Chapter 1458 Invitation From Twilight Forest
Hearing Jeffrey's words, Cyril shivered and woke up all of a sudden.
If the title of director is abolished, it means that he was completely abandoned by Jeffrey, and he was excluded from the list of successors.
This is absolutely unacceptable to him.
And the eyes fell on those people who usually flattered him in the audience, but at this moment their disappointment and disgust could not be concealed on their faces, and their mood sank to the bottom.
Cyril smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Sorry, I was impulsive, it seems that everyone agrees with Gloria, as his uncle, I am happy about this, and I hope she can take a good role. Chamber of Commerce director, make more contributions to the chamber of commerce.”
Cyril's beautiful words did not receive any positive response, instead there was a murmur in the banquet hall.
Gloria looked at Cyril with a smile and said, "Thank you, Uncle Cyril, for letting everyone clear up the misunderstandings about me, and I hope you can do your part for the children together with me."
"I... I will donate one million copper coins to that foundation today for the construction of the school building." Cyril said with a face as if he had eaten shit, but he still nodded.
Gloria continued to smile and said: "Then I would like to thank you for those children. I can ask Mars to help you handle the donation in a while. He is the person in charge of connecting Dailan with the foundation. He is familiar with this aspect. You just need to You need to give him the invoice, and he can handle it for you."
"Okay." Cyril nodded with a dark face, then turned around and walked off the stage quickly.
Today is simply a great humiliation for him. He lost his wife and lost his army. The issue he has to consider now is not how to get Gloria out of the game, but how to restore his position in Jeffrey's heart.
Gloria was not in a hurry to step down, nor was she overly excited because she had won the vote, she said sincerely: "Thank you all the directors for your votes, I accept this result with surprise and fear, but taking advantage of For the opportunity of 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 will be on vacation soon, which means that a new semester will come soon. Now there are at least 50,000 school-age children who cannot go to school in Chaos City, and the funds currently raised by the Foundation, as well as Chaos The expanded school building of the academy can only accommodate 5,000 new students, and there is still a huge shortage of teachers.
Those children who cannot go to school, unless they have extraordinary talents, most of them can only do the most basic physical labor because they have not studied, which is unfair to them.
If the members of the Aden Chamber of Commerce present,
We intend to provide these children with some assistance within our ability. You can directly find Teacher Luna, or come to me. I hope we can do our part so that more children can enter school and learn like your children. Knowledge can change your destiny. "
Prolonged applause resounded in the banquet hall, people chatted in low voices, and there was some new content about the donation.
"Thank you." Gloria bowed to everyone, and then gracefully walked down the high platform.
Soon a businessman came forward to communicate with her. Mars followed Gloria with a notebook and a pen in his hand, writing down a name and a sum of money in the notebook from time to time.
"People who speak out for children's education like this have never appeared in our Ross Empire." Earl Abraham sat in the VIP seat, 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 pretend to be smart are even more troublesome." Vanessa whispered, paused for a while, and said: " I don't think that's quite right."
Abraham smiled and nodded and said: "Those guys who think they are smart, kill a group from time to time and it's over. Those who follow are just a group of clowns. But I don't think it's a bad thing to make more people smart. , A truly smart person is civilized, knows the law and abides by etiquette, but will spontaneously maintain order, just like most people in a chaotic city."
"Know the law and abide by the etiquette." Vanessa was thoughtful, and after a while, she looked at Abraham and asked, "Then uncle Abraham, why didn't you suggest to the father to correct it? "
"Your Majesty naturally has His Majesty's thoughts, maybe what he thinks is right." Abraham shook his head with a smile, picked up a piece of delicate pastry, fed it into his mouth, chewed it, and said: "I like to eat, drink and have fun. Things, I'm just talking nonsense, who do you think will believe me?"
"Brother Xiao En, brother Joshua can't either?" Vanessa asked.
"Sean is more like your father, and Joshua is more interested in magic than education. They also like people who are obedient and not very smart." Abraham smiled and said, "You know, the same as Dealing with smart people is more tiring than dealing with foolish people."
Vanessa looked at Abraham and said with a firm smile: "I believe, I believe what Uncle Abraham said, that a civilized empire built by smart people is the future of the Ross Empire."
Abraham's chewing movement paused, and he looked up at Vanessa with a bit of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly threw half of the cake in his mouth into his mouth, and said with a relaxed smile: "That's it!" It’s fine if you talk about it in the city of chaos, but don’t talk nonsense when you return to Luodu, especially don’t tell your majesty, otherwise he will definitely say that I brought you to the city of chaos to teach you badly.”
"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 also study. " Vanessa said with a smile.
Abraham's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "I think it's pretty good. If you want to build a school, I will support you. I will provide you with land and money. You can build as many schools as you want."
"Then uncle, do you want to go back to run the school with me?"
"That's no good, then I'm stealing your limelight." Abraham smiled and waved his hands, "I'd better stay in the city of chaos, eat hot pot, eat skewers, and make a living."
"Uncle, you are going 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 old? How can I be an old man running back and forth." Abraham said with a look of course.
...
Mag was invited to Michael's box, and Michael was the only one in the box.
Michael looked at Mag who came in with a smile and said, "Boss Mai, let me tell you something. If there is no accident, the messenger of the Falk tribe will arrive in Chaos City tomorrow, and I will invite you to the Twilight Forest to serve Gary. The Coronation Dinner is responsible for the cooking of the banquet dishes."
