At six o'clock in the evening, in the corner of the first floor restaurant on the Fumeng Pavilion, sitting opposite Ms. Anna, Zhao Cheng silently flipped the hotel report documents on the table.
...So, this is the specific situation of the Fumeng Hall now. Anna put down the coffee in her hand and looked at the new boss opposite her
I'm sorry... I can only hand over the hotel that has now fallen into this way to your hands, Mr. Zhao Cheng
Zhao Cheng raised his hand and waved it: No need to blame himself
He stopped Anna's apology and comforted him: You have tried your best, and I can sit here and take my grandfather's hotel now. This is entirely thanks to Miss Anna's efforts, right?
After Zhao Cheng's affirmation, Anna's face relaxed a lot, she shook her head
This is what I should do. Mr. Zhao Cheng, when the master was still there, the hotel was almost my home... I can't watch others try to steal Grandpa Zhao's property
As he said that, Anna recalled the deceased Mr. Zhao and lowered her head helplessly
…Thank you really, Anna
Zhao Cheng smiled and expressed his sincere thanks to the beautiful and kind lady in front of him.
Anna pushed her glasses, raised her head, and smiled back: You're welcome, sir
Zhao Cheng sighed in his heart
In general, everything is still a good thing for me at the moment. In the end, it has inherited the industry of a small hotel for nothing, and it is a business without any cost.
But the situation of this small hotel is indeed a little more complicated than he originally thought
The grandfather I had never met died at the end of last year, but it was not until June this year that Zhao Cheng received a notice of inheritance in Daxia Kingdom.
According to Anna, in more than half a year, this hot spring hotel called Fu Mengguan was almost occupied by the former manager and small shareholder.
Almost, these heritages have nothing to do with me on the other side of the ocean.
Zhao Cheng secretly thanked that it was thanks to the personal assistant of the grandfather in front of him who had difficulty mediating it.
Otherwise, he would never know for his whole life that he would have such a legacy to inherit in the South Austrian country in New Continent.
However, even though Ms. Anna finally successfully drove away the former manager who wanted to embezzle the hotel industry, the Fumeng Pavilion was still cut off a considerable amount of wealth before leaving.
The former manager's retaliation has severely hit the hotel's business, which also explains why Zhao Cheng saw the deserted scenery inside and outside the hotel during the day.
The originally prosperous business not only vanished during the shutdown of the original managers, but the source of customers that had been working with the hotel for many years was also deliberately cut off by the former manager.
So much so that Anna had to return all the maids who were in charge to the South Ao government for resale, and then raise the hotel's operating funds.
Zhao Cheng looked through the current list of employees. Even if Ms. Anna, who was in charge of management, operation and reception, has only a dozen people in Fumeng Pavilion, from security and fire maintenance, to back kitchens, and service staff.
In short, the small hotel he took over is now a handful of guests, which is why such a rare number of employees can continue to maintain operation.
If the land under my feet was not entirely owned by my grandfather, the Fu Meng Pavilion would have been closed long ago
Thank you for your hard work Ah
Looking up at the hard-working Ms. Anna in front of me, Zhao Cheng was a little moved. It was hard to imagine how the other party survived the blow and pressure during that period.
You know, even after her grandfather died, Miss Anna could still serve as a hotel manager under the former manager, and even as the client responsible for handling the estate, she could still get the money even if she divided the wealth with the former manager.
But this lady did not let down her grandfather's trust. Even though she fought to the death, she still insisted on handing over the ownership of the hotel to her true heirs. How could Zhao Cheng, who is not a relative or a good person, beneficiary, besides the biggest beneficiary, not grateful.
I've probably understood the situation of the hotel, but there is still a problem
Zhao Cheng said, picking up a personal information form
Regarding this Confessional People... Miss Anna, you also know that I came from the Kingdom of Daxia. Except in the Kingdom of Southern Ao, there is no such situation in any other country in the world. I just learned about your society on the Internet.
He looked at the documents in his hand. It was obviously just a few light paper texts, but he felt that the weight he grabbed in his hand seemed as heavy as gold.
What this means is that, except that she is not allowed to be taken away from the border of South Ao, as long as she is guaranteed to have the standard of living for the people stipulated by the current laws, Balabara... do I have personal ownership of this girl?
Anything you want to do?
