How did I become a villain

Since both parties hope to have an in-depth exchange of views with each other, there is no need for his behavior to be too subtle.

"You are so honest." A Chinese man beside him said.

"Don't just talk about me, Liang, didn't you also come here because of new energy?" Harrison smiled slightly at his colleague in the construction industry.

Just as the other party understands why he agreed to accept the invitation of both parties to be an intermediary, he can also understand why the other party came.The main body of the construction company is Unlimited Energy Company. They may be a threat to the old energy faction, but they are natural partners for backward countries that even the old energy faction looks down on.

We all came with our own missions. The difference is that I came here for a family and an individual, while you came here for your country.

To this, the middle-aged man with round glasses just smiled modestly and did not answer.

Wright did not agree with Harrison's previous statement.He snorted and said, "How is it possible? Don't think that I will be honored by it. Although fame and fortune are already floating clouds to me, I am very happy to be able to participate in such a big project."

Even if that profiteer Howard didn't mention it, he would be very interested, and it might be a new challenge for him in the construction field.However, it turned out that this playboy actually used this kind of trick to lure himself in, and this way made him feel very uncomfortable.Of course he knew that the other party wanted to use his fame to endorse the newly established construction company platform, but he was just very upset.

It would be fine if the company ran for the construction of the United Nations headquarters, but if it didn't, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of him?

This Howard is so confident because of my dedication to the construction industry and my pursuit of excellence. He not only lied to me, an old man, but also engaged in sneak attacks. He really didn't speak martial arts.

Volume 139: [-] Well, it seems that we have to solve another thing first

When Griffin was bidding for the right to build the United Nations headquarters, an accident forced her to temporarily put the matter aside.

"You mean, the refitting of the USS Saratoga museum ship hasn't started yet?" After hearing the intention of the people sent by the Navy, the girl shook her head with extreme disbelief. "I have to be shocked by your low productivity."

Hmph, Mrs. Lie has only left for a few years, so she scolds my sister-in-law like this.

If you do this, don't blame me for kidnapping Saratoga.

The other party was a major. Although he was much older than Griffin, his confidence lowered his head involuntarily.Of course he couldn't explain the reason clearly, he could only falter and find other excuses. "This...mainly because of some personnel transfers during this process..."

Don't talk about your official language.It is precisely because I like to say this kind of empty talk that I can see how sincere and perfunctory it is.

"Don't tell me that someone has embezzled the remodeling fee." The girl shook her head, and the two carefully groomed golden ponytails flicked along with it, showing ripples like waves, and her blue eyes were full of dissatisfaction. "Or did the modification exceed the budget? Could it be that...you think the money is not enough and want to increase the money temporarily?"

If this is the case, then I have to reconsider our partnership.The price of deceiving allies is very serious. If my trust level is reduced to zero, I will start fishing.

"Of course not." Hearing the dissatisfaction in the girl's words, the major hurriedly tried to clarify.Xin said that you really don't trust us at all. Anyway, it's too bad to add money temporarily, which completely violates the spirit of the contract.Minister Forrest is not such a greedy character, but anyone with a little brain is unlikely to do so. "The main reason is that the Navy heard that you have opened a new company and wants to show their goodwill, so I want you to practice on the modification of the Saratoga first."

... I have to thank you for co-authoring it?

The girl's expression immediately became weird.It was a kind of entanglement of wanting to speak and stopping, and stopping talking and wanting.She also didn't know whether she should show gratitude for the "show of favor" to the navy, or whether she thought they were too busy.

"The navy is really well-informed." Griffin smiled, and no one could blame her from her sweet smile.

"This... we are also very concerned about your Excellency."

"It's not impossible to hand it over to us... Please pass on the previous modification drawings to me. After all, it is the first time we have received a special order such as the modification of a museum ship. Compared with companies with experience and traditions in this field of modification, this is also true for us. A challenge." Griffin asked the other party for the design drawing of the museum ship.However, seeing the captain of the navy with empty hands and a look of embarrassment on his face, the girl couldn't help but gasp. "Don't tell me, you don't even have blueprints!?"

No way?You guys have really left me speechless, doesn't that mean you haven't started your homework at all?

"Due to the recent personnel transfer of the relevant designers, the design of the museum ship for the Saratoga has been put on hold." The naval captain simply admitted that he did not bring anything with him this time. "But we have the drawings of Saratoga when it was built. If necessary, I will bring it to you as soon as possible."

