Chapter 274 The Awakening Franklin

"Change?"

Franklin turned to look at Amber and smiled to himself.

"What can I change? I'm just a small person, not even an ant, at most a speck of dust."

'My self-positioning is pretty good,' Amber thought, and then said:
"You haven't thought about it concretely, and you haven't really taken any action. Why do you think you can't do it?"

"Mr. Rebel, you are quite good at comforting people."

Franklin took a glass of champagne from the plate in the hands of the passing waiter, then walked to Amber and drank it in one gulp.

"I heard this champagne is quite expensive, why do you drink it like that?"

Franklin, who was feeling a little depressed and complicated, didn't pay attention to Amber's teasing. He put the wine glass aside and said:
"For an ordinary person like me, even if I really do it, work hard, and work hard, how much can I change?"

"A person's destiny must consider not only personal struggle, but also the process of history." Amber said in a calm tone.

Then his eyes lit up, and after a certain previously 'knotted' train of thought in his mind was untied, Franklin quickly completed a round of 'self-persuasion'.

"I've heard it, but I don't understand what you mean."

But unfortunately, the latter's expression management is very good, and it is an emotionless 'business smile' from beginning to end.

Amber found a sofa arranged nearby for guests to rest on and sat down, and motioned for Franklin to sit down and rest as well.

He would not lead a group of like-minded young people to harass the Star Dragon Empire's invading troops after the Star Dragon Empire took control of Ptolemaic City.

If he hadn't led his companions to harass the invading forces, he wouldn't have met Atlas's special operations team, let alone told them the information about nearby communication nodes.

If the Star Dragon Empire had not launched a war against the Federation, then he would be a rookie intern who had just entered the Senate.

Franklin fell silent, listening to Amber's words, and began to recall what happened these days in his mind.

He originally just wanted to inspire his frustrated peer and establish a good relationship with the future federal president in advance.
"You are right, Mr. Rebel!"

After hearing this, Franklin raised his head and looked at him, as if he wanted to see something through Amber's expression.

But if the entire environment is in a special period, there is still hope. "

If none of the above had happened, the Senate President and the administrative deputy of the Galaxy Autonomous Government would not have taken him with him after taking a fancy to him.

If this special operations team had not completed its mission, or if it had not completed its mission and added his name and what he did to the report, Franklin would not be being honored and coming to this manor today. .

"That means that when you were thinking about these issues, you focused all your attention on yourself and entered a dead end."

Amber did not expect that with just a few simple reminders, Franklin would complete the self-closed loop of the entire logical chain in his mind. '

Amber looked seriously at the young man who played the game and eventually ascended to the throne of president, and continued:
"If you can seize the opportunity and ride on the wave of this era, then the 'change' you want may really come true."

"What? Haven't you heard this sentence?" Seeing that Franklin remained silent, Amber took the initiative to ask.

"You can regard my next words as an unreliable prediction - this war is only a part, or just the beginning. The real 'good show' is yet to come."

"You mean the war between the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire?"

He found that what 'Mr. Rebel' said seemed to make sense.

"You definitely can't change anything by yourself, let alone if you want to change this country. In other words, it's too difficult to do this with individual abilities.

"Ah? It's okay. You can think more about it. My words may not be right."

"No, your words have awakened me. 'A person's destiny must consider not only personal struggle, but also the process of history.' This sentence is indeed correct."

Amber looked at this young man who was extremely depressed a minute ago and was now "resurrected" with some confusion. He really didn't expect Franklin's self-regulation ability to be so strong.

"Well, as long as it can be helpful to you, what I say may not be reliable."

"I decided that I can't just give up halfway. I have to seize this opportunity."

Although she didn't know what the young man was thinking just now, Amber was caught off guard by the other party's sudden 'awakening'.

And Franklin's next words also surprised Amber.

"Mr. Rebel, what about you? Are you and Atlas also planning to ride on this 'wave'?"

"Yo? You've learned how to be a guest, right?"

