Chapter 615: Versailles
Benjamin's status as a rich man meant nothing in a place like this.
He tried to inquire about the old squad leader's information, but as soon as he asked, someone came over and warned him: "Don't ask around, you will know when they come."
In this strictly confidential unit, every member keeps the principle of confidentiality in mind and will never leak any information.
Deflated, Benjamin could only wait patiently.
Then he saw a small off-road vehicle coming from inside, and then a familiar figure jumped out.
Herner Bergen, director of the Third Mechanical Research Institute of Daxia and leader of the second mechanical class of Hadley University, made a brilliant appearance.
Daxia's technological progress in recent years was precisely because of people like him.
Invisible places, everyone has their own wonderful things.
The establishment of an empire is never the work of one person, and it cannot be simply described.
Herner also looked at Benjamin up and down. He wasn't very enthusiastic, but he didn't turn him away from him either.
"I heard that you deceived a group of people into going to sea. Why did you come back again?"
These old events are already dark history.
Benjamin knew that if he didn't explain clearly, he wouldn't be able to gain the trust of his old classmates.
"It's all fake. I was also deceived back then, and those people continued to deceive people in my name.
Originally, I was going to the Griffin Peninsula for development, but I didn’t know that I was abducted halfway.
But now the misunderstanding has been resolved, otherwise I would not have been able to appear here openly. "
Benjamin was very lucky now. Fortunately, Sanger's path was very wild, otherwise the case would not have been cleared and it would have been impossible for him to be accepted by his classmates.
Hener's expression softened slightly when he heard this. If this is the case, Benjamin is also a victim and everyone can continue to interact.
He didn't think Benjamin would lie to him. Although he couldn't continue to pay attention to the case back then, it was still very simple to check whether the case was cleared up.
"Thank you for your hard work, old classmate. Come in and chat with me." Hener invited him to get in the car and asked very proactively: "You are back now. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Everyone has done well in these years. , I will help you if I can.”
As the first two batches of college graduates, their classmates all did well.
In ten years, those who have become rich have become rich, those who have been promoted have been promoted, and those who are obsessed with technology have gained academic status. There is absolutely no problem in helping an old classmate.
Benjamin hurriedly said: "Squad leader, I have actually been doing pretty well in the past few years. I am now working for Senator Sanger of the Lion Heart Kingdom and am responsible for his machinery factory and other industries. When I come back, I want to catch up with my classmates. Secondly, I want to recruit a group of professionals to expand the scale, or see if there is any transferable technology to bring back.
Don't worry... I have obtained the official certification license, and I am definitely not here to deceive others. "
Benjamin wanted to show off. He felt that he was doing well. Sanger trusted him very much and held many positions.
I'm afraid 80% of my classmates back then were still working hard as engineers, right?
Maybe I can hire a few classmates who have better grades than myself and have a taste of the thrill of counterattack.
Herner's reaction was very dull. He thought Benjamin was bullshit. Among his classmates, which one would be willing to work in the Lionheart Kingdom?
"I can help you ask recent graduates. As for skills... there are some transferable ones." Hener also really wanted to help.
Arriving at the internal office building, Benjamin followed Herner straight to the director's office, and then saw Herner sitting down in the middle seat.
Benjamin was still confused, and Herner had already pulled out a box of cigars from the bottom drawer.
"I don't usually smoke this stuff. I almost forgot where I put it. Come and try our special in-house products."
Benjamin took the cigar. At this time, he had recovered a bit. So what if he had status? I am richer than you, and I have never enjoyed any good things.
Then he lit the cigar and took a puff... Why did it feel that it was of the same quality as the boxes collected by Sir Sanger?
Hener made another cup of tea for him with his own hands. Seeing his skillful movements, he smiled and said, "I have a few more boxes, which were distributed this month. I will take them away to you later. They should taste good, right? I heard Say this is the Royal Edition of Northland Cigars.”
Benjamin smiled. It was just a few boxes of cigars. He lived in a fun and good place. He was not envious... I really wasn’t envious.
Hener sat opposite Benjamin and said with emotion: "You are the only one who was my classmate back then and there is no trace of you. Over the years, people have talked about you every time we have gatherings. I have sent people to make appointments with them. Come today if you are free." I’ll take care of you.”
Benjamin felt a little heart-warming. He was considered an outlier back then, but he didn't expect everyone to still think about him.
He quickly asked: "I was too confused when I was young. How have everyone been doing these years?"
When he mentioned this, Hener couldn't help but shake his head: "The jobs assigned back then were all good, and even the units I found were well paid. If I persisted, I could now have a full-time official position.
But some people just can’t hold on. Do you remember Alex Parker? The most handsome one? "
Of course Benjamin remembered, he was deeply impressed: "Of course I remember Alex, he was so handsome with good grades, how many female classmates liked him, I remember he was also assigned to a graduate school at that time?"
"Yes! This guy is not living up to expectations! He quit his good job and insisted on going overseas to start a business. What do you think?" Hener's face was full of hatred.
Benjamin was just sighing about his friendship with his classmates, but now he is gloating.
"What's wrong?"
"He has completely thrown away his major. Although he has earned millions of gold coins and married a noble lady from the North, what's the use?
Look at me. My food, clothing and shelter are all provided by the Empire. My wife was introduced by the Empire. I have no place to spend money.
And I was just conferred a title by His Majesty a few years ago. What does Alex have? His professional ability was not worse than mine back then." Hena shook his head and condemned. He felt that no matter how much money he made, it was meaningless. It was better to use what he learned to build the empire. He really thought so.
Benjamin's expression was dull. Damn bastard! I also want to live like this.
Whether it was millions of gold coins or noble ladies from the North, they made his eyes red with envy.
He was originally a selfish character. How could he change with a little touch?
Once stimulated, his true nature was immediately exposed.
But he had not been around for nothing these years. He had become shrewd and knew what to expose and what to hold back.
Benjamin forced himself to smile while chatting with Hena until the evening finally came.
