Chapter 4 Are You Kidding Me?

After leaving the private estate of Viscount Rexos, Kompany couldn't help but tease Joshua.

"You have the approval from the Kingdom Council, why do you still want me to come with you to meet the mayor?" Kompany complained a little. "I was so nervous just now that I couldn't hold back."

"Can't hold it back?" Joshua was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Kompany's lower body, and smiled with his lips pursed. "Brother-in-law, you will have many opportunities to get along with Viscount Rexos in the future. It is better to get used to talking with him on an equal footing like today."

"Ah? Why?" Kompany was stunned.

"Well... Come on, brother-in-law, let's talk in another place."

Joshua invited Kompany into the magic car that drove him, and drove to a river far away from Viscount Rexos's private estate and stopped.

After getting out of the car, Joshua took out a cardboard box from his arms, opened the box, took out a long and slender white item that was also wrapped in thin paper, and handed it to Kongpa Ni.

"What's this?" Kompany took it curiously, and smelled a scent of fragrance seeping out of it, which instantly made him feel much refreshed.

"This is the new Hanru grass cigarette released by the elves. Do you think it smells good? Come on, this is how you make it..."

Joshuaan signaled Kompany to put the thinner end of the Hanrucao cigarette in his mouth, then took out a small metal box from his bosom, touched one end of the metal box, and a small A little flame comes.

Then he brought the flame close to the other end of the Hanrucao cigarette, and under the burning of the flame, the front end of the Hanrucao cigarette was slightly scorched.

With a little Mars shining at the front end. The fragrance that I smelled just now became extremely strong in an instant. Let Kompany just take a sniff. Suddenly feel refreshed.

Joshua also took out one and lit it, then took a deep breath, let out a long breath, his face was refreshed, and then motioned to Kompany: "Take a breath and try."

Kompany stared at the thing in his mouth, thought for a while, took a tentative sip, and felt a cool breath pouring into his mouth. Straight into the throat.

"Cough cough cough—"

Kompany was caught off guard, choked up and coughed loudly.

Joshua laughed loudly, and patted Kompany on the back lightly to help him ease his breath.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry about this thing, take your time, take your time."

After Kompany coughed for a while, he finally regained his composure and looked at the Hanrucao cigarette in his hand. Inhaled lightly.

This time because of mental preparation, the cool breath did not suddenly flood into the trachea. Instead, it penetrated in a little bit, and then he felt the coolness coming out of the trachea, penetrating into every part of his body, making his whole body feel relaxed.

"This is a good thing!" Kompany couldn't help shouting in surprise. "Joshua, this must be very expensive, right?"

"It's not too expensive. It's a pack of 20. I'm paying the wholesale price, 30 silver coins per pack."

"Thirty silver coins?" Kompany was taken aback, and was immediately overwhelmed by the breath, and couldn't help coughing hard again. "Cough...cough cough...this...is so expensive? According to that? Isn't this one...a pack of thirty silver coins, twenty...one..."

"It's only one and a half silver coins, it's okay." Joshua An said with a smile.

"Hmm... one and a half silver coins..." Kompany stared seriously at the Hanrucao cigarette in his hand for a while, then turned around to look at the magic car parked behind the two of them, pondered for a moment, then suddenly moved his mouth He took out the half-burned Hanrucao cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stomped it out with his feet.

Seeing his actions, Joshua couldn't help being taken aback.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? This is a good thing, even if you have money, it's hard to buy it."

"I know he's a good guy, but..." Kompany shook his head, took a deep breath, and looked calm. "It's so good, I'm afraid I'll be tempted to want it after smoking one. It's too expensive for me to enjoy."

Joshua glanced up and down at Kompany in surprise, patted Kompany's shoulder lightly, pointed to the river and said, "Come on, brother-in-law, let's sit over there and have a good chat."

Kompany was a little surprised, and followed Joshua to the river and sat down.

Yue Xiu'an pondered for a moment, and said, "Brother-in-law, do you know what the purpose of my visit is?"

Kompany smiled: "I understand. You came here mainly for what you said when you met the mayor just now, right? Although I don't understand, I know it's a big deal. In comparison, coming back to visit relatives I'm afraid it was just incidental."

