Ch.443 Selling Life (2)
Gong Yimo saw the change in his demeanor but he did not force him and continued on herself.
“I don’t know what kind of existence the bank is in Your Majesty’s eyes, but in mine, just its existence was greater than building a country!”
“This contract in my hand makes me, an outsider, the second person-in-charge of the JInyu Bank, and I am also friends with Jin Yun. He will at least listen to my advice.”
Gong Yimo’s eyes grew bright. “With this, Dayu will be able to join forces with Yuheng, and together, we can unify the banknotes! From a national point of view, I can bind Dayu and Yuheng together by doing this! Even with ambition, this is not something Louye can ever achieve.
“From a benefits point of view, the interchange of currency between two countries is bound to break our nation’s barriers and we can start to build diplomatic relations. Then, in the future, we will be able to obtain much of what Yuheng had that we do not have! And with this contract, we don’t have to worry about Yuheng turning coat!
“As long as the Jinyu Bank continues to grow, the power in my hands only grows larger! Even if Yuheng abandons the contract, we can secure our moral rights with this piece of paper as evidence even if we were to break out into conflict!
“That is why Yuheng would want nothing more than for our two countries to join hands. He will definitely not want to sour the relationship between our countries! We hold the initiative!”
As she spoke thus, she raised her brows and blinked cheerfully at the Emperor.
“So, will acting as the beam in the establishment of diplomatic relations between two countries be enough to buy me a second life?”
If Gong Che was here, then he would definitely be able to understand what Gong Yimo was doing!
When she said she wanted to build the canal, she said that one day she would open the gates and establish diplomatic relations for all four nations!
Jin Yun knew this wish, and so did Gong Jue and Shen Shiyue, but they never thought that someone like her who didn’t seem to have a care or a heart would actually do this for real!
She had no schemes in her heart, but there were great gullies inside! Rivers, lakes, and oceans! And now, she was using the benefits to force Gong Cheng to open up the country! Starting from Yuheng!
Would he agree?
Gong Cheng thought about it for a long time. It seemed like Gong Yimo had already drawn up a beautiful painting for him to look forward to, and it made his heart surge!
But the four major nations have long since been in this fixed pattern. Now, would he become the first to break that? If he did that, would it bring benefit or danger? Is there a conspiracy for Gong Yimo to be doing this or not?
He had to think about all of this!
After a while, he handed the piece of paper he was clutching on back to Gong Yimo.
Then, he looked deeply at her!
“It will take a court meeting to decide this, and it will buy you a second life!”
Gong Yimo’s eyes curved into a smile.
She smiled so beautifully as if she was very satisfied, and that familiar smile calmed Gong Cheng’s originally tumultuous heart.
At this moment, she suddenly got on both knees and bowed deeply to Gong Cheng!
The way she did that caused Gong Cheng’s heart to jump a few times!
When Gong Yimo had been demoted, she also kneeled in front of him, and when she had been forced to give up her firearms on the city walls, she also kneeled for him before feigning death…Every time she kneeled down, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and every time they were for profound intentions and decisions. So, what was it going to be this time?
After Gong Yimo kowtowed, she raised her head and looked at him determinedly, and her voice was clear.
“For the third life, I will not buy it. I sell myself to you, to this country! As long as you keep me, I am willing to stay alone and unwed for the rest of my life!”
