"Yes, Lord Bishop."
Sally obediently took two letters and left in a hurry.
After solving this matter, Xing Shan continued to deal with official duties.
At night, there was a sound of unfamiliar footsteps outside the office, but it stopped quickly, and it took a long time before there was a slight knock on the door.
"Come in."
Xing Shan shouted without raising his head.
Then the door of the office was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes with a kind smile came in. Xing Shan looked back and recognized him.
The patriarch of the Apocalypse family, Nicholas Apocalypse.
Compared with the patriarch of the family, he is more like a calculating strategist.
"Yo, what's the matter with Nicholas coming to see me so late?"
"Hehe, my lord, I'm really sorry to bother you so late."
Nicholas Apocalypse rubbed his hands with a smile, with a low profile appearance, which made Xing Shan quite satisfied.
This is the attitude one should have towards a bishop.
Instead of sending a letter to the bishop like some upper-class people, asking the bishop to visit him in person.
"Oh really? I'm really sorry, my environment here is poor and not suitable for business talks, or else I'll visit your house another day?"
As soon as Xing Shan said this, Nicholas Apocalypse was so frightened that his face was covered with cold sweat, and he waved his hands again and again.
"No, no, the place where you are is the realm of the gods. Isn't there a saying in the east? The mountains are not high or something."
"Really? That's fine, as long as you don't mind."
Xing Shan saw how flustered he was, so he didn't intend to continue playing tricks on this guy.
Seeing that Xing Shan let go, Nicholas Apocalypse breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Just when he was about to talk about business, suddenly there was another sound of footsteps outside the office door, which was much louder than the previous footsteps of Nicholas Apocalypse.
Boom boom boom!
There was a dull knock on the door, and Xing Shan casually said something to come in, and the office door was pushed open.
He saw a white-haired burly man walking in quickly with vigorous steps, but when he saw that Nicholas Apocalypse was also there, a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Nicholas Apocalypse couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw him.
"Francis Kaslana? What are you doing here?"
Francis Kaslana's eyes froze.
"none of your business!"
"You!" Nicholas Apocalypse was so angry that he wanted to reply a few words, but thinking that this was in the bishop's room, he could only snort coldly and turned his head away without speaking.
Xing Shan looked at Francis Kaslana with interest and asked, "Francis, what are you doing here?"
"I..." Francis held back for a long time, and finally said.
"Master Bishop, have you eaten yet?"
Chapter 202Chapter 190 Offer loyalty!
Nicholas couldn't help but secretly sneered when Francis asked such a question. As expected of the most famous idiot in the Kaslana family, he came to the bishop at night just to ask the bishop, have you eaten?
I was a little worried that Francis would affect my plan, but now it seems that my worries are unnecessary.
Xing Shan was also dumbfounded by this idiot's words, pointed at the pile of documents still on the table angrily and said, "Do you think I have time to eat?"
"That means you didn't eat?"
Francis was overjoyed when he heard the words, and rubbed his hands together like a thief: "Master Bishop, today, I got a batch of rare things from overseas. I asked the cook to make them and taste them. They are very delicious. Why don't the Bishop come with me to the house?" Taste it?"
Nicholas, who was still secretly laughing, suddenly turned blue. He thought Francis was in the underground layer, but he didn't expect him to be in the atmosphere!
How could it be possible to let the bishop spend time with him alone under the pretext of a banquet?
Nicholas immediately stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Master Bishop, the merchant ship of my Apocalypse family has also returned recently. Not only are there various fruits and vegetables on it, but even the best tea from the East is also brought back. Quite a few, why don't you go to my place and have a taste?"
When Francis saw this, his eyes widened immediately: "Nicolas, you actually copied me!"
Nicholas rolled his eyes at him, but didn't answer.
Just kidding, can such a thing as strategy be called plagiarism?This is called reference!
Francis wanted to curse a few more words, but Xing Shan slapped the table with an angry face.
"That's enough. You picked me to come here when I was dealing with official business, just to quarrel? Do you want me to persuade you to have a fight?"
Francis paused momentarily, and shook his head with a smile to deny: "No, no, bishop, you misunderstood. I came to you for something really important."
Nicholas nodded again and again, indicating that he also came here on important matters.
Only then did Xing Shan restrain his anger, but he still looked at the two of them coldly: "Then don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly."
Nicholas tidied up his appearance, and was about to discuss with Francis about letting him speak first, but unexpectedly, Nicholas took a step forward.
"My lord, the Kaslana family is willing to follow in your footsteps and benefit the world!"
Nicholas was so angry that his face turned livid, this guy didn't play his cards according to the routine!
How can there be such a direct rush to say?
Both of them are patriarchs of big families. At this time, shouldn't they uphold the gentleman's demeanor and make a few courtesies first before deciding who will speak?
Moreover, it doesn't matter if you are the first, how can you show your loyalty by coming up directly?
