"Doctor Zhou, can you enjoy a meal together in the evening?" In the island clinic, An An had just changed her clothes and was about to get off work, when Michael suddenly walked over and invited sincerely.

An An looked at Michael, smiled and declined: "I'm sorry, I'm going back to the boulder camp today, and you also know that our friend's affairs still have to be dealt with." ”

"The decision has come down, and your friend has only been fined forty pounds. If you really want to go back and see, how about we wait until we finish eating, and I'll send you back myself? ”

"Well, forget it, thank you for your kindness, Dr. Michael." An An politely refused again.

Michael, who has always been very popular among girls, is the first time that he has been so politely rejected by a girl, you must know that with his family background and his own appearance, I don't know how many young and beautiful girls take the initiative to come forward, so although he was rejected by An An, he still said without giving up: "Is Dr. Zhou worried about being known by that person named Han Dong?" ”

An An said with an embarrassed face, "It's not, it's just this ......"

"We're just having a meal together, and we don't mean anything else, even if Han Dong knows about it, he shouldn't say anything, right? If you really don't think it's right, then we can call another doctor in the clinic. ”

Under Michael's repeated invitations, An An really couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he reluctantly agreed to Michael's invitation.

Soon night fell, and the tobacco companies were full of lights to welcome all the people, such as Duke Jackson, Governor James, and Commander Sandrow.

As the host, Yang Biao has been busy with Zhang Luo, the smugness on his face can be seen at a glance, and looking at his posture of slapping the horse, I estimate that this grandson was also a sleek man who saw the wind and steered the rudder before the shipwreck happened.

Soon the dinner officially began, Yang Biao first said a few toasts, and then took the initiative to invite Duke Jackson to speak a few words for everyone, Jackson at first refused, but couldn't stand a pompous compliment from the people below, and finally stood up.

"This tobacco company was originally the property of Count Soros, but unfortunately, Mr. Mathieson, who was in charge of running the tobacco company, had an accident, and Mr. Count was very sad, so he simply sold the company to me, so as not to think about it in the future. I am an official of the empire who does not know much about business, and thanks to the trust of the queen, I am also very busy with official business, so I decided to hand over the company to Mr. Yang Biao. During his previous tenure as a cabinet official on the island, his ability was obvious to all, and I hope that the tobacco company can make greater contributions to the development of the island under his leadership, and I hope that everyone here can support it. ”

After the duke's official remarks, the people below immediately responded with thunderous applause, the duke was obviously very useful, he waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "It is not easy for Paradise Island to develop from a nameless and desolate island to what it is today, everyone here has made great efforts, but Paradise Island still has many deficiencies that need to be improved, especially in terms of economic development. Although Paradise Island is the farthest territory from the mainland of the Empire, Her Majesty the Queen attaches great importance to the development of Paradise Island, and this time the choice to abolish slavery on Paradise Island can be seen, so everyone here must not live up to Her Majesty's expectations. ”

I don't know if it's because the people below are good at slapping, or if Duke Jackson is used to this kind of lengthy speech, all in all, he Rory said a lot, but most of it was some nonsense, the people below patted his ass, and he took the opportunity to pat the queen's ass, I was groggy to hear it, and my stomach was grumbling with hunger.

Finally, Jackson's own dry mouth ended his nonsense, and the dinner party officially began.

I didn't sit at a table with Jackson because I didn't hold a half-official position, and I tried to go up to talk to Jackson several times but were unsuccessful, and a group of people lined up to toast him, and Jackson himself probably didn't have enough to eat.

After a staggered glass of wine, the dinner ended in a lively and friendly atmosphere, and I saw that I had no chance today, so I was about to leave, but Jackson suddenly stopped me in the back.

When the guests were almost gone, even James and Sandro were gone, Jackson called me and Yang Biao to his side, and after holding back left and right, Jackson first asked me, "How is your friend now?" You should be glad you were only fined forty pounds, right? ”

I said, "It's a pity that Tina was sentenced to a heavy sentence, and my friend was not happy even though he was released." ”

"He should be glad to know that this is a dead man! Although the girl took the blame for him, if you have to investigate it more seriously, your friend also did it, so it can be regarded as jointly and severally responsible. ”

"What about the forensic report? Why can't it be used as a basis for a penalty? Perhaps that person simply died of his own illness. ”

"Now that they have already been guilty, why bother thinking so much? Besides, you're going to decide that Dr. Michael won't change his report? If he confirms that the person did not die of his own disease, then will you say that the medical report is not credible? Jackson patted me on the shoulder and said, "People have to learn to be content, and many things are not what you want to be." ”

Jackson's statement basically put the coffin on the matter of the big bear, and it is impossible to overturn the re-judgment estimate, and I don't want to waste my words, so I didn't continue to ask after he finished speaking.

Seeing that I didn't ask any more questions, Jackson had a satisfied expression on his face, and he continued: "I admire both of you very much, so I handed over the distillery and tobacco company to you, and I don't care what method you use, as long as it does not violate the laws of the empire, you must develop the distillery and tobacco company." ”

"But Lord Duke, you shouldn't be short of money, are you? Why bother? I asked.

"I am not short of money, but Paradise Island needs to be developed, and only when the commercial and industrial system is established can Paradise Island have enough tax revenue to carry out construction. Don't forget, in addition to being a duke, I am also an official of the empire, and I have Yiwu and the responsibility to make every inch of the empire prosperous. ”

"Lord Duke, please rest assured, I don't know what Manager Han plans to do, but I will definitely do my best to run the tobacco company well, and I will definitely live up to your trust." The man with glasses said flatteringly.

"Well, it's good to have that determination." Jackson nodded with satisfaction, "It's a kind of fate that we can get to know each other, and I'm sure I won't look away." ”

I originally thought that Jackson deliberately left me and the glasses man behind to have something important to say, or he planned to find out his true identity directly with us, but I didn't expect that after Rory talked about it for a long time, it was all some scenes, and I really wanted to ask him directly if he was not affected by the change in the world.

After saying some innocuous words, we finally ended the meaningless conversation, and we sent Jackson to the door of the tobacco company, and before Jackson got into the carriage, he suddenly turned back to us and said: "Finally, I will send you a few words of encouragement that I particularly like, there will be many accidents in life, and you may fall into a situation that you have never been exposed to, and when you are powerless to change, it may be the best choice to go with the flow." ”

After speaking, Jackson got into the car and drove away, the man with glasses and I glanced at each other, our inner thoughts at this time should be similar, Jackson's last few slightly abrupt words make people think about it very scary, is our guess true?
