Rise

? The old man is extremely well-dressed, wearing a straight gray flannel suit without any wrinkles. He has a neat handkerchief in his breast pocket, a bowler hat on his head, and a black cane in his hand. He has a hooked nose and a pair of eyes with a sharp and solemn light. When he looks around, he seems to have a majestic aura that has been in a high position for a long time.

As the old man walked in, all the legends in front of the long table in the conference room stood up from their seats and bowed slightly to the old man:

"Sir Martin."

Such a scene is almost extremely rare.

Because looking at the entire professional e-sports circle in the world, there may not be more than five people who are qualified to be treated so solemnly and courteously by these legendary powerhouses of previous generations.

But the old man in front of him was undoubtedly one of them.

Martin Bode.

One of the three vice-presidents of the World Electrical Association Headquarters.

The executive vice president in charge of the system and charter, the drafter of the general charter of professional e-sports, is also the oldest and most senior person in the World Electronics Association. Even among the three vice presidents at the headquarters, he ranks first in terms of reputation and real reputation. The second person after the Chairman of the World Electricity Association.

Of course, in fact, based on the status and qualifications of the several honorary consultants of the World Electricity Association at the conference table, they are almost equal to those of the three vice presidents, not much different.

So this kind of bowing is more of a kind of respect.

I respect the old man in front of me for his hard work and achievements in professional e-sports.

Facing the greetings from the legends of previous generations, the elderly Vice Chairman of the World Electricity Association had a calm expression. He just reached out and took off the top hat on his head and placed it in front of his belly. He also bowed slightly in greeting:

"Gentlemen--"

As he spoke, Martin's eyes swept over and fell on No. 5, who was extremely beautiful and eye-catching among all the people:

"And...ma'am."

No. 5 made a slight gesture of raising the hem of her skirt, bowed gracefully with a slight kneel, and greeted with a smile:

"Sir Martin, long time no see."

Looking at number five,

The old man, who is the executive vice-president of the World Electric Association, had a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and the originally rigid and serious expression on his face finally relaxed a little. He nodded, and then turned his eyes to the side and saw No. 4, who also smiled. Nodding slightly, he spoke equally respectfully and politely:

"Your Mightiness."

Martin nodded and said "Yeah":

"Your Excellency 004."

"I received the most recent annual report from the North American Electrical Association Division."

"Well done."

Number 4 smiled:

"It is an honor for our North American branch to be recognized by the headquarters, but... it is also what we should do."

Even more satisfied with the respectful and humble attitude of No. 4, Martin showed a smile for the first time on his face: "There is no need to be humble. There are not many among the younger generation who can have such a serious and rigorous style of work. When we old guys retire, , the future position... still needs an outstanding person like you, Mr. 004, to take over the responsibility. "

This is almost the highest level of praise and praise.

Even some of the information revealed in the words that was not deliberately concealed is already shocking enough.

So after hearing this sentence, all the legends present could not help but be slightly shocked and looked at No. 4 with a bit more vigilance. Li Dozai's eyes turned slightly cold and said nothing, while Crow lowered his head and eyes. The deep light in his pupils flickered.

Immediately, Martin's eyes swept over the other people present, and he briefly greeted them one by one:

"Sir Crow."

"Your Excellency Daozai."

"Sir Bullet."

When receiving such greetings, the expression on the face of the old executive vice-chairman of the World Electricity Association also returned to its original serious and dull stereotype, meticulous, but the other legends present did not dare to act appropriately one after another without any hesitation. respond.

finally.

After one lap.

Martin's eyes fell on the last one.

And it was clear that the person who was closest to him when he entered the conference room was this person, but somehow, intentionally or not, the old man put it at the end.

No. 1 coughed, raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him, showing a smile that made people feel like spring breeze:

"Sir Martin, long time no see——"

As the chief of the Honorary Advisory Group of the World Electricity Association, his status is even slightly higher than that of the three vice-chairmen of the World Electricity Association Headquarters. Even in the face of this highly respected executive who holds real power, he does not make any concessions or even needs others. Solemn courtesy——

But for No. 1's greeting with a smile, the smile on the old man's face completely disappeared. He was even more serious and indifferent than before. He just nodded very simply and spoke in a rigid tone:

"Sir 001."

Although it seems that there is no fault in the tribute.

But one can clearly hear the alienation in it.

Number Three's eyelids twitched slightly.

Bullet next to him took a deep look at No. 1 and Martin.

Crow at the end of the long table on the other side seemed to turn a deaf ear, while Shield, Arrow and Ghost behind him all had expressions on their faces that looked like they were watching the show.

And No. 5 and No. 4 here looked at each other and saw the faint worry in each other's eyes.

…

Chu Fangnan drove the car quickly on the streets heading to the center of Manchester City.

The cell phone rings.

Connected.

Open to the public.

The calm voice of Fang Hao, the director of the Shanghai Electrical and Electronics Association in China, came from the car's Bluetooth speaker: "Anan, where are you?"

Chu Fangnan, who was holding the steering wheel, quickly replied:

"On the way."

"It will probably take a while to arrive - things were delayed a bit earlier, and I didn't make it in time to leave with No. 1 and the others."

Fang Hao on the other end of the phone paused:

"It's okay, don't be in a hurry, just take your time."

"The matters over there... are left to No. 1 and the others, no problem."

Chu Fangnan smiled bitterly upon hearing this; "That's what they said, and I believe them, but after all... I still can't feel at ease."

Fang Hao on the other end of the phone seemed to shake his head:

"You're worrying too much."

"Vice Chairman Martin of the World Electrical Association Headquarters is highly respected in our Electrical Association system. He is a figure that even the chairman of the headquarters respects him. He may be a little unkind in character, but he is still meticulous in handling official matters. There has never been an accident, nothing to worry about.”

These words coming from Fang Hao's mouth should indeed have enough credibility and comforting effect.

But even after hearing such a comforting explanation, Chu Fangnan was still a little uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully considered his words and spoke:

"Brother Fang, I heard before..."

"Your Excellency Martin, it seems that he and No. 1 had some unpleasantness back then. "

"Is this...is it true?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.

Chu Fangnan subconsciously held his breath and waited nervously.

Finally, Fang Hao's voice slowly sounded again:

"Um."

"That's true."

When these words came out, one could clearly hear the helplessness expressed by the president of the Shanghai Electric Power Association on the other end of the phone, which he could hardly conceal.
