Gold is Justice

On the other hand...

Hahaha!How in the world can there be a perfect plan?Although Coco said these things in a terrible tone, in fact, as long as you think about it carefully, this plan can be easily brought down.

Without him, just hire more people.

After the flower fairies or blood races find that they may not be able to make enough cigarettes, they can spend money to hire people to let more humans participate in their cigarette making.

If this is the case, Song of the Mermaid is doomed!

So, in order to avoid such a bad situation, let's withdraw this pretense for a while now.

Thinking of this, Ariel's always serious face finally eased a little.She returned to the posture of pressing her hands on the table just now, and said slowly——

"I'm just here to tell you, please don't just sign contracts with other people that you think are perfect. You see, even I, who is closest to you, may let you sign such a contract." An unequal contract, and you will suffer miserably in the end. If you encounter other human beings who want to deceive you in the future, you'd better weigh it first."

Both the Flower Fairy and the Blood Race had expressions of relief on their faces.Seeing this, in order to prevent them from thinking that they can solve the problem by hiring more people, Ariel quickly changed the subject, with a smile on her face again, and said: "Then, let's follow the previous statement now, my four , each of you will be divided into three. Then, in order to make the cooperation between us less tense, we will not set a monthly sales volume. Well, we will sell as much as you can, so that you can also easily How about a little?"

Although this so-called "easiness" is essentially based on the hard work of these two races, but because Ariel said it with such a sweet smile now, it seemed that the two races had a sympathy for a while. An illusion that "this human being is really thinking about us".

And based on this illusion, Ariel finally successfully signed a second re-drafted contract with the flower fairy and the blood race, and then handed over these contracts to Suta behind her and kept them away.

"Well, it's already... oh! I didn't expect it to be past midnight?"

After the contract was signed, a sense of drowsiness immediately came to my mind.

Ariel covered her mouth and yawned slightly, and said with a smile: "Everyone, why don't today's meeting end here? Well... If you have anything else to say, we can continue the meeting tomorrow. Yes, Miss Qiangwei, are you going back to Shining Forest so late? If it’s really inconvenient, you can stay at my Mermaid Song for one night. Don’t worry, I won’t charge you for the accommodation.”

Now that the meeting is about to end, Qiangwei bowed slightly to Ariel and said, "Don't bother Mrs. Ariel, it is impossible for us flower fairies to live in the Shining Forest all day long, which is also important for our work. Inconvenient. So we have already set up a temporary residence in Pelican City, and we will go there to rest tonight."

Ariel's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Oh? Temporary residence? I'm also very happy that you are willing to live in the city."

There was a smile on Qiangwei's face again, and she nodded lightly: "It's just a temporary residence in some treetops and some attics that no one cares about. If Lady Ariel wants to see it, you can take a look now .”

Tiredness welled up in her heart, Ariel covered her mouth and yawned again, and said, "Ha~~~ow~~~Okay, I'll come and see tomorrow."

Ariel stretched her waist. The two blood race members over there are also preparing to leave their seats. Everyone is preparing to leave their seats now. When they want to go back to rest...

"That... can you... please wait a moment?"

But at this moment, the Mayor of Round Cheese, who had been by the side all the time, was acting as a foil, and now suddenly spoke——

"Could you please wait a moment? Although you had a very good discussion just now...but on my side...President Ariel, I also have some things on my side. I actually want to discuss with you. Of course! I won't waste Too much time, I just... just have a little... a little thought."

The other three parties are now ready to leave. It is conceivable that the mayor basically has no influence not only in the eyes of Ariel, but also in the eyes of the flower fairies and the vampires.

But for the sake of his sincerity, Ariel finally let out a breath, sat down in her seat again, and said with a smile: "Mayor Cheese, what do you want? If the topic is complicated, We can talk again tomorrow."

Round Cheese hurriedly waved his hands, and said nervously: "It's not complicated, it's not complicated! It's a very simple thing! It's just... that's right, you see, even though you've been talking about the big business of a thousand gold coins just now, such a big business I don't know. I can’t interject, and I don’t have the energy to intervene, and I don’t understand. But…hehe, um, um… adults of the blood race, I want to ask you about the cost of setting up a stall in Pelican City, please Can you give me a letter? If it’s a new city, it’s okay, but if you set up a stall in the central square of the old city...you have so many cigarette stalls in one go, this is not a small amount.”

It was okay at first, but when the mayor of round cheese suddenly said about the booth fee, the one-eyed man over there suddenly became angry.His palms turned into claws, and he violently opened a shaving mark on the table, saying: "Is there still no end? Is there still a charge for this? We have already paid [-]% of the income to President Ariel, your side Want more?!"

Faced with the one-eyed scolding, Round Cheese visibly shrank for the first time.

However, it was just a shrinking, and slowly, he stretched his neck again, and said in a timid but brave tone: "The central square...a stall...is for collecting money...! That...if you...don't pay...what will other people think? If other people think that they don't have to pay as long as they set up a stall in the central square...the income of Pelican City...how amazing is it?"

