My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

The chefs of several large restaurants in Saint Laurent City were all preparing meals in the kitchen, and the people attending the banquet were all business celebrities in the empire.

However, the irony was that the purpose of this banquet was the funeral of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, which was once the first chamber of commerce in the empire.

Yes, after fighting a trade war with the Lison Chamber of Commerce for more than half a year, Louis, the president of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, had completely lost the ability to fight against the Lison Chamber of Commerce.

First, the branches of the major dukedoms collapsed and were acquired, and then the changes in the Naples region directly wiped out the rights and interests of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce in Naples.

With Celinina being elected as a minister in the cabinet of the Duke of Naples, she is quite successful in both politics and business, and she is no longer comparable to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, the faces of the celebrities participating in the exercise were all filled with smiles.

On the prairie, when a lion successfully hunts a bull and feasts on it, the surrounding jackals, hyenas, and vultures rush up and eat the remaining flesh and blood of the bull, leaving only a skeleton.

The fall of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce is bound to mean a major reshuffle of the imperial business community.

The new chamber of commerce represented by the Lison Chamber of Commerce will replace the old chamber of commerce and redistribute the market share of the empire.

In addition to distributing goods, the new chamber of commerce can price goods more freely because it has more control over the production links of goods.

At the same time, the new chamber of commerce has also carried out a large number of other businesses and created a lot of revenue.

Just like this banquet, only the Lison Chamber of Commerce can declare its rise in such a big way in the heart of the empire, Saint Laurent City.

At the same time, when the banquet hall on the first floor was bustling with people, the meeting room on the second floor was silent.

Chelinina sat on one side of the negotiation table, and the only person accompanying her was Orson.

Opposite her were her father Louis and elder brother Mark.

Louis and Mark looked at the contents of the acquisition terms. Although the conditions were very harsh, they still left a considerable amount of cash property.

With this money, even if they did nothing in the second half of their lives, they could still live a rich life.

Louis was old, so this clause was naturally not attractive to him, but it was undoubtedly very tempting to his son Mark.

The Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce was already dead in name only, and the revenue data of various businesses in the past month had been rotten.

In the eyes of others, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce had nothing left except its fame.

In this case, instead of inheriting a heavily indebted chamber of commerce in the future and spending his whole life to pay off his father's debts, it would be better to sell the Lison Chamber of Commerce now and make his life better in the second half of his life.

Yes, the acquisition was initiated by Mark.

Seeing that his son had lost confidence and even joined other managers to put pressure on him, Louis was forced to sit at the negotiation table.

"How?"

Cherinina said casually.

"I held a banquet downstairs today. If our negotiations go well, you two should be able to have a good meal downstairs."

Mark heard this, glanced at Louis beside him, and then whispered:

"Father, you are the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and you should talk to my sister about this matter."

Louis closed his eyes when he heard this.

All the past events appeared in front of his eyes.

From the first time Chelinina rebelled against him, to later confronting him, and the subsequent business war.

Yes, she gave her the first pot of gold, but the things that followed were all her hard work.

Whether Orson helped her or not, Louis believed that Chelinina could defeat his Chamber of Commerce in the future.

After a long time, Louis opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

He looked at Mark beside him and said angrily:

"Mark, if you and your sister switch genders, I won't leave you a penny."

He said this, signed his name on the acquisition contract, then stood up, came to Chelinina, and took the initiative to hand it to her.

The identities of the two, at this time, apart from the relationship of kinship, have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Chelinina, congratulations."

Louis said this with a fake smile.

"You have successfully destroyed the foundation left by your grandfather and built your business empire on it."

"You are very powerful, Chelinina, as a father, I am proud of you."

Although it sounds ironic, Louis' words are sincere.

"Although I regret that I didn't know who my successor was until the end, it doesn't matter. As long as the empire's business overlord is still firmly in the hands of the Bonaventura family, I will be at ease."

Chelinina took the contract from Louis's hand, glanced at the content, and nodded.

"In that case, let's tell the people below this good news."

Chelinina and Louis walked out. At this moment, only Orson and Mark were left in the conference room.

"Haha... Duke Orson, long time no see, you are now the Duke of Naples."

Mark saw that there were only two people left in the room, so he wanted to take the initiative to build a good relationship with Orson.

"I was also born in Naples. Strictly speaking, I should be considered your subject."

Orson said nothing and looked at Mark with interest.

He wanted to see what else he could say.

Mark saw that Orson did not reply to him, although he knew that he was just trying to get a cold shoulder, he still continued to talk.

"Um... Duke Orson, I want to ask, what do you think of my little sister? Of course, I know you have a fiancée, but you have helped my little sister so much, it is impossible that you have no thoughts about her... "

"Mr. Mark."

Orson finally spoke.

"What do you want when you say so much now?"

"No...it's nothing. I just want to ask some things. If Duke Orson finds it inconvenient, then don't say anything..."

"Not really."

Orson shook his head.

"You left a good impression on me, but your father left an even better impression on me."

Orson said this, and the happy expression on Mark's face immediately overflowed.

Sure enough, flattering is still useful.

