The story of the black silk female knight

But for ordinary people, it's already a huge sum of money. Based on the fact that 1 gold coin is roughly equivalent to 300 yuan in Valensa's previous life, it's already the down payment for a house.

This is just the beginning. Once those Chinese dishes become completely popular, it will no longer be a dream for Valensa to be able to return to her former life as a wealthy young lady without Tia's financial support.

Both parties were clearly very satisfied with the collaborative project, and then engaged in another round of mutual flattery.

Fat Ball King showered Valensa with compliments on her beauty and talent, while Valensa in turn praised the Nora Chamber of Commerce's efficient operations.

After a long string of pleasantries, Valensa casually revealed the true purpose of her visit to the Nora Chamber of Commerce:

"By the way, I've been having a little problem lately that's been bothering me quite a bit. I wonder if Mr. Jin could give me some advice?"

“Miss Valensa, please speak.”

Fat Ball Jin nodded very readily:

“You are an important partner of our chamber of commerce. We will definitely do our best to help you in any way we can.”

"It's nothing, actually."

Valensa then pointed to Lily of the Valley, who had been silent and pretending to be a doll:

"She's not just my friend, she's also my relative, but her identity... well, it involves the privacy of some of my elders, so it's not convenient for outsiders to know."

I have heard that your Chamber of Commerce owns many welfare institutions and takes in many children every year who have lost their families due to war or natural disasters, giving them new identities and lives.

Could you please grant Linglan a similar new identity? We would be extremely grateful.

"It was just such a small thing... very simple."

Fat Ball Jin smiled confidently:

"Have this lady fill out a form later, indicating the new identity information she wants. I'll also let my colleagues in the charity relief department know... It will take three days at the earliest, and six or seven days at the latest, for her new identity to be finalized."

Miss Valensa can rest assured that our Nora Chamber of Commerce is professional. This young lady's new identity will not only have complete documentation, but will also have a 'real' resume of being adopted as a child.

To be honest, we've helped many friends with this kind of thing, so we're quite experienced.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Jin."

Valensa breathed a sigh of relief, looking as if her worries had finally been resolved. She thanked Fat Ball King again and prepared to take her leave.

However, before she could speak, there was a knock on the office door, and before Fat Ball Jin could answer, someone pushed the door open and entered.

A beautiful maid wearing a low-cut short skirt and black stockings.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Valensa Bader?"

The maid bowed respectfully to Valensa and gestured for her to proceed.

"My young lady requests that you come in for a chat."

Chapter 114 The Young Lady of the Nora Chamber of Commerce

"Um, may I ask who your young lady is?"

In fact, Valensa had already guessed a bit in her heart. After all, if a maid dared to enter Fat Ball King's office so rudely, then the identity of her master was already obvious.

Sure enough, the maid's voice was full of pride:

“My young lady is Yashilo Nora, the next owner of the Nora Trading Company.”

Valensa certainly wouldn't refuse an invitation from such a super-rich man or business partner. After thanking Fat Ball King again, she followed her maid to the top floor of the Nora Chamber of Commerce headquarters building.

"Miss Yashilo, why did you suddenly invite me? Is it really related to the collaboration?"

On the stairs leading to the top floor, Valensa hesitated for a moment before asking directly.

"Of course not. This invitation actually has nothing to do with the Nora Chamber of Commerce... Miss extended the invitation in a personal capacity and intends to thank you."

The maid replied with a soft laugh:

"Do you remember the phantom thief incident in Klar City? You saved Miss's best friend, Lady Lanzhi, during that incident... Miss remembered you after hearing about it and has been looking for an opportunity to invite you to her home and thank you in person."

In fact, even if you hadn't come today, I would have gone to the War Academy to deliver the invitation personally written by the young lady by the next day off.

"invitation?"

Valensa was somewhat surprised:

"Could you tell me what kind of invitation it is for?"

"Well..."

The maid hesitated for a moment:

"It would be best if Miss herself conveyed this invitation to you. Given my position, revealing the information beforehand might diminish Miss's sincerity."

"Too."

Valensa nodded... Since they had already personally written the invitation and were preparing for the meeting, it would indeed be impolite for her to inquire about the details from the maid beforehand.

She then changed the subject:

"Then how did your young lady know I was here? Someone of my caliber shouldn't have news of my visit reaching your young lady so quickly, right?"

“Miss Bader, you are joking. You are a very important partner of our Nora Chamber of Commerce. We should have reported your visit immediately.”

The maid smiled politely.

"Actually, this was a mistake by our front desk staff. She should have reported your visit directly to Miss, instead of contacting the catering department and then ignoring it."

Fortunately, I often substitute for the young lady in inspecting the various posts. I happened to see your and your friend's visit record while inspecting the front desk, so I immediately reported it to the young lady, who then promptly asked me to invite you.

"So that's it..."

As the two talked, they reached the top floor of the twelve-story Nora Chamber of Commerce headquarters building.

Stepping out of the stairwell, you are greeted by a huge rooftop garden, where all kinds of beautiful and rare flowers gather together and are well cared for.

"This way, please..."

The maid made another inviting gesture and led the way. The black stockings under the maid's short skirt were very alluring with her graceful walk, and Valensa couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Ah."

Lily of the Valley, who happened to catch Valensa's gaze, gave a slight sneer, seemingly disdainful of Valensa's tendency to easily become infatuated with beauty.

Valensa didn't argue with Lily of the Valley and followed the maid quickly through the sky garden, entering a luxurious room with walls and ceilings entirely made of crystal.

Two beautiful women with distinct styles were sitting close together on the sofa, chatting and laughing quietly.

Valensa recognized the tall, voluptuous woman in the long dress with purple hair as Lan Zhi, the beautiful auctioneer she had met once in Klar City.