To be honest, Zhao Chengzheng is in the world today...the only country that still retains slavery
Although the Ayr tribe enslaved by the South Ao Kingdom is not human, after all, humans do not have sharp ears and cannot live for thousands of years, such a barbaric rather than humane slavery policy towards another intelligent race is still criticized by various countries around the world.
This document represents his power to do whatever he wants recorded above, and the seemingly rules and regulations limits are actually very low in binding power.
Even in this legal document, the master's sexual behavior against the slave is clearly defined in the basic power between the lines.
Yes, Mr. Zhao Cheng, you can understand it so
Unfortunately, after the hotel experienced that storm, in order to continue to maintain the operating costs of Fu Meng Hall, I had to sell almost all the Al female slaves in the hotel. The contract you have in your hand is the last girl.
Anna's tone was a little low. She felt guilty for not being able to protect the master's property intact. You should know that those El-san servants are also a considerable amount of wealth. If the funding gap was not too tight, she would not have sold those slave servants who didn't even have to pay their wages.
The remaining child was just bought by the master last year. He is only about 300 years old. Her previous masters failed to teach her any skills. It was not cost-effective to sell her low income, so I still kept her and continue to be a maid.
As a native of the Southern Ao country, the other party treated the Als as a regular attitude as buying and selling goods. Even Zhao Cheng, who thought he was not a good person, felt a little uncomfortable.
...Anna, I didn't mean to blame you, but I never thought I would become a slave owner
Tickling his head, he turned to ask: Is it possible to give her freedom? If I had that intention, would it be illegal to release her?
Seeing Anna's uneasy eyes, Zhao Cheng quickly clarified: ...Don't get me wrong, it's not that I really want to do this, I just want to know the laws of Nan Ao Country here.
Anna sighed, lowered her head and shook the coffee cup in her hand helplessly, as if she was thinking about how to explain the situation of the South Austrian country to the new boss from abroad.
Unfortunately, Mr. Zhao Cheng, even if you want to be a liberator, even for the sake of this child's good, please don't try it easily...
You know, except for symbolic collars, we usually don’t set any restrictions on the Al. Theoretically, if the child wants to escape here, just leave along the hotel gate, and no one here will stop her.
...But the reality is that gaining such freedom is even more cruel to the current Ayers
Anna looks at Zhao Cheng: In Nanao, once any Al slave is found walking alone on the street without the company of his master, there are only two consequences
Either, they are seized by the police and returned to the welfare agency to find the owner, or resell them online; or they are taken home and re-occupied by the discoverer who has previously been found.
Anna continued to explain: I am not a cold-blooded woman. If the child could have a normal living environment, I would be happy to support you in releasing her choice, but if an Al didn't have a master, she would become an unowned property that is not protected by basic laws, which is a very dangerous state for her.
The Confessional people without a master do not have any personal safety and power of life in South Austria. It would be fine if they were just re-trafficked or picked up by ordinary families, but once she fell into the hands of some criminals or violent elements, the outcome would be really miserable.
Speaking of this, Anna remembered the previous news: The dangers in the outside world are not only the case for the Als. The unemployment rate in recent years has led to more and more people discriminating against the people with cheap employment costs. If Als were not too slow to learn and unable to perform senior positions, this extreme group might have expanded in the future.
...Uh, OK, I understand. Zhao Chengxin understands it
Indentured slaves do not need wages, dignity, and dare not resist anything they are done. They only need to ensure the most basic legal survival power. Such a cheap and affordable target of exploitation, it is self-evident how business owners in Nanao choose their own lower-level employees.
Therefore, the high unemployment rate undoubtedly creates some crazy people with resentment, and a bossless and wandering outside will become the most perfect target for these crazy people to vent.
Mr. Zhao Cheng, if you really sympathize with this child, please treat her kindly. Let her live a good life here is much safer than letting her fall into the hands of some irrational mobs. Even if you no longer want to have her, it is more reasonable to find another kind new master for her than to release her at will.
After learning about this situation, Zhao Cheng had to nodded, feeling a little shocked by the tragic situation of this race.
Anna suddenly looked behind Zhao Cheng
Lin, since you are here, come here soon and meet your new master. She called out to the place.
Zhao Cheng turned around in confusion
I saw a vase next to the wall at the corner of the restaurant. At some point, a black-haired girl with long hair tied into a bun that was convenient for movement was leaning out to look here.
