Chapter 429 HR Skyler 【26.2K】

"Rob Lucci?"

After seeing the person coming out of the dark alley, Skyler felt a little surprised. If seeing Lu Qi in the afternoon was a coincidence, then now it is an accident beyond the accident.

She didn't notice Lu Qi at all, and she didn't even bother to recall the scene in the afternoon. After all, it's hard for a person who hasn't eaten enough to think about other things.

Rob Lucci, looking at Skyler's expression at this time, gradually seemed to notice something was wrong. He had a thought, whether Skyler hadn't noticed him just now.

However, if he didn't find out what he said, why did Skyler touch the knife? It can't be that this vice admiral has the habit of touching knives at every turn, right? CP's file on Skyler doesn't say this.

As a result, both parties suddenly became a little embarrassed. Rob Lucci thought that Skyler was looking for him for something. After all, in his opinion just now, Skyler found him twice, and even used the knife the second time.

If nothing really happened, Skyler could be a stranger without a knife.

This was Rob Lucci's thought just now, so he chose to show up after his deeds were "discovered", just to see what Schuyler was looking for him, but now it seems that Schuyler didn't look for him at all.

As for Skyler, it was true that what she wanted was to have a late-night snack, or a full dinner, and she never thought about meeting Rob Lucci, let alone talking about something.

She was thinking, could it be that she asked Rob Lucci to join the navy twice, which caused him some misunderstanding?

Judging from Rob Lucci's future experience, he is not loyal to CP9, he is not loyal to CP9, even after being "backstabbed" by Spandam, after some undisclosed operations, the Jedi turned around and became Spand Dum's chief.

This kind of thing obviously cannot be explained by relying on a word of improvisation, so Rob Lucci must have done a lot of preparations and left himself ample retreat.

So maybe he really won't completely reject Skyler and the Navy's offers.

The two sides looked at each other awkwardly and silently for a while, Skyler pointed to the snack street not far away, and said, "Talk while eating?"

Rob Lucci was already thinking of finding an excuse to leave. After all, if there is nothing to talk about, there is no need for him to stay here, even if he has been away from the team for too long

He didn't trust the few teammates that Spandam arranged for him at all, at least he didn't trust any of them now.

People always say that betrayal is a compulsory course for pirates, but in the CP institutions under the world government, betrayal is also a compulsory course, and many people learn it very well.

Just like Spandam, the reason why he lost his position as the chief of CP5, apart from his personal misconduct, his subordinates also contributed a lot.

Leapfrog reporting, or encouraging Spandam to continue to make mistakes, and then backstab, these are all acts of betrayal, so Spandam lost the position of CP5 chief.

If it weren't for Spandain, he might have lost his job at the World Government outright.

And Rob Lucci is known as CP's once-in-eight-hundred-year physique genius, but what others don't know is that he is still good at other things, such as betrayal, disguise, and concealment, he can achieve full marks. Encountered full marks.

In addition to following the unreliable father and son Spandine and Spandam, Rob Lucci knew that he would definitely not have any good development under the hands of these two people, at most they were their tools.

Therefore, from the age of 13, or in other words, the first time Skyler represented the Navy and offered him an olive branch, he has been thinking about whether he has a way out.

For ten years, he has been serving as Spandain's knife, but what Spandain doesn't know is that his knife has a mind of its own, but it's too well disguised.

At this time, seeing that things seemed to have turned around again, Rob Lucci nodded and said, "Okay."

"Then you treat me?"

"I am penniless in order to carry out the mission."

From the files, Rob Lucci, who has already learned about Skyler's astonishing appetite, doesn't want to be wronged, not to mention that he is really penniless now.

In addition, when it is obviously time for your navy to show its sincerity, how can you let yourself spend money?

Seeing that Lu Qi didn't intend to invite guests at all, Skyler pouted and touched his waist again. Because of his interference just now, Skyler wasn't sure if he had a wallet with him.

Seeing Skyler reaching out to touch his saber again, Lu Qi became vigilant instinctively, ready to dodge at any time, but under his full attention, Skyler's hand went over the handle and blade box.

'Is it the wallet? '

Rob Lucci, who reacted, was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he would actually fall on this step.

However, he didn't feel that his vigilance was superfluous. After all, the world's number one swordsman in front of him was too great a threat with her sword.

