"I'm going to do my internship …"
Anna also directly stated her reason for coming here. "I don't plan to start a business for the time being. I want to really get in touch with these things."
"I know it's around me, and I often see it, but in fact, I haven't really done it. I want to get closer to some high-end card games!"
She didn't directly say that she wanted to get in touch with more high-end financial and capital operations, but instead, she used the word "card games" instead.
Many capitalists also liked to play cards. They liked to play the game called "payment". They might only be able to play a few games in an afternoon, but they liked to play.
Therefore, sometimes people would also call high-end capital operations a "card game".
In the eyes of those capitalists, it was a card game, a card game that didn't matter if they won or lost.
Lynch didn't immediately agree or refuse. Instead, he asked Mr. Patu. "I thought you would choose to work for Mr. Patu. He's at a higher level than me."
Anna was silent for a while. She actually had a lot of excuses to deceive him, but she also knew that she might not be able to make Lynch really believe her, so she decided to tell the truth.
"That's very difficult. Although he's my father, you know, in a family like ours …"
There was a faint sarcastic smile on her face. "… we're not as easy as those people outside think."
"Sometimes, I'm very jealous of Sevillera!"
She didn't use a relatively mild word like envy. Instead, she used the most direct word, jealousy!
In the Federation, Gevra, and even the entire world, "jealousy" was definitely not a good word. It was often associated with words like malice.
A woman, a woman in the upper class, could admit that she was ugly, but she would never admit that she was a jealous person.
This word was really scary!
However, she did not hesitate to say it out loud.
"People have been comparing me with Sevillera, but do you know?"
"There's no point in comparing us. She's Mr. Vaudric's only daughter. She's the real princess!"
"No matter what she does or doesn't do, she will inherit Mr. Vaudric's unimaginable wealth and her mother's."
"No matter what ridiculous things she wants to do, Mr. Vaudric will support her without hesitation!"
"And I have always been deeply jealous of her."
"The Agincourt Family is a very large family. I have about …" Anna seemed to be thinking. "About twenty or thirty brothers and sisters of the same age. These people all have the power to inherit the position of the head of the family."
"We are competing, guarding against each other, and attacking each other. Because there are too many of us, the family can't support our every action unconditionally. Therefore, each of us only has one chance!"
At this time, the little maid came over with drinks. Anna glanced at her. Although she inexplicably disliked the little maid, she still said "thank you" for Lynch's face.
Holding the cup, he took a small sip and calmed the waves in his heart.
After about ten seconds, her tone gradually calmed down. "If my first business fails, I will lose the right to inherit the family forever."
"I will get maybe one ten-thousandth to one hundred-thousandth of the family's shares. I will get tens of thousands of yuan every year. Then, I will find an ordinary job in the company of my successful brothers and sisters, marry an ordinary person, and have an ordinary child."
"Thirty years later, I may still have to worry about paying the bills, all because my first business fails!"
"So I hope to learn something about this before I try to start a business."
Lynch listened carefully. Maybe this was not everything about the Agincourt Family, but at least a lot of it was true.
He knew how fierce the Guevra nobles were when they fought for the right to inherit the family. For example, the current emperor of Guevra was a "bastard".
He killed everyone who thought he was a bastard, and then he became the rightful heir.
In the Federation, in big families like the Agincourt Family, and in big families like the Duncan Family, the competition was still cruel.
If you failed, you would lose the opportunity forever, and you would even be stepped on by others.
The bigger the family, the more this was the case, because power was too tempting!
And this also ensured that the final heir of a family must be a very outstanding person.
Not only did the heir have a keen business sense, but he also had a genius business mind, and was proficient in conspiracy and tricks. His heart was also black and ruthless enough!
These seemingly negative comments would become praises and compliments for the identity of the family's heir!
Anna only had one chance, so she could not act rashly.
As for following Mr. Patu as an "intern"?
That was impossible. Mr. Patu would not take a rookie with him, and at the same time, he would not do something that could easily be "misunderstood".
Everyone was secretly fighting for the position of the successor. If anyone could stay by Mr. Patu's side, it would create a misconception — — this b * tch was already decided!
