Smart women are attractive and can make men who are teased sometimes not annoyed.

Diana Heim is one such woman.

Li Lin looked at the nun in front of him with great interest, there was still a childish nun on her face, even if it was evaluated from his point of view, this was a beautiful face.

The beauty of sexy and mature is certainly attractive to men, but the residual childish appearance and body that is easy to push down can also arouse men's desire to conquer. In fact, a childlike face can stimulate a man's pituitary gland to secrete hormones and endorphins more than maturity, as long as it is pushed a little more - like a prostitute whispering softly in the man's ear, looking at each other with a girlish and pitiful gaze, revealing a delicate body that trembles slightly. Men will immediately abandon what little reason they have, ravage the body of a virgin like snow, and leave their mark on the snowy fields where no one has ever set foot on them, from which they derive the ultimate pleasure of conquest.

If it was just such a woman, then Roland could handle it casually, but now the woman in front of her did not use a beauty trick, but weaved a trap according to the other party's rules, and unconsciously reversed the comparison between the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides of the negotiation.

is quite a shrewd woman, as for whether she is a good woman or not, Li Lin can't tell the difference, and he has no intention of exploring it.

"Sister Diana, I want to confirm that the Church intends for my company to take over the security of the disarmament negotiations, right?"

"Yes. ”

Diana nodded, without any hesitation.

Unlike Roland's then, his smile is still elegant and dignified, but he can no longer see that he is naughty and at ease. In front of Li Lin, who knows all the overall situation and details, she knows very well that playing smart is self-inflicted.

Instead of beating around the bush. It's better to create opportunities for opponents than to get straight to the point. That's what she judges, and that's what she does.

"I'm really flattered...... I was really surprised when I heard about this business from Roland. ”

At first glance, anyone would think that this hiring requirement is a joke, a low-level, crazy mistake.

What is the difference between asking a ghost to get a prescription and a weasel to guard the chicken coop? The assassins will probably go crazy laughing because the mission suddenly becomes uneasy.

Is that really the case? The Holy See would be so stupid? If there is no doubt about this, if you believe it, you should really have a brain doctor to check whether the brain is open or not.

Once this commission is accepted, V.E is solely responsible for the personal safety of the negotiator. During the talks. In case something goes wrong with the deputies. Even if it wasn't done by V.E itself, the public would be skeptical that it was a play directed and performed by V.E, and all sorts of conspiracy theories would be prevalent. The company's image and credibility are ruined, and it will take a lot of time and energy to restore it. During this period. There is no guarantee that the Holy See will push countries to initiate anti-monopoly laws. Let's beat up the water dogs. Judging by the usual temperament of the Holy See. The odds of this happening can be concluded to be 100%.

(It seems that there is a lot of strategic planning, which is really worthy of the Holy See, and the experience in this kind of thing is quite old-fashioned.) )

Li Lin left a comment on the thinking loop. Still a serious and stern answer:

"Since Ms. Diana has come to visit in person, it is naturally incumbent upon her. But, Ms. Diana, freedom is not without a price, and so is security, you know?"

"This ...... Of course. ”

A little surprised by Li Lin's hearty promise, Diana didn't come back to her senses for a while, and understood that it was a euphemism of "How much money do you pay?", she nodded busily and straightened her back.

"He instructed the Finance Bureau to pay 30,000 florin gold coins for the escort operation. ”

With a soft "oh", Li Lin's fingers tapped on the desk.

The Holy See, which has always been known for its miserliness, actually took out such a "huge sum" in one go, which is really a stumbling eye, but there is a huge gap between this offer and Li Lin's estimate.

Too little.

A foreign minister, a potential future prime minister, their important mission - these are not equal to 30,000 florins.

"I'm ashamed of the generosity of the Tsuba. ”

Taking the opportunity to fight back sarcastically at the church, Li Lin continued to tap on the table rhythmically and began to bargain.

"Only, Madam Diana, you must understand that given the cost of secrecy, security, and the risk of our company taking on the failure of the mission...... I am afraid that it will be difficult to balance the balance of income and expenditure. ”

Diana listened quietly, without refuting or affirming. She knew very well that 30,000 florins and empty preaching were a little more difficult to convince the fox in front of her. If possible, she also hopes to increase the amount paid, so that when Li Lin forcibly refuses to commission, the church can avoid the accusation of "underbidding", and successfully occupy the moral high ground and pour dirty water on V.E. But the reality is that she was not authorized to do so, and the amount of the payment was locked in before the negotiations began.

The current Holy See is not as well-off as it used to be, and since the beginning of the previous years, the tax situation of the Church has plummeted as more and more peasants have moved into the factories to work, and by the end of last year it had even had to ask the kings for financial assistance to renovate the main temple. This was something that was simply unthinkable in the past.

Therefore, the Holy See could only pay 30,000 florins, and if it asked for more, it would have to raise funds by selling a large amount of paper such as "indulgences" and "confessions", as some poor and crazy cardinals kept clamoring.

In the face of such an embarrassment, it is no wonder that the church can't wait to suppress V.E. In addition to saving prestige and face, there are also considerable economic factors.

"I can understand your difficulty, but we can only pay 30,000 florins, and nothing more. ”

Diana secretly clenched her fists, it was obvious that Li Lin planned to use "insufficient payment" as a breakthrough to crack the layout of the church in one go. But the Church had been prepared for this, and since the morning, the clergy of the church in Lüdes have been telling the faithful, consciously or unconsciously, that "V.E will guarantee the security of the disarmament negotiations" and that "V.E will be directly involved in the negotiations". I'm afraid that it won't be until noon, and the whole city of Lüdes will know this news, and it will be difficult for Li Lin to ride a tiger.

He had no choice but to honestly jump into the pit that the church had dug.

"Yes, I'm well aware that the church has been having some difficulties lately. However, Sister Diana, I personally believe that the Charlemagne government and the Albion authorities should also bear part of the responsibility for the security of the conference, after all, a peace agreement is also what the two countries want to see. ”

Diana, who was a little confused by her leaping thoughts, sat on the couch, her heart throbbing violently for almost nothing. We made assumptions in advance and formulated multiple countermeasures. But Diana never thought that there would still be such a solution as zài.

So, the secretary's nun, with a somewhat stiff expression, nodded her head and replied in the calmest tone possible:

"I understand, I will do my best to give you an answer, Mr. Li Lin. ”

Li Lin, who was on the other side of the desk, put on a smile and said in a tone that didn't matter to himself:

"I'm waiting for good news from you, ma'am. (To be continued......)
