Chapter 33: See through your acting skills at a glance

In the "King's Restaurant" on the 60th floor of the Grumman Building, Weiss's sincere words suddenly made the atmosphere extremely awkward.

At the critical moment, Cheap Daddy said solemnly: "With the support of Grumman Group, the president and the directors, the traditional industry of the Clumber-Haysen family will definitely be carried forward." Dragon, you must not live up to the high expectations of the president and the directors, concentrate on your military studies, strive for good grades, and do not need to be distracted by other things, understand? ”

How could Weiss not understand such an obvious hint? But the question is...... Even if he bows his head and says "understood", the big guys here will be able to give up? Even if he bows his head and says "understood", will the Grumman Group's plan to completely annex the Clumber-Haysen family business change?

After thinking for a moment, Weiss held his head high and said: "I will definitely go all out in my military academy studies, because my ambition since childhood is to become a professional soldier, an excellent officer, and a commander who commands thousands of troops on the battlefield!" One day, either to achieve fame or to sacrifice my life for the country, I will definitely make the entire Clumber-Haysen family proud of me! ”

The voice fell, and the audience was silent.

In a pair of eyes, the expression of expression quietly changed.

Weiss's gaze was level with the front, and his eyes met with the big boss of the Grumman Group.

The old man's eyes were not cloudy, but as bright as a young man, and he looked at Weiss for a moment, and said in a calm tone: "A young man has great ambitions, and he often has the will of heaven." ”

This remark seems to give people a positive and negative feeling, but the speaker has an unfathomable look on his face, and his true intentions make Weiss feel elusive.

At this time, looking around, the five directors still had their faces strained and did not relax, and the expression of the fat vice president was also a little uncertain.

If this table is seen as a battlefield of competing interests, this lunch is a battle without the smoke of gunpowder, and Weiss is somewhat relieved that he is not alone, and he has a cheap dad who has seen some of the world by his side and is unwavering in his support.

"The young son is young and arrogant, which makes everyone laugh!"

This sentence made the atmosphere change slightly. Indeed, the age of this person is at least 40 years old, with their experience and status, is it necessary to deal with a fledgling boy?

After a short but terrifying silence, the big boss finally said something that eased the atmosphere: "It's okay! For all of you, there are not many opportunities to hear such heartfelt words. ”

As soon as the president said this, the wind direction finally began to change.

"The Most Handsome Director" muttered: "I remember that General Lake, the 'undefeated god of war' who led his army to sweep through the countries nine hundred years ago, once taught his children and grandchildren: The real enemies of life are not those brave soldiers who oppose you on the battlefield for the sake of the country and the nation, but those despicable people who are obedient on the surface and stab the knife in secret at the first opportunity, because the former brings out your excellence, but the latter makes you die without a place to be buried. ”

At this point, the handsome veteran paused: "Ladies and gentlemen, if this heir of the House of Clumber-Haytham had been subservient to us, and had not been the slightest displeased in his words and deeds, I would have thought that he was either a useless wretch, or a terrible conspirator, and he had just behaved...... Well, it's quite daring, and there is a bit of manhood. In this way, there is some hope for the revitalization of the Klumber-Haysen family in the hands of his generation. ”

Immediately afterwards, the most military-minded "national character face" at the table said: "Old Henry, your ideas have always been different from ordinary people, and sometimes the town wonders which side you are on. Well, I think you have a point, if the heirs of the Clumber-Haysen family don't even have the slightest bit of courage, how can they make a career in the military? ”

Although the "national character face" topped his point just now, the senior handsome guy just snorted lukewarmly.

The fat vice president also lost no time in interjecting: "Throughout the ages, all talented people have been more or less eccentric. In the case of our national hero, General Castillier, who is so admired by the people, he was unwilling to deign to come, so much so that his portrait was never hung on the wall of fame in our 'King's Restaurant', and it is said that our chef, Mr. Dunk, regretted this! ”

The rest of them, although their expressions softened, were still silent.

After a while, the big boss turned his head to Weiss's cheap father, the current Lord Clumber Haisham, and said in a slow tone: "Lord, we have known each other for more than forty years! Let's not talk about it in the past few years, let's just say that in the past two years, we have changed from competitors to partners, and we should have worked together to seek common development, but based on the influence of some of our previous strategies and practices, the relationship between the Grumman Group and the Clumber-Haytham family has not been reversed, so that there have been some unnecessary frictions and disputes. Why can't we join hands with the Clumber-Haysen family and climb to a new peak in history? ”

The cheap dad looked respectful, and Weiss, who was sitting opposite, was shocked by the extraordinary bearing shown by the big boss...... After many years of being in charge of this huge "military-industrial empire", it is really not a general person to let the capable generals with various ambitions unite under the banner of Grumman at least on the surface!

Looking at the directors at the table again, their faces were as clear as the sky after the rain, and the previous gloom was swept away, which made Weiss jump a little: Could it be that he had no intention of inserting willows, and the effort of a meal cleared the biggest obstacle for the ice-breaking breakthrough of the Clumber-Haysen family?

Is it really that simple?

If it weren't for the fact that it came with a friend-or-foe identification system that seemed to be chicken ribs on weekdays and could come in handy at critical times, Weiss would have almost believed it. He narrowed his eyes silently. Boy! The virtual frame that jumped in front of me, except for the fat vice president, which was white, the rest were eye-catching red. Whether it is the big boss who is suddenly magnanimous, or the senior handsome guy who seems to be righteous, and the national character face who echoes the voice, they are all hostile to themselves - and even to the Clumber-Haysen family. In other words, if the fate of himself and the Clumber-Haytham family were to be voted on by the Grumman Group board of directors, the result would probably be six votes to death, one abstention, and possibly even unanimous death!

A pack of greedy wolves! Weiss scolded viciously in his heart.

"The president's words are wrong." "A year and twenty-seven days ago, I signed a franchise agreement on behalf of the Clumber-Haysen family in the president's office and officially became a member of the Grumman Group. Since then, we have been a part of the Grumman Group, and everything we do is to work together with the Grumman Group to seek common development, so why change our position and attitude from now on? ”

If the cheap dad doesn't make a move, he will slap his face when he makes a move, which makes Weiss, who is depressed, want to stand up and applaud loudly.

This counterattack blow made the directors suddenly feel that they couldn't hold their faces, but the big boss just frowned, and then laughed heartily: "The lord said it well!" From today on, we should no longer divide each other, and we can no longer engage in internal competition, but we must put our hearts and minds in one place, and continue to grow the strength of the Grumman Group, until it surpasses the Star Group and becomes the largest and strongest military industrial complex in the Ulster Free Federation and even on this planet! ”

The words are nice, Weiss squinted his eyes and meowed, but there was not a bunch of red frames in front of him! You sanctimonious guys are just a bunch of selfish, self-righteous stinky tomatoes and rotten eggs, and with your intriguing virtues, you still want to become the strongest military industrial body, thank God if you don't go downhill!
