Chapter 289: Vader: Cute?
Wade saw that after Will looked around, he thought no one was paying attention to them, so he pulled the girl to a corner, then took out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand.
The blonde girl shook her head in refusal, still pulling at his sleeve and speaking as if begging.
Will shook his head, firmly stuffed the money into the other person's pocket, gave her a push to signal her to leave, and then returned to his post.
Just at this moment, a new customer came in, and Will greeted him and enthusiastically introduced the workshop's new products.
The girl stared at him blankly. After a while, she pulled up her scarf to cover her face and squeezed out from the edge of the crowd.
Wade thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "That Will..."
"You figured it out? He's a werewolf too."
Marchionne poured himself a cup of coffee and said nonchalantly.
"You don't mind?" Vader asked.
Marchionne raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "Wade, didn't you also find a werewolf as a teacher?"
"Remus is different," Vader said. "I trust him."
"Oh, it's not that I trust Will, but he's cheap and useful and can make me money."
Marchionne smiled and said, "As for his hairy problem, there is wolfsbane potion, isn't there? And he doesn't have to work on those days of the month."
Wade felt more relieved: "It's good that you know it."
"But you... Wade." Marchionne asked curiously, "Why can you trust Remus, but be wary of Will when you are both werewolves? Have you discovered something unusual?"
Wade was stunned and thought:
——How can it be the same? Remus Lupin was a man who stood for justice until his death.
But of course he couldn't say this directly. He thought about it and said:
"I'm worried that you trusted Remus because of me, and hired Will because of Remus... If he was a bad guy and did something in Aslan... I would feel that I am also responsible."
Marchionne was stunned. He looked at Vader in surprise, as if he were some rare and exotic animal.
After a long while, he suddenly burst into earth-shaking laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
He laughed so hard that it sounded like a drum was beating in his chest. Everyone in the store was looking upstairs. Marchionne was leaning against the railing, laughing and waving his hands.
The people below didn't know what was happening, but the laughter from the heart was contagious, so they laughed along.
Only Vader listened to his laughter, his face gradually heating up.
When Marchionne finally stopped to rest, he asked bluntly, "Is my idea ridiculous?"
"No—no—of course not—"
Marchionne was shaking with laughter, and said, "This is not funny, Wade, I just think - hahaha - this is really cute -"
"Excuse me," Wade raised his eyebrows, "that doesn't sound like a compliment to me."
Marchionne covered his face and his shoulders shook for a while before he finally suppressed the sudden smile.
"Generally speaking, in our world, people with too high moral standards are easily taken advantage of, and people who are taken advantage of are considered lovable by others."
"But not today... not now... when I praise you for being cute, I'm not trying to take advantage of you..."
"Wade, I just think... you are still a child... Well, of course, you are only twelve years old..." "Thirteen years old!" Wade emphasized, feeling a little guilty.
Well... in this life, I have indeed just turned thirteen...
"Of course, of course, thirteen..."
Marchionne still spoke in a coaxing tone, and Wade stared at him in dissatisfaction until he rubbed his face and finally retracted the smile that was blooming on his face.
"Don't worry, Remus didn't recommend Will to me. His help to those people was just to provide some funds, so that they only needed to pay a small amount of money to buy the wolfsbane potion and dress themselves up like decent people."
Marchionne said in a very gentle tone: "He believes that having a good image will make it easier to find a job."
"As for my hiring Will, it really has nothing to do with Remus, it's just because of the reason I just mentioned-"
"Will only gets one person's salary, but he can do the work of three people, and he is willing to do all the dirty and tiring work. This thing disappears when the full moon changes shape."
"Why wouldn't I hire such a cost-effective employee?"
Wade looked a little embarrassed and said sheepishly, "I thought too much."
Marchionne laughed again. “You think too highly of me… If he can’t create value for me, I won’t continue to work with him, let alone Remus’ friend, even if he is Remus himself. It may sound a bit harsh, but that’s who I am.”
"That's right, this guy is so utilitarian... So if one day you or I lose our value, he will abandon us without hesitation!"
Suddenly, a chilling voice came from behind. Marchionne jumped up immediately and said with a flattering smile: "How could that be? Professor... You have always been the teacher I am most grateful to!"
Professor Murray snorted, sat down in Marchione's original seat, and put the box in his hand on the table.
Marchionne had no choice but to wave his wand, and a chair next to him immediately slid over by itself and landed just behind him.
"Professor, did you also buy a flow mirror?" Wade asked curiously.
Professor Murray's alchemical works helped Marchionne make a lot of money, so before the flow mirror started selling, Aslan Magic Workshop had already presented Professor Murray with the most exquisite mirror.
"This mirror is very interesting. I want to buy a few to give as gifts to some old friends."
Facing Wade, Professor Murray's tone was much gentler. He explained:
"You know, some old guys haven't gone out for more than ten years, and they are almost moldy at home. This mirror can add a lot of fun to their boring lives."
"You're going to send it to Mr. Nick Flamel as well, right?" Marchionne said quietly beside him, "To show off to him how outstanding your students are. To be honest, teacher - it's a bit childish."
Professor Murray's forehead was throbbing with veins. He suddenly turned around and said to Wade with a smile: "Wade, are you here with your friends?"
Wade was stunned for a moment: "Uh...right."
"Then go find your friends. Don't leave them behind. That's not very polite," said Professor Murray.
"Oh, okay." Wade glanced at Marchionne slowly, then said goodbye and left.
Before he went downstairs, he heard Professor Murray's voice: "Come, Marchionne, as a teacher, let me check whether your magic level has declined."
Marchionne refused: "No thanks, Professor. I'm very busy today..."
"hehe."
Professor Murray sneered, and a white-haired, golden-eyed puppet suddenly grew larger, grabbed Marchionne by the collar and dragged him away.
Marchionne screamed: "Professor, professor, I was wrong..."
