Chapter 173 (1/2)
The 173th chapter “slave”
After bringing Cosette back to his residence, this big headed guy was still full of curiosity towards Du Wei However, before Cosette left the union, Deacon Clark clearly warned him to treat Du Wei as his real master from today onwards
“Just like your teacher” That was how Clark described it
Turns out Cosette had a teacher to begin with and his position inside the union is quite good as well The person is in fact the very saao
Fortunately Cosette’s status a his peers is of no importance, or else ould he be stationed outside as a supervisor for the wand shop? Also, Azrael has plenty ofone or two people like Cosette won’t raise any eyebrows at all
As of today onwards, Cossette can be considered officially switched into Du Wei’s banner
“What’s the uy was looking a little odd compared to before, so he kindly asked: “What’s on your mind?”
“No, no, it’s nothing much, teacher Du Wei” Cosette answered honestly in accordance with the union’s tradition Contrary to what he intended, Cosette’s respectful words actually made Du Wei frown in displeasure
“Cosette” Du Wei stopped in his step and looked at his abducted genius: “I don’t need you to call me teacher”
“But this is tradition……” Cosette whispered back in reply: “In the union, all ician whoiance to ‘teacher’”
“But I am not your teacher” Du Wei shakes his head: “You are notto teach you The reason I brought you back with erate s…” Fear filled Cosette’s face
Du Wei tapped the stiff guy on the shoulder before looking at this big headed genius With a sh, you will understand in the future What I value is your gift, so I hope you can helpdays, okay?”
Then Du Wei no longer cared about the expressions Cosette was er to the end of the street in front of them, he continued to speak: “look, my residence is just over there”
Further in front is Du Wei’s teed to the Crown Prince and was ruhness to hide his mistress Whether this rumor is true or not is of no importance now
Above all else, Du Wei was leaving the capital anyways
It rand like aby normal standards When Du Wei first uards had long left the place to its own de in the house is only the old housekeeper Marde and a couple of servants froo back to the Rowling Plains, so their only option was to temporarily stay with Du Wei at the time
In addition, there is also Vivian, Gargamel, and the heavenly beast QQ in the house
However, Gargamel and QQ’s existence is still a secret to the rest and only Du Wei is aware of their existence
Upon reaching the entrance, Du Wei was surprised to find Vivian sitting quietly at the doorway With her chin cupper against her hands, the girl was in a daze as she pathetically looked at the street corner Even when Du Wei cairl is still unaware of his presence
“Why are you here?” Du Wei laughed as he watched the dazed Vivian sitting on the footsteps
The truth is Du Wei was quite happy over Vivian’s willingness to coht Vivian back froirl had locked herself up inside a room and refused to come out
Every day he would go see her a few tirief Du Wei did try to tease her to get her talking, but the result would always end with the poor girl dripping in tears around the corner of her eyes Left with no other way, he can only leave her alone in the room to come to terms by herself As the pain dissipates day by day, the scar will eventually heal with time
Sure enough, Vivian is finally willing to cohted by this, Du Wei cairl on the head Squinting a smile, he then asked: “Hey! Are you in a trance? Do you not hear my words?”
Vivian lifted her eyes only to blink a couple of tiained her thoughts, she finally stood up only to find her knees sourly nus, Vivian then asked in a whispering voice: “You, you, pass the test?”
The little maiden still looked hurt and weak on the surface, but her voice showed a clear sign of concern for Du Wei
S, Du Wei’s voice also became softer: “Did you intentionally sit here just to wait for me?”
“I … … I orried about you” Vivian’s s her head to hide her eic assessment is very difficult I’m worried…”
Du Wei patted his chest heavily to show the e pinned to his shi+rt: “Rest assured You see? This is ician”
Vivian widened her eyes to stare at the badge However, before the girl can say a word, Du Wei was already pulling Vivian through the doorway As the talked a few steps, Du Wei suddenly turned around to face Cosette: “Why are freezing up? Come in!”
