"Engineering Company?"
"Yes, engineering company!"
"Do you think you have too much money and it starts to drift again?"
"How is it possible? Spending money is to make better money. Do you understand? Oh, yes, you majored in international relations. You don't understand economic matters!"
"Thank you, but I have a bachelor's degree in international economics and commerce from Oxford. Unlike some people, I didn't even finish college!"
"What's the point? I didn't finish college, but I went to college! That's enough!"
Shepard patted his chest proudly and said seriously.
"What's the meaning?"
Because Shepard was speaking in ordinary language and not in English, Parker didn't understand what he was saying. However, because Shepard often gave examples of famous allusions in ancient China, she had already begun to study related things. Maybe , Shepard’s days of using Mandarin to connotate others are coming to an end. Chinese website
But at least now, he can tell jokes without restraint.
"It means there is no end to learning! You can never finish learning, so you have to keep learning!"
"But what does this have to do with the engineering company? And is the blast wall you mentioned really that effective?"
"It's definitely not that bad!"
Shepard thought very well about explosion-proof walls, but the problem was that he didn't know many practitioners in similar industries, and Smith didn't know anyone either. The old man knew a lot of unscrupulous practitioners, but There are no engineering professionals, so it can be seen that even the agents in the civil engineering industry don’t want to deal with it!
As for Parker, the old London Union Jack naturally didn't have many civil engineering friends, and since it was related to his future fortune, Shepard didn't want to just find a factory to get things done hastily.
But when he was troubled by this, Smith showed him the way.
"There is someone who definitely knows someone relevant in this industry. It just depends on whether you are willing to find him or not!"
"I've already guessed it!"
Shepard waved his hand extremely irritably. He knew the person Smith was talking about. Not only did he know him, but he also had a relationship with that person for the rest of his life!
Because that is the cheap daddy in his life, Old John, who is currently serving as the deputy commander of the Sixth Fleet.
The latter is not only the deputy fleet commander, but also a captain and base commander before. Of course, although his outstanding abilities are indispensable for his promotion, the bigger reason is that there is an older John, Shepard. My cheap grandfather also followed the bull Halsey to beat up the Japanese Navy during World War II. He also served as the commander of the Sixth Fleet. In a way, this can be regarded as a legacy!
If nothing else happens, Shepard will follow what the old John in the middle wants to enter the Naval War College, and then go to a certain warship in the Navy to gain qualifications, and then rely on military connections to rise all the way up, at least Shepard's This is how the cheap brother Mitchell ended up, but because of his past life experience, Shepard was extremely resistant to others forcing him to plan his life, so the relationship between him and his family was very tense.
Smith naturally wanted to restore the relationship between the incompatible father and son. He once worked for Old John and later served as his deputy. Naturally, he knew all about the grievances between father and son, and he never In some respects, although John Sr. was dismissive of his youngest son, he still secretly paid attention to the latter and took care of him a lot. Shepard also felt this, but no one made it clear. .
"That guy will come back for a meeting this week and stay for a month!"
"I know, I'll ask him!"
Shepard sighed. Of course he couldn't hide. Anyway, if they started arguing again, he would probably just walk away.
Then………
"By the way, are you trying to make peace with me? Are you so kind to apologize to others? Your Majesty the Rear Admiral? And you, what about your integrity as sailors? You will do whatever this old guy tells you to do? He tells you to go You’re going to be a self-destruct infantryman in Moscow, right?”
Looking at the four big-bodied sailors, they were like door gods lying in front of the double-open wooden door, tied with ropes.
The stout Shepard was arching on the carpet in an orz posture while yelling at the burly old man sitting behind the desk, looking through documents without distraction.
"Old man, let me untie you, otherwise..."
"What else?"
Old John, who had previously turned a deaf ear to Shepard's various commotions, put down the documents in his hands, then leaned on his chair and lit a good Cuban cigar for himself. He puffed out the smoke leisurely and asked with a smile.
"Otherwise I'll go naked and run around the Pentagon!"
"That's great. Why don't we go in the afternoon and you guys can help him?"
Old John was not afraid of the latter's threat at all, and even planned to ask his men to help Shepard, but the sailors stayed in place like wooden stakes, pretending not to hear.
These sailors are all veterans of the fleet headquarters, and they are well versed in the affairs of the officers' families. Naturally, they know the twists and turns involved. For example, this bad old man who asked them to tie his son into a caterpillar was actually a The old arrogant man likes to show off his two sons in the headquarters. There is even a map of Angola hanging in his office, and there are books on the bookshelves such as Introduction to African Style.
Therefore, at this moment, they only need to act as doorposts to prevent the other party from escaping. Other things have nothing to do with them!
"Well, I can't do it today. My stomach hurts. I will definitely go tomorrow!"
"Huh, you're still too early to play this trick with me. I was at sea back then..."
"I'm tired of hearing about you being sunk by the enemy at sea, then drifting for three months, and eating eight sharks alive before you were rescued. In fact, you were rescued in less than three minutes after you were sunk. , eating sharks is just a story you told us when you were a child!"
"That's not important, you just need to know that your father and I have also experienced strong winds and waves!"
"Yes, I was promoted to brigadier general at the age of 48 and to major general at the age of 50. Most people are not that fast!"
"Isn't that all the result of my own efforts? It has nothing to do with your grandfather!"
"I believe!"
"real?"
"Really, can you untie me now?"
"You first swear not to quarrel with me today!"
"I swear I will never quarrel with you today!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Old John then waved his hand, and several sailors untied Shepard and immediately left the room. Their mission had been completed, and they could now disperse to go shopping and have a drink!
"Smith has already told me about your matter. It's very good. It seems that you haven't run away in vain all these years!"
Old John's tone was full of admiration for Shepard.
