Chapter 332
"Oh, yes, in that case, I would also like to thank you, President Louis. If it weren't for you, how could I have earned four million from this in vain?"
…
After Mohammed left in a swagger, Louis sat on the sofa, flushed with anger.
"Asshole!" he said, smashing the cup on the table to the ground.
He didn't expect that his behavior would shoot himself in the foot.
With the help of the Ali Chamber of Commerce, Chelinina's Antika branch will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties, but she will lose four million gold coins in vain.
That's four million gold coins! !
This is enough to buy land in several cities.
"President." Hearing the voice inside the room, Paul also walked in.
"Uncle Paul." Louis said this and looked at Paul. "You said, did I do something wrong?"
"..." Paul was silent for a while, and then sighed. "President, I can understand your mood, but now please cheer up. Now that we know the information, we must take action immediately."
"Also, we actually didn't lose much," Paul said. "Didn't the Duke of Napoli promise to increase cooperation yesterday? We can make more money in the Duke of Naples."
"Okay." Louis nodded and stood up. "I hope I'm right to stand in line like this."
It's not that Louis doesn't know the value of Orson, but compared to one Orson, the value of the entire Duchy of Naples is obviously higher.
Just like when Chelinina asked Lorenzo how to choose investments, the higher the net worth, the more
You will seek stability and choose investments that may not have that high a return rate but are relatively low-risk.
Of course, I don’t know how he would feel if he knew that Chelinina’s current status was closely related to Orson.
"In short, since Chelinina has betrayed the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, there is no need for her to continue to hold the position of branch president." Louis said this and ordered: "Paul, please draft a dismissal letter. Book, bring me Chelinina back from Antica."
"President..." Paul couldn't bear it, so he said, "Let's forget it, President."
"Since she is ready to leave me, let her try and see if the people over there listen to me, the president of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, or him." Louis said this and left the room directly.
Paul was left sighing.
"I'm just worried that Antica won't listen to you, President..." With that said, he shook his head and was still going to go to the office to draft a letter of resignation.
Louis' move almost ruined the relationship between the headquarters and the Antica branch.
But no matter what, he is only an employee of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce and has no right to interfere with Louis' behavior.
…
Duchy of Naples, City of Romulus.
In the Duke's Palace, Giovanni looked at Donnie who was standing obediently in front of him and was furious.
Since being taken away that day, Downey was interrogated by the Imperial Court. In the end, because Downey had no knowledge of the matter and with the help of Giovanni, Downey was acquitted.
Tyrell was in a worse situation, because he betrayed Downey, Giovanni was unwilling to take action at all, and his father was unwilling to save him for fear of offending Giovanni.
In addition, after rescuing him, Downey will be angry with him. Thinking about it this way, it seems that being locked up in prison can ensure his safety in life.
As a result, Tyrell was sentenced to ten years in prison in a high-security Imperial prison.
As for what will happen to him in ten years, no one knows.
"Tell me, what exactly happened." Giovanni looked at Donnie, and although he was very angry, he still spoke slowly.
After all, he used a lot of connections and money to get Downey out.
"Okay." Downey nodded cautiously, without the arrogance he showed in the academy.
Then, he organized what he knew into a timeline and told Giovanni everything.
"That's it..." Giovanni nodded after hearing this, and then fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he looked up at Donnie.
"After all, I asked you to deal with them in the academy. I can't blame you for falling into Orson's trap." Giovanni said calmly.
"Father, do you really not blame me?" Donnie was overjoyed when he saw that Giovanni didn't mean to blame him.
"Well, just think of it as a lesson to yourself." Giovanni said.
"By the way, father, there is one more thing I need to talk to you about." At this time, Downey thought of another thing.
"What's up?"
"It's about the daughter of the president of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, Chelinina Bonaventura."
"What happened to her?"
"Orson seems to be having an affair with her..."
"What did you say?" Giovanni heard this and slammed the table. "That guy Louis eats both sides?"
"No, no." When Danny heard this, he waved his hand. "President Louis is still a very good person. He has always stood by us. He also reprimanded Orson at the previous banquet, but Chelinina seemed to have been drunk by Orson and seemed to be convinced that he would not let go. ”
"You mean to let me help you?"
"Yeah." Danny nodded. "Father, I think you are the only one who can help me with this matter."
"You fart," Giovanni said, slamming the table. "Isn't it your own problem that you can't win a woman?!"
"Don't let me do everything!" Giovanni pointed to the door. "Go out and think about it carefully. I'll give you three days to come to me with your ideas. Otherwise, I won't care about you even if you marry a bitch."
"..."Donnie looked at his suddenly angry father and could only nod and leave the room.
...
A few days later, a fast horse came to Antica City and brought two letters to Chelinina of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.
One was Orson's reply to Chelinina, and the other was a letter of resignation from the headquarters of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.
"Hehe, it seems that my father is in a hurry, after all,
he cut off such a big piece of meat." Chelinina looked at the letter of resignation, then looked at Paul in front of her and smiled.
"Grandpa Paul, did you write this letter of resignation?"
"That's right." Paul nodded. "Miss, please understand the president's painstaking efforts. He is also for the benefit of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce. By forming an alliance with the Duke of Napoli, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce can move freely everywhere."
