Chapter XVII: The Directors of the Third Age
"Bernard, you're late."
As soon as the Gauls finished speaking, another voice came to their ears.
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his mid-fifties, dressed in a crisp tunic with a calm face, walking down the stairs.
Without the introduction of Shi Yiyi, Li Yu could already guess the identity of the person in front of him.
He is obviously one of the five directors of the Third Age, the host of this annual meeting, Mr. Qin, the owner of Red Leaf Villa.
"I went to the Forbidden City in the afternoon, and I was fascinated by it, so I was late." Bernard looked up and grinned.
Mr. Qin knew the style of the Gaul in front of him, and he didn't bother to bother with him, so he just nodded.
"Since you're here, let's eat together, everyone will be waiting for you."
Hearing the last sentence, Bernard not only did not feel guilty and blamed himself, but secretly rejoiced in his heart, pretending to apologize, but was the first to sit down at the table.
And then the eleven or twelve-year-old Angsa girl that Li Yu saw before also walked down the stairs.
Then there was a drunken Slav, who was also dressed in a gown, but somewhat unkempt, and walked with a scruffy beard.
A waiter followed him, ready to catch him when he fell, but was rudely pushed away.
"I don't need help, I'm not drunk."
He muttered as he complained to Mr. Qin on the side, "You have to repair the puppets in the manor, Old Qin, their eyesight is too poor." ”
Mr. Qin nodded when he heard this, "I see, Sergei." ”
At the sight of Sergei, Miss Windsor had a faint look of disgust in her eyes, and Bernard moved her buttocks, as if to get away from the old drunkard.
Sergei didn't think it either, and soon after sitting down, he began to feast as if no one was around.
On the other hand, Miss Windsor and Bernard did not move their chopsticks, as if they were still waiting for someone.
At this time, there were already four directors gathered in the living room on the first floor, and only the last person was left.
"Taylor," Shi Yiyu said in a low voice, "she is the most powerful director on the board of directors right now, and the other directors will more or less need to look at her face.
"Miss Windsor, in particular, and Bernard. They were like two of Taylor's little henchmen. ”
"But I remember you said Miss Windsor, who was in charge of the board of directors before." Li Yu said.
"Yes, but that was a long time ago, in fact, even Bernard's idiot was in the limelight for a while, but today is different, the time that belonged to them is over."
"Is there a difference between the directors and the directors?" Li Yu said, "What about Mr. Qin, what position can he rank among the five directors now." ”
"Second, no one is more powerful than him except Taylor, but Taylor's family is too strong, and three of the five directors are their people, so it's better not to mess with them if it's okay."
Li Yu nodded, and had a general understanding of the company's top management.
After another quarter of an hour, the fifth director finally appeared.
Li Yu first heard the clatter of high heels on the floor, and raised his head to look in the direction of the staircase.
I saw a tall figure, and the person who came was taller than the twin girls, estimated to be close to one meter nine.
But the figure is not bad, and he is not as fat as Sergei.
However, she has both male and female features, with a pair of striking breasts, eyeshadow and thick lipstick, a yellow dress, and fur around her neck.
On the other hand, however, she has a large male skeleton, a pronounced Adam's apple, and even leg hair.
Li Yu is usually a very stable person in life and work, and coupled with the experience of the past half a year, there are few things that can surprise him.
But Taylor's appearance still gave him a lot of shock.
"I don't know, the fifth director turned out to be a ...... Transsexual. ”
"It's transgender." Hephaestus corrected, and at the end he added, "Don't you like such people? ”
"Not really." Li Yu shook his head, "I respect everyone's own choice, but I was a little surprised when I saw it for the first time." ”
"It's human nature." The teacher is a servant.
Seeing Taylor coming, Miss Windsor and Bernard immediately stood up with respectful expressions, and then they looked at Sergei, who was still eating wildly.
Bernard reminded, "Taylor is here, you should stand up and show him respect......"
In response to him was a middle finger.
Bernard's face turned red all of a sudden, he didn't expect Sergei to give him no face at all in front of so many company employees.
But everyone is a director, and Bernard can't do anything with Sergei.
In the end, he could only pretend not to see it, and turned his head and politely pulled out the chair for Taylor, who arrived at the latest.
"Bernard, you're late." Taylor did not thank him, but sat down in the chair that the Gauls had pulled for him, and then spoke.
Bernard's face changed slightly, but this time he didn't fool around with excuses such as forgetting the time of visiting the attractions, and stood aside like a child who had done something wrong.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal, don't come so late next time." Taylor looked at Miss Windsor again and said gently, "Let's all sit down." ”
The two of them sat down.
Taylor looked at Mr. Qin again, "Where is the annual meeting going on now?" ”
"Just finished the first round of prizes." Mr. Qin said, "Are you going to say a few words to everyone next?" ”
"No, you're the host, or you should come." Taylor said, "I'm just here tonight to taste Oriental food." ”
As she spoke, she picked up a napkcloth and tied it around her neck.
"yes, I heard that you've been in Hokkaido for a while, haven't you gotten tired of eating sashimi there?" Sergei, who had not spoken before, suddenly put down the elbow in his hand and spoke.
"So it's been a long time since you've eaten sour cherry dumplings and Kyiv chicken." Taylor said lightly.
"Interesting...... It's really interesting. Sergei's eyes flashed with a grim look, but before he could continue, he was interrupted by Mr. Qin.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I need to remind you that we are now attending the company's annual meeting, and no matter what grievances you have in the past, please exercise restraint in front of our employees and stop making more jokes."
"Wait," Bernard frowned, "what did you mean by more than that...... Have we ever made any other jokes? ”
"It doesn't matter, grab a bite to eat and move on to the next step." Mr. Qin urged.
