Chapter 681
“So just speak up and don’t hold back.”
Zander poured Harry a glass of water and sat down on the couch.
They had little contact these days to keep a low profile
Harry must have something to say if he purposely came here to see Zander
“Brother Zander, I…
“I don’t think I’m cut out for this.
“I won’t back down if you asked me to go out and kill the enemy, but I’m not comfortable being the general manager.
“Look at this suit. It’s not as comfortable as my camo clothing ”
Harry pulled at his fancy suit, his tone a little bitter
“The business world is just like a war zone. It’s pretty much the same thing.
Zander shook his head slightly, unable to suppress his smile
It indeed bothered Harry.
“Pretty much?”
“You have no idea how confused I was when they showed me financial statements and proposals.
Harry picked up his coffee cup and took a sip, sounding even more resentful.
“That’s why I hired Qamar.
“He has a clean background and was a soldier. He once started his own company, but his opponent tricked him and made his capital chain rupture, causing him to go bankrupt.
“He knows more about all things business than any of us. I hired him to help you.
“Over time, you can give him full control of the company when we trust him enough.
“We’ll never have the risk of a ruptured capital chain here so he can give it a go.
“You can relax by then.”
Zander put down his coffee cup after he finished speaking to Harry.
He and Harry were friends in River City, so there was no such thing as manner and status.
“Alright.”
Harry nodded and had to accept.
However, Harry took another sip of his coffee, moved his mouth, and went on saying, ” Brother Zander, I don’t understand. We…
Instead of answering Harry’s question right away, Zander pointed out the window.
Brother Sean had plans, of course.
“But before I answer your question, look at that tree.”
Zander pointed at a tree not far from the window, with a flock of sparrows standing on its branches.
“Do you know why sparrows aren’t worried that the branch will suddenly break when they are jumping about on it?”
Harry was stunned by Zander’s question.
“They don’t believe in the strength of the branches but their own wings.”
Zander slowly withdrew his gaze, and Harry gradually saw the light when he heard that.
“You have to be tough to forge iron. It is better to seek oneself than to seek others.”
With that said, Zander paused slightly for two seconds and asked again, “Who do you think Commander can seek now? Who would let him seek them?”
Harry could not answer the question.
“Let me ask you again. What keeps a nation running?”
Zander picked up the coffee pot and asked again.
