And he dragged the vice president of the Knight Branch, and modestly said that it was all because of the guidance of the leaders of the academy that would give him such a chance to realize his ideals.

The vice dean was so relieved that he smiled from ear to ear, and patted Philip on the shoulder and praised him.

Anyway, it's just business boasting, and in the past two years, Philip, who has a heart to manage his network, has become more and more proficient.

Low-key and self-contained, neither humble nor arrogant, he has won the favor of some people, not to mention the news that Philip is valued by the upper echelons and made an exception to be included in the cultivation under his command, which is not a secret in the middle and upper echelons of the Southern Temple.

What really surprised everyone was that the real boss of the Southern Temple, His Excellency Arnold Blanchett, the second-level Holy Knight, personally came to the celebration, which instantly brought the atmosphere to a climax.

As the big man, Arnold naturally cheered for the new little brother Philip, who not only brought the most precious 'Golden Lotus Wave' medal of the Southern Temple to Philip and Brian, but also delivered an enthusiastic speech, congratulating and affirming the achievements of the two, and encouraging all the researchers present to continue to work diligently in their existing positions and strive for greater breakthroughs as soon as possible.

Looking at Arnold, who was surrounded by everyone, and observing the smiles on everyone's faces, whether real or fake, Philip took a glass of wine and sipped it gently, but his mind was fantasizing about when he would be able to become the real ruler.

Since the unexpected death of his grandfather Brad, he has really had time to step outside the box and discover his shortcomings.

Talent, ability and even scheming, he is not lacking in this life, and the only flaw is the lack of pattern.

Even though he has always known to strive to climb up, he always gives people a feeling of being at peace with what happens, a sense of being a child, lacking that kind of real inner motivation, and the persistence of desperately wanting to succeed.

And now, he has, although that price is not what he wants.

More than two years, not long or not short, but it is enough for him to operate his own part of the power inside the Southern Temple, although he is still very immature, he already has a framework and a rough prototype, just waiting for the precipitation of the years, the day when it will blossom and bear fruit.

Arnold didn't say too much, but after a few words of encouragement, he drank a glass of wine and was about to leave.

As one of the two high-ranking bosses in the Southern Temple, Rili is not enough to describe his busyness, and besides, he will make a group of people unable to let go of their hands and feet here, and unconsciously restrain them.

Before leaving, he looked sideways at Philip, who was seeing him off, and asked in a low voice, "What did you think about what I told you last time?"

Philip was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, stood there with his hands down, and replied, "Everything is subject to your arrangement, my lord." ”

Arnold nodded with satisfaction, but shook his head again: "After all, it's your own life, it's better to think clearly, there are pros and cons to both options."

I don't care, it's up to you.

Come to me when you think about it, I have time in the afternoon. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving only the thoughtful Philip standing in place, and the people around him looked at his young and tall figure with envious and jealous expressions on their faces.

Speaking of which, the rank of these people is not low, and the administrative rank is the bishop abounds, but only in this environment can you understand what each small difference in rank represents.

Everyone in this banquet hall who wants to meet either Arnold or James needs to apply layer by layer, and it also depends on the schedule and even the mood of the two big guys that day.

But the young man in front of him sounded like he could see this big man at any time, which made many people who had only heard rumors but had not witnessed them with their own eyes were full of thoughts.

On weekdays, he gets along with him easily and cordially, without any shelf like a polite and intelligent junior, and has never been pampered or revealed his background, this humility can't help but make people feel more pleasing to the eye.

Philip didn't pay attention to the change in his eyes, he had already adapted to it.

Stepping on the low and facing the high, no matter which world it is in, it is the same, and the nature of human beings will not distinguish whether they are scholars or play with knives.

He was thinking about the two choices that Arnold gave him before, and now that he is about to graduate in two months, it seems that he can't drag it anymore, and he must choose a suitable path for his future.

In the end, it is a celebration banquet, so naturally you have to drink a good drink, after all, after more than two years of struggle, it is finally the harvest season.

As the two protagonists, Philip has a lot of experience in dealing with drinking parties, not only does not drink too much, but also makes people feel face-saving and shuttles through the crowd with ease.

But Brian's face was flushed, and his eyes swollen when he drank, and by the end of the banquet, he was already like a cute panda.

He wrapped his arms around Philip's neck affectionately, causing Philip to bend over and be satisfied with maintaining the same altitude as him.