Marde was also quick to comehis faithful servant, Du Wei instructed old Marde to pick a good room for Cosette: “Let hih, whenever night rolls around, the place becohost house”
Marde nods in understanding Just when he was about to back away to carry out his orders, Marde suddenly recalled so: “Master, Miss Rolynn came around today She said there are some h business is good, but she made it clear there is a lack of staff If possible, she would like you to make an appearance at the shop From the way she sounded, it would seem she is not satisfied with the two craftsmen in the store… Also, there is the matter of the quadruplets you sent to help her It is quite obvious she is not happy with them”
Du Wei only nodded: “Marde, I understand… … H Do not call her Miss Rolynn anyht No ht Rolynn, remember that? This point is very important”
Rolynn does indeed have so problems at hand
Although her boss is on a roll without any signs of declining, and the fact that Du Wei left his entire business operation to her, there is still one major problem: she does not like her work
In essence, she prefers the job ofthe pirate fleet At least with the fleet out in sea, there will be adventure and exciteowns every day, she would still rather do that than spend her days handling the hypocritical nobles in the capital
At the eence, it wasn’t hard for Rolynn to see through Du Wei’s difficulty of findingthrough the ranks at an i Without enough people at hand, this weakness could become a fatal weakness in the future if not solved
As such, Rolynn is still willing to obey and dedicated herself tothe business for Du Wei
As a result of her loyalty, she was able to deh every day she was forced to be beside all those snobby nobles, but unlike before in her adventuring days, she did not have to sacrifice her sex appeal… Thanks to Du Wei’s ie on her, all Rolynn has to do now is maintain her cold appearance and the nobles would flock to her side like flies
Very soon, she found herself unable to cope with the ever increasing workload Though she knew Du Wei was going to the union today for his assessht was confident in her young lord…It’s a joke actually She is far too fas, so she wasn’t worried in the least Instead of asking about Du Wei’s test result this , she would rather stay in the shop and address some of the issues at hand
Business is very good currently In just a few days, the sales have netted 500,000 gold coins for Du Wei Deducting the expenses upfront, Du Wei’s net worth right now is already in the millions
Without any in, Du Wei can continue to directly ioods from the oods and a slightly lower price point, about half of the original shi+pht in by Rolynn was already sold
To solve this, she had already sent soe to the shi+ps parked at the Enke Port thisThe reason is to instruct the pirate crews to immediately head back into the north and import more supplies
After that, Du Wei finally arrived with little Vivian Since the littleto step out of the room, then he cannot let her be stuck at hoood way to calm the heart
Luckily, Vivian showed great interest in the goods Du Wei was selling In her view, the goods imported froic field
Leaving Vivian behind so that she can slowly pick out what she liked, Du Wei and Rolynn went into a room upstairs to discuss the matters at hand
Once inside, Rolynn started to explain thematters at hand
Firstly, there is a lack of manpower Since the business is orientated towards the noble and wealthy class, then weby A nobleo purchase some slaves from the market and have theossip wills naturally spread, or even worse, you ht even lose face
Secondly, there is also the probleoods we imported from the north are mostly raw materials that need to be processed We may have hired extra artisans, blacksravers to help with the issue, but it is still far froh
In order to turn a hly skilled hand to do it You can’t just randoether and call it a day Also, there is the problem of style The noble class is very particular about this, and it is very clear we are still insufficient in this department
There is also the precious h most have been ordered by the union, but there are still so one or two in order to recruit a e
Besides all this, there are the weapons too This subject is what’s giving Rolynn the biggest headache
At the moment, the current oods However, the two blackse Aside from the lack of staff, the two on scales while they were processing it Not only is the heat insufficient during their forging process, It was utterly shameful when I tested one of the blades When I knocked one of slender blades against the anvil to test its sturdiness, the blade actually broke apart!
The truth is the two blacksmiths has been very hard at work, but their talent is si In their time, they came in contact with numerous weapons, but never once in their life did they cos
All these points are just the icing on the cake What really upset Rolynn the most is in fact the quadruplets!
Once valued in thegifted to hiirls home, he immediately tossed them into Rolynn’s hand
Du Wei’s thinking is very simple He hopes to continue the developic tools in the future! Mages are never short on e nuladly line up to shower these people with gifts andof people in society is the best type of consumer
Not only are his goods froic ite rawfinished products! Sometime, the profits will double or even triple! Unfortunately for hi ordinary craftsmen’s can produce
On the Roland continent, there is a profession called “ic tools like wands, crystal balls, and in rare cases,isn’t very large, in fact, it’s miniscule Despite their small numbers, their occupation is rather unique and hard to come by