"Grandpa Paul, do you really think so?" Chelinina looked at Paul with a smile in her eyes. "If nothing happened to the Duke of Napoli, it would be fine, but once something happened, wouldn't we all be on this ship together?"
"Grandpa Paul, you and my grandfather started from scratch, and the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce was developed by you. You don't know the principle of keeping a low profile, right?"
"But, the six great dukes of the empire, except for the Duke of Antica, have not declined for hundreds of years. In other words, there is no more stable investment than them..." Paul lowered his head and said.
"But once there is a risk, we will go bankrupt." Chelinina said this and turned around. "I cannot accept the dismissal."
"Of course, I will hold a representative meeting in the branch. If the representatives from all over the country think that I am not doing a good job and want me to step down, I will of course step down."
"But if the result is not like this, and you still want to dismiss me, please forgive me for breaking off relations with the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce and setting up my own business."
"..." Paul stared at the back of Cherylina.
For some reason, he felt that he suddenly saw the shadow of the old president in her.
If the old president was still alive, he would never let his children be sacrificed in political marriage.
Because the old president never wanted to get involved in politics.
A few days later, representatives of the Antica branch of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce in various city chambers of commerce in the Dukedom of Antica came to Antica City.
This general representative meeting will decide whether Cherylina will stay or go.
At the meeting, Paul and Cherylina sat on both sides of the rostrum.
When the representatives saw Paul, they were all stunned.
They all knew that Paul was Louis's deputy and a veteran of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.
The presence of such a heavyweight figure here must mean that this meeting is extraordinary.
"Then, first of all, let me announce the reason for holding this meeting." Paul said this, looking at the people present.
"Because President Chelinina leaked commercial secrets to the rival of Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, Ali Chamber of Commerce, and caused a property loss of 4 million gold coins to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, the headquarters decided to remove President Chelinina from the position."
After Paul finished speaking, he did not say much, but sat down and waited for Chelinina to speak.
Hearing Paul's words, the representatives in the audience whispered.
They did not know the inheritance problem within the president's family, and did not know why Chelinina did this.
"Then, let me explain why I did this." Chelinina said this, looking at the audience. "You all have more or less noticed that in the past month, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce outside the Dukedom of Antica has cut off business dealings with us. This is an order from the headquarters, which is to suppress our Antica branch and make our business unable to continue."
"Ah?"
"No way..."
"Why did President Louis do this..."
The representatives below the stage heard what Cherylina said and expressed their incomprehension.
"Then, you should want to know the reason, why did President Louis do this." Cherylina said this, and her tone became serious. "That is because President Louis, in order to prevent me from inheriting the family's business, deliberately created obstacles in my business and wanted to force me to give up the competition on my own initiative."
As this sentence fell, the audience immediately exploded.
Chelinina paused before continuing, "Everyone, although I have not worked here for a long time, the development of the Chamber of Commerce during this period is obvious to all. You must have seen my ability. Who can lead the Chamber of Commerce to become better? You should also understand. Then, the question of my stay or departure will be decided by you."
As he said this, the audience began to vote.
During the period, Paul did not say a word to incite emotions, but just watched the representatives vote for Chelinina silently.
Then, the vote was over, and the representatives in the audience, without exception, all agreed that Chelinina should stay.
"Okay, then, the vote is over. Thank you for your trust in me." Chelinina said this, turning her head to look at Paul.
"Director Paul, you should have seen it too."
"Yeah." Paul nodded. "I will go back and tell the president about this matter. As for the dismissal, just pretend it never happened."
As he said this, he smiled at Chelinina.
"President Chelinina, I hope you can lead the Antica branch to a further step."
"I will." Chelinina nodded, and then said goodbye to Paul.
...
Saint Laurent City, slums.
Litt came to this alley with several of Virgil's men.
This was her first time to go on a mission by herself.
Virgil felt that he had taught almost everything he should have taught in the past few days, so he asked Litt to take his men on a mission.
This time, he was dealing with a gangster who had recently caused trouble in his tavern.
When he came to the alley, there were now more than a dozen tall and strong men standing inside. Litt looked at them and frowned.
The men did not look at Litt, but surrounded a person. Litt approached and saw that this figure was actually the elf lady he had seen in the hotel.
"Hehe, girl, hand over all the things you had on you, so that I can let you go. Otherwise, don't blame us for being cruel." The tall man in the lead smiled and approached her.
"Hey! You, you stay away from me! Is there anyone? Save me!" Miss Elf said this and shouted loudly.
Litt couldn't help it immediately. She rushed up and knocked the tall man to the ground with one punch.
Then she protected Miss Elf.
"You guys..." Litt looked at the gangster angrily.
Virgil said that the day before yesterday, they were drunk in the tavern and didn't pay. When the staff wanted to tell them about this, they were beaten by them. That's how they had a grudge.
In fact, Virgil knew that this gangster was sent by another big gang in Saint Laurent City to cause trouble, but he deliberately concealed this news from Litt.
"TMD." The man who was knocked down by Litt stood up and looked at Litt with anger in his eyes. "Didn't anyone tell you that there is a price to pay for being a hero to save a beautiful woman?"
As he said this, he called his men around him to rush over.
A few minutes later, Litt looked at the man wailing on the ground and rubbed his fists.
Then she called on her men to tie up all these people and take them to the tavern.
