149. Crisis Progression 1 - Danger
On the white corridor, there was no dirt at all, and although people were constantly coming and going, the servant who was standing in the corner with a broom and ash bucket solemnly saw a trace of something strange on the ground, and immediately took up his "weapon" and pounced on it, quickly and neatly destroying the enemy, and the time was so short that no one would notice it at all.
Of course, the servants trained with a lot of money have to be used in important places, in the headquarters of the Cooper Chamber of Commerce, every nobleman in luxurious clothes wears hand-sewn clothes, and only the president of the small chamber of commerce can afford to wear clothes here, as long as it is a person above the manager, almost one per person.
"Gurgle...... Gurgle......"
The sound of high heels came from far and near, and the stewards who were laughing and talking saw the woman walking in the middle of the passage with their heads held high, and they all got out of the way, smiling and saying hello.
"Hello, Deacon Miranda. ”
"Miranda, it's just that you look a lot prettier again. ”
......
Similar compliments rang out, and Miranda just nodded faintly, counting it as a response, but she didn't say a word, and her footsteps never stopped.
Compliments, I've seen too much, from the initial little panic, to now it doesn't matter, it's just what I deserve, those guys who have despised me, despised me, and shouted that the Cooper Chamber of Commerce has no shortage of people like me are all gray and dare not show up.
One of them had to come to me to sign documents because of business, and as soon as he walked into my office, he fell to his knees and cried with a handful of snot and tears.
The shame of the past has finally been washed away, and the former unwillingness has finally been vented. However, weishenme I can't be happy, weishenme I feel betrayed someone.
The flattering crowd on both sides of Miranda seemed to disappear, and a familiar face appeared in front of him, so delicate, and his eyes made people look at ease, I wonder if he is okay now?
He had written a thick stack of documents for all the things to be explained and handed them to Grace, but he didn't dare to zaijian him, and Miranda was afraid that if he met Philip. I'm afraid I will be reluctant to leave.
Came to an end. The round table in the conference room was full of people, and Miranda tried to put a smile on her face so that others could not see her sadness just now, and the professional smile looked quite intoxicating.
Find a deacon you know well. Miranda smoothed the skirt. Sit down gracefully.
"What is the topic of today's meeting? I've been negotiating with several big chambers of commerce in Mandal for the past few days. Too late to read the meeting summary. ”
The middle-aged deacon sitting next to Miranda glanced enviously at the young senior deacon, negotiating with foreign chambers of commerce that would increase his ability and expand his contacts was only qualified to do it by Henry's most admired subordinates, but the middle-aged deacon did not dare to let Miranda see the look in his eyes. This young woman has some skill, or Henry would not have taken a fancy to her.
The middle-aged deacon smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a monthly deacon meeting." ”
Although the middle-aged deacon said it easily, the group of stewards who were outside the corridor just now could only stare at the door of the conference room, the deacon's meeting is the highest decision-making meeting of the Cooper Chamber of Commerce, and everything decided here represents the ultimate order of the Cooper Chamber of Commerce.
"The Elder is here. Somebody shouted, and the tables and chairs in the conference room suddenly rang out, and all the deacons and senior deacons stood up and saluted Henry Cooper.
With a smile on his face, the chubby Henry seemed to be in a good mood, waved his hand to sit down, and said with a smile: "Now that everyone is here, let's have a meeting, Vivian, and talk about the business of the quarry." ”
Relaxed, Henry with irresistible majesty, the deacon he named immediately began to speak, although the deacon's meeting is the highest decision-making body, but Henry has been in charge of the chamber of commerce for decades, and almost no one dares to disobey the deacon's meeting.
......
Every deacon in charge of affairs had to report, and Miranda ignored it, giving a brief and concise account of her negotiations with the Mandal merchants, and everything was under her control, much to Henry's satisfaction.
Although she was coerced and lured to join the Cooper Chamber of Commerce, Miranda would never put on a look that her body was in the Cooper Chamber of Commerce but she was in the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce, which was very taboo in any Chamber of Commerce.
Whether she likes it or not, Miranda has to put on a look of dedication to the Cooper Chamber of Commerce, which is good for Miranda's mother and daughter and Henry.
After speaking, Miranda closed her mouth, she did whatever Henry wanted her to do, never said a word, and never interfered in anything else, this can be regarded as Miranda's silent little protest to Henry.
Of course, Henry knew Miranda's thoughts, but in his opinion, Mirada belonged to the Cooper family after all, and as long as she stayed in the family chamber of commerce for a long time, she would naturally understand where her home was.
