Equal Share of the Pie
?
Today, I finally understood why ATL Empire was so powerful and had such a wide range of business projects.
I finally knew why people from all walks of life, including Archie, looked up to thepany.
I didn''t need to think too hard about it.
I was certain that there were still many things As hadn''t exined to me.
When As saw that I was silent, he nced at me and said, "Why aren''t you saying anything? Hmm?"
I looked at him, still thinking about some questions in my mind.
"I''ve said it before. As long as you want to do something, I''ll support you!"
I put down my fork, sounding a little childish as I lowered my voice and asked, "Honey, then... Do we have a lot of money?"
He looked at me with a dumbfounded expression, his white teeth gleaming as he also put down his fork and smiled contentedly. He said, without hesitation, "You could say that we''re very wealthy."
For some reason, that didn''t sound out of ce at all. He looked so handsome as he said that.
I asked mischievously, "Why are you so low-key then?"
We bothughed. He lifted me up and put me on hisp. "You''re only realizing that now? We''re low-key because we own less than half of the mines. My goal is to get an equal share of the pie."
I almost blurted out a curse word.
Wasn''t he being too ambitious? Why didn''t he just aim for the stars instead?
But I couldn''t dampen his enthusiasm!
"Huh? Ah!"
I nodded without reservation and kissed him on the lips. "Keep working hard, then!"
He nodded solemnly. "I''ll definitely achieve our goals."
"Are you serious?"
"Why wouldn''t I be?"
"You should leave some room for those ambitious people who are searching everywhere for wealth." I joked.
"Those who want topete in this field aren''t just ambitious. They''re dangerous too. Most of them are driven by insatiable ambition and greed for money. If they seed, it poses a threat to the country," As said seriously.
He was genuinely concerned about the country, and I truly admired him for it.
Looking at him, I asked earnestly, "And what about you?"
"Economic control is important, but it needs to be built on the right path. I want to control those resources so they can contribute to the country''s development in a positive way.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
As''s words made me look at him
with newfound respect.
I looked at the man in front of me seriously. I had never discussed this with him before, and I didn''t know he saw wealth that way.
When he saw the look in my eyes, he gently said, "What''s wrong? Didn''t you expect your husband to be like this?"
I nodded vigorously. "But when you say ''country'', which country are you talking about?"
I asked that because he was born in Nocturnia and had grown up in multiple countries. Even ATL Empire''s subsidiaries were spread across the globe. I was curious about which country he wanted to protect.
"No matter where I go or how many countries I visit, I''ll always think I''m from Zydan," he said solemnly. "Only in Zydan do I feel warmth, hope, and democracy. Nowhere else offers these qualities. That''s why Zydan makes me feel at home."
"So when you talk about protecting resources, it''s for Zydan?" I asked.
"Of course. I''ve already reached an unofficial agreement with Archie about this. need to protect the country''s interests and use my abilities and resources to safeguard these treasures, ensuring they create even greater value. I won''t let them fall into the hands of those driven by greed."
"You have my support!" At this moment, supporting him was the best thing I could do.
"This isn''t just my and Archie''s wish. It was also myte father''s wish. That was why he chose Torado and returned to Zydan, establishing the headquarters in Foswood.
"He never ckened his control over his resources. He always remained vignt and never let go of his share. His goal was certain, and after epting it, I decided to work on it."
"Will you give up your interests for this?" I asked.
