"In fact, I don't have as noble intentions as you think." At this moment, Leonard lightly rested his hand on Joan's, "I just want to secure a stable, long-term profit."
"But what you've done is commendable enough, after all, we're just human beings." At this, Joan turned her hand to grip Leonard's, "The fact that you were able to resist short-term excessive profits in favor of long-term gains already speaks volumes about your intentions."
After all, any long-term sustainable development, when compared to the quick, short-term profit from a single venture, lacks sufficient appeal to ordinary people. Those who can do this are maintaining some level of goodwill at heart.
"By the way, where has Mary been?" After being praised by Joan, Leonard felt somewhat shy and changed the subject. After all, it's one thing for ordinary people to praise you, but it's quite another for Saint Joan, a historical figure, to do the same.
