Chapter 240 239. Invitation From Baron Thranis
When Mo Cheng arrived at the factory, what was waiting for him was not as expected. A group of people surrounded the factory and ordered it to be blocked and closed.
Although there was a group of people standing at the door, they were still some distance away from the factory entrance, and they didn't look like they were specifically looking for trouble.
Mo Cheng had doubts in his heart and walked towards the door, asking: "What happened? Can anyone tell me?"
At this time, an old man with gray hair and meticulous housekeeping clothes walked out of the group of people at the door. He bowed slightly to Mo Cheng and said, "Sir, please allow me to solemnly apologize to you. As an apology, this is the land contract for your factory."
Mo Cheng frowned, he was a little unsure of this person's purpose. If a group of people aggressively forced the factory to close, it was just a dispute over interests.
But this kind of thing like apologizing first and then offering amends will only make Mo Cheng think that when you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.
and……
If Mo Cheng's memory is correct, he should have bought the land of the factory. This is obviously a land contract in the hands of an aristocratic steward. What's going on?
To be honest, Mo Cheng doesn't like this kind of guessing behavior, but others have already come to the door, so chasing them away directly is not a solution.
"It's okay, you can go back and continue your work."
First, he turned around and spoke to the people in the factory, asking them to go back to work. Then he turned to the housekeeper and said, "If you have anything to talk to me about, come with me."
After saying that, Mo Cheng led the way, taking the housekeeper all the way to the Albert House. The children in the Albert House were still in class, and Mo Cheng took the housekeeper to his study out of courtesy.
After brewing two cups of tea, Mo Cheng sat down and said, "Tell me, why are you bothering to find me?"
"I'm very sorry. I was supposed to come to visit you. But we sent two requests for a visit, but we didn't get any response, so we had to use this method."
The butler placed the land deed in his hand on the table again and pushed it forward. "This is the apology expressed by Baron Thranis."
Mo Cheng picked it up and looked at it, his eyes narrowed. This land contract gave a huge piece of land outside Fairhaven to Mo Cheng for free. He silently calculated the specific size of the land written on it and concluded that came to a conclusion.
Baron Thranis is so generous!
However, Mo Cheng did not directly accept this [apology], but pushed it slightly forward, "Baron Thelannis must have something to do with me. I won't hold your things until the matter is clarified." I don’t dare to accept it even if it’s easy to accept.”
Since the end of the [Collapse Incident], Mo Cheng has appeared in the eyes of many nobles in Fairhaven as a strong man who killed Ichkiel.
There was no way around it. There were quite a few people who came to the Law Enforcement Corps and the Knights who were born into noble families or had considerable connections with the nobles. It was inevitable that they would exchange information with the noble families behind them afterwards.
Moreover, when the monsters appeared under the sinkhole, Mo Cheng was the first to react, and the thunder in his hand was powerful and accurate. There were many magicians in Fairhaven, so we could see the power of Mo Cheng's hand.
So after that, Mo Cheng received visits or invitations to banquets from time to time. It was obvious that the nobles of Fairhaven were very happy to get to know a strong man.
It's just that Mo Cheng found the banquet rules of the nobles too many and troublesome, and he didn't know the etiquette of the nobles' communication, so he threw aside the invitations for visits and invitations to banquets, without replying at all.
Before he knew the factions and strengths of the nobles in Fairhaven, he would just wait and see.
You need to be cautious when interacting with others. This is true when you are in a foreign land, and it is also true in this world.
The banquets of nobles also have the function of expanding one's social circle. Basically, which noble's banquet one attends is to some extent an expression of one's position.
I can’t say which side I am completely on, but it is inevitable that my stance will shift.
"Baron Thranis would like to discuss a business deal with you."
Talking about business?
Mo Cheng immediately thought about what he had on him that could be used to do business with others, whether it was shimmering ointment, endurance potion, or...
Is it my own strength?
Hearing that he wanted to discuss business, Mo was too sincere to refuse. He didn't want to go to the banquet or anything because he didn't want to take sides so quickly. As for business, anyone can do it, the price is clearly marked, and there is no resentment if it fails.
Of course, if the other party has resentment, Mo Cheng has many ways to clear up the resentment.
"What business do you want to discuss?"
Seeing that Mo Cheng did not refuse, the butler bowed slightly and said, "Baron Thelanis would like to ask you to discuss this issue alone."
"No problem, now?"
"If your Excellency has time, Baron Thranis is waiting for a reply."
…
When Baron Thranis appeared, Mo Cheng thought he was looking at a ball of fire.
The flamboyant red hair and matching red and black skirt were extremely impactful. Even without any communication, Mo Cheng felt from the first impression alone that the Baroness Thelanis in front of him was not someone to be fooled.
"First meeting, the hero who saved Fairhaven, I am Helena Thranes. I hope my invitation will not make you unhappy."
The Baroness, who was wearing a gorgeous snow silk gauze dress and sparkling gemstone jewelry, lightly lifted up the tulle skirt and bowed her knees to salute Mo Cheng with a smile. Although I can't see the origin of this etiquette, I can feel something from this behavior.
Mo Cheng has had some dealings with nobles in [foreign lands] and knows that if a noble salutes you, they generally think that your status is higher in the exchange between the two parties. Of course, there is another possibility, and that is the kind of person who wants to ask for something, and the thing he wants to ask for is very troublesome.
"I am not a hero, and the so-called saving of Fairhaven is all due to the good cooperation between the law enforcement group, the knights, and more people."
"Humility is a good virtue, but too much humility is a kind of pride."
The baroness lightly covered her sexy red lips with her slender hands and let out a clear laugh, "But with your strength, you don't seem to have to care about the feelings of others."
Mo Cheng looked at the sun outside the window and wondered if he should let people tell the topic directly. He knew that some nobles had the habit of chatting for nearly half an hour before getting down to business, introducing the family's origins, family coat of arms, and even the family history of important figures who had come out of the family and what events they had played a huge role in.
To be honest, Mo Cheng was not interested in this kind of thing at all.
He had already experienced this situation several times when he was in [Foreign Land], and the CG that could not be skipped for half an hour was enough to become his nightmare.
Helena seemed to understand Mo Cheng's thoughts, so she expressed her intention very directly, "This invitation is to ask you about the Shimmer Ointment."
"I wonder if you have any ideas about expanding the production line?"
