"That shouldn't be the case." Cyril Sack frowned deeply after listening to the words of the servant Akko, "We brought the chef here from Xiaya ourselves. Since Chef Sarin is gone and there is no other party to cause trouble, it should be even more Only if it can make the taste I want.”
"But sir, we brought the chef, but we didn't bring the ingredients." Akko smiled bitterly, "The ingredients are all provided by Sarin. No matter how hard our chefs try, they can't turn the meat into vegetables, but I will give you all the hard work. Make the taste lighter.”
"This is so bland, so bland that I want to vomit." Cyril Sack picked up a piece of greasy bird meat, looked at it, threw it back on the plate, and said angrily. After thinking for a while, he said: "By the way, can't we go and collect the ingredients ourselves? If Salin doesn't give us the ingredients we want, we can buy them ourselves."
"Our chefs have already thought about it, sir." Ako said, "Since yesterday, we have been sending people to Atlanta to find reliable food suppliers, but there are many in Atlanta and Xiaya. Differently, large-scale purchases seem to require some procedures, and we are trying to solve them."
"Stupid." Cyril Sack commented, "Why send our own people completely? Wouldn't it be over if we just let the Sarin servants at the reception desk take care of the matter? They are more familiar with the business procedures in Atlanta. It will save a lot of time.”
Akko smiled bitterly again, his face almost turning into a bitter melon: "Sir, you have forgotten again. Last night you reprimanded the servant at the reception desk for not doing his job properly. Not long after Sarin removed the chef, he also The servants were removed, for the same reason. So now we basically have the entire reception by ourselves, and we pretty much have to do everything ourselves.”
"This..." Cyril Sack was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Sarin could do such a wonderful job. He was completely in no mood to eat and left the table to walk again. "So, Sarin is throwing us people away." Left to fend for yourself at the reception?”
"That's not true," Ako said. "If we have any requests, they will still handle it, but... in terms of efficiency, it's hard to say. For example, you said that the garden was not up to standard before, but they have sent someone here today. It has been dealt with, but it seems that it will take at least half a month to resolve this issue alone. The other issues raised will not be dealt with until this issue is resolved."
After hearing this, Cyril Sack raised his gray eyebrows, walked quickly to the back window of the restaurant, pushed open the window, and looked at the garden behind the restaurant.
I saw an old man sent by Salin in the garden... who seemed to be older than him, tremblingly using a shovel to clean up the plants that had been planted in the garden. It seemed that he was going to clean up all the plants, expand the garden area, and plant new plants to meet his requirements.
There is nothing wrong with this improvement plan, but... the amount of work can only be done by an old man, and the half-month construction period is probably a death-strength work. If nothing happens, the old man will not be able to complete it even if he works for two or three months.
To be honest, seeing the old man in the garden panting and still working, Cyril Sack felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so... he quickly closed the window.
"boom!"
"call-"
After closing the window, Cyril Sack took a long breath, closed his eyelids, opened it after a few seconds, looked at the servant Akko and said: "It seems that Salin doesn't want us to stay here too comfortably, that's fine. , after all, this is not the purpose of our coming here, meeting Lord Richard is our purpose. You go to see the people in Shalin now and tell them that my time is limited and I will not stay in Shalin all the time, so in three days I’m going to meet their lord Richard, and I’ll leave immediately after meeting him.”
"Yes." The servant Akko nodded and walked out.
…
A little later.
In the top-floor office of Atlanta City Hall, Jasmine sat behind a three-meter-long wooden table and was reading a mountain of documents. The documents were divided into four large piles according to different types, and each pile was more than half a meter long. It's so tall that one looks a little desperate.
Jasmine pursed her lips tightly and quickly flipped through the documents, sometimes raising her eyebrows and sometimes frowning. Occasionally write instructions on a document with a pen, and occasionally take out a document and put it aside - this is a document that requires careful consideration before making a decision. It must be discussed and finalized by many people before it can be signed, otherwise it will be easy to Various problems arise during the implementation process - these are painful lessons learned in the past.
"Shashasha..."
The four large piles of documents on the table slowly became lower. After a while, Jasmine finished reading another document and gave instructions. She put the document on the table and stopped working a little tiredly. He rubbed his brows and moved his neck, and heard footsteps approaching outside the door.
This was followed by a knock on the door.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk, princess!"
As soon as she heard the voice, Jasmine knew who it was and said, "Come in."
"yes."
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened and Su stepped in.
Jasmine raised her eyes and looked at Su and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Princess, the honorary duke over at the reception desk seems a little anxious. He sent someone to tell us that we hope to see Lord Richard within three days because he will leave in three days." Su replied.
"Leaving in three days?" Jasmine snorted, not quite believing it. "This time I came to Shalin. The main purpose was not fulfilled, so I went back to Xia Ya in a hurry. Is it because I was rushing to attend my funeral? The new emperor of the alliance will be there by then. Host it in person, right? If he can really leave in three days, I will take everyone in Atlanta to see him off!"
"Princess, what do you mean..."
"What I mean is very simple, don't believe me, just keep waiting." Jasmine said, "The other party does seem to be a little anxious, but he shouldn't be anxious yet, so let him continue to wait. Why, he You said you have to meet in three days, you have to meet in three days. What kind of identity do you think it is? Not to mention that you have to meet Lord Richard in three days, you just have to meet me. I still have to think about it. I haven’t seen so many documents yet. Have you finished processing it?"
"Oh, I understand."
"As long as you understand, go ahead."
"yes."
…
Three days later.
Same Atlanta City Hall, same offices.
Jasmine was sitting at the same table reviewing documents. It seemed that after these days of hard work, instead of reducing the number of documents on the table, there was an extra pile.
After reading it, Jasmine couldn't help but sigh. Compared to these tedious tasks, to be honest, she would rather take risks, fight and explore the ruins. However, the latter obviously cannot allow her to regain the legitimacy of the Sika royal family, but the former has a chance of being realized, so she can only choose the former.
"Shashasha..."
Jasmine threw herself into her work.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk…”
Familiar knocks and shouts rang out.
"Princess."
"Come in." Jasmine said without raising her head.
"yes."
Su responded, pushed the door open and came in. He looked at Jasmine with a smile on his face and said, "Princess, you guessed it right. Those people at the reception desk really didn't leave. They said there was an unexpected incident and they changed the itinerary temporarily. Look. I almost believed them because of their sincerity. If nothing else, they are anxious to a certain extent and no longer ask to see Lord Richard directly. They only hope to meet with you in the next few days. "
"Meet me?" Jasmine lowered her head and curled her lips, "I'm not something they can see if they want to. From what I see, they are still far from being anxious to the extreme. If they really want to see me, just wait - wait. I’ll finish processing all the recent documents.”
"Well… "
"Go ahead."
"yes."
