The pretty girl's voice was cold.
Surrounded by his servants, Curry Edgeworth is certain to achieve his goal.
Wayne had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Wait, I want to confirm, what do you mean by 'sell or not'?"
Store manager Heywood lamented and explained: "Miss Songli wants to buy out the technology of growing crops out of season from our store, but this is our store's undisclosed secret and the foundation of our business. It's really..."
He looked embarrassed.
"I heard that you want to build your own into the largest and most stylish dessert shop in the capital?" Geli raised his legs and said casually.
"You wouldn't be able to get to that point without the support of the Edgeworth family."
It was not a suggestion or a threat, but simply stating an obvious fact.
Heywood's expression changed when he heard this.
On the other hand, Wayne was wondering if Song Li just happened to coincide with what he planned to do.
"...Ahem." He cleared his throat deliberately so that others on the field would notice his presence.
"Without the support of the Edgeworth family, it wouldn't be a very important matter."
After that, he smiled at the Heywood store manager and said, "In addition to Edgeworth, isn't there our Winche family?"
Ge Li clenched her fists tightly.
"Are you really going to go against me?" Her voice was a little colder.
"This is not called right, this is called fair competition~" Wayne's face remained as usual.
If he hadn't happened to bump into him, he actually wouldn't have cared whether Song Li had achieved his goal. But now that he was in front of so many outsiders, Wayne could not let the Edgeworth family become even more powerful.
"Okay, very good." Geli was inspired by him and even sat up straight.
"I would like to hear how many chips your family is willing to offer."
As for the opinion of the owner of this dessert shop...that insignificant thing has been ignored by her.
Wayne looked at the people around the room and found that no one seemed to want to tell him about Songli's previous quotation, so he paid special attention.
"This is a business secret, and of course it can only be discussed in a sufficiently private setting." He said confidently. "I will make another appointment with Mr. Heywood to have a talk. I am here just for invitation."
"Mr. Heywood, are you free?" Wayne turned around and asked.
The other party had invited him like this, so Heywood certainly couldn't refuse without giving face.
But he didn't have the guts to just ignore the representatives sent by the Edgeworth family. As a result, he could only stand awkwardly between Wayne and Song Li, looking back and forth in a dilemma.
"Small shop...Small shop just wants to do business well. The two nobles have huge families behind them, so why do they have to embarrass me?"
Haywood didn't expect this to happen at all.
He and his family originally thought that with the help of this egg-laying chicken, they would be able to rise to the ranks of the royal capital's celebrities. Unexpectedly, before the stall was set up and the chicken had no time to lay more eggs, the old hen was targeted by the predators in the pond.
He felt inexplicably bitter in his heart.
"I really can't decide which company to sell the secret technique to right now... How about we talk about it later?"
Heywood knew clearly that what these two families wanted to do was something he couldn't resist. Let them discuss it among themselves and maybe avoid offending the other party.
Wayne looked at Song Li thoughtfully, "It's not impossible -"
"no!"
Song Li frowned and dismissed the proposal.
"Since there are people who are disrupting the situation, I'll give you a little more time to get in touch with them. Our family is not so rich." As she said this, she stood up and straightened her clothes.
"But... I hope your store will think carefully about what I just said to avoid making irreparable mistakes."
After the words fell, Ge Li strode past Wayne and left without any shame.
As soon as she moved, the Edgeworth family's entourage immediately moved in response, and the office was mostly empty in an instant.
The breeze blew by, and he could vaguely smell the unique fragrance of her body. Wayne couldn't help but grind his teeth.
Do you really not want to be alone with me?
…
However, Songli's hope that the Heywood store manager would come to his senses was destined to be unrealized.
Inviting Heywood to the Duke of Winche's mansion, Wayne painstakingly did a series of ideological work, and finally came up with his trump card - implying that even if he was unwilling to sell, he already knew the most crucial trick. , replicas are already being prepared.
As a result, Heywood, who had been prevaricating and unwilling to give an accurate answer, finally recognized the reality and signed all the conditions provided by the Winche family on the spot.
The Wincher family will receive complete technical processes and labor support, while Heywood will receive a broader market and profit sharing.
“A pleasure to work with.”
Putting away the signed cooperation agreement in his hand, Wayne extended his hand to Heywood.
"Master Wayne, you really don't leave any gaps!"
Heywood sighed and wiped his palms on his clothes again and again before daring to shake them cautiously.
"This is just to make our next contact easier." He said lightly. "Starfish Dessert Shop will soon be the most famous shop in the capital, bar none."
Wayne never fights an unprepared battle. If he wants to fight, he must succeed.
The store manager Heywood couldn't help showing a hint of joy when he heard this.
But not long after he was happy, he became hesitant to speak and said: "By the way, the Edgeworth family..."
With his small body, he certainly couldn't afford to offend the giant crocodile in Edgeworth. Heywood had no choice but to pray that another ferocious crocodile, which was also huge, could protect him.
"Don't worry, I will make arrangements here." Wayne said nonchalantly, "Even if I want to take revenge, I probably won't be able to take revenge on you."
The Edgeworth family and the Wincher family have had a long-standing feud, and this is not the least of them.
After comforting him for a few words, Wayne sent a carriage and horse to take Heywood back home.
After standing alone at the entrance of the courtyard for a while, he returned to Chris with the newly signed agreement.
"Oh, that's not bad~"
Chrissy, who had an unpleasant incident a few days ago, seems to have recovered her emotions. At least on the surface, she doesn't seem to be unhappy at all.
She just glanced at the agreement briefly and put it aside casually.
"The action efficiency is quite fast... Actually, I didn't expect you to buy it. After all, everyone likes to enjoy the benefits exclusively."
Otherwise, there is no need to prepare secretly and do the experiment at home.
"Seeing that the shed in our backyard had been erected, the Heywood store manager obviously lost his composure in panic."
This matter was not difficult for Wayne.
Rather, the real test for him was how to comfort Kareira-san who might be angry afterwards.
