"The story of Master Chen and the little girl. One summer, Master Chen saw a little girl eating ice cream on the roadside. The weather was very hot, and Master Chen also wanted to eat ice cream, but he was unwilling to spend money, so he Tell the little girl, uncle, can you do a magic trick? The little girl was very happy at first and innocently handed the ice cream to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen turned his face and stuffed the little girl's leftover half of the ice cream into his mouth. . Dang dang, the ice cream is gone! He told the little girl. At first, the little girl was very happy, but she soon realized that her ice cream was gone. She cried and asked Mr. Chen to return the ice cream to her. , but Mr. Chen told her that he put the ice cream in the convenience store freezer..."
"Captain Chen has a few things. Commander Chen is a very frugal man. He always tells his subordinates that it doesn't matter if the clothes are old, as long as the buttocks are not exposed. He also demonstrates to his subordinates that even if the clothes are worn but the buttocks are torn It doesn’t matter if Dong’s combat uniform is on the street. Commander Chen is really a gentleman of noble character! Commander Chen also asked his soldiers to pick up dropped bullet casings during the war. Firstly, it is for the sake of environmental protection. , don’t make the place dirty, and secondly, the bullet casings can be taken for recycling. He also announced that as long as the bullet casings are picked up, the soldiers can get 20% of the scrap income! It must be said that Commander Chen is really a considerate subordinate. What a great leader!"
"The romantic past of the Supreme Commander. Whenever he wakes up from a dirty and run-down hotel, the Supreme Commander will say affectionately to the woman around him, I love you! These poor little wanderers have never heard such an affectionate confession. , so most of them will be embarrassed to accept the money, and even if it's no good, they will give him a discount..."
"Today we interviewed an old subordinate of Captain Chen. During the interview, this gentleman shed tears several times. He told us that it was a past that he could not bear to look back on. The men worked as coolies, the women stayed with them, and the men In addition to doing hard work, sometimes I also have to stay in bed..."
"After research, the Blue City Sex Demon and the Army-breaking Arrow are the same person..."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
A silver bell-like laughter sounded from the throne in the Thousand Candle Hall.
Although the voice was nice, Chen Xing was not in the mood to appreciate it at all. He had a bitter look on his face, as if he had just been run over by a truck full of cargo.
"Hahaha, these editors are so talented!"
The girl on the throne was laughing so hard.
"I almost died laughing, hahaha!"
Her eyes shone with excitement, like a cat smelling fish, "Is there any more? Come and show it to me, quickly!"
Chen Xing looked depressed. He originally came to complain, but he was laughed at.
Next to the throne, the tall and glamorous beauty covered her mouth lightly, smiling unbearably, and her eyes almost turned into crescents.
When Chen Xing saw Lacey smiling, he felt really hateful in his heart. It was most likely the fault of this bitch princess.
On the other side of the throne, Ye Yang Bailiu turned away, his shoulders shaking slightly.
Laugh, laugh your ass off! My own man was belittled and slandered, but he could still laugh.
"Princess, I'm here to ask for help." Chen Xing was very dissatisfied and reminded, "Your supreme commander of the expeditionary force is facing a difficult situation."
Aaliyah's face straightened and she regained her monarch's calmness.
"I'm sorry, my dear Commander-in-Chief, I didn't mean it, because..." Halfway through, she couldn't hold it in anymore, "Hahaha, because it's so funny, hahaha!"
"It's written like it's true," Aaliyah concluded.
"Maybe it's true~" Lacey was finishing her blows at the side.
"Well, it is possible~" Ye Yang Bailiu nodded in agreement.
Chen Xing's face turned dark, Lacey just let it go, and Ye Yang Bailiu also came to join in. What does it mean?
Is he easy to bully if he is an honest person?
Chen Xing stared at Ye Yang Bailiu. The latter caught his gaze and looked away guiltily, but his shoulders were still shaking.
Anyway, let’s get rid of one first.
Chen Xing shifted his gaze back to Aaliyah and said seriously, "Princess, if this continues, the supreme commander of your expeditionary force may have to roll up and leave."
"Okay, okay, I understand your grievance~" Aaliyah said in a casual tone, as if she was comforting a child, "I will kill a few chief editors later, so no one will dare to report randomly."
Worthy of being a king, that’s an understatement.
Lacey's face changed slightly and she hurriedly tried to dissuade her, "Your Highness, you must not!"
"Baron Chen Xing went through nine deaths and paid a huge price to restore His Highness's reputation. If Your Highness commits murder again, Baron Chen Xing's efforts will be in vain."
Lacey's concerned look seemed to be protecting Chen Xing's interests, which was extremely hypocritical. Chen Xing's teeth itched at the sight, and he wanted to pounce on him and bite him. But this is the Hall of Thousand Candles, the meeting place of the Northern Alliance. It is not a place for acting recklessly. You must speak based on reason.
"Master Chen, what's your opinion?" Aaliyah asked.
