Chapter 107: Promotion?
Early the next morning, Wayne asked Furla to drive Chrissy back to school and personally opened the door for her senior teacher.
Students are stupid, so we apologize for the inconvenience caused.
After finishing his homework last night, Wayne extended an invitation to Chris. The detective agency has been renovated and is about to open, but it still needs a trustworthy accountant.
When it comes to accounts, you must find an acquaintance.
Veronica and Willie recommended Chris to him. I wonder if the latter intends to name her and receive a salary every month.
It doesn't matter whether it was recommended by Veronica and Willy. What's important is that the three of them are very powerful and Wayne doesn't want to separate them.
Both equilateral triangles and isosceles triangles have stability, even if one is missing!
When she heard that it was recommended by Veronica and Willy, Chris readily agreed.
Her character is like this, she is very gentle and will not refuse her friends' requests. If there is a conflict between her positions, she will often consider her friends first.
Before the car left, Wayne gave Fula a look, and the latter understood. On the way back to school, he would say some kind words about Mr. Wayne from the side.
All in all, this is a very elegant gentleman who is the first choice whether in love or marriage.
After the car left, Wayne asked Willy to walk along the street to the Commercial Street Detective Agency.
On the way, Wayne bought several newspapers and magazines and read the latest news and gossip.
There was a piece of news that attracted his attention. At the end of September, the Prime Minister of the Windsor Cabinet would go to Prussia to attend the four-nation summit and sign an agreement on Prussia's recovery of lost territory.
Wayne declined to comment. From God's perspective, this was undoubtedly a foolish move, but given the current situation, it could only be delayed for a while, and compromise was a helpless move.
Seeing Wayne's solemn expression, Willie looked at the newspaper. The boring news was not interesting at all.
But soon, Wayne saw another piece of news in the magazine, which was very important, even more important than the four-nation summit.
[What exactly are stockings and why do they make the whole London crazy about them]
In magazines, female models wearing stockings are glamorous. Their long straight legs and stockings complement each other, showing off all kinds of charm.
The slightly smaller photo is taken from a street scene in Lundam. Women with imperfect figures are wearing stockings, which can cover up the imperfections in their legs, making them appear dignified, elegant and beautiful.
Even her appearance has improved a bit.
The stockings have been put on the market, and just as Wayne expected, they have been very popular since they were released. The stock has been cleared out due to rave reviews.
The production speed of the factory cannot keep up with the sales speed. The price of stockings is rising steadily, and the market price is adjusted almost every day.
There is a long queue in front of the shopping mall. Most of the customers are women, but there are also men. Silk stockings have become a hot item that is praised by everyone. In the eyes of consumers, apart from the price rising too fast and the sales volume being too small, there are no shortcomings. It can be said.
At the same time, the brand company that sells silk stockings, the brand Heifei Valentine, has also successfully entered the London fashion circle.
The magazine also wrote about the designer of the stockings. Although there was no photo, the name Wayne became a close friend of Lundam women overnight.
Men felt the same way. After the initial misunderstanding, they felt that Wayne was too understanding.
genius!
Consumables like stockings are simply an invention that transcends the ages.
It’s just a bit expensive!
"Tsk, how could it have become a consumable item just now? What are everyone thinking? The world is really in decline..."
Wayne whispered, refusing to be associated with LSPs. He didn't understand at all. The purpose of inventing silk stockings was to give female compatriots the confidence to wear beautiful skirts in the summer. There was no messy purpose.
Wei Li leaned her head in and looked at the model in the magazine, frowning and pouting: "The photos are all deceptive. The model's legs are too long. Ordinary people wearing stockings won't have the same effect. This is deceiving consumers."
"You can't say that. Your legs are also very long. They will look great in stockings." Wayne understood and directly said what Willy wanted to hear.
"whee."
Sure enough, Willy changed her face in a second and dragged Wayne to the commercial street to buy stockings.
"Don't go to such trouble. I have a few pairs in the house. You can try them on. If the size doesn't fit, I'll ask the manufacturer to send a few more pairs." Wayne approved of Weili's behavior of giving out benefits.
"Hey, why do you know the manufacturer?"
"Look at this."
Wayne pointed to the designer's name in the magazine, then pointed to himself.
Willie suddenly opened her mouth and said in disbelief: "When, why have I never heard you say that you are still a fashion designer?"
"Low-key, I don't want too many people to know. Due to my personality, I'm not someone who likes to brag. For example, I didn't say anything about the last movie I made." Wayne never forgets to establish his character.
If he hadn't been too ambitious and was still playing with balance, and the muscle guys were really big, he would have eaten up a free girl like Wei Li and put on his pants long ago.
Willie nodded repeatedly, her admiration for Wayne reaching its peak at this moment.
