Chapter 12: Chapter 11: Tommy's troubles
Tommy has been happy without Thea's harassment in recent days. He and Laurel are progressing quickly. They are gradually moving from physical communication to emotional communication. Let's talk about feelings first. This means we bought a computer and analyzed the hardware first, and then the software, which can be modified later.
Life is not always happy. Master Tommy naturally has problems. His father didn't know what medicine he had taken. He would visit him every other day, call, and pressure him. Yesterday, he sent many text messages and told him to go work at the group! Why do you want to compete with Thea, and what are you competing with her for? You must say you're going to Queen Enterprise, or that Thea is coming to Merlin Group to discuss fair competition between the two. Now everyone is going back to their homes to find their parents. What competition is there? After reading the text message, Tommy became increasingly certain that his father's delusion had reached an advanced stage, and he couldn't even imagine the basic logical relationship.
Tommy and Laurel finished their meal that day, generously paying with their credit cards, and both were heading for some healthy exercise. Then the waiter came back, bowed, and said, "Sir, you should give me money."
"What's wrong? Why did I have to eat with you all this time and now you're asking for money?" Tommy's personality was still very good, though he felt a little embarrassed and not angry. Under the watchful eye of his girlfriend, he kindly asked.
The waiter didn't dare offend this regular customer. This customer never asked the price, but the store's main client bowed and said, "Your credit card is blocked, or you can exchange it for me."
So he tried three cards, and none of them worked. It proved that all of them were blocked. Tommy knew his father must have done something devious, so he rubbed his face and said he would try again next time.
After sending Laurel back to her apartment, she wasn't in the mood to exercise and told him to practice yoga alone. Tommy angrily ran back home. This was the first time he had returned to this house in a month.
At this moment, Malcolm was dressed like a samurai with wide sleeves. He was sitting on the floor. There were two tea bowls and a teapot on the table in front of him. There was a large "Zen" written on the wall. He hoped his concept would be: Let Tommy calm down and listen to his story patiently.
It turned out that his move was really a case of the blind leading the blind. Tommy and Oliver had dropped out of elementary school to compete in a boat race, which he was more skilled at, but he couldn't even recognize English words, which complicated even the Chinese character "Zen." If you could find it, it would be a miracle!
Upon seeing his father standing with his eyes closed, silent, Tommy was startled, thinking his father was dead. He reached out to check his breathing and wanted to confirm whether he should call a doctor or a lawyer.
After understanding his father's purpose, Tommy was so angry that he didn't feel like listening anymore. He said harshly, "Tomorrow, go to work at Merlin Group!" And left, despite Tommy's strong protests.
Tommy, who failed in his attempts, also knew that his arms couldn't wrap around his own thighs. The relationship between him and Laurel was heating up. Although financial resources had little effect on their relationship, Laurel was ambitious and planned to open her own law firm. The only place where his education could help was in money.
Although Tommy was mentally prepared and expected to behave better to get his money back as quickly as possible, he ended up sleeping too much the next day and ran to Merlin Group at ten after several problems. There's no way to live at night, not having the habit of doing things in the morning, and the biological clock is not easy to adjust.
Malcolm didn't ask much and, like Queen Group, gave Tommy the position of assistant to the president. Normally, Tommy, being six years older than Thea, would be in a relatively inferior position, but the old man couldn't care anymore.
According to privileged news, in just three days, Thea had basically categorized the middle and high levels of the group, could remember everyone's name, their hometown, and graduate school, and knew how to talk about each person's interests. Yesterday, a high school graduate celebrated her birthday, and she also expressed condolences on behalf of the group. This morning, she made a proposal for humanized craftsmanship.
Almost no one opposed this proposal because there was no reason to object. Anyway, everyone supported the proposal, regardless of who sent the real-time video to Malcolm.
Malcolm's human resources management experts gave high marks to Thea without knowing her academic background. The only weakness at the moment was her youth. As for the impact of academic qualifications, although not irrelevant, it wasn't a major obstacle. After all, there are many entrepreneurs in Europe and the U.S. who dropped out of college to start their own businesses. Haven't you seen Tommy, who didn't finish elementary school, getting a job? Thea's high school education is considered much more advanced than his!
Looking at the comments made by his subordinates, she was described as intelligent, witty, flexible, and able to use her own advantages, with almost no criticism.
Malcolm was proud of his daughter's excellence but angry at his son's disagreement. He called the group monitor and wanted to see what Tommy was doing. It took ten minutes to discover that Tommy was talking to the receptionist girl. He was so angry that he quickly took a fast-acting heart relief pill and ate a handful. He secretly hated Oliver, who was suspected of being dead but was actually alive. His son had been so honest as a child, but it was the kind of child who led the child astray!
He has eyes and ears in Queen Group, and Moira has someone in Merlin Group. Tommy's performance on the first day was sent directly to his desk. Compared to the CEO's external video connection with the daughter of several branch directors, Moira felt that the competition was already won, no suspense! Upon seeing Tommy's performance, as a mother, she automatically thought about how well-behaved Oliver was when he was a child.
Oliver, who was thinking about the Purgatory Island in southern China, had no idea that someone was thinking about him and sneezed.
"Focus, you have to learn how to survive, understand?" Yao Fei, with a beard and long hair, was walking through the jungle with Oliver. They had been together for over a month. Yao Fei had already started setting up a training plan. He spoke to Oliver in English.
I don't know which uncle made a mistake, but he made a big effort to correct Oliver's terrible habits and train him to be his successor. His teaching method is very primitive, that is, the lute, the lute rejects. Most of Green Arrow's martial arts are physical memories. They were all defeated by their own enemies. They are all types of slingshots, tied to a small stool, and pressed on the table. There's very little time for actual system learning.
The two recognized that they took a long time, caught a bird, and solved the breakfast problem. Yao Fei continued teaching him how to use a bow and arrow, but Oliver always thought it was ridiculous to learn archery as a modern person. In fact, he didn't dare, but the effect of the learning was still a bit funny.
Yao Fei's daughter, who was so well-behaved, had never met anyone so stubborn. There was no other choice. She could only continue fighting with a piece of wood until she learned.
