Chapter 229 Chapter 229 [VIP]
In the days leading up to the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony, Megan would cram on various company management systems with Arthur after school. On weekends, she would go through pre-job training with the newly recruited workshop workers. She also wanted to understand how the workshop operated and the entire process from design to production of a product.
Although it is not in compliance with regulations, they call themselves a company and are currently just a "small workshop".
The big boss's daughter was happy to do this, and the boss himself didn't say anything. However, the current general manager, Amy Hilton, knew that Megan would inherit the company in the future, so there was nothing wrong with knowing it in advance.
Moreover, Megan did not make trouble during the training. On the contrary, she was serious and asked questions when she did not understand something. Naturally, the other adults were not to be outdone. They were all recommended by the former factory owner. Their ages varied, but according to the lady, they were all honest and reliable candidates. Of course, if they did not meet the company's requirements, it would be okay to send them back.
Megan also got to know the technicians in the factory. Due to the complexity of the machine operation, there are dedicated people responsible for inspection and daily maintenance. However, due to the risks of machine operation, before the official opening, there are safety officers from professional organizations to check the machine functions and fire protection, etc., and various reports will be issued. Only when they are fully qualified will production be allowed.
What is the best way to test the machine? It is to put it into use, that is, to conduct a trial production before opening.
As for the products they are going to produce, Arthur has already found a toy designer, prepared the models, and even debugged the assembly line. This part of the work will be done by the machine manufacturer for free the first time, and after that it will be their own business.
Once the test report is submitted, the certification will be issued quickly.
On the day of the company's opening ribbon-cutting ceremony, Damon and his daughter each invited people they knew.
Arthur naturally changed to a role that could be more prominent. Even if she was just playing house with the children, her serious attitude was definitely worth the adults' attention. What if she was too perfunctory and left regrets?
Arthur went to the company early in the morning. He also had to direct the employees to make arrangements and preparations. After all, in addition to the people he invited, there would also be officials from the East District's corporate management department, which had long been derogatory.
Those people originally didn't expect this small factory to be opened and bring any changes to the East District, but when it was actually established, they had to show off their presence or demonstrate their existence. They couldn't just do nothing, right?
The East District has changed a lot in the past decade or so. It used to be full of vitality and momentum, and was trying to consolidate its status as an industrial zone. However, when that abominable policy was promulgated, the East District gradually became what everyone avoids. Officials with connections had long been transferred away as the companies moved out, and those who remained were either incompetent or native residents of the East District who were reluctant to leave.
They had wasted more than a decade, earning a salary that barely made ends meet, and had long forgotten what the East District used to look like.
In the early years, some businesses attempted to expand here, but they all fizzled out, inexplicably failing. Perhaps it was extortion from gangsters? Or robberies and threats? Or perhaps worker protests? In short, no business connected to this place could thrive.
Now another factory has been opened, on the site of a factory once attempted by the East Enders themselves, but hasn't this man called Arthur Damon been robbed, blackmailed, or threatened with theft? Who wouldn't be curious?
There weren't many people who came to congratulate sincerely, most of them were there to watch the fun, but even so, there weren't many people who came.
Arthur was busy entertaining guests at the company, and Megan at home got up earlier than usual.
Breakfast was made by Bob. Megan was about to go out after eating. She jumped on the steps at the door and soon she saw Jason who came alone.
Because Jason was invited to attend the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony of White Bear Manufacturing, it was a friendship between the two children, and had nothing to do with the Wayne Group. If the Wayne Group invested in a small company with no foundation and no reputation, then public opinion alone would overwhelm this small company and bring many unpredictable troubles to their business.
So he came by himself, without asking Alfred to drive him, and took the subway and then a taxi to Damon's door.
Megan looked up and saw a spirited young man running towards her. He was wearing a well-tailored suit and had carefully groomed his hair before going out. He looked mature and steady, but when he saw his good friend, he ignored his image and ran straight towards her.
It’s a good thing he was wearing a bow tie today, otherwise the tie would definitely fly very high.
He ran for a long distance, but his face was not red and he was not out of breath. He stood still lightly, with his hands behind his back, tilted his head and leaned towards Megan and said, "You got up so early today!"
Jason carefully looked at Megan's face and confirmed that she showed no signs of staying up late. It was obvious that even though Megan's wish was about to be fulfilled, she was neither arrogant nor impatient. The expression between her eyebrows was the same as usual, but with a slight look of joy and anticipation.
Megan also tilted her head in the same direction as Jason, "You're up early too, Jason. We'll leave soon."
Then the two children sat on the steps in front of the door, chatting casually. When Bob came out after cleaning up, he already had experience. He cleaned the steps in front of the door every day and did not walk forward rashly after going out. But he was holding the car keys in his hand and was a little afraid to disturb them while they were talking.
But Megan had already heard him open the door, turned around and said, "Bob, drive us to White Bear."
Bob had a kind and peaceful expression on his face and responded in a low voice. Then he drove the car behind the house to the road in front. Of course, the two children sat together in the back seat. His driving skills were not very good. Megan was a little carsick, so she didn't say anything and just leaned on the car window to look outside.
