American Peanuts

Chapter 216 Thunder method, royal invitation

"Of course not, this is all nonsense, sir." Bianca immediately objected, "This is a slander against me."

"Then listen to this." The trade union representative took out his mobile phone and started playing the recording in front of everyone.

"Yes, that's right, that's it. We need to give him some color. The issue of remuneration will be mentioned in the meeting..." Bianca's voice sounded full of confidence in the recording, but it was not as strong as it is now.

"I...I..." The expression on Bianca's face was uncertain, and she obviously didn't expect that the other party would actually record.

"For the rest, you can communicate with the local British police." Charlie signaled Aimo behind him to invite in the local police members who had been notified in advance.

"You are setting up a trap. You guys are colluding to harm me! I want to find a lawyer and initiate a lawsuit!" Bianca said angrily.

But soon, with the arrival of the local police, Bianca finally couldn't hold on anymore.

"Sir, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have colluded with others. I was obsessed with it. I was also doing it for the good of the company." She pleaded with tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

Good one for the company.

Charlie looked at her and shook his head: "Now that you know you were wrong, you have to bear the consequences."

"Sir..." Bianca's call echoed in the conference room.

Smith, who was also involved, also suffered the situation of being taken away for investigation.

As for the other core senior executives who are in the same group as Bianca and Smith, Charlie will also not let them go, and they will be liquidated one by one.

"The two annoying flies have been taken away, and we can continue the meeting." Charlie looked at everyone.

"I am willing to comply with all arrangements made by Mr. Charlie Rossi." Larov Spez raised his hand.

"I agree." Several union representatives also raised their hands.

The obstacles were cleared and the meeting went very smoothly.

Charlie asked Larov Speth to be the temporary person in charge, fully responsible for this merger. After the meeting, he also held discussions with several guild representatives.

Charlie once again expressed the promise he had made before. After Larov told Charlie about the other party's plan, he contacted several representatives of the guild through Larov. Of course, what Bianca can give, Charlie can also give. And the other party readily agreed to cooperate with Charlie.

Therefore, this meeting is not so much a banquet for Charlie as it is a reckoning with Bianca and Smith.

"No wonder you rejected my plan. It turns out that you already have a plan." Elmo said to Charlie with a relaxed look.

In his heart, he felt that he had not misjudged the person. It was reasonable for Charlie to be prepared for such an important matter.

"It's just that next time, please tell me in advance. You know that I have been busy until three or four in the morning for this document." Ai Mo yawned. Although she was already used to this busy life, her The body is not made of iron either.

“I tend to pick the best of the options,” Charlie explains.

In other words, the work of his subordinates is work, and Charlie will certainly not give him any extra care.

Ai Mo curled his lips. Although he knew this was true, he was also a little unhappy.

But then I heard Charlie change the topic: "But this time, there is a reason. If Sol can tell me earlier, I will hope that you can have a complete sleep."

These words made Elmo feel warm in his heart, which proved that Charlie at least had himself in his heart, and was not just an employer or lawyer.

After the turbulent meeting ended, Charlie immediately felt the warm reception from Land Rover's global headquarters.

Under Larov's personal guidance, he visited the main departments and spoke to the employees involved. Firstly, he reassured them that he would not carry out large-scale transformation of the existing structure. Secondly, He also expressed his attitude that he will increase investment and attention to the company in the future to ensure that it becomes a world-class automobile brand.

These words naturally won the support of everyone, and then Charlie, Elmo and a group of subordinates drove to visit the vehicle manufacturing plant located near the headquarters.

The Solihull plant is located in the Solihull metropolitan area of ​​the West Midlands, England, an area halfway between Birmingham and Coventry. It produces 24 hours a day to meet the global demand for Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Discovery models. need.

One of the union leaders who attended the meeting came from here. He enthusiastically introduced the current situation in the factory to Charlie. Charlie also took the opportunity to visit the assembly line, and even got into the finished car to try it out. After leaving the factory, Charlie rejected it. Larov took himself to two other British factories.

