Chapter 645 Directors of the Third Age
"Bernard, you're late."
As soon as the Gauls finished speaking, another voice came to his ears.
The speaker was a middle-aged man about fifty years old, wearing a straight tunic suit with a calm face, walking down the stairs.
Without Shi Yitong's introduction, Li Yu could already guess the identity of the person in front of him.
He is obviously one of the five directors of the Third Age, the host of this annual meeting, and the owner of Hongye Villa, Mr. Qin.
"I went around the Forbidden City in the afternoon and was fascinated by it without realizing it, so I was late." Bernard looked up and grinned.
Mr. Qin knew the behavior of the Gauls in front of him and didn't bother to argue with him. He just nodded.
"Since you're here, let's have dinner together, everyone is waiting for you."
After hearing the last sentence, Bernard not only felt no guilt or blame, but was secretly happy. He pretended to apologize, but was the first to sit down at the dining table.
Immediately afterwards, the eleven or twelve-year-old Angsa girl Li Yu saw before also walked down the stairs.
Then there was a drunken Slav. Although he was also wearing a dress, he was a little unkempt, unshaven, and still swaying when he walked.
A waiter followed him, ready to catch him when he fell, but he was roughly pushed away by him.
"I don't need help, I'm not drunk yet."
While muttering, he also complained to Mr. Qin beside him, "You have to repair the monsters in the manor, Lao Qin, their eyesight is too poor."
Mr. Qin nodded when he heard this, "I understand, Sergey."
After meeting Sergey, Miss Windsor's eyes showed a trace of undetectable disgust, and Bernard also moved his buttocks, as if he wanted to stay away from this old drunkard.
Sergey didn't take it seriously, and soon after he sat down, he began to eat as if no one else was watching.
On the other hand, neither Miss Windsor nor Bernard moved their chopsticks, as if they were still waiting for someone.
At this time, four directors had gathered in the living room on the first floor, and only the last person was missing.
"Taylor," Shi Yitong said in a low voice, "she is the most powerful director on the board of directors now, and other directors more or less need to look at her face to act.
"Especially Miss Windsor and Bernard. They are like Taylor's two little followers."
"But I remember you said that Miss Windsor had controlled the board of directors before." Li Yu said.
"Yes, but that was a long time ago. In fact, even that idiot Bernard was famous for a while, but today is different from the past. Their era has passed."
"Are there differences between directors?" Li Yu said, "What about Mr. Qin, where does he rank among the five directors now?"
"Secondly, no one has more power than him except Taylor, but Taylor's family is too powerful. Three of the five directors are from them, so it's best not to mess with them."

Li Yu nodded, having a general understanding of the company's senior management.
Another quarter of an hour passed before the fifth director finally showed up.
Li Yu first heard the click of high heels on the floor, raised his head and looked towards the stairs.
I saw a tall figure, who was taller than the twin girls, probably close to 1.9 meters tall.
However, he has maintained a good figure and has not gained weight like Sergey.
However, her body has both male and female characteristics. She has a pair of powerful chests, wears eye shadow and thick lipstick, wears a yellow dress, and has a fur around her neck.
However, on the other hand, she has a large male frame, an obvious Adam's apple, and even leg hair.
Li Yu is usually a very stable person in life and work. Coupled with his experiences in the past half year, there are very few things that can surprise him.
But Taylor's appearance still shocked him a lot.
"I didn't know, but the fifth director turned out to be...transgender."
"It's a transgender person." Hephaestus corrected, and finally said, "Don't you like people like this?"
"That's not true." Li Yu shook his head, "I respect everyone's choice, but I was a little surprised when I saw it for the first time."
"This is human nature." Shi Yitong said.
When they saw Taylor coming, Miss Windsor and Bernard immediately stood up with respectful expressions. Then they looked at Sergey who was still engrossed in eating.
Bernard reminded, "Tyler is here, you should stand up and show respect to him..."
He was answered with a middle finger.
Bernard's face turned red all of a sudden. He didn't expect Sergey to give him any face in front of so many company employees.
But since we were all directors, Bernard had nothing to do with Sergey.
In the end, I could only pretend not to notice, turned around and diligently helped Taylor, who was the last to arrive, to pull out the chair.
"Bernard, you're late." Taylor didn't say thank you, but just sat down on the chair that Gaul had pulled out for him, and then said.
Bernard's face changed slightly, but this time he didn't use any excuses like forgetting the time while visiting scenic spots, and stood aside like a child who had done something wrong.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal. Don't come so late next time." After Taylor finished speaking, he looked at Miss Windsor again and said warmly, "Everyone, please sit down."
The two of them sat down.
Taylor looked at Mr. Qin again, "Where is the annual meeting going now?"
"The first round of prizes has just been drawn." Mr. Qin said, "Are you going to say a few words to everyone next?"
"No, you are the host, so you should come." Taylor said, "I'm just here to taste oriental food tonight."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of tablecloth and tied it around her neck.
"Really? I heard that you have been in Hokkaido some time ago. Aren't you tired of eating the sashimi there?" Sergey, who had been silent before, suddenly put down his elbow and said.
"What about you? It's been a long time since you've had sour cherry dumplings and chicken Kiev." Taylor said calmly.
"Interesting... really interesting." Sergey's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but before he could continue, he was interrupted by Mr. Qin.
"Everyone, I need to remind you that we are currently attending the company's annual meeting. No matter what grudges you have had in the past, please exercise restraint in front of our employees and don't make more jokes."
"Wait a minute," Bernard frowned, "What did you mean when you said more...Have we made any other jokes?"
"It's not important. Eat something quickly and move on to the next step." Mr. Qin urged. (End of chapter)