A woman's love for a man is always a little bit of admiration, which is why successful people can always change beautiful girlfriends at will. Sometimes, they don't even need to use their ability to withdraw money, just consuming their personality is enough.
Wayne patted Willy's head, and the latter subconsciously hooked his arm and whispered: "Wayne, do you think who looks better in stockings, Chris or Veronica? Both of them have straight legs. long."
I’m afraid you’re not asking about stockings!
Wayne raised his eyebrows. The attack speed here was too fast, and the girl was about to serve a straight ball.
It’s not appropriate, it needs to be suppressed.
Wayne pondered for a moment, stared into Willy's eyes and said, "Why are there only Chris and Veronica? I want to add you in, is that okay?"
"Um."
Willie lowered her head, not daring to look directly, her heart pounding wildly.
"I choose Chrissy."
"???"
A series of question marks floated across Willy's head, and she raised her head suddenly: "Then why did you add me in?"
"Veronica is not as good as Chris because she rarely wears skirts. If she doesn't wear skirts, she doesn't have stockings. It's not her fault. I don't want her to be at the bottom." Wayne analyzed rationally.
"..."
Willie: ()
The turning point came too fast and suddenly, and the deer was directly hit and killed.
Willie let go of Wayne and angrily walked ahead, but not too fast, waiting for Wayne to come over and comfort her.
But no.
————
Wayne Detective Agency, second floor.
Willie folded her arms and sat on the sofa angrily, mumbling some random thoughts.
Wayne made himself a cup of coffee and stood at the window, quietly looking at the mighty Dawn Detective Agency opposite.
Free is so delicious, he will definitely not be able to beat it.
Fortunately, the problem is not big. The two detective agencies target different markets. Dawn Detective Agency focuses on people who see injustice, while Wayne Detective Agency focuses on cutting off the wealth of wealthy people. There is no competition between the two parties.
Halfway through the coffee, Veronica came uninvited, holding several letters in her hand.
The letter was placed in the detective agency's mailbox. When Wayne went upstairs, he was busy watching Willie jumping around and forgot to check the mailbox.
Veronica handed the letter to Wayne, and when she saw the sulky Willie on the sofa, she immediately said it was incredible. In her impression, the optimistic and cheerful Willie was laughing and joking all day long, and was rarely unhappy.
What's wrong, was he attacked at night by a pervert? Veronica stepped forward and within two words, she was immediately aroused by Willy and became so angry that she pinned her down on the sofa with her backhand.
Wayne was used to daily interactions.
While looking at his best friends playing with stickers, he opened the envelope and looked at them one by one.
The first is a cover letter from Detective Wesley, whom Wayne met in the town of Enlord.
The circle of detectives is either big or small. Wesley received the news and came to apply for a job as promised, leaving a business card.
The second letter was also from an acquaintance, Kerr Poirot, who found out the address of Wayne Detective Agency from the White Glove Association and left his business card to make an appointment for dinner.
Wayne has a good sense of the two detectives. The former has superb professional skills and is a courageous investigator. He can be a good name for the detective agency after being recruited.
Although the latter is not interesting, there is no problem with his character, especially his aesthetics, which Wayne admires very much. There is no problem with him as a buddy, let alone a friend.
The third letter came from the White Glove Association.
Wayne completed the Dragon Heart Island commission, found out the cause and effect, and the White Glove Association sent the balance check.
Fifty thousand constitutions.
"The client has died. Where can I get the balance? Lao Yinbi performs a full set of performances. He continues to perform even though he knows it is embarrassing. It is really difficult to deal with."
Wayne accepted the check, opened the letter, and read through it.
[Dear Detective Wayne, congratulations on passing the assessment test and successfully activating the association membership level]
[According to the emergency on Longxin Island, the association adjusts the difficulty of the case, and your membership level is raised to blue]
[The current membership level can enjoy many benefits, exemption of membership fees, and the association’s internal detective newspapers...]
The letter is very long and contains a lot of information, such as an explanation of membership levels.
White, yellow, green, blue, purple and black, the membership levels are from light to dark in color, white is to be activated and the association can be withdrawn at any time, black is the highest level, representing the highest detective level of the White Gloves Association.
"It's obviously a White Glove Association, but the highest detective level is black. If you guys hadn't ranked yellow first, I almost thought it was the equipment level."
Wayne collected the letters from the White Glove Association and opened the remaining envelopes. It was not important to return visits from newspapers and magazines he subscribed to, as well as sales letters.
Wayne didn't know much about the White Gloves Association. He only knew that it was an association that monopolized the Lundam detective industry. Its members were powerful, including church magicians like Kerr.
Low-level detectives handle simple cases, and because the client is either rich or noble, they usually receive a considerable amount of remuneration. They have been in business for three years, and they belong to a high-quality association that can't be found on their knees.