That...new owner?...ok
The girl who was discovered had to walk out from behind the corner of the wall obediently
She came to Zhao Cheng, her fingers of her two little hands were crossed together uneasyly, and said obediently: Hello, I am your slave... I hope you can treat me better
...Is this my female slave?
Looking up and down at this Al girl named Lin, the concept of legal master and servant made Zhao Cheng interested. This is not a sex game he is playing
I and this girl named Lin are the real masters and slaves in the legal sense.
Speaking of which, except in New Continent, there are almost no Als in this world. Zhao Cheng has only seen this race on the Internet.
Although the girl in front of him looks like she is about fifteen or sixteen years old, the three hundred years old in black and white text on the document made him feel very confused.
Black hair, golden pupils, snow-white skin, beautiful appearance, slender and weak figure, cute maid bun tied on both sides of her head, paired with her maid uniform and her rushing eyes
If I didn't look at the girl's sharp ears, I wouldn't have thought that this girl was not a human
Such a cute girl who looks about the same age as her sister is actually a female slave who can let her do whatever she wants. He suddenly sighed inexplicably
...This South Ao Country is so evil
Yes, I like it
...Zhao Cheng has to admit that the most primitive and dirty desire in his heart is indeed vaguely happy
I don't feel guilty about this, Zhao Cheng has no moral sense
If he had, he wouldn't have incest with his own sister at the beginning
Appreciating his own female slave, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but reach out to touch the girl's little head. Lin's black hair felt cool and felt very good.
...I want to hold her tightly in my arms and put her hands on her
Resisting this impulse, Zhao Cheng withdrew his hand
Your name is Lin?
Well, yes, Master Lin couldn't help but lower her head and replied in a low voice
Don't have a last name?
In the past... the girl looked up and answered honestly: Later... I forgot that the name was also taken by the later owner.
Forgot Ah?...Okay
This wonderful answer reminded Zhao Cheng that although the other party was still a minor girl among the Als, he did live for nearly three centuries.
That's the time that spans the industrial revolution of mankind to the technological era
At least the girl in front of her, in her childhood two hundred and decades ago, the Als were probably not yet slaves to the Southern Austrian Kingdom. The first war between the New Continent colonies and the Als people started when this child was decades.
Thinking of the hundreds of years since the other party became a slave from freedom, even a person like Zhao Cheng couldn't help but feel a little instinctive pity.
No wonder the outside world criticized South Austria so much. The current situation of the Als is indeed sad.
...As your slave, you can ask Lin to call you in any way, Mr. Zhao Cheng, of course, according to convention, there is no problem calling you master
Ms. Anna reminded
Any name? Wouldn't that be fine like she used to be?
I'm afraid the requests of the master when he was alive are not suitable for you now, Mr. Zhao Cheng
Anna shook her head
Zhao Cheng was a little confused. Did the deceased grandfather ask any strange bad taste?
He looked at Lin in front of him and asked curiously: Lin, when my grandfather was alive, what did you call him... Didn't you call him the master?
Perhaps it was the gentle communication of soft voices that made the girl feel at ease
It is usually difficult for outsiders to see Zhao Cheng's nature from his sunny and handsome appearance.
Anyway, Lin relaxed
(The new owner looks like a good person) The girl thought so in her heart
...The previous master kept asking me to call him grandpa
Oh, so that's it
Zhao Cheng suddenly realized that this was indeed a name that could not be continued, unless he wanted to try his grandparents and grandchildren PLAY at a young age.
Then you call me...
Zhao Cheng gently rubbed the girl's head
Here, if he is the impotence-warming male protagonist similar to those of the old Asahi in Donghai anime, he might be called his brother
They had a common grandpa in the past. It seems natural to establish a gentle strategy route with such a title.
But it's a pity
Zhao Cheng is not that kind of egg man
He almost never wastes the opportunity to suppress his desire for women, especially when he can take advantage of such an advantageous position
With his fingers lifted Lin's chin, Zhao Cheng made such a happy decision
...Well, you can call my husband in the future.
……
...So, this is the specific situation of the Fumeng Hall now. Anna put down the coffee in her hand and looked at the new boss opposite her
I'm sorry... I can only hand over the hotel that has now fallen into this way to your hands, Mr. Zhao Cheng
Zhao Cheng raised his hand and waved it: No need to blame himself
