Chapter 2225: Big Sister, I Don’t Want To Work Anymore!
Mag looked at the picture book in Scheer’s hand and smilingly said, “It’s Annie’s work. It’s very well-drawn, which makes people like it very much.”
“Yes. This is one of the best picture books for maidens. Be it the drawing style or the story, Annie’s illustration talent is simply astonishing.” Scheer nodded with a smile before she changed the conversation topic suddenly. “But I am more curious about how this picture book was printed.”
Straight to the point and the core of the issue.
She still liked to talk in this manner.
“Are you interested in it?” Mag looked at Scheer.
“Yes. It’s just like the steam engine, so it’s hard not to be interested in it.” Scheer nodded with conviction. “After all, it’s a big thing that can subvert an industry, and it’s always important to have the power of control.”
Mag smiled as he looked at Scheer with an admirable gaze.
A mere picture book. People who were slightly smart would buy it and sell it to make a small sum. People in the industry might be able to feel the opportunity, while Scheer saw the chance to fight for control.
She really came from an old capitalist family.
The appearance of the colored printing press was, without a doubt, tantamount to a dimensionality reduction blow to the paper media on the Norland Continent.
Using a simple example, whoever was able to release a fully colored magazine now, be it the geographical magazine that introduced the customs and scenery, or the playboy magazine that had the succubus on its cover, or just a simple gourmet magazine, they could easily take over a huge market share.
Furthermore, the other magazine presses had no way to retaliate at all.
Color was that amazing and that was also why the people on Earth pursued resolution relentlessly.
The profitability of the magazine wasn’t important. As long as it had a certain amount of sales, it could become a channel with a huge influence.
Be it instilling ads, or propagandizing some kind of ideology, it would be a very powerful platform.
Most of the resources were scattered right now, but with the appearance of color printing and its monopoly for a period of time, this situation would most likely be changed....
Unfortunately, Mag only had one nuclear-powered printer.
Although its printing speed should be able to catch up with Scheer’s ambition, it was difficult for him to explain how this sophisticated machine was created.
He had provided a blueprint for the steam engine, before Scheer used her superpower of money to create a powerful team and overcome all the problems to create it.
However, this was nuclear-powered… even when he had a brain that came from Earth, it totally wasn’t enough!
As for color printing, he had to organize the knowledge in his brain and come out with one printing machine that wasn’t so extravagant and yet still served its purpose.
Scheer said to Mag with a serious expression, “I wonder if I have the honor to work with Mr. Mag again. I guess with our past familiar collaboration, we should be able to do this very well.
Mag shook his head and replied, “Actually, up till now, this is still an immature idea. Its output is only 1,000 picture books per day.”
Scheer said thoughtfully, “Do you intend to do it alone?”
“Currently, yes.” Mag nodded before calmly saying, “You know very well that I’m not very ambitious. In the very beginning, I just wanted to let my child’s work have color and allow more people to enjoy it.”
The system dissed him. “Freeloader! Shameless! Ptui!”

Scheer was stunned and she stared at Mag with disbelief and an open mouth.
She had never expected that the problem that had stumped the world for years was resolved because he wanted to let his child’s works have color when they were sold.
“He’s really a good man.” Scheer couldn’t help thinking about that inwardly. Mag’s image became even more noble in her heart.
He could cook, was smart and considerate to his family. He was indeed a good man and a good father.
Oh yes. Apart from being the lady boss, being his daughter was not bad either.
Just that you’ve got to call him daddy.

Scheer blushed as she chased all the weird thoughts in her mind away. She said to Mag, “Since that’s the case, I’ll wait till this technology is widely used before we talk about collaboration again. I hope to be the first person you remember then. I’m willing to supply every requirement for Mr. Mag.”
“Sure.” Mag nodded.
In terms of financial power, no one could compare to Scheer indeed.
Furthermore, as a business person, working with Scheer made one feel more relieved than working with some power or race.
As long as the sharing of interests was reasonable, the collaboration would be very stable and he didn’t have to worry about the other terms.
Scheer took a sip of the tea and the faint refreshing and warm chrysanthum’s fragrance lingered in her mouth. Putting down the teacup, Scheer flicked her hair and pretended to casually say, “Mr. Mag has never talked about the lady boss.”
Scheer blushed after saying that and she glanced at Mag with the corner of her eyes. Her heart began to race. How could she have said that?!
Mag was slightly taken aback as he looked at Scheer with a weird expression. Speaking of which, they were not that close to each other that it allowed them to talk about private matters, right?
Furthermore, why did she suddenly ask about the lady boss?
Why was she blushing?
Perhaps…
She wanted to get my printing machine for free?!
“About the lady boss, I don’t have to worry either. I heard the ladies have formed a line and it has reached the city gates,” Mag replied with a smile and looked at Scheer with an alert gaze. “Does Miss Scheer have someone you like?”
It would be the best if she did. Otherwise, he had to be careful.
Zhang Wuji’s mother was right. Pretty women are all liars1.
Scheer blushed under Mag’s gaze.
However, why was he asking that?
Everyone knew that she, Scheer Buffett, was beautiful and smart. No man in Chaos City was good enough for her and she hadn’t met anyone that she liked.
Of course, that was in the past.
Today, she suddenly felt that Mag was not bad.

Although he was older than her, he only looked more mature and his figure was well-kept. She could vaguely see his smart figure under his shirt. His slender fingers were also very good-looking and he didn’t look greasy even when he was working in the kitchen.
Hence, was he testing if he had a chance?
“The line formed by the men who like me has most probably reached the outside of the city gate too,” Scheer replied faintly.
Mag raised his eyebrows slightly. He had met his match.
His line reached the city gate, but hers had already reached the outside of the city gate.
However, as the number one richest female tycoon in Chaos City, the rich and beautiful Scheer was definitely the dream lady for many men.
“Big Sister, I don’t want to work anymore!”
Mag felt that he could be a freeloader for the rest of his life as long as he said that.
Of course, the greatest risk of choosing this path wasn’t in the bed, but being hacked to death by Irina.
Furthermore, Mag didn’t think that this beautiful and smart business tycoon would fall for a chef like him. Such a story would only happen in the fairytales that lied to the children.
Hence, she just wanted to get the printer for free.
“I rejected them all,” Mag said.
