Chapter 334: The Three Imperial Secretaries Take Office? (Ch 334)

After the birthday party, Maria and Lin Chen took a walk in the back garden, followed by Xin Yanzi.

The name Lin Chen gave him was “Xinyanzi” in full and “Xianqigui” in nickname.

The stingy guy was following Lin Chen at this time, waiting for an opportunity to pee on his shoes to prove that his name was correct.

In the window not far away, Pep Guardiola was holding a glass of red wine, looking at the two sweet people in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

Suddenly a black hand was placed on his left shoulder. Barnett was holding milk in his hand. As long as Dolores was around, his alcohol intake would be limited.

“I can guarantee you with my whole life’s character that your daughter is so lucky to have found Lin Chen.”

“I don’t mean whether the two people are compatible, or who is more high-end, worth more or has a better family background.”

“What I mean is that in this era, there are people like Lin who have a sense of responsibility and are good enough in a certain field, while being neither humble nor overbearing and treating people sincerely.”

“Where can you find young people like this, Guardiola?”

Barnett patted Guardiola and Guardiola nodded. Just from Lin Chen’s performance on the court, he could guess the general idea.

A player who is so responsible on the court, not afraid of difficulties, and always able to burst out with strong fighting spirit even in adversity, will not be a wimp in real life.

“I know. In fact, I admire him very much. He will be a support for Maria.”

“But as a father, I didn’t expect this day to come so soon. Maybe I’m not ready to accept my daughter leaving me!”

Barnett burst out laughing. He didn’t expect Guardiola had thought so far.

“I haven’t left you yet, Guardiola. This is just the beginning. They still have a long way to go, just like you and your wife, and me and Dolores.”

“But guess what, because of us here, I think Lin and Maria will have a better future.”

“We should join hands to create more opportunities and a better life for them. We have the ability to do so!”

Guardiola looked at Barnett in front of him and a strange feeling emerged.

For the first time, he felt that the bastard in front of him was so charming.

“Come on, have a couple more drinks with me, today is a good day!” Guardiola hugged Barnett.

“But you drink milk. I drink a glass of beer, and you drink three glasses of milk.”

“Hey, how can you settle the bill like that? One and a half cups at most!”

“Two cups then.”

“make a deal.”

…

Seeing that Lin Chen’s life off the court was becoming more fulfilling, especially with Maria’s company, Barnett could clearly feel that Lin Chen’s condition was getting better and better.

Not on the court, but off the court.

At the same time, Barnett was also thinking about one thing. He always felt that the cooperative relationship between him and Lin Chen was not as deep as emotionally, and Barnett believed that he and Lin Chen could achieve deeper and better cooperation.

Barnett was thinking. He had been thinking ever since his youngest son frequently came home to make trouble and was driven away by Lin Chen.

Perhaps I should let the agency under my name reach some cooperation with Lin Chen, and let Lin Chen start to enter my agency.

At least let some board members of the agency know Lin Chen’s name and know that they intend to give Lin Chen a higher position in their agency.

At 67 years old this year, Barnett thinks about much more than an adult.

It is unlikely that my youngest son will achieve anything great, at least for now.

Although my eldest daughter has a good personality and is very kind, she has become indecisive because of this. This kind of character prevents her from standing up when the agency needs her.

So on December 31, Maria was watching a movie at Lin Chen’s home, and Barnett arrived with dinner. He had already talked to Lin Chen on the phone.

Dolores and Maria soon began chatting, and Barnett didn’t have to wait long.

After finishing the training at the club, Lin Chen returned home with Rodri at around 4 o’clock. Laura also rushed to Lin Chen’s house, and they started a small dinner party.

Lin Chen wouldn’t eat too much, and he had already had a small meal at the club around 4 o’clock.

Lin Chen has always adhered to the method of eating small meals frequently, eating more meals and eating relatively less at each meal, which is both easy to digest and can promote physical growth.

“Have you ever considered taking a position at my agency?”

Barnett saw Lin Chen suddenly stop cutting the steak and hurriedly spoke again.

“You don’t need to do anything extra, just put up a name, and we can use your name to attract more young players to cooperate with our agency.”

“You know, your influence is so strong in English football now. Countless young players take you as a role model. They will definitely want to sign with my agency like you.”

Although Barnett’s words were very tactful, Lin Chen immediately refused. The reason for his refusal was not other than that he knew why Barnett let him enter his agency.

After dinner, Rodri and Laura went home, Maria and Dolores were enjoying the fresh air on the balcony, leaving only Lin Chen and Barnett sitting in the living room.

“Barnett, I may have misunderstood you, but if I have, I think you should focus on your eldest daughter or youngest son.”

“This is an agency, a agency worth hundreds of billions, you have to think clearly about what you want to do.”

Barnett looked at Lin Chen, and from Lin Chen’s reaction he knew that he had definitely not chosen the wrong person.

“Of course I know that I can create an economic empire by myself, so of course I know what I am doing.”

“Lin, I believe in you. I believe in you very much. That’s why I need you!”

“I’m 67 years old. I have many capable assistants, but they are just assistants.”

“And those old foxes on the board of directors are not good people. If they have the chance one day, they will kick out my designated successor and take my life’s work for themselves. That’s not what I want to see.”

“I know you don’t want to get involved in these things, and you don’t want to see me entrusting you with my life’s work one day in the future.”

“But I hope you understand that I appreciate you, I recognize you, and we are a family.”

“That’s why you should not be too clear with me. You can at least come in first. While I can still work for a few more years, I will first disperse some important powers and concentrate them on people I trust. At least my economic empire will not collapse in an instant.”

Barnett looked at Lin Chen, who nodded after a while.

“I think I should have more contact with Gitana. One day in the future your economic empire will need him.”

Barnett smiled!

“Then it’s a deal. I will set up a brand new department called the Barnett Agency Supervision and Regulatory Department, which will be independent of all other departments.”

“You will serve as the honorary minister. I will also appoint an executive minister, who will be the person I trust the most. The two of you will be jointly responsible for the operation of this department.”

“You don’t need to investigate anything, but your position is equal to that of the Executive Director. This department is responsible for supervising the internal operations of all departments of my agency, including the Finance Department, Management Department, External Propaganda Department, and a series of other important departments. It investigates whether their mechanisms and hierarchical relationships are reasonable, and imposes penalties for any violations.”

“As for salary, we pay it annually, and I will pay you according to the same salary standard as the Executive Minister.”

Lin Chen laughed when he heard this and waved his hand to refuse.

“Forget about the salary. I don’t do anything anyway.”

“Next time you come to my house tonight, remember to bring two more grilled ribs. That’s enough.”

Barnett laughed when he heard this, and he liked the young man in front of him even more!

Barnett laughed, but the heads of other departments in his agency were not laughing at all.

Everyone understood why Barnett set up this department, and the English Economic Times soon announced the news!

“Breaking news!”

The Barnett Economic Empire has established a new supervisory department and appointed Barnett’s personal assistant Lucia as the executive minister and Liverpool midfielder Lin as the honorary minister! 》
