"Okay... De La Serre, can you let me handle this matter? I can open this luxurious casino without spending a penny. I guarantee that it will be more luxurious than you expect."
Seeing Xiaoyanzi's confident look, the businessman Manide didn't believe it. He asked Xiaoyanzi:
"Well, ma'am, please be responsible when you speak. This is not a joke. My estimates are usually correct."
"Manide, speak more gently. I trust her. Okay, Xiaoyanzi, it's a deal. How many days do you need?"
"Well... can you give me 7 days?" This was the time Xiaoyanzi had already calculated in her mind.
"I'll give you 15 days. If you can't get it done after 15 days, it will be time for collection. I will use the money collected in two weeks to open the casino."
Seeing that the businessman Manide wanted to say more, De La Serre made a prompt decision: "Okay, that's it for today. After breakfast, go and do your own things!"
"This... As you command, my master." Merchant Manid reluctantly took the pony back to his room.
Xiaoyanzi also began to officially work on this matter.
De Lassel had an inexplicable trust in her. On the one hand, it was because of Chuchu's recommendation, and on the other hand, it was because she was similar to his mother. Anyone would unconditionally believe in and support their mother.
But the businessman Manid, who was kept in the dark and had no idea of the specific situation, did not see the matter that way.
The Baron's behavior somewhat annoyed him. This was the first time that the Baron had denied his arrangement since the last grape business plan.
He couldn't think of an answer, so he chatted with Xiao Ma beside him: "Xiao Ma, what do you think this middle-aged woman is capable of? Our baron is fascinated by her!"
"Hmm... I don't know either, but Uncle Earl has never made a mistake in hiring people, right? My parents also trust his vision and judgment, and I think he won't make a mistake this time."
The little horse looked at the "old horse" in front of him with an innocent look.
However, the businessman Manid still had some hope and said to himself
"No, I'm going to warn this old witch and tell her to do this thing well. This is too important to us. Why leave it to a woman? The Baron is really..."
Between the lines of his monologue, it can be seen that the businessman Manide completely disapproves of Xiaoyanzi.
If an old woman over 40 can complete a sophisticated plan that would cost her 10,000 dinars without spending a penny, isn't that embarrassing
Besides, from the beginning to the end, the businessman Manid felt that she was just bragging, and in the end it was still up to us to clean up the mess. If she really had the ability to solve it, why didn't she jump out and explain the plan clearly just now!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his judgment and logic were valid. He angrily found Xiaoyanzi, who was packing up and had not yet left, and shouted at her:
"Hey! You old witch, I don't know how you win the sympathy and favoritism of our baron, but I want to tell you that you'd better complete the task he assigned to you conscientiously, otherwise I will kill you first and then report to you, and punish you severely!"
Xiaoyanzi was frightened by the sudden and nameless anger of the merchant Manide, but she did not escape like an ordinary weak woman. Instead, she resisted forcefully:
"Sir, please don't come here and act crazy if you have nothing to do. I have something to deal with, please move aside. Also, please speak with respect, or I won't let it go!"
"Crazy? You said I'm crazy? Hahaha! Then tell me what your plan is. I'm curious about how you can accomplish this without spending a penny!"
"I don't need to explain this to you clearly, and you have no right to interrogate me! Get out of my way now!" Xiaoyanzi is indeed a worldly-wise and experienced gangster. She is not a pushover and has a very bad temper.
"Okay, very good, just wait for me, I will keep a close eye on you for the next seven days! If you dare to be lazy, I will, I will..."
"What's wrong with you? Can you go and tell on the Baron? That's something a girl would do. Okay, I won't waste my words with you." Xiaoyanzi used her elbow to push Manide away and walked out of the lord's hall.
Little did he know that all of this was seen by the pony who was following him secretly.
After the merchant Manide returned to his room angrily, Xiao Ma came up to him and whispered:
"Uncle Manide, I think you are a little too radical. Maybe that little swallow lady really is..."
"You're on her side too? Then go and help her do things! Don't just stay here with me, go away!"
In fact, it was understandable that the businessman Manid was so angry and irritable, which was uncharacteristic of him.
After all, it was he who proposed the idea of opening a casino, but when it came to implementation, it had nothing to do with him, and the baron, who had originally trusted him, now ignored him.
Thinking about it, this baron is really partial to one person over another. I was obviously the one who built up the grape business and earned him the first pot of gold. Now...
He had a feeling that he was no longer a capable assistant, no longer his right-hand man. So he began to become emotionally unstable.
Of course, the straight man De La Serre had no idea about the mood changes of the businessman Manide, and he didn't notice it at all. He even felt that if Manide was really unhappy about this matter, then he was too narrow-minded.
But in this world, there is a kind of retribution called retribution in this life, and it comes as soon as it is expected.
On the same night that the merchant Manide roared at Xiaoyanzi, the lord's hall, which was heavily guarded and had only one entrance and exit, was easily sneaked into by several mysterious men in black.
These men in black were agile and quickly reached the room of the merchant Manid. Without saying a word, they started beating and kicking him hard, but they showed mercy and only injured his flesh, not his bones.
After the beating, they left secretly, leaving behind a message: "If you dare to disrespect our Xiaoyanzi again, next time it won't be as simple as just getting beaten up!"
This group of people were quite merciful in their attack, only hitting the merchant Manid on the body, leaving no scars on his face. So as long as he didn't say anything the next day, no one else would know about it.
Their nimble movements and skilled night-time movements were so impressive that even Russell didn't notice anything unusual and slept soundly as usual.
After learning this bloody lesson, the merchant Manid became much more well-behaved when he woke up the next day.
