The Human Giant

Chapter 369 Chapter 368: My Maids Are The Most Helpful!

"Giving these businesses money will only bleed the finances of the town. Are you expecting me to foot the bill?" Mr. Light asked.

While rich, he didn't have unlimited funds to give to the townspeople as he pleased. And even if he wanted to go into debt, there was only so much money people would be willing to give him.

It would be fantastic if this plan worked, but it would only worsen his current situation if it didn't.

"No, I am not saying to hand people money for free. Instead, change the tax system to be more favorable for businesses."

"This will not only bring back the previous businesses in Jelly Town since they still have a foundation here but also attract other businesses and companies. In any case, as long as the company you serve is making money from her nearby mine, they won't care about how fantastic the town is thriving for a while." Yoze responded.

This was the most they could do in the short run. There might have been other methods that had better results, but they all required a permanent population of people. With Jelly Town down to its last couple of dozen people, using those methods wasn't nearly impossible.

"In the meantime, we need to spend lots of money to ensure that necessary stores are stocked so people can survive. That means grocery stores, clothing stores, and supply stores."

"It will drain your bank account. This is to be expected. Trying to revitalize a town is hard but better than starting from the beginning," Evi added.

From that point, their conversation became very deep as they discussed all the details regarding taxes and policies that needed to be straightened out. Soon, they discussed how they were going to enforce their new rules. From time to time, thanks to the encouragement of Yoze, Evi, and Mr. Light, the maid that had spoken out earlier would ask a question, spurring another round of discussions.

Without knowing why, the maid found herself involved in the inner circles of Mr. Light. Yet, while Mr. Light initially found Yoze's and Evi's choice to bring her along strange, he changed his mind when he saw how much help she provided.

"As expected from two scholars, this one choice saved us hundreds of hours of experimenting and observation. I should give this maid a promotion. Hmmm, what was her name again?" Mr. Light rubbed his smooth chin and glanced at the maid with gratitude.

The only person who didn't join in their discussion was the one maid who hadn't spoken once.

Time quickly passed when Yoze, Evi, and Mr. Light sighed heavily as they all felt exhausted. The work that they had done usually required dozens of people, yet they accomplished it only in a few hours, which was an accomplishment but exhausting.

"How about you miss? Do you have any questions, or is there anything you don't understand?" Evi asked while massaging his temples to relieve some of the pressure inside his head.

"...Uhmm, I am just an ordinary maid, sir. I don't understand anything you have said at all." The maid who hadn't spoken finally said.

"Hmmm, we will call it quits here for now. I think we have made enough progress in one day. Let's meet up at the same time tomorrow. That includes you two." Mr. Light calmly said.

He was exhausted and had no energy to go for another hour-long discussion with Evi and Yoze. He feared that if his second maid asked a fantastic question, they wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

"Yes, master!"

"Yes, master!"

Mr. Light's two maids immediately bowed their heads as they both accepted his proposal. Knowing that there wasn't anything urgent at the moment, Yoze and Evi nodded in acceptance.

"..."

"...Can you leave my room? They will take you to your rooms." Mr. Light paused before adding to his statement.

"Scholar Yoze, our current beds cannot hold someone your size yet. I will get someone to purchase another bed to temporarily increase the size."

"I hope that you can understand." Mr.Light calmly explained with his voice filled with respect.

Before, he doubted that someone who looked strong could be an excellent scholar, but Yoze had proved him wrong. Not only was he a great scholar, but his ability to come up with solutions that others hadn't thought about before was shocking.

Without Yoze's advice, they wouldn't have made so much progress and would most likely be stuck in numerous issues. So Mr. Light's opinion of him had risen dramatically.

Plus, Yoze's handsome and beautiful looks would play an enormous part in improving the public's image of him. While Mr. Light thought of himself as someone with good looks, he lacked the complex and multifaceted handsomeness and beauty that Yoze possessed.

Having someone with that level of beauty was like a tsunami lifting all the boats so that even the rustiest and decayed boat would temporarily have a moment of glory before it was destroyed.

"Don't worry about it. I will not be sleeping tonight. All I want is for you to send these two maids to my room with a list of requested items."

"After I receive them, they can go to Evi's room to give him some snacks," Yoze said casually with a wave of his hand.

Yet it led to a bombshell in the minds of Mr. Light and the two maids. Immediately, Mr. Light frowned as he didn't think that Yoze would be the type of person to take advantage of his status.

Yet he knew that after all this help Yoze provided, he couldn't bluntly refuse his request since he didn't make his intentions clear. For all he knew, Yoze really could have just wanted snacks.

All he could do was tell his maids to follow orders and secretly help them resist any pressure that fell upon them.

Yoze noticed they had misunderstood his request and immediately thought about what his words could have meant. He shook his head and was about to explain, but Evi stepped in and helped him out.

"I would prefer if you could place me and Yoze in the same bedroom. Please do bring the snacks and items, though." Evi lightly coughed before making his intentions known, causing his face to turn red from embarrassment.
