Overturned Tower

Only a handful of the Big Seven's short-lived directors have special, irreplaceable talents.

After all, no matter how good humans are, their experience and personal abilities are really difficult to surpass those of elves who have lived for such a long time. Those few people who are capable and ambitious are basically used by the elves as tools to do hard work... and the rest are similar to Dodgson, who have no ambition and no paranoia. people.

After all, the elf can manage the company perfectly on his own. Other directors, for whom there is actually no need at all.

It's just that the dragon requires them to recruit an equal number of short-lived species to manage the company together, so it is possible for short-lived species to join the board of directors.

But the elves were obviously a little reluctant.

Therefore, it is different from those other large, medium and small companies.

These mortal directors within the Seven Giants are, on the contrary, the most kind-hearted group among the "directors" class... This is not because becoming a director will make you gentle, but because those elves only Allow these harmless good guys and bastards to become directors.

In order not to cause additional trouble and internal friction, the elves are unwilling to hand over real power to greedy people.

These directors are positioned like lubricants...they do hold power in their hands.

But there is no possibility for them to go up any more, and it is very easy for them to slide down again.

As a result, these short-lived directors can only think about what they can do for the people under them, or what they can leave behind for their own factions, in order to maintain their positions as much as possible. The only difference is that these directors plan to keep as much of the benefits as they want to themselves and as much as they want to pass on to their subordinates.

However, the bulk still belongs to the company. They can't take it with them, and it will never be theirs.

Unlike these short-lived species, which gradually formed "factions" based on supporting relationships, elves have no so-called direct subordinates, let alone their own factions. In other words, their subordinates are these short-lived directors who are nominally equal in power to them.

Although they can participate in the board of directors, they also hold 3% of the company's shares.

But when they leave the company, these shares will be forced to be repurchased by the board of directors.

Although the money they received is enough for them to care for themselves in retirement, it is impossible to inherit their position or shares to their children.

Therefore, before they retire, they will try their best to bring their children into the company, arrange them in a higher position, and cultivate the ability to work normally...

Otherwise, once they retire... they will no longer have a say in the company.

In other words, these "directors" are actually just higher-level wage earners. This world is still controlled by dragons and elves.

Simply relying on "past favors" or "old favors" to ask former subordinates to do favors for themselves and involve internal control of the company - this kind of request has exceeded the level that the "faction" can allow. People who have left the company are not allowed to use any direct or indirect means to influence or operate the company's internal affairs... Everyone will maintain this rule together, and they and the people they contact will pay a heavy price for this.

"You must also know...my daughter is a bit rebellious."

Dodgson looked at the emperor with a rare tone of disappointment.

The emperor apparently felt somewhat the same way.

He nodded and asked: "I remember, you are planning to arrange 'Xia' to the public relations department?"

"yes."

Dodgson complained, and glanced at Russell: "So does Xia, and so does this kid Russell... Obviously the public relations department is the biggest loser, with a stable job, high income, and quick promotion with less work, but I can arrange for the two children None of them are willing to take this road.”

"It's also because I don't have a choice."

Russell interrupted helplessly.

If he hadn't awakened his psychic powers...and been dragged into the whirlpool of trouble by Bad Day and his parents, Russell's own vision alone would have meant he was trying to fish.

A kitten trying to catch a fish must be very reasonable and blameless.

"She doesn't want to enter the company, but wants to be a star... That's okay. I know a lot of people who can help pave the way for her... That child has strong artistic talents and is cute. She can be promoted to a first-line star with some manipulation. There is no problem. There is no problem whether you are a singer, actor, or host.

"But she doesn't want me to find someone for her, and she threatens to sever the father-daughter relationship with me..."

Dodgson spread his hands helplessly: "But the problem isn't that, it's that basically everyone who can debut has someone behind them. It's not fair if you don't look for someone, but you're lagging behind a lot... Even if you have talent, it's difficult. Being famous may even lead to being suppressed by people less talented than yourself.