As a hull developed since World War I, compared to the current aircraft carrier, Saratoga has long been an outdated product. There is no modification design drawing, so it is not impossible to directly give her the construction drawing for emergency.

"Well, I don't blame you for anything. Please give me the construction drawings of the Saratoga as soon as possible." It's really meaningless to embarrass a lieutenant commander. Griffin suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and forced his face to rise. A smile of understanding.However, the playfulness in her eyes is believed to be understood by the other party. "Indeed, as Minister Forrest predicted, the construction company really needs an order to show its business capabilities, so as to better survive and develop in the local competitive environment. Refitting the USS Saratoga Museum Ship It is a very appropriate opportunity, the Navy has a heart, and I am very happy to accept such kindness."

If you can express this kindness more sincerely... even if it is just a compliment, I will say it more sincerely.

"It would be great if you are willing to accept it. Thank you for helping the navy again." The major also breathed a sigh of relief.Leaving aside what the other party was thinking, her willingness to take over the job showed her attitude. "Some things involve confidentiality regulations, so I can't say more...Thank you again for your understanding. I will visit again within a week, and I will bring the drawings and the contract together."

If the Saratoga stays in the dock for one more day, they will have to pay an extra day's rental fee for it, which is all money.The new construction company handed over to Griffin is not only a good thing, but also shows that the United States Navy has begun to rush to the hospital.

Even if someone is an outdated aircraft carrier, an outdated aircraft carrier is still an aircraft carrier, and it is also a heavy weapon for a country.Such an important blueprint is just thrown to himself... I don't know what the people in the navy think.

This opportunity cannot be met, and this assist cannot be wasted.

It's just a pity for my sister-in-law's sincere patriotism, maybe she didn't expect that she has become a burden in the eyes of the country and army she loves.

I originally set my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.

Although she knew that this was the easiest time to take the opportunity to enter Saratoga's heart, the girl always felt that she was taking advantage of the danger.Besides, if something really happened between him and his sister-in-law, wouldn't Zeppelin be jealous to death?

The essence of this Mrs. Da Lai Lai is a cosmic-level vinegar jar that can soften people's bones.

Ah, I don't want to be filled with her unwilling thoughts in the days to come.

Watching the car drive away, Howard saw the girl bowed her head in silence, and couldn't help saying, "The navy really cares about you."

"Come on, they just want to save a fortune." The girl hugged her chest angrily.

What kind of confidentiality regulations, it sounds quite bluffing, so I won't be scared.

And if Unlimited Energy Construction Company can successfully remodel Saratoga in a short period of time, maybe they will start thinking about other ideas next time.

For example, my wife's maintenance work.

If I can really get the modification done within a few months, and then the navy applies this technology to the repair of active warships, wouldn't the damage control of the US emperor be against the sky?

You guys, you really want to drag the peace-loving girls into the quagmire of war all the time!

A bunch of bad guys!

Volume 140: [-] Temporary Orders

It's not that Griffin can't understand the behavior of Naval Construction Company's eyeliner if he is not in his position, and it is inevitable.At her position, every move she makes has to be disassembled and analyzed by those who observe her. This treatment is like that of a government leader.

She doesn't want the attention herself, it just leads to trouble.

It's like the performance at the wedding of the American team and Carter last time, not to mention how many people's attention it attracted, but Howard stopped many people for her afterwards.From this incident, Griffin also understood how much he was noticed.So after that, she resolutely chose to retreat behind the scenes, handing over the stage design products such as lighting and sound under the blessing of infinite energy to a special person to manage, and even the authorization of the song from the future was fully delegated to Howard.

Now there are only a few companies that can bypass most of the obstacles and directly find their own interview matters, such as the navy, army and the president.

Although she was unhappy with the navy's flexible way of handling things, she could see that the navy was indeed being suppressed miserably by other services, and even this little money had to be saved.

So, when it's time to be cowardly, you have to be cowardly, guarding so many warships, the maintenance fee alone has to overwhelm people.

Don't expect me to use the space ability to save the warship for you. If I do this, won't you have to stock up most of the weapons and ammunition depots in the future?

I don't care, the key is, are you at ease?

Therefore, Griffin still feels that it is correct to set the rules for prohibiting weapons on ring-type space storage products.

