Nono from another world

Chapter 136

After staying on the second floor for half an hour, James suddenly felt very bored, so he put down the cup in his hand and prepared to go downstairs to have a look.At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the private room, followed by a knock on the door.

James immediately straightened his body, and Anxi, who was standing aside, was also slightly taken aback, but he quickly returned to normal and turned his gaze to James.Seeing James nodded to him, Anxi walked to the door of the room and gently opened the door.

A few middle-aged people came in from the door, three of them were wearing long black dresses at first, followed by four or five men in black casual clothes with alert expressions.

Seeing a few people, an imperceptible look of disappointment flashed in James' eyes, his body collapsed again, he leaned back on the chair, and said without looking back: "What's the matter with you guys coming to see me?" ?”

The three middle-aged people who came in to meet James were the patriarchs of the three big families in the west, Ron Tbili, Stephen and Voda.Ron Tbili was white and fat, and he always had a friendly smile on his face. At first glance, he looked like a shop owner, not the patriarch of a dignified family.But in fact, it was this shop owner who seemed harmless to humans and animals, who almost ruined the family who opposed him because of the management rights of a mine.

The three had been here for a long time, and they thought that James would meet them before the ball officially started, even if it was just a pretend greeting.

But what the three of them never expected was that James didn't seem to notice the three of them. After getting off the carriage and chatting with the three little girls, he went straight to the second floor and even talked to them. He just waved his hand casually to say hello, completely ignoring them!
This made the three self-esteemed family patriarchs very hurt, but after only experiencing a moment of anger, the three still managed to accommodate several investigators guarding the stairs and came to the private room where James was.

No way, this is not another city, let alone the imperial capital.In the west, the nobles have no privileges at all. If they want to eat, dress and live a good life, they must please the western branch that is in charge of the entire western mine!
So no matter how unwilling the three of them were, when they saw James at this time, they squeezed out a smile and said in a very polite tone: "If you excuse me, I hope that Deputy Minister James will not blame him."

"Speak directly." James turned his head and glanced at them, and said in a cold voice, "You didn't come here on purpose to tell me these things, did you?"

Tebili's face flickered slightly. Although he knew that James was not easy to talk, and he was mentally prepared accordingly, when James said that, he still felt uncomfortable.

However, this discomfort only lasted for two seconds, and Tbili smiled and said: "Deputy Minister James is quick to speak, so we don't go around in circles. We heard that the branch seems to be considering decentralizing the second mine in Xi'an District recently." Management, may I ask if this is the case?"

James nodded and said, "After the accident at the first mine, the branch didn't have that much energy to manage the second mine, so we had to find a way to hand over the mine to others."

After being affirmed by James, a smile suddenly appeared on Tebili's face.But he quickly calmed down, and asked as calmly as possible: "Then I wonder if there is any consideration in the branch?"

"There is no consideration. Anyone who meets the conditions can apply. Funds and manpower are indispensable."

"In that case, what does the deputy minister think of our three families?" Tebili asked softly, trying to hide his excitement, but his slightly trembling voice still betrayed him.

James did not reply immediately, but looked up and glanced at the three people, and then slowly spit out two words from his mouth: "Stupid!"

Hearing this sentence, the three of them were taken aback at the same time, and then their faces flushed immediately, and their bodies kept shaking with anger.

madness? !
This man actually called them stupid in front of so many people? !He is just the deputy head of a branch, what qualifications does he have to insult nobles like them? !
As if he didn't see the expressions on the faces of the three people, James went on to say: "I said a long time ago that anyone who has the ability to apply can apply. But you three not only came to your door, but even In front of me, if you want to manage the mine, where did you put the rules of our branch? Where did you put the system that has maintained peace in the West for so many years?"

"If I promise you once, there will be a second and a third time. If this continues, I don't think you don't understand what the West will look like?" James sneered and stood up from his chair. Get up, and go straight past the three people towards the gate, as if unwilling to talk to them any more.

But after walking a few steps, James turned his head again, as if he hadn't had fun yet, and added another sentence: "That's why I say you are stupid. The west is not something nobles like you can intervene place……"

After leaving this sentence, James left without looking back, and the remaining three stood there, their faces turning green and pale, speechless for a long time.

"what!"

However, at this moment, there was a piercing scream from downstairs.

The three looked back subconsciously, and saw a figure flying up through the window of the private room, and then fell heavily on the ground in a very indecent posture, with nosebleeds all over their faces.

The expression on Tebili's face suddenly became very good-looking, both shocked and angry. After a full two seconds, he suddenly let out a scream: "My son!"

……

Go back in time a little bit.

At the same moment when Tbilisi led the other two families into the private room where James was, Nuonuo had not gone far with the plate, and Leno, who was still a little distracted just now, had already caught up and blocked him. In front of Nuonuo, he said in a bad tone: "Who the hell are you?! How could you avoid me?"

"Being stronger than you is naturally able to avoid it." Nuo Nuo gave Le Nuo a white look, and said silently in his heart.

But her attitude of disdain for nonsense has another meaning in Leno's eyes.At this moment, Leno even thought of another possibility, so his body trembled involuntarily, and he took a step back.

Nuonuo noticed Leno's abnormality, and couldn't help frowning. Just as he was about to say something, Ron Della, who had been supporting the woman in red, suddenly rushed in front of her at this moment, raised his right hand high, and made a gesture. As if he was going to hit her.

Nuonuo raised her eyebrows, this time she didn't back down again.

Nuonuo is not a proud and arrogant person, and she is also very aware of the troubles that conflicting with others on such occasions will bring to her, so she has been deliberately avoiding others to find fault.Only when the woman in red was about to grab something from her, she couldn't help but make a move, and she had no intention of continuing to pester her after that.

However, this does not mean that Nuonuo has such a good temper that he can give in again and again.If the other party insists on pestering her, she doesn't mind letting the other party try her skills.
