Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
This afternoon, Eli had just finished his day's work and was preparing to return.
Othello opened the door roughly, dropped a document, and said arrogantly: "You have finished processing this document for me tonight, I want it tonight."
"Deputy Director Othello, I'm off work." Eli said calmly.
"Hmph, I say yes, or else you should prepare to leave when I become the curator, and your old immortal teacher!" Othello didn't care and snorted coldly.
"Yeah, yeah, as long as you're happy, I'm off work. You should leave this work to others!" Eli shook his head and left outside without even looking at the document.
No wonder he is the villain, this guy has no brain at all!
"You..." Othello's eyes widened when he saw that Eli dared to leave in front of him.
"Come back here!"
Angry voices filled the room, but Eli had already left.
Just kidding, how could his tradition of not taking the initiative to work overtime for 20 years be broken today? In his last life, he died working overtime. Such a thing will never happen again in this life.
"Wait until I become the curator!" Othello gritted his teeth and threw the documents to the ground angrily.
There are only five days until the election of the curator. By then...
…
night.
Othello returns home.
at dinner.
Othello sits on one side with a proud look on his face, and opposite him is his father Amir.
"How is your library?" Amir asked while eating foie gras.
"Everything is fine, but some bugs are troublesome. I will take care of them when the time comes." Othello gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
"That's good, you seize the opportunity. If you become the curator, our family will instantly compare to the Earl's family." Amir also had a smile on his face.
He knew that he was being used as a gun, but he would not let go of this opportunity. There was no way, the benefits were too great.
"I hope there won't be any big surprises." Amir looked at Othello opposite and said.
"What accident could happen!" Othello looked disdainful.
…
the next day.
Othello and his father had breakfast as usual, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
Suddenly, a panicked voice came in, and a man rushed in rolling and crawling.
"Sir, it's bad, our business has a problem. Several large chambers of commerce suddenly joined forces to block our channels. No chamber of commerce is willing to ship to us!" The man gasped, with a look of fear on his face.
"What???"
Amir stood up immediately, and Othello was also a little shocked.
what happened.
"What's going on? What about foreign chambers of commerce?" Amir didn't care about eating anymore. This was a matter related to the family's lifeline.
You must know that what they are most afraid of in this kind of capitalless business is which side has problems. If one side does not ship, the chain reaction caused by the other side will be enough to cause them to collapse directly.
"Master, I don't know." The man said with a cry on his face: "Not only domestic chambers of commerce, but also foreign chambers of commerce, led by the Kazan Chamber of Commerce, have given up on business. Now we only have two or three channels left."
Gulu!
Amir's throat moved slightly, and cold sweat ran down his back.
This is definitely what happened and he didn't know.
What happened.
He turned to look at Othello beside him and said, "Have you provoked anyone recently?"
"Who can I mess with? It's not just a bunch of stinky scholars in the library. I didn't touch those who had status. Yesterday, there was a student from the deputy director who ignored me and left." Othello was a little flustered, but he still said it. come out.
"That shouldn't be the case!" Amir shook his head. Othello was a little stupid, but not that stupid. He knew that some people should not be messed with.
"No, if this is the case, go find Earl Sarah now!" Amir's legs were a little weak, but he immediately asked someone to arrange a carriage.
And looking at the panicked Othello behind him, he cursed: "Don't panic, we still have a backer, it's no problem."
Othello calmed down a little.
…
"Amir, I'm sorry, I can't help you this time. I'm really sorry."
Amir also panicked when he heard the news from Count Salin.
"What happened?" Amir worriedly asked. If Count Salin couldn't help them, it would really be over.
"I don't know either. Since yesterday, the Gremory family has had a conflict with our family. It is simply inexplicable. The countess is troublesome and has no brains. We have to protect our own industry!" Earl Sarah looked confused.
"Then Lord Earl, if this is the case, then we are doomed!" Amir's face was already a little green at this time.
On the way, he had already used means to threaten those chambers of commerce, but they ignored him at all. This made him know that someone higher up must come forward, otherwise this matter would not go through.
Earl Salin is the earl with the closest interests to them. If he doesn't help, it seems that something big has really happened.
"Don't worry, this matter has also damaged my interests. I will go back to the Marquis Hermann family today to ask for help to hold off Earl Gremory first, and then I will deal with your matter!" Earl Salin comforted.
"That's good. With your words, Lord Earl, I can rest assured." Amir seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look at you like this. Why are you panicking? It's just a small problem. I will most likely be able to help you tomorrow." Count Salin whispered.
"Yeah." Amir nodded.
One day is fine, but if it really drags on for two or three days, it will really be over. The family may go bankrupt, sell off their property, and their aristocratic status will plummet.
"Damn it, I should have arranged some real estate." Amir regretted it.
But what he used to earn was from capital-free trading. He had already seen the huge benefits in it, so he chose this path. How could he make more money from capital-free business? What's more, they were reselling bulk goods to earn the price difference. What they earned was information. Bad money.
"Okay, you go back and wait for the news." Earl Salin was also one of the top two at this time, and sent Amir away first.
"Okay, Lord Earl, I'll leave first." Amir wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned to leave.
…
night.
Corsi family territory.
Amir, Othello, and one of his brothers sat in the living room, silently waiting for news.
"Father, don't be nervous. With the Hermann family, there will be no problem." Othello no longer had the pride he had before, but he was still confident. He had not gone to the library all day, after all, he really couldn't care less.
I don’t know who issued the rule about not being late.
"Yeah!" Amir nodded.
Suddenly, a man walked in from outside the door. Amir knew him as the housekeeper of the Sara family.
"How is it!" Amir stood up quickly, and Othello and his brother also stood up beside him, a little nervous.
The butler didn't say a word. He bit his lip and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Viscount. I'm afraid we won't be able to help you this time. The Herman family is also in trouble."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, knocking the three of them unconscious.
Amir's vision went dark and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Othello and his brother's legs also collapsed and they fell directly to the ground.
"It's over, it's over." Othello was confused.
