Smith noticed the worry on his secretary's face, then smiled and said,
"Are you suggesting that I cooperate with that short mule Guiliren, or that cooperating with the short mule who sides with the north will cause the higher-ups to have a problem with me!"
Hearing Smith's directness, the secretary smiled awkwardly.
"Director, you knew this would happen... why did you still cooperate with him!"
"Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
Seeing the confusion on his secretary's face, Smith smiled, and smiled quite broadly.
I have a question for you!
"Director, please speak!"
"Whose place is this now, and whose will it be in the future!"
How could someone who manages to become a personal secretary not be quick-witted!
The secretary understood the meaning of Smith's question the moment he asked it!
Now, this is the Queen's territory, and in the future, it will be the territory to the north!
In other words, no matter how you calculate it, this territory doesn't belong to Smith...
Since it doesn't belong to Smith, isn't that the same as using someone else's territory to make money for himself?!
If your wallet is full, do you still care what others think of you?
*Clap clap clap clap!*
Under Smith's watchful gaze, the secretary clapped her hands with an expression of admiration and said...
"Director, you truly live up to your title; you see things much more clearly than I do!"
"To make money on the Queen's territory...that's brilliant!"
Smith was beaming with delight at his secretary's flattery.
"You must remember one thing,"
"If direct confrontation were still effective, would Her Majesty the Queen have brought Li Wenyao, this traitor, into the open?"
"The Queen pushed Li Wenyao up here because direct confrontation is ineffective, so she wants to use some underhanded means to create some public opinion?"
"Since even Her Majesty the Woman has lost confidence in holding this place, shouldn't we, her subordinates, also think about ourselves?"
"After all, there's an old Chinese saying: 'A wise ruler doesn't let his servants go hungry!'"
"My greed will only prove that Her Majesty the Queen is a wise ruler, isn't that wonderful!"
Seeing that Smith had even articulated his greed for money as a profound principle, the secretary once again clapped with an expression of admiration.
"Take your time learning; the ways of being an official are not so simple..."
Smith waited a few more minutes, then suddenly the door was pushed open and his bodyguard walked in.
"Sir, Mona and that short mule have arrived!"
Upon hearing that his lucky charm had arrived, Smith immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and said...
"Please come in!"
"yes!"
As Gao Ren and Meng Na arrived at the door of the private room, the bodyguard pushed open the door and said...
"Please, gentlemen!"
Seeing the bodyguard's polite manner, Gao Ren and Meng Na both smiled knowingly.
Wow! Miss Mona, you look even more beautiful!
"I've wanted to tell you this for a long time: how can a beautiful lady like you be with that half-old man Liu Yaozu!"
"He doesn't look good standing next to you!"
"Look at Mr. Gao next to you now. He's handsome, dashing, and debonair. He's like a male protagonist straight out of a comic book!"
"Such a handsome man and a beautiful woman standing together...they're such a perfect match!"
Smith's flattery not only surprised Mona, but even Gao Ren's gaze towards him held a different expression...
Damn... this Commissioner Smith is something else!
This flattery has a bit of an eunuch's flavor to it...!
When Gao Ren saw that Smith's favorability rating towards him was as high as 70 points, only one thought came to his mind.
Throw money at him!
Having made this decision, Gao Ren snapped his fingers at Aji behind him.
Upon receiving the instructions, Aji placed the two combination lock boxes on the table. As Aji opened the boxes, Gao Ren said,
"I don't know what you like, Mr. Smith, but I've heard that you are a person of high moral character!"
"Therefore, I have taken the liberty of preparing two works of art for you, Mr. Smith, to appreciate. I hope you will not find them offensive!"
Gao Ren had barely finished speaking when Aji turned the box around to face Smith.
When Smith and his secretary saw that each of the two boxes contained a large, gleaming golden horse,
Smith's face immediately lit up with a satisfied expression.
"Mr. Gao, we're all friends, why are you being so polite!"
As Smith spoke, he was stroking the large golden horse in front of him with a look of pure bliss.
His favorability rating also increased by five points, reaching a total of seventy-five.
To further enhance Smith's positive impression of him, Gao Ren spoke with a smile,
"Mr. Smith, you can't truly appreciate the artistic value of this kind of artwork just by touching it!"
Upon hearing this, Smith instantly understood and chuckled, immediately stretching out his hands to take out the golden horse to test its weight...
The moment he saw the golden horse being picked up by Smith, his favorability rating towards him instantly jumped to eighty.
Gao Ren then smiled and said,
"Mr. Smith, are you satisfied with its artistic merit?"
The two golden horses in my hands must weigh at least thirty pounds, so two of them would weigh sixty pounds...
Converted to current gold prices, it would be worth over two million...
At that moment, Smith looked at the short, mule-like man in front of him and grew to like him more and more.
Although Liu Yaozu always gave him gifts, he had Li Wenyao as his backer.
Liu Yaozu, that bespectacled idiot, only ever gives gifts worth two or three hundred thousand yuan, nothing compared to Gao Ren, that short mule, who's so generous...
