Chapter five hundred and eighty eighth Paul suffering from cancer
"What? How did you get involved with the intelligence agency?"
When chatting about future industrial arrangements and work arrangements, the topic will inevitably involve life. Especially in situations where there are only two people, Carter and Goodman...
Similarly, for this person who has watched him grow up and is said to be a subordinate, but more like a partner or an uncle, Carter did not hide his situation...
Unlike telling Rick about this matter to plan for future development, telling Goodman about it was purely a sharing of his life situation.
"Don't worry, it's not a deep relationship. I know the pros and cons. It's basically a state of limited cooperation now. Regarding the future, I've thought about some situations. In the second half of this RoTC, I plan to turn the voluntary service contract into a contract."
Sign it and serve in the Army for four years after graduation."
"From a practical point of view, after four years of rotation in two places, I should be able to come into contact with a lot of people. In the future, I will get some military orders and so on. If it doesn't work, I will handle the relationship well. When I develop to Columbus in the future, I will say
Maybe it will be useful. To put it simply, it’s just a way to experience life, and four years is not that long anyway!”
"The Army Intelligence and Security Command wants to recruit me, but they want to bind my company and act as a white glove for them. I definitely can't accept this!"
"It's okay if you don't accept this! They really can think of it!"
Goodman was visibly relieved to hear that Carter did not go so far as to nod directly to join the Army Intelligence Agency.
"Experience is experience. I don't think there is any need to think about it so much. Really! We have done enough in the past few years and are tired enough! Look at your list. You, a college student, don't feel it.
How many college students should have a living situation, why should they put a burden on themselves?"
"If we are more conservative in four years, it will not be impossible for us to pass!"
"Harm, who can say for sure about this kind of thing! I can guarantee you now that I was a pure soldier when I was serving. But if I really see a business opportunity, do you think I can bear it? Making money is
It’s addictive!”
Carter smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not give an accurate explanation. Carter did not want to think too much about this future that he could not control or interfere with.
The worst case scenario is just to experience life, it’s not like you can’t resist it, so what else is there to worry about?
The days in Douglas passed day by day. During these days, apart from spending time with his family, occasionally sitting in Mayor Benjamin's office, and meeting old friends, Carter was very quiet for a while.
With the development of Douglas, many people's trajectories have changed:
For example, Cui Farley has now completely closed Douglas's car repair shop, and with his own team of people, they collectively ran to Pearson. He took care of the store wholeheartedly...
Of course, it is the younger guys who look after the store, while Chef Cui himself is bored in the kitchen, tinkering with technology and hard work...
In addition to the closure of the car repair shop, Cui Fali also gave up the leaf business. In his words:
"I'm not stupid! Who can't see the city's drug control posture? Although I am tacitly allowed to sell it now, I don't lack the money, right?"
"The research and development funds given by ht, plus the income from the store, are enough to support myself! In addition, the brothers are not young anymore, and it is time to think about starting a family. How can we think about going out on the streets like before?
Beating and killing..."
Similar to "Don't worry about dancing today, be careful about making lists in the future." Although Cui Fali didn't say it, Carter had already heard it. To be honest, this was a good choice...
Looking at the burly and tattooed waiters in the HT Pearson store, Carter felt a little indescribable relief.
In addition to Cui Fali, the Duke family also moved to Pilsen. Because it is closer to the pine wood production area, they recently spent a lot of money to buy a small lumberyard. The Duke family's small furniture factory has become quite self-produced and sold.
The taste is...
I heard from Uncle Duke that Kazim is currently undergoing an advanced training course for which branch of the infantry at Fort Benning. I can’t say how good it is, but regarding Kazim’s plan, he thinks of working as a driver and part-time bodyguard for Carter after retirement.
, the Duke family is also very satisfied.
For ordinary people, having a stable way out is the greatest happiness!
What's more, the family's financial resources have been stabilized, and the eldest brother's future has been solved. Now the Duke family only needs to consider training Kalim to try to complete the class jump. In other words, life is full of hope!
Douglas, once the top three "imperial businessmen", has lost two of them in just six months. This is a beautiful situation that Carter never imagined. As for the last remaining one, it is only a matter of time to put it away...
At least, when those funds are currently needed for development, this person cannot use them...
After confirming that everything is peaceful here in Douglas, the time is approaching September. Carter is about to return to the north...
But just before leaving, another unexpected thing happened...
"Carter, can you come to Seattle?"
"Bill?!"
Carter was a little surprised. Normally, Bill Gates never took the initiative to talk to him.
Regarding matters related to Microsoft, it is usually reported to him by his own representative; as for so-called friendship, or other aspects, Paul usually calls him.
It's no secret that I don't get along with Gates. Almost all the old employees of Microsoft know this...
"It's me, Paul... he's going to the operating room soon. He wants to see you."
"Tell me the address of the hospital, I...should be there by night!"
Without pretending to ask Paul what was wrong, Carter said simply and neatly after being shocked. Gates also had no ink marks. After giving the address, he hung up the phone directly...
"Hello? Is TBI flight service? Emergency route declaration, Macon to Seattle-Tacoma Airport, the earlier the better! My aircraft registration number is..."
After entrusting the business jet hosting company to declare the route, Carter called home again and informed him. Then, he took two bodyguards and went straight to Macon...
...
...
Even though it was a private plane, it was still the farthest one, flying almost across the entire United States, from the southeast to the northwest.
By the time Carter arrived in Seattle, it was still dark.
Following the address given by Gates, Carter rushed to the hospital, but did not find the two of them in the ward...
"They're waiting for you downstairs by the lake!"
"Thanks!"
After saying this, Carter turned around and came down again, and then...
"Aren't you a patient? Or, it's a joke?!"
Carter couldn't tell whether he should cry or laugh when he saw the two figures standing on a small speedboat...
I deceived myself all the way to Seattle, and what happened?!
"Hey! I was just diagnosed with cancer. I have a tumor called Huo in my body. I was hit by a car or something. I'm going to die soon, okay?!"
After smiling and hugging Carter, Paul smiled happily. He pulled Carter onto the small speedboat, which was a little crowded for the three of them...
"Let's go to the middle of the lake to enjoy the breeze and chat! You don't know, right? Bill's motorboat is pretty good. I've been persuading him to get a yacht pilot's certificate so that we don't need to go boating in the future.
It's a pity that this guy knows how to work every day...it's just..."