The other beautiful woman has golden wavy hair and violet eyes. She is wearing a seemingly ordinary casual short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts. She should be Yashiro, the young lady of the Nora Chamber of Commerce.

"welcome……"

Upon seeing Valencia arrive, the two beauties stood up together and warmly shook hands with her one after the other, exchanging pleasantries using the common phrases used in high society.

After getting up close, Valensa also noticed that Yashilo and Laneige smelled very similar... They must have used the same shower gel not long ago.

Recalling her previous speculations in Klar City, Valensa was certain that the young lady of the Nora Merchant Guild was definitely a woman, and had been dating the beautiful auctioneer for quite some time.

Even now, when they talk, Valensa can still sense a desire deep in Yashiro's eyes when he looks at her... much like the desire of those men who lust after her body.

Contrary to Valensa's expectations of a sophisticated merchant guild heiress, Yashiro displayed a surprisingly forthright and straightforward personality during their conversation. More than a merchant guild heiress, she seemed like a talkative, passionate adventurer from a tavern.

So without exchanging a few pleasantries, Yashiro got straight to the point.

She affectionately took the beautiful auctioneer's hand, gazed at her tenderly for a few seconds, and then together they bowed slightly to Valensa with great sincerity.

"Thank you so much, Valencia, for saving Lanzhi from the revelers last time... Lanzhi is my best and closest friend. I would have regretted and grieved for the rest of my life if anything had happened to her."

"Yashiro, you're too kind... Didn't I already say that I just wanted to find the treasure that the phantom thief had hidden?"

Valensa smiled, thought for a moment, and then said a few more good words for her cheap senior sister:

"Actually, I think Miss Lanzhi will be fine even without me... After all, there have never been any innocent casualties in the incidents caused by the Phantom Thief Red Fox Mask."

"...That phantom thief is indeed one of the most harmless people among the revelers, but even the most harmless reveler is still a reveler."

Yashilo gave a serious different opinion:

"They are all the craziest, most dangerous, and most irrational criminals. Don't underestimate her just because of her past... she is, after all, a reveler."

“…I understand, thank you for reminding me, Yashiro.”

Valensa remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded helplessly.

The Revelers have a terrible reputation on the continent of Frenoia. It will probably be no easier for Valensa to clear her sister's name than to inherit the title of Inner Temple Knight.

"You're welcome. After all, Valensa and I hit it off immediately and are already friends... I don't like the day I hear that something has happened to my friend."

Yashilo chuckled softly, then picked up an elegant envelope that had been prepared beforehand from the coffee table tray and handed it to Valensa:

"Here, this is for you... I just wrote this invitation by hand the night before last, inviting you to our Nora Chamber of Commerce's annual appreciation festival at the beginning of next month."

"Thanksgiving?"

Chapter 115 Tia is actually being so proactive?

"The Thanksgiving Festival is the most exciting event of our Nora Chamber of Commerce every year..."

Yashilo laughed and explained to Valensa.

Valensa quickly understood that this so-called gratitude festival was probably similar to her company's annual meeting and team building activities in her previous life.

Every year in late autumn and early winter, the Nora Chamber of Commerce would gather managers and outstanding employees from all over the country to the royal capital, and would also invite some partners and nobles with good relations to participate in the thanksgiving festival.

This thanksgiving festival starts at noon and lasts until evening, and includes, but is not limited to, a very lavish feast, song and dance performances, gladiatorial games, fine art auctions, and social dances.

Overall, it was indeed a grand and fun event, and Valensa had no reason to refuse.

She readily smiled and nodded:

"Don't worry, I will definitely come... If it happens to be a day off, I will come even if I have to take leave."

"Haha, you can rest assured about Valensa, she will definitely be off work that day."

Yashilo smiled gently:

"After all, many of the guests we invite are very busy with work and only have time to participate in such activities on their days off."

Oh, by the way... the invitation I wrote for you personally is the highest level, so feel free to bring more friends along on the day.

"Ok."

Valensa smiled and nodded, and thanked her again.

"...Actually, I'm the one who should be saying thank you."

Yashilo chuckled softly a few times, then sighed:

“This appreciation event is very important to me, especially in terms of inviting partners... Your agreement to come is a huge help to me.”

"Oh?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity in her eyes:

"Could it be that this gratitude festival... holds special significance for you?"

"more or less."

Yashilo nodded:

“In previous years, my father was in charge of the entire thanksgiving festival, and I would at most assist him... But this year, I will be in charge of the festival entirely, and my father will not interfere... This is also a test of whether I can successfully inherit the family business.”

"Don't worry, Yashilo, you're so outstanding, you'll definitely be fine!"

Valensa quickly offered encouragement.

Despite saying that, Valensa wasn't very optimistic about Yashilo inheriting the Nora Chamber of Commerce.

Because Yashiro is too forthright and straightforward, this personality trait makes him quite vulnerable to being taken advantage of as the leader of a super-large merchant guild.

However, the Nora Chamber of Commerce has stood at the pinnacle of the Fran Kingdom's market for so many years, so its foundation is still very deep. The slight incompatibility in the heir's personality should not be a big problem.

After agreeing on the thanksgiving ceremony, and seeing that Yashiro didn't bring up anything else, Valensa quickly took her leave, citing concerns that her friends were getting impatient and that it was getting late.

When I found Melody and Thousand Leaf Grass in the fifth-floor rest area, the two beauties, one big and one small, were dominating a card game, winning so much that many of the Nora Chamber of Commerce staff were unable to get up.

Valensa didn't rush to interrupt them, but observed them meaningfully for a while, and almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Those Nora Chamber of Commerce staff all seemed eager to show off in front of the beautiful women, but there was no way they could beat Melody and Thousand Leaf Grass.
