Chapter 1804: Summer in Fool Village (XVIII)

Talia's peripheral vision caught Merkel's frowning brows, and dissatisfaction was written on the butler's face. Talia knew what he was dissatisfied with.

This was a rather luxurious manor, and every decoration was written with the name of the upper class, and she just jumped from the roof and landed in the garden. Any butler of the manor had the right to pick up a shotgun and shoot such an uninvited guest.

But Schiller opened the door to welcome her, and even served her wine and food. He also chose the common polite topics in the upper class, talking about a person known to both parties.

In this environment, all of Schiller's behavior was normal, even tolerant and patient, but all of Talia's behavior seemed to be crazy, and it was like the kind of madness caused by the anger of persecution paranoia and unwarranted speculation about others and malicious associations.

No matter how loud Talia's intuition alarmed, no matter how dangerous her killer instinct told her, no matter how many ways Talia imagined Schiller would kill her, in the real world, Schiller did nothing, didn't he?

This makes Talia's various extreme emotions very inappropriate, extremely indecent, and even completely rude and worthy of blame.

Talia tried her best to suppress her anger, but despite this, she still couldn't put on a smile and apologize to Schiller.

Schiller obviously ignored her, why should she apologize?

Talia sat there with a cold face, ignoring the red wine stains on the back of her hands and the table, picked up the wine glass and took two sips of cold red wine, which made her brain a little clearer.

"Are you going to respond to my father's solicitation?" Talia could hear how stiff her tone was, which sounded like a warning with a hidden personal threat.

Merkel had completely stood in from the door, posing a defensive posture, as if to guard against this crazy woman going crazy further, but Talia gradually felt less weird, and she even understood Merkel's thinking.

He is just a housekeeper who knows nothing, Talia thought. Hearing the guest speaking to her master in such a tone, it is inevitable to guess that her next step is a blatant threat. If things develop to this point, Merkel must ask the rude guest to leave in order to keep her job.

"It's too early to call this a recruitment, Miss." Schiller sat back in his original position with an elegant posture. He gently put the handkerchief back into his pocket and said in a calm tone: "We just exchanged a little about our views on the world. It is very helpful for me to talk to your father. He is a knowledgeable man. If possible, I will visit him."

"You can't go!" Talia immediately raised her tone.

Schiller seemed to be shocked again, and then he looked at Talia with that puzzled look.

Talia felt a little proud in her heart. She finally broke this calm man. Talia thought that Schiller must be wondering why she objected.

"Don't worry, miss." Schiller said, "If you mind, I will try my best to avoid mentioning you in the process of communicating with your father."

Schiller chose to comfort... How could he choose to comfort? !

Talia was furious again, which proved that Schiller chose to give up thinking about her thinking logic from the beginning and just wanted to comfort her emotions.

This situation usually only occurs when adults choose to comfort the crying of children who are too young and deal with the barking of pet cats and dogs.

Because facing children who have no independent thinking ability and cats and dogs that cannot communicate at all, it is meaningless to think about the thinking logic behind their crying.

Just like people don't think about why dogs must go out to play, and what is the happiness of playing Frisbee for dogs, they only need to know the behavioral logic of dogs, that is, dogs will be happy when they go out to play, and then decide whether to take them out to play when they bark.

When they decide not to take the dog out to play, they will not wonder why the dog can't understand that the weather is bad today so they can't go out to play. They will only choose to comfort the dog's emotions and let them calm down as soon as possible.

They know very well that mumbling to the dog, "It's bad today so you can't go out to play" and other words like this will not have any practical effect, just to express an attitude to appease the troublesome pet.

But if it is to a client at work or a partner in life, they will do their best to explain to the other party how bad the weather is that they can't go out.

The reason why the sentence "Calm down first" makes the other party more angry is because it makes the person who hears this sentence feel a kind of humiliation brought by being ignored, as if he has become the dog, thinking that the most fundamental reason why the other party does not want to reason with him is that he has never regarded him as an equal intelligent creature. In this case, appeasing emotions will only backfire.

The correct approach is naturally to apply it in the opposite way, that is, to pay attention to the other party's thinking logic and ask him "what do you think" and "why do you think so".

Of course, there are also people who speak incoherently and cannot express their ideas clearly. At this time, you just need to be a repeater and keep repeating "Can you say it again? I don't understand" until the other person is tired and runs away.

As for the accusations such as "Why are you so stupid" and "I have explained it so clearly, you still don't understand it, are you stupid?", you just need to accept them all. Once most of these people think that you can't understand what people say, you will never be a victim of their unrestrained output of opinions again.

It is that sentence that as long as you take turns to adhere to the two views of "You are crazy" and "I am crazy", interpersonal communication will no longer be difficult.

And now, Schiller only wants to appease Talia's emotions, and his behavior of not caring about her thinking logic completely angered Talia, because this confirms Talia's previous assumption that Schiller completely ignored her and may only treat her as a crying baby.

In fact, Talia is very good at dealing with various dangerous confrontations because she has rich experience, but she has almost never dealt with situations where others completely ignore her.

From a realistic perspective, Talia is indeed not someone who is easily ignored. She is very beautiful and aggressive. Cowardly men imagine her, and courageous men pursue her.

Even if Bruce only regards her as a simple enemy, he has to carefully arrange a banquet, make a toxin that Talia will not detect, and even call on his accomplices to make full preparations.

