Rebecca praised.

"Why do I feel like you're making fun of me?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Locke began to teach Rebecca how to make paella, "Red iris is the soul of paella, don't forget it."

"I know, long-winded."

"Be polite to your master."

"..."

An hour later, Rebecca made authentic paella for the first time.

She smelled the seafood, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly,

"I did it! I did it! Perfectly recreate Roque Belmont's paella!!!!"

"Well, you did it, you're very talented."

Locke encouraged him with a smile. Rebecca was considered his first disciple, and she needed to be encouraged and deceived. The future cooking would be left to her.

"I finally did it! Rhaenys, did you see that? Now you can't stop me...well, never mind, I can't eat Locke Belmont."

Rebecca's thoughts suddenly became depressed.

Locke patted her shoulder and comforted,

"Don't be depressed. Although you can't eat me, you have learned my superb cooking skills. Come on, have a bite of the paella."

Locke scooped up a mouthful of paella with a crispy skin and put it into Rebecca's mouth.

Rebecca burst into tears instantly.

"Wow~ It's so delicious. I made it so delicious. It would be even more perfect if I could add Rock Belmont's soul to it."

"Ahem, your great master is by your side, please don't say it so openly."

Chapter 101, The Flame of Love

Rebecca put the paella on the table and waited for Hannah's inspection.

Hannah smelled the fragrant paella and showed an incredible expression.

"Rebecca, you did this?"

"Of course, I didn't do it, could it be you?"

Rebecca raised her head proudly.

Snapped--

Her proud head was patted, and she turned her head angrily to look at Locke, the instigator.

"Be polite to your elders."

Locke said.

"Locke, don't be so rough."

Hannah was very concerned about her brother's direct behavior and felt that he was not a gentleman enough. Rebecca said she was still a girl.

Rebecca snorted coldly. If she hadn't signed a slave blood contract with Locke, she wouldn't be able to harm Locke. If there wasn't a black cat in the house that was scarier than the devil, she would definitely let the siblings taste despair. Knowing that offending a great demon will cost you blood.

"This child needs a good education to be polite."

Locke said with a smile.

The black cat Erin was already sitting at the dining table. She glanced at Rebecca lightly.

Rebecca immediately became honest and respectfully handed a plate of paella to Black Cat, "Please use it slowly."

The black cat nodded slightly.

Hannah was confused.

Isn't this for me?

Looking at Hannah's confused eyes, Locke immediately explained,

"The only good thing about this child is that he likes small animals and is very friendly to cats. Don't mind, Xiao Ai is also a part of our family."

"All right."

Hannah sat down in her own seat, and Locke served her a side of paella.

Hannah picked up the spoon, took a sip, and her eyes lit up.

"It's so delicious, it's already six or seven points on the level of Locke."

Rebecca snorted disdainfully.

She doesn't want weak humans praising her.

The black cat Irene took a taste, licked her paws, and commented, "It can barely fit into the throat, and it still needs work."

Rebecca clenched her fists and nodded heavily, "I will continue to work hard!"

Locke once again saw clearly the devil's bullying character.

After several people finished dinner, Locke asked the maid Rebecca to wash the dishes while he, Hannah and Irene sat on the sofa and read the newspaper.

This time Irene did not drive the siblings away because the sofa here was spacious enough.

No one bothered her.

Hannah looked suspiciously at her cat, which was flipping the newspaper gracefully.

She rubbed her eyes, "Did I see it wrong, or did I not wake up?"

"Xiao Ai is a very smart cat. She must have been with us for too long and was influenced by us. She also started reading newspapers. Well, she must not be able to understand. After all, she is just a cat."

Locke comforts Hannah.

"But I think it seems to understand."

Hannah said seriously.

"No, she can't understand."

Locke said affirmatively, walked over, picked up Irene's newspaper, and reminded,

"How can a cat read a newspaper?"

Erin yawned, raised her tail, and went up the stairs.

"Locke, I think Xiao Ai can participate in the smart pet competition recently launched by Kosolk. It is said to be held by nobles."

Hannah suggested.

Locke shook his head, "Xiao Ai doesn't like competing with those dogs, so don't embarrass her."

"Okay, I'm just talking casually."

Hannah said with a smile and continued reading the newspaper.

Locke put down the newspaper and said, "Hannah, I need to go out."

"It's getting late, where are you going?"

"I made an appointment with my old classmate Lebua Riddle and Miss Lucy to discuss a project."

Locke put on his coat, a half-high silk top hat and a pocket watch, and finally took an umbrella that could replace a cane.

"I hope the snow outside can be lighter. Going out in this kind of weather is really not friendly to people."

Locke said and opened the door.

"Remember to come back early."

"Yeah, I will."

