Mystic Dominator

Tonight's theater performance ended successfully.

Ronald bid farewell to the two investigators and returned to the boarding house alone.

in conclusion.

Today's contact with the countess went smoothly.

After a face-to-face meeting, in addition to the initial acquaintance between the two parties, the other party also clearly expressed his affection for Ronald.

At the same time because of the attention to detail.

Ronald did not reveal any special information.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Heloise's commission has a very good start.

Carefully recall what happened today.

After confirming that there were no omissions, Ronald lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Heloise just finished her performance tonight, so she probably doesn't have much time to come to her house to make trouble...

————

The next morning, Ronald rushed to the chamber of commerce in high spirits.

Although it is regrettable, [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance] does not adopt a five-day or six-day working hours per week, but a shift system that is flexibly adjusted according to the position.

As a "consultant" who was specially invited.

Ronald needs to report to the chamber of commerce seven days a week.

Of course, if you want to ask for leave, you only need to say it in advance or afterwards, and it will not be affected to any extent if it does not exceed ten days a month.

Compared with ordinary practitioners, this kind of treatment is already extremely favorable.

Not to mention for Ronald.

Information and books from the chamber of commerce are all he needs.

The essence of going to work is actually the process of collecting knowledge and information for Ronald, and he is the undoubted beneficiary.

So rather than being idle at home.

Ronald didn't mind going to the Chamber of Commerce to spend his time.

In particular, he can also enjoy the special and delicious staff meals provided every day in the chamber of commerce.

So, at four o'clock in the afternoon on the weekend.

Ronald's assistant Karin knocked on his office door.

The girl dressed as an elite in the workplace held the document in her arms, and the first words she met were what Ronald was thinking:

"Mr. Ronald, have you received an invitation?"

"The Countess Leticia's?"

"..."

How did Karin know that?

Facing this question suddenly, Ronald was briefly stunned.

But thinking about the intelligence gathering capabilities of [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance], he quickly put on a look of understanding:

"That's right."

"Karin, do you have any questions about this?"

The female assistant nodded without hesitation, and then took out a file she had prepared earlier from her pocket and laid it on Ronald's desk.

Quite actively bent over and stood beside Ronald, Karin pressed her finger on the document in front of her.

Then he explained in a serious tone:

"Yes, it's work."

"The arrival of the countess is a good time for the chamber of commerce to develop business."

"Although the chamber of commerce also arranges professional businessmen to contact Leticia, with the help of someone like you who was actively invited by the other party, the development of related activities will definitely be smoother."

"This is the general plan we have formulated."

"I'll bring Nikos' map over before dinner, and I'll explain the specific things to pay attention to at that time."

"..."

Following Karin's explanation, Ronald roughly looked at his own 'work document'.

Geographically, Nikos is an independent nation southeast of Grid.

Although they are both on the Latochoa continent, due to the interference of geographical factors, most of the trade activities between the two sides are ocean trade.

If there are Griders who want to enter Nikos from land.

Take the quickest route and start by trekking all the way to Brenwich to take the train into Entrod, then head south around the sprawling Joyz Forest before reaching Nicos.

On the contrary, if you choose the path at sea.

Then take a boat at the port of any southern coastal city in Grid, and then head all the way to the southeast to arrive.

In this case, the maritime trade between the two countries can be regarded as the closest type of communication.

The [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance] is focusing on the management of several cities in Nicos this time, hoping to break through some of the restrictions brought about by the [Gulf Chamber of Commerce].

This was originally within the scope of Ronald's work, and it was hard for him to refuse.

So after writing down the contents of the document in front of him, he asked again:

"Karin."

"Besides these, is there anything else to pay attention to?"

"..."

Ronald, the female assistant, hesitated rarely.

Her eyes wandered back and forth on the desk for a few seconds before Karin said hesitantly:

"If you have to... if you have to say..."

"You may want to pay attention to the people in our chamber of commerce."

People from the chamber of commerce?

Hearing this from the assistant, Ronald immediately realized that this matter might be troublesome.

"Can you tell me in detail?"

Karin went on to answer:

"Mr. Harvey of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Although he was entrusted with the job of negotiating with the countess, he is a strong businessman who doesn't like being interfered with in his work. You may encounter some unfriendly things."

"..."

Ronald ran his hand through his hair.

"Is it really okay for the Chamber of Commerce to let people of this personality contact the Countess?"

Hearing this question, Karin replied with a wry smile:

"Mr. Harvey is very confident in his masculinity."

"And judging from the past history, there is really no need to doubt this."

"..."

Who am I and Xu Gongmei in the north of the city?

After Karin explained this, this idea immediately popped up in Ronald's mind.

Quickly expel that thought from your mind.

Ronald nodded to express his understanding:

"Okay, I will pay attention to this matter."

"If that Harvey really shows hostility to me at that time, I won't take it to heart."

Seeing that Ronald answered his own tone quite seriously.

The expression on Karin's face immediately let out a sigh of relief:

"Troubling you."

"But after all, it is the arrangement of the chamber of commerce, and it is not easy to change it."

"If there is any change in this matter after that, I will notify you in time."

After speaking, Karin left the office as usual.

When the back of the female assistant disappeared at the door, the expression on Ronald's face collapsed in an instant.

Limp down on the desk weakly.

Ronald scratched the paper aimlessly with his fingers:

"What are you doing..."

"Everyone comes like this, feeling that I, the person holding the book, actually want to 'compete for beauty' with other men?"

With the salary of [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance], he, a modern man full of contract spirit, certainly understands the necessity of work, and at the same time, he has no objection to the emergence of this task.

But just thinking about how the countess behaved when she saw her last night...

Ronald couldn't help shivering.

His intuition told him that tomorrow night he will be at the ball where the countess invited him.

"perhaps……"

"Trouble is inevitable..."
