Chapter 324 Where is the breaking point?
However, such a plan was wasted because of a bottle of wine that looked indestructible.
Before I could talk about the publishing house-related matters with Geli, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse and became what it is now.
If I could eliminate the hatred between the two families, wouldn’t this be the best thing to do?!
He automatically ignored the question of whether he had made the conflict between the two sides more intensified.
What to do now?
In the end, Wien just stammered and said, "I... can't tell you about this..."
Hesitation will lead to failure at this moment, and decisiveness will be given in vain. Wien has already entered a dilemma.
Chris was silent for a while, "Are you going to have a drink?"
The smell of alcohol that could not be concealed by my body was not allowed to continue to quibble.
He even had a little doubt whether he accidentally spilled it on his body while drinking.
"Well..." He bit himself to death, and no matter what, he refused to reveal another word.
Chris turned his head and stopped looking at him.
"Yes." Her voice became cold.
"When you find an excuse, let's talk about it and tell me."
After leaving this obviously angry sentence, she obviously did not want to continue to stay with Vien, so she turned around and left the room.
"Hey, Chris..."
However, the only response to him was the sound of closing the door that was slightly heavier than usual.
really……
It would be strange if you give such a perfunctory answer.
...
Chris returned to her room in a depressed mood.
She felt very disappointed.
It was like when I was turning the turntable, I thought I was about to win the highest award, but I watched the pointer climb to the lowest level at a speed.
Wien...why did he do this?
Although I really want to find a few reasonable reasons from his perspective... but it still doesn't work.
As soon as I think of his smell of alcohol and guilty face, I feel very strange.
Do I really understand what kind of person he is?
——He is a person who is very attentive, smart, and very good at taking care of himself.
I thought so before.
But the way he refused to reveal the truth to himself just now was very different from his previous image.
My impression of him is almost overturned.
What exactly will make him rather go out to drink in the middle of the night than talk to himself?
It was obvious that I couldn't see anything the day before.
Is this the first time?
Or has it been staged countless times when I didn’t know it?
Thinking of some possible scenes, Chris couldn't help but squeeze the pillow that was being held in her arms.
...
The next day, Monday.
Qingxi Academy.
Since the last survey report homework was submitted, the study has returned to a familiar rhythm.
No need to rush to check information, no need to sacrifice precious rest time.
The end of the period is approaching day by day, and this should have been a very leisurely period.
After entering the Magic Academy, due to the decrease in the proportion of knowledge in writing, the improvement of the total score has become more dependent on the student's own magical strength—
In other words, talent determines the grades.
It is precisely because the gap has reached a situation that is difficult to make up by personal will, so everyone has become much more peaceful when it comes to exams.
Anyway, everyone has accepted what it is usually like and what the final results are like.
But in an environment where everyone around was generally happy, Wien, the second-year-old, was shrouded in low pressure, and he seemed a little dull.
"Winn? Winn!" Gavin raised his hand in front of him and shook it.
"Are you listening to me?"
Wien raised his head slowly and glanced at him.
Then, he turned around mechanically and looked straight ahead.
"It's really... why do you feel like you've lost your soul..." Gavin murmured in confusion.
Pulling the corner of his mouth, Wien rubbed his temples like a headache, and opened his mouth weakly: "What's wrong?"
Before she revealed the truth, Chris seemed to be not going to talk to her anymore.
Even before coming to school today, he wanted to start a topic several times, but Chris completely ignored it.
Ahh~ Finally, I was treated by Miss Songli from Krystal.
He thought without any resentment.
Fortunately, the Duke and Mrs. Elliot happened to go out early in the morning, and even after returning, they did not mention this matter to themselves.
It seems that Chris did not tell others about the conflict between the two. Even if someone noticed that the atmosphere between him and Chris was not right, he probably didn't know the inside story.
However, when she walked into the Lily Club activity room, the look that Miss Geli looked over... seemed to be a smile but was meaningful.
Wien thought something.
"Winn...is that's it."
Gavin looked around like a thief, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, he immediately dragged Wien's hand to the outside of the Lily Club activity room.
The small balcony located at one end of the corridor has a good view and is warm and pleasant.
After being told by Gavin, Vinn's originally bored mood improved a little.
He felt a little bored and supported his hands on the fence, looking at the scenery in the distance.
"Speak straight for anything."
Gavin rubbed his hands.
"Uh... Actually, I want to say, Wayne's family has opened a new publishing house?" He smiled flatteringly.
When he heard this opening remark, Van was stunned.
Since its opening, Shuye Publishing House has begun a wide publicity campaign.
At the same time, under her own suggestion, Chris also launched two types of newspapers, one called Wangdu Morning News, and the other called Lornes News, respectively, which were distributed to citizens living in the Wangdu and all the people in the entire kingdom. The office location was also set up in the Leaf Publishing House building.
The newspapers are cheap, have wide audiences, and have novel forms. Once launched, they received a great response, and citizens rushed to buy them. Stefanie said that businessmen who came to negotiate cooperation, and even civilians applying for jobs, are constantly in a row every day.
This is why Chris was so angry when he heard that the Edgeworth family had entered the same industry.
Seeing that the investment was about to reap the results, another company suddenly came out and wanted to get a share of the pie. How can you bear it?
Wien felt that this was understandable. If the head of the house there was not Ge Li, he might have caused some trouble for the Edgeworth family by himself.
But why is it a song ritual...
It's like seeing through your own weaknesses.
