Chapter 815: Think Carefully
"It's your department chief...... And also...... Oh, it's Mr. Doolin!", Alice's mother exclaimed, apparently not expecting to see such two great men here. Well, the big guy, although Nomira is a bit of a friendly and easy to use background board in Doolin's eyes, but she always has a hint of mystery and authority in the eyes of ordinary people, including the middle class, and is a big man.
Alice withdrew her gaze from the tail lights of the luxury fleet, which were almost invisible, and she looked up curiously and asked, "Mom, do you know that young man?"
Her mother didn't know whether to sigh or sigh, but she let out a cloudy breath and touched Alice's head, "Of course, you never read the newspaper when you work in the government? Speaking of this, Alice looked at other places with some embarrassment, her mother had said this more than once, but she always took it as a deaf ear, and after a while, it passed, and nothing was left behind, and now it seems that it is indeed time to make up for it.
"The young man's name was Durin, a very remarkable young man, an iconic figure in his own right, who had been mayor of the city of Otis and had a big business estate, and most importantly he had made it all out of nothing. He did not have a family worthy of the envy of others, he was only a farmer, but now he has such brilliant achievements, it is said that he has a very good relationship with Prime Minister Maggs, and is friends with many cabinet members. There's been so much news about him these days that I can't even say it, my dear, it's time for you to take your life seriously. ”
"Now, let's say hello to your chief. Alice was still in a daze when her mother dragged her up and walked towards Nomira, who had just straightened up, her cute little face full of youthful atmosphere instantly turned pale, she struggled for a while, but Nomira had already looked at them, and the struggle was useless, so she could only keep her head down and follow behind her mother.
In addition to Alice's very good academic performance, the family spent a lot of money to dredge up the relationship, on the one hand, the hospital opened a letter of recommendation, and on the other hand, it also gave a big gift to the examiner who is responsible for recruiting new employees every year.
Although all this is not directly related to Nomila, Alice's family has always maintained a good friendship with Nomila - whenever it is a holiday, they will prepare a gift of about eighty or ninety to one hundred yuan to send to Nomila's home, which is why Nomila is "optimistic" of Alice.
Sometimes competence is one thing, but more importantly is the ability to execute, and the two are definitely not the same thing.
"Lady Nomira, it's a pleasure to meet you......", Alice and her mother stood on the side of the road and bowed, as people have always said, aristocratic things are rotten feudal dross should be abandoned, everyone is advocating the handshake ceremony, but the handshake is never as good as the etiquette of bowing and bowing to make the recipient feel more comfortable.
Nomira didn't feel any of her strength in the face of Doolin, it was because Doolin was too strong, strong enough to easily destroy everything she had, including her career. When she saw Alice and her mother, she suddenly thought of the morning in the office, and the girl was probably in the same way as she had just been.
But she was more fortunate than Alice, because she was given the opportunity, although there were some things that would allow her to be "allegiance" to Dorin, such as the need to consult Dorin's opinion before making certain sensitive decisions. It's not a burden on her, she has nothing left anyway and doesn't care about losing more.
Durin's affirmation of her made her feel very good now, so good that she felt so beautiful and sunny this evening, as if the whole world was different.
"Hello, ma'am, and ......", Nomila glanced at Alice, the corners of her mouth slightly curled, "Alice." ”
Alice's mother was very happy, she pointed to her and her daughter's seats, "We were drinking tea over there, and when we saw you and Mr. Doolin, we wanted to come and say hello, so we ...... so as not to disturb you and Mr. Doolin."
Nomira interrupted her, "I understand, it's normal, it doesn't matter. She glanced at Alice again and said to her mother, "Madam, Alice is doing very well at work, which is a gratifying thing, she has lived up to her studies all these years, and she has not become lax after getting a good job. We'll need to go west in a while, and I'll probably bring some people over to preside over the work, do you think Alice will be able to adapt to life in the west?"
