Chapter 453: Uninvited Guest
This is how the busy spring has come to an end. In this spring, Lu Xi opened a new chamber of commerce, ready to do a high-level energy business that can be profitable at a glance, to put it bluntly, lighting facilities, and an arsenal to prepare for blood, but it is very the same as a high-level arms business that is very profitable when you hear it. In addition, the envisioned new technology chaebol across the world, that is, the future Baidao big boss organization, has also begun to take shape.
Lu Xi said that he is still so organized and capable of action in a dead house, and he must also be a fighter in a dead house. In order to treat yourself, you can spend the next month in the leisure rhythm of reading novels and playing table and card games.
It's a pity that every time Lu Xi decides to take a break, someone always comes to the door with busyness.
In late April of that year, Lushi welcomed some "interesting" visitors to the halls of Orucello's castle. In the absence of Orucello, Lu Xi, as his heir, will naturally have to take on the responsibilities of the master.
At the head was a middle-aged man dressed in elaborate clothes, with purple hair and purple eyes, who looked like he was from the famous Violet family. If you look closely, this middle-aged man has some similarities with the seaweed father of the seaweed head family, but there is an obvious kind smile in his eyebrows and facial features, compared to the seaweed father who seems to be a high-ranking person, the uncle in front of him is more like a good-tempered scholar or a businessman who makes money.
"Is the contemptible Iman? Wielambat, like you, and fellow travelers of the Scholarly Alliance in pursuit of the arcane truth, can you meet Lu Xi? An outstanding young man like Belencaster is a pillar of the future Alliance and the Federation. It's really my pleasure. β
"You're so kind." Lu hoped for this kind and "kind" uncle, a low-profile uncle whose strength had obviously reached the 6th order of gold, but he was still so high-profile. Suddenly, there was a feeling of sympathy for the same kind and "opponents", and at the moment he also showed a very amiable business smile. He replied with a smile: "The distinguished guest came, but he did not open the door to greet him, as long as you don't care about my rudeness." Wielambat, though? Lu Xi seemed to have just remembered something, and showed a surprised look on the spot: "I don't know what you should call Home Secretary Turner?" Lord Wilambart? β
"It's my brother." Named Iman? The members of the Seaweed Head family of Viran Baatar did not hide his identity at all, and replied very cheerfully: "My brother is a very enterprising person, and he is already in a high position, but I really have no interest in officialdom, so I am only doing some ordinary work in the Central Personnel Department of the Alliance. It also depends on how many qualifications I have, and I have been offered the position of assistant director. This time, it is divided into two parts: official and private......"
yes, what an ordinary assistant director! Ordinary to the point of letting the magistrate of Moore County accompany him as a horse boy throughout the whole process. Lu Xi looked at the person sitting at the bottom of his left hand, it was an uncle with a big belly and a fat brain, both his appearance and temperament were very inconsistent with his aesthetic sense, and his face was full of flattering smiles, which looked extremely vulgar. This guy is not a member of the Knowledge Alliance, but he can get into the position of the county magistrate, and it is estimated that it has taken a lot of thought to specialize in dotting, so he will naturally think about scraping the ground and earning it back. So. It's not surprising that people look like this.
Really, it has lowered the tone of the whole castle. Lu Xi pursed his lips angrily.
"Hehe, I'm sure you came all the way to such a remote place just to talk to me. So, let's talk about business first. Lu Xi said to Aemon. Well. Since this uncle is the younger brother of Seaweed Daddy, the uncle of Seaweed Head and Seaweed Sister, he will be nicknamed Uncle Seaweed.
"On the business side. That was a great event, of course. First of all, congratulations on officially becoming a Lieutenant Commander of the Federal Navy of Natya. Throughout the 500-year history of the Union army, figures who became majors before the age of 20 were made. But you can count it on two hands. Later, all of them became great names in the whole country. Uncle Seaweed still maintained a proper and very friendly smile, and then took a very delicate velvet box from his attachΓ©, and opened it, and inside were the armband and collar badge with a silver and red-edged iris pattern, which were the rank of the lieutenant of the Federal Navy.
According to common sense, a federal officer who is promoted to military rank must be present at the same time as his immediate supervisor and the officer and personnel minister of the unit at the next higher level. At that time, there should be a simple ceremony or ceremony, and the officer should stand by the flag, wait for the commander to replace the old ones with new epaulettes, and then salute and shake hands.
