Chapter 16 Selection
Watching the door of the conference room close, Akali smiled and turned to look at Freya beside her.
"Hey, Freya, don't you have a crush on him?"
Freya immediately glared at Akali.
"Aunt Akali, this joke is not funny at all. If my lord father hears it, maybe he will get angry with you."
Akali shrugged: "I can't see it. No matter how much he likes you as a daughter, you will get married sooner or later. Look, you are in your twenties?"
"In a while, I should be twenty-four years old." Freya snorted softly. "Who said I'm going to get married sooner or later, aren't you and Aunt Evita married yet?"
"The two of us are different from you. Who would make the person we like not accept us?" Akali smiled and stretched out her hand, stroking Freya's head. "Freya, if the president had accepted me back then, maybe I would have a daughter who is about your age now."
Freya grinned: "That's a matter between you, don't get involved with me. If you want a daughter, I can be your daughter too."
"Well, Evita and I watched you grow up, and we treated you like a daughter a lot of the time." Akali paused, then suppressed her smile. "Okay, I'm not joking. Seriously, Freya, you will soon be twenty-four years old, and you will soon reach the age agreed with the president. Have you decided now?"
Freya immediately showed a distressed expression, frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head slowly.
"I have not decided yet."
"What? Are you still not interested in taking over the Chamber of Commerce?"
"It's not right to say that I have no interest at all. In the past two years, I have tried to get in touch with some affairs of the chamber of commerce. In fact, I found that many things are quite interesting to deal with. But... I always feel that it is a bit overwhelming to determine my future destiny so early. ...somewhat unreconciled."
"Unwilling to be bound?" Akali asked again. "I understand this. When I was young, I yearned for freedom more than you do now, and I was very unwilling to be confined in one place all the time. It was only after I found the career of creating a magic communication network that I was willing to dedicate my life, that I finally settled down. Come."
"It's not a restriction. I just think...Father always has to think about too many things in his life, and his life is very tiring. I don't like him like this." Freya said.
Akali let out a long sigh.
"Master President, he really needs to always consider a lot of things. There is no way. Who made him the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. He bears the fate of countless people, and his every move may determine the entire Sainz The development direction of the mainland, so he must think more, and there must be no mistakes. But you said that he is too tired. I disagree."
"Isn't this tiring? I have to think about so many messy things at any time, and I feel a headache just thinking about it." Freya pouted.
"He's used to it." Akali smiled lightly. "In other words, this is where his fun lies. The chairman has always had a very great ideal, and this ideal, he has actually made it very clear in the Bonta Declaration ten years ago. When he founded Xinfei For so many years in the Chamber of Commerce, he has been working hard towards this ideal. Freya, you may not understand now that when a person works hard for his own ideal, he doesn't actually feel very tired."
"Really?" Freya stared blankly at Akali, but her eyes no longer knew where she was going.
"Okay, actually you don't have to be so troubled." Akali patted Freya on the shoulder. "I know the character of the chairman very well. Although he hopes you can take over the chamber of commerce, he definitely wants you to live the life you want. If you don't want to take over the chamber of commerce, he won't force you. You still have more than a year left Time to think about it, think about it.”
Freya rolled her eyes. He clapped his hands lightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "That's right, I still have more than a year. Besides, don't I have several younger brothers and sisters? Already. Hehe..."
Akali couldn't help reaching out and tapped Freya on the head lightly, scolding: "What nonsense are you talking about? The President publicly announced that you were his sole heir the moment you were born. I understand the chairman, if you are not willing to take over the Chamber of Commerce, then he will not let any of your younger siblings take over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. So do you understand how important your choice is?"
Freya stuck out her tongue: "Auntie Akali, I thought you would comfort me, but it turned out that you taught me the same thing as your mother."
"I just hope you can spend more time thinking about it. Although the chairman shouldn't care much, I'm afraid Steele still cares very much. Besides, your choice is not only related to you alone. It is even related to the whole There are nearly a million people in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Don't look at me like this, your choice is so important, and you are not qualified to treat it casually."