"You want to leave?"

"That's right, I'm no longer needed here. If nothing happens, I will return to the United States." Charlie patted him on the shoulder.

"You're not going to let me deal with these complicated problems alone, are you?" Larov said subconsciously.

Charlie looked at him and didn't respond.

"I... I know." Larov said in a grumpy manner.

A smile appeared on Charlie's face: "Of course not. If you encounter something beyond your ability, you can always ask for my help."

"Okay, sir." Ralof nodded helplessly.

As long as the company merger is settled, I will naturally take this seat in the future. In a sense, this can be regarded as a test for myself.

Since it is a test, we cannot let Mr. Charlie Rossi down!
Charlie parted with his entourage from Land Rover Jaguar in Whitley, Coventry, England.

"Are you sure you won't go to the company again? There are still a lot of legal matters to deal with." Ai Mo asked with some concern.

"For those ordinary legal documents, just let your subordinates do it. You don't need to do everything yourself, don't you think?"

"Then...where are we going now?" Ai Mo said with some difficulty, his face suddenly turned a little rosy.

"Do you want to go back to London? I don't want to anyway." Charlie shook his head and then suggested:
"Why don't you take a stroll around Coventry? When was the last time you gave yourself a holiday?"

Elmo thought for a long time before hesitatingly said, "It seems to be at Christmas, but at that time I had three cases on hand at the same time and worked at home every day. I don't know if this counts as a vacation."

"Then when was your last vacation?"

"Last Christmas?" Aymo asked back, not even sure herself.

"By the way, do you want to come together?" Charlie looked at several of Saul's men.

"Of course, Coventry has a long history and a lot of delicious food." Several people added it together and said immediately. After all, they were following the boss, and such good things often happened.

"Are you sure?" Charlie raised his eyebrows.

"Are we... sure, or not sure..." The person who answered suddenly became hesitant.

"Are you sure you don't know?" Charlie raised his voice.

"Then we won't go, let's go back to London first." The other party nodded immediately, with cold sweat pouring out of his forehead.

"Back to London?" Charlie asked again.

"Go back to Land Rover headquarters, headquarters. There are still some matters that we need to deal with there." The other party quickly corrected him.

"Very good, let's arrange it this way." Charlie finally got a satisfactory plan.

"These men of yours are really interesting." After they left, Aimo couldn't help but said with a smile.

Charlie stopped an old-fashioned taxi passing by on the roadside and headed to the city with Elmo. This time, it was just the two of them, and Charlie had a tourist mentality.

In the car, he also asked the driver what interesting places there were in Coventry, but Charlie was not satisfied with several of the driver's answers, and then asked Elmo next to him.

"How about going to Coventry Cathedral?" Elmo suggested at this time. She had a special preference for this kind of cultural monument full of historical color.

"Both of you, Coventry Cathedral is a sacred building full of history and modernity, and one of the most symbolic churches in Britain. Here, you can see two churches of different styles, one is from the 14th century The old Gothic church and the new modernist church of the 20th century. Together they bear witness to Coventry's suffering and rebirth..."

Charlie was not very interested in history, but Elmo listened with interest.

After coming out of the church, Elmo asked Charlie to go to an Arabic-style restaurant called Habibi.

During the dinner, she and Charlie enthusiastically introduced these exotic dishes.Such as kebabs, lamb stews, yogurt salads, falafel, tabbouleh, shawarma, etc.

"My mother is a devout Christian, which also affects my eating habits, although I am already secular enough in their eyes." Aimo explained with a smile.

"So, in the local area, a man can marry many wives, is that true?" Charlie asked curiously.

"Of course not, that's all old history. Besides, I'm a British citizen now." Elmo corrected.

"So, I heard that you are from Utah, where can you do this?" Elmo seemed to have thought of something.

Charlie took a sip, looked at the farm that looked like Indian food, and was immediately choked by the spicy taste.

"Ahem, who did you hear that from?"

