Laura knit her brows and said, "I already thought that this would happen, but I didn't think that they would come this quickly. We just got a little bit better here and they already came. I think it would be better to tell Mister about this situation." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Quinn John nodded and said, "This situation should be reported to Mister. But I think it's better to wait and see what Alodia says and does before telling Mister. After all, we can't bother Mister with everything."
Laura nodded, then sighed. "It's only been two days, and now there's something happening again. The people at home are also like this. We haven't expanded our business. Aside from the Purcell Duchy, we've only opened one or two stores in the big cities. Their businesses won't have any impact, but I didn't think that they would still think about us." Laura sighed and said, "That's right.
Kun sighed, "Who made the Taoyuan products so attractive? Although the Taoyuan products are limited in quantity, they are still very popular. These people are very clear about what the existence of such a product means for a store. Therefore, they all rushed over." Zhao Hai sighed and said, "The Taoyuan products are very attractive. Although the Taoyuan products are limited in quantity, they are still very popular. These people are very clear about what the existence of such a product means for a store.
Laura coldly snorted and said, "Now that they think of us, what are they doing? Moreover, Haven's products aren't something that we can control. Even if we want to, we still need to go through Mister. Hmph, I want to see what these fellows want to do." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Hahaha.
Karen had been listening to the conversation between the two of them. He wasn't interested in these things, but he still loved Laura. When he heard Quinn John say that the people who came this time might be for Laura's business, Karen couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Karen was a good person, but if someone wanted to touch his daughter, how could he endure it? Although he didn't care about anything, he also knew that everything in the Purcell Duchy was built by Laura bit by bit. It was Laura's blood, sweat, and tears. Touching these things was tantamount to touching Laura. How could Karen let such a situation happen?
Karen calmly said, "Laura, if there's really something, don't forget to tell me. Although I don't understand business matters, after so many years, I've made some mage friends who might be able to help a little." Laura nodded and said, "Don't worry.
Karen's words were somewhat out of Laura's expectations. Karen generally didn't care about these things. Laura wasn't used to it, but she still said, "Dad, you don't have to worry about my matters. If there's anything, I'll tell you." Karen nodded. Karen was a bit surprised.
Karen nodded, stood up, and turned to leave. Laura didn't stop him. Laura didn't think that Karen would help her. Although Karen had known some magicians over the years, he also knew a lot of alchemists and alchemists. In the eyes of the average person, alchemists and alchemists were a group of madmen. They also studied some messy things, and because of that, their lives were very difficult. They needed Karen to help them from time to time.
Although this was a network, it was useless. The Empire didn't pay much attention to these people. Only people like Karen would associate with these madmen. In the eyes of others, Karen was also a madman.
Laura looked at Karen's back and sighed. "Grandpa Quinn John, my father seems a bit strange today." Quinn John smiled.
Quinn John smiled and said, "It's alright, he's just a little sad. He feels that he can't help you. No father would want to see his children being put in a difficult position. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Alodia. If he really wants Taoyuan products, what should we do?"
Laura coldly snorted. "I won't give it to him. Do you think I'll give it to him just because he wants it? Humph, our industry in the Purcell Duchy was built by us. We don't need to be afraid of them. "
Kun Zhen smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of them. They can't take away Taoyuan's products. It's just that you know how those people at home are. If we don't agree, I'm afraid they will use some tricks. We should prepare in advance."
Laura nodded, her eyes flashed with a cold light as she said, "If they don't do those little tricks, then that's fine. But if they do, then I'll teach them a lesson. Let's see if they still dare to act recklessly."
Quinn John smiled faintly. "You should do so. This way, those people in the family will know our current strength. Later, when the young lady talks about conditions with the family, she will have more confidence."
Laura nodded. She was aware of her own situation. She was already eighteen years old. In other families, girls of her age would have already been married. She was the only one who had been delayed until now.
This was also because she didn't have a mother. If her mother was still alive, she would have already arranged a marriage for her. However, Laura felt that this was very good. To be honest, because of business reasons, she had a lot of contact with the heirs of aristocratic families. But none of them were able to enter her eyes.
Those heirs of noble families were either as arrogant as fighting cocks, as hypocritical as foxes, as gloomy as poisonous snakes, or as playboys. She didn't like them at all.
