第12章 最后的会议
因为安琪儿成为了会议的主导,致使安德烈这个主导者的权力被安琪儿完全架空。而且,这也是所有的元老级别的人物共同商议的结果。看着安琪儿,安德烈的脸色很是阴沉,他不明白,为什么这些人会把自己的权力架空,难道就是为了溜须拍马吗?
这已经是安德烈摔了的不知道第几个茶杯了,听到爱丽丝调侃似的要他去开会,安德烈顿时就压不住自己的脾气了:“Why can she use an excuse to evade it, and now when she talks about taking power, no one opposes it?(凭什么她可以借故推脱,现在说拿权的时候,却没人反对?)”
旁边的跟班心想:你倒是说得轻巧,人家当时说的就是不参与你的计划,所以从始至终都是你一个人在忙乱,结果呢,却是事事欠缺考虑,最终让人家坐收渔翁之利,白白把你做好的菜全盘接收了。
更何况,安德烈最大的问题就是不为别人考虑,不计后果。而安琪儿却完美的处理好了一切,尤其是在提出让高层外出避难,以免发生不测,导致所有人都成为陪葬品的建议,隶时成为最大的选票,就是冲着安琪儿为他们的考虑,这张票就不能投给只为了权力而来的安德烈。
因为安琪儿是众望所归,所以这次,养父就让安琪儿全权负责此事,加上安德烈最近的表现确实不尽人意,为了不让他添乱,都在考虑要不要把他一起带走,以免让他干扰安琪儿的计划。
安琪儿听到养父的话,轻轻摇摇头:“It is not appropriate to let him go, not to mention that I need the cooperation of the people arranged by him. If he leaves, maybe something out of control will happen after that.So it's relatively best for him to stay.(让他走不合适,更何况我还需要他安排的人进行配合,如果他走了,说不定之后会发生什么不可收拾的事情。所以他留下相对来说是最好的。)”
安琪儿压根就不相信安德烈所谓的诚意,更何况是现在,以他的能力,很容易就能斗倒霍华德,成为这个组织的统领,未来,必然会对她的亲信采取非常手段,甚至连养父都会被架空、软禁起来。
养父听了她的话,随即点点头,有些感慨道:“I thought that no matter how capable you are, you are still a girl. If there is anything you can do, you still need someone to help you.But now it seems that women are not allowed to have eyebrows, and even I may not be as thoughtful as you think.OK, it's up to you to arrange the next thing, and I'll do it according to your request.(我本来觉得你再能干,也是一个女孩子,有什么事情还是需要有人来帮你。但是现在看来,巾帼不让须眉,甚至是我都很有可能不如你考虑的周全。好,接下来的事情就由你来安排,我也按照你的要求来办。)”
“Thanks Dad!(谢谢爸爸!)”
养父看着他,轻轻点点头,对安琪儿,他很满意。爱丽丝来汇报说人都到齐了,爱丽丝才陪着养父,三人一起到了会场。
“Everyone is here, so let's start the meeting.(大家都到了,那就开始开会吧!)”说完这句话,养父在安琪儿的搀扶下坐在了主位,会场隶时安静了下来,一个个都正襟危坐。
养父扫了会场一眼,然后继而说道:“At the last meeting, Angel's suggestion was to the point, so at this meeting, I handed over the power of the meeting to Angel and asked her to make arrangements for the rest of the meeting.In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to announce that Angel will take over my job in the next place.(上一次会议,安琪儿的建议得到了大家的中肯,所以这次会议,我把会议权交给了安琪儿,让她对接下的事宜进行安排。另外,我也借此宣布,安琪儿将在接下来接替我的工作,坐上这把交椅。)”说着,养父站了起来,轻轻拍拍自己的椅子,笑着看着安琪儿,“Come on, kid.You deserve it.(来吧,孩子。你实至名归。)”
所有人都轻轻点点头,看着安琪儿,似乎是希望她可以接受。安琪儿没有推脱,向众人道了谢,便和养父对换了位置。
坐在那里,她自然而然看着远处的安德烈,心中不由得冷笑一声,随即说道:“Before coming, my father wanted Andre to be the first member to leave with him, but Andre was the executor and chief planner of the plan, so I advised my father to let him stay first to help me carry out the plan in an all-round way.Although Andre was Uncle Ivan's only son, under such circumstances, everything had to be taken into account, so I had to advise my father to let him leave later.Andre, is everything all right?(之前在来之前,爸爸希望让安德烈和他一起作为第一批离开的成员,但是安德烈是这次计划的执行者和总策划人,所以我建议爸爸让他先留下,辅助我全面开展计划。虽然安德烈是伊万伯父的唯一一个儿子,但是在这样一种情况下,一切都要以大局为重,所以我不得不建议父亲让他稍晚些离开。安德烈,没有问题吧?)”
听到安琪儿亲自点了他的名字,让他多多少少有些意外,不过他很快就反应过来,说道:“No problem.(没有问题。)”
安琪儿似乎是很满意地点点头,说道:“There is nothing we can do to keep everyone out of the limelight for a while.So I hope you can leave as soon as possible and report your location to the headquarters when you get to the place, so that we can get in touch with each other.Where there is life, there is hope.I hope we can tide over this difficulty together and preserve our strength as much as possible.(让大家暂避风头,也是没办法的事情。所以我希望大家可以尽快离开,到了地方以后向总部汇报一下自己的位置,方便我们进行联系。留得青山在,不怕没柴烧。我希望大家可以一起度过这个难关,尽可能的保全我们的实力。)”
这句话得到了大多数人的首肯,安琪儿想了想,想着查缺补漏。旁的人就问道:“Don't you want to go with the people at the top?(高层的人不一起走吗?)”
安琪儿摇摇头,说道:“In fact, I know very well that everyone has actually bought villas in other countries, so there is really no need for this.So it's better to take it as a vacation and adjust your state.(其实,我很清楚,大家其实都在别的国家购置了别墅,所以实在没有这个必要。所以不如当做是度个假,调整调整状态。)”
听到安琪儿的话,所有人都是会心一笑。其实安琪儿说的也是实话,平时大家也都是睁一只眼、闭一只眼,不说罢了。这个时候,安琪儿以一种既往不咎的态度说去度假,可想而知安琪儿的心胸有多大。