If this person was the best in all aspects, it would be fine, but if this person was a good-for-nothing, the excellent competition mechanism would be broken!
So in any case, Mr. Patu would not allow anyone to get too close to him before the competition for the next generation of the family leader was decided.
Even if she was his own daughter, he wouldn't allow it!
Large families, financial groups, and tycoons all had their own methods of inheritance. Perhaps these methods were ugly and unreasonable, but this was their way of survival.
Their success over the past two hundred years made them more and more convinced that their choice was the most correct one!
"You're seeking outside help."
Lynch's reaction was very fast, which made Anna's expression slightly awkward.
She was about to explain something, but Lynch beat her to it. "You're right, you're too immature. If I were you, I wouldn't feel awkward, because what I seek is not comfort, but power, wealth, and status!"
Lynch crossed his legs and rubbed his fingers. He was considering whether to agree to Anna's request.
If she came, what could she do, what would she do, and what would she do?
This was the question!
And the final question, what would he get if he accepted this request?
Without a doubt, the competition for the next generation of the Agincourt family leader had already broken out, and they were all looking for outside help.
He even believed that during this period of time, topics such as "the outstanding young people of the Agincourt family" would start to appear more frequently.
Those young people who wandered in high-end social occasions and attended banquets of the rich would become the target of people's attention.
They were actually like birds in a state of heat, crazily showing off their beautiful side, hoping that Mr. Patu would choose them.
It was very interesting. From this point of view, even though humans had entered a civilized society, the things in their bones had not been washed away.
They even had some nice names —
Showing off, vanity …
And all of these were just instincts.
Anna wanted to win, but she also needed outside help. Lynch was this outside help, and he was also the only one she could think of, the most practical and the most valuable outside help.
The girl tried her best to make herself look … not nervous. She just sat there calmly. It seemed that whether Lynch agreed or not, it would not change her mood.
That was if her knuckles did not turn white from holding the cup.
It was understandable. After all, this would determine her future.
"The internship salary is very low …"
Anna's eyes suddenly curved into crescents. Her calmness just now was in vain. She tilted her head. "It's okay, I can pay you!"
This sentence was a bit ambiguous. It could be seen as the result of a girl's emotional indulgence when she got the result she wanted.
This … was quite normal. Lynch did not feel that there was anything wrong with it, and he did not feel that it was a blatant hint.
"Just right. You can start as an intern assistant."
Lynch began to arrange work for her. At the same time, he thought of the previous assistant — a little girl named Helen.
After a certain incident last year, Lynch did not continue to renew the contract with this little girl. There were many reasons, and he would not go into detail one by one.
Sometimes, it was not that opportunities were not given to ordinary people from the bottom, but that even if they were given, they could not grasp them.
It was like someone telling you that as long as you could take out 100 million yuan in three days, there would be an absolutely profitable business waiting for you.
It could even be said that as long as you took out 100 million yuan to deposit in the bank, they would be able to transfer 200 million yuan to your account. But could you take it out?
Helen was too ordinary. Sometimes, Lynch could be a little naive. In the end, she failed. She could not organize Lynch's life and work in a very organized way. Her vision, her ability, and the things she had come into contact with were all limiting her performance.
In the end, Lynch gave her three months' salary and let her leave without even seeing her face.
Perhaps this time, she would perform better.
Anna was very serious about the various itineraries, arrangements, and responses. She even took notes. When Lynch finished giving instructions, more than an hour had passed.
She looked at the things recorded in her notebook in surprise and could not help but ask, "Who usually manages these things?"
She had never seen Lynch's assistant before. She thought that there was no one, but now that she saw these things, she felt that she had never seen them before.
Lynch laughed and said that it was nothing. He just casually jotted it down.
Seeing that it was getting late, Anna did not intend to leave immediately.
She did not hesitate for too long and made a decision. "I want to live here!"
Meeting Lynch's surprised gaze, she blushed slightly. "This is the only way I can cooperate with your work at all times. I don't want to be 'rejected' halfway. I was hoping that you would write a better review letter for me!"
She shrugged, pretending to be relaxed. "It's all for work!"
