Feika, Dajing resident.
Hope and Lai Gouer sat opposite each other, with many exquisite delicacies placed in front of them.
There is also a hand-cranked gramophone next to Lai Gouer.
Ever since Father Sorje caused a big incident in the Holy City.
Back in Fika, the letters between Lai Gouer and Hope never stopped.
Although Hope relies on the church for business, he clearly despises many of the church's actions.
He had helped Father Sorje in the Holy City. He had outstanding abilities and a deep understanding of the church, so he was naturally an excellent partner.
Lai Gouer will not give up this opportunity.
As a businessman, Hope naturally wanted to get the right to sell Dajing's goods.
Therefore, the relationship between the two has always been harmonious.
There is already a conflict of interest between the church and Dajing, and Lai Gouer has not forgotten the mission assigned by Fang Zhengyi.
A few days after returning to Feka, Hope was invited.
Only Hope could help him obtain the structural diagram of the Temple Mount.
"Brother Lai, I was reluctant to come when you invited me to come. Unexpectedly, being in Fika really opened my eyes." Hope sighed while cutting the steak.
Originally, Feka was quite far away from the Holy City, so he was really reluctant to come, but he couldn't resist Lai Gouer's repeated requests.
After thinking about it, I still have to give this face.
One is that he is a little curious about Father Solje's situation, and the other is that he is now doing business with Dajing and is making a lot of money.
If Lai Gou'er is angry, it won't be beautiful.
Of course, he did have something that he wanted to take the opportunity to talk about in person...
But as soon as he arrived in the main city of Feka, his eyes were opened!
The domestic situation in Fika is beyond imagination... Although the wealth is far less than that of the Holy City, judging from the performance of the residents, they are full of energy.
Moreover, the streets are clean and tidy, and there is nothing like the dreary state of ordinary cities.
The most important thing is the believers... The behavior of the believers is completely different from that of the believers in the Holy City. Many people in the church have a kind of heartfelt satisfaction reflected on their faces.
Lai Gouer smiled slightly: "This is all the work of Father Solje and Duke Alves."
"Since the last incident in the Holy City, the priest has decided to leave the church, regain the doctrine, and work alone. However, he still maintains the management of the church on the surface."
"But the church has learned about the situation and can no longer hold it in any longer. Before I returned home, rumors spread that Father Sorje had apostatized and he was assassinated twice."
Hope frowned: "This is just a method used by the church. It's a miracle that they can let the priest go until now! If the outside world hadn't promoted the priest as a priest blessed by the Holy Father, I'm afraid he would have died long ago."
"By the way, Brother Lai, why did you insist on inviting me here this time? Is it because there have been changes in our business?"
Lai Gouer waved his hand gently: "Brother Hope, I treat you as a friend."
"Of course I have to meet this friend once in a while. It's nothing, I just came to chat with you, there's no need to be too serious."
Hope raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lai Gouer playfully, and clicked his tongue.
"Just chat, I have something curious that I've been wanting to ask you..."
"Tell me everything you know."
Hope leaned forward slightly and whispered: "I have never seen a woman from Dajing. A woman from Dajing... Is that... that big?"
"Is it big? Which one?" Lai Gou'er said confused.
"That's it, how can you not understand? Tsk, it's just a big deal!"
"Uh... the throw is not as big as the one here."
Hope leaned back in his chair and curled his lips: "It's boring, so I won't ask anymore."
"Can't you talk about something else besides women?" Lai Gouer said helplessly.
Hope is a carefree person, with vicious eyes, and his interest in women seems to be different from ordinary people.
It is unimaginable that he is still so happy to do it even though he is already worth a lot of money.
"Haha, you can talk about whatever you want to talk about."
Lai Gouer said: "Actually, I have always been curious. You are backed by the upper echelons of the church and your business is so big. How do you maintain this relationship in daily life? In addition to giving money, do you have any unique skills? Please teach me. I."
"Hey!" Hope cheered up, "Don't tell me, you really asked the right person. I have special bribery skills."
As he spoke, Hope poked the steak on the dinner plate with a knife and said, "It's not complicated at all. Look at the veal steak we eat. It's just fried in oil and sprinkled with a little salt. Rarely delicious.”
"It can be seen that these high-end ingredients can often achieve excellent results with the simplest cooking methods. This is also the way to make relationships."
"This high-end social network often only communicates in the most primitive way."
"Oh?" Lai Gouer put an elbow on the table and listened quietly.
"From what you're saying, it's just a gift for a beautiful woman. Isn't that unusual?"
The corner of Hope's mouth quirked: "Is it enough to give away beautiful women? The upper echelons of the church have never seen any beauties, from teenagers to thirty-year-old virgins, people are tired of playing with them!"
"So, I just want to come up with something new. I don't give it to ordinary women, I give it to my wife!"
"Fuck! You're a bit cruel!" Lai Gou'er was shocked and re-evaluated Hope.
The impression of this guy was refreshed in his mind.
The bottom line seems a bit low!
Hope snorted: "Otherwise, you think I have so many women, why would I go out with a group of women to show off and parade through the streets? These are my resources for bribery!"
"I am doing this to let everyone in the Holy City know that these women are my true love!"
"How do you think the sanctimonious church leaders in the temple would feel if they knew that the woman on the bed was the beloved of the famous businessman Hope? This is the excitement!"
"If I want to find someone to do something again, do you think I can have trouble? At worst, just give me some more money, and all the problems will be settled!"
Lai Gouer hesitated and said: "Then... where can you show off your face?"
Hope laughed, with a bit of bitterness in his smile: "Face? Outsiders see me as glamorous, but the higher-ups see me as a joke!"
"Hey...but I don't care. I understood when I was in my twenties that this world is so cruel."
"I've thought about it well. I can play well in the church without falling into the ranks of the common people. I only have one way of thinking."
"What's the mentality?"
“Survival of the fittest, by whatever means necessary.”