Hearing that Akali's tone had become severe, Freya put away her naughty playfulness, pondered for a moment, and nodded heavily.
"Okay. Aunt Akali, I will definitely consider it carefully. If I feel that I am unwilling to accept it after all, I will definitely make it clear to my father. I believe he will understand me and support me. And if If I decide to accept it, then I will definitely make up my mind to take on my responsibilities.”
Akali sighed softly, then touched Freya's head again, with a doting look on her face.
"You, although you may be the luckiest girl in the world in the eyes of many people, you are also under tremendous pressure that no one can imagine. Fortunately, your father is the most enlightened father in the world. Otherwise, you may not even be able to have a happy childhood, and it is even more impossible to maintain such a relaxed attitude towards life. So Freya, thank your father. His greatness is not only reflected in changing the whole world His face is also reflected in every bit of life.”
Freya held her head high, her eyes shining.
"Of course! Father is the greatest person in my heart, no one can compare with him!"
"Can't Steele be compared?"
Freya hesitated for a moment, but still nodded firmly.
"Even if it's my mother, I can't compare! Humph, why is she not at home often..."
Akali laughed suddenly: "Even I can't justify Steele for this. She is busy with the work of the New Moon Chamber of Commerce, and it is true that she spends less time with you."
Having said that, Akali looked at Freya again, and continued: "Actually, I often suspect that it is because the image of the president in your mind is too high, which has caused you to go up until now. Haven't even dated a boyfriend?"
Akali was just joking, but she didn't expect Freya to nod without hesitation, and said with a cold snort: "Why do I like those ordinary boys, they are all as annoying as flies , I wouldn’t like it.” As he spoke, he glanced at Akali and asked, “Aunt Akali, aren’t you the same? Because of your father, you don’t want to accept other men.”
Akali could only smile wryly: "So we were both killed by the chairman? But I can say that, but you can't, after all, you are his daughter."
After leaving this sentence behind, Akali stood up.
"Okay, I still have to make arrangements for overseas bases. I don't have time to chat with you here. Freya, think about what I just said, but don't expect me to give you any advice. The president is very clear. You warned us not to allow anyone to interfere with your decision."
After finishing speaking, Akali walked straight to the door.
Just when she opened the door of the meeting room, she seemed to suddenly remember something, turned her head, and looked at Freya with a slight frown.
"I said, can you change to a phantom skin? Although I understand that you had to pretend to be a teenager in order to sneak into those students, but you are too ugly, right?"
Freya grinned: "It just needs to be ugly so as not to attract attention. If I keep my original appearance, how can I get in?"
Akali thought for a while and rolled her eyes.
"Well, you have a good point."
Watching Akali leave the conference room, Freya waved her hand, and a water mirror with a faint blue light and an extremely smooth surface appeared in front of her eyes.
The mirror reflected Freya's face very clearly. Freya stared at herself in the mirror, looked left and right, and muttered: "Is it really ugly? I think it's okay. Of course, it's too young. It's a little bit, it doesn't match my age."
After watching for a while, Freya blinked her eyes, and the magic power in her body moved slightly. From head to toe, there were faint fluctuations shining with colorful lights all over her body.
Under the flickering light, Freya's whole body began to change little by little.
After a while, he was completely changed.
Now Freya is no longer the little girl who looked very ordinary, without any special features, and would not attract anyone's attention when she walked on the road, but has become a girl with beautiful features, a soft face, and a noble temperament. But she looked full of vitality, her eyes were full of spirituality, and she was an extremely beautiful girl who looked about twenty years old.
Such a girl, no matter where she is placed, will immediately become the focus of everyone's attention, and she is completely different from the ordinary girl just now.
Freya looked at the familiar face in the mirror, touched her own face, and when her face moved, she revealed a somewhat unnatural smile.
The phantom skin obtained from Elder Lisanya is very useful for camouflage, but the shortcoming is that it cannot show the expression perfectly, which is a very serious shortcoming.
"It seems that next time I see Grandma Lisanya, I will give her some advice."
Freya rubbed her face, adjusted the expression on her face, and then walked out of the meeting room. (~^~)