Precisely because Talia is difficult to deal with in all aspects, she has never experienced the situation where the other party treats her as a helpless baby.

Talia simply felt a kind of absurdity and ridiculousness. Why did Schiller dare to treat her like this? Does he think that she has no weaknesses and does not have to worry about others becoming her target?

Talia stood up following the dangerous thoughts in her heart. She rushed to Merkel's back at a very fast speed and grabbed his neck.

"Stand there and don't move." Talia said coldly.

And Schiller's face showed the kind of confusion and doubt that made Talia angry, as if he did nothing and Talia suddenly went crazy.

Talia realized that this was the truth. From the angry expression on the face of the housekeeper she held hostage, it seemed that in the eyes of others, she was making trouble for no reason.

Schiller also stood up from the sofa. He said in a helpless manner that made Talia crazy: "This is a bit beyond the rules, Miss. Even if my words are offensive, you should not implicate my housekeeper. He is just an ordinary person. Please let him go, okay?"

Talia was about to say something, but Schiller interrupted her and said, "Calm down, Miss. I know you may just be impulsive. I apologize again for my offense."

Talia felt that the muscles in her throat were constantly twitching. The unbearable sourness and the pressure that kept coming up made her not know what to say. Why was Schiller still trying to soothe her emotions? ! Why didn't he pay attention to the reason why she did this? !

Talia felt that she might have been standing there thinking for a long time, because when she came back to her senses, Schiller's face finally showed a trace of cold anger.

Is he going to do it? Talia's fingers tightened a little more, feeling nervous and excited. She didn't think she could defeat this man, but a fight was the best way to solve the current confusing situation.

But Schiller didn't do it. He just walked to the phone station next to him with a little anger, dialed the number and looked at Talia and said, "I'm afraid I have to tell your father about your impolite behavior, Miss Talia, which will make me reconsider the necessity of cooperating with your father..."

Talia froze in place. She looked down at Merkel's neck in her hand, and then looked at Schiller's dialing action, almost screaming, "Why don't you attack me?! I kidnapped your housekeeper!!!"

Schiller just shook his head and sighed helplessly. After the call was connected, he said to the other side as if he was suppressing his anger: "Mr. Lei Xiaogu, I'm sorry to contact you again so soon. There are some things about your daughter that I have to..."

Schiller paused when he said this, and Talia could clearly hear that Lei Xiaogu interrupted her.

"Oh, yes, I remember you mentioned something about cooperation... No, I'm afraid we can't talk about this topic for the time being, because your daughter did something very rude in my manor, and she is even holding my housekeeper hostage..."

While talking, Schiller glanced at Talia with his peripheral vision, and soon he said to Talia with the phone receiver: "Miss Talia, your father asked you to answer the phone."

"Tell him I won't answer it!"

Schiller's eyes widened slightly as if he was shocked again. Talia couldn't stand it. She didn't want to see Schiller's innocent attitude as if he had done nothing and was just dealing with a madman unilaterally, so she threw Merkel aside and rushed forward to take the phone receiver.

Talia couldn't help but point out the hostile relationship between the Assassin's League and Schiller, and then attacked him blatantly.

But Lei Xiaogu on the other end of the phone said in a low voice: "Go and apologize to Professor Rodriguez."

Talia opened her eyes wide and stood beside the phone like an ice sculpture, then she couldn't help but roared: "What the hell are you doing? Aren't we..."

"Don't talk nonsense, you idiot! Professor Rodriguez is our future partner, and you foolishly held his butler hostage, now go and apologize to him!"

"No way!!!" Talia screamed.

"This is an order!" Lei Xiaogu's voice was emotionless. He said: "You know the consequences of disobeying orders, and we will talk about your reckless punishment when we come back."

At this time, Talia realized a cold reality-her dignity is nothing compared to the benefits that Schiller can bring to the Assassin's League.

Although Talia thought she had long been accustomed to the fact that nothing could be greater than Lei Xiaogu's ideals in his eyes, when the knife pierced her heart in an unprecedented cold way, she still felt a pain and chill that invaded her whole body.

She hung up the phone with a somewhat slow movement and stood in front of the phone for a long time without saying a word.

Suddenly, Talia turned around and saw Schiller, who had sent Merkel out of the room, standing in the middle of the room again, silent like a mountain.

Talia pulled up the corners of her mouth a little stiffly, trying to keep her last dignity with a smile. She said indifferently: "You know he doesn't care..."

She could hear the trembling in her tone, like a vase shattered by a dart.

Talia imagined that Schiller must be very proud at this time, because his attitude towards her was completely correct. Lei Xiaogu's indifferent attitude proved that even her biological father would abandon her in the face of interests, so who would have to pay attention to her?

"Thank you for letting my housekeeper go, Miss."

Schiller leaned over to get the air conditioner remote control on the table, raised his head and used the button to adjust the air conditioner temperature, then put one hand on the back of the sofa and looked at Talia, and said:

"I see you are shivering, maybe the air conditioner temperature is too low, do you still feel cold now?"

Talia just folded her shoulders, hugged her arms and lowered her head, shook her head silently, and Schiller walked towards his desk.

Talia looked up at his back and thought of the metaphor that made her angry before.

At this time, she tasted another meaning from it-compared to the vicious dog who only needed to bite the enemy's owner, at least the man in front of her would comfort her, right?

In real life, encounter similar situations: run!!! Run without looking back!!!