Speaking of this, Yuan Cheese saw that the one-eyed man over there didn't respond, and quickly turned his head to look at Ariel here, with a very aggrieved face on his face: "President Ariel! Booth fee... this booth fee can't be taken at will. Just exempt it casually, right? Your taxes will be handed over directly to the lord. I, the mayor, will not be able to see the money, but the entire Pelican City must continue to operate, so I am counting on collecting it now. Booth fee! You... You also helped me to ask for the booth fee, right? You also helped drive away those vendors who refused to leave the best part of the central square, right? Now it’s not because you want Helping the blood clan occupy the booth without paying?"

To be honest, Ariel really forgot about this.

Originally, when Pelican City was just a small town, there was not much population here, and the central square was in disrepair for a long time, and there were many open spaces. Everyone could set up their stalls wherever they liked, without any problem.

But now, the entire Pelican City has a population of almost 2000. Although it is not an inch of land, the central square as a business hub is indeed somewhat overcrowded.It is indeed necessary to adjust it in this case, and charging is one of the adjustment methods.

but……

Ariel is a little tired now.

She thinks there's no need to come to her for such a thing, right?

Although I have contributed a lot to the construction of Pelican City, but after all, I am also the president of Mermaid Song, not the mayor or lord of the entire Pelican City, right?

These problems should of course be for the mayor of Pelican City, Round Cheese, to figure out a way to solve them, instead of finding all the problems on his head.What kind of reputation is this for yourself?You have neither the identity of the lord nor the responsibilities of the mayor. If I need to help you solve everything, then why do you have the title of mayor of round cheese?

Thinking of this, and the fact that the night is really dark now, Ariel is also in a bad mood, frowning, looking at the mayor's expression of begging for help, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Round Cheese looked more and more nervous now, and his eyes were full of pleading gestures when he looked at Ariel.

Of course, if things continue like this, things will be endless, and Ariel wanted to go back to sleep quickly, so she could only shake her head slightly and said, "This question... why don't we think about it tomorrow? "

"Huh? Tomorrow?"

Round Cheese was a little nervous, and after thinking for a while, he said: "But... this matter is not troublesome, I have already drawn up the booth fee in our central square, as long as you can see if you can agree...President Ariel , I also know that you are quite busy with things, if it wasn't for the lack of time to find you to discuss this issue carefully, I wouldn't be in a hurry to bring up these things now..." Ariel turned Looking over, I saw that the two guys of the blood race were in a state of high emotion now.Although the Flower Fairy looked a little tired, it shouldn't be very obvious.

After thinking for a while, she turned her head and said to Round Cheese: "Well, I know about this matter. I will spare half a day tomorrow morning to discuss these matters with you. How about it?"

With Ariel's promise, the mayor finally breathed a sigh of relief.He finally put away the document in his hand, hugged it in his arms, nodded enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning is also fine! I believe in President Ariel!"

At this point, today's meeting is finally completely over.Although there was a little episode in the end, Ariel had to take some time off the next morning's work, but in general, everything went smoothly.

Leaving the mayor's mansion, the vampires returned to their quarters.The flower fairies are also going to their station in Pelican City.

The mayor of Round Cheese led his assistants to watch Ariel and the others leave. After waving for a long time, he finally closed the door, turned off the lights and went to rest.

Song of the Mermaid and his group walked on the street illuminated by the elemental lamps, while chatting, they began to walk in the direction of the guild. They were also preparing to end today's busy day and take a good rest.

Walking on the road, then of course you will start chatting.

In addition to the things discussed at the meeting, as well as the small talk about the flower elves and the blood race, the topic turned to the last round cheese without knowing it.

Ke Ke: "The mayor is really getting more and more outrageous. Didn't you see that our president's sister is very tired now? You are still in a hurry to bring over such trivial things to our president's sister decision."

Cream laughed aloud, and said, "Isn't this just proof that the current sphere of influence of our Mermaid Song in Pelican City has reached a level that we can't even imagine?"

Suta, who was walking beside him, didn't laugh directly at this time, but frowned and said: "Actually, think about it carefully... this kind of thing should be decided by him, the mayor, and then he will inform us? After all, whether it is Whether it's Song of Mermaid, Blood Race, or Flower Fairy, we are all citizens of Pelican City in a general sense. Especially Song of Mermaid, we don't have the qualifications to decide how much we should pay for the booth."

Following Suta's words, the other members nodded one after another.

After a moment of silence, Cream suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "President, let me see, why don't you let me be the mayor of Pelican City? That round cheese was a little bit old when I looked at it before." Yes, but in recent times his hips have become more and more stretched, just like the meeting just now, in name it was a four-way meeting between us, but he didn’t have any opinions other than listening to us.”

Suta nodded slightly, and also said: "Yes, why did it become like this?"

Ke Ke put her hands on her hips, raised her head triumphantly, and said with a smile, "Isn't that simple? Because that uncle Round Cheese's mayor status was inherited from his father's status."

