Infernal Rhapsody

Chapter 52 Joseph and his son's calculation

In the Roman Colonial Federal Bureau of Social Order, the archives processing center is definitely not a critical and rich department. Even the department in charge of the department believes that he has been beaten into a cold palace and is discriminated against. He is full of complaints all day long and racking his brains about how to transfer to other departments, let alone the people below.

But Joseph, the second-level supervisor, is an exception. Although his title is not high and his salary is not high, his work attitude is very positive and full, which is highly praised and appreciated by some senior leaders. Recently, there are rumors that a powerful figure in the bureau is dissatisfied with the current situation of the archives processing center and intends to promote Joseph the Elder to replace the position of supervisor.

The original supervisor sneered at this and threatened that I don't like to sit in such a big position that can't stand one yuan.

Old Joseph also scoffed at this. No wonder the guy spent his whole life in the social order bureau to barely get into the middle class. With this attitude, he may be sent home in advance for retirement soon.

People with vision can dig gold anywhere. Joseph the old has always believed in this motto.

Recalling his achievements in the first half of his life, Joseph is extremely proud and proud. Forty years ago, when I was nearly 50 years old, I still did nothing. I lived in the most dilapidated house in the slums. I had no money and couldn't find a woman. I was as poor as a tramp and once could only make a living by picking up garbage.

For goodby chance, Joseph old got a job in the Social Order Bureau. Although he is the lowest cleaner, Joseph still cherishes it very much, sincerely and conscientiously, and has come to this day step by step. Forty years now, he has not only become the second-level supervisor of the archives processing center, but also married and has children to set up a family. In Rome, he has owned a large-scale company and become a quasi-up upper-class person.

All this is almost equivalent to a miracle for an ordinary civilian without any *. Joseph, the elder, once asked for the secret of success. He said very sincerely, "God is fair. As long as a person can be down-to-earth and work hard, he will always get the reward he deserves."

Is this really the case?

Joseph old got off work a little earlier than usual today. When he got home, his son Joseph Jr. had already turned away all the social activities at home.

To be honest, old Joseph hates his son very much. In the eyes of others, at the age of Joseph in his early 30s, he became the president and managed a company quite prosperously, which can be called an excellent young talent.

But in fact, old Joseph has a saying of suffering. Others don't know, don't I know yet? Little Joseph has no other ability. He is a good player in eating, whoring and gambling. He only cares about having fun with his wine and meat friends all day long. If it hadn't been for the old Joseph's clenched teeth and tried his best to support him, I'm afraid that the family business that he had worked hard for decades would have been ruined by this unscrupulous son.

"Dear father, you are back." Joseph Jr. waved his hand to let the servant retreat and politely took old Sejov's bag and welcomed him into the room. Without me, I am nothing. No one knows this better than him.

Although his son is disappointing, he is still filial to himself. Old Joseph feels somewhat comforted. He walked into the study without saying a word. Seeing the old man's style, little Joseph knew that there would be an important conversation next, so he quickly followed and closed the door firmly.

Old Joseph carefully took out a nail-sized data card from the communication tool he carried with him and put it into a reader. The details of dozens of people were quickly displayed on the terminal. These people are all candidates for the recruitment of trainee law enforcement guards by the Social Order Bureau this year. Without exception, their assessment results are very excellent.

"Come and have a look." Old Joseph greeted his son to his side.

Little Joseph glanced with doubt and suddenly said, "Father, you are, this is... God, do you want to kill our family?"

These materials are federal secrets with a high level of confidentiality and are never allowed to appear outside the headquarters of the Federal Office of Social Order. Those who leak secrets will definitely be sentenced to heavy sentences. Little Joseph turned pale with fear and wondered if the old man had suddenly lost his nerves.

"Stupid, what's the fuss about?" Old Joseph stared at his son angrily and scolded, "Of course, there is a reason for me to take the risk of doing this, and there is also a way to deal with it. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm also worried about you. Now that you have arranged it, I have nothing to worry about." Little Joseph was not very relieved and said with a smile.

"You don't have to worry about my business. Just take care of yourself." Old Joseph scolded his son again and said seriously, "You are my son. No one knows my ability better than you. Let me ask you, how did I get all my achievements today?"

Little Joseph was stunned, thought for a while, and then said carefully, "Didn't you say that earlier? Be down-to-earth and work hard..."

"Bullshit." Old Joseph interrupted him rudely and sneered angrily: "Only a fool would believe what I said, but I didn't expect that even his son would believe it... You really disappointed me."

"Then why didn't you tell me directly?" Little Joseph is a little aggrieved.

"B bastard, you follow me every day, don't you know how to observe and study carefully?" Old Joseph wanted to be furious, but on second thought, if his son could really do this, he would not have to work so hard for him. He sighed and said, "Forget it, I will clearly give you a lesson today... Listen carefully, it will benefit you for the rest of your life."

"Okay, father." Little Joseph sat up respectfully and prepared to listen to the teachings.

"In those years, I was an ordinary person who had no skills and no power to rely on. With my own efforts alone, I had no hope of being successful."

Old Joseph recalled the past with emotion and taught his life experience to his son earnestly: "My success comes from following the real winners and relying on their help. For example, Deputy Director Zhuolun is one of them... You know why Deputy Director Zhuolun takes so much. Me? The reason is that I established a good relationship with him before he made his fortune. Ha ha, at that time, he was not even a trainee law enforcement guard. Who would have thought that he would become such a big man today? Alas, if my ability in all aspects is stronger, it will not be limited to the current achievements.