According to Wayne's analysis, senior detectives will receive mysterious commissions, and the cases they handle will be very complex, involving people and heights that are unimaginable for ordinary detectives.
According to this line of analysis, the top brother of the White Glove Association is not Oston on the surface, but should be the Tulip family, or the Windsor royal family behind the Tulip family.
"The hands of the royal family are so big, controlling the overall situation from all aspects, so that if the church wants to develop here, it must abide by the rules of all walks of life..."
Wayne murmured and pressed his business card to contact Wesley and Kerr.
The former can come to join the detective agency and introduce two or three reliable colleagues. Wayne Detective Agency will officially open on September 1st.
the latter……
No one answered the phone, maybe because I worked too hard last night and haven't woken up yet.
"Wayne, mother wants you to go home for dinner tonight. I have something to tell you." Veronica stopped fighting with Willy and used her fists to cheer up her unhappy bestie.
"What's up?"
————
"About your service in the church."
Landau Manor, after the family had dinner, Xifei took her students to the study.
She respected Wayne's attitude and talent, and believed that sitting in an office as a student would only waste time. Moreover, Wayne was not inferior to the salary of a civil servant, so she simply did not name him in the church.
But the policy has recently changed.
This involves personnel changes in the Church of Nature. When the cake is divided, power is re-divided. The main winners are Xifei and Flora. After the reshuffle, power faces new constraints, which can't be explained in a few words.
Because of the Dark Knight's activity, the Windsor Division of the Church of Nature suffered heavy losses. Elites from all over the country gathered in London and were almost wiped out. The headquarters ordered Heaphy to clean up the mess as quickly as possible, not only Lundan, but also the entire Windsor situation.
In the Life Alliance, the two churches of Sun and Moonlight are developing in Lundan. The once glorious Heavenly Father Church has been reduced to only one archbishop. Only the Natural Church has successfully opened up the subdivision, and the rights disputes involved are extremely complicated.
The headquarters allowed Heaphy to transfer manpower from Frank, and he had to maintain his basic position no matter what. Otherwise, the Church of Nature would not only lose its elite, but many years of investment would be in vain.
You know, the asking price of the Windsor royal family was not low back then!
This gave Flora a good opportunity to quickly expand her power. She brought many cronies, each of whom was able to act independently.
Xifei could not stop him, so he could only arrange for his cronies to be named and seize the good positions first.
Heaphy doesn't have many cronies, she can count them all on two hands. The only people she trusts most in Lundan are Wayne and Veronica.
"Veronica has already made arrangements. I will name you as the pastor in Jianhe County. Jianhe County is very close to Lundan. You can drive there in two hours from home."
Xifei said: "Don't worry, someone will handle the daily affairs. You are just in name, which is equivalent to gold plating. You don't need to stay in Jianhe County."
What do you mean, I am a jobless vagabond, and I have nothing to do to get promoted?
It’s wonderful to get a free salary and still be able to live in a fish and meat village!
"Okay, teacher, just look at the arrangements. I have no objection."
Wayne didn't refuse. The teacher really lacked people, otherwise he wouldn't have taken out this precious kid.
He asked curiously: "There is a dark knight in Lundan. If we send so many people out, what if the dark knight comes knocking on the door?"
"Priest Flora and I are at the divisional headquarters."
Xifei's words were concise and concise. Ordinary golden mages were not qualified to compete with the Dark Knight, and it was useless to stay. It was better to provide blood transfusions to various places to alleviate the chaos in major strongholds where no one was in charge of the overall situation.
"In addition, although you don't have to stay in Jianhe County, you must go there at least twice a month."
"no problem."
Wayne nodded repeatedly and was about to go. He was very uneasy with the ancient silver coins in his pocket, feeling that the robber Gangplank would come to rob them at any time.
I just used the excuse of a business trip to squat outside for a few days.
Also, he knew that college life in Jianhe County was good, and he heard that there were a lot of female college students there.
While talking, Heaphy explained to Wayne the division of civil servants in the Church of Nature.
From running errands in the office to first-level deacon, then to chaplain, priest, high priest, and promotion to the oracle high priest who is transferred back to the headquarters. If nothing else, this is the entire promotion process of the administrative department.
The situation at the headquarters is also complicated. In addition to the oracle high priest, there are two special positions under the pope: the great prophet and the saint/child.
Wayne listened casually. He had no intention of becoming a civil servant, but he was very enthusiastic about his teacher becoming a pope and had always been thinking about the pure saint.
"Work hard and get more merit, which will come in handy in the future." Xifei looked at the good student meaningfully.
Unexpectedly, you have the potential to become the Son of God.
"Teacher, what's the use of merit?"
"You can redeem magic. The higher your position, the more magic you can learn, and divine magic is no exception."
Wayne's interest greatly increased: "For example?"
"Too many, like the magic of life!"
