After dinner, Elliot grabbed Wayne and Chris into the study to accompany the matter.

"You both have grown up so old, it's time to take on family responsibilities, so start by participating in the internal meeting." He said strictly.

However, Chris didn't take his trick at all, and immediately started to hum: "Will you just want to let Wien go to participate..."

"I still have to be busy with publishing houses. I have to draw, read books, and complete homework every day. How can I have so much time?" she complained.

Wien knew that she probably didn't want to have a meeting together.

When dealing with family internal affairs, Elliot would not let Chris do whatever he had done. Most of the things he had made up for had their ideas, and others had no room for opposition.

As a result, the two people in charge of attending the meeting could only serve tea and water, and take notes in a daze.

——Maybe if you don’t listen carefully, you will be criticized.

Not to mention that Chris didn't want to participate, even Wien was not very interested.

"No! Must participate!" Elliot, who has always been easy to talk to, was particularly unkind today.

"Only by managing the family well, you have enough energy to manage those side jobs. The most basic primary and secondary must be clearly distinguished."

After forcibly suppressing Chris' protest, Elliot turned his face and said to Vayne: "Vayne, you are responsible for staring at Chris well, and don't let her be lazy!"

"...Okay." Wien agreed.

It would be a bit difficult to ask me to report it.

From the corner of my eyes, I glanced at Chris' expression, and indeed, unexpectedly, I found that her little mouth was so pouting that it was so good that she could hang a soy sauce bottle.

Wien secretly winked at her and expressed her loyalty.

When Chris received his wink, he suddenly wanted to laugh a little but held back.

The two sat next to each other at the end of the conference table, quietly observing Elliott to meet with subordinates in charge of different positions one by one.

Faced with different closeness, Elliot's attitudes showed different. Even those who came to report on their work, even if they noticed the existence of Chris and Wien, basically all chose to ignore it.

.

After the separate private talks, a new round of collective meetings will follow.

It took about two hours to deal with these things before finally coming to an end. Chris next to him was already in a state of ease.

Watching the last subordinate leave the study, Duke Elliott stretched tiredly: "Today's matter is handled faster..."

"Oh my God!" Chris couldn't hold back, "Is this faster?"

"certainly."

Elliot said in accustomed to it: "If there is a very urgent emergency, it is possible to go out for a whole night of negotiations."

Hearing these words, Chris fell asleep.

"This kind of thing... I'll leave it to Wien next time." She lay on the table and said weakly, "As long as one of us comes forward, you can just let Wien deal with it in the future.

”

Elliot frowned and seemed to want to open his mouth to say something, but eventually swallowed it again.

"You can't count on Vien in everything, what if he can't get the time?" he whispered.

"Then just drag it first and do it when he has time!"

Perhaps even she thought it was a bit outrageous to say this. Chris paused and chuckled embarrassedly.

"...ah." Elliot couldn't help but sighed in disappointment.

"You, that's what you have been since childhood."

He glanced at Chris's expression of guilt and anxiety, and then on Duke Elliot's face. Wien said softly: "If Chris can concentrate on doing what she is interested in, it will be very good."

Is it good?"

"When Chris's plan is fully formed, it will not be inferior to other industries in the family at present."

Elliot's hand unconsciously hit the tabletop, without saying a word for a moment.

With support from Wien, Chris immediately had the courage to argue for herself.

"Yes, it's true that Wien knows my ambition!"

She praised Haikou with confidence: "As long as I complete my media business empire, I, Chris Winchet! It's this uncrowned king of Lornes! ~"

Elliot suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Chris's face.

"What did you say just now?"

The too sharp vision was as aggressive as a blade.

Chris was frightened by the sudden reaction of his always gentle father, and was stunned: "I mean... I will definitely make a lot of money by then."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.

After looking at Chris for a while, Elliot breathed a sigh of relief as if he was discouraged.

"You go out first, Wien stay and chat with me for a while."

Chris was a little at a loss. He looked at his father in confusion, and then turned toward Wien.

Wien nodded at her, telling her not to worry.

"Chris, go back to your room first, I'll go find you later." He comforted.

Seeing that his father still had no reaction, Chris had to snort, and stood up and went out with some anger.

So, only Duke Elliot and Wien were left in the study.

After a moment of silence, Elliot raised one hand and held his forehead, sighing distressedly: "Sometimes I don't know if it's better to say she is naive or ignorant."

Wien did not follow him to accuse Chris.

He understood that Elliot just wanted to be a listener now.

"Wealth, power... these things look good." He murmured, "But what can really support us to enjoy these things is [power]!"

Elliot never showed his loss of Chris' lack of strength.

But if he doesn't say it doesn't mean he really doesn't care.

As the great duke of the Kingdom of Lornes, he can certainly protect his daughter from worry-free life when he is alive, but what if he dies?

——How should Chris, who is of noble origin but weak power, protect her property, power, and even her life if she dies?

Whenever I think of this question, Elliot Winchet will toss and turn and cannot sleep at night.

In order to better protect his family, he made a lot of preparations.

Those who are extremely useful in advance and have now become chess, and he doesn't care much about the gains and losses of time and place.

But the mistakes he had encountered in the past were not as serious or destructive as the one sitting in front of him now!

He originally wanted to observe how good seedlings could develop and use this child as bait to catch fish.
