"Compete for the right to speak?" Lin Rui frowned. ｀｀し

"Yes, the decision of the twelve-seat board of directors to suppress all forces that oppose him. It even pushed me out of the company's decision-making level. Michelle said a little tiredly, "Unfortunately, the situation is not good for me right now. Most of the board members leaned toward his faction. And I had to fight with him. ”

"It doesn't look easy. Zhao Jianfei looked at the silver wolf Michelle and said.

"There is no way, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Michelle smiled wryly, "It's not a day or two of factional struggle within Morningstar. We know that. CEOs know better. Fortunately, for now, the chief is still more inclined to our side. ”

He sighed, walked alone to the window, and said calmly, "I'm old. And years of hard work are enough for me to live a luxurious and hedonistic life like a god king for the rest of my life. But I can't retreat, because my today is bought by the blood and lives of countless comrades-in-arms. My brothers, who were once with me on the battlefield, were watching me. They are dead, I am alive. So my life is not mine, and I have to live for them. ”

Shogan was silent for a while and said, "I understand what you mean. ”

"You don't really understand, because you're not in my place. Silver Wolf Michelle smiled bitterly, "Okay, let's not talk about these heavy topics. Now that this mission is over, it's time for you to relax. You can go out and find some fun these days, but don't go overboard. He waved his hand in a dashing manner. The members of the XCOM team cheered.

Michelle walked up to Lin Rui's side and handed him an envelope. "I think you might be interested in that." ”

"What is it?" Lin Rui said.

"Some recent news about your grandfather. I know you miss him a lot, and a lot of times you can't even make phone calls. Here are some of the photos I commissioned the person who took care of him to take for him. Looks like he's been doing pretty well. Michelle shrugged.

Lin Rui took it, looked at the old man in the photo, nodded and said, "Bothered." Unexpectedly, you sent these over on purpose. ”

"I never compromise on what I promised. Michelle smiled. "I arranged a nursing home with the best conditions for him, and I was accompanied by a special person. By the way, I've already transferred your salary this week to your private account for you. It's still the old rule, one-third is used for your grandfather's pension expenses. You can spend the rest however you want. ”

"Thank you. Lin Rui nodded.

"Not necessarily. Michelle turned to Yelena, walked over and hugged her, and said with a smile, "Yelena, my pretty girl, how are you doing?"

"It's fine. Yelena also seems to know Michelle well.

"Your medication problem shouldn't be ...... You know what I mean. Michelle said slowly, "Your mother cares about you. ”

Yelena's expression moved slightly, and she nodded, "I don't need those things now, but I haven't quit drinking yet." ”

Michelle smiled and kissed her on the forehead, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "I know you're going to make it." With that, he walked over to Ivan and hugged the big man, "Ivan, you damn Englishman! I heard you were shot last time? ”

Ivan laughed and said, "It's commonplace." ”

Watch Michelle and everyone greet each other warmly and laugh together. Zhao Jianfei sat there smiling and whispered, "He always said that some places are no longer as good as me." But I knew in my heart that as a mercenary, he was unsurpassable. And he's a natural leader. ”

Shogishi chuckled with a wine glass, "Sounds like you're a little jealous of him." ”

"Of course, he has the capital to be envied. Isn't it?" Zhao Jianfei smiled slightly.

"Yes. But you are not the only one who is jealous of him, you are jealous of him, and you admire him. And some people are jealous of him, but they lead to hatred. When he first took office, most people within Morningstar refused to let a Chinese enter the board. It is his impressive record and the strong support of the chief that allowed him to truly enter the decision-making level of the board of directors. There are many people who are not convinced. "Shogan said slowly.

Zhao Jianfei nodded and was silent.

After the mission ended, XCOM Team completely relaxed for a few days. Delicious food, hot baths, and even the ability to sleep in bed. In the past few days, Lin Rui has completely slept a good night's sleep.

When he woke up, Zhao Jianfei and the others walked in. "Awake?"

"Wake up. Lin Rui stretched his waist and said, "What's the matter?"

"The silver wolf is gone. The chemical weapons storm has passed, and in the past few days, Harlot's government forces have approached Cantor City, and General Dunby's Free Liberation Alliance has been forced to negotiate peace. Regardless of the outcome of the peace talks, he will be forced to return several major cities he has occupied, retreating to his mountainous areas. It can be said that the situation here has basically stabilized. Shogan smiled slightly.

"What about us?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Silver Wolf told us to follow Alberta for the time being. And now that Alberta is ready to evacuate, most of the mercenaries will be withdrawn in the next two days, leaving only a small number to help Harlot carry out some regular guard tasks. Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "We will leave tomorrow and go with Alberta." ”

"Where are you going?" Lin Rui said with a slight frown.

"Go to the station in Cape Town and rest and be ready to go. Ivan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I miss the girls in the underground heaven a little." ”

"You're such a pervert, and you're an old pervert. Zhao Jianfei laughed.

Ivan said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, you're a regular visitor there too." ”

"I just go for a drink and never look for a woman. At least I'm not willing to spend money on a woman. Zhao Jianfei shrugged, turned around and patted Lin Ruidao, "Get up and tidy up, we will gather in the evening, and there will be a transport helicopter that will take us back." I don't think you'll want to miss that plane, or you'll be crammed into a stinking truck with the rest of the mercenaries. ”

Lin Rui nodded, got up from the bed, moved his muscles and bones, and took a deep breath. This rare break left him energized. Sometimes he was really willing to trade a qiē for a good night's sleep, which was unimaginable before.

After Zhao Jianfei and the others walked out of the room, Lin Rui looked back at the messy sheets and quilts on the bed alone, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He no longer had the urge to fold the quilt into squares. Maybe you can't go back. When he embarked on the path of a mercenary, there was no turning back. Just like Michelle, the silver wolf, can't turn back, he can't turn back