The tongue was a little disobedient, but it still said in Philip's ear: "You boy is so cunning enough to push me in front of me, but you are hiding from the sidelines." ”

Philip didn't care about the heavy smell of alcohol on him, he himself was the same, and he thought that he would have to be washed again tonight before he could go to bed.

He knew that Brian was not really to blame, and looking at the excited and proud look of the other party's round figure being wrapped in the crowd, it was not difficult to see how much Brian enjoyed this moment of success.

Philip put his arm on Brian's shoulders and said in a sincere tone: "The success of the experiment is the inevitable result of our many arguments, and even without this badge, no one can erase our honor."

But I'm about to graduate, and whether I can eat and drink spicy food in the future will be up to you, Chairman Miller. ”

Yes, Chairman Miller, not Snape.

Although Philip paid almost all the investment in the early and middle stages, and spent money like water into this bottomless pit, accounting for almost ninety percent of the income of all cigarette industries, he stopped investing after the first prototype test was successful and received the first batch of three trial production orders from the research institute.

It's not that he has run out of money, in fact, the most difficult and costly stage has passed.

Instead, he gave away some of his shares after a slight hint from the upper echelons of the Southern Temple.

Now the shares in Brian's hand have not moved, they are still thirty percent, all the shares in his hands are transferred, accounting for fifty percent, and the remaining twenty percent are occupied by several research institutes and business houses under the Southern Temple.

Although the money obtained from the grant of shares is far higher than the total amount of money he has invested before, which is already a very lucrative investment, from the perspective of the project's prospects, this is a typical pick up of sesame seeds and loss of watermelons.

But Philip still did not hesitate to give up the dominant position, allowing the official forces to intervene.

This is just the beginning, and there are not many shares to be ceded, because only he knows the economic value and political significance behind this scientific research.

In time, this small workshop-style laboratory, which started with only four or five people, will become a behemoth that will shock the entire continent.

At that time, the shares in his hands will continue to be ceded, and the temple officials will occupy the majority of it.

But then he will not only gain a lot of money, but also real influence.

This is all inevitable, he thinks very clearly, and only under the protection of the temple official and the expansion of channels, this kind of high-tech industry involving intellectual property rights can really shine as it should be, instead of being powerlessly squeezed out of the market in the face of the mushrooming imitations.

Again, even if Philip knew that his shares would be diluted in the near future, there was no comparison at all with a small 6-inch cake alone and a cake the size of a table with ten people.

What's more, this cake will not only be the size of a table in the future, but will probably become a pond or even the size of a lake.

And the choice of Brian as the chairman and also the technical director is the tacit balance point after their game with the temple.

It was only after Philip was invited to a secret meeting that he learned that people were really not disgraceful.

Although Brian himself is only backed by the Hall of Heroes and the big men above, his wife Tanya, who is the gentle woman who is soft-spoken and has good cooking skills, is actually the great-granddaughter of the archbishop of the Southern Temple of the previous generation, and the family behind it can be said to have a deep background in this holy city.

Philip also reacted, no wonder many people thought that Philip was just a little white face who was looked down on by the princess of the empire, but Brian had never had this kind of ridicule and discrimination, it turned out that he was also a fellow believer, but more low-key.

In short, with Brian sitting in the Holy City, I believe that Philip's interests can still be guaranteed, and at the same time, it can be regarded as an unexpected indirect pull of political help.

Because of this, hearing Philip's seemingly ridiculous words, Brian regained a trace of consciousness, patted Philip on the back seriously and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, what should be ours, no one can take it away." ”

After that, he looked at Philip with some regret, shook his head and sighed, "Although I still think that you should stay in the Holy City and become a full-time researcher or professor, instead of fighting and killing on the battlefield like those fools."

But everyone has their own ambitions, I can only bless you, come back often, Tanya also likes Sophia and Afu.

Don't forget, when your child is born, you are his godfather. ”

Philip smiled and nodded, and arranged for someone to send him back.

Tanya, as one of the heroes and elders, did not come today, but took care of the children at home.

Two months ago, she gave birth to a big fat boy for Brian, giving the Miller family, which is said to be a single heir for ten generations.

If it weren't for Brian, who had just become a father, who had recently become a child slave and served two ancestors at home, one older and one younger, today's experiment would have been completed a month ago.

As for the choice Arnold said, he still wanted to listen to Sophia's advice, compared to the experience he brought in his previous life and the intelligence of this life, as an imperial princess, Sophia's vision and pattern are much stronger than him.