This is probably the most wise thing she has done in her life.

"Then what are you going to do about it?" Howard couldn't help but want to reach out and touch his head with the girl's irritated humming expression.

When I first met her, the child was not as lively as she is now.Even though it's only been a year, this has changed a lot.

"In general, the navy of the United States still has kindness to me. I am a person who pays attention to grievances and grievances. Every time they help me, I have given back the same or more kindness. This time it is a good deal Things changed temporarily, so the other party owed me first, and I chose to help them in order to make the other party owe me favors."

The relationship between Germany and the United States is good now, but the brothers also have to settle accounts.

Don't tell me that this is self-deceiving nonsense like taking care of business. It was agreed to turn Saratoga into a museum ship but it was not fulfilled, and the modification fee was used for other purposes without authorization. This is breaking the promise.I will not accept your favors, you owe me.

If it weren't for the modification work on the Enterprise, maybe the navy would push her to itself.

It was also the first time for her to refit a museum ship, and her time was limited. She might not be able to solve the problem by herself, so she had to seek advice from professionals who knew how to do it.

So the girl began to play to her advantage.She blinked her bright eyes and looked sincerely. "I need to go on a field trip. Uncle, can you make an appointment for an expert in the design department who is free?"

After all, she just said not to interfere, and it's only been a few hours, and she has to change her mind temporarily, and it's not easy for her to do such a thing of the day and night.

"When did I become your secretary?" Howard spread his hands.Xin Dao said that this kid is going to use me as a shield again, although he knows this in his heart, but he just can't resist.It can only be said that this child understands more and more. "Let me ask who is free for you. After all, I used the excuse of 'designing the United Nations building' when they joined, and now they suddenly have to do something else first, and it's just a museum ship. I'm afraid it's hard to explain the modification work."

These days, everyone with a little bit of ability has a temper, but it is easy for these big bosses to feel that they have been underestimated.Anyone with a discerning eye can see the importance of the United Nations building and a museum ship.

"Killing chickens with a sledgehammer, cannons to kill mosquitoes, let alone you, I also think it is overkill to trouble those world-class architects for this matter." Griffin also thought of Howard's concerns. "But there are specialties in the technical industry, and there will always be talents who can be used in such a large design department."

So don't go looking for those big names, and try your luck with the newbies in the middle and lower levels.

Howard got an assistant and asked him to relay the opinion for himself.Sure enough, when the assistant told the news to many architects in the design department, most of them showed no interest.Even those who are just newcomers in the construction industry are not interested in refitting a museum ship.Being able to participate in the construction of the United Nations Headquarters, whether it is listening to the analysis and comments of long-established architectural leaders, or just following the team as a minion, even if you can show your face in a group photo, you will not do it in the future There is also bragging capital in this business.

Moreover, we are here to learn how to build buildings, and the refitting of warships is also not professional.

If it was a time when there was no business, maybe they would go to the field to gain experience. Now that the construction of the United Nations Headquarters is such a major project, how can they care about other petty profits?

Among the participants, the middle-aged man with round glasses was also silent.He attaches great importance to the construction project of the United Nations headquarters, but at the same time, he does not want to just give up the opportunity to visit an aircraft carrier up close.

Warships are the treasure that every country with a coastline desires, and it is precisely because of this that he feels deep pain when the Japanese invaders blocked supplies along the coast.If China can have a strong navy, even if the size is only a squadron of the United States, it will not make the Japanese rampant for so many years.

Compared with the indifference of other colleagues, he was indeed interested.It's just that his current status is not suitable for direct participation, so after a little thought, he broke the silent atmosphere in the conference room.

"When is the field trip?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's attention was focused on him.Facing the gaze mixed with various eyes and meanings, he sat upright with his usual expression.

The assistant is worried that the task assigned by the superior has not been completed, and when someone is interested, it doesn't matter what nationality or identity the other party is.Regardless of what the other party is thinking, being willing to speak up at this time is obviously his savior.

So the assistant said: "The departure time is set at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

The middle-aged man thought for a while and gave an answer: "I happen to have some time tomorrow, even if it doesn't work, it's okay to visit."

As a Chinese, his status in the architectural field is not low. He was not only employed as a professor at Yale University, but also an honorary Doctor of Letters at Princeton University.For a museum ship, willing to go to the scene in person is already giving face, even if things fail in the end, no one will say anything.