Even if it was the next time Skyler touched his saber, Rob Lucci felt that he would have to be vigilant, after all, in his position, as long as he relaxed a little bit, he might die without a whole body.

Skyler took out his wallet and took a look, making sure he had brought enough money, and walked towards the snack street.

They said they were talking while eating, but Skyler didn't say a word to Lu Qi all the way out. This Lu Qi was a little impatient. After all, he didn't want those "teammates" to notice that something was wrong.

Sweeping the whole street aside, Skyler finally felt that he was no longer hungry, so he looked at the ice drink shop on the side and said, "Sit down and talk."

Lu Qi just nodded, and the two walked to the ice drink shop. Skyler ordered a cup of fruit tea, but Lu Qi remained silent. Skyler thought for a while and said:

"Is there really no money?"

Lu Qi nodded calmly. He didn't feel the slightest embarrassment about being penniless. Skyler sighed and said to the clerk, "Give him a drink too. How much is the total?"

"Seven hundred Baileys."

Skyler looked at it, and it was really difficult for her to take out 700 Baileys. After all, she only pretended to go out with 10,000 Baileys, and she didn't have 1,000 Baileys in stock.

After all, the denomination of 1,000 Baileys was earned by Luffy with his brain.

I rummaged around, but luckily found some change when I was eating snacks, just enough to make up enough money for two cups of fruit tea, the lady clerk took the money and left, Skyler looked at Lu Qi, and said:

"Why, follow me today, do you really want to abandon the dark and turn to the bright?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi frowned slightly, feeling a little bad, and Skyler took advantage of the halo of the benefactor to take the lead, and suddenly fell into a passive state.

What Lu Qi originally expected was not like this.

If it is expressed in the workplace, then Lu Qi thought that he himself should be a very capable and potential employee, but the company he works for is not very good.

And Skyler is the department manager of a hostile but well-developed company. The two have had business contacts. As the department manager, Skyler should have valued his ability.

If you want to dig him in and become Skyler's subordinate or at the same time, that is to say, he, Rob Lucci, should have the initiative and the right to speak.

The navy should be eager for him and hope that he will pass. Only in this way can Rob Lucci offer more conditions. After all, he has the bargaining chips that the navy needs.

But Skyler's wave of head start turned the situation around.

It turned into him, Rob Lucci, who was a job seeker, and her, Skyler, who became the company's HR. If she couldn't make it through, whether she could enter the navy would depend on Skyler's face.

And Skyler did all this, but only used side value inquiries to let himself deny, lower his awareness of self-worth, and a cup of cheap fruit tea, so that he fell into a passive position.

Rob Lucci squinted his eyes, feeling that he had fallen into a trap set by Skyler.

While he knew someone like himself couldn't measure value through Bailey, he believed it was impossible for Skyler not to know, and she continued to use Bailey to deny her own worth.

To put it bluntly, Skyler just wanted this opportunity. She had already seized the initiative, and it would be very difficult for Rob Lucci to regain the initiative.

Skyler also frowned when he saw Rob Lucci winking and was unwilling to answer. Didn't he say he wanted to talk? Why don't you answer your own question?

What Skyler thought was completely different from what Rob Lucci thought, because in her opinion, there was no need for the Navy to ask Rob Lucci to join. Ten years ago and a few days ago, it was just a joke.

However, compared with ten years ago, Skyler is indeed able to provide Rob Lucci with a suitable "job", so if Rob Lucci really wants to join, she will not refuse.

But Lu Qi's current attitude is particularly disturbing. Do you want to join? Still don't want to join? Or is it that CP is the home of your loved ones, and you need to pay more?

If you don't say these things, how can you talk about them?

However, even if Skyler didn't realize Lu Qi's current thoughts, he knew that he couldn't speak anymore.

Once I open my mouth now, unless I maliciously make this transaction more stringent, it will only be counterproductive, or in other words, no matter which way it is, it is not conducive to cooperation.

If he is too tough, then it is possible to directly touch the bottom line of Rob Lucci's value and make him turn around and leave.

If you slow down your attitude, then it is undoubtedly a compromise.

It's like bargaining, but after you say "whether you sell it for XX yuan or not, I'll leave", you must go out without hesitation and force the store to compromise.

You can't turn back after taking two steps. In that case, you are actually giving the store a chance, because it lets the store know that you really have the desire to buy.

In the silence, the clerk silently served two cups of fruit tea.

