Chapter 358
Jin Cheng stood at the door like a sculpture. Facing the uniform gazes of the crowd, he did not feel uncomfortable or embarrassed at all. After all, as the only person at the pinnacle of power in the North Sea Forest, he possessed great power. Over time, he had long been accustomed to being watched by the public. In a moment, several officials who were good at observing people's expressions and were smart and intelligent came forward like pugs, or greeted with a smile on their faces: "My Lord Viscount! Are you in good health? Have you recovered properly?" Someone else hurriedly explained: "Lord Laurent specifically instructed that you were exhausted from the journey and urgently needed to rest, so the specific time of this meeting was not informed of you!" "My Lord Viscount..." The others also echoed. "The Territory Conference is a matter of vital importance! As long as I am in this territory, you must notify all relevant information in place!
Do you understand? I will never allow such a situation to happen again!"
Jin Cheng's eyes swept across the officials standing by the territory frame, shouldering the important task of passing on information, but he did not blame them too much.
In fact, for Jin Cheng, these things are insignificant, but sometimes he may not personally participate, but he will never tolerate someone deliberately concealing it.
I can not come, but you can't not say it.
To be fair, since he did not stay in the territory for a long time, Jin Cheng's impression of most people here only stayed on their appearance, names, and the work they were responsible for.
"Ah! I understand!"
The official named Kunkuya, who was the first to flatter and greet him in the crowd, wearing a Demacia-style upright official uniform and responsible for various meetings and message delivery, trembled all over after hearing this.
In fact, he wanted to inform Jincheng, but the Viscount was resting at home.
Logically, in this situation, everyone and the meeting should wait for Jincheng to rest before holding the meeting.
As a noble, it is reasonable for everyone to wait for Jincheng.
But Fiona made the meeting go ahead as soon as she said it.
It is impossible for Kunkuya to explain the matter so clearly, and it is impossible to push it onto Fiona.
Whether it is the Viscount or the Viscountess, neither of them can afford to offend him.
"Okay! Let the meeting continue! Don't worry about me!"
Jincheng waved his hand calmly, and then cast his eyes to the front of the meeting seat.
There was a striking [Viscount] sign on the conference table, but Fiona, who was sitting in this position, had a distracted look and did not look at Jincheng at all.
At this moment, everyone present was full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Obviously, with the return of the caravan, some of Jincheng's special identities gradually surfaced.
As a person from Freljord and a Demacia Viscount, Jincheng's presence made some traditional Demacians quite worried.
The door of the conference room was slowly closed by the two guards, and Jincheng took the opportunity to walk towards Fiona.
He came to Fiona's side and stared quietly at the woman who closed her eyes and seemed to be immersed in her own world.
Although Fiona did not move, and did not even intend to get up, Jincheng did not get angry, but sat down next to her naturally.
"Are you still sulking?"
Jincheng lowered his voice and asked gently. His voice was so soft that it seemed that only the two of them could hear it, revealing a kind of concern and helplessness.
Fiona clenched her fists tightly, her nails deeply embedded in her palms. She tried to control her emotions, but her eyes still flashed with anger and disappointment.
She always raised her head, avoided looking at him, and kept her lips tightly closed, as if she didn't care about anything.
Jin Cheng silently watched Fiona, noticing that her favorability had not decreased at all because of what he said.
He sighed helplessly and decided not to say anything more.
At this time, the atmosphere in the meeting room was tense, and everyone's eyes met the territory's treasurer who was in charge of economic affairs.
When he saw Jin Cheng walking into the meeting room, a smug look immediately appeared on his face, as if he had found a strong backer.
The treasurer cleared his throat and his voice suddenly rose eight degrees:
"Everyone, we are facing many challenges now, and we need financial support everywhere!
Whether it is military, people's livelihood or territory development, which one can be separated from money?
However, the lord has a far-sighted vision and resolutely opened up a brand new trade route!
What did this bring us? A large number of sophisticated military equipment, various precious mineral deposits worth a fortune, and a steady stream of strong labor.
ThatThe so-called business road is actually the broad road that leads our territory to rapid development..."
While giving an impassioned speech, the treasurer flipped through the manuscript in his hand and incorporated his personal views into it.
As a financial official, he didn't care about the so-called political stance or national differences.
For him, the most important thing is how to make money and promote the prosperity of the territory's economy.
As long as this goal can be achieved, no matter where the money comes from, he will do his best.
As he was speaking, the treasurer glanced at the man with a slightly disdainful look. A group of people with different political views who were worried and even openly clamoring because they were worried that the Freljord people's large-scale entry into the North Sea Forest would bring ecological and security risks to the territory.
Back then, this group of people were jumping up and down and arguing!
But what about now?
When the Viscount came, they were like ducks with their necks strangled, and they didn't even dare to fart!
At this time, the treasurer noticed that Jincheng was nodding to him frequently, as if he deeply agreed with what he said.
This discovery was like a shot of adrenaline, making him more excited.