However, Lu Xi, who has become a reserve, does not have a direct boss, and he is not ready to hold a ceremony for a small promotion. Of course, the person who came was not a personnel official within the army, but a senior bureaucrat directly from the Central Committee of the Alliance, and it was estimated that he did not have much interest in this kind of face-saving work, so he picked up the second box in front of Lu Xi.
The box was much larger than the previous one, and the workmanship and appearance were more ornate and ornate, and inside was a sky blue and cyan ribbon, hung in the shape of a white gold six-pointed star, and the center was inlaid with several medals and medals embellished with rubies. The size of this medal is not big, only half the size of a palm, but the workmanship is indeed very exquisite, and the hollow design in the shape of a six-pointed star is even more ingenious and artistic, although Lu Xi always feels that the reason for this design is actually to save material costs.
"This is the so-called Order of the Ruby Hexagram, right?"
"Yes, in the system of the Federation, second only to the Order of the Blue Sky. Of course, it is also the highest level of military merit, because the blue sky can be awarded to civilians. In the past history, those who have won such honors are all Federation heroes who have made immortal achievements, and Lu Xi? Berencaster is still so young, and I'm really curious how much you will grow in the future. Uncle Seaweed said with a smile.
He finally pulled out another box. The box looked the most inconspicuous, with only a three-star side-by-side badge and a sturdy-looking scroll.
"Congratulations. Lu Xi? Major Berencaster was promoted to a three-star outstanding magician at the age of 20...... In the thousands of years of history of the Alliance, even within the Wizards' Federation, the predecessor of the Alliance, it was only within a hundred. It seems that Lao Yu is very honored to be a person who witnesses history. β
Yes, speaking of which, this is what I am most satisfied with with these three boxes. Because the three-star magician is much more tax-free every year, he has obtained some privileges, and more importantly, the annual allowance will be much more.
Of course, if you wait until your own transnational arms enterprises and transnational guidance science and technology organizations are built, you should be completely blind to a few hundred meters a year, but in any case, at least for now, the above organizations with the atmosphere of the boss have not yet been established, and the places where you will spend money in the future will definitely go to the sea. The so-called mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is, and the small money sent to the door, Qian Luxi, has no reason not to eat it.
"That should be your main business, right?" Lu Xi took the heraldic box and certificate that symbolized that he had become a three-star great magician, and asked with a smile: "I wondered just now, when the Central Personnel Department of the Alliance will even be in charge of officer promotions and medal awards. β
"Since they are all to be issued to one person, there is no need to let the personnel department of the army and the honorary general affairs department of the congress each send one person to make a trip, which is not only a waste of time but also a waste of manpower, and now the country is not rich, and it is estimated that the major does not want to see so many people, right? So it's up to me to do it all at once. Uncle Seaweed shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Oh, if it's just the above business, I think it's a real waste of manpower to let a big man like you make a trip yourself." Lu Xi showed a playful smile: "So, can you tell me about your private affairs?" β
Uncle Seaweed smiled disapprerovingly, his expression became more and more kind, and he looked at Lu Xi's eyes with just a little more **, a little bit of scrutiny, and finally turned into complete satisfaction and appreciation: "Private matters are naturally great joys." However, in terms of etiquette, young master, I can't talk to you directly, but I have to meet your teacher Orucello? Only Master Berencaster can. β
"There's no way around it...... I also told you, the family teacher goes out to travel, more than a year and a half, or less three or five months to come back! Lu Xi spread his hand. He swore to God that although he liked to fool, this time he was really telling the truth from the bottom and bottom of the natural.
"yes, what a pity!" Uncle Seaweed also sighed, indeed showing a very helpless look, as for how many times there are true or false, I don't know.
"Can't I pass it on to my tutor? If it's urgent, I can find a way to relay it to him. Lu Xi asked.
"I can only say that whether it is from the perspective of etiquette or reason, you are not suitable for watching for the time being." Uncle Seaweed still shook his head and solemnly refused. He stood up and took out a well-designed envelope from his arms, the seal was still glued with ink, and it was also pressed according to the coat of arms of the Violet family, which seemed to be a letter written by the head of the Seaweed family.
"Then I can only ask Mr. Deacon, that you must give your brother's handwritten letter to Master Orucello." Uncle Seaweed bent forward slightly, holding the letter in both hands and handing it to the elf old butler Kamcha who was standing behind Lu Xi as a companion, both the etiquette and the movements were perfect to the point of almost textbooks.