To sum up, this passage is to follow the strong in exchange for charity. Old Joseph actually wanted to speak more thoroughly, but because of his father's dignity, it was difficult to say.

"You used to..." Fortunately, little Joseph was not that kind of stupid person. He suddenly realized, "You took the risk of taking out these materials. It turns out that you just want to choose some objects worth investing in?"

"Yes, as long as you understand, but I don't choose, but you." Old Joseph nodded and said, "Even if Deputy Director Zhuolun is promoted to a higher position, I am limited to conditions. In terms of so many years of friendship, he can only pull me again. And you also know your ability. I can help you for a while, but it is impossible to help you for a lifetime. The road of life must be completed by yourself. Therefore, I will take the risk to bring out these things. It will take some time for the selection and recruitment to come to a final result. These are all candidates with outstanding assessment results. If there is no accident, they should basically be selected. You should carefully choose a few suitable ones and find an opportunity to have a good relationship with them first.

"This is not something that can benefit in the short term. In the future, you have to focus on your career and fool around with less with bastards who only know how to eat, drink and play with women." Old Joseph was worried and advised, "Also, you must remember not to be stingy with investment. The larger your investment, the more you will get."

"I will remember, father." Little Joseph Nono answered.

After browsing the information of these dozens of candidates, little Joseph suddenly found that a face seemed to be a little familiar. He quickly enlarged the image and looked at it carefully. His expression couldn't help but change and said, "This is called Di Changli. I know him."

"Oh, if you know each other, it will be easier to deal with it." Old Joseph was a little happy: "It seems that you don't know all useless friends outside."

"He is not my friend." Little Joseph's face darkened and said, "Father, this guy can't let him become a trainee law enforcement guard, or I will be in trouble."

Old Joseph sat up straight and stared at him sternly: "What? Did you have a grudge against him?

"There is no hatred." Little Joseph did not dare to look into his father's eyes and whispered, "You should know that I was pursuing Miss Tracy, which was very promising, but once I met this Di Changli. His relationship with Miss Tracy seemed to be unusual, so I hired a private detective to investigate him. However, the private detective withdrew my commission on the grounds that Di Changli was a policeman. He couldn't afford to offend him and didn't want to ruin his job.

"Oh, that's right, he used to be a detective, and the recommended person selected this time is Director Matt of the 52 Police Station of District 9." Old Joseph clicked on the details of Di Changli and said with a relaxed look, "So there is no festival between you. At most, there is only a little misunderstanding. Well, in fact, it's not bad to have this little misunderstanding. If you take the opportunity to apologize to him, the relationship will naturally be closer.

"No, no, father, you don't understand what I mean." Joseph Jr. said eagerly, "If he becomes a trainee law enforcement guard, his position in Miss Tracy's mind will be more important. Then there is little hope for Miss Tracy and me. Besides, he may have known through the private detective that I am sending someone to investigate him, which will probably have a bad impression on me, and may try to find a way to be unfavorable to me in the future.

"Really?" Old Joseph's eyes flashed. Regarding Tracy, he has paid attention to her situation, and in fact he is encouraging his son to pursue her. A young, beautiful, famous and very capable female lawyer, no matter who can marry her home, most of the help in the future is conceivable.

"If you don't have this Di Changli, are you sure?" After meditating for a long time, old Joseph asked vaguely.

"Of course." For women, little Joseph has always felt better about himself, and has not forgotten the humiliation he suffered when he met with Di Changli. Under the effect of strong jealousy, he only thought about how to hit the damn rival fiercely. Although he was a little guilty, he still patted his chest and promised solemnly: "Miss Tracy to me I am very fond of it. As long as there is no Di Changli in the middle, I believe that I will definitely get Miss Tracy's heart. Father, you must help me. I love Miss Tracy. With her, I swear that I will work hard and never let you down again.

"Okay, I'll figure it out." After thinking for a long time, old Joseph said heavily.

Although he can't decide whether any candidate will be selected or not, there are some things that can successfully achieve the goal by playing a little trick. Needless to say, the risk of doing this is very great, but senior Joseph has no choice but to deal with his son's vital interests and future happiness. At the same time, he is also glad that Di Changli's recommender is just a small police sub-director, not a great figure. As long as he is careful, there should be no big leaks.

"What?"

In Director Matt's office, Gampino waved a document faxed from the headquarters of the Social Order Bureau and said in surprise, "Findley passed, and Di Changli was rid of it?" This is unbelievable... I'm sorry, Findley, you know, I don't mean to belittle you."

"It doesn't matter." Findley didn't mind that he was immersed in great joy and excitement. In fact, he thinks this is his own luck. After all, in all aspects, whether it is Di Changli or Gambino, his ability is better than him.

"Facts are facts, and there is no reason." Director Matt is also very sorry. He is extremely optimistic about Di Changli, otherwise he will not find a valuable indicator to give him. I have verified with the Social Order Bureau that Di Changli has indeed been eliminated. It should be because his last test score is too poor... Well, Findley, before I congratulate you, I will inform him of this bad news.

When he received the news, Di Changli was quite surprised, but he accepted the fact quite calmly. In fact, he doesn't care about whether he can become a trainee law enforcement guard.

Because this is not the life path he chose, he is just competing for apprentice law enforcement guards to fulfill his promises. In the process, he is also doing his best to achieve a clear conscience. It should be Robert who feels sorry for this.
