullying the little girl, is this one of your plans?"
Lin En spread his hands innocently: "I really didn't arrange this. I can only say that when the plan changed, the process also changed."
Corinna curled her lips: "I hope so. Bullying the weak is really annoying."
"Then you can fire them all, anyway, you are the boss."
Lin En said something casually, and then suddenly laughed: "Speaking of which, miss, you really surprised me."
"In such a short period of time, you can make unrecognizable improvements to the plan to advance the plan. I have to give you a big compliment."
"Tch, who wants your praise."
Corinna raised her head, and the moment her hair fell down, she just covered up the flash of blush on her cheeks.
After a while, she said in a low voice: "Actually, it's completely different, and it's not quite right."
"My improvement is still based on your theory."
"You said that our target is those businessmen who have a good face but are unlikely to get a name. The charity auction is aimed at those rich people who want to gilt their titles, and we The gem in your hand is a prop that can 'golden' them."
"That's right, but this is already before." Lynn said.
"It's not much different now." Corinna said, "It's just that now we have narrowed the scope to a person, and the story background of the gem has become a product tailored for him. It can only be set for them. It's over."
After a pause, she sighed: "Compared with the previous plan, the error tolerance rate of the plan I made is not small. After all, there were more abundant candidates and time arrangements before. Now made it so urgent"
"Don't underestimate yourself." Lynn smiled, "Sometimes, a sudden inspiration may bring more generous returns."
"After all, the act of presenting gems is almost equivalent to the princess showing her favor in person. For a businessman who has nothing but money, this is an extremely honor that can't be exchanged for life."
"In the face of power, no matter how much money you have, you can only bow your head under the guard's blade."
"—No matter how expensive this head is."
