Chapter 65: Heritage and Interviews
"You said, did the president persuade Iger?"
Looking at the back of the old president entering the carriage and rushing towards Chelsea Manor outside the window.
Vice-chairman Victor said to the old assessment officer Von der Leyen not far away with a little worry: "I really can't think of how he can persuade Iger to stay."
"Maybe the president won't persuade it at all."
The old examiner was reading a book at the desk, and he said without raising his head, "It's not like you don't know, the president is more interested in collective strength than individual geniuses."
"Without the leadership of outstanding individuals, the collective is a group of headless flies, or a mob."
The bald Victor denied: "I don't believe the president will not understand this truth."
"But if he really doesn't have the qualifications to keep people, of course the president will not waste his energy."
The old examiner said: "For example, the girl named Fiona two years ago, although the wizard talent is not as good as Iger, but it is also a rare genius, and the comprehension of potions is even more amazing. When recruiting, did you see the president keep it?"
"Who else was there earlier..."
He gave several examples in a row, and he remembered the names very clearly, which shows that these people are not ordinary people.
In fact, although half-blood wizards are generally not qualified, universal does not mean everything.
The base is large, and there will always be a few outstanding geniuses excavated every year.
Although it is not comparable to the top talent of "Iger", it is good enough.
Unfortunately, once these people are exposed, they will basically be recruited by pure-blood families, and it is difficult for the association itself to retain these geniuses.
That's why the old assessor concealed the talent of "Iger" before, so that others would not know about it.
But now, because of what happened last night, this talent has been revealed, so he feels that, according to the usual practice, 80% of this talent will be gone.
He couldn't keep it, so instead of forcibly keeping it, it was better to be a favored man and support his choice in the past, so that he could still have favors.
"But I always feel that the president will change his mind this time." The bald Victor had a different opinion.
"Not to mention, Iger's fortune is very strong. I think if he is there, the association's luck in this regard will become particularly good."
"What fortune?"
Hearing this, the old examiner laughed and said, "That's the reward that Iger risked his life to earn, and he didn't really get it from Kevin."
"Besides, if the president is really the kind of person who cares about money, our association would not have set up a product research and development department for so many years... Look at the meteorological association, it has developed a magic pocket watch that can make money within a few years of its establishment. Could the people in our association be worse than them?"
It seems to be the case...
Victor was quite depressed when he heard the words, but he thought of the look in the president's eyes when he looked at Iger when he was in the living room.
He unconsciously raised a hope.
"A person who can give away 300,000 yuan from his family to his friends is much more worthy of retention than those before."
He said: "The president was also surprised when he heard about this before. I think he was particularly interested in this."
Of course, Victor didn't know that the 300,000 yuan Mellon gave to Arthur was corrupted again last night, and thought that Mellon was "getting the money" and simply using most of his hard-earned assets to do good deeds.
So this matter, in the eyes of him and others, seems very unusual.
"But some things can't be taken seriously by the president—"
The old examiner stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.
It was only because he heard a commotion from the lobby on the first floor outside.
The young wizards in the hall had been talking about what happened last night, and the short pure-blood wizard was the loudest.
But now, they suddenly burst into cheers, and then the sound was a bit messy.
Obviously, one of the parties under discussion had walked out of the living room and was discovered.
However, it didn't take long for all the noise outside to suddenly subside, as if something had caused the enthusiasm of the group of young wizards outside to disappear in an instant.
"What, am I wrong? If you don't think about where to go now, when will you wait?"
The short, pure-blooded voice instantly made the two middle-aged and elderly people in the office understand. They looked at each other with different expressions.
"We had a hot chat with our group of children a moment ago, but now the prototype is revealed."
Victor was very resentful about this, "Look, this is pure blood style, arrogance to the limit!"
…
A lot of pure bloods came to visit today, but most of them just left the invitation letter and left after hearing that Iger had not woken up.
A small number of those who stayed and waited were not many.
After all, the Mixed-Blood Association was very different from last night's banquet venue. The latter was basically pure blood, while the former was full of mixed blood.
Being stared at by this group of "inferior people", even though the purebloods who came to visit were very curious about Meren, they had to consider their own arranging issues, and they unconsciously put on airs.
Therefore, the people in the hall before were mainly young mixed-bloods in the association, supplemented by a few pure-bloods who didn't care about "decent".
However, now, a certain pure-blood disregarded the existence of a large number of mixed-bloods, and openly publicized the fact that "Iger is about to abandon them"...
Although this is actually an upcoming event, many people have thought about it, but it is one thing to think about it, and it is another to say it unceremoniously.
In short, the short pure-blood who kept bragging about Iger's loyalty before, didn't pay attention to the mixed-race peers around him who listened to him, so that he didn't care about their feelings now.
"It's really defiant."
The old examiner also shook his head, "But this isn't exactly what's happening in the wizarding world—"
A louder cry than before interrupted his words, causing the two of them to be startled.
These voices were obviously made by the mixed-race people, and they seemed to have heard something happy, and there were even a few shouts of relief.
"It seems your judgment is wrong."
After listening for a while, the bald Victor winked at the old examiner.
"The president did keep it, and Iger chose to stay."
"I'm relieved that my judgment was wrong."
A little surprised, but the old examiner also showed a smile on his face.
"But since that's the case, then I won't have time to chat with you next."
"What, the president has other arrangements?"
"The president intends to ask Iger to pass on the memory in order to catch up with this year's school season. Of course, this requires me to prepare the relevant ceremonies."
"Inheritance of memory?"
Victor frowned when he heard the words, "Is it sent to that strange ruined library to trade?"
"That's right."
The old examiner nodded, "In this way, Iger can quickly acquire some basic knowledge without spending time learning."
"I always feel that www.wuxiaspot.com is not a normal place."
Victor frowned and said, "Exchange wealth for knowledge, exchange knowledge for wealth... This is like a trick of the devil."
"You think too much, the devils have disappeared for hundreds of years, how could it be related to them."
The old examiner waved his hand and said, "Even if it's related, it can't be hidden from the president's eyes. It's not like you don't know, he is a master in the field of strange things and **** studies."
Hearing this, Victor opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but then his mind moved and hissed to signal silence.
"…What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing him put on an eavesdropping posture and didn't speak for a long time, the old examiner felt a little puzzled.
"What happened outside?"
He is old and somewhat deaf.
"It seems that two intern reporters from the Wizarding Education newspaper came to interview Iger."
Having said that, Victor moved his footsteps and walked out of the office.
"No, I have to keep an eye on it. The pure-blooded reporter loves to belittle our half-bloods. Those two guys can't figure out how to change Iger's words."
…
Things didn't go as he expected.
Because Victor did not know, Mellen was no stranger to reporters and interviews.
He has been writing books since he was a child, and he is even good at using such interviews to set himself up in front of the public, and even create "hot spots".
At the same time, one of the people who came to interview Mellen was actually Melon's "acquaintance"—
The ghost masked girl who came with Alicia at the banquet last night was still swearing on his behalf with a loud voice.
The other reporter was not a complete stranger either.
He is the girl's fiancé.
