Provence Manor
On the second floor, in the luxurious study.

The three people from the Greenman family sat on the sofa. Sam Greenman, with a shaved beard, looked much younger, but he just sat there pretending to be calm.

The young man Evan Greenman was fidgeting, looking anxious.

Only the young woman, Mira Greenman, was relatively calm.

They were all served tea and snacks, and only Mrs. Mira drank the tea and ate the snacks.

When Luo Yi entered, the three of them stood up immediately. He didn't pay much attention to it and casually waved his hand, asking them to sit down.

He sat opposite the three of them, rubbing his hands between his brows to relieve his fatigue.

Even for him, this banquet was exhausting.

It's not physical, but psychological. When communicating with this group of old foxes, every time you open your mouth and every word you say, you have to think over and over again.

He actually doesn't like this kind of occasion, at least not in this life.

However, there are some things that cannot be done without doing anything!
There was a moment of silence in the air until Luo Yi felt better. He then put down his arm, looked up at the three people, and said, "I'm sorry. You can see that there are too many things to do today. I'm sorry for being slow!"

The young man Evan Greenman hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay. We have never attended such a high-level banquet, so we should thank you for inviting us."

Luo Yi nodded, but then slowly shook his head. He said, "The banquet can allow you to meet a lot of people, but making those people remember you is a real skill!"

"Young people, it's better not to participate!"

Mira Greenman suddenly said, "Mr. Roy, you seem younger than Evan!"

Luo Yi raised his head, glanced at the young woman, and said as a matter of course: “So, I almost never attended the banquet.

This is the first time I’ve hosted it! ”

Just one sentence left Mira speechless. She didn't suspect that Luo Yi had deceived her. There was really no need to do so.

However, Luo Yi did not have much energy to exchange pleasantries with them, and said directly: "I called you here today, and you should be able to guess why. I have set my eyes on the Greenman Factory and want to buy it."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and Maruna handed him a document.

Roy took it, threw it in front of them, and said, “This is our assessment of the Greenman factory, with a total value of five thousand gold tyres.

Each of you will get more than 1,600 gold tyres, which is definitely a windfall for you."

The oldest one, Sam Greenman, picked up the document, opened it, and scanned it. The hand holding the document sank into it and was even deformed from holding it too tightly.

But people are always greedy. When he raised his head, he said, "Mr. Luo Yi, I admit that the price you offer is very tempting.
However, according to our inquiries, a small magic energy pool alone is worth five thousand gold tyres.

plus three universal power machines, workshops, and various other machinery.

So, isn't it too cheap for you to only give 5,000?"

Luo Yi laughed and shook his head: "You are talking about the price of a brand new magic energy pool, the starting price, and this is a second-hand one.

The magic energy pool also has a service life. The one at the Greenman factory has been used for a long time, so a discount is inevitable.

This is true for the universal power machine and the factory building. Perhaps the only thing that has not depreciated is the factory land.”

After a pause, Luo Yi continued, "Of course, you can also go out and ask around to see if there are other people who need this factory. If the price you can negotiate is higher than mine, then just ignore what I said."

"But what if we run it ourselves? After all, the factory was operating well and doing good business before this."

Sam still refused to give up, and Roy almost laughed out loud: "You are so old, why are you still so childish?"

"Do you think business is easy?"

"You all came to my party today and met so many people. Didn't you notice that I've been working so hard for so long, and it's only now that I've managed to make my business a success?"

“If I remember correctly, the Greenman factory produces rails for tracks, and there is more than one company in Oakland that produces rails.

And the Caroline Magic Energy Factory, do you think that after Neely's death, the factory's business wouldn't be snatched away?"

"You can try, but you have to be prepared to lose all the wealth inherited from Neely Greenman. Then, perhaps, I will spend less."

At this point, Luo Yi was reluctant to say more. He was too tired after a long day and wanted to have a good rest.

But just as he was about to say goodbye, the young man Evan Greenman suddenly said, "I agree!"

"what?"

The one who spoke was Maruna. He was the first to communicate with the three and naturally knew that the young man was the most timid.

But I didn't expect that he would be the first to agree!
The young man Evan Greenman was the most decisive at this time. He said firmly: "I agree to sell the Greenman Factory at this price, of course, for the part that belongs to me.

However, I have an additional request."

Luo Yi became interested and asked, "What do you want?"

