Chapter 1601: Retired Old Man
♂,
After nightfall, they went into action. Since they had already scouted the terrain during the day, they had chiefs to lead the way. They evaded the sentry and boarded the island of Petit Deomeid, opposite in a rowboat. Everything went smoothly and unbeknownst to God.
Two days later, they flew from Alaska to the San Francisco Bay Area, but Zhao Jianfei was not with them, he left halfway. The team members knew why, but no one took the initiative to mention it. They rushed to San Francisco because of the order of Long Noon.
However, this time it was not a mission, but Long Noon feasted them in his private mansion. Originally, it was customary for Long Fat to cook by himself, but this time it was not. It was his wife, Lady Joneser, who cooked. Although the dishes made by this Latin beauty are somewhat Latin American-style seasonings, they already have some hints of Chinese food, and Long Noon's influence is not insignificant.
After being full of wine and food, Long stood up at noon and walked to Lin Rui's side, "Xiaolin, come over here." Long Noon patted Lin Rui on the shoulder.
Lin Rui got up from the table and followed him to the balcony. "What's the matter?"
"I don't know where to start. Long Noon was silent for a while.
Lin Rui frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Long Noon shook his head, "It's not a difficult thing, for me, it should be a good thing." I'm ready to retire. ”
"What?" Lin Rui turned his head in surprise, "Why? Aren't you doing a good job? Now all aspects of the company are on the right track." We are almost one of the most successful companies in the industry, and the ones that have reached this height in the shortest possible time. With the addition of the Grand Leagues, we're pretty much the rule-makers in the mercenary industry right now. Why do you suddenly have this thought?"
"It's because everything is so smooth and orderly, and I think it's time to retire. Long Noon looked at the little lights under the balcony. "I'm different from you, I'm older, and I have a small family. It's a bit ruthless to go out and fight hard. ”
"What are you kidding, we've never asked you to fight hard. You just have to call the shots, and it's safe and secure. Why do you want to leave?" Lin Rui frowned.
"The last time I came back was because the silver wolf was missing, and now he has returned to St. Kaiser Island. Long Xiaowu smiled and said, "So I took the opportunity to return this burden to him." ”
"When did the silver wolf return to St. Kaiser Island?" Lin Rui said in surprise.
"It was the other day. You were still on a mission at the time, plus Zhao Jianfei was with you. So I didn't tell you about it. You know, there was some misunderstanding between Silver Wolf Michelle and Zhao Jianfei. Long Noon smiled bitterly, "So I hesitated again and again, but I still didn't tell you in time." But it's not too late, is it?"
"It just felt a little sudden. Lin Rui frowned.
"It wasn't sudden, you know, I always wanted it to end like this. I opened a few small restaurants to make ends meet, and then I went fishing in my free time, or I could learn to play golf. Do something that only retired old men do. Hehe, don't laugh, I'm serious. "Long Noon Road.
"I'm sorry. Lin Rui smiled, "But this is your personal choice, what can I say? You are a good boss." ”
"The Silver Wolves will do better than me. I know him, and he's always wanted an opportunity to prove to others that he's dominant not only on the battlefield, but also in business. Long said with a smile at noon.
"Perhaps, he may not be as good as you. But he has his characteristics. Lin Rui nodded.
"I still have a certain amount of shares in my hands, and I will gradually distribute these shares to you over a few years. In about four to five years, I'll hand over all my shares. Until then, I'm not fully retired, at least. Long Noon smiled.
"Why? But you deserve it. Lin Rui said in surprise, "Retired, even handed over all the company's equity?"
"I've always said that the Black Island Company belongs to everyone, not to me alone. I'm just a person in charge. Long Noon smiled, "This is something we have discussed when we chose to become mercenaries. I, the silver wolf, and the blue unicorn and Pluto of that time. We came up with the idea when we became mercenaries.
We talked about setting up a company, and then if we were lucky enough to live into retirement, we would give the shares to someone else. It's a trust and commitment, and I'm done with it, so I can easily unload my burden. From my point of view, I have made a lot of money in this business and have used it to develop my own industry. I can already live a worry-free life, so why not leave these things to the brothers who are still working hard?
From your point of view, it's also a wake-up call. We remind you that in our company, teams come first. The company does not belong to the individual, but to every brethren who fights for themselves. Many people in this industry have died, and a few people are alive, not because they are better than others, but because of the sacrifices of others who have made him excellent. ”
"Is this a resignation speech?" Lin Rui smiled.
"Even if it is, I just haven't been this happy in a long time. Long Noon smiled like a child.
"Congratulations, you fat man, you have retired. Still, you're good enough to put it down. Lin Rui and Long Noon hugged each other, patted his broad back, and said with a smile.
Long Zhengwu smiled, "It can only be said that it is a normal heart." It's up to you, Black Panther Guray, and Silver Wolf. ”
"I don't have to, I'm just a part-time worker. Lin Rui shrugged, "I can't be the boss." ”
"I don't want to be a boss either, but I'm okay. Long Noon sighed and said, "To be honest, I actually regret Zhao Jianfei's departure." Otherwise, the potential of the company will be even greater. It's a pity. ”
"Are you trying to say something?" Lin Rui turned his head to look at him and said.
"I mean, you don't get involved in anything that happens between the two of them. Long Noon turned his head and said, "This is their private matter, and I don't want to see the Black Island after I leave and start to split." You know what I mean. ”
Lin Rui looked at him and was silent for a while and said, "No." I don't know what happened between them, but I will never let this affect the whole of Black Island. ”
"That's fine. One more thing, the movement you guys have made in Russia this time is a bit big. I don't know what important information Zhao Jianfei and Aladdin stole from the Society, but the Society reacted very much anyway. They may be in trouble with you in the near future, so you better be prepared. Long Noon whispered.
