Push Children To Achieve More

Vic's eyes turned to Joseph, with a bit of solemnity in his expression. He slowly opened his mouth and said,

"What you just said does make some sense. Go and arrange it right away. Tell those people over there to stop what they are doing at once.

Moreover, as for the matter of the MA-1 robots, the news must be completely blocked. Not a single whisper should leak out."

Butler Joseph bowed slightly and replied,"Yes, sir. I'll go and take care of it right away."

Vic then looked at Reed, and there was a glimmer of long-lost expectation in his eyes as he said,"When Secretary Vera comes to give lessons to your younger brother in a few days, you should also attend the classes together."

Reed couldn't believe his ears. He dug his ears to make sure that he hadn't misheard, and asked in astonishment,

"Do you mean that I should study how to manage the company along with them?"

Hearing this, Vic glared at him and shouted loudly,"What? You're already eighteen years old. Shouldn't you share some responsibilities for your father?"

Reed shook his head like a rattle, refusing repeatedly,"Manage the company? No way. I'm not cut out for that. You'd better place your hopes on your beloved second son."

Are you kidding? He came here to enjoy a carefree life. How could he possibly take on such a tiring job?

It's so pleasant to be a carefree young master who just idles around and lives an easy life.

Besides, he was just an ordinary little killer. It might be possible for him to kill off all the people in a company.

Manage the company? Stop joking.

Even a dog wouldn't want to do this job.

Seeing his attitude, Vic frowned slightly, but he didn't give up and said,"Since you don't want to manage the company, then you will follow me to attend various meetings and learn to handle relevant affairs from now on."

He was calculating in his mind that in this way, one son would handle political and historical affairs while the other would be in charge of financial matters.

It could be considered a good arrangement.

However, Reed wasn't moved at all.

He simply lay down on the sofa, assuming a posture like Ge You's (a famous Chinese actor who is often associated with a laid-back sitting position), looking like a lump of mud. Lazily, he said,"I'm such an unpresentable person. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you take me out?"

Seeing this, Vic's face flushed slightly with anger, and he said angrily,"You little brat! You still know what shame is? When you were fooling around and hanging out with those playboys on a daily basis, why didn't you feel ashamed?

Anyway, it's settled! Sit up properly. Look at you, with no proper sitting or standing posture. What kind of behavior is this!"

Vic looked at Reed, his eyes full of the look of hating that iron could not be turned into steel.

Reed was secretly wondering in his heart. Didn't this nominal father used to pay no attention to the original owner at all?

I haven't done anything special since I came back. Why did he suddenly start to be strict with me and place high hopes on me as soon as I returned?

Although he wasn't particularly opposed to the idea of pushing children to achieve more, the premise was that it shouldn't be aimed at himself.

Reed's eyes rolled, and instantly he became a drama king. While rubbing his arms and legs, he cried out in pain,"Ouch, I can't take it anymore. The training intensity has been too high these two days. I'm aching all over now. I have to go and lie in the treatment pod for a while. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

With that, he got up from the sofa and pretended to drag his feet with great difficulty as he left.

Vic watched his receding figure and was in a daze for a moment. By the time he came to his senses, Reed had already reached the door.

He quickly shouted loudly,"You little brat, come back here! I haven't finished talking yet!" But Reed seemed not to have heard him and walked away without looking back.

Vic was so angry that he slammed the table hard and roared loudly,"This little brat is really getting more and more out of control!"

Butler Joseph stood aside and witnessed all of this. He clearly saw the smile that Vic couldn't hide in his eyes and knew that the master wasn't really angry.

Butler Joseph said softly,"The eldest young master has indeed been training hard these days. When you came back, I had just called him out of the training room."

Hearing Butler Joseph's words, Vic was slightly stunned. The image of Reed just now came to his mind, and he couldn't help muttering to himself,"I haven't been away for too long, right? Why does it seem that he has changed a lot?"

Butler Joseph nodded slightly and replied,"These days, the eldest young master is indeed much livelier than before, and he acts more casually and freely."

Thinking of how the eldest young master used to be always cautious and meticulous, a hint of heartache involuntarily emerged in Butler Joseph's eyes.

"Perhaps after experiencing that accident, the eldest young master has become much more open-minded. However, he is more like what he was in his childhood in this way, isn't he?" Butler Joseph said softly.

Vic's body suddenly froze. Yes, the liveliness of Reed just now was exactly the same as when he was a child.

When he was a child, this eldest son was extremely intelligent, and Vic himself had also been full of expectations for him. But when exactly did he become so rigid and dull?

It seemed to be after Theo was born, or maybe even earlier. He couldn't remember clearly.

A sense of guilt couldn't help welling up in Vic's heart. Although he had always provided him with the best material life, it seemed that he had still treated him unfairly after all.

"Alas!" Vic let out a heavy sigh.

Seeing this, Butler Joseph quickly comforted him,"Master, you don't need to worry too much. The eldest young master is very intelligent. He will gradually understand many things."

Vic nodded slightly and said,"Tell me about the affairs in the mansion during the time I was away."

Butler Joseph immediately responded and then recounted in great detail all the big and small affairs that had happened in the mansion during this period.

Let's turn to Reed again. After returning to his own residence, he actually got into the treatment pod.

There was a reason for his doing so. During this period of time, he noticed that every time he came out of the treatment pod, his thinking seemed to become more agile and his memory had improved a little. Although the changes were quite subtle, he still detected them keenly.

However, according to the memories of the original body, the treatment pod was supposed to only play a role in repairing and relaxing the body at most, and it wouldn't have such an obvious enhancement on the mental aspect.

Despite being full of doubts in his heart, that didn't stop him from using the treatment pod to improve himself.

The dedicated medical team in the mansion also noticed something abnormal.

The person in charge of the team looked at the data in his hand and said to Dr. Mark, the attending physician, with a puzzled expression on his face,"Why has the consumption speed of the nutrient solution in the eldest young master's training room been so fast during this period? Is there something wrong with the eldest young master's health?"

Dr. Mark was also at a loss.

He shook his head and said,"I'm not sure. Isn't the eldest young master's health always good? Maybe the number of people using the treatment pod has increased during this period. Didn't the eldest young master often let his subordinates use the treatment pod before?"

Then Dr. Mark added,"However, with the mayor's financial resources, even if the nutrient solution is changed three times a day, it can afford the eldest young master's extravagance. Let's not worry about it unnecessarily."

The person in charge thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case, so he didn't look into it any further.

He just quietly increased the quota of the nutrient solution a little more in the report form for applying for materials.