Alice's mother was overjoyed, "Of course, this child has a strong independence from an early age, and I believe she can adapt and handle this." ”
Nomira raised her watch and glanced at it, and Alice's mother knew it was time to leave, and after watching Nomila drive away after a few more gestures of gratitude, she withdrew her gaze and became excited. The mother and daughter drank tea for a while and then went home, and she didn't say anything all the way, but there was a kind of fire in her eyes.
In the evening, she sat at the dresser and groomed herself after playing a game of praising with her husband and winning the war as a female gunner. Her husband, who had been badly wounded in the war, gasped for breath and asked intermittently, "What's wrong with you? I've rarely seen you show such skill, I can't even fight back, damn it, I'm the most powerful warrior in the Empire." ”
"I ran into Nomira ...... during my evening walk," her words immediately caught her husband's attention, "and she said that she would ask the West to preside over the work after a while, and that she might take Alice with her, and that it was a rare opportunity, and we had to do something." ”
The word presiding over work has many meanings, and it can be interpreted literally as a manager to do a job, but when the word is used in the mouth of a politician, it may mean the expansion of power. As an elite member of society, it is clear that her husband is also aware of this.
He took a few steps back and forth, "You're right, honey, what are we going to do, how much money do we have in the bank?"
"It's about 10,000 yuan. ”
The man gritted his teeth, "Take out half of it, we're betting!"
The woman looked at her husband in the mirror and smiled very charmingly, she put down the comb and stood up, walked up to her husband and gently pushed, "The war has not stopped, dear ......"
In fact, when Nomila saw Alice after sending Durin away, her first thought was to repay the favor, of course, she didn't think that a girl who might have a little grace and was very young and lively could impress a person like Durin, not to mention a young girl at this level, even a woman with three sources of life gushing could be found, let alone just a young girl? Her idea was to take Alice to meet Kevin, she knew that Kevin was very good, in all aspects, but she couldn't control her desires in women.
If she can use Alice to make Kevin feel her sincerity, and even make Alice a ribbon, a ribbon that ties her and Kevin together, she will be able to get closer to Durin, and get closer to the interest group headed by Dulin, and lay a good foundation for herself in the political arena. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that is a young man who has a relationship with Mags, with the cabinet, with many big names in the empire, even Mr. Keller has to keep a low attitude towards Duhring, how many opportunities in a person's life can be so infinitely close to the top of society, close to the "truth"?
No, most people don't have this opportunity in their lifetime, if it weren't for her husband who abandoned her and was in the middle of a divorce that made her feel that she didn't have any charm, she would even be willing to serve Kevin herself, or Doolin in exchange for a bigger future!
Cheapened that little girl, who made this girl the only character she can handle now? Why didn't she want children in the first place? If you want children, it's better to be a daughter, maybe .......
Back at home, Nomila wakes up the sleeping Mr. Horn from the bottom of the delicate dressing box, and now she needs a complete relaxation.
At the same time, he returned to the manor and Durin took a bath and lay down in bed, he had done one thing today, and he was going to meet the people of the Southern Commercial Bank tomorrow, none of these people were good. The fact that the Southern Commercial Bank did not show any strong aggression in this matter does not mean that they are not aggressive. Excluding Doolin from the insurance industry was not something Taylor could decide alone, except for the puppets who needed to vote dispensable, and Bellito was the one who cast the crucial vote.
Or rather, the Southern Commercial Bank behind Bellito, who cast a crucial vote and decided to send Durin out of this playground and make him an outsider. Now these people from the South Commercial Bank have shown their innocence and treated him with a different face, what does it mean?
It shows that in the face of eternal interests, only eternal interests can be confronted.
In this game, no one is innocent, everyone is not a good thing, and all that remains is to see who has more flexible means.
So Du Lin dug a hole and prepared to push the Southern Commercial Bank forward, of course, this may not make the Southern Commercial Bank lose too much, but it can make them understand that there is a price to pay for voting for Taylor.
In this world, anyone has to pay for their actions, sooner or later.
