Chapter 77 The Position of the President

Chapter 77 The position of the president

Male, boyfriend? Surprised, Grover looked at Phoebe with an extremely weird gaze, and then looked at Han Shuo with an even weirder gaze, as if he couldn't believe it and reconfirmed: "Is he really your boyfriend?" "

"Of course!" Phoebe nodded affirmatively, and with a blushing face, she stretched out her arm and put it around Han Shuo's left hand, as if to prove their relationship.

As if an egg had been forcefully stuffed into his mouth, Han Shuo opened his mouth wide open with a dull expression on his face. It wasn't until he felt Phoebe's little hand holding his arm that he secretly exerted force, then he realized that he gave a dry laugh and nodded, but he didn't explain anything.

A business veteran who was chatting happily with Grover couldn't help but asked Grover in a low voice suspiciously: "What's the origin of this kid?"

Grover didn't say much, just winked at the man, then stepped aside a little, smiled and said, "Since he's Phoebe's boyfriend, there's no problem, come in quickly. "

Pulling Han Shuo hard, Phoebe walked into the hall with a normal expression, smiled and signaled to several veterans along the way, and then pulled Han Shuo straight to a place where there were few people.

In the hall, the waiter was carrying trays of fruit and wine, and was placing them on a wide square table in the middle. A huge chandelier above the head radiated bright light, and the entire hall was decorated so richly that Han Shuo, a country bumpkin, was very surprised.

However, Han Shuo was most surprised by what Phoebe said just now. When he saw no one around, Han Shuo immediately said to Phoebe with a wry smile, "I said Miss Phoebe, what do you mean?"

Picking up a goblet casually, Phoebe poured a glass of rosy wine, gracefully raised the glass and took a sip before saying, "Don't think about it. I'm just trying to cover up your identity. , nothing else, if I don’t say that, I’m afraid you won’t be able to come in at all.”

Nodding his head, Han Shuo sighed helplessly. Said: "I knew that coming here with you would definitely not be a good thing!"

"You have to behave naturally, and I will help you deal with it. This is our company's annual gathering, and all the elders will rush over. No matter how courageous Grover is, he dare not do it at this time, so we don't have to worry. !” Phoebe and Han Shuo spoke softly. The pupils kept looking around.

He also picked up a wine glass and poured half a glass of wine. After taking a sip, Han Shuo felt that it was very sweet and sour. After careful observation, Han Shuo found that many of the people from the Buster Company also brought their family members. Twenty or thirty people. Among them are old elders, handsome young men, and even a few beautiful women and dignified ladies who still have charm.

Without exception, these people

All are brightly dressed. Behavior is polite, and it seems that it is the style of the so-called upper class. Holding a wine glass in one hand, Grover shuttled among these people, greeting everyone kindly, and seemed to be very familiar with them.

"The Buster Firm. It has always been controlled by our Buster family. Originally, my father was always the chairman, but because I have been traveling, my father died. The old thing temporarily took over the position of the chairman, but don't look at it. He seems to have a good relationship with many elders, but no one really knows what is going on behind the scenes, otherwise it would be useless for me to come back!"

While Han Shuo was observing the surroundings silently, Phoebe explained to Han Shuo in a low voice. After Phoebe finished speaking, Han Shuo's heart moved, and he suddenly said, "Your father, why did you die suddenly? Didn't you know it beforehand?"

As soon as Phoebe asked this question, a trace of murderous intent appeared in Phoebe's eyes. Then she lowered her voice and said coldly, "I'm still investigating how my father died. I haven't found any evidence yet. Because I haven't been in the business all the time." , so a lot of things are unclear, and the veterans probably don’t trust me too much. Now everyone’s attitude is uncertain. What I have to do now is to win the support of these veterans, otherwise I can’t do it with my own strength. Shake the status of old things in the business."

When Phoebe said this, Han Shuo understood that she was also suspicious of his father's death, so he didn't say anything more, and looked at some people in the hall with his wine glass, thinking silently in his heart.

After a while, several more people came over one after another, and the last old man with gray temples, with the support of a housekeeper, also walked into the hall.

As soon as this person appeared, many people in the hall came to say hello. When Phoebe saw it, she immediately pulled Han Shuo and rushed over here, explaining quickly in a low voice, "He is Andrew, he founded the Buster Firm with my grandfather, and he is now the oldest in the firm. A veteran, even Grover dare not be too presumptuous in front of him, if he helps us, we will not be so passive."

Coming in front of Andrew, Phoebe bowed reservedly, with a joyful smile on her face, and said, "Grandpa Andrew, why are you here too?"

"Hey, it's our beautiful little Phoebe. Grandpa hasn't seen you for a long time! Hehe, you've grown so tall." Andrew leaned on a cane in his left hand, and was supported by a housekeeper in his right hand, smiling at Phoebe Say.

"Good niece, don't just talk, let the old man come in and sit down quickly. The old man is old, and he must be very tired after riding the carriage all the way. He can't stand like this anymore." After Grover came over, he said to Fei After saying this, Bea walked towards Andrew, as if planning to take Andrew to sit on his side.

"Hehe, it's okay. I had a great time chatting with little Phoebe. It's been a long time since I saw our little Phoebe!" Andrew avoided Grover's support, and instead raised his crutch, he walked towards Phoebe and Han Shuo. come along.

Grover looked at Phoebe with a look of surprise, and led Andrew to the other side, frowning involuntarily, his eyes patrolled Andrew, as if he was thinking about something.