Suta: "Inheritance?"

Ke Ke nodded: "That's right! Before our mermaid song stationed in Pelican Town, this town was basically a fringe town that no one visited for four or five hundred years. The population here was sparse, and there were even only two people at the least. 500 people. Of course, such a number of people does not require any meticulous management, but only needs an organizer who can get along well with everyone and is willing to greet everyone when there is something to do. In this case, the round cheese My father became the mayor of the town, and everyone got used to it, so it was passed down from generation to generation, and has been passed down to Round Cheese.”

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Actually, you should all know, right? Our mayor is not so much a mayor manager, he prefers to run his own cheese shop!"

"In this way, as the population of Pelican City expands, his method of relying only on acquaintances will gradually become unworkable. Especially this year, the population of Pelican City has expanded to nearly 2000 people. I don't know him. The mayor already has more people than people who know him! Of course his management methods are getting more and more stretched."

Obviously, Suta didn't think of this layer.She shrugged her shoulders a little, turned her head, glanced at Round Cheese's house again, and sighed with pity: "Our Mr. Mayor... is really tired..."

"Is he tired? What is he tired of?"

Ke Ke shook his head, and continued to say nonchalantly——

"I come to our president when I encounter problems all day long. I can't handle this one today, and I can't handle that tomorrow. I don't know how to charge the booth fee. How to deal with the blood, flower fairies, and humans who are also citizens of Pelican City I don’t know about the relationship between them. Even the candidate for one of the three judges to be established in Pelican City has to be Sister Suta from our Mermaid Song. Did you know two days ago? That fat man is even more Excessive! Even the matter of how to drain the sewers in the new area came to our guild. Does our guild leader look like the person who came to drain the sewers for him?"

Speaking of this, Ke Ke suddenly turned her head away, stared at Ariel at the side, widened her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and said with a little dissatisfaction—"Sister President, sometimes I really feel that I should let you come Be the mayor of Pelican City? Round Cheese is no longer good, he no longer has the qualifications and ability to lead our entire Pelican City, right?"

This sentence was only said lightly on Song of the Mermaid.

Looking at the other guild members around, they didn't show any expressions of surprise or feeling anything wrong.

It seems that they all think that there is nothing wrong with what the little girl said now.

only……

"Okay, okay, it's so late today, let's rest first."

Seeing, everyone has come before the guild.

Ariel stretched out her hand and patted Coco's shoulder lightly, raised her head, looked at the signboard of her guild that was close at hand, and smiled again——

"I'm really tired today. Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about anything. Everyone, remember to have a good rest, and don't forget about tomorrow's work."

Seeing that Ariel is not responding now, the members didn't think there was anything wrong.After opening the door, they greeted each other and went back to their rooms.

Seeing this, Ariel also stretched, yawned, and went back to her room.After a brief grooming, she was finally able to lie peacefully on the bed that she had slept on for more than three years, closed her eyes peacefully, and fell asleep...

----

Become the mayor of Pelican City?

Originally, Ariel thought this was just a topic expression of her guild members chatting.

Ariel has never had any objections to this kind of topic, anyway, it's just to talk to each other, chat, vent the emotions in their hearts, and exchange feelings between guild members.This is not a bad thing.

Therefore, she really thought that this was just a small talk, as long as she slept for one night, everyone would forget what to do afterwards.

But it turns out that she was thinking too much about this...

Early in the morning, Ariel slept soundly.

The whole refreshing feeling is really great!This feeling of being able to rest comfortably and then recharge is a rare experience.

However, when the president tidied up his makeup, tied his hair around his head and walked down the stairs, sat down comfortably in the rest area and was about to enjoy a relaxing breakfast...

pat.

The little white cat suddenly jumped onto her table, sat down, and curled its tail in front of her.

"what happened?"

Ariel poured herself a glass of water and took a sip.At the same time, he glanced in the direction of the kitchen, with some expectation in his heart.

"That paladin went out early in the morning."

Napa also knew what Ariel was thinking, so she simply said——

"She said that she was appointed as one of the judges of Pelican City, so she needed to carefully study the legal clauses that you just compiled yesterday, and then ran out with that thick law to negotiate with the flower elf."

Ariel pouted, a little happy.She got up and went to the kitchen, scooped out a bowl of porridge and bread that was prepared early in the morning, returned to her seat, and said with a smile: "She is really getting better and better~~~ Hee hee, I I'm really looking forward to what it will be like when her husband wakes up and sees that his wife has not only become a powerful paladin, but has even become one of the three judges in our city expression."

For Ariel's compliment, Napa lowered her head and glanced at the porridge set in front of the girl.Just as she was about to pick up the spoon, she raised her paw very simply, blocking her bowl.

Seeing this, Ariel frowned slightly, and put down the spoon.

"Although our paladin worked very hard, she had to prepare breakfast early in the morning and then go out to study the law. However, she forgot the most important thing to do."

Napa's beard is a little blown up now, and there is a little dissatisfaction in those beautiful royal blue eyes——
