Chapter 341
“What? Are you going to Jingyao?”
Paul was shocked. As soon as he entered the office and sat down, Betty, the education director, came to the door and made an unexpected request— —Going to Jingyao to visit relatives.
"Uh...yes, Paul."
Irene's tone was a little uneasy, and she seemed a little embarrassed, "I know that my current job...is very important, but I still have to Go to Jingyao.”
Paul asked: "Is it because of the letter from Jingyao? Your relatives in the royal capital asked you to go there?"
Irene nodded lightly.
"Okay? This trip plus the time spent with your relatives...how long will it take?"
"This..."
Irene was very hesitant because she was not sure whether she could leave Jingyao. Even if she could escape, her personal feelings were very complicated - she had to run away from home to escape her father's forced arrangement. If If her mother hadn't lied to her, there was no prerequisite for running away from home now. Speaking of which, her initial plan was just to "live temporarily" in the Northwest Bay.
Although there is a "career" that she likes here...
"More than a month." She said casually, and she couldn't tell the earl her true thoughts yet, in case he didn't let her go. what to do?
"Okay, then I'll give you a month and a half of vacation. Oops, I really can't let you go after such a long time."
Paul was a little helpless, after controlling Emden so much After acquiring a large piece of land, he also has plans to build several new schools. He must hurry up and brainwash the next generation of Emden... Ah, he must hurry up and cultivate correct values for the next generation of Emden.
If Miss Betty is not here, the plan will be postponed.
"Then, Paul...while I'm away, I recommend La Di to be the acting agent."
She was leaving and probably wouldn't come back. Erin was a little unwilling to let go of herself in the northwest. The great cause of "civilization" in the Gulf.
A year and a half ago, the Northwest Bay in her eyes was still a fringe area of civilization that was full of illiterates and ignorant people. In the whole of Alda, there was only a nondescript school built by the lord. And now? It would not be an exaggeration to say that a hundred flowers are blooming compared to before. Eileen believes that a large part of the credit is due to her, and it is precisely because of this that she is particularly dedicated to this work and strives to continue to expand the results.
Although she has to leave now, she must continue to pursue this career, so she chose Ladi Setia, whom she trusted most.
“I accept your recommendation, after all, you are the two people with the highest academic qualifications in my territory.”
Hearing a new word, Erin asked curiously: "Education? What is that?"
Paul shrugged: "It is a person's education level. Aren't you and Ladi both genuine? Scholar? Oh, by the way, you studied in the Bachelor's Tower."
"That's right." Paul's words made Eileen feel a little proud, but it suddenly turned into guilt. Should I confess to him? I...I may not come back.
No matter what, the person in front of me can be regarded as "entrusting a heavy responsibility" to him. When so many people opposed it, it was Paul who put him in charge of education under pressure. He trusted himself so much.
Did I...did I betray his trust?
"Um...Paul..."
"What?"
"No, it's nothing. I'm going back first, and I have to find La Di to hand over the work."
Erin shook her head, but she still didn't say anything after all.
“Yeah, walk slowly.”
Erin turned and walked out, walked to the door and turned around and asked: "I plan to take a new merchant ship to go south by sea. What do you think?"
"I think it's okay. It has been operating for such a long time. There hasn’t been an accident.”
“Oh, okay.”
Irene turned around, closed the door, and left the office.
Paul lowered his head and continued to deal with the pile of official documents on his desk.
Unexpectedly, just after reading a report, the office door was pushed open as it hit the ground. "Huh? Who is it this time?"
The handsome figure of the education director appeared in front of us again.
"Betty, is there anything else?"
"I...I want to say..."
Irene stammered: "I will definitely come back."
She was determined to find an opportunity to visit the Northwest Bay again, although it may not be a month later, although it may not be in her current capacity .
Paul was a little confused now. The other party's tone sounded like farewell.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and the room immediately fell into an uncomfortable silence.
After a long silence, Paul stood up, walked up to Irene, looked into her eyes and asked softly: "Does this relative have to visit?"
Erin nodded.
"What difficulties are there? Oh... I mean, are there any difficulties that may be encountered on the road?"
Irene shook her head.
"Okay." Paul nodded, "Think carefully before you go, if you need any help, just ask."
Irene lowered her head, "Well, thank you."< br>
Paul smiled and said: "I believe what you just said. Although your position is represented by someone else, I will keep it for you. Relax and go to Jingyao happily."
" Hmm..." After hearing Paul's words and looking at each other like this, Irene's face suddenly turned red, and there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
"Thank you." After leaving these words, Erin left without looking back.
......
Three days later, Paul took La Di to say goodbye to Irene and Liya. He arranged a carriage to take them to Port Fulan, where they would then take a merchant ship to go south. .
After waving goodbye, Irene looked at the town in the center of the lake that was drifting away, as well as Paul and Ladi who were still looking at them from a distance, and suddenly felt a sense of reluctance in her heart.
Is it a work thing? I have already handed over the job, and with La Di's ability, she is fully qualified for this job. Haha, if he doesn't return for a long time, Paul will probably arrange for her to officially take over.
Is it the friendship with Ladi Setia? Indeed, she was the person he was most close to except the guard Liya. The sudden departure was really hard to bear, but he also told her one of the communication methods in Jingyao, so that he could write to her in the future. And she can still find herself at this address, although she will definitely be surprised when she actually meets him.
So, what else?
Yes, there is definitely something else.
The carriage gradually left the sight, and Ladi asked Paul: "Won't you try to persuade him to stay?"
"To persuade him to stay? What do you mean? She just asked for a month and a half leave to visit relatives in the capital!"
The female consultant's words brought some of Paul's worries to the surface, and he suddenly became uneasy, but he was unwilling to continue thinking about it.
La Di frowned and said, "I have a bad feeling."
"Stop talking!" Paul interrupted her, "Betty is not my slave. What right do I have to prevent her from visiting relatives?”
"Well, I hope my worries are unnecessary."
La Di stopped talking. Alas, the girl who ran away from home came to the Northwest Bay in an abnormal way. Maybe...maybe...or maybe she has to go back to where she should be.
Sorry, I'm a little busy at work recently.