After Phoebe, Andrew, and Han Shuo walked to the other corner of the hall and sat down, before Phoebe and Andrew had time to speak, Glover raised his glass and said with a smile: "Everyone from the Buster Company , Today is the annual gathering of our Buster Firm, and I am very happy to see you again this year. Unfortunately, due to physical reasons, my dear brother passed away, which is really a sad thing."

"Glover don't be sad. For now

Your management is orderly, I think the president will be very pleased if he knows your hard work! "One of the elders suddenly spoke at this moment, and as soon as he spoke, there were two more people beside him.

Han Shuo watched the performance of several people with cold eyes. He already knew in his heart that these people must have a close relationship with Grover, so saying this was just showing his attitude.

At this moment, Han Shuo, who was sitting next to Phoebe, obviously heard that Andrew, and hummed very softly. Phoebe and Andrew were closer to the ground, so naturally they could hear clearly. He couldn't help but glanced at Andrew in surprise, and exchanged a look with Han Shuo.

"The president has passed away, but our Buster Firm cannot keep the position of the president empty all the time. I think we should take advantage of this gathering to discuss the matter of the new president. What do you think?" The same person , opened his mouth and raised his voice, and said that the two elders who had previously agreed with each other, now opened their mouths again to express their agreement. Grover looked calm, and sat there just looking around constantly, his eyes stayed on Phoebe Andrew's side for a little longer.

"Of course, the position of president cannot be vacant for too long. But who will be the president is an important issue!" Not far away, a broad-headed veteran. Said out loudly.

"What is there to discuss? Of course, Grover should be the chairman of Xindi. After the chairman passed away, Grover has been in charge of the business of the firm. In Grover's hands, the firm is stable and orderly. Preface, everyone has seen it, 101. Except for Grover, I don’t think anyone else is qualified to take this position.” The Grover man stood up abruptly, and said loudly, he has won The response of the other two.

Grover stood up with a smile on his face, pretending to be meek, and said something that he was ashamed of because of his limited ability, but the three of them firmly stated that he had to do it, and their cooperation was considered a tacit understanding.

"Uncle Andrew, who do you think should be the new president?" At this time, the elder with a stern voice looked at Andrew from a distance and asked.

Following his questioning, the other elders around all focused their eyes on Andrew, as if they were all waiting for Andrew's attitude.

Andrew glanced at Phoebe who was pretending to be calm, got up slightly and let out a chuckle, and then said, "Anyway, it's not me, an old guy, because I don't have a few days to live, hehe!"

When he said this, everyone smiled in good faith, and Grover also smiled, as if he was relieved, as if he was afraid that Andrew would come forward to compete with him for the position of president.

"However." Andrew glanced at the crowd and continued, "I think little Phoebe has grown up. Since she is the president's daughter and a member of the Buster family, she should be the most qualified to sit in this seat. The new president, why no one mentioned it."

"No, absolutely not. Miss Phoebe is still too young, and has been traveling all the time, so she doesn't know some things in the firm. If she becomes the president, it may drag down the business of our Buster firm." The elder who had been defending Glover immediately protested violently.

"Kilo, it's not certain. Although Ms. Phoebe is young, I think she has a good understanding of the general situation, and she has a good sense of style. Maybe she can control the firm and bring greater development to the firm. Oh!" A senior elder suddenly said, the several elders who had been silent all the time, when they saw Andrew expressed his support for Phoebe, they all responded one by one, and there were three or four elders who remained silent, as if express their neutrality.

"This, how can this work? We can't use the future of the firm as a test of her ability." The loyal supporter of Glover named Kylo said immediately.

"Why not? If I remember correctly, the old president was only 23 years old when he was in charge of the firm, but with the help of Andrew and the old gentlemen, the old president grew up very quickly. Buster's business is flourishing, and I think Miss Phoebe should be able to do this, not to mention that with us people assisting her, nothing big will happen." The man continued.

Ever since Andrew opened his mouth, Grover had a gloomy face and remained silent until this moment when he suddenly stood up and said to Phoebe: "Good niece, your boyfriend used to be a handyman at the Babylon School of Magic and Martial Arts. And there was a slave status. Don't blame uncle for being troublesome, but if you are with him, it will affect the reputation of our firm if people know it!"

As soon as these words were uttered, some elders in the hall couldn't help but immediately focus on Han Shuo, with contemptuous and disdainful expressions on their faces.

Han Shuo was taken aback, and finally realized that Phoebe's worry was not unreasonable. It seemed that he underestimated the energy of Grover and "Remnant Shadow". These days, I spend most of my time in the death cemetery, otherwise if I have stayed in the academy, I might have been assassinated by the sent masters.

"Uncle, what do you mean?" At this moment, Phoebe stood up suddenly, glared at Grover with a pretty face, and yelled wanting to tear her face.

"Good niece, don't be angry. I just want to tell everyone that your vision doesn't seem to be very good. If you want to take charge of the Buster Company, the most important thing is to have a far-sighted and wise vision. If you even choose a future husband, you must If you choose among the slaves, then I don’t think everyone will rest assured that you will be the chairman.” Grover still had a peaceful smile on his face, but the words in his mouth were very vicious.

"A person who can murder his own brother for the sake of profit, and keeps sending killers to try to kill his niece, I think he is even more unworthy of the position of president." Han Shuo also stood up, and looked at Gro with a sneer without fear. Buddha said that he didn't seem to know how terrible what he said, and paused for a moment. Under the surprised eyes of the audience, Han Shuo said again: "Please remember, I am now a student of Babylon College, and I no longer have the status of a slave. , and never will!"