"Hahaha, mainly when I met your Atlas special operations team in Ptolemy City, they gave me a completely different feeling from others.
Even when they were performing such dangerous missions behind enemy lines, they always had high morale, as if they had a sense of mission. "

Speaking of this, Franklin couldn't help but think of the words Baninger left when he left the safe house.

[We are Atlas, kid]
Thinking of this, Franklin continued to ask:
"Mr. Rebeer, what kind of company is Atlas? Why does it give me a completely different feeling from other companies?" Faced with Franklin's question, Amber couldn't help but laugh. He really didn't expect it. This young man could ask such a question.

“First of all, from the most basic concept of ‘company’, there is actually no difference between us at Atlas and other companies.

It is also a collection of owners, operators, employees and other stakeholders. On this basis, it ensures a reasonable distribution of profits. To put it bluntly, my first purpose in establishing Atlas is to make money, and there is no other. Any reason. "

Amber's straightforward answer stunned Franklin for a moment. He was about to say something when he heard Amber continue:

“Of course, I don’t mind doing some extra things as long as I can continue to make money and ensure that everyone’s interests are not compromised.
For example, ending the war, helping those affected by war to return to normal lives, and making the world a better place~
Do you believe it or not? "

"I believe it." Franklin's tone was firm.

"Huh? I just said that and you believed it?"

To be honest, Amber was also surprised. He originally thought it would take more effort to get close to Franklin.

"Because I see something different in you than others."

"what?"

"I can't tell. But this feeling lets me know that you are completely different from federal officials and some plutocrats."

After Franklin finished saying this, he took a few deep breaths, as if to cheer himself up.

After a moment, he plucked up the courage to look at Amber and said:
"Mr. Rebel, as you said, if I really want to find a way to change the Federation, can I get your and Atlas's support?"

Franklin finally said these words, only to receive Amber's cold words.

"childish."

Looking at the surprised and puzzled expression of the young man next to her, Amber continued:

"First of all, what we just said was just two people who didn't like the noisy atmosphere of the cocktail party. Sitting together and chatting after drinking cannot be regarded as an agreement.

The second one is my personal suggestion to you. No matter what you want to do, if you think about 'attracting foreign aid' before you even start trying to do it, then 80% of the time you won't be able to do it well in the end. of.

Last but not least, and very realistically, why do you think you can get support from Atlas now?

You are just an intern in the Galaxy Autonomous Government Senate, and you have not shown any value yet. Why do you think Atlas would consider 'investing' in you? "

Amber's words made Franklin freeze in place. Obviously, this 'rookie' didn't expect why Mr. Ray Bill, who had just had a good conversation, would suddenly say such shocking words.

"Mr. Rebel, me"

"It's still a pleasure chatting with you, but let's talk about it today. I personally suggest that you take some time to think about it."

Amber stood up from the sofa and left her last words:

"If you really want to make some 'changes'."

When Franklin was still sitting on the sofa, thinking about what 'Mr. Ray Bill' had just said.

Amber has already taken hold of Isabel, who has returned from the "wives group".

"Hey, haven't you drank less?"

Seeing Isabel in a 'tippy' state under the influence of alcohol, Amber couldn't help but complain:

"The alcohol content of this champagne is not high. Isa, are you not a good drinker?"

"Hmph~ You're not very good at it."

Isabel's entire body was almost hanging on Amber's body, allowing the lsp to fully feel the softness of her body.

"I have done a great job for you."

"What great achievements? Did you get into this 'wives group'?"

"Not only that, I also got the private accounts of all of them, and the chief executive's wife and the wives of several other senior officials also invited me to attend their afternoon tea party in a few days."

"Okay, okay, great, great, great~"

Amber said perfunctorily, and then helped Isabel walk outside.

The rest of the celebration cocktail party was basically about mutual communication and matchmaking, and Amber was not interested in this.

After saying hello to Administrative Assistant Sam, he prepared to leave first with Isabel, who was obviously not very drunk.