Locke took the tram and got off at the Trey Bridge station, then took a carriage across the bridge and came to the youth apartment in the Trey Bridge area, where he found his old classmate Lebua Riddle.

Lebua Riddle had received his first funds from Locke and hired a professional lawyer.

"This is attorney Riccardo Barbu of Frank Law Firm, and this is my partner Locke Belmont, who is also a shareholder in the bicycle company."

In the narrow apartment, Lebua Riddle briefly introduced the two of them.

Lawyer Riccardo Barbu was wearing a suit and leather shoes, a top hat and a silver cane. He also carried a briefcase that is a must-have for a gentleman. His black leather shoes were very brightly polished.

He has a thin face, a medium build, and an ordinary appearance, but he gives people a very serious feeling.

"Hello, lawyer Riccardo Barbu."

"Hello, Mr. Locke Belmont."

The two shook hands, and Lebua Riddle handed Locke the new contract drawn up by the lawyer.

"Look, this is the latest contract. If there are no problems, we can have a meeting with the new shareholders."

Locke nodded slightly and began to carefully review the terms of the contract.

Because of the joining of rich woman Lucy, the value of the original shares soared instantly.

This means that Locke’s original 450 silver grams can only be counted as start-up capital and cannot be used as a shareholding at all. However, in order to ensure the interests of him and the inventor Laibua Riddle, both Locke and Laibua Riddle are counted as Technology investment.

Locke holds 1 Riddle holds 16%, Lucy holds 60%, Miss Judith 2%, Lady Malvina 4%, and Miss Jennifer 2%.

Originally, Locke only planned to give Lucy 30% of the shares, so that the controlling rights would still be in the hands of him and Laibua Riddle, but considering that Lucy gave too much, it would be too much of a disadvantage for her to only hold 30%.

In addition, behind Lucy is the Baker Grain Company. Lucy has many personal connections. If she is not allowed to suffer, the future of the bicycle company will not be disadvantaged.

Locke temporarily asked Lebua Riddle to adjust the equity details, and the value of the original shares became 333 gold grams per share.

In addition, Locke provides product drawings, ideas and suggestions, as well as investment, Lebua Riddle is responsible for invention and manufacturing, and external lawyer Riccardo Babu is responsible for contracts and company legal affairs. Although Lucy is the largest shareholders, but do not participate in the operation, the company will distribute dividends at the end of each year.

Of course, if Lucy wants to participate in the operation, Locke has no objection. This can be discussed at the shareholders' meeting.

What Locke means is that the company will hire professionals to run the company, and they will not be given shares, only salaries and bonuses.

"I have no problem with the contract, Lebua Riddle, how about you?"

"I do not have either."

Lebua Riddle said with a smile.

He never thought he could get so much investment. Even if he only holds 16% of the shares now, it still seems like a dream to him.

"I must remind these two gentlemen that Miss Lucy, the largest shareholder, has the right to directly sell or transfer the company because she holds too many shares. If you have disagreements about the company's business, it will be very detrimental to you."

Attorney Riccardo Barbu reminded.

"It doesn't matter. When that time comes, we will also be able to get the money corresponding to the corresponding shares. I bet it will never be less than 333 golden grams per share. This is not a loss for us."

Locke said with a smile.

Moreover, he believed in Lucy's business acumen and she would never sell the bicycle company easily.

Lawyer Riccardo Barbu nodded slightly.

"In that case, it's no problem."

The three brought relevant documents, including contracts, bicycle design drafts and company documents.

They took a carriage and arrived at the Monroe Cafe in Wells. If the date had not been decided on the cafe, Locke would have suggested going directly to the tavern.

Because he now has some lingering feelings about coffee shops, he can’t help but think of Krista’s face when he sees the coffee.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the first shareholders' meeting of Bicycle Co., Ltd. was held in this coffee shop.

Miss Lucy and her friends Miss Judith, Mrs. Malvina, and Miss Jennifer all came to attend the meeting, and they also brought their own professional lawyers.

It was the first time for Lawyer Lebua Riddle and Riccardo Babu to see so many beautiful women, especially the blonde Lucy, who was the center of attention wherever she went.

Lawyer Riccardo Barbu behaves relatively calmly. His profession forces him not to be too excited at any time, which will lead to him making mistakes at work.

But the young inventor Lebua Riddle had become red-faced, at a loss, and was stumbling when speaking.

He didn't even dare to look into Lucy's eyes.

Of course, he didn't dare look at the other scantily clad upper-class women.

When Miss Judith saw Leib'a Riddle's embarrassed look, she immediately had the idea of ​​teasing him. She stretched out her long legs and hooked Leib'a Riddle's feet under the table, her expressions full of ambiguity. .
