As the Christmas holiday gets closer and closer, the relationship between Zhang Cheng and Elizabeth also warms up rapidly, even to the point of cohabitation.

However, in order to ensure that they could absorb enough magical energy to the maximum on the first night, both of them were very restrained, and never broke through the last line of defense, but except for the last step, everything that could be done was done.

Because the power in the witch's bloodline is easily affected by the gravitational pull of the moon, it is best to complete the transformation from maiden to woman during the full moon.

In addition, Elsa has returned to Catherine's Kiss Restaurant and continues to work as a bartender in a speakeasy as a temporary administrator, responsible for maintaining the basic order and taxes of the territory until the new lord takes office.

The salary is also good, with a surface income of more than $8,000 a month, and $10,000 in cash for extra money.

It is only the end of 2003, and the United States is still enjoying the unprecedented prosperity brought about by the collapse of the Soviet Union, the only superpower.

Although the 911 attacks cast a shadow over the superpower's future, the dollar is still the world's only settlement currency, and its purchasing power is by no means the state of severe inflation it was a decade later.

Aisha is very happy with the job, and she can talk face-to-face with vampires, werewolves, elves, goblins, and other aliens that only appear in fairy tales and folklore.

As for safety, she didn't care at all, and it couldn't be worse than the black neighborhood she lived in before.

Despite the unimaginable suffering and torture in childhood, this pair of young sisters who are not related by blood still embarked on a good path in life, did not degenerate into a street girl who made a living by selling **, nor did they indulge in hallucinogens to anesthetize themselves all day long.

Just when Zhang Cheng began to gradually get used to enjoying this ordinary life, a phone call disrupted the peace.

It was none other than a titular "mother" who called.

The content is also very simple, go to the company's annual meeting, and celebrate the huge benefits generated by the two new products that are put into the market.

Since the harvest of the first batch of artificially planted Ningshen flowers, the ambitious Zhang Zhi immediately ordered the company's R&D department to make a brewed drink and a skin cream in less than three days.

After drinking the former, it can not only soothe emotions and make people quickly fall into deep sleep, but also relieve depression, reduce blood pressure and blood lipids, and the effect is very obvious, which is by no means comparable to those health care products that sell dog heads.

As for the latter, it has a stronger repair effect than any other skin cream on the market, whether it is scars, dark spots, or acne, as long as you apply it for three to four days, it will disappear completely, allowing the skin to temporarily return to its youthful state.

Due to a certain amount of advertising in advance, the above two products have only been on sale for a month and a half, and there is a serious out-of-stock.

It is estimated that when she asked to meet this time, she wanted to talk about expanding the number of plantings.

After all, the patent for this magical white flower is still in the hands of a biological laboratory called "Star Light", but this laboratory has never really existed.

Even the name of the other partner on the contract is fake, and his real identity is a shapeshifter from the underworld, who returns directly to the primitive tribes of Africa after completing the work.

In desperation, Zhang Cheng had no choice but to change into an expensive handmade suit, leave home three days before Christmas Eve, and drive a sports car to the annual meeting alone.

As soon as she pushed the car door, Maggie, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately took two steps forward and said with a straight face: "Sir, please come with me, the boss is waiting for you inside." ”

"Okay. ”

Zhang Cheng didn't care about the bad attitude of this "ex-girlfriend", and nodded with a smile.

Maggie wore a black low-cut backless evening dress today, with a pair of ten-centimeter high heels on her feet, the whole person looked bright, and two slender thighs wrapped in black stockings disappeared with the skirt, attracting the hot eyes of countless men as soon as she entered the hall.

But it's a pity that they can only get over at best, and they don't dare to make further moves at all.

Because just last month, a cowardly guy tried to approach the company's recognized goddess, only to be discovered by the tyrant-like Zhang Zhi, who not only lost his job, but also "happened" to have a conflict with the gang members, broke two ribs, and is now living in the hospital, and it is estimated that the medical expenses alone can squeeze out what little savings he has left.

But anyone who is not a fool understands that Maggie, who does a good job, is not as simple as an ordinary female secretary at all, but is trained by the boss as a quasi-daughter-in-law, and may enter the board of directors in the future and become a CEO above 10,000 people under one person.

Whoever dares to hit her idea must be prepared to withstand the wrath and revenge of the boss.

Through the reading of the shallow thinking of the brain by the psychic ability, Zhang Cheng quickly realized how terrible this "mother's" desire to control was, and even arranged in advance what kind of wife the "son" would marry.

If it weren't for his impostor, I'm afraid that the guy with the same name and surname would have been controlled by his mother for the rest of his life.

Just when he secretly sympathized with this old man's miserable life, Zhang Zhi, who was talking to a white-haired old man, finally saw the young man and woman walking from a distance, and immediately introduced with a smile: "Mr. Barron, this is the son I just mentioned to you. How's that, he's not bad, right?"

"Hahahaha! A handsome young man indeed! Hello, young man, it is a pleasure to meet you. The old man took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.

"I'm glad to meet you, too, Mr. Barron. Zhang Cheng replied politely.

However, at the moment when the two of them touched their hands, he suddenly felt a faint magical energy coming from the other's palms.

There is no doubt that this old man is not an ordinary man, but a wizard with mysterious powers, and he is identifying himself in his own way.

Zhang Zhi, who was standing on the side, did not notice the abnormality at all, and continued to say with great interest: "Son, Mr. Barron is a top rich man from Austria, and the shares of major companies held under his name alone are worth 6.5 billion US dollars. One-third of our tranquilizing tea was bought by him. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he asked with a smile: "Oh? can you take the liberty of asking, what are you doing with so much tea?"

"Of course I drank it! You don't know how important that tea is to an old man like me! Just a small cup, as if the whole person had never been more peaceful and harmonious. If it weren't for your mother's insistence on selling the company, I would have wanted to buy it outright. Old Barron didn't hide his snooping on Ning Shenhua at all, and generously admitted it.

"......I see," Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

Through a brief conversation, he finally understood why a wizard would be interested in the Tranquility Flower.

The reason is simple, this small flower can keep the mood in a calm state, which is a great help for meditation......
