65 Inheritance and Interviews
"You say, did the president convince Egger at all?"
Looking out the window, the old man entered the carriage and hurried in the direction of Chelsea Manor.
Vice President Victor said with a little apprehension to von der Leyen, the old examiner not far away, "I really can't think of how he can persuade Iger to stay." β
"Maybe the president won't persuade at all."
The old examiner was reading a book at his desk, and he said without raising his head when he heard the words: "You don't know that compared with individual geniuses, the president values the strength of the collective more. β
"Without the leadership of excellent individuals, the collective is just a swarm of headless flies, or a rabble."
The balding Victor denied: "I don't believe the president will not understand this truth." β
"But if he really doesn't have the qualifications to retain people, of course he won't waste this effort."
The old examiner said: "For example, the girl named Fiona in the first two years, although the wizard talent is not as good as Egger, it is also a rare genius, and the comprehension of potions is even more amazing. When you were recruited by the Motan family, did you see the president and keep you? β
"And the one who came before ......"
He gave several examples in a row, and the names are very clear, which shows that these people are not ordinary people.
In fact, although half-blood wizards generally have poor qualifications, universal does not mean everything.
The base is large, and there will always be a few outstanding geniuses being excavated every year.
Although they are not as good as the top talent of "Egger", they are good enough.
It's a pity that once these people are exposed, they will basically be recruited by pure-blood families, and it is difficult for the association itself to retain these geniuses.
That's why the old examiner would hide the talent of "Egg" before and not let others know.
But now, because of last night's incident, this talent has been revealed, so he feels that, according to convention, eighty percent of this talent is going to be gone.
I can't keep it, instead of forcibly keeping it, it's better to be a favor and support his choice in the past, so that I can still have a favor.
"But I always think the president will change his mind this time." The balding Victor disagrees on this.
"Not to mention, Egger is very lucky, and I think that if he is here, the association's luck in this regard will become particularly good."
"What fortune?"
The old examiner laughed when he heard this: "That's Egger's hard-earned reward at the risk of his life, and it's not that he really got it from Kevin." β
"Besides, if the president is really the kind of person who cares about money, our association will not have established a product research and development department for so many years...... You see, the meteorological association, within a few years of its establishment, has developed a magic pocket watch that can make money, may the people in our association be worse than them? β
It seems to be the truth......
Victor was depressed when he heard this, but he remembered the way he looked at Egg when he was in the living room.
He unconsciously rose up with a wave of hope.
"A person who can give 300,000 yuan to his friends from 500,000 families is much more worth keeping than those before him."
He said, "The president was surprised when he heard about it before, and I think he was particularly interested in that. β
Of course, Victor didn't know that the 300,000 that Melen gave to Arthur was falsely obtained last night, and thought that Melen was "eating the old book" and simply using most of his hard-earned assets to do good deeds.
So this matter, in the eyes of him and others, is very unusual.
"But there are some things that you can't pay attention toβ"
Before the old examiner's words were finished, they came to an abrupt end.
It was only because he heard a commotion coming from the hall on the first floor outside.
The young wizards in the hall had been talking about last night, and the short, pure-blooded wizard was the loudest.
And now, they suddenly let out a cheer, and then the noise came out a little messy.
Obviously, a certain person who was being discussed had come out of the parlor and was discovered.
However, it didn't take long for all the noise outside to suddenly subside, as if something had caused the enthusiasm of the group of young wizards outside to disappear in an instant.
"What, am I not right? Regardless of where to go now, when will it be? β
The voice of the short man with pure blood made the two middle-aged and elderly people in the office instantly understand, and they glanced at each other, each with different expressions.
"I was talking to our group of children a moment ago, but now it's a prototype."
Victor was very indignant about this, "Look, this is pureblood, arrogant to the limit!" β
β¦β¦
There were quite a few purebloods visiting today, but most of them just left the invitation and left.
The small number of those who stayed and waited was not many.
After all, the mixed-race association is still very different from the banquet venue last night, the latter is basically pure-blooded, and the former is full of half-bloods.
Being stared at by this group of "inferior people", even though the purebloods who came to visit were very curious about Melen, they also had to consider their own ranking problems, and unconsciously put up a shelf.
So those who were in the hall before were mainly young mixed-bloods in the association, supplemented by a few pure-bloods who didn't care about "decency".
Now, however, a pure-blood, despite the presence of a large number of half-bloods, has openly publicized the fact that Egg is about to abandon them......
Although this is actually an imminent thing, many people have thought of it, but it is one thing to think about it, and it is another thing to say it unceremoniously.
In short, the short pure-blood, who kept bragging about Egger's preaching, didn't pay any attention to the half-breeds of his age who were listening to him, so much so that he didn't care about their feelings now.
"It's really unbelievable."
The old examiner also shook his head, "But isn't this what the wizarding world is now-"
His words were interrupted by a louder cry than before, and the two of them were stunned.
The voices were clearly made by the half-bloods, as if they had heard something happy, and there were even a few relieving shouts mixed in.
"It seems that your judgment was wrong."
After listening for a moment, the balding Victor winked at the old examiner.
"The president did stay, and Iger chose to stay."
"I'm relieved that my judgment was wrong."
There was some surprise, but the old examiner also showed a smile on his face.
"But in that case, then I don't have time to talk to you next."
"What, does the president have other arrangements?"
"The president plans to ask Iger to pass on the memories so that he can make it in time for the beginning of this year's school season. Of course, I need to prepare for the rituals. β
"Passing on memories?"
Victor frowned, "Is it to teleport to that strange ruined library to trade?" β
"That's right."
The old examiner nodded, "This way Iger can quickly acquire some basic knowledge without wasting time studying." β
"I always felt that it wasn't normal."
Victor frowned and said, "Exchange wealth for knowledge, exchange knowledge for wealth...... It's like the devil's trick. β
"You think too much, the devils have disappeared for hundreds of years, how can it have anything to do with them."
The old examiner waved his hand and said, "Even if there is a relationship, it can't be hidden from the eyes of the president, and you don't know it, he is a master in the field of trickery and hellology." β
Victor opened his mouth when he heard this, and wanted to say something, but then, his mind moved, and he booed to signal silence.
ββ¦β¦ What happened to you? β
Seeing that he put on a eavesdropping posture and didn't speak for a long time, the old examiner felt a little puzzled.
"What's going on out there?"
He was old and a little deaf.
"It seems that there are two intern reporters from the Wizarding Education Newspaper who have come to interview Egger."
With that, Victor walked out of the office.
"No, I'll have to keep an eye on it, pure-blooded reporters love to belittle us half-breeds, and those two guys don't know how to change Egger's words next."
β¦β¦
Things didn't quite turn out to be what he expected.
Because Victor didn't know, Mellen was no stranger to reporters and interviews.
He has been writing books since he was a child, and he is even very good at using this kind of interview to set up a character for himself in front of the public, and even create a "hot spot".
At the same time, one of the people who came to interview Melen was actually Mellen's "acquaintance"-
The ghost-masked girl who had come with Alyssa at the banquet last night was still swearing for him, and her voice was very loud.
And the other journalist is not a complete stranger.
He is the fiancΓ© of the girl.