Because I just ate the snacks along the way, Skyler is inevitably a little thirsty. After all, most of the snacks at the street stalls are not too light. After all, it is difficult for consumers to remember in this fast-paced catering. Live the taste.

Therefore, street stalls will increase the amount of seasoning appropriately, which is indeed easy for consumers to remember the taste, but the side effect is that they are prone to thirst.

Skyler picked up the fruit tea, took a sip first, then picked a piece of fruit and ate it without haste.

Lu Qi finally withdrew his eyes. In his opinion, Skyler was sending a signal that she had enough time to wait for him to compromise.

After all, there is indeed no reason for the navy to urgently need itself. After all, the navy does not need to get out of trouble, but itself.

Finally, when Skyler took his second sip of tea and started to eat the second piece of fruit, Lu Qi couldn't sit still, knowing that he couldn't continue to procrastinate, so he asked:

"What does your navy want?"

Skyler swallowed the pulp and asked, "What can you offer the Navy?"

"What do you mean? Don't your navy want me to join?"

Lu Qi frowned, looked at Skyler, and continued to ask: "Or do you want me to stay in CP?"

Skyler couldn't keep up with Lu Qi's thoughts, and didn't understand what he was talking about. She also frowned and said, "If you want to join the navy, the navy can definitely accept it."

In Skyler's opinion, the words that had been expressed clearly did not ease Lu Qi's emotions in the slightest.

After all, "I want to join" and "I want to join" are two completely different situations. This is the issue of initiative and passivity, and it is also what makes Lu Qi feel very uncomfortable tonight.

He wants to take the initiative, but every time he tries, Skyler pushes back, holding on to the initiative and defining himself one after another as a "Want to join the Navy" role.

And what Skyler said just now is obviously not that simple, "If you want to join the navy, the navy can accept it". Isn't it obvious that you should betray the CP first and hand over a worthy certificate?

‘A naval hero who became a naval hero with the help and force of others? What a bunch of nonsense! '

Thinking of CP's internal files on Skyler, Lu Qi felt that CP was really going to suck, and he actually judged the woman in front of him as the mainstay of the navy who relied on the support and force of others.

Is it true that the whole world is as brainless as the group of pigs in CP who only get paid? No wonder it has been overwhelmed by the navy for so many years.

After belittling the CP group in his heart, Lu Qi had to think about what he should do. After all, he was the one sitting at the negotiating table, and he was the one who wanted to cooperate with the navy.

The nomination certificate that the navy wants, I can't get it at all now.

The Navy should know this. After all, CP9 is now said to be a change of term, but it just fell from Spandine's hands to Spandam's hands. He has no chance at all.

After all, in the past ten years, he has been silently seeking a way out, and he has never really tried to break the situation. Therefore, let alone his status in the eyes of the top CP and the world government.

Even within CP9, many people think that Rob Lucci is a tool man without self-consciousness, a knife in the hands of Chief Spandine.

Sometimes. When your business ability has no flaws and you perform very well, it is also a fault.

Just as Rob Lucci was thinking, in the night sky, a fat pigeon flew towards him.

At this moment, Rob Lucci's brows frowned even deeper. He knew that his own Hadori had begun to warn him. He stood up and said:

"I think I understand. I will continue to stay in CP9. When you have other ideas, please tell me."

Skyler nodded and said, "Well, if you change your mind, the Navy will accept your surrender at any time."

Seeing that Skyler was unwilling to let go of the initiative he had held until the last moment, this made Rob Lucci feel extremely tricky. After thinking about it, he still said:

"Can you leave a contact information?"

Skyler raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you have my contact information?"

"Official, of course, but they will be monitored."

Hearing this, Skyler nodded and told Rob Lucci his personal phone number. After Luqi remembered it, he turned around and was about to leave, but Skyler said:

"Take the fruit tea away, a cup of three hundred and fifty Baileys."

Skyler felt sorry for the cup of fruit tea that he hadn't drunk yet, but Rob Lucci's face became gloomy. This was the third time. The third time he used this gloomy way to deny his own value. .

Damn it! ! !

Gritting his teeth, Rob Lucci picked up the fruit tea and left in an instant. Why did he take the fruit tea instead of just throwing a face and leaving?

Because he had to have something to explain to his "teammates", even if it was just a cup of fruit tea.

And why did he leave for so long because of a cup of fruit tea? It's very simple, he has no money, and if he wants to buy fruit tea, he must have money first.

