Chapter 9 Confrontations at Meetings

Entering the conference room, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the room, the chair in the middle was empty, and the one sitting on the left hand side was Walter Steele, a black uncle who had met at the funeral, and would marry Moira to become Thea's stepfather in the future, I don't know if there is any talk in Europe and the United States, anyway, this gentleman will live in the Quinn mansion with his mother and daughter in the next few years.

It's a bit weird to describe a black man as gentle as jade, but this uncle is indeed very personable, and he gave Thea an encouraging look like he looked at his juniors.

Although this is his own company, but after all, it has not fallen into his own bowl, Thea is here to worship the dock today, and she must not have a cold face, and she nodded and said hello in the face of the black uncle's overture, "Mr. Steele, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Please call me Walter, and welcome to the Group. Walter was a little flattered by the politeness to Thea, who had the impression that the girl kept her distance from everyone but old Robert, and that normal conversations like this had only appeared in very private situations before.

Moira is also surrounded by happiness now, and her daughter can communicate with her boyfriend normally, which is a good start, isn't it! She has been avoiding Walter lately, and she is afraid that her elusive daughter will see some scenes that she shouldn't see, and she will be too stimulated and completely broken.

After all, a fifteen-year-old girl, her father and brother have just died, and she hasn't eased up, and you tell her that it's not your father who died, but your own father is so-and-so, and after two days, you tell her that your mother is going to find you a stepfather again. Anyway, Moira thinks that if she changes to the role of her daughter, she will have to go to the Arkham Asylum next door for treatment, but looking at Thea's strong appearance now, is it really Malcolm's genes that make her tenacious beyond ordinary people?

Next, I kept introducing the people in the room to my daughter, this is so-and-so from the administration department, who is this from the finance department, and after a circle of introductions, Thea found out that Walter was still the original vice president of the company, remembering that he should take over the position of president, and his mother was in charge of finance, did he remember wrong or did history deviate?

Soon Thea received her position, the assistant to the president, commonly known as the little secretary, and the president was her mother.

In fact, she remembered correctly, it was indeed a small change in the plot here, originally the relationship between Moira and Walter warmed up quickly, from colleagues to friends to boyfriends to marriage, one day at a time, the two added up to almost eighty years old and played a flash marriage. The board of directors saw that the wood was in place and passed Walter's order to become president.

And now because of Thea's father's exposure plan, Moira has been accompanying her daughter, and her boyfriend can only stand aside, so the relationship between the two has not reached that point, and she doesn't want to arrange her charming daughter next to her mother's boyfriend fiancé, her own relationship is already messy enough, so don't make any more trouble!

Under the trade-offs, Moira can only be the president by herself and train her daughter by the way, in fact, she is really not interested in this position, but for the sake of her daughter, she can only do it hard.

The next meeting was boring, this department had to raise salaries, and that department had to lay off employees, although it could not be said to be trivial, but it was also a daily triviality for the group company.

Moira kept an eye on Thea, for fear that she would be bored and yawn, but she didn't expect her daughter to sit upright, constantly listening to the speeches of several executives, without the slightest impatience, and constantly recording something in her notebook.

My family has a daughter who has just grown up, and Moira is very relieved, and she is quite relieved that her daughter is like herself.

The meeting lasted for an hour, and Moira made a summary, saying that the conference was a successful conference and a victorious conference, and hoped that comrades would continue to shine for the company, and you could kneel in peace.

When he was about to serve tea to the guests, a middle-aged man with a roe head and mouse eyes smiled and said, "Miss Quinn, I don't know what you think about the first time you are attending our meeting?"

Oops, Thea immediately judged in her heart that this person was not dealing with her mother, or the Quinn family. What can you say about yourself as a newcomer? If you are right, others will say that you are arrogant, and if you are wrong, you will be a laughing stock in vain, this is bullying yourself to be young and not understand these workplace traps!

"Mr. Andre, I'm new to the company, and I don't know anything about the company, and I can't even make ordinary suggestions, let alone high opinions, you laugh. Thea replied politely.

I didn't expect the little girl of the Quinn family to be fooled, this is much stronger than her dumb brother, the roe head rat-eyed man is still a little unwilling, and continues to say, "It's okay, just talk about it, we are all your father's old subordinates, and we are all your elders, and everyone won't laugh at it." After speaking, he also snorted a haha, saying that he was very open-minded.

Ah, what do you mean that people don't know how to laugh at it? The old lady hasn't said anything, you define it as a joke! Thea's heart is angry.

Flipped through his notes, hey, this grandson is the director of the weapons development department that he has coveted for a long time, old Robert really doesn't see people very well, this person is obviously dissatisfied with his own family, such a person has stayed for three years, the weapons development department is too important to his future, he must let him get out.

"Mr. Andrey, I really don't have any advice for the company, but... I have a question I would like you to help me answer. Thea said slowly.

"Please Say"

"You just mentioned in the report that you want the group to increase investment in the weapons research and development department, right, I took a look at the group's investment in the weapons development department in recent years, and it has increased by about 20% on the basis of the previous year, why is this number so coincidental?"

Hearing that it was this question, the man named Andre breathed a sigh of relief, "There is a scientific basis for this, why the 20% increase can only be said to be a coincidence, I explained it to the vice president." "The implication is that it's very complicated here, and I'm afraid you don't understand, a little girl.

Walter nodded his head to indicate that he knew about it.

Thea was very calm, which was within her expectations, "Mr. Andre has been in charge of the weapons research and development department since three years ago, but in the research and development report of the past three years, 19 technologies have been declared in 04, 12 in 05, and 17 in 06, is the strength of our technical personnel fluctuating greatly?"

Andrei had a little premonition that she was going to say something, but when the words came to this point, he could only hold on, "Yes, it's a big ups and downs, and scientific and technological research is like this!"

Thea laughed, "This G-12 anti-load suit declared in 05 is a special clothing for high overload protection, why is it that what was researched two years ago is mixed with a lot of research projects in your report just now and asks for the group to fund research?
