Chapter 368 Where is your salary?
The first day of August begins with welcoming the return of the president.
It was midsummer, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Besides eating three meals a day, Worm began to dislike coming here again.
Rod and Mira's evil plan was declared bankrupt before it even started to be implemented. They were so cruel that they really made everyone work overtime under the scorching sun.
Although Rhodes could think of a more evil plan of constructing in the middle of the night and resting during the day.
"President!"
"The president is back!"
"President, you have worked hard all the way!"
Everyone happily greeted Makarov. In their opinion, although Ghost was solely responsible for such a big incident, as the president of Holy Ten, he might also be detained for a few days.
It would be nice to come back safely.
Makarov looked at the completed part of the first floor and said happily: "The progress is very fast, everyone has worked hard."
Mira poured him a cup of tea: "President, is everything going well? Have you been made anything difficult for?"
“Although there was a little routine questioning, I handled it beautifully!”
As for how he was scolded and how he "handled it nicely", Makarov didn't say anything. The children just need to know that their father is very powerful.
He jumped up on the counter and said loudly: "I have good news for everyone. I have brought back a large amount of funds, so go ahead and build our guild beautifully!"
"oh!!!"
The guild is everyone's home, who doesn't want to make his home better?
Rhodes made an exception and poured Makarov a glass of wine: "Great, President, come and sign the bill."
"No problem!" Makarov drank it up generously, but then felt a little uncomfortable, "By the way, shouldn't we have a party to celebrate? We're going to start work soon?"
"No, if we have a banquet, we will be hungover again, and we will owe other people money." Rhodes put a stack of bills in front of him.
"Look, the cost of building materials such as wood, stone, and cement, the cost of hiring professional designers, the cost of hiring technicians, compensation for damaged buildings, the cost of replenishing magic crystals and magic books, and the cost of the tavern last month
salary……"
The sum of all the various projects is really not a small amount.
If it weren't for Fairy Tail's high reputation nearby, the project would have been stalled by now.
"I know." Makarov sighed.
He thought for a moment about how embarrassed Rod and Mira must have been when they had to pay people for credit these days. He thought about how tired Lucky and Marcus were after working overtime to save material costs, so he didn't bother to complain.
"Come on, President." Mira encouraged, "You only need to sign the bill today, there is no need to write a letter of apology."
Because the first batch of people who went out to do the mission haven't come back yet, they probably haven't had time to cause trouble yet.
"..." Makarov was almost petrified. By the way, there may be a new self-criticism to be written in a few days...
Speaking of which, the period of isolation and review were actually the most relaxing days for him?
Makarov stiffly signed the bills one by one. Xiaoya advised me to retire early, which was indeed correct.
Rhodes looked at Mira helplessly. Is it too much to hit her like this just after the president came back?
Mira stuck out the tip of her tongue and got used to it.
Rhodes had no choice but to take out two medicine bottles and stuff them into Mira's hands.
That was emergency medicine prepared for the president. He specially got it from Granny Porlyusica.
If the elder is not in good health, the younger generation must make more preparations.
Although it feels strange to bring out this kind of preparation at this time.
Although Mira took the medicine bottle, she waved her hand towards Rhodes. The president is very strong, otherwise he would have been dead before he lived to be 88... bah bah bah!
The president wants to live a long life.
…
Once the funds are in place, wages will be paid immediately.
Along with the wages, compensation for damage to the store was also paid.
Rhodes' injured treasury was finally replenished.
In addition to salary, the great hero Lucky also received a large bonus.
Lucky is in a mixed mood. She has a long-awaited little cutie that she can buy in advance.
In order to be so well-off next month, she had the idea of working harder.
It was so terrible. Lucky patted her palms with a thick wad of banknotes: "I feel like I'm going to lose to the evil money."
Rhodes couldn't see his companion looking so distressed: "Why don't you let me help you deal with these evil things."
Lucky ignored him and complained directly to Mira: "Sister Mira, your boyfriend asked for money from another woman!"
"Really?" Mira covered her face and looked shy, "He must have thought that I worked too hard to be like this. I was so touched. So, I gave him the money."
"Hey~" Lucky ran away holding the fruits of her labor.
Rod and Mira had a long-awaited lunch at the restaurant outside - actually it didn't take long.
After the meal, the two went to the bank.
Keeping large amounts of cash in your hands always makes you feel uneasy, so Mira also saves part of her salary.
She took her bankbook and Rhodes's bankbook in her hands, opened them, and counted them together.
It's coming soon. If the two of them work together, they will be able to save enough soon. If he dares not to propose then... Humph!
Mira suddenly discovered that the amount of Rhode's deposit record was wrong: "Isn't this month's salary saved?"
"Well, neither of us will probably be able to go out to work this month, so I want to keep it just in case."
"That's true..." Mira showed a troubled expression, "Then it seems I have saved too much."
Such an expression was very cute. Rhodes was a little touched, not only himself, but Mira was also making good plans for the future.
Rhodes hugged her and said boldly: "It doesn't matter, I will support you. So..."
Mira looked at him: "So?"
"So do you want to move into my house?"
"Have no good intentions!"
…
Just after the hottest time in the afternoon, the construction site immediately started to get busy.
This time it was Makarov who transformed into a giant and took the lead.
As long as he gets busy, he can justifiably pass on those troublesome tasks to Mira and Rhodes
This is definitely not a shirking of responsibility, but the most reasonable work arrangement.
His giant magic is originally suitable for this kind of manual labor.
As the president, you must know how to make the best use of everyone’s talents!
Rhodes and Mira had no choice but to deal with the trivial matters left by the president one by one. They were already used to it, but now it was just more troublesome.
However, there are some things that you can't hide from even if you want to.
That night, while the tavern was still open, Rhodes received a letter from the Senate using magic.
Before Erza and the others came back, the complaint had already been sent to the Council.
After reading the contents of the complaint, Rhodes asked Mira to bring some medicine, and together they went to find Makarov who was hiding in a quiet place drinking alone.
"President."
"Huh?" Makarov was seriously thinking about retirement and did not realize the seriousness of the problem at this time. "You are here. Do you want to sit down and have a drink together?"
"No need, President." Rhodes planned to pave the way for the old man before Mira spoke.
"Actually, Erza teamed up with Natsu, Gray, and Lucy to go out to work, and they took on the task of defeating the Magic Order."
Makarov realized something was wrong: "What's the result?"
Mira handed over the letter: "Although Rhodes reminded them to restrain themselves, three streets were still destroyed in the end."
"three……"
Chapter completed!
