There was an incongruous scene in the solemn conference room of Lawrence Manor. The low table next to the window and next to the wall was filled with all kinds of snacks. Yola was enthusiastically recommending a series of snacks to Bai Zhe. Exquisite snacks, but it's a pity that Bai Zhe doesn't like sweets very much, but because of Yula's enthusiasm, she brought all the snacks to his mouth...
Youla pushed her hair behind her ears and recalled her childhood. She smiled and said to Bai Zhe, "You know? When I was a child, I always made mistakes. I was always scolded by my father and locked in a small room in the backyard... When I cry, the head maid secretly brings me snacks behind everyone's back...".
Bai Zhe listened to Youla talking about her own childhood. It was obvious that she already trusted him quite a bit and had reached the level of opening up her heart. He was glad that Mebius said she was tired and wanted to take a nap, otherwise she would have started to be venomous by this time.
When Youla brought a piece of snack made by Heiqiao to Bai Zhe's mouth again, Bai Zhe showed a helpless smile and opened his mouth to eat again.
Youla looked at the expression on Bai Zhe's face next to her, which was full of helplessness and doting. This made her feel a burst of joy in her heart. Then she stretched out and rested her head on his shoulder, completely unable to tell what he was doing. The head of the house is imposing and serious.
Not long ago, news came from the investigation team outside Jingfu Port that two monsters that had never been seen before suddenly attacked the Gunnhild family's army. The four brigades of their army suffered varying degrees of damage. Although the number of deaths was not high, the number of injured was quite large. In any case, this was good news for the Lawrence family.
Youla slowly opened her eyes and slowly moved her gaze to Bai Zhe's face. Judging from his previous reaction, the monster attack on Gunnhild's army was probably done by Bai Zhe. Although Youla didn't know what method he used to induce the actions of these two powerful monsters, it was obvious that Bai Zhe was helping himself. This alone made Youla, who had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, very happy.
Boom, boom, boom.
As the heavy door of the conference room was knocked, the maid's voice also reminded Bai Zhe and Youla inside the room.
"My lord, Governor Nanke has arrived."
There was a trace of reluctance in Yora's eyes, and then she stood up and stretched out her hands to adjust her hair and clothes. The neat and simple personal knight uniform she wore made her not only look elegant but also maintain her seriousness.
"come in."
As the head of the family, Youla, responded, the door to the conference room was pushed open.
I saw Governor Nanke slowly walking in with a cane in one hand, pushing the corners of his eyes on the bridge of his nose with a smile on his lips, and looked at Bai Zhe and Youla sitting together on the sofa. His eyes moved to Bai Zhe's shoulders. The clothes here had very obvious wrinkles, which were obviously pressed down by something. The table was filled with all kinds of exquisite snacks...
It seems that the news received is true. It seems that the head of the family has successfully captured Bai Zhe. In this way, the Lawrence family can be considered to have a guarantee.
Since many senior members of the Lawrence family have already fled Jingfu Port with their money, only Youla and Nanke can make decisions in the Lawrence family. At this moment, there were only three of them in the huge conference room, which seemed unusually empty. At Bai Zhe's suggestion, they could just chat on the sofa, and the other two naturally had no objections to this.
Bai Zhe stretched out his hand to cover the side of his neck, and then moved around, making a crisp bone sound. His face looked slightly tired, and he looked at Governor Nanke sitting across from him and slowly said, "Governor Nanke should have received the news about the monster attack on Gunnhild's army."
Governor Nanke naturally received the news about this matter, and knew about it earlier than Yula who was in the manor, and then nodded to express that he already knew.
"Very well, this matter is an important turning point for us, related to the future of the Lawrence family."
As the expression on Bai Zhe's face gradually became serious and his tone became more serious, Yula and Governor Nanke couldn't help but straighten their bodies. They knew that this man never joked about such things, and this meeting really had to decide. The future of the Lawrence family.
"Yora, you should know this. The Lawrence family is in an embarrassing situation in Mondstadt.
. Ha...you should be more or less aware of this, so I won't go into too much detail. "
"Then let's get straight to the point. I will take this opportunity to bring Jingfu Port and the Lawrence family into the management of Mondstadt."
The scene suddenly became silent. Bai Zhe, who had an indifferent expression, crossed his arms and looked at the two people who had no reaction, feeling a little surprised by this. He reached out and picked up the teacup on the table, brought it to his mouth and took a sip. Then he asked Youla and Governor Nanke, "Do you have any questions about this decision?"
Mr. Youla half-closed his eyes and seemed to be relaxed. A wry smile appeared on his face and he pushed his hair behind his ears and said slowly: "It doesn't matter. Governor Nanke and I are very clear that the Lawrence family will have no future if this continues. Jing Port Port will eventually be recaptured by Mondstadt one day in the future..."
This surprised Bai Zhe. Unexpectedly, Youla and Governor Nanke had already been mentally prepared.
Looking back, thinking about it carefully, maybe they had already thought everything through earlier, when they chose to live and die with the Lawrence family. Even if their resistance is meaningless, they still choose the identity of the Lawrence family. The elegance, beauty, and the name of Lawrence are gradually withering like a rose...
Looking at the two people accepting their fate, Bai Zhe put down the tea cup and reminded: "I told you...this time is an important turning point for the Lawrence family."
"I arranged for the monsters to attack Gunnhild's army. Although the number of casualties caused to them was only about 20% at most, it was enough for my plan."
"The thing about the monsters will be tomorrow afternoon at most. When the Knights of the West Wind and others receive the news, they will naturally be involved. Their medical supplies are absolutely not enough. What we need to do is..."
The meeting to decide the fate of the Lawrence family came to an end after three hours of discussion.
Governor Nanke sighed: "I didn't expect that Your Excellency Bai Zhe has such a wide range of contacts. The Lancadia Chamber of Commerce, the largest timber merchants' association in Mondstadt, the Laikenfende Chamber of Commerce, the largest liquor merchants' association in Mondstadt, and those who control the faith of Mondstadt. West Wind Church. Unexpectedly, these forces have very good personal relations with Mr. Bai Zhe... The Lawrence family doesn’t know how to repay this debt.”
Click! The door of the conference room was opened without permission, and only one person walked in slowly.
