Chapter 9 Confrontation at the meeting

Entering the conference room, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the room, the chair in the middle was empty, and the one on the left was Walter Steele, the black uncle who had met once at the funeral, and will marry Moira Thea's stepfather, I don't know if Europe and the United States have joined the family. Anyway, this gentleman will live in Quinn's mansion with his mother and daughter in the next few years.

It's a bit strange to describe a black man as warm and smooth, but this uncle is indeed very personable, and he gave Thea an encouraging look like he was looking at his younger generation.

Although this is my own company, it has not yet fallen into my own bowl. Thea, who came to worship the pier today, must not have a cold face, and nodded and said hello to the black uncle's gesture, Mr. Steele. ,Nice to meet you.

Please call me Walter, welcome to the group. Walter was a little flattered by Thea's politeness. In his impression, this girl kept a distance from everyone except old Robert, and normal conversations like this only appeared in extremely private conversations before. occasion.

Moira is now also surrounded by a lot of happiness. It's a good start for her daughter to communicate with her boyfriend normally, isn't it! She has been avoiding Walter recently, for fear that her elusive daughter will see some scenes that she shouldn't watch, and she will collapse completely because of the stimulation.

After all, for a fifteen-year-old girl, her father and brother just passed away, and she hasn't recovered yet. You told her that it was not your father who died, but that your biological father was so-and-so. After two more days, you can tell her again. She, your mother wants to find you a stepfather. Such a messy relationship is a person who must be crazy, right? Anyway, Moira felt that she would have to go to the Arkham Asylum next door for treatment when she switched to the role of her daughter, but looking at Thea's strength now, could it be that Malcolm's genes made her more tough than ordinary people?

Next, I kept introducing everyone in the room to my daughter. This is so-and-so from the administration department, and who is this from the finance department. After a circle of introductions, Thea discovered that Walter was still the original vice president of the company. She remembered that he should take over as the president, and My mother is in charge of finance. Did I remember it wrong or did the history shift?

Soon Thea received her own position, the assistant to the president, commonly known as the little secretary, and the president was her own mother.

In fact, she remembered correctly. It was indeed 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. Almost eighty years old and played a flash marriage. The board of directors approved Walter's order as president.

But now because of 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 does not want to arrange her charming daughter in her own place. My mother's boyfriend's fiancé, their relationship is already chaotic enough, so don't create chaos!

After a lot of consideration, Moira could only be the president herself and train her daughter. In fact, she was really not interested in this position, but for her daughter, she could only do it now.

The meeting that followed was boring and boring. This department had to raise wages and that department had to lay off staff. Although it could not be said to be trivial, it was also a daily chores for the group company.

Moira has been paying attention to Thea from the corner of the eye, for fear that she will snap her nails and yawn out of boredom. Unexpectedly, her daughter is sitting upright, constantly listening to the speeches of several executives, without the slightest impatience, and Keep writing down something in a notebook.

There is a daughter in my family who is just growing up. Moira is very relieved, and she is quite relieved that her daughter is like her own.

After the meeting was held for an hour, Moira made a summary, saying that the meeting was a successful meeting and a victory. I hope that the comrades will continue to shine for the company, and you can kneel.

When he was about to serve tea to the guests, a middle-aged man with a roe-headed mouse said with a smile, Miss Quinn, what are your thoughts on attending our meeting for the first time?

oops,

Thea immediately judged in her heart that this person did not deal with her mother, or rather the Quin family. What's your opinion as a newbie? If you are right, others say that you are arrogant, but if you are wrong, you will be a laughing stock. This is bullying yourself when you are young and do not understand these workplace traps!

Mr. Andre, I'm new here and I don't know much about the company at all. I can't even make ordinary suggestions, let alone high opinion. You're joking. Thea replied politely.

I didn't expect that the little girl of the Quinn family was not fooled, this is much better than her playful brother, the roe-headed and rat-eyed man was still a little reluctant, and continued to say, It's okay, just talk about it, we are all your father's old subordinates, it's all counted. Your elders, no one will laugh at you. After speaking, he slapped haha, expressing that he was very open-minded.

Damn, why don't you make jokes? The old lady hasn't said anything yet, you are defined as a joke! Thea was heartbroken.

I flipped through my notes, hey, this grandson is the director of the weapons development department that I coveted for a long time. Old Robert is really not very good at seeing people. This person is obviously dissatisfied with his own family. Such a person has stayed for three years. The 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 help me answer. Thea said slowly.

Please say

Your report just now mentioned that the group should increase its investment in the weapons research and development department, right? I have seen the group's investment in the weapons research and development department in recent years, and they are all increasing month-on-month, and each year is based on the previous year's foundation. The increase is about 20%, why is this number so coincidental?

Hearing this was the problem, the man named Andre breathed a sigh of relief, There is a scientific basis for this. Why the 20% increase can only be said to be a coincidence. I explained it to the vice president. , it's very complicated here to tell you, a little girl, I'm afraid you don't understand.

Walter also nodded to show that he knew about it.

Thea is very calm, which is within her expectations, Mr. Andrei has been in charge of the weapons R\u0026D department three years ago, but in the three-year R\u0026D report, 19 technologies were declared in 2004 and 12 in 2005. , 17 in 2006, do our technical personnel fluctuate greatly?

Andrei had a hunch that she was going to say something, but when the words came to this point, he could only insist: Yes, it is a lot of ups and downs, and scientific and technological research is like this!

Thea chuckled, This G-12 anti-G suit declared in 2005 is a special suit with high overload protection, why is the research completed two years ago in your report mixed with a lot of research projects? China also asks the group to fund research? Can you explain why?
