The woman came beside Beriz and put down the drinks onto the table. Her bearing was graceful and full of honor. The drinks were looking very good and delicious, made up of some fresh fruits, drowned in white milk and saluted with sweetener above the drinks. It could easily be extravagant for some people to drink this kind of food.
Enjar smiled when he saw this. "You don't have to do this, but thanks for the treat. I presume this is your wife?" Enjar inquired.
Beriz too smiled after seeing the woman come into view. "It is our obligation to treat the guests right. And yes she is my wife, it seems that this was your first time seeing her. Let me introduce her to you, her name is Yeneri." Beriz took one of the drinks and mixed up a little bit of the fruits inside while urging Enjar to not be chary.
"I'm pleased to meet you, Mr. Enjar. Hope that it's to your liking." The woman called Yeneri said to Enjar with a smile on her face.
"It's my pleasure to meet you two, Mrs. Yeneri. Then I will not be polite." Enjar took the drink without hesitation and took a sip from it. Sweetness was flowing into his mouth, wetting his throat with such goodness and tastiness.
"As expected from the owner of Succulent River Inn. Truly a delicacy worth every penny." Enjar exclaimed while he shook the drink a little bit.
"It is just a humble store to earn a living or two. My business can't be compared to your doing, Mr. Enjar." Beriz happily replied. When one took a compliment from another, how can one not be happy? Beriz gave a look to Yeneri, and looking like she understood the meaning of his glance, she left the reception room tacitly.
"My business that I'm about to do in the near future, can't even be compared to what I've done ever since I'm living in this kingdom." Putting down the drink after drinking it until it was half empty, Enjar said with a whole hearted tone. His eyes were looking sharp and very steady, as if his goal could not be compromised in any way. His demeanor firm yet elegant, looking like he was some kind of a righteous noble.
Solemness appeared yet again on Beriz' face. After some thinking that he had processed, he said, "What kind of dealing that you're going to propose to me, Mr. Enjar?"
"What I'm going to bring, is honestly just an idea that I have in mind, which will bring enormous profit if it is done correctly. What I want you to do is pretty simple, I want you to deal with the formal things. Documents, permissions, legality, overseer, anything. If you need some funds to proceed, I will give you the amount that is needed." Enjar looked at the man in a relaxed but serious manner. He scanned Beriz reaction and response from what he expressed.
"… And the business idea that you've found is?" Beriz asked after some contemplations.
"I need to be honest with you. This information pretty much has a value that needs to be considered, so I apologize that I cannot say much about it. But for starters, let's say, it's about clothing. I want to establish a factory in this kind of field. And I have an idea that could make my business big. Now, I'm offering you the position to handle the administration later on."

In this kingdom, legalization and administration was still not a case that needed to be done in detail for everyone, especially for common people. For example, small things like reporting the death or birth of someone were not reported in detail. They only needed the information in general, and legalization documents were usually used by the upper class. For a small business in scale like what Beriz had, it also did not need to handle that much of administration.
But for big business, sooner or later they will be seen by the upper ups, and owning the rights and permits would be a thing that needed to be done. And administration would be a little complex on that point. Enjar did not want to partake in that field because he had other plans to do, so he needed another person to do it for him. A person that was trustworthy, responsible, and hardworking.
"For more details, you can go to my place in 3 days from now. Just visit my place and I will show you the details there." Enjar said.
The best way was naturally to offer this deal when he had already prepared something first to make him understand the plan better. Enjar had not done anything about this project that he was about to do, at all if one might say. But he preferred to tell Beriz beforehand so that he could make him understand this goal of his to make a factory. Naturally, Enjar did not need to say this. His status was enough to make him consider this offer of his.
"Okay, I think I have achieved what I wanted to do. It's time for me to go now." Enjar stood up while straightening his clothes. Beriz followed his action too and stood up from his seat.
"Thanks for coming here, Mr. Enjar. I will consider your offer in the meantime. But you can be rest assured that at the very least, I will visit you based on the scheduled time." Beriz said with a smile plastered on his face. He did not have a plan on that day, so naturally he could agree to his invitation.
Enjar went to the door to bid farewell. He once again offered his hand for a handshake to Beriz.
"Well then, I'll see you again." Enjar said with a grin on his face. He walked away after saying that.
Beriz replied to him with a smile. He watched Enjar go on his way until he could not see his back anymore.
Beriz fell into contemplation. At first, he did not really think about it that much. But after he talked with him for a while, he realized that something was quite different. It seemed that Enjar acted like usual. He too naturally had interacted with him in the past. One thing that easily stood out from Enjar's character was that he always appeared confident. But today, his confidence was over the top. Somehow, his vibes felt different. His aura was sturdier.
He seemed different in his eyes. Something different could clearly be felt by him, but he did not know how to put his finger at it. He just could not pinpoint that tingling, different spot.
'Was it just my imagination? Or he truly appeared different like usual?' Beriz thought inside of his mind. He sighed a mouthful of air while rubbing his bearded chin.
'Maybe I'm just over thinking. It could be inferred that Enjar's project will be pretty big that he himself became that confident and appeared firmer than ever. Hmmm. I don't know what kind of idea that he has inside of his mind, but since he was able to deal with the Gril family alone while making a fortune out of it, then this idea of his will surely be on the same level.' Beriz mused while entering his house again, ended by closing the door.
***
Enjar walked in a relaxed manner. With a soft smile attached on his face, he looked like he was in peace and happiness. His course of direction would lead him to the center of the city simply by following the road. There were other people too who walked or used cartridges around him, reminding him that he was not alone in this world. He was thinking about the man that he just met a while before, Beriz.
Beriz was an upstart entrepreneur that was pretty well known in this city. He had a business in an innery, which was located in the center of the city. The name itself was Succulent River Inn. It was a pretty new establishment, but not that old either. He afforded it after being a travelling merchant for years before. And after having enough money, he bought land and built the inn on it. He was an aspiring merchant that literally started from zero. Being able to achieve this feat was honestly amazing in its own right.
Not only was he smart, but he was also diligent and simple. He was always able to take a good if not the best course of interest in every chance and opportunity that arrived in front of him. But one thing that became a hurdle in his way, was that he offended some nobles.