But why did he say that his father gave him a better impression?

Is it possible that his father, who doesn't like Orson and Chelinina on the surface, is actually secretly befriending them behind the scenes?

What, he thought his father was such an upright person, but at this point, shouldn't he still have to give in?

"Want to know the reason? Your father, Mr. Louis, who just left, I was quite impressed by his words."

Mark was shocked when he heard this.

Could it be that his father also said some thought-provoking quotes?

"At that time, I think if I tell you, you will definitely remember it."

"At a banquet in Saint Laurent last year, Mr. Louis invited Donny, the then Duke of Napoli's son, to prepare for a relationship between him and Chelinina. Do you remember this banquet?"

When Mark heard about this banquet, he immediately understood that there was something in Orson's words.

They say it's a good impression, but in fact it's probably not the reason for the enmity.

"Remember, remember..."

But helplessly, I have already said this, which means there is no way back and I can only continue to continue this topic.

"At that time, I obeyed Chelinina's wishes and stood up to protect her, but your father said: 'Your family was just a duke more than ten years ago. Before that, you were not even worthy of entering such a social situation. ! '"

"At that time...my father was too angry and said some irrational words. If I offended you, Duke Orson, please forgive me."

"Of course, it's not offensive to me, it's just offensive to my loved ones."

Orson shrugged.

"After all, my family was created by my father's hard work and his military achievements on the front line were accumulated bit by bit. I don't want to reduce his value to nothing because of the ridicule of such people."

"However, now I have a new understanding of this sentence."

Mark heard this, leaving a trace of cold sweat, and then asked:

"Duke Orson, what do you have in mind?"

"People's status will change with the change of the environment. I agree with this sentence. The change of the environment now is that you have lost the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce. From today on, you are just ordinary people with a little money. I’m afraid you won’t be able to fit into the social scene downstairs.”

With that said, Orson also stood up, turned around and left the conference room, leaving only Mark alone.

Arriving downstairs, deafening applause came.

In the center of the banquet, Chelinina announced to the business celebrities attending the banquet that the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce had been acquired by the Lissen Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, Chelinina successfully completed her revenge on her father.

She completely shattered the shackles that once tried to hold her down, broke through the cage, and became her own master.

When Orson saw this, he heartily applauded Chelinina.

He helped Chelinina a lot, but Chelinina also did not burn bridges. Instead, she understood why she succeeded and never treated Orson badly.

Because of this, the two established a close cooperative relationship, and Chelinina even confessed her feelings to Orson in the end.

After the banquet, Orson followed Chelinina to the roof of the Chamber of Commerce. On the balcony on the roof, the two of them were enjoying the evening breeze.

"Congratulations, Chelinina, you have completely succeeded now. From now on, you will be the freest person."

In the acquisition contract, there is an additional clause, which is to end the father-daughter relationship between Chelinina and Louis. Although Chelinina will still retain the surname of the Bonaventura family, she will never pay any attention to her father and brother. The family obligations of the three.

In other words, when the three of them are on the streets in the future, don't think that Chelinina can help the three of them.

"Hey, isn't this all because of your help, Orson?"

Chelinina is also obviously very happy. After completely acquiring the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, she will basically be the one to speak in the empire's business community.

Pricing, supply, handling fees, etc. are all firmly in her hands. Not only does she eat meat, but she also has to drink soup according to her own mood, instead of having to share it with others.

Recalling the process of her struggle with her father and brother, Chelinina felt dreamy.

"Don't say that, Chelinina, of course you have your own reasons for success."

Orson said this, raised his glass, and clinked a glass with Chelinina.

"Although your father and brother seem to be incompetent, that's just compared to you. In fact, if their abilities don't change, they can still maintain the foundation of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce."

"Of course I know that."

Chelinina nodded, took a sip of red wine, and then pointed to the former headquarters of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce not far away.

"I have had a dream since I was very young, that is, one day I can become the master there."

"But as I grew up, I found that what my father asked me to learn was completely different from what I wanted to learn. My father asked me to learn etiquette, musical instruments and gardening, and even arranged for me to learn housekeeping skills. There was just no arrangement for me to study business management.”

"I started to study on my own, staying with my father, watching him, and learning from him."

"Now that I think about it, maybe not having been taught by others gave me a different understanding than them, which helped me a lot. Otherwise, I would probably have the same thinking as them."

Saying this, Chelinina couldn't help laughing at herself.

"Actually, now that I think about it, I seem to have the same idea as them. It's just that your appearance, Orson, gave me a new understanding."

"So, after all, Orson, to me, you are not only an important advisor, but also a mentor who changed my destiny, and..."

Saying this, Chelinina rested her head lightly on Orson's shoulder.

Orson's body stiffened for a moment, then he adapted to the feeling and relaxed.

"Don't talk about me being so powerful, I'm just an ordinary person."

"If you can only be considered an ordinary person, then everyone in the entire empire may be a mess."

Chelinina was joking.

Afterwards, a silence fell between the two.

Looking up, the two looked at the bright moon in the sky until it was shrouded in dark clouds.

"It should rain tomorrow..."
