Chapter 1013 Andrew Gattuso
Chapter 1013 Andrew Gattuso
"The documents are almost ready. Don't you have more important work to do, Mr. Andrew? I thought you should be in the principal's office discussing the details of the hearing the day after tomorrow with the vice principal." Percy packed some of the materials into a brown paper bag and tied it with a string, then stood up and respectfully confronted Andrew beside him.
The appropriation and authorization for spending money to block the port and buy out the land after the Chicago Port incident were signed by Andrew Gattuso. He handled it beautifully, including the impact of the rapid descent of the armed helicopter on the Anthem, which was also smoothed out by him. He is considered the most outstanding young man of the young generation of the Gattuso family in recent years.
He only has one sentence to evaluate Kassel College: these troublemakers will never know that they are burning a lot of money from the board of directors. It was just this one sentence of loyalty, coupled with his outstanding personal ability in recent times, that made Frost Gattuso decide to send this young man with an excellent resume to handle this hearing.
The board of directors was very confident in Andrew Gattuso and granted him the highest authority while he was in Cassel College. Just like the ancient Chinese emperor issued the imperial sword and three guillotines to let him try a case, the charter of the Cassel College Board of Directors has always been a violent charter, and he has the right to interpret and enforce this charter.
This means that as long as he wants, he can become the "Dolores Umbridge" of Cassel College, forcibly issuing a ban within a day to curb bad tempers and silence all noise and resistance.
In fact, even the accompanying secretary Percy felt that his superior would give the principal and vice-principal a show of strength on the first day of arriving at the college, and slap the bark-like wrinkles on the face of the 130-year-old old man with the imperial sword in his hand.
But Andrew Gattuso did not do so. His behavior was particularly abnormal and reasonable in Percy's eyes.
The anomaly is that before Andrew was appointed as the head of the investigation team, he had always been young, talented and energetic. His motto was "young and promising" and "a man of integrity and bravery". Such a proud and arrogant young man came to the famous Kassel Academy. He would either make a big fuss and gain fame and return to the Gattuso family to rise to prominence, or he would be beaten by the old gangsters as soon as he entered the door. Or he would be beaten by the old gangsters with sticks and maces and thrown out of the iron gate by the collar.
Percy thought that there were only these two possibilities under normal circumstances, but strangely, after Andrew Gattuso squeezed through the Chicago train station and boarded the CC1000 express, he suddenly became quiet and peaceful - his original appearance and work style were indeed peaceful, but this time what really changed was his heart.
Percy always judges people very accurately. Frost Gattuso once described this man's intuition as sharp and accurate like the "Assassin Storm" in his hand. He can be sure that the moment Andrew Gattuso set foot on the foot of Kassel College, the man's original predictable arrogance and means disappeared, and now replaced by a strange, extremely calm and intellectual
What? Percy always stops thinking about this and subconsciously gives up continuing to follow his intuition.
After arriving at Kassel College, this young man named Andrew Gattuso threw away all the prepared repressive means, burned all the backup confrontation words, and entered the college in the most low-key form as a student. He immediately went to the office of the Minister of the Executive Department. Before the other party could hardly use any prepared countermeasures, he showed the investigation team with the investigation order signed by the board of directors to control the most powerful violent agency in Kassel College.
This is a very reasonable and genius move, just like pinching a snake by the seven inches. Even Frost Gattuso would recognize the courage and boldness of this young hero. But it is also abnormal, at least Percy thinks it is abnormal. After meeting Andrew Gattuso for less than half a day, he probably had a template of all the man's behaviors in his mind, but when it was finally implemented, the other party instantly seemed to have changed into a different person and made him feel strange.
Strange? It's really a word that doesn't make sense. Percy has known Andrew for less than a week and has never been familiar with him, so how can he be strange?
But intuition is intuition, and Percy's intuition is very accurate, but this time he couldn't find the contradiction according to his intuition, which made all his actions in Kassel College seem conservative-at least much more conservative than before.
"Haven't you heard that the school is very noisy now. It's rumored that Caesar is publicly engaged to his girlfriend. Now they are going to have an all-night party in the Amber Hall. As a young man, shouldn't you join in the fun?" Andrew looked at Percy and said gently.