Seeing that Rob Lucci didn't waste food, Skyler was very satisfied, and continued to drink fruit tea slowly. This time, the task was very easy, and there were no strict restrictions, no different from a vacation.

It can be regarded as giving yourself a little excessive time for vacation syndrome.

After a while, Skyler, who was barely full after drinking the fruit tea, finally returned to his warship.

The members of the Zhanye Detachment on the warship did not have any doubts about Skyler's late return.

After all, they all knew that what they were following was an off-line officer.

And judging from the fact that Nurkic, the adjutant, immediately started arranging Leon and Drake to be on standby after his return, Skyler must be very dissatisfied with her dinner today.

Coming back so late, nine times out of ten, they went for food. This is their chief.

In Zhanye Detachment, no one would believe that their chief came back tonight to instigate rebellion, thinking that CP is known as a once-in-eight-hundred-year genius, except that Nurkic is still a little doubtful about Skyler's behavior today. Others People don't realize it.

But Nurkic didn't ask either. After all, what Skyler didn't tell him may not be what he should know. He should do his job honestly and solve Skyler's problems. This is what an adjutant should do. of.

The difference between an excellent adjutant and an unqualified adjutant is that an excellent adjutant knows what he can make decisions on, what he can intervene in, and what he needs to despise.

Rather than blindly asking for instructions from the chief, nor blindly making his own decisions, Nurkic felt that he still needed to continue studying to become a more famous adjutant than Bogart in the adjutant circle!

Nurkic may be the person in the Zhanye Detachment who at least imagined that he would leave the Zhanye Detachment to lead the first army. After all, since his ancestors joined the Navy, he has been a deputy.

Even if he wasn't a deputy, like his father, Lawrence, although he also left the original detachment later, there was no real acting detachment to go to the sea to make a name for himself.

Instead, it is to work behind the scenes, go out and make plans for other detachments and the navy to win more victories, and internally or deal with the world government, it is to resist the pressure, sort out step by step, so that the navy has more space.

The navy of the Reed family has never lived for themselves, including Nurkic, who has received education from his parents since he was a child, just to learn and learn more knowledge that can help others.

Speaking of force, Nurkic, who has swallowed the fruit of the end, may be the strongest person in the history of the Reed family. Therefore, there is a consensus in their family that they have no absolute talent in force, so they will pursue it. others.

Nurkic seems to be very strong now, but before he swallowed the fruit, his talent was worse than that of Law Wales. After all, Law Wales also became a lieutenant general and did not swallow the fruit.

But Nurkic didn't have that kind of talent at the beginning, so after knowing that he was doomed to live in peace by following the officer Skyler, he made an absolute that was different from his father and his ancestors.

Swallow the fruit.

However, the power brought by the fruit did not seem to change Nurkic's thinking, or in other words, creatures in myths like Lu Duan exist for others.

Nurkic is not without ambition, but his ambition is pinned on the officer Skyler, and his ambition is to assist Skyler to achieve peace in the sea.

Because of this, Nurkic, who has no selfishness, can reach the point where he is the only one with Bogart in the advanced circle of adjutants.

And he is younger than Bogart and has more room to improve, and many people have seen it over the years, that is, Karp has gradually withdrawn from the front line.

This means that Bogart, the adjutant, will also stagnate, but Nurkic will not. His chief is very young and can still fight for many years.

Maybe one day, his reputation will surpass Bogart and become the recognized first lieutenant, and then...

Nurkic looked at Skyler, who was resting on a deck chair, and perhaps he could also assist his chief to fulfill the wishes of his ancestors and countless naval martyrs that had never been fulfilled.

Let the flag of justice of the navy dance with the wind in any corner of the sea.

However, that is about the imagination of the future, the current problem is.

Nurkic looked back at the report in his hand and frowned. The intelligence network of the New World seemed to have encountered some problems. Rossindi applied to take Luo to Dressrosa to deal with these matters.

This is the news he just received after he returned to the warship. He didn't know how to describe this matter to Skyler. After all, without the Four Emperors being dispatched, the storm that would affect the New World Intelligence Network could be swept up. Maybe only.

Nurkic looked at the report in his hand, then at Skyler, and then at Akainu on the other side. If Akainu caught the slightest movement during his report, it might not be so easy It's over.

As an adjutant, Nurkic made a judgment, even if this matter is of great importance, he cannot report it at this time!
