Chapter 67: Strengthening Security? Is it necessary?
The next day, as soon as Paul returned to the New York office, she was immediately pulled into her office by Maria.
"How's the date with David?" Before Mary could speak, Paul asked her.
The word 'gossip' is faintly engraved on his forehead.
Maria rolled her eyes, "That's it." ”
"As your partner, I strongly urge you to be more specific."
"It's a good date, but it's not the second half, okay."
"Why!" Paul's eyes widened, "Where did David displease you, he announced the cancellation of the deal with Charles for you in front of the top 50 richest people in the United States." ”
"That's what happened after the date." Mary had no choice but to continue, "So I asked him to go on another date tonight, okay, it's your turn!" How did you get that Charles guy to confess in public? ”
This great good thing had been bothering Mary for two days.
Paul raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure you really want to hear it?" ”
"Hurry up!"
Paul looked around pretending to make sure that there was no one around, and then he hooked his finger at Mary, motioned for her to lean her ear, and whispered in her ear:
"I don't know..."
“... You, you, you. ”
"I didn't fool you, I asked the genius scientist Howard to do this. Stark helps, and God knows what kind of high-tech equipment or powerful truth-spitting agent he used on Charles, causing Charles to blow himself up at a charity dinner. ”
Paul was serious nonsense, "I asked him how he did it, and he only said, not me." ”
Before Jenny. When Barnes asked Paul, Paul used similar excuses.
As bizarre as it sounds, the... There doesn't seem to be a better explanation for this.
So Jenny and Maria could only choose to believe it.
"Then you'll have to thank Howard for me, or we might not make it through."
Mary said indignantly, "If I play fair, I think sooner or later I will surpass that bad old man, but if he uses this kind of trick, I will have a headache." ”
Paul raised his eyebrows: "You underestimate yourself too much, but I think that as long as Charles is not hired to set fires, other business methods, no matter how dirty, you yourself must have a way to defeat him." ”
Whether it is true or not, Mary is still very useful when she hears this.
But he was still worried: "This is exactly what I'm worried about, Charles's next step will really be to hire people to kill people and set fires, with what I know about him, he did it." ”
"I don't think so." Paul shook his hand confidently, "Charles himself is in danger of saving his life, so how can he still have time to trouble us." ”
"You're referring to Charles' extraordinary shareholders' meeting tonight, and you vote no confidence in him, right?"
"Yes, if he makes such a big scandal, the board of directors will definitely dissociate himself from him immediately in order to maintain the company's stock price, this trip, I think he has no way out anyway."
"I think so too, but..."
Maria sighed, "Even if he is voted to be stripped of the chairmanship and management rights, he is still a rich man, and he will come to us with the heart of a dead fish." ”
Paul was speechless.
He didn't want to tell Maria that he had found Charles behind him, and he had intimidated him so hard that he had the last bit of guts.
That inevitably seems to be too powerful.
Moreover, Mary's worries could not be erased by all of them.
This company is like her child, as the so-called care is chaotic, even if Paul asks her to put 10,000 hearts at ease, she will still be uneasy.
"So, what can we do?" Paul asked.
Maria said solemnly: "I want to find a professional security company, and ask a few security guards to protect the company and you and me respectively." ”
Hearing this, Paul couldn't help but frown.
Is it necessary?
If it's just to deal with Charles, there's really no need.
But...
Isn't it just spending some money, and there's nothing wrong with preventing problems before they happen.
After all, in this Cao Dan's world, disasters from the sky are a matter of minutes.
Especially in a city like New York.
Who knows if tomorrow there will be an alien prince with antlers who discovers that he is adopted, and the day after tomorrow there will be an artificial intelligence murderer who distorts the will of the creator.
To put it mildly, New York is very chaotic, and robbers and thieves commit a lot of crimes.
The company is rich, Maria is beautiful, these are the motives for the crime.
It doesn't cost a lot of money to hire a few security guards, but it can add an insurance policy, especially when Paul is not with the company and Maria.
It's good.
"Well, I think you're right, we're going to have to get a few reliable people to guard the gate."
"Great!" Seeing that Paul agreed, Maria immediately took out a list, "This is a list of the most famous security companies in New York, you are more professional, choose a few suitable people to stay in the company." “
"I'll see." Paul looked at the names on the list and was disgusted.
These people are okay to prevent thieves.
But to guard against aliens, mutants, wizards, and devils, Paul has a more suitable candidate in mind.

Finished... What to do.
In the chairman's office, Charles's feet kept shaking, and as the clock ticked by, the time for his execution was approaching.
The extraordinary general meeting of shareholders will be held in five minutes.
Although Charles has exhausted all means to stabilize shareholders, no one has bought his account.
The other members of the Rockefeller family not only did not help him, but also did not even answer his phone.
Clearly gave him up.
At the charity dinner, he caused too much trouble.
What to do, what to do, what to do.
That's when it happened.
"How does it feel like to be hopeless?"
Charles jerked his head up and noticed that there was suddenly an extra person in the chair opposite.
He wears a dark orange... It must have been a monk's robe, his face and nose were wrapped in thick cloth, and Charles could only see his eagle-like eyes and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
"Who are you, you, you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, do you want my help?"
"Help... Why? ”
"Get rid of your board of directors, let you continue to be your chairman, and let your family and relatives obey you from now on."
Charles snorted coldly: "Hmph, you are a god?" ”
"Well, I can't talk about God, but there is a God behind me."
After giving Charles time to think about this sentence for a while, the mysterious man added: "Anyway, Paul. . . Tibbetts can make you speak the truth, and I can make your board of directors obey you from now on. ”
These words deeply shocked Charles.
Charles began to look at the man across from him again.
Then he found that there seemed to be a strange light in his eyes.
“... Why are you helping me? ”
"Because, I have also experienced despair, because we have a common enemy."