For this kind of thing, shouldn't the two sides bargain, seek some benefits from the bishop, and then express their willingness to contribute?
You just gave the bishop all your underwear like this, so how can he bargain next?
Francis, who is single-minded, doesn't care about these stupid people, he has his own ideas.
Now that you have the idea of standing in line, it is better to carry it through to the end. Bargaining when standing in line will undoubtedly reduce the other party's favor.
To stand in a team is to improve your position in the opponent's heart!This will lead to greater profits in the future.
Well, though his wife taught him these things.
"Oh?"
Xing Shan became interested, but he didn't expect the other party to surrender, so he turned to look at Nicholas again.
"You too?"
Nicholas' face was stiff. If he said no at this time, he would probably stand on the opposite side of the bishop in the future, but if he nodded, it would be difficult to continue bargaining.
This made Nicholas curse Francis a few more words in his heart.
But there was no way, Nicholas could only bite the bullet and nod to admit it.
【Facing the surrender of the two families, you decide...】
A. agree
B. Not to agree
C. Ask them what they can offer themselves
Xing Shan glanced at the options, then turned to the two people in front of him and asked with a smile, "So, what can you offer me?"
Is there any benefit when you come up?
This makes Nicholas a little depressed, but he also understands that this is normal. After all, if you come to surrender, the other party must see what help you can provide, right?
Francis stood up first, with a serious face.
"Bishop, I have a daughter named Kallen Kaslana, she looks beautiful and lovely, I see you are alone, Bishop, how about..."
Good guy, this is trying to be my Xing's father-in-law.
Xing Shan frowned: "How old is your daughter?"
Francis suddenly paused at this moment, hesitated for a while and said cautiously: "You are 15 years younger than Bishop."
"puff..."
Xing Shan almost spit out a mouthful of saliva, but Nicholas beside him couldn't help coughing violently.
This Francis' idea is very dangerous!
Nicholas cast a contemptuous look at Francis, and then stepped forward.
"My lord bishop, my Apocalypse family is willing to help you wholeheartedly in all aspects! And the three children in my family can also share the burden of official duties for you!"
Although he, Nicholas, has no daughter, he has a son!
Xing Shan immediately understood what Nicholas meant. He was worried that he would not feel at ease, so he gave his three sons to him as hostages.
Although Xing Shan didn't think that the three hostages could really guarantee that Nicholas would not betray, this attitude was very satisfying.
Seeing Xing Shan's satisfied expression, Francis became anxious. He only had one daughter, but he didn't have any sons who could be used as hostages. In desperation, he had no choice but to surrender.
"Me too!"
Xing Shan almost didn't hold back, but since the two of them had already made such a statement, he naturally agreed.
"Okay, I promise you, you two will go back today, and I will take time to go to your place in the next few days."
Nicholas and Francis were overjoyed when they heard the words, it was considered a success!
The bishop's visit meant that the bishop didn't intend to prostitute their family's resources for nothing, but to discuss the benefits he would give them in the future!
"Okay, okay, then the two of us will wait for the visit of the Bishop in the family!"
Nicholas and Francis left satisfied.
Xing Shan was also able to handle the remaining official duties.
[The next day, you decided to go to the Apocalypse family and the Kaslana family to discuss matters, but which one to go to first made you feel a bit difficult...]
A. First go to the Apocalypse family
B. Go to the Kaslana family first
These two options are irrelevant options, Xing Shan didn't get too entangled, and chose A directly.
After all, he was more interested in Otto's Apocalypse family than the Kaslana family.
Chapter 203 The two hundredth chapter is Otto!Baby Otto!
When Xing Shan came outside the gate of the Apocalypse family, he saw that there was already a young man waiting there with a servant.
Seeing Xing Shan's arrival, the young man immediately greeted him.
"Ferdinand Apocalypse, welcome to Bishop Xing Shan."
Xing Shan glanced at him: "Nicholas' son?"
Ferdinand nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am my father's first child."
"You knew I was coming?"
Xing Shan was a little puzzled, he didn't tell Nicholas when he would come.
Ferdinand replied with a smile: "Father said that the bishop will come back recently, so he asked us to wait here. Of course, the three of us took turns to come."
Xing Shan nodded, saying that after he knew it, he didn't say anything more.
"My lord, please come in."
Ferdinand welcomed Xing Shan in very enthusiastically, and when he came to the hall, he saw Nicholas and his second son Fabian waiting there.
After tidying up the folds of the clothing, Nicholas walked up with a smile on his face.
"Bishop Xing Shan, thank you for coming."
The Kaslana family was in the same area as his family, but Bishop Xing Shan didn't choose to go in when he passed by the door of the Kaslana family. Instead, he came to him first. Obviously, the bishop appreciated them more.
After Xing Shan just greeted him, he looked at Fabian and Ferdinand with some doubts.
"Don't you have three children? Why only two?"
