Chapter 1458: An Invitation from the Twilight Forest
Hearing Geoffrey's words, Cyril shook his head and suddenly came to his senses.
If he is dethroned, it means that he has been completely abandoned by Jeffrey, and he has since been excluded from the list of successors.
This is something that he absolutely cannot accept.
And when his eyes fell on the people in the audience who flattered him on weekdays, his face could not hide his disappointment and disgust at this time, and his mood sank to the bottom.
Cyril smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said: "I'm sorry, I was impulsive, it seems that everyone agrees with Gloria, as his uncle, I am happy about this, and I hope that she can serve as a director of the Chamber of Commerce and make more contributions to the Chamber of Commerce." ”
Cyril's beautiful words did not receive a positive response, but a loud roar rang out in the banquet hall.
Gloria looked at Cyril with a smile and said, "Thank you, Uncle Cyril, for clearing up misunderstandings about me, and I hope you can do your part with me for the children." ”
"I ...... Today, I will donate 1,000,000 copper coins to that foundation for the construction of the school building. Cyril's expression looked like he had eaten, but he nodded anyway.
Gloria continued to smile: "Then I thank you for those children, I can ask Mars to help you with the donation later, he is the person in charge of the connection between Dailan and the Foundation, he is familiar with this aspect, you only need to give him the invoice, he can help you do it." ”
"Okay." Cyril nodded with a dark face, then turned and walked off the stage quickly.
Today was a great humiliation for him, losing his wife and losing his army, and the question he had to think about now was not how to get Gloria out, but how to save his position in Jeffrey's heart.
Gloria was not in a hurry to step down, nor was she too excited about the victory in this vote, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your vote, I accept this result with surprise and trepidation, but taking the opportunity of the year-end meeting, I personally want to appeal here for the children who have not yet been able to enter school:
The students of the School of Chaos are about to go on vacation, which means that a new semester will soon arrive, and there are now at least 50,000 school-age children in the City of Chaos who cannot attend school, and the funds currently raised by the Foundation, as well as the expansion of the School of Chaos, can only accommodate 5,000 new students, and there is a huge shortage of teachers.
It is unfair to those children who cannot go to school unless they have extraordinary talents, and most of them are unable to study and can only do the most basic manual labor.
If the members of the Aden Chamber of Commerce present are interested in providing some assistance to these children, you can directly find Teacher Luna, or come to me, I hope we can do our part, so that more children can enter the school like your children, gain knowledge, and change their own destiny. ”
The banquet hall burst into long-lasting applause, people whispered conversations, and there was something new about the donation.
"Thank you." Gloria bowed to the crowd and gracefully stepped off the platform.
Soon a merchant approached her, and Mars, with a notebook and pen in hand, followed Gloria, and from time to time wrote down a name and a sum of money in the notebook.
"People who speak out for children's education like this have not yet appeared in our Los Empire." Count Abriham sat in the VIP seat, looked at Gloria and sighed.
"My father once said that ordinary people don't need to be too smart, if they are too smart, they will be difficult to manage, and those who think they are smart are even more troublesome." Vanessa whispered, paused, and added, "I don't think that's right. ”
Abrham nodded with a smile and said, "Those guys who think they are smart, they kill a batch from time to time and it's over, and it's just a group of clowns who jump off the beam." But I don't think it's a bad thing to let more people become smarter, the real smart people are civilized, know the law and abide by etiquette, but will spontaneously maintain order, just like most of the people in the chaotic city. ”
"Know the law and keep the courtesy." Vanessa was thoughtful, and after a while, she looked at Abraham again and asked, "Then Uncle Aberham, why don't you propose to your father that he correct it?" ”
"Your Majesty naturally has His Majesty's thoughts, and perhaps what he thinks is right." Abraham shook his head with a smile, picked up a piece of delicate pastry and fed it to his mouth, chewed it, and said, "I like to eat, drink and be merry, and I just talk nonsense about other things, who do you say will believe me?" ”
"Brother Sean, won't Brother Qiao Xiu either?" Vanessa asked.
"Sean is more like your father, while Qiao Xiu is more interested in magic than education, and they also like to obey and educate people who are not too intelligent." Abraham smiled and said, "You know, dealing with wise people can be more tiring than dealing with foolish people. ”
Vanessa looked at Abraham and smiled firmly: "I believe, I believe what Uncle Abraham said, the civilized empire built by smart people is the future of the Los Empire." ”
Abraham paused in his chewing movements, raised his eyes to look at Vanessa, and showed a little surprise in his eyes, but quickly threw half of the pastry in his hand into his mouth, and said with a relaxed smile: "You can talk about this in the City of Chaos, forget it, don't talk nonsense when you return to Luodu, especially don't talk to Your Majesty, otherwise he will definitely say that I brought you to the City of Chaos to teach you badly." ”
"My father said that women can't discuss politics, and I'm not interested in politics, but I think it's good to let children study, and after returning to Luodu, I decided to set up a school so that more ordinary children can also study." Vanessa said with a smile.
Abraham's eyes lit up, nodded and said: "I think it's very good, if you want to run a school, I support you, I will give you land, money, and build as many schools as you want." ”
"Uncle, are you going back to school with me?"
"Then how can it be, then I won't steal your limelight." Abraham smiled and waved his hand, "I'd better stay in the city of chaos to eat hot pot, masturbate skewers, and barely get by." ”
"Uncle, you're going too far." Vanessa looked at Abraham with some resentment, and most of her enthusiasm to return to her hometown to contribute to the cause of education was instantly extinguished.
"Ahem, look, I'm not old, how can I be an old man running back and forth." Abraham said with a look of course.
……
McGonagall is invited to Michael's box, where Michael is the only one.
Michael looked at McGonagall who came through the door and said with a smile: "Boss McT, I have one thing to inform you, if nothing else, the messenger of the Falk tribe will arrive in the City of Chaos tomorrow and invite you to the Twilight Forest to take charge of the cooking of the banquet dishes for Gally's coronation dinner." ”