"I..." Chen Xing struggled. Although he really wanted to object to Lacey's words, if Aaliya took action, the result would only be more tarnished and make his reputation worse.
It is true that no one dares to discuss it, but no one dares to join him either.
Also, he is now tied to Aaliyah. Aaliyah's damaged reputation will only make his situation more difficult.
"I think what the eldest princess said makes sense." Chen Xing said helplessly.
"That's it..." Aaliyah thought for a while, "Then I won't kill anyone."
She tapped her fingers on the armrest of the throne, thought for a while, and said, "Let's do this. I will make an announcement tomorrow and they should shut up."
The next day, Aaliyah spoke through Lacey. If anyone has any objections to the position of supreme commander of the expeditionary force, they can raise it to her face to face. As long as the other party can survive for more than an hour under her full pursuit like Chen Xing, the position of supreme commander will be his, and anyone is welcome to take the assessment at any time.
As soon as these words were released, the tabloids and magazines all stopped.
But the situation has not changed. The bad effects have been caused and it will take a long time for people to forget them.
Chen Xing realized that setting up an expeditionary force would not be easy and would be a protracted battle. He asked Xiao Yang to go back in the airship and pick up the three mothers and daughters of Claire's family, Mayor Anbixi, Mayor Burt, Mrs. Kelly, Black Snake and others.
These people have certain knowledge and status, allowing them to do public relations for the expeditionary force in Lizard City.
In addition, he also asked Xiao Yang to take over all the servants at home. He wants to buy a mansion in Monitor City, otherwise he won't even be able to find a place to hold a cocktail party.
After some understanding, Chen Xing faced a very realistic problem.
Question - Can't afford it.
Lizard City is known as the Third Imperial City, and housing prices are already high. What he wants to buy is a large mansion that can accommodate hundreds of people, and the moving rails cost over ten million gold coins.
He only has more than one million, which is not even enough to stuff between his teeth. After thinking about it, he approached Hua Beidou and proposed that the Sisters of Steel purchase a mansion and rent it to him. The annual rent was two hundred thousand gold coins.
Hua Beidou happened to want to buy some properties in Dragon City, so he agreed to Chen Xing's request.
A few days later, Chen Xing and Xiang Caidi were led by a housing agent to a manor house at the foot of the hill on the side of the Red Castle.
"Mr. Chen, Miss Xiang, this is the mansion of the Philip family. It was built in DR 2390 and has a history of more than 200 years."
The agent took the two people to visit the mansion and introduced the situation.
"The Philip family was not prosperous and eventually fell into decline. A cousin inherited the property and is now putting it up for sale."
"The mansion has two front and back gardens, a standard swimming pool, four halls, five master bedrooms, thirty-seven guest rooms, and nineteen servant quarters..."
After visiting, I found that the mansion was well maintained and only needed some repairs and some new furniture and appliances to move in. The price was also right, so Chen Xing made the decision to buy it. Originally, this matter was decided by Xiang Caidi, but she couldn't even stand firm in front of Chen Xing, so how could she dare to give her opinion? She did whatever the supreme commander told her to do, and she didn't dare to disobey him in the slightest.
"The price of the mansion is 11.5 million gold coins, the tax is 5%, 575,000 gold coins, and the handling fee is 0.5%..."
Xiang Caidi signed the contract on behalf of Beiqiao Group and paid the house tax and other miscellaneous expenses. Chen Xing then signed a lease agreement with Beiqiao Group, and the right to live in the house was obtained.
Old K led the servants to move in first, clean the house and buy furniture. After a while, the mansion was completed and Chen Xing took people to move in.
Facing the complex political environment, Chen Xing quickly demonstrated the professional public relations level of a first-generation business manager.
Now it is like a new product. When it enters the market, it will inevitably face the encirclement and suppression of old products, and there are only two outcomes of competition: lose and exit or gain a firm foothold.
He first arranged for Mayor Bert and Mayor Anbisi to contact the mayor of Edge Town in the northern wilderness. The same background would give them more common topics.
Then he asked the three daughters of Claire's family and Mrs. Kelly to actively participate in the dance and integrate into the local aristocratic circle. Whether it is the earth or the red earth world, there is no shortage of socialites in the upper circles.
In addition, Lin Shiyuan was arranged to hold poetry talks regularly to attract the attention of noble widows. Precious information is sometimes hidden in the short chats and flirting between parents.
Next, he will visit Ye Yang Qingyan, and also visit Margulies at the Noble Academy of Dragon City.
Ye Yang Qingyan Needless to say, the logistics officer of the Princess Guards must have a lot of resources. Margulies had been studying at the Noble Academy for some time, and she must have known many children of powerful people.
Again, use your acquaintances first, and win over as many people as you can.
Take it one step at a time, there is always a solution. He holds the position of supreme commander of the expeditionary force, and has the support of the Northern Princess. If he can't survive like this, it means he doesn't have the ability, so he can just go back to Orchid Town to farm.
