"Dad, aren't we here to buy clothes?"
On the carriage back to the church, Yunia tilted her head and kept looking back at the Morgan tailor shop in the back: "Why, Dad, you don't need to pay for things..."
Mawei was holding several paper bags in his hand, which contained small skirts he bought from a roadside clothing store. Custom-made clothes take time and it is impossible to get them on the same day, so he had to buy a few pieces for Yunia first.
"The amount I paid is something he can't refuse." Ma Wei replied: "Humans are very simple and complex creatures. Once we grasp their psychological appeal, we can successfully control them... I didn't want to Using this tactic, the church will be short of money and will have to find another way.”
"Dad is so awesome!"
Yunia kissed Ma Wei on the cheek: "This way we won't be short of money, right?"
"It's still missing."
Ma Wei said calmly: "Far water cannot cure nearby fire, and investment will take time to see returns. But fortunately, our funds can still support the church for half a year. By then, Mr. Morgan will have already become famous, and the problem of fund shortage will be solved." "
"Then dad, who are you looking for to promote Grandpa Morgan?"
"Of course...Gray Wolf Dino!"
....................................................
"Is this why you came to me?"
At 6 o'clock in the evening, in the luxurious and bright villa, Gray Wolf Dino was slumped on a large and soft leather sofa, wearing a lavender silk nightgown, holding a glass of vodka in his hand, crossing his legs, watching with interest. Looking at Ma Wei and his daughter sitting opposite:
"I thought you were here to practice for me... I didn't expect you were here to do business. It's really chilling."
"You said I came to you when I was in trouble."
Ma Wei drank the red tea and said calmly: "You are leaving anyway. If you don't shine, you may not have a chance."
"...Have you ever considered my feelings when you said this?"
"Do I need to think about it?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't think it's necessary."
"..."
After drinking down the strong wine in the glass, Gray Wolf Dino bared his teeth and muttered: "If someone else dared to talk to me like this, I would have kicked him out a long time ago!"
"Even if the person sitting here is a great noble or a relative of the emperor?"
"Damn it, I get so angry every time I talk to you!"
Gray Wolf Dino was so angry that he almost dropped the cup. The butler Li Silde, who was standing aside, looked at his nose and heart, pretending that he didn't hear anything and didn't understand anything.
"I can help you with this matter, but before that, I want to ask you something..."
Putting aside his joking tone, Gray Wolf Dino sat upright and said seriously: "Are you asking me for help as a friend, or are you negotiating business with me as a businessman?"
"The identity of a businessman."
"Okay, let's discuss business... I want half of the shares."
"no problem."
"Li Silde, go draft a contract."
"Yes, sir."
The housekeeper bowed slightly, stopped pretending to be dead, walked out of the room quickly, and went to draft the contract.
When there were only three of them left in the room, Gray Wolf Dino suddenly asked: "Why do you never ask me for help as a friend?"
"Didn't I borrow a bottle from you last night?"
"Can such a small thing be considered a request?"
"No matter how small it was, you helped me after all, not to mention that it was a big deal to me."
"But I always feel that there is an invisible barrier between us."
"That's your psychological problem, I don't think so."
"my question?"
Gray Wolf Dino leaned back, looked up at the gas chandelier on the ceiling, and said nothing for a long time.
Click....
After a while, the housekeeper Li Silde came back with a contract that had just been drawn up. The terms were clear and listed almost every situation that could be imagined. As long as you signed your name and pressed your fingerprint, the contract would take effect immediately.
Gray Wolf Dino took the pen, waved his hand, and signed his name on the contract. After pressing his fingerprints, he sneered: "I just remembered that you are a white wolf with nothing."
"I'll do the dirty work, leave the technical issues to the old tailor Morgan, and you don't have to do anything to get 25% of the share..."
"I'm the middleman."
Ma Wei shrugged, dipped his thumb into ink pad, and pressed hard on the end of the contract in the butler's hand: "Without the middleman, there would be no such cooperation, so it is reasonable for me to take 25% of the shares."
"If you have such a mind and don't go into business, is it interesting to be the priest of a small church?"
"Of course it's interesting..."
Ma Wei looked at Yunia beside him, with her mouth full of macarons, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because I founded the Church of Truth that I was able to meet her. I do not regret my original decision. Compared with the turbulent life, , I prefer an ordinary life."
"Sure enough, I'm not the same person as you."
Shaking his head, Gray Wolf Dino was completely helpless. He waved his arm and ordered: "Li Silde, go pack a few bags of snacks for my goddaughter to eat."
"I understand, sir."
"When did I agree to let you be Nia's godfather?"
"Not godfather, but godfather."
Gray Wolf Dino corrected him: "I am so rich, am I not qualified to be your daughter's godfather?"
Ma Wei smiled and did not answer.
"Hey, you don't really think I'm not qualified, do you?"
With a start, Gray Wolf Dino looked at Ma Wei warily, pointed at the living room as big as several basketball courts and shouted: "In this area, such a big house cannot be bought with just money! How many people are there? Even if you want to be my godson, I won’t even agree!”
"Money, while important, is not everything, Dino."
This sentence made Gray Wolf Dino fall into deep thought again. He poured a glass of vodka, lowered his head and sipped it, dazed.
After getting the snack, Ma Wei stood up and said goodbye to him: "I'm leaving, thank you for the snack."
............................
The streets at night are not peaceful. Drunks are staggering on the roadside. The lights are brightly lit in the tavern in the distance, and loud singing is heard. The melodious tunes of the accordion are dancing in the cold wind, and thieves are sneaking around. Hide in the shadows in search of delicious prey.
When Ma Wei returned to the church, he found several figures standing at the door of the church, wearing straight tuxedos and black leather hats, and hurriedly knocking on the door.
police?
What do they come to church for?
Stepping forward quickly, Ma Wei stopped them from knocking on the door and asked, "Officer, what's the matter?"
"Who are you?" the leading police officer asked.
"Marve Enders, priest of the Church of Truth."
"You came just in time, come with us."
The leading policeman winked, and several of his men immediately surrounded Ma Wei.
"Why are you arresting me?"
Ma Wei said calmly: "There must be a crime for arresting people, police officer."
"Did you go to Maggie Kris's house at 2 o'clock this afternoon?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Maggie Kris is dead. We are ordered by Inspector Macmillan to take you to the scene for investigation."