Percy met Andrew's eyes, then shook his head and said softly, "My work is not done yet. At 8:30, the student named Xia Mi will come to visit Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei who are being detained and interrogated by the investigation team. I need to act as a guide to monitor and ensure that no accidents occur during the process that will affect the hearing process in the near future."
"It's okay. I have seen the file of this student named Xia Mi. She is a very cute girl. She should not break the promise casually. If you are worried, I will lead her. You should take a rest. You haven't had a real break since you came to the academy, right?" Andrew gently tried to pat Patsy's shoulder with his left hand, but Patsy happened to bend down to pick up the papers falling on the ground.
"I'm not going to attend the young master's engagement party." Patsy said after picking up the documents, "But if Mr. Andrew needs me to handle the remaining official duties in a better spirit, I will go and rest."
"Let me guess, the reason for not participating is because the family has not officially recognized this 'marriage'. The engagement party is probably just a carnival for Caesar himself and his followers?" Andrew slowly withdrew his hand. said with a smile.
"Maybe this is something Mr. Frost should worry about, not us." Patsy said softly. Although he is Andrew's secretary, he often knows more than everyone else in the Gattuso family. The more he talks about it, the clearer he becomes about what should be discussed and who should and should not be discussed.
"I overstepped my bounds." Andrew paused for a moment, looked directly into Patsy's strange-colored pupils, and finally nodded and said, "But do you think that Caesar's public engagement at this time is a message to us?"
"Give us a message?"
"Now the public opinion of the outside world has always been in the hands of the night watchman. The vice president's control of public opinion is beyond my imagination. Originally, we wanted to irrigate the correctness of the hearing, but the momentum of vigorously targeting Lin Nian was The other party has suppressed us forcefully. Recently, there have even been accusations of trying to overthrow us. They have begun to collect dirt on the school board of directors, and students have jointly protested against the hearing. When this situation is very unfavorable to us, Caesar chose. The announcement of the engagement has attracted the attention of public opinion. Isn't this a powerful and effective crisis public relations for us? It is also like a long-lost expression of goodwill to the family." Andrew rubbed his chin and thought.
"Could it be that Caesar wants his marriage to be blessed by his family, so he uses this opportunity to create a focus to relieve us of the pressure of public opinion until the hearing begins? As long as public opinion can maintain the trend of entertaining people to death until the hearing, until the hearing begins, When Ange and Lin Nian were on the dock, it was almost impossible to save them."
Patsy listened quietly to Andrew's inferences and conjectures. When the other party signaled him to express his position, he directly shook his head and denied all the above, "With all due respect, I'm afraid Caesar has never thought so much."
"Oh? What should I say? Indeed, you should know this family heir better than me. What do you think of him announcing the engagement ceremony at this point?"
"He wanted to do it so he did it."
"You thought today was a good day, so you announced your engagement? Or did you announce it secretly using your own account?" Andrew said jokingly.
"What does the almanac mean?" Patsy, as an all-around secretary who was praised by everyone, was in a rare cultural desert.
"The Chinese calculation method of the sun and moon can also be called the Imperial Calendar or the Tongsheng Calendar. It coexists with the Gregorian calendar, the lunar calendar and the Ganzhi calendar. Because it also contains a lot of knowledge related to seeking good luck and avoiding evil, the Chinese often look at the almanac to make decisions. What date is suitable for doing something? For example, Caesar may have looked at the almanac and found that today is suitable for marriage, so he announced his engagement." Andrew, an Italian, talked about Chinese traditional culture for Passi, who is also Italian.
"You are so knowledgeable." Patsy nodded and praised his superior, but it was not really a compliment. In fact, he admired Andrew's Chinese studies from the bottom of his heart. "But I think it is most likely not like this. But your statement is indeed in line with Caesar's character. That's what I want to express. Caesar has never been a person who wants to please his family. If he feels that he must marry a girl, then the only one who is qualified to marry him is The only blessings he recognized were his close friends and his late mother. Taking his beloved girl to the Milan Cathedral to exchange engagement rings under the watchful eyes of his heavenly mother may be more important to him than the so-called family honor, and what else. Even bigger.”