Jason and Megan huddled together. Jason took out a box of mints from his pocket, took out one and stuffed it into Megan's mouth. She looked at the candy and ate it. A cool feeling went from her mouth to her stomach, and she felt a little more energetic.
Megan exhaled and smelled the mint scent. Jason also ate one, closed the candy box and put it in her pocket. "You are the protagonist today! I thought you might not be able to sleep. If you are not feeling well, eating mint candy can help you feel a little better." He even considered such small details for Megan.
Megan, who had recovered her spirits, looked at him and thought for a moment, "Don't be nervous, I'm ready to fight!"
She raised her hands high, a Superman take-off posture. Although Superman flies very fast and often leaves after saving people, there are always some professional or non-professional photographers who can capture the picture blurry.
In Gotham, although not many people like Superman, Superman is definitely more famous than Gotham's urban legend Batman.
When the two kids looked at each other, Jason suddenly raised his chin and said, "You imitate Superman."
What's wrong with learning from Superman?
Megan nodded in understanding: "Oh, you don't like Superman, he must have been mean to you." Although it was just a few words and a slight expression, who didn't understand each other?
Jason smiled with his eyes crooked, and did not deny it. He leaned close to Megan's ear and whispered to her, "When I first met Superman, he was actually very good, but there was an accident..."
He still felt a little scared when he talked about it, and he was afraid of being completely controlled by others and almost being killed. Obviously, this was not an experience that could be easily turned over. When he whispered, Megan took the initiative to hold his hand, which meant to comfort him.
Jason snuggled up with her and said, "He almost killed me that time, luckily Bruce got there in time."
Superman's body is so terrifyingly strong that he can even crush diamonds with his bare hands. His mind is actually not easy to control, but once he is controlled, because of his terrifying strength, he will cause extremely terrible disasters. Many times he will sweep his eyes around with heat vision, or use freezing breath, and he will also lift vehicles and buildings to cause huge damage. He can also fly!
Megan didn't know how to comfort him, so she said, "Superman is bad, huh." She was inexplicably angry.
This angry little bear clearly genuinely dislikes Superman, even though she hasn't met him or met him yet.
Jason also snorted. He was not magnanimous at all, but there was clearly more arrogance in that snort. After he had said something bad about Superman, he was no longer so annoyed or afraid after finding a partner who shared his hatred for the enemy.
"Actually, he apologized to me later, but anyway..."
"I'm not friends with him." Megan was still angry, and then Jason poked her cheek.
While waiting for the traffic light, Bob saw two children huddled together in the rearview mirror, but there was no ambiguous atmosphere and no inappropriate behavior. His risk radar did not move, so he silently withdrew his gaze. Only Jason was a little puzzled. Why did Megan's bodyguard look at him like that?
Megan looked up at Jason seriously and immediately noticed his hair. She touched it directly, and Jason also lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong? How does it feel?"
Megan pinched a strand of hair in front of his forehead. It was obvious that she had applied hair gel because the feel was completely different from usual. It was still slightly curled, but it looked much more organized.
"The hair is so hard."
Jason simply lowered his head and said to her, "If you pat it gently, you will find that the surface of my hair is covered with that stuff." Why did he ask her to pat it gently? Because he was going to attend an important occasion today, and it was best if his well-groomed hair was not messy. If it was messy, he would remember to tidy it up again.
Megan gently placed her palm on it and found that the entire surface of his hair was hard. She was not interested in it anymore. Instead, she picked up the tail of her braid and rubbed it, thinking that this was the comfortable feeling.
Jason, of course, saw her preference and said, "I rarely go to such lengths to clean things up. It was Ah Fu who helped me this morning."
He only cared about his appearance when he accompanied Bruce to important events, but he'd actually learned how to maintain his appearance from Alfred long ago. Normally, he didn't really care. After all, his adopted father was a wealthy Gotham tycoon, right? Who would be so tactless as to criticize him in public? Only the tabloids were making malicious speculations about him and Bruce.
As for why he needed Alfu to help him today, it was because Bruce was still sleeping in and hadn't gotten up yet, and of course he wasn't going to be perfunctory when being invited by a good friend.
Although it didn't look obvious, when he was in Wayne Manor, he looked at himself in the full-length mirror over and over again, and even straightened his cuffs and trouser legs, so much so that Alfred teased him.
Jason's attitude towards the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of White Bear Manufacturing was more serious than Megan's. She thought about it and realized that she was also wearing new clothes, but they were not as carefully taken care of, but almost the same.
"When the ribbon-cutting ceremony comes, you and I will stand together."
"I've invited a reporter from a tabloid newspaper to take photos and videos. The ribbon-cutting photo will be developed and then hung in the company."
Since everyone is dressed up well, they must be photographed and take pictures.
Jason couldn't help but laugh, a bright smile on his youthful and high-spirited face. "But I'm not a member of the company? Is that okay?"
Meghan looked at him and said seriously, "What does it matter? I just want it this way."
The King is——
She wanted it, and she got it. No second thoughts.
