Chapter 239: Baron Seranis’ Invitation
When Mo Cheng arrived at the factory, what was waiting for him was not what he expected. A group of people surrounded the factory and ordered it to be sealed and closed.
Although there was a group of people standing at the door, they were some distance away from the factory gate and did not look like they were there to cause trouble.
Mo Cheng was puzzled and walked towards the door, asking, "What happened? Can anyone tell me?"
At this time, an old man with gray hair and a meticulous butler uniform walked out of the group of people at the door and bowed slightly to Mo Cheng, "Sir, please allow me to solemnly apologize to you. As compensation, this is the land contract for your factory."
Mo Cheng frowned. He was unsure of this person's intention. If a group of people were threatening to close the factory, it was just a dispute over interests.
But this kind of thing of apologizing first and then offering compensation would only make Mo Cheng think that when you give a gift to someone, you must be asking for something in return.
and……
If Mo Cheng's memory is correct, the factory's land should have been bought by him. What's going on is obviously the land contract in the hands of the noble butler?
Honestly speaking, Mo Cheng didn't really like this kind of guessing game, but since others had already come to his door, simply chasing them away wasn't a solution.
"It's okay, go back and continue your work."
He first turned around and told the people in the factory to go back to work, then Mo Cheng turned to the housekeeper and said, "If you have something to talk to me about, just follow me."
After that, Mo Cheng led the way and took the butler to Albert's House. The children in Albert's House were still in class, so out of courtesy, Mo Cheng took the butler to his study.
After brewing two cups of tea, Mo Cheng sat down and said, "Tell me, what is it that you're looking for me for?"
"I'm very sorry. We were supposed to visit you at home. But we sent two requests for a visit and received no response, so we had to resort to this method."
The butler put the land contract in his hand on the table again and pushed it forward. "This is Baron Seranis's apology."
Mo Cheng picked it up and took a look at it, his eyes narrowed involuntarily. This land contract gave Mo Cheng a huge piece of land outside Fairhaven for free. He silently calculated the specific size of the land area written on it and came to a conclusion.
Baron Serannis is so generous!
However, Mo Cheng did not accept this [apology] directly, but pushed it forward a little, "Baron Serannis must have something to ask me. Before I figure out the matter, I can't and dare not accept your things."
Since the [collapse incident] ended, Mo Cheng appeared in the eyes of many nobles in Fairhaven as a strong man who killed Ichikiel.
There was no way around it. At that time, many of the people who came to the Law Enforcement Corps and the Knights Templar were born into aristocratic families or had close connections with the aristocracy. It was inevitable that they would exchange intelligence with the aristocratic families behind them afterwards.
Moreover, when the monsters appeared under the tiankeng, Mo Cheng was the first to react, and his thunder was powerful and accurate. There were many mages in Fairhaven, which made it even more obvious how powerful Mo Cheng's thunder was.
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 .
However, Mo Cheng thought that the rules of noble banquets were too many and complicated, and he did not know the etiquette of noble communication, so he threw aside all the invitations to visits and invitations to banquets and did not reply at all.
Before he knew the factions and strengths of the various nobles in Fairhaven, he would just wait and see.
You need to be cautious when interacting with people. This is true in a foreign land as well as in this world.
Noble banquets also serve to expand one's social circle. Basically, attending a noble banquet is more or less an expression of one's own position.
It's not to say that I will completely stand on either side, but a shift in stance is inevitable.
" Baron Seranis wishes to discuss a business matter with you, Your Excellency."
Talk about business?
Mo Cheng immediately thought about what he had that he could trade with others, whether it was the Glimmer Ointment, the Endurance Potion, or...
Is it your own strength?
Just hearing that they wanted to discuss business, Mo Cheng didn't rush to refuse. He didn't want to take sides so quickly by not attending the banquet. As for business, anyone can do it, with a clear price tag, and there is no resentment if it fails.
Of course, if the other party has resentment, Mo Cheng has many ways to clear it up.
"What business do you want to discuss?"
Seeing that Mo Cheng did not refuse, the butler bowed slightly and said, "Baron Serannis would like to discuss this issue with you alone."
"No problem, now?"
"If your Excellency has the time, Baron Seranis is awaiting a response."
…
When Baron Serannis appeared, Mo Cheng thought he was looking at a ball of fire.
The flamboyant red hair and the red and black skirt combination are very impactful. Even without any communication, just based on the first impression, Mo Cheng felt that the Baroness Serannis in front of him was not someone who could be easily fooled.
"Nice to meet you, hero who saved Fairhaven. I'm Helena Seranis. I hope my invitation doesn't offend you."
The female baroness, wearing a gorgeous snow silk gauze dress and sparkling gemstone jewelry, lifted the hem of her gauze skirt lightly, smiled and knelt to salute Mo Cheng. Although the origin of this etiquette is unknown, one can sense something from this behavior.
Mo Cheng had dealt with nobles in the [Foreign Land] before, and knew that if a noble saluted you, it generally meant that you had a higher status in the exchange between the two parties. Of course, there was another possibility, that was that you had something to ask of someone, and the thing you were asking for was very troublesome.
"I'm not a hero, and the so-called saving of Fairhaven was all thanks to the good cooperation of the Law Enforcement Corps, the Knights, and many more people."
"Humility is a beautiful virtue, but too much humility is a form of pride."
The female baroness covered her sexy red lips with her slender hands and laughed crisply, "But with your strength, it seems that you don't need to consider the feelings of others."
Mo Cheng looked at the sun outside the window, wondering if he should get straight to the point. He knew that some nobles had the habit of talking for nearly half an hour before getting down to business, introducing the family origins, family crests, and even family history such as which great figures had come from the family and which events had played a huge role.
To be honest, Mo Cheng is not interested in this kind of thing at all.
He had experienced this situation several times when he was in [Foreign Land]. The half-hour long CG that could not be skipped was enough to become his nightmare.
Helena seemed to have seen through Mo Cheng's thoughts, so she stated her purpose very directly, "This time I invited you to ask you about the Glimmer Ointment."
"Do you have any idea to expand the production line?"