"Well... that's actually not bad. But in fact, if it wasn't for Winnie, I wouldn't take this small town as the first research target, so I can't actually say it's just by the way." Joshua settled down. After a pause, he pointed to the magic car parked on the side of the road in the distance. "Brother-in-law, do you want a magic car?"

Kompany was stunned: "Magic car? No, no, no, this thing costs thousands of gold coins, right? How can I afford it?"

"If you can't afford it now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to afford it in the future. Brother-in-law, are you so willing to stay in that factory as an ordinary worker?" Joshuaan asked again.

Kompany was silent for a moment and smiled wryly.

"I don't want to, but what can I do? I can't even read a few words, and I can't get a senior technician certificate if I want to. What if I don't become an ordinary worker?"

"That's why I first mentioned the establishment of a school when I was talking about the promotion of infrastructure with Viscount Rexos." Joshua turned his head to look southwest, with a hint of admiration in his expression. "Master Chairman has put forward the idea that talent is more than everything as early as ten years ago, but we dull people have not really realized the meaning of this sentence until the past two years."

Kompany was a little surprised, thinking that even when facing the mayor, Joshuaan still acted very calmly, even faintly showing a hint of aloofness, which shows that he should be a very proud person in his heart.

However, when he talked about the chairman, he showed such admiration without any concealment.

"That... the president of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is called Xu Yi, right? He is a very remarkable person?"

"Of course!" Joshua An immediately responded very positively. "Master President is the most amazing person I have ever met in my life, bar none! Among other things, don't tell me brother-in-law, don't you even know about the fall of Magister Levin Ansok five years ago?"

"I have heard of this." Kompany quickly defended. "However, I just heard that Magister Levin Ansok was killed when he attacked your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I don't know exactly what happened."

"Uh... I'm not too clear about the details. But think about it, the president was only a great magician at the time, but he was able to lead the Chamber of Commerce's men to successfully kill a magister. Isn't that amazing enough?" ? And it is precisely because of this incident that almost changed the understanding of magicians in the entire continent. The magic industry has been able to develop so fast in the entire continent in recent years, but it is entirely because of this incident. Otherwise..."

"Oh..." Kompany nodded in a daze.

He is just an ordinary civilian in the Kingdom of Falk who has never been out of the small town of Arafat, and he doesn't know much about the outside world. Now he is excited when he hears what Joshuaan said, but he really can't empathize with him.

After talking there, Joshua finally realized this, coughed lightly, and stopped continuing.

"Well... In short, the chairman is very amazing, there is no doubt about it. The infrastructure promotion department I work in was also established by the chairman himself two years ago. At first, many people did not understand, but in the After the promotion of the Principality of Standing and the Kingdom of Lampari, everyone realized the importance of the work I am doing now. I have to say that the chairman is really far-sighted..."

Kompany is still bewildered.

Yue Xiu'an could only helplessly stop, thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's not talk about the president. Brother-in-law, you said just now that you want to take the exam because you have no education. A senior technician certificate is very difficult, right?"

Kompany nodded.

"Then do you think Hawat and Saye will be like you in the future?"

"Of course not." Kompany shook his head immediately. "But... Halva's asking you and Winnie to study in the academy is enough trouble for you, Saye's words..."

"It would be fine if it was just the two of them. But my goal is not just the two of them, but all the children in the small town of Arafat. If they can get a proper education, wait until they grow up. After that, they will become very useful talents. So my first goal is to build a school in this small town so that all children can receive education."

"It's what you said to the mayor just now... education and training?"

"Heh, elementary education is only part of the basic construction of education and training. Of course, everything must start from the elementary level, so you are right to understand that."

"Then... this has something to do with me?" Kompany asked, pointing at himself.

"Of course." Joshua patted Kompany on the shoulder with a smile. "Brother-in-law, you also want to be able to afford a magic car, right? You also want to be able to enjoy Hanrucao cigarettes every day, right? You also want your sister and children to have a better life, right? As long as you listen to me Arrangements, these are not a problem."

Kompany scratched his head in wonder, "What do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple. Our Chamber of Commerce is about to invest in the establishment of a junior college in the small town of Arafat, and you will be the dean of this college."

"Huh?" Kompany stared at Joshua with wide eyes. "Are you kidding me?" (To be continued...)