"But that child has some belated rebellion... She doesn't listen, and she doesn't want to agree with these principles. After losing the idol selection, she felt lost for a while, and then she turned to become an anchor... She just didn't want me to interfere, or even let me watch. Her live broadcast. But at least the economy is considered independent."

"Isn't that great?"

Russell comforted: "At least the child has found a job he likes, right?"

Things in the world are unpredictable, and giving birth to a baby is like drawing a card. There is nothing strange about giving birth to a daughter who is independent and unique...it can't be broken down and then smoked.

But after hearing Russell's words, Director Dodgson's fat face became even more bitter: "If that's all, I don't have anything to ask you for help."

He had a slumped face like a fat orange cat, and he looked more silly and cuter.

"Someone told me that she is planning a big life recently...

"Because she has a sense of justice in her heart...I'm not saying that having a sense of justice is a fault, but she is too reckless...

"She saw netizens blaming the angels because of the rising prices, criticizing the existence of the church for seriously affecting their lives. So Xia angrily scolded her fans and confronted her own fans - saying that they didn't know what was going on. How dangerous are those mercenaries and illegal psykers in the city."

"That's actually true."

Delphinium made her rational and gentle voice and said softly: "According to our propaganda ideas, we usually do not tell the public about such dangerous things. This may make it impossible to cover up some accidents when they occur, which may lead to Unnecessary panic.”

"Indeed... But Xia understands all this, but her fans don't understand it. So Xia decided to broadcast the 'Angel Annihilation Battle' in the lower city to let people see what terrible enemies the angels are fighting against."

"ah?"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Dodgson sighed again.

"In a sense, what she did was right. And as a company director, I am actually happy to see the church suffer... so I can't dissuade her."

The bad guy clarified his thoughts: "In other words, we are going to secretly protect the safety of the eldest lady, right? That's quite simple... There should be no need to send out four people. Just tell the angels."

"Because there are two people to protect."

Dodgson looked at the emperor with complicated eyes: "Your daughter 'Bing Shui' is the one who informed me.

"As an excellent reporter, she also has her own sense of mission - after hearing about Xia's plan, she decided to go to Xiacheng District with Xia.

"Not only in Xia's live broadcast room, but also on the official website of Tian'en Daily, the entire process is live broadcast simultaneously."

Hearing this, Russell gasped.

No wonder my uncle specially called the "Emperor"...

It can only be said that it is not unreasonable for Xia and Bingshui to become best friends. Both of them are the same tiger...

"What?! Ice water, she——"

Hearing this, Old Penguin suddenly became angry and his eyes widened: "I'll go back and lock her up right now!"

"No, no, no!"

Dodgson quickly stopped: "In that case, they will know that their plan has been leaked! Bingshui will no longer trust me... If she stops revealing Xia's little secret to me, I won't even know when she will leave for Lower City. have no idea!

"Now that we know their action plan, it's better to get the two ancestors back after filming. Although Xia doesn't have psychic powers, fighting skills, or shooting, she stole it from me. A lot of good stuff. It's not particularly dangerous... When you go this time, in addition to protecting the two girls, you also have to help look after them... Don't take pictures of anything you shouldn't."

After hearing this, Russell understood that the "ice water" lady was obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"...When will they leave?"

"Just tonight."

Director Dodgson replied: "You can disperse your operations. If you gather together, the target may be too big. I don't know how much equipment she plans to take with her this time, but if she is fully armed, the surveillance range will be quite large."

"Isn't Miss Xia quite safe?"

The inferior one crossed his arms and interjected.

The orange cat grimaced and shook his head.

"So, the main thing is to watch the ice water lady.

"Although she shouldn't be allowed to take pictures of many things...but occasionally letting her spontaneously take pictures of things that we are not allowed to take in principle is actually quite good."

Director Orange Cat said something that seemed to be contradictory: "The reason why I only ask you to go out is because... this is just a private matter."

Russell looked at his uncle thoughtfully and understood what he said.

He suddenly realized that this good old man didn't seem that innocent either.