It was precisely because of this that Laura was desperately learning how to do business. This way, the family wouldn't use her for marriage. For a large family like the Markey Dell clan, if she were to marry, then her partner would certainly be a great aristocrat. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be worthy of them.
Laura's current control over her own business was very strong. Although her business was now big, she didn't relax. She was very clear that her own business was her own capital, her own capital to negotiate with the family.
However, in order to deal with Alodia's arrival, Laura still gave the stewards of her shop a warning in advance, so that they would be honest.
Three days after Laura and the others finished their discussion, Alodia arrived at Casa City. When Alodia arrived at Casa City, he naturally went to report to Laura.
Laura's house in Casa City wasn't small, and it was also quite a distance away from their shop. The house they were currently living in was in the wealthy district of Casa City. Those who lived here were either rich or noble, so it was impossible for them to live here if they didn't have a certain status.
Although Carlo's status in the Markey Dell clan was very high, Alodia's status as a steward naturally wouldn't be too low. However, Laura didn't go to greet him. In any case, Alodia was only a servant of the Markey Dell clan. There was no reason for the master to greet the servant.
Before, Laura had some contact with Alodia. She still remembered that Alodia was thin and tall. He was usually very cautious and had always been very low-key.
Laura, Quinn John, and Karen were all sitting in the living room. A servant led Alodia into the living room. Alodia was the same as Laura remembered. He was thin and tall and looked to be around sixty years old. His face was weathered, but his attitude was very respectful. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately saluted Karen and said, "Little Alodia greets the Second Young Master, Miss Laura, and Steward Quinn John."
The several heirs of the Markey Dell clan could only be called 'Young Master'. Who let Sir Sauss still be alive? Alodia was also an elder of the Markey Dell clan, so he naturally knew how to address them.
Karen looked at Alodia and nodded. "You don't have to be so polite. How is Fifth Brother recently? I haven't seen him for a long time. "
Alodia quickly said, "Fifth Young Master is fine. He's just too busy and couldn't come to see Second Young Master. Fifth Young Master also let this little one apologize to Second Young Master."
Karen nodded and said, "Fifth Brother is too polite. He still remembers that I have such a disappointing elder brother. I'm already very happy. You know that I'm not in charge of anything. If there's anything you want to say, just tell it to Laura." Then he stood up and walked away.
Alodia obviously understood Karen very well, so he wasn't surprised. He just bowed to Karen and said, "I'll send Second Young Master off." Karen nodded and left the living room.
As soon as Karen left the living room, Laura smiled at Alodia and said, "Steward Alodia, please sit down. Don't just stand there. You've worked hard on the road."
Alodia gently sat in a chair and said to Laura, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Laura. This little one's life is cheap. Rushing such a short distance isn't hard at all."
Laura nodded and said to Alodia, "Is Fifth Uncle's business doing well? I think it shouldn't be bad. With Fifth Uncle's ability, doing business is just a piece of cake. "
Alodia smiled and said, "The Young Master's business is doing well. It's just that he's been very busy recently. Otherwise, he would have personally come this time. This little one also brought gifts for the Second Young Master and Miss Laura. They're all in the carriage."
Laura nodded. "Fifth Uncle is too polite. Grandpa Quinn John, have someone move the gifts to the storehouse. Also, have Steward Alodia prepare a place to stay. This time, it's not easy for him to come to the Purcell Duchy. How can we let him stay for two more days?"
Alodia saluted Laura and said, "This little one thanks Miss Laura."
Laura nodded and said, "You've worked hard on the road. Go and rest for two days. If there's anything you want to say, say it after two days. If it's urgent, you can say it now."
Alodia quickly stood up and said, "This little one has nothing urgent to say. I'll take my leave first." Then he saluted Laura and walked out.
Laura didn't think that Alodia would actually withdraw like this. Now she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Alodia was selling in his gourd.
Before long, Quinn John returned. Laura looked at Quinn John and said, "Grandpa Quinn John, how was it?"
Quinn John nodded. "It seems that they were prepared this time. In addition to the gifts they gave us, there were also two carriages full of gifts. It seems that they were given to someone, but I don't know who they were given to."
Laura frowned and said, "We'll know soon. They will certainly make a move in the next two days."
