Hearing Jeffrey's words, Cyril shuddered and suddenly woke up.
If the title of director is abolished, it means that he has been completely abandoned by Jeffrey, and will be excluded from the list of successors.
This was absolutely unacceptable to him.
And when his eyes fell on those people in the audience who usually fawned over him, their faces could not hide their disappointment and disgust, and their mood sank to the bottom.
Cyril smiled slightly awkwardly, and then said: "Sorry, I was impulsive. It seems that everyone agrees with Gloria. As his uncle, I am happy about this and hope that she can take on the role well." Director of the Chamber of Commerce and make more contributions to the Chamber of Commerce.”
Cyril's beautiful words did not receive any positive response. Instead, there was a burst of cheers in the banquet hall.
Gloria looked at Cyril with a smile and said, "Thank you, Uncle Cyril, for eliminating everyone's misunderstanding about me. I also hope that you can work with me to do your part for the children."
"I...I will donate one million copper coins to that foundation today to build the school building." Cyril's expression looked like he had eaten shit, but he still nodded and said.
Gloria continued to smile and said: "Then I would like to thank you on behalf of those children. I can ask Mars to help you handle the donation later. He is the person responsible for the connection between Dailan and the foundation. He is relatively familiar with this aspect. You only need to You need to give him the invoice and he can help you get it done.”
"Okay." Cyril nodded with a dark face, then turned around and quickly walked off the stage.
Today was a great humiliation for him. He had lost his wife and lost his troops. The issue he had to consider now was no longer how to get Gloria out, but how to restore his position in Jeffrey's heart.
Gloria was not in a hurry to step down, nor was she too excited about winning the vote. She said with a sincere expression: "Thank you all the directors for your support in voting. I accept the result with surprise and fear, but while As an opportunity for the year-end conference, I personally would like to appeal to the children who have not yet been able to enter school:
The students of Chaos Academy are about to have a holiday, which means that a new semester will come soon. There are now at least 50,000 school-age children in Chaos City who cannot enter school, and the funds currently raised by the foundation, as well as Chaos The expanded campus of the academy can only accommodate 5,000 new students, and there is still a huge shortage of teachers.
Those children who cannot enter school, unless they have extraordinary talents, most of them can only do the most basic manual labor because they have not studied. This is unfair to them.
If the members of the Aden Chamber of Commerce present are interested in providing some assistance to these children, you can directly find Teacher Luna, or come to me. I hope we can do our part so that more children can be like yours. Children also go to school to study, gain knowledge, and change their own destiny. "
There was endless applause in the banquet hall, people talked quietly, and there was some new content about the donation.
"Thank you." Gloria bowed to everyone, and then walked down the high platform gracefully.
Soon a businessman came forward to communicate with her. Mars followed Gloria with a notebook and pen in his hand, writing down a name and an amount of money in the notebook from time to time.
"People like this who speak out for children's education have not yet appeared in our Los Empire." Earl Abraham sat in the VIP table, looked at Gloria and sighed.
"Father once said that ordinary people don't need to be too smart. If they are too smart, they will be difficult to manage, and those who think they are smart are even more troublesome." Vanessa whispered, paused for a while, and then said: " I don’t think that’s quite right.”
Abraham nodded with a smile and said: "Those smart guys just kill a group of them every now and then, and those who follow are just clowns. But I don't think it's a bad thing to make more people smart." , Really smart people are civilized, know the law and observe etiquette, but will spontaneously maintain order, just like most people in a chaotic city."
"Know the law and obey the etiquette." Vanessa thought thoughtfully, and after a while, she looked at Abraham and asked, "Uncle Abraham, why don't you suggest to my father that he correct himself? "
"Your Majesty naturally has your Majesty's thoughts, and maybe what he thinks is right." Abraham shook his head with a smile, picked up a piece of delicate pastry and put it into his mouth, chewed it, and then said: "I like eating, drinking, and having fun. Others I'm just talking nonsense, who do you think will believe what I say?"
"Brother Sean, don't brother Qiao Xiu know it?" Vanessa asked.
"Sean is more like your father, and Qiao Xiu is more interested in magic than education. They also like to obey the guidance of the common people who are not very smart." Abraham smiled and said: "You know, with Dealing with smart people is more tiring than dealing with fools."
Vanessa looked at Abraham and said with a determined smile: "I believe, I believe what Uncle Abraham said, a civilized empire built by smart people is the future of the Los Empire."
Abraham paused while chewing and looked up at Vanessa with a bit of surprise in his eyes. However, he quickly threw half of the pastry into his mouth and said with a relaxed smile: "This Just talk about it in the City of Chaos, but don’t talk nonsense when you return to Luodu, especially don’t tell His Majesty, otherwise he will definitely say that I brought you to the City of Chaos to teach you bad things.”
"My father said that women cannot discuss politics, and I have no interest in politics, but I think it is good for children to study. After returning to Luodu, I decided to open a school so that more children from ordinary families can study. Vanessa said with a smile.
Abraham's eyes lit up and he nodded: "I think it's good. If you want to build a school, I will support you. I will give you the land and money to build a school as big as you want."
"Uncle, do you want to go back with me to run the school?"
"That's not possible, then I'm stealing your limelight." Abraham smiled and waved his hand, "I'd better stay in the city of chaos to eat hot pot, make skewers, and live by my side."
"Uncle, you've gone too far." Vanessa looked at Abraham with some resentment, and her enthusiasm for returning home to contribute to education was extinguished in an instant.
"Ahem, look, am I not old? How can I, an old man, be allowed to run back and forth?" Abraham said matter-of-factly.
…
Mag was invited to Michael's box, and Michael was the only one in the box.
Michael looked at Mag who came in and said with a smile: "Boss Mai, let me tell you something. If nothing else happens, the envoy from the Falk tribe will arrive in the City of Chaos tomorrow and invite you to go to the Twilight Forest to help Gaili. The coronation dinner party is responsible for the cooking of the banquet dishes."