"I need you to arrange for someone to take me back safely. I don't want to die on the road."

Luo Yi really looked up to the young man this time. He asked, "Is that all?"

"That's all! I trust you won't embezzle."

Luo Yi smiled and said, "You are a smart man. I agree to your request. I will arrange a team for you to escort you back to your hometown safely.

At the same time, I will help you conceal the amount of wealth in your hands. As for the future, it depends on you." "Thank you, thank you very much!"

Luo Yi turned his head slightly, looked at the young woman Mira Greenman, and asked, "What about you? What do you think?"

Mira raised her head slightly, her manner showing some elegance: "I can only ask for one thousand gold tyres."

"but?"

"I hope to have your protection!"

Luo Yi's smile faded and he asked, "What trouble did you get into outside?"

“I have an unhappy family. My parents are dead and my husband is an alcoholic who likes to beat his wife.

Fortunately, we don't have children.

I am about to inherit a large fortune, but my husband will never let it go.

He will definitely come after me, but I believe that will be nothing to someone like you!"

Luo Yi shook his head slightly: "For me, it is indeed nothing, but for you who inherited the estate, it is also nothing!"

"You can just hire a mercenary to beat your husband to a pulp, and the problem will be solved.

That way, it will definitely cost no more than one ginteel!"

"To be precise, someone would do that for two silver tyres, but I need more!"

Mira raised her head slightly, and her sapphire eyes met Luo Yi's. Luo Yi seemed to be able to see the endless ambition burning in them.

"Mr. Luo Yi, I am not willing to live an ordinary life. I want to control my own destiny, I want to change my future, I want to climb higher step by step, to the point where others look up to me.

So, I hope you can give me a chance!"

"To stand out and change one's fate, what a wonderful wish, nine and a half out of ten people think so.

Madam Mira, you are more greedy than I thought!"

Luo Yi's tone became serious, and his slightly narrowed eyes even carried a breathtaking majesty.

Evan and Sam felt that Loy was so powerful at this moment that they could not look directly at him. They could not help but lower their heads and tremble.

Mira, though afraid, still tried to raise her head. She said, “I am proficient in three languages, I have read hundreds of books, I can do accounts, and I am familiar with the laws of the Habsburg Empire.

I knew the importance of meditation, so I hired someone to teach me for a month. Then, I spent a year getting started, and another two years accumulating magic power.
Until now, I don't know any magic and have never used a magic pistol.

However, I should be considered an incompetent magic apprentice."

"What I need is an opportunity, a platform, and I hope Mr. Roy can help me change my destiny and class."

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment. He saw ambition and determination in Mira's eyes. Many people say that it is wrong to be too ambitious.
But in fact, ambition is the driving force for a person to move forward.

After a slight pause, he asked again: "Are you telling the truth?"

Mira was breathing heavily, her chest heaving violently, and although she was wrapped tightly in clothes, everyone suddenly discovered that she was actually worthy of the description "mountains and green hills".

After a long while, she asked, "Which one are you talking about?"

"Everything you said above, including that you are a magic apprentice."

Mira didn't reply, but ripples suddenly appeared around her, like a swinging ring, brushing across everyone's face.

That was a superficial release of magic power, a very crude method, and it had no lethality at all.

However, it illustrates two issues. First, Mira does have magic power, and second, her magic power is not weak.

At this moment, Luo Yi made the decision: "From today on, you are my employee."

"Your task at this stage is to follow Lilia Leitninger and help her deal with all the trivial matters."

"In addition, I will help you get an audit certificate at the Philante School of Magic. You can use the certificate to study any course you are interested in."

"If one day you find the direction to move forward, tell me and I will hire a special teacher for you."

At this moment, Mira stood up in an instant, her eyes were red and she was a little excited. She tried for a long time before saying, "Mr. Luo Yi, please give me more advice in the future."

"I'll give you a chance, but I need your loyalty!"

"If you want to leave one day, you can tell me and I will let you go.

But I don’t want anything unpleasant to happen.”

"Yes!"

At this point, two people had reached an agreement. Roy turned his head again and looked at Sam Greenman, and everyone looked at him.

"Now, tell me your choice?"

Sam wanted to continue to argue, but when he met the gazes of the crowd, all the courage he had mustered with great difficulty was gone.

"I, I can't even sell it!"

"You're finally smart for once!"

　I miss home, everyone has to give me a reason!
