Chapter 2942
Mr. Patou didn't know that his family's lives were saved because of his excellent work.
He was talking about this with his wife.
"Tomorrow morning, you will take the children to Anna and live with her. She will arrange a place for you to live. You will also need to ask her for advice on things in your life in the future."
His wife looked at him and held his hand tightly.
Although Mr. Patou was full of machismo and rarely gentle to her in the years since they got married.
But she could feel the suppressed love, as if at this time, she was the first person to know that she had been properly arranged.
He did not ask her to be with him for some reason, but entrusted herself to Anna.
She always felt that Mr. Patou just didn't know how to express his inner feelings.
After all, he was the head of the Ajiner family. If he showed too...warm, the enemies in the family and the enemies outside the family would smell the smell and run over to give him a knife.
He had to show a tough, unkind coldness, only in this way would those enemies restrain themselves and not let Mr. Patou find them.
But she knew that he was a good man.
This can be seen from the fact that he has only had one wife in his life, and he has never had a stable mistress. This is actually very difficult to do in the upper class - those women who play around don't count.
"I don't want to go anywhere." She is old and doesn't look as pretty as she was when she was young, but the power she exudes makes people feel strong.
Mr. Patou's expression changed a little bit, his lips trembled, but he still held on, "It's meaningless for you to stay."
"You can't bring more glory and glory to his victory, you are worthless."
The woman sat closer and leaned on him, "I know, but I don't want to leave. If you have to face something, then we face it together."
Mr. Patou held her hand back, his expression was still so serious, he was used to this expression, like an instinct engraved in his genes.
His voice slowed down a little, "Don't make insignificant sacrifices, Anna will respect you, you have to think about it, if you are gone, will she deal with her brothers and sisters."
Although there won't be too many people who have gone there, and they are not elites on the surface, but most of them are tribesmen.
Anna's "leaving home with nothing" caused quite a stir in the family. Even though each of them received an elite education, as a federal citizen, they grew up in a country that pursued independent individuals and both spiritual and physical freedom.
It was impossible for them not to be poisoned by those mainstream ideas. Well, it might not be accurate to say so. It should be said that they were influenced by mainstream ideas.
But soon they obeyed the authority of the family because they couldn't stand the life of losing wealth, losing influence, not being cared for by the family, or even being targeted.
They couldn't find Richie or Hitch who could provide them with a decent job, so they could only continue to obey the family's instructions.
Do what they don't want to do, marry someone, or marry someone they don't like at all.
This is the price. They enjoy the glory, wealth, status, reputation, and everything that the family brings them, but they have to pay a price!
When a group of humble people who are free in spirit but imprisoned in body, who have tried but lost to themselves, face the only brave person.
They will not praise this person, nor will they think that this person is the direction of their efforts in this life.
They will only think that this person is an alien!
They always talk about Anna in public, destroying family unity, hurting family interests, and backstabbing family trust. This is a kind of "political correctness". There is a big difference between saying it and not saying it.
In addition, Mr. Patou has always had a stern face in recent years, making it impossible to guess what he is thinking, as well as his strict management measures.
Anyone must show that they are drawing a line with Anna and severely criticizing her. Only in this way can they prove that they are not in the same group and that these people and the family are of one mind.
Otherwise, if a traitor appears, you will not only not hate her, but think she is an idol, which shows that you are all traitors in essence!
Whether Anna knows these actual situations or not, from a personal perspective, she will definitely not give these people a good face.
Mr. Patou has a good reason to let Anna's mother restrain her.
But the woman didn't care about it at all, "When we are both dead, whoever wants to take care of this matter can do it, I just want to be with you."
"You always say I am stupid, I am indeed stupid, I don't even know how to live without you."
"I have listened to your arrangements all my life, this time let me make the decision, okay?"
Mr. Patou stared at her for a long time, then sighed heavily, "This is not a picnic."
The woman didn't care at all, "Even if it's to hell!"
Just when both of them were determined to die together, the ringing of the phone suddenly destroyed the touching atmosphere here. Mr. Patou broke free from his wife's hand and walked to the phone and stood for two seconds.
