Chapter 52: Retirement

Two days later, Luo Guxing walked into the board of directors of Whale Fall City with a cold face.

The elders on the board heard the news of Luo Guxing's return the day before yesterday. It's just that Luo Guxing has been hiding in the room and not coming out or seeing guests, so today is the first time everyone has seen Luo Guxing himself.

"Lonely brother, you're finally back!" Inoue Insect Zhi smiled harmlessly at humans and animals, and took the initiative to greet Luo Guxing when he saw him.

With Inoue seniors taking the lead, all the veterans on the board of directors also greeted Luo Guxing kindly.

In contrast, Luo Guxing, as the youngest member of the board of directors, seems too impolite.

The seniors took the initiative to say hello to him, but he deliberately kept a straight face and didn't say a word, not even understanding the most basic etiquette.

As the executive director, Wu Qiong must come forward to resolve the embarrassment at this time. He first asked Luo Guxing to sit in the position closest to him.

Looking at a group of old-eyed and dizzy board members in the round table, Wu Qiong asked, "Manager Luo, do you have anything to say about the situation of expatriate infrastructure?" ”

"Nope." As his name suggests, Luo Gu is so cold that he can make the cold wind rise within ten meters of the surroundings. "Every day, I give back the progress. Anyone in doubt, just look at the daily returns. ”

The elders nodded kindly, smiling and not commenting.

But the more the patriarchs were so kind to the mud, the more Luo Guxing gritted his teeth with hatred!

Except for Wu Qiong and Luo Guxing, the average age of the other members of the board is over 60 years old.

These people are all the backbone talents that the old city lord Bai picked up back then, but now they are ready to protect themselves one by one.

To put it nicely, it is called a successful retirement.

These veterans have made contributions to Whale Fall City for more than 30 years. From the lifetime of the old city lord to the 25 years after the death of the old city lord Bai, it was these elders who made this space city with a population of 170,000 prosperous.

To put it bluntly, these old guys have made enough money and are about to run away.

Taking advantage of the change of the whale city, they are all ready to abandon the city. In the future, no matter whether the whale falls in the city dead or alive, it will have nothing to do with them!

On the board of directors, Luo Guxing is the only exception.

Luo Guxing was only in his early twenties when he first came to Whale Fall City for an internship, and he was still a college student who had not graduated. At that time, the old city lord of Bai was already weakening, and the decisions of the Whale Fall City gradually fell on Wu Qiong.

Wu Qiong's work to replace the old city lord Bai was not abrupt, and it took at least three years for the old city lord Bai to hand over the work to Wu Qiong little by little.

It is not so much that Luo Guxing is a closed disciple of the old city lord Bai, but that he is a rising star promoted by Wu Qiong.

It's a pity that as long as there are people, there will be party strife, and Whale Fall City is no exception.

Luo Guxing is not only a dozen years older than the other elders, but even the people who take him to the beginning are different from others.

Such a background is destined to make him ostracized. In the end, he had no choice but to take the initiative to ask for an expedition to Jupiter to build infrastructure.

The other patriarchs are at most incompatible, and Luo Guxing and these old slippery heads even save the point of playing on the spot.

He said bluntly: "Elders, are you planning to retire this year? ”

Inoue smiled kindly: "I'm 65 years old this year, and I can't do it." I'm going back to Earth and going to Hawaii to retire. ”

Luo Guxing sneered: "If it weren't for Whale Fall City to pay you so many years' salary, where would Inoue's seniors have the money to buy a forest villa in Hawaii." ”

Inoue Moji's expression froze suddenly, Luo Guxing didn't need to be so choking when he spoke!

The other patriarchs' friendly expressions gradually faded, and everyone's eyes looked at Luo Guxing with a little more hostility.

Luo Guxing is not afraid of offending people, anyway, these old guys are about to roll up and leave, and the life and death of Whale Fall City in the future has nothing to do with them.

Wu Qiong didn't want to offend people at such a time, he came forward to play a round and said: "It's not a kind of fate to get together and disperse." Thanks to the veterans who have worked hard for Whale City, the business of Whale City has not declined. ”

Without speculation, a board of directors finally ended up unhappy.

After the meeting, Wu Qiong took Luo Guxing back to his residence, and the two sat in the side hall and made a pot of tea.

Wu Qiong filled Luo Guxing with a cup of tea, and said helplessly: "The elders of the board of directors have made up their minds, they are all old, and I can't afford to keep them." ”

Luo Guxing doesn't like to hear this, he takes a sip of tea, and his hatred is undiminished!

"Since you want to go, why don't these old things leave sooner? They deliberately usurp board seats and don't give young people a chance to come in. Now that the money is enough, they just take the money and leave, and they don't care who will fall into the hands of the whale in the future! ”

Wu Qiong lowered his eyes and poured himself a cup of tea. "The responsibility is on me, I have been in charge of Whale Fall City for 25 years, and I have not been able to train my own subordinates. Now that the catastrophe is coming, the people and horses of the original old white city lord are naturally going their separate ways. ”

Luo Guxing rarely showed a little regret: "I can't blame you completely, you are subject to a lot of legal restrictions, and you happen to be exploited by these people." It is really difficult for you to be able to stabilize the original leadership team for nearly 30 years in such a difficult environment. ”

Wu Qiong smiled bitterly and asked, "You came back this time just for this matter?" ”

"It's not." Luo Guxing replied simply, "Actually, something is really wrong with Jupiter. ”

"Oh?" Wu Qiong raised his eyes and looked at Luo Guxing suspiciously.

Luo Guxing frowned and said, "I have received the news that the old president of the Ferry Horse Club has died. I don't know if it's the problem with the Ferry Club or if there's a problem with Snow Tooth. After President Chang's death, we haven't received supplies from Snow Tooth City for a month.

"At present, the self-circulation system on Jupiter's side has been fully completed, and even without the supply of Snow Tooth City, it can last for a few years. But it's definitely not okay to go without supplies at all, so I'll come back for a special trip, and tomorrow I'll go to Snow Tooth City to find Little Rose to ask about it. ”

Wu Qiong nodded slightly, expressing understanding: "The seven major families in space secretly united and went to Jupiter to build a base. It is a major matter, one is prosperous, and one is lost. Snow Tooth City and Ferry Horse Society, it's better for you to ask clearly. ”

The corners of Luo Guxing's mouth turned up, and then he said something eerie: "There is an extra resident policeman in Whale Fall City, Officer Zhuang won't be here to investigate the infrastructure of Jupiter, right?" ”

"It's not." Wu Qiong lowered his eyes again, and paused for a long time before saying, "It's me who has no way to teach my daughter, and this matter has wronged Manager Luo." ”

"I can't talk about grievances." Luo Guxing laughed at himself, "Bai Shuang and I weren't originally a proper bag...... What kind of lovers or something. However, I always felt that something was wrong. ”

Wu Qiong behaved very calmly, he poured another cup of tea for Luo Guxing and said: "Being able to detect something wrong shows that Manager Luo has a strong insight." Shuang'er shouldn't have appeared in this time and space at the same time as you, Shuang'er is twenty-five years old this year. ”

Luo Guxing's hand holding the teacup froze instantly, he looked at Wu Qiong fixedly, and his whole person was petrified in place.

Wu Qiong smiled indifferently: "I hope Manager Luo can understand that you can give your whole life to Shuang'er, but Shuang'er can't give her whole life to you." There are some things that are difficult to do. ”
