Chapter 59 Hired Already?
Thanks to Crazy Tourist for the tip.
Early in the morning, a figure staggered towards the castle. This person was none other than Old Muka, who had not slept all night. Old Muka's eyes were like pandas, his face was haggard, and his clothes had not been changed.
When he walked to the gate of the castle, Old Muka shouted loudly: "Lord, are you there?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded inside: "Old Muka, come in."
Old Muka hurried in, but saw Hemira sitting on a seat, her face was also very haggard. Old Muka hurried over and carefully observed Hemira's whole body: "Miss, are you okay? That, that lord." Old Muka said cautiously.
Hemira shook her head: "No, I didn't see the lord yesterday. I was alone all night."
Hearing this, Old Muka felt relieved, but at the same time he felt funny. His lady took the initiative to come to the door, but he didn't expect that the lord was not here.
"Then Miss, let's go quickly. It will be bad if we wait for him to come back." Old Muka said anxiously.
Hemira shook her head and broke free from Old Muka's hand: "Don't forget what we are here for. We have been waiting for a whole night. I will not go back." Hemira looked determined, and Old Muka had no choice but to stand by.
Just when Old Muka was at a loss, a voice from outside came in. As soon as he entered the door, wasn't that the new lord Chi Nan? Next to him was an old man and a lame man, who were the two people Chi Nan brought back.
"Uh, there are guests. Sorry to keep you waiting." Chi Nan said in a daze.
Someone came before dawn. It was really... Suddenly, Chi Nan saw the bright and beautiful Hemira in front of him. Even Chi Nan, who had been influenced by Sophia, couldn't help but look at her a few more times and was moved by the beauty of Hemira. I don't know why, but Chi Nan always felt that this beautiful woman in front of him seemed to have seen it somewhere.
Hemira stood up quickly and bowed respectfully: "Hemira greets you, sir, and I would like to thank you for saving my life."
Hemira? So this is the name, Chi Nan suddenly remembered, isn't this the person he saved yesterday? At that time, the person looked like a gray sparrow, but now he looks like a noble swan.
Her temperament is noble and elegant, and her aura cannot be compared with that of Princess Sophia, but Hemira's temperament gives people a more intimate feeling, not so high and mighty.
"Sir, we just came here, please forgive us for disturbing you." Hemira tried her best to show her most beautiful side. If it was a normal noble in this world, he would definitely know what she was hinting at.
But Chi Nan is a loser in his bones. When he sees a beautiful woman, he just appreciates her, and at most he is a flowery talker. He can't see what Hemira is hinting at all, and he thinks this behavior is normal.
If Chi Nan knew that he missed the opportunity for a romantic encounter, he would probably regret it to death. One Leg and the Bald Old Man looked at each other and had already retreated to the door, ready to leave the castle at any time.
Chi Nan still said blankly: "Ah, please sit down, please sit down, I'm really sorry that I don't have anything to treat you. By the way, what do you want to see me for?"
Hemi's face turned red. Could such a thing be said directly? But the old Muka next to him had bright eyes and said quickly: "My lord, our young lady is the heir of the Bailan family and is knowledgeable. If you want to develop the territory, you must need all kinds of talents. Our young lady wants to be employed by you."
Hemi glared at the old Muka, who quickly closed his mouth, but still looked at Chi Nan with hope.
Now, the atmosphere was completely destroyed. One Leg and the Bald Old Man shook their heads and returned to Chi Nan again.
Seeing Chi Nan's confused look, the bald old man hurriedly said: "Sir, the Bailan family is a business family. It used to be one of the top ten families in Remas, and there was no noble support behind it. It is really not easy to achieve this step."
Hemira and Lao Muka both smiled. However, the bald old man continued: "It's just that the main base of the Bailan family is in the main city of Remas. This time the main city was attacked by the wild orcs. There shouldn't be many people who can run out. I don't know how many people are left in the Bailan family."
Hearing this, Hemira said bitterly: "There are only two of us left in the Bailan family. I think the Bailan family will soon cease to exist." Hemira looked at Chi Nan with hope.
Chi Nan lowered his head and thought, and it seemed that he was really thinking about hiring Hemira.
Suddenly, Chi Nan raised his head and said, "The Bailan family can still thrive without the support of the nobles. They must be very capable. I won't ask about their business ability. I just want to know if you can manage the territory." There is no way, Chi Nan doesn't understand this aspect.
He doesn't want to be a bastard who knows nothing and only knows how to bully the territory. Therefore, a good territory governor is needed, and it is very urgent.
Hemi and Lao Muka were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and felt very incredible. Didn't Chi Nan notice how charming his lady's appearance was, or was there something wrong with this lord himself.
However, when Chi Nan saw Hemira before, the look in his eyes told them that there was absolutely nothing wrong with Chi Nan's orientation. Could it be that this person was really an upright and good person? Are there such nobles? Just thinking about Chi Nan's identity, perhaps he was the first half-elf noble. Thinking about the character of half-elves, this might be normal.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. No one was willing to do this without having to sell themselves out.
"We have never taken over the management of the territory before, but we also know a little about it. In fact, it is very simple to manage the territory. After all, everything in the entire territory is your wealth."
"It's just that if you want to manage the territory well, it's still very complicated. I believe I can do it." The opportunity that Hemira had been looking forward to was actually right in front of her, and it seemed to be realized soon.
Chi Nan nodded: "Then I'll trouble you. From now on, you will manage the territory temporarily. You only need to listen to my orders. If you don't perform well, I will change someone at that time."
Chi Nan was excited. He had found such a beautiful secretary. Chi Nan had begun to imagine the story between the boss and the secretary. If he knew that he had missed the opportunity to make a fait accompli, I wonder if he would still be so happy.
