Chapter 60 Under the calm daily life
"Brother~"
Not long after the baby-faced girl left the ward, Anna walked in carrying a small cloth bag and asked curiously: "What did you just talk about? Miss Amy seemed to be in a good mood, and there were no circles under her eyes. So swollen."
"Haha, of course we talked about something good!"
After solving the problem of his younger brother and sister going to school, Leon was also in a good mood. He reported the good news with a smile: "I didn't ask for compensation from Char Company just now, but asked her for a favor and sent Melanie to school. The matter of going to school with William is settled."
"Really!"
When she heard that her younger brother and sister's schools were settled, Anna's eyes couldn't help but be filled with surprise.
After walking quickly to the bed and sitting down sideways, she took out her lunch box from her pocket and asked happily: "Which public school is it? Is it the one built on Blackstone Lane? Or is it the one from Blackstone Lane?" Which one is outside the city from the alchemy factory?"
"Neither."
After smiling and shaking his head, Leon did not show off, but gave a direct answer.
"It's Shipbridge Public School, the one at the intersection of Shipbridge Street and Theater Street!"
Shipbridge School? !
After hearing the name of this school, Anna couldn't help but be overjoyed, and a blush of excitement appeared on her fair cheeks.
"Isn't that the best school in our old city! If William and the others can go to school there, as long as their grades are good, they can go directly to the school and even go to university! Oops! This is really..."
"Don't get excited, hey! Stay calm!"
Seeing the lunch box in his sister's hand tilted, a lot of soup seeped out from the gap in the lid. Leon was startled and quickly reached out to hold it. Although he successfully protected his lunch, he tore his broken ribs again. , and suddenly his face turned pale with pain.
"elder brother!"
The startled Anna quickly got up, supported Leon, who was breathing heavily in air conditioning, and leaned back on the pillow at the head of the bed. After waiting for a while to confirm that he was okay, she finally let go of her worries and said with a worried look: < br/>"Brother! You'd better stop moving now and I'll feed you."
Leon, who was grinning in pain, could only nod his head, then slightly raised his chin stuck on the neck brace, and took a sip of the fish soup that was brought to his mouth.
"hiss……"
Did you get burned?
Hearing Leon's breathing, Anna couldn't help but blinked in surprise, scooped up another spoonful of milky white fish soup, and took a sip herself.
"It's not hot either?"
"It's not that it's hot, it's that it's fresh."
Looking at his sister who still looked worried, Leon did not say that he was inhaling in pain, but smiled and joked:
"Anna~ This hospital seems to be a good place. After you stayed here for a few days, not only did you cure your disease, but your cooking skills are even better than before~"
"My cooking skills haven't changed. The main reason is that our family now has money and can afford to buy live fish and spices."
After taking out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiping a little fish soup from the corner of Leon's mouth, Anna forked a small piece of fish and handed it to Leon's mouth, and said happily: "Brother, someone knocked on our door this morning. At the door of my home, it was said that your colleague sent you this week’s salary, which contains nine golden wheels!”
Nine golden wheels...
After hearing Anna's words, Leon couldn't help but do some mental calculations.
My basic weekly salary is 12 gold wheels. Counting the 2 gold wheels from Toad's field mission, the total should be 14 gold wheels. After deducting the drinking bill, there are still 9 gold wheels...the six that the director ordered. A bottle of wine actually costs 5 gold wheels?
After being shocked by the price of the wine, Leon quickly swallowed the fish in his mouth, opened the badge panel and looked at the progress of [Wine Country Martyrs]. 117/1000
One hundred and seventeen bottles... If all these wines were at this price... Didn't he drink almost a hundred gold wheels on the day he was drunk and was sent home by the director? ! ! !
……
[Dear Miss Olivia, after your consumption in our store ten days ago, the wine bill totaling 327 gold wheels has not yet been paid. I hope you can settle it as soon as possible after receiving this notice. , our store is looking forward to your visit again]
"..."
After reading the reminder letter placed on his desk, the silent red-haired director picked up the wine bottle, tilted his head and took a sip of tea inside, then put the whiskey bottle back on the table and looked at the contents and whiskey. The liquid of the same color was silently lost in thought.
Why did I go crazy in the first place and why did I treat him to drink so much?
Remembering a certain drinking buddy who was obviously so drunk that he felt like he could dive under the table at any time, but no matter how hard he drank, he couldn't stop drinking. The red-haired director couldn't help but rub his swollen temples and vaguely recalled. Reminds me of some parts of that night.
Director, these are all wines you ordered. Do we want some more meals?
I'll try other ones too, but just drink one cup to taste it.
ah? Is that all? Don't you have a good drinking capacity?
Can't you afford it? How about I pay some too?
"..."
Have I been fooled?
Relying on his extraordinary memory, after remembering how his wallet was emptied step by step, the red-haired director couldn't help but smacked his lips in annoyance. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like Kaizi had taken the bait.
Someone said he didn’t know how to drink, so he just took one sip, and ended up drinking more than he did! What's even more outrageous is that when he ran out of wine, he lay down directly on the ground and began to sleep soundly. I had to be responsible for sending him home!
Touching his wallet that had just been paid out and deflated again, the red-haired director couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
I, Olivia, will die of poverty! I'm so greedy! I can only lie to myself by filling tea bottles with water, and I will never drink with Leon again!
Never!
After casually crumpling the reminder bill into a ball and throwing it into the trash can beside the table, the sullen red-haired director grabbed a pile of newspapers on the table and started reading the news that happened this week.
The Sun: "Shocked, a citizen passed by Charles Department Store a few days ago and unexpectedly received a windfall from heaven! 》
"Pfft!"
Looking at the gray photo on the front page of the newspaper, Lyon was pressed down by countless golden wheels, with only two arms exposed. The red-haired director couldn't help but chuckle, and after a quick glance, he cut the report. Next, he put in Leon's file with a smile.
There is just one missing picture in the report on the coming incident of the Holy Spirit of the Scale Gold Sect. I might as well use this one when submitting the report~ Haha, let you cheat me out of my drinking money!
Oh, and it’s been four days. With Lyon’s current situation, he can probably go back to work today, right?
After quickly reading the entire Sun newspaper and seeing nothing suspicious, the red-haired director felt much happier and continued to flip through other newspapers.
Daily News: "The editor-in-chief of our newspaper was attacked by rogue gangsters a few days ago. The opponent claimed that nobles are just lice in their crotches!" 》
Financial Times: "Affected by Charles Department Store's big promotion, Rose Department Store's revenue has dropped sharply, and it is suspected that it will close down!" 》
Dance Entertainment News: "The troupe's chief executive was boycotted due to a scandal. There is currently no replacement. Master Oscar Wilde's performance may be hindered!" 》
Hmm... Although a lot of things have happened, they seem to have nothing to do with "abnormality". The royal capital seems very peaceful recently!
After nodding with satisfaction, the red-haired director was about to put the newspapers away, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous piece of news in the corner.
New Industry News: "Aimi Liquor Industry's new couple wine is on the market, and couples can get a 50% discount after purchasing it together and drinking it on the spot."
"Hiss..."
