Chapter 1561 - 1560 Interesting Game_1
Walking out from the villa alone, Peter pondered the matter as he walked.
It made no sense!
Peter was somewhat baffled. Henry Ford had Joseph Smith bring him over, which seemed like an intent to let him be part of his circle. However, just after playing Mahjong, he dismissed him indifferently and even told him to take the bus back. Hadn’t his attitude changed a bit too quickly?
Sitting on the bus, Peter recalled all the know-how about officialdom and office politics he had read, and then smacked his thigh.
Now Peter was beginning to understand Henry Ford’s thoughts.
Clearly, his actions were favorable to Henry Ford, who indeed had the intention of grooming him. But, being a cautious man, especially after his mistress’s betrayal had rattled him, Ford had become more careful in his dealings, putting Peter through various tests.
The previous incident was obviously intended to let him realize the benefits of following Ford, to give him something to ponder, then suddenly turned cold and had him leave alone. This made no sense at all, and it was precisely this lack of reason that became the very reason, for he wanted to see if Peter would still remain loyal to him despite such a drastic change in treatment.
The test seemed to continue, and he couldn’t afford to be careless.
Peter was becoming more aware that within this mundane world, the battle of wits was also a form of cultivation.
By the time he returned to his dormitory, it was already past eight o’clock. He had thought of going out for some food, but then, an idea struck him. Giving Henry Ford some intelligence now could have a significant impact.
The more he thought about it, the more promising it seemed.
