RNP Chapter 518 You are hiding something from me, right?
Chapter 518 You are hiding something from me, right?
"You know, this is the first time I sign a business cooperation contract, so I want you to see if there are any pitfalls."
Beichen spread his hands and spoke.
"Oh, about that. Actually, I don't know much about this. After all, the endorsement contracts nowadays are quite different from those we had back then. If that person is here, he can probably help you take a look."
Martin shook his head. After so many years, he no longer paid much attention to such matters.
"That one?"
Beichen asked with some confusion, could it be Mainna?
As a top worker, he does know a lot about contracts, but getting him to help you is harder than climbing a mountain.
"Uncle Martin, do you mean Aunt Zofia? Well...she does know a lot about this."
So you were talking about Zofia. That's right, with her ability to make it to the special championships and her good looks, she must have received a lot of endorsements for various products, otherwise she wouldn't be so rich.
"By the way, it seems like Zofia hasn't been here for a long time, but you, girl, come here whenever you have time."
Martin looked at Maria and spoke.
"Hehe, I don't really know what Aunt Zofia is doing recently, but I must keep what I'm going to do a secret from her, right?"
At least for now, Zofia has not discovered that Maria is going to participate in the knight competition.
"By the way, there seems to be some new progress with Corvo. He said that the workshop has introduced a batch of new machines. Your armor and weapons may be made a few days earlier."
Terra technology is so terrifying. Did they use forging acceleration coupons?
"Really? That means I can also participate in the knight competition in a few days! Great!"
Before Maria could finish her joy, the door of the bar was pushed open again, and then the sound of heels hitting the floor came from far away.
"That doesn't mean I can............."
"Hmm! Cough, cough, cough!"
Maria was interrupted by a rapid cough before she could finish her words. She raised her head with some confusion and met the gazes of Martin and Beichen directly.
The two of them kept exchanging glances, as if reminding Maria of something.
"Hey, Uncle Martin, Beichen, what are you two doing............"
Maria was still a little confused and didn't know what the two of them wanted to express.
It wasn't until she heard someone's voice behind her that she reacted.
"Maria, what are you so happy about?"
"Alas!"
When Maria heard this, her body suddenly shrank and the expression on her face changed immediately.
That’s right, the person who just came in was Zofia. She was standing behind Maria with her hands on her hips, looking at her with a smile on her face.
Normally, Maria would only think that this smile was full of kindness, but now she only felt that it was full of malice.
"Ah, Sister Zofia, it's nothing, nothing, we were just chatting."
Maria explained hurriedly, waving her hands.
Wow, the address has changed directly. Just now she was calling her Aunt Zofia, but now it becomes Sister Zofia.
"really?"
Zofia looked at Maria with suspicion, and the latter was so stared at by her that she didn't dare to look up.
Hey! This is too obvious, Maria. It looks suspicious no matter how you look at it!
This child has been unable to hide anything since he was young, and everything that happened is written on his face.
"Really, really, we were just chatting."
Maria didn't pursue the matter any further. After all, Maria was already that old, and it was normal for her to have some little secrets in her heart.
Besides, she has such a pure mind, how could she be hiding something from me? It is impossible that she secretly went to participate in the knight competition.
"Zofia, why did you think of meeting us old men today?"
Martin asked with a smile. Of course, his main purpose was to help Maria out of the predicament. If he continued to be asked by Zofia, he would definitely be exposed.
"Uncle Martin, I came here today to talk to Master Koval about something. Is he here?"
Sofia asked, looking around at the same time. She did not see Koval, but her gaze stayed on Beichen's face for a while, as if she recognized him and was slightly surprised.
"You mean Corvo? He's still busy in his workshop."
"Thank you very much. I forgot to take back the weapon I gave him to help maintain. I think he should still be in the workshop now."
As she spoke, Zofia walked towards the exit.
No, wouldn't she be exposed as soon as she went to Koval's workshop? Even if Koval didn't say a word, the other big mouths like Martin in the workshop would still know about it. Although they wouldn't spread it to others, if Zofia asked about it, it would be all over.
We have to stop Zofia!
"Ah...Zofia, actually, Corvo has taken on a big job recently. I guess he has locked the door of his workshop and is concentrating on forging alone."
Martin immediately started to make up far-fetched excuses.
"Big job? Oh, yes, yes, I just asked him to make me a brand new set of armor, and I'm in a hurry to use it. I guess he's probably busy with it now."
Beichen also took over the conversation and spoke.
"Yes, yes, Sister Zofia, otherwise don't go to see Master Koval tonight. He is probably busy working overtime now."
Maria couldn't stop nodding, and the three of them sang in unison, which actually frightened Sofia.
But how could Sofia not realize that these people were hiding something from her, she just didn't expose it on the spot.
However, she didn't intend to delve into it further now, so she shrugged and spoke.
"Is that so? Then I'll go find him when he's free. I don't need that thing recently anyway."
After hearing what Sofia said, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether Sofia could hear anything wrong or not, at least nothing happened now.
If she were let go to Koval's workshop, she would probably come back angrily in less than half an hour to question Maria.
After Zofia finished speaking, no one suddenly spoke, and an awkward atmosphere began to spread among the four of them.
In the end, it was Sofia who couldn't help but speak first.
"I say, Maria, Uncle Martin, and this one, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the independent knight Beichen, the one who won second place in the shooting competition today. Are you hiding something from me?"
Sofia's sharp eyes swept across the faces of the three people, and even Beichen couldn't help swallowing.
Oh no, something is not going to happen now.
