Chapter 363: Mortal Ambition
A dark golden airship slowly descended over the city of Rure.
Despite having seen it many times, many of the Rulei people couldn't help but stop and look up at the sky and smile proudly.
"This is the Lane Ford." One worker proudly pointed to the huge airship hovering in the air and introduced it to his children, "It is the fastest airship in the Empire, it can reach a speed of 800 cels per hour, you know, you Lao Tzu also participated in the construction of this airship, and I installed many parts on the cabin." ”
"Really? Can I go up and sit down? There was an innocent look in the child's eyes.
"Huh!" My father was speechless for a moment, and suddenly, remembering what had been been prumpeted in the newspapers recently, a smile appeared on his face:
"The empire is about to open a civilian airship business, and Lulei is going to build a big airport here, and when it is repaired, I will use my savings to take you and your mother to sit once, and when the time comes, you will be able to know what it feels like to fly into the sky."
"Take an airship!" The child clapped his hands and ran away, intending to tell his mother the good news.
The ship landed steadily on the private airship flat of the Lane Ford Society, and was greeted by a gray-haired butler. "Hello Miss, welcome home!" He leaned forward slightly, smiling as he greeted Irina as she stepped out of the cabin.
Irina didn't speak, but glanced at the butler with a little dissatisfaction, and the corners of her mouth pursed slightly. The old butler naturally understood that in such a public occasion, the eldest lady wanted to maintain her prestige.
However, after all, it was an old housekeeper who watched her grow up, and Irina quickly took the initiative to reconcile.
"Father, what's new lately?"
"The lord and the directors of the whole company are amazed by the progress made by the eldest lady."
Irina heard what she wanted to hear, and the corners of her eyes were filled with smiles. Just as she was about to ask a detailed question, the eleven brothers walked out with a giggle and interrupted her train of thought.
"Ah, I smell this familiar smell again!" Isaac opened his mouth exaggeratedly and took a sharp breath.
"What does it smell like?" Duchamp replied casually.
"The smell of steam, soot, rust, and the hustle and bustle of the factory is mixed in, or Lulei for short."
"The air in Lulei is indeed dirty, and every time I come, I have to get used to it for a long time before I dare to breathe with confidence."
"Come on, this air is still bad, when will I wear you to the imperial capital of another time and space, so that you can see what is called haze and what is called a hundred miles without a blue sky!" Duchamp sneered in his heart and asked Irina, "Do you want to go to the Green Leaf Club now, or to the Ryan Ford Society?" ”
The old housekeeper hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Miss, you haven't seen Alyssa for a long time, and besides, Mr. has just come back......"
"It's okay, I'm only delaying at the Green Leaf Club for a while, you go back and tell Alyssa first, saying that I'll go back at dinner."
After saying goodbye to the other classmates, Duchamp rubbed Irina's special car and went to the Green Leaf Club together.
Today, the shareholders of Green Leaf Society will meet together and negotiate the development of 1197. Duchamp looked at the speeding guide car, and there was a feeling of impatience in his heart.
I can see the road today.
Lu sent Goode out on purpose, and met Duchamp by the way.
When he saw the road again, Duchamp noticed that the big man's gaze had become deeper. Like a little giant, he stood on the steps of the two-story building of the Green Leaf Society, welcoming Duchamp's arrival.
The newly recruited female employee of the Green Leaf Society, curiously peeked through the window at the mysterious man who stood in the snow for several hours, by the way, I heard that he was also the most infrequent shareholder of the company.
Before the car could fully stop, Duchamp rushed out.
"Hahahaha, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you're not bad, it seems that your strength has progressed. Come on, come on, let's wrestle our wrists. ”
There was no sensational "brother", no hug greetings, Lu rolled up his sleeves as soon as they met, showing off his thick arms, completely unaware that his action had ruined the fantasies and longings of many young staff for several hours.
"Okay!" Duchamp smirked. He was in a stage where he had nowhere to vent his strength.
"Uh-huh!" Irina, who was accidentally left behind by Duchamp, dissatisfiedly reminded Duchamp that she was on a tight schedule.
Duchamp lowered his sleeves stupidly, dispersed a group of employees who were ready to watch the excitement, and walked to the conference room.
Due to the arrival of the road, the four major shareholders have rarely gathered, and the heads of various departments have specially reported this year's production plan, including the launch of the Walkman, the upgrading of other products, as well as the research and development of new products, market expansion and so on. Lu had been listening absentmindedly and absentmindedly raising his hand in agreement.
Big guys have something on their minds!
Luckily, Irina was also out of shape, and she quickly asked each supervisor about their work, ended the meeting with the fastest efficiency, and then sped away.
Serta and Duchamp discussed some more company trivia. The company was expanding rapidly, and she could no longer manage the company's administration vertically, so she planned to promote an administrative director.
"I think Lisa is good, it's good to promote her."
"Lisa is good, but the children at home are still young, and they are all very familiar with her, so I can't leave her for the time being." Serta explained in a slightly embarrassed whisper, lest the valet hear it upset, "I want to promote Emma and hire you another assistant." ”
Emma poked her head outside the door, thinking that she already knew the wind.
"It's up to you to decide this matter, I still have something to talk about with Lu."
On the road to rejuvenation and warmth, the road is still so habitually taking the lead. At a junction, Duchamp took two steps closer and asked, "Lu, have you encountered any problems lately?" ”
Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No." ”
Duchamp gave him a reproachful look.
"However, before coming to Zhulai, I explained all the affairs of the Green Forest Mercenary Group to Ah Wu, and after a while, I plan to go back to Zhulai."
"Julai!" Duchamp couldn't help but be stunned.
"Julai!" Goode looked at his brother in surprise.
For a moment, Duchamp remembered how embarrassed he had landed in that deserted town, and that unforgettable meal, and the bloody figure on the road under the stars.
The expression on Goode's face froze, and his thoughts wandered far, far away, while the warm courtyard was still there, and the home was still there.
Lu looked up and looked at the clouds floating in the blue sky without saying a word.
For a while, three people stood on the street stupidly. After a while, Lu still laughed out loud.
"Time flies so fast, it's been two years in a blink of an eye."
"yes, it's been almost two years!" Duchamp muttered in response.
Needless to say, he had fully understood Lu's thoughts.
Man is a noble animal by nature. When they worry about making ends meet, they only have time to think about how to get their next meal. And when food and clothing are satisfied, people are bound to do something that can satisfy their greater ambitions, such as revenge.
Duchamp hesitated for a while, but still persuaded in a low voice: "I haven't persuaded you well before, but today I want to seriously persuade you, there are too many uncertain things in this world, and no one really has the ability to control their fate, and letting go is the guarantee of survival in this world." ”
Lu clasped his hands, looked at the blue sky, and said faintly: "We can't let go at all, sooner or later we have to make a break." ”
(A new volume, let me think about it for a moment)
