Transformed into the DC World
Chapter 9
Entering the conference room, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the room. The chair in the middle was empty. Walter Steele, the black uncle who had met at the funeral, would marry Moira and become thea''s stepfather in the future. I don''t know whether there is any redundancy in Europe and America. Anyway, this gentleman will live in Quinn mansion with his mother and daughter in the next few years.
It''s a little strange to describe a black man as gentle as jade, but the uncle really has a superior demeanor and gives thea an encouraging look like looking at her younger generation.
Although this is her own company, it hasn''t fallen into her bowl after all. Thea came to worship the wharf today. She certainly couldn''t keep a cold face. She nodded and said hello to the black uncle. "Mr. Steele, nice to meet you."
"Please call me Walter. Welcome to the group." Walter was a little flattered by the courtesy of thea. In his impression, the girl kept a distance from everyone except old Robert. Before such a normal conversation, she only appeared on very private occasions.
Moira is now surrounded by happiness. Her daughter can communicate with her boyfriend normally. This is a good start, isn''t it! She has been avoiding Walter recently. She is afraid that her haunted daughter will see some scenes she shouldn''t see. She will be too stimulated and completely collapse.
After all, a 15-year-old girl, whose father and brother have just died, hasn''t slowed down yet. You tell her that it''s not your father who died, and your father is so and so. After another two days, you tell her that your mother will find you a stepfather again. Is it crazy for a person to have such a messy relationship? Anyway, Moira felt that if she changed to her daughter''s role, she would have to go to the Akam madhouse next door for treatment, but looking at thea''s strong appearance now, did Malcolm''s genes really make her more tenacious than ordinary people?
Then she kept introducing her daughter to the people in the room. This was so and so from the administration department and who and who from the finance department. After a circle of introduction, thea found that Walter was still the original vice president of the company. She remembered that he should take over the post of president, while her mother was in charge of finance. Did she remember it wrong or did history deviate?
Soon thea received her post as assistant to the president, commonly known as the little secretary, and the president was her mother.
In fact, she remembered correctly. It was really a small change in the plot here. Originally, the relationship between Moira and Walter warmed up very quickly, from colleagues to friends to boyfriends to marriage. They upgraded every day. They were almost 80 years old and played a flash marriage. The board saw that it was done and passed Walter''s order to be president.
Now, due to thea''s father''s exposure plan, Moira has been accompanying her daughter, and her boyfriend can only stand aside, so the relationship between the two has not reached that point, and she doesn''t want to arrange her charming daughter next to her mother''s boyfriend fiance. Her relationship is chaotic enough, so don''t make trouble!
After weighing many factors, Moira can only be the president herself and cultivate her daughter. In fact, from her heart, she is really not interested in this position, but now she can only work hard for her daughter.
The next meeting was boring. This Department wanted a raise and that Department wanted to lay off staff. Although it could not be said to be trivial, it was also some daily chores for the group company.
Moira Yuguang has been paying attention to thea for fear that she might make some boring nail snapping and yawning. Unexpectedly, her daughter sat upright and listened to the speeches of several executives without any impatience, and kept recording something in her notebook.
My family has a daughter who has just grown up. Moira is very happy. She is quite happy that her daughter is like herself.
The meeting lasted one hour. Moira made a summary and said that the meeting was a successful meeting. I hope you will continue to shine and heat for the company. You can kneel down.
Just as he was about to serve tea to the guests, a middle-aged man with a head of Swertia mouse smiled and said, "Miss Quinn, what''s your opinion on attending our meeting for the first time?"
Ouch, thea immediately judged that the man didn''t deal with his mother, or with the Quinn family. What opinion can a newcomer have? You''re right. Others say they''re arrogant and wrong. They act as a laughing stock in vain. This is bullying themselves. They don''t understand these workplace traps when they are young!
"Mr. Andre, I''m new here. I don''t know the company at all. I can''t even put forward ordinary suggestions. Besides, you''re kidding." thea replied politely.
Unexpectedly, the little girl of the Quinn family was not fooled, which was much better than her dandy brother. The swearing man still didn''t give up. He continued to say, "it''s okay. Just say it. We are all your father''s old subordinates and your elders. Everyone won''t laugh." he also made a ha ha after saying that he was very open-minded.
Ya, what do you mean people don''t laugh? Before I said anything, you defined it as a joke! Thea was so angry that she came up.
After looking through his notes, eh, this grandson is the director of the weapons development department he coveted for a long time. Old Robert''s eyes are really not good. This man is obviously dissatisfied with his family. Such a person has stayed for three years. The weapons development department is too important to his future. He must be let go.
"Mr. Andre, I really don''t have any suggestions for the company, but... I have a question I hope you can answer for me." thea said slowly.
"Please say"
"Your report just now mentioned that the group should increase its investment in the weapon R & D department, right? I have seen that the group''s investment in the weapon R & D department has increased month on month in recent years, and has increased by about 20% every year on the basis of the previous year. Why is this figure so coincidental?"
Hearing this question, the man named Andre breathed a sigh of relief. "There is a scientific basis in it. Why can''t the increase of 20% be said to be a coincidence? I explained it to the vice president." the implication is very complex. I''m afraid you don''t understand it.
Walter nodded to show that he knew it.
Thea was very calm, which was within her expectation. "Mr. Andre has been in charge of the weapons R & D department since three years ago, but in the R & D report of these three years, 19 technologies were declared in 2004, 12 in 2005 and 17 in 2006. Does the strength of our technicians fluctuate greatly?"
Andre had a hunch of what she was going to say, but when she came to this point, she could only hold on "yes, it fluctuates a lot. That''s what scientific and technological research is like!"
Thea smiled. "This g-12 anti-G suit declared in 2005 is a special garment for high overload protection. Why did you ask the group to allocate funds for research in your report just now, which was studied and completed two years ago? Can you explain why?"