"News reports about you on the Internet."

"Are you paying attention to me? I caught you."

Elmo quickly clarified: "In fact, I will conduct basic investigations on every employer, especially those with well-known names."

But Elmo doesn’t check out every report by others. In her opinion, this is a waste of time.

Charlie didn’t say anything, it was already afternoon when he came out of the restaurant.

Charlie and Elmo chose to walk to the famous Coombe Abbey Park in Coventry. Although it has a monastery in its name, it is actually no different from an ordinary city park.

This is of course Elmo's suggestion. In Charlie's opinion, there is really nothing worth visiting here, but Elmo enjoys the atmosphere of simply being an ordinary tourist.

"Handsome sir, would you like to buy a bouquet of flowers for your female companion?" As they were crossing the intersection, a young boy selling flowers took the initiative to solicit business.

This type of vendor is very common near the park.

Charlie bought a rose and handed it to Elmo.

"Thank you." Aymo smiled and took the flowers from Charlie.

"To be honest, this is the first time I have received flowers." Aimo said, dumbfounded.

"This surprises me even more than the CMA's termination of the investigation." Charlie told the truth.

Then I thought that women who are too elite and have successful careers actually have the same confusion as men at the bottom, and it is very difficult for them to find a partner.

"I think I should be very popular, right? In fact, that's not the case at all. I have been studying in the UK since I was a child. My skin color, accent, and living habits are all different from those of my local peers. When I reached the age where I started to have sex, all the girls of the same age were enjoying it." When it comes to love, I can only look at it with envy. And I still had some baby fat at that time, so I looked even more ordinary."

"Later I entered the university campus, at that time I had already set the goal to become a great lawyer, so I focused all my energy on the law."

"Later, as you can see, I was very busy at work, and I felt that the gap between them was too big among the people who expressed their affection for me, so I have been single until now." She said about her life past.

"When I turned 30, I had a premonition that I would never be able to find a suitable partner in my life, and gradually I became less interested in it."

Elmo spoke eloquently, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, she was waiting for Charlie to say those words.

But Charlie didn't, I don't know what he was thinking.

"Are you listening?" Aimo couldn't help but frown and asked.

"Of course." Charlie turned and looked at her.

"It's good to hear it." Elmo raised his head and walked in front of Charlie.

At the same time, Charlie's cell phone rang, and he took it out to see that it was Taylor calling.

"Do you need me to avoid it?" Aimo turned around and tried to ask.

"I don't think it's needed." Charlie answered the phone.

"Honey, is the acquisition going well?"

"of course."

"Then when will you come back? I miss you so much. The work is over, and I can finally relax for a few days." Taylor said sweetly on the other end of the phone.

"I'll go back right away." Charlie reassured.

Charlie put down his phone and shrugged at Aymo: "I have to go back."

"Okay, we've almost finished playing, it's time to go back." Aimoshi said calmly, without any emotion or anger on his face.

Taylor's words interrupted the two people's temporary arrangement, and the two rushed back to London that night.

"Where are the others? Why didn't they come back with you two?" Taylor ran into the two of them in the hall and asked.

"They have to deal with some legal matters, so I left them at the headquarters." Charlie looked at Elmo beside him.

"Have a nice night." Elmo walked towards the elevator first.

When Charlie and Taylor stepped into the elevator, they were the only two left in the confined space.

"Ahem." Taylor cleared his throat heavily and forcibly pulled Charlie's arm over.

Charlie felt a little helpless and hugged Taylor.

"By the way, members of the royal family arranged for someone to send an invitation letter today, inviting you to attend a private party hosted by the royal family the day after tomorrow."

"Invite me?" Charlie was a little strange about this arrangement.

As for the upper class people in British society, it cannot be said that they know nothing about them; they can only be said to be out of reach.

"That's right, Land Rover and Jaguar are now in your hands. These are serious brands exclusively for the British royal family. Of course you need to contact the other party." Taylor mentioned.

This is probably the historical foundation of the long-standing brand.