"What a proud boy." Andrew chuckled. "He is so proud that it makes people feel cute."
"Maybe the young master doesn't like others calling him cute. Even if his actions this time are not intended to show favor to the family, we should try our best not to provoke him and let him choose to stand against us. After all, This is also half of Caesar’s home court,” Passi suggested.
"I understand, you go and have a rest. I will handle the rest of the documents. Hilbert Jean Angers is indeed a difficult person to deal with. If you want to succeed in this hearing, you must start with Lin Nian."
"But we have never been able to find him." Patsy said, but then he paused and said, "There is something I think I should report to you. I may have spotted him in the Garden of Eden during the day today. "But this cannot be used as conclusive evidence. He is indeed just as Mr. Frost described, a particularly difficult honey badger."
"Honey badger? Is this how Mr. Frost described him?" Andrew laughed dumbly. "It's quite appropriate. Just like the description in the document, he is brave, persevering, tenacious, and very bold, but he is always so... One point and two, think straight, if anyone messes with the honey badger, then be lucky, because he will still haunt you even if he goes to the moon. "
"You don't seem to care about his traces?" Patsy asked tentatively, considering Andrew's reaction.
"As long as he is still in school before the hearing, that is the greatest peace of mind for me. Other than that, what he does and where he goes is irrelevant." Andrew said with a smile.
"How about the conversation between Mr. Andrew and the Vice-Principal this afternoon? Did the Vice-Principal become more relaxed about the matter of turning from dark to light at the hearing the day after tomorrow?" Patsy brushed off the topic.
"Unfortunately, no. The vice-principal particularly likes drinking, and drinkers always like to stray from the topic. I am not targeting people who drink. It's just that the vice-principal seems to me to be a bit drunk. I'm afraid I have to impeach him from the principal's position. He was crossed out from the final list of candidates, but I still like the old photo of him in Bolivia in 1934 in the investigation team file. He was really a cowboy with slender curly hair, a Greek nose, and The charming and innocent eyes capture people's hearts," Andrew said with emotion, "Time is really a butcher's knife, chasing every one of us fairly. The Dragon King can't escape his blade, and neither can the cowboy chasing the Dragon King. Now. He’s almost drunk!”
Patsy didn't know what to say, but it was always right to agree with his superiors, so he could only nodded to show that he agreed with Andrew's point of view. At least from his point of view, the vice-principal has indeed been ravaged by time. Compared with Angers, who can still carry a folding knife and charge into battle in his old age, he can only carry wine bottles now, and the bottles of famous wines. .
But even so, this old cowboy with a beer belly cannot be underestimated, and no one will forget that the other party is still known as "Flamel" to this day. So Andrew has been talking to the other party politely and courteously until now. The other party is playing tricks and drinking. Andrew can only accept the order. He doesn't know how the young leader of the investigation team got the wine from the old gangster. He walked away from the table and even now has a clear mind to help Patsy share the work.
"In short, all the unhappiness in this college will disappear within these three days. There is no need to worry and feel about so many things that will eventually pass away. Go and rest, Patsy, you will be required to attend the next hearing as the prosecutor." Andrew The second time he raised his hand to pat Patsy on the shoulder, but Patsy suddenly glanced at his wrist, took a step back, bowed slightly and said softly, "It seems that it's almost time to reach the time agreed with that classmate Xia Mi. Yes, I’m going to greet her in the Garden of Eden in advance and will call you as soon as the handover is completed. You only need to wait for Xia Mi’s arrival on the ground floor of Euphrates.”
Andrew, who didn't take a picture of Patsy, took back his hand and nodded with satisfaction, praising, "You are such a good secretary. Mr. Frost has always had such a good eye."
"That's ridiculous." Passi responded to the compliment, turned around and left after a slight greeting. He was clean and neat, without any sloppiness, like a precise and never-error mechanical watch. No wonder he has always been Frost Gattuso. Favorite tool.
Andrew stood in the office and watched Patsy disappear deep into the corridor. After a long time, he still kept a faint smile on his face and turned to look at the remaining unorganized files on the table and Patsy. There was still Yu Wen sitting on the swivel chair. He lowered his head and said quietly, "She is really an excellent secretary."
