Chapter 1296 Good Wife
It was already evening when we left Swift Mansion.
After sending Anna home, I felt that no one was around, so I headed back to the New Heroic Guild.
Arriving in the basement, Boss Lane was writing and drawing.
"Busy?" I asked.
Boss Ren said ‘hmm’ and continued to write and draw.
Walking closer, he lowered his head and took a closer look, and found that it was a map with many circles marked on it.
"What's this?"
After a long time, there was no response, and I found that the boss of Rennes was painting carefully and completely ignored me.
Feeling bored, I went to pour some wine.
As soon as I took a sip, Boss Ren's absent-minded voice came from behind me: "Map."
Nonsense, I also know it’s a map!
I wanted to yell, but I felt it was inappropriate. What he said was absolutely right. This was indeed a map.
So, I was speechless.
After a while, he put down his pen, took a long breath and said, "Oh, Xiaoyi is here."
Damn it, you just realized I’m here?
What about your answer just now?
Don't tell me that's an automatic reply!
I looked helpless, and the corners of my mouth twitched, not knowing what to say to him.
Boss Ren unfolded the map he drew and said, "Come here, take a look at this, the map I just drew."
I walked up, took a few glances, and asked, "Is this the best tourist attraction sign in Balan City?"
"No," Boss Ren said, "These are distribution maps of stores related to lending organizations."
"Did you torture the two people who followed me?"
"No," Boss Ren said, "I just recorded the people who attended the party and their itinerary for the day."
"Oh, that's it!" My eyes shone and I couldn't help but say, "Sometimes I feel that you are really quite powerful. There are so many people and so many complicated routes, but you can actually record them one by one."
"I am not the only one who recorded it," Boss Ren said: "Since I am in charge of the intelligence organization, I naturally need a lot of informants."
"Awesome" I gave a thumbs up and praised.
Afterwards, I looked at the map a few times and asked, "Is this all there is?"
Boss Rennes shook his head: "This is just a part of that organization. There should be several other parts. We haven't investigated it yet."
"Do you need any help?" I asked.
"I will say it when needed," Boss Rennes said.
The next morning, jewelry store, secret room.
The fat boss had a complicated expression and sat across from me without saying a word.
I looked respectful and said nothing, sitting opposite him.
Just like that, after a few minutes of confrontation.
"Where did you go yesterday?" He asked first.
"Brother, when are you referring to?" I asked.
"After the party," he said.
"I went to Lord Swift's mansion."
Without any secret, I told him yesterday’s itinerary.
Since he could ask me, he must have already known my itinerary. It was only because I was careless and didn't care if someone was following and monitoring my itinerary!
"What are you doing there?" the fat boss said, narrowing his eyes.
"I'm going to deliver something."
"What are you sending?" he asked again.
"Jewelry, brother, didn't you see when you came that a few of the most expensive jewelry were missing from the counter?" I asked.
The fat boss was startled and asked again: "Why are you giving jewelry to Mr. Swift?"
"Of course it's to make money, brother," I said, "those jewelry were ordered by Lord Swift's wife, but she didn't seem to have the habit of carrying money with her, so I gave it to her. Hey, just say Get up, Mr. Swift is really stingy, he only paid us for the jewelry, but didn’t give us travel expenses.”
The fat boss narrowed his eyes again and said, "It turns out you were sending jewelry, but why did I hear people say that you were invited into the mansion by Mr. Swift?"
"This is pure nonsense, brother!" I yelled, "How am I qualified to let Mrs. Swift invite her into the mansion? It's because of Mrs. Swift. She wants me and Anna to help choose appropriate clothes. Okay. Paired with those expensive jewelry, it is said that he will attend a dinner party or some kind of party soon."
"Is this really true?" He said in a threatening tone: "Don't lie to me!"
"How could I lie to you, brother?" I said in a trembling voice, "I still rely on your old man's protection to live here!"
The fat boss stared at me for a while, then softened his tone and said: "It seems that I wrongly blamed you, brother, but don't blame me. Brother, I hate those who deceive me the most in my life. To be honest, I hate you." , those who have deceived me are all deceived by me.”
As he spoke, he raised his palms horizontally and made a 'cut' gesture on his neck, and then said: "Do you understand, brother?"
"I understand, I understand." I nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.
"I understand." The fat boss patted me on the shoulder and said, "I've always been very optimistic about you, brother. If you ever go to Mr. Swift's mansion to deliver jewelry next time, remember to call me, you know. have no idea?"
"I know, I know."
He nodded again and again, making the fat boss very satisfied.
After another round of wine and meat, he sent him away. Before leaving, he looked at Anna with obscene eyes and said some dirty words that were not pleasant to the ears. Finally, he laughed and left.
After sending the fat boss away, I returned to the office and called Anna.
"I thought you would give him a slap," I said.
"I've heard this a lot, so I'm used to it," Anna said calmly.
However, it was obvious that she was still a little unhappy.
"You and Mrs. Swift seemed to get along well yesterday," I said.
"Everything depends on the majesty of the store manager," she complimented.
"Relying on me is only part of it. It can be seen that she likes you very much. This is your ability and the reason why I want to introduce you to her."
As I said that, I stood up, walked to the window, stared out of the window, and said slowly: "Although Swift is just an ordinary nobleman, after all, he has his own place in Balan City, and he has a very discerning eye." Well, people like this will always be useful, so I want you to have a good relationship with Mrs. Swift as much as possible."
"I don't understand," Anna said, "Since you said Lord Swift is useful to you, why don't you just establish a good relationship with him directly, but instead ask me to establish a good relationship with his wife?"
"Don't you see that although Mrs. Swift is not beautiful, she is deeply loved by her husband. Moreover, the reason why the entire Swift mansion is kept in order and the relationship between master and servant is so harmonious is all because of that. Inseparable from Mrs. Swift.”
"You mean, Lord Swift, he is a strict wife?" Anna asked doubtfully.
"No, I just said that Mrs. Swift is a rare good wife, and at the same time, she is also the person Swift trusts most."
