Big Capitalist

Chapter 534 This is the typical poor guy!

In the bustling and lively elf capital, Alicia travels between the towering elf tree houses and office buildings every day.

She was wearing a simple yet elegant elf robe, with her long, smooth hair neatly tied behind her head. However, her delicate face could not hide her fatigue.

As an ordinary "elf white-collar worker", the burden of work is like an invisible mountain, pressing heavily on her shoulders.

Alicia works for a fairly large Chamber of Commerce, and in her eyes, her boss is a sarcastic, arrogant and disrespectful high elf.

However, in Merlin's eyes, this is definitely a great boss and colleague.

This boss always relies on his noble birth and status as the head of the chamber of commerce to "exploit" his employees at will, but he will pay them high overtime pay.

"Poor people" like Alicia became his main "care" objects. From morning to night every day, all kinds of trivial, complicated and high-intensity work tasks were thrown at her.

From organizing business documents (a little bit), to running around to negotiate cooperation details with clients (the client companies are located in the tree houses upstairs and downstairs), and even being responsible for the planning and arrangement of chamber of commerce activities (conducting), she is so busy that she is like a spinning top, often without even time to drink a sip of water (she thinks).

The pressure in life also made her feel a little breathless.

Although Alicia's parents are both public servants, her family is well-off, she owns a single-family villa, and has a nanny and housekeeper to take good care of her, the high hopes her parents have for her are like another shackle.

Merlin: “…?”

At night, Alicia dragged her exhausted body back to the stand-alone tree house located in the center of the business district.

This tree house is spacious and luxurious. The wooden structure exudes a faint fragrance. The interior is decorated with exquisite elven handicrafts. The moonlight shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows onto the smooth floor. It should be a warm and cozy picture, but at this moment, Alicia only feels lonely.

She collapsed weakly on the soft sofa, looking at the empty room, the grievance and fatigue in her heart surged like a tide.

Her meager salary left her with little after paying for the housekeeper and nanny, and the slight financial hardship made her even more anxious.

Alicia is emo again in her room late at night. With the moonlight, she gives people a kind of desolate beauty. She is "exploited" by her boss every day, living in a tree house in the center of an empty business district, and taking a "meager" salary that can't even pay for the housekeeper. This is really...

It's hard to feel sympathy for him! His fists are hardened! Merlin and other viewers thought so.

Fortunately, the two-day riding lessons a week became her temporary haven from the troubles of reality.

The riding class was held in a quiet and open meadow deep in the Elf Forest, surrounded by ancient towering trees. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming patches of golden light.

Alicia came here with great joy, and what was waiting for her was a majestic spirit deer.

This spiritual deer is covered in snow-white, its fur is as pure as the first snow in winter, sparkling with a faint silver light, and its antlers are long and sharp, like a carefully carved work of art.

Its eyes are deep and lively, revealing an innate spirituality.

When Alicia gently stroked its neck, the spirit deer lowered its head meekly and allowed her to be affectionate.

The moment she rode on the spirit deer, Alicia seemed to have merged with the elves in the forest. As the spirit deer rode briskly, the wind whistled past her ears, blowing away the haze in her heart. She enjoyed the freedom and happiness to the fullest, and all her worries were thrown behind her.

When Merlin learned that Alicia was taking a riding lesson, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and complained in astonishment, "Riding lesson? Riding a spirit deer, how many gold coins does this lesson cost? The key is, can you ride a spirit deer without a certain status?"

Among the elves, spirit deer have always been regarded as sacred and noble creatures. Only elves with distinguished status and respected position are qualified to control them. Ordinary elves find it extremely difficult to ride them, let alone get close to them.

In addition to riding lessons, there are also tea gatherings at the four major temples every week that Alicia looks forward to.

The four major temples of the elves - the sun, moon, stars and nature - are the most sacred and solemn places in the tribe. Those who can participate in the tea parties held in the temples are all members of the elves' upper class, and the threshold is extremely high.

After all, most of the people in the temple are high-blooded relatives. They exchange the latest magical research results, business secrets and social gossip here. It is the top feast of the elves' social circle.

Alicia, dressed in a gorgeous dress, walked into this gathering place filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

The elves around were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing dazzling jewelry, and their every move showed elegance and nobility.

She moved among the crowd, chatting quietly with old friends, sharing interesting stories in life, and tasting the fragrant tea specially made by the temple. The fragrance of tea permeated the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Here, she temporarily forgot the fatigue of work and the troubles of life, and immersed herself in this elegant and leisurely atmosphere.

Is this the life of the "poor girl" Alicia? Merlin saw that many viewers had left the theater out of anger, and all of them were nobles.

It is obvious that the lives of these nobles may be worse than that of Alicia.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. At a regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, the elf boss once again pointed the finger at Alicia.

He strode to Alicia with great momentum, his thick lips opening and closing as he roared, "Poor bastards like you were born to be exploited by me!"

When Alicia heard this, she was furious. Unwilling to be outdone, she raised her head, looked directly into her boss' eyes, and asked, "Why?"

The boss snorted coldly, with an extremely arrogant smile on his face, and shouted loudly: "Just because I am nobler than you! I am your boss! You have to work from 10 am to 5 pm every day, four days a week!"

Merlin "...philanthropist?"

Alicia was so angry that she was shaking all over. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms. She retorted angrily, "Why! I have to work longer hours than others! And I only have three days off!"

The boss sneered disapprovingly and said sarcastically: "Haha, what do you think? Who are you? It's your blessing to work under me!"

Merlin listened to this and silently complained in his heart: "He really doesn't have much status. He's a high elf, lives in a tree house in a business district, his parents are civil servants, he has a nanny and a housekeeper, he owns a villa, and he's a nun in the temple, so he's qualified to attend high-class parties... This boss must be blind."