He had some emotional fluctuations, he needed to calm himself down completely, only in this way could he be "the impeccable Mr. Patou".
"This is..., I am Patou."
"I, Anna, have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Mr. Patou hesitated for a moment, and like everyone else, chose to listen to the bad news first.
"The bad news is that you will lose your position in the family. You are no longer the head of the Ajiner family."
Mr. Patu was relieved to hear this. This was not bad news. "We agreed before that you would be the new head of the family."
"What about the good news?"
There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the receiver, and then a very light voice came out, "You don't have to die."
Mr. Patu could not believe what he heard, "If you want to change the plan, I advise you not to do so. Remember your first lesson?"
"The honor of the family is above everything, even our own lives."
Anna was annoyed when she heard this, "I will personally modify these things after I become the head of the family!"
"In addition, you don't have to worry about your ideas not being realized. Mr. Lin Qi believes that your previous work is too good, so even if you are targeted now, it will not cause greater military deterrence to the Shelter Alliance."
"So you don't have to die. They chose other, larger shelters."
Mr. Patu suddenly became a little impatient, "Then has your becoming a shareholder been affected?"
Anna didn't know what to say after hearing this. Perhaps this is the father she knew who was full of family honor and family interests.
He had never said "I love you" to any family member, he would only tell them "you have to do this to benefit the family".
Even at this moment, the first thing he thought of was not whether he could survive, but whether she could become a shareholder as planned.
She didn't know what to say to this old man!
After letting her be silent for a while, she said, "I am already a shareholder of the company, holding 0.5% of the shares, sitting on the stage at the shareholders' meeting, and sitting in the fourth seat on the right at the board of directors."
After listening to this, Mr. Patu really smiled, "Very good, very good, unimaginably good!"
"I am proud of you, Anna."
Anna even felt a little nauseous when she heard this, and she didn't feel the kind of expectation or joy she had.
"If you can arrange for me to become the head of the family as soon as possible, it will be the best reward for me. Of course, you still have a job to do before that."
"After they destroy the alliance's shelter, you will stand up and express your willingness to accept the management of Global Communication."
"Then take the initiative to send people to join the rescue team of civilians to rescue those trapped ordinary people."
Mr. Patu firmly remembered all these things in his heart, "Not a problem at all, I will prepare immediately, is there anything else?"
"By the way, your mother is here, do you want to talk to her?"
Anna hesitated for a moment. The performance last time was very intense, so she actually didn't have the opportunity to say anything to her mother.
She also wanted to explain, so she agreed.
Mr. Patu handed the receiver to his wife, kissed her cheek, and left in a hurry.
After answering the phone, the old woman smiled and said, "He is very grateful to you, Anna."
Anna almost laughed out loud, "It's better that he thinks so too..."
The mother and daughter talked about some very ordinary things, and the old woman also asked Anna if she planned to get married or have children.
As a person who has experienced it, she warned Anna that she must have a clear heir to avoid being targeted by other branches of the family.
When the family is big, there will be many problems.
If Anna does not have a clear heir, they will have ideas, they will use their brains, and even do things to hurt her.
But this problem is not easy to solve.
For the time being, she does not look down on other ordinary men, and has no plans to have children for them. Maybe she will go for a test tube baby.
Now this technology is very mature.
The results of the referendum in Mr. Patu's shelter have actually come out. Even if he did not publicize it much, but only played the propaganda content of the alliance, more than 70% of people expressed their willingness to be independent.
In theory, he can announce the results to the public, but now he does not want to announce it, because this time he does not want to grab the first place!
The next morning, as the first private shelter announced the results of the referendum, it passed the independence referendum with a great advantage and announced that it would officially break away from the management of the federal government.
A large number of private shelters quickly followed and passed the independence referendum with a high number of votes.
For a time, even the people in the official shelters were a little turbulent.
Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, Connor, vice president of Global Communication Group, suddenly pointed out that the referendum process and results were illegal...