Volume 141: [-] modification team

"Liang, are you interested in museum ship modification?" Gropius asked with a smile.

"Of course I don't have much interest. Converting a ship into a building is not the same as building directly on land. If they want, I can try the retro style." The middle-aged man said half-jokingly. "But I have a more suitable candidate. We are alumni of different periods. He is very talented. He is an assistant professor at Harvard University when he is less than 30 years old, and his graduation work is related to the museum. At present, this is not the right time. Are you on?"

This master architect from Germany is old-hearted. Although he has already guessed the candidate, he still cooperates with the performance of his peers in a timely manner. "Oh, my partner, you said he was so good, it seems that I should know him too, what's his name?"

"IM Pei, nice to meet you."

Looking at the smiling, squinty-eyed, festive-looking young man with a big nose, Griffin was a little dazed, feeling a little unreal.

Is this the first historical figure I have seen?

Suppressing the excitement of seeing a celebrity, she reached out and shook his hand.

"Griffin Zeppelin." The girl smiled.

"Haha, I know I know." The other party nodded cheerfully.

Although he didn't know what this man was enjoying, Griffin didn't care about it.For some reason, seeing him laughing made me want to laugh for no reason.

Happiness is indeed contagious.Even happiness for no reason.

Is this a superpower?

"Pfft...cough." Suppressing the joy that was about to surge up, the girl looked away and looked at another man with round glasses who came with him. "Thank you very much, Mr. Liang, for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here. If we can get your advice on the modification of the museum ship, I believe we will benefit a lot."

She has long admired Liang Sicheng, one of the five great masters of Chinese architecture.

"I might not be able to intervene in the project of converting a warship into a museum, so I brought in more professional people." Liang said, gesturing to the juniors around him, with a gentlemanly demeanor in his conversation.

He is more obsessed with maintaining and revitalizing ancient buildings than modern ones.

"Huh? What did she speak just now in Chinese?" At this moment, Bei realized it later.Even if those squinted eyes are opened wide, it feels like squinting.He looked at the girl and nodded again and again, talking and laughing: "Oh, you speak Chinese very well. From the accent, it should be Mandarin in the south?"

He and his wife Lu Shuhua often communicate with each other in local dialect, just to compare who speaks more authentically. This kind of unique couple's love is difficult for ordinary people to get.

To put it bluntly, he can easily distinguish dialects.

So Griffin deliberately emphasized the pronunciation, saying: "I can also speak northern Mandarin. Of course, Suzhou area is also fine."

"Oh, in this way, the communication will be completely barrier-free." I.M. Pei was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately clapped his hands, and a resonant smile appeared on his face. "It really makes me happy to meet such a foreign friend who speaks Chinese so fluently in a foreign country. Nice to meet you, little girl."

Oops, I can't stretch myself...

"Is Mr. Bei sure to complete the project within the time limit?"

"Time is a bit tight, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Mr. Big Nose smiled confidently: "Girl, you may not know that my graduation project is a museum. In other words, this is my strong point!"

"Then it's not too late. Let's board the ship immediately. Whether the ship can be refitted or not depends entirely on Mr. Bei."

"Haha, okay, there's no problem." The young man with the big nose nodded repeatedly.

The girl's cheeks bulged and bulged, and finally forcibly suppressed the gushing laughter. This desire to follow Shale for no reason is really staggering.She turned her eyes to Saratoga behind her. The aircraft carrier, which has unloaded most of its weapons, was lying in the dry dock at this time, surrounded by messy equipment, most of which were bodies that had not yet been transported away. part.

Coupled with the refitting factory with no one in the sky above, a kind of indescribable desolation wandered in the sky with the sea breeze.

After all, it is also a famous ship of the generation, how come it has fallen to such an extent?

Seeing his sister-in-law's situation, Griffin wanted to laugh but couldn't.

It's not that Saratoga doesn't have their communication channel, it's not that they can't communicate, if they need help, it's just a matter of one word, but she didn't do that, and even Zeppelin didn't know that the other party's situation would be so bad.

Standing in front of the boarding ladder, Griffin put his hands on his hips, took a deep breath, and began to communicate with his sister-in-law's ship spirit with his thoughts.

[Saratoga, I'm coming up. 】