After everyone had finished reporting, Miranda was ready to go out as usual, and Henry said that she would go out immediately after the meeting, but for a few days, Henry did not say that the meeting was dismissed as usual.
Henry turned to a bespectacled Sven man at the conference table and said, "Bobby, tell me about the recent news about our opponents, especially that Philip in Lobit. ”
Miranda's heart skipped a beat, and Philip's name was particularly sensitive to her, and she couldn't help but turn her mind to the man named Bobby.
Miranda knew that this person, one of Henry's henchmen, controlled the intelligence network of the Cooper Chamber of Commerce, and Miranda felt particularly annoying when he saw him, but Poppy was talking about Philip, and Miranda still listened attentively.
"After Philip Cooper became a guest of the High Elves, he received a large investment from the Elven Kingdom, and the Magic Electric Chamber of Commerce used this capital to expand rapidly, swallowing up several magic crystal sellers in the nearby Gallia region, and taking most of the magic crystal sales in the Gallia and Lobit regions...... In addition, Lobit City maintains a low tax rate, which attracts many chambers of commerce, and in order to accommodate more chambers of commerce, Lobit has begun to tear down a wall and expand the city......"
It's all good news, Miranda laughed to herself, and although she had left Philip, she was still happy from the bottom of her heart to hear that the Magic Electrician Chamber of Commerce and Lobit were developing rapidly.
"It seems that this Philip still has some ability......" After listening to Bobby's report, Henry said slowly, his afterglow seemed to see Miranda's happy look, and said casually: "Miranda, you used to work in the Magic Electric Chamber of Commerce, tell me what kind of person Philip is." ”
Miranda's heart sank, this was Henry testing himself, looking around, the other deacons of the Cooper family were also looking at him, if he didn't answer well, he would probably have to stand aside in the Cooper Chamber of Commerce.
Absolutely not, the power that was finally obtained cannot be given up so easily, and our mother and daughter will never live a life of being bullied again.
However, if you really tell Henry all Philip's secrets, you will definitely not be able to pass this hurdle in your heart.
Miranda closed her eyes, no one in the conference room spoke, and it seemed that a pin could be heard if it fell on the ground, and the atmosphere began to tense.
"Philip is an extreme person. Miranda spoke, she opened her eyes, what to say, she already had a draft in her heart.
"Treat the person he thinks is a friend, this guy can be heartfelt, can be very kind to you, can put a hundred hearts to you, it can be said that he, his way of treating friends is too childish, and it is not clear that sometimes friends and enemies can be exchanged with each other. However, this guy is very ruthless to the enemy, like Stanley, who once took him away, Philip forced him to be devastated, and had to launch a life curse to deal with Philip, this too extreme way also led to George fulfilling Stanley's curse, being captured by the orcs, and then dying. ”
Miranda took a deep breath and continued: "So, I think, Philip is a very extreme person, and this bias comes from the fact that he always thinks that there are only good people and bad people on this shijie, and lacks the understanding of the middle ground, so to speak, Philip is a very simple person in a sense. ”
Simple, speaking of this, Miranda herself was stunned, yes, Philip is too simple, let himself go as long as he can, and there is no means to bind himself at all, thinking of this, Miranda's guilt is even stronger.
Henry nodded, very satisfied with Miranda's answer, Philip's personality had long been analyzed by the intelligence officers of the Chamber of Commerce, and Miranda's answer was very consistent with the analysis of the intelligence officers.
Henry turned to Poppy and said, "How's the guy we've got in Galia?"
"The assassins, warriors, and intelligence analysts are all in place, just waiting for your order. ”
Miranda suddenly came back to her senses, what was Henry trying to do Assassinating Philip? Miranda bit her lip tightly for fear that others would see her strangeness.
"No hurry," Henry waved his hand and said, "Let them be on standby, as Miranda said, Philip is a simple, simple person who will make a mistake in this shijie sooner or later, and once he makes a mistake, we will launch a deadly attack, and now, all we have to do is wait." Wait for the opportunity to destroy the heirs of House Rose. ”
Henry's face was flat, as if everything was under his control, and Miranda didn't like it, which reminded her of the day when she was forced by Henry to go back to the Cooper Chamber of Commerce, the night when she cried all night.
Henry is like a cheetah waiting for its prey to enter the ambush circle, and is targeted by such a cunning predator, will Philip be able to get out safely?
Miranda didn't have much confidence. (To be continued......)
