HLnovel Chapter 240: Flattery
Chapter 240: Flattery
Of course, McFlurry also understood that under such circumstances, the impact of this incident on the Ducey family was still very huge.
Even though he personally despised such behavior, after all, they were all upper-class aristocrats, so they still had to save some face.
What's more, the country is currently in the process of waging war abroad, so it is better not to make the entire superstructure too turbulent.
But then he changed his mind and realized that this "Qin Xinghe" really didn't understand the ways of the world.
I want "him" to lie and let Düsseldorf and Ducati off the hook, but I really don't know how to start the conversation.
After much thought, I decided to just let them solve this matter themselves.
So, Mai Tornado turned to "Qin Xinghe" and said:
"Chief Engineer Qin, please discuss the details with Minister Du Sai to see if there is any misunderstanding. We will go in first."
After that, he led the three ladies into the banquet hall.
At this time, Düsseldorf was relieved to hear McFlurry say this.
He understood that McFlurry's subtext was to let him deal with this silly-looking dwarf on his own.

Of course, if we can deal with him, then everything will be settled.
Although this matter will still become a topic of conversation, at least on the surface it will not become a handle for others to attack their family.
After all, all parties involved admitted that it was a misunderstanding.
But if you can't deal with this idiot in front of you who seems difficult to talk to, then all this work will be in vain.
Therefore, Düsseldorf quickly adjusted his mood, and gave what he thought was a kind smile to "Qin Xinghe" who was staring at him with wide eyes.
But before he could open his mouth, he heard "Qin Xinghe" say something that was like thunder rolling in his ears:
"I am absolutely sure that the man in the red-light district is Ducati. I am not lying. I have evidence."
This made the nearly 60-year-old man from Düsseldorf choke and almost vomit blood.
But he couldn't open his mouth to argue at this moment, because a large group of nobles were swarming towards this side.
He resisted the urge to kill the dwarf, and said at the top of his voice with a smile on his face:
"Hahaha, that's true! It's easy to make a mistake from such a distance. After all, he has an ordinary face! It's okay, it's just a small matter, haha."
Then, before Qin Xinghe could react, he grabbed his hands again, shook them continuously, and continued to speak loudly:
"Chief Engineer Qin is really a good person! He knows he was wrong, but he still came to clarify. It's okay, it's okay, my little Du will definitely not go to that kind of place, haha."
These two sentences were shouted extremely loudly. Not only the people passing by nearby, but even the people in the banquet hall at that time could hear them.
Obviously, this old guy wants to prejudge things, call a horse a zebra, and confuse the public.
But our Miss Shen couldn't agree to him, so she got very angry and wanted to have a tantrum to embarrass this cunning old guy.
At this moment, a hand gently pressed on Qin Xinghe's shoulder from behind.
Shen Yiyi looked back and realized that the roar she had prepared did not come out.
Because the person standing behind her at this moment was Steve, the crown prince of the Riyuan Kingdom.
He ignored Dusseldorf standing opposite him, and smiled at Shen Yiyi enthusiastically:
"Is this Chief Engineer Qin? Hello, I'm Steve. Elizabeth always praises your excellent tree armor modification skills in front of me. I also saw your recent work 'Iron General', it's really wonderful!"
After saying this, without waiting for Shen Yiyi to reply, he turned to the old man in Düsseldorf and said:
"Respected Minister Ducey, I think the misunderstanding between you has been resolved now, so let's end this matter here! The banquet inside is about to begin! You should go in!"
"Besides, Chief Engineer Qin helped you clarify the misunderstanding, so I think you will definitely thank him accordingly in the future, right?"

Originally, when the old guy from Düsseldorf was yelling, he was a little nervous, fearing that the seemingly stubborn "Qin Xinghe" in front of him would contradict him in person.
If that happens, it would be a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.
But at this moment, the eldest prince Steve suddenly intervened and gave him a lot of face in his words.
This made him feel relieved, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and he hurriedly said, following Steve's words:
"That's right, that's right! Chief Engineer Qin has cleared up the misunderstanding for my son. I will definitely thank him very much, thank him very much!"
He did not shout this sentence as loudly as he did just now, wanting the whole world to know it. Instead, his voice was much lower.
After saying this, Düsseldorf dragged his unsteady legs and skipped towards the dinner party.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the little dwarf with an indignant look on his face would cause trouble again.
It can be said that the eldest prince Steve played the tactic of "borrowing the opponent's force" very beautifully.
Logically speaking, if there was a problem with the ministers from the Second Prince's faction, it should have been Dennis who stepped in to resolve it.
But at this time, the second prince had just offended McFlurry and no one knew where he had gone.
The eldest prince stepped forward and did a favor for Dusseldorf when he was at a loss.
Moreover, it can be said that this favor did not require much effort.
I believe that this little episode will become a heavy weight when Düsseldorf swings in the future.
On this side, "Qin Xinghe" looked as if he had silently accepted his fate, and sighed softly a few times, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
What's even more amazing is that his eyes were filled with mist, and it seemed that tears of grievance would splash out at any time.
This change in expression made the eldest prince Steve feel like he was a heinous person who deceived honest people.
Just when he wanted to say a few words of comfort, he saw that "Qin Xinghe" suddenly frowned, then relaxed his brows, as if he had discovered something, and asked in surprise:
"Steve...? Are you His Royal Highness Steve, the Crown Prince of our Riyuan Kingdom?"
This time, Steve was a little stunned.
After all this fuss, this little dwarf actually just recognized me!
This made the eldest prince, who was always used to being the center of attention, feel both ridiculous and annoyed.
However, his expression remained as friendly as always, and he nodded at "Qin Xinghe" to show his affirmation.
He had just nodded when he saw the expression on the dwarf's face changed again.
From the surprise just now, it gradually turned into great joy, ecstasy, and overjoyed.
It was the first time Steve saw someone express joy in such distinct layers.
Then, he was heard shouting happily:
"Oh my God! It's really you! It's my honor to meet the Crown Prince of the Empire! Your Highness Steve, you are one of the symbols of the country! You are the second person I want to meet on my dream list! Meeting you today really made my dream come true!"

Steve had never thought that he had such an important position in the heart of this dwarf, and he couldn't help feeling happy.
So he replied with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, Chief Engineer Qin! In fact, it is my honor to meet you. As I just said, the 'Iron General' you modified is really a masterpiece."
Hearing this compliment, Qin Xinghe scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled innocently:
"Those are just my little tricks. Compared with you, they are the difference between a firefly and the bright moon!"
"I've always heard from everyone that you are a handsome man with a romantic and elegant demeanor, and most importantly, you are very kind to others and never use your power and status to bully others."
"It's true today when I saw you! It's my blessing to be able to stand so close to you and talk to you!"
This series of flattery came out of Qin Xinghe's mouth with a pleasant and melodious sound, so smoothly.
Coupled with his honest and upright expression, the effect of the flattery was surprisingly good, as if what he said was the truth.
In fact, when it comes to flattery, the eldest prince Steve has heard too much from childhood to adulthood.
However, in an occasion like today, facing an honest man who seemed to have no ulterior motives, what he said really made the eldest prince feel that what he heard was the truth.
For a moment, Steve was in an extremely happy mood.
