The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 836

Chapter 836 

*After all these years of observation, I think you’re completely qualified. When I retire, you can take over my position. I’ll introduce you to lead the National Defense Bureau.” 

National Defense Bureau was different from other departments. 

Here, the new successor was nominated by the retiring leader. 

Mr. Thompson valued Bruce very much and wanted to elect Bruce to replace him when he retired. 

One had to know that this was a very important responsibility. 

It was far more glorious than being the wealthiest man in Greyport or a billionaire tycoon. 

In other words, a billionaire tycoon was nothing in front of the National Defense Bureau. 

If the National Defense Bureau wanted one to go bankrupt, one would lose everything in less than half a year. Of course, having this kind of privilege didn’t mean it would be abused. 

Upon hearing this, Bruce became restless and instinctively stood up. “Mr. Thompson, you overestimate me. I’m afraid I can’t handle such an important position. 

“All these years… I’m really tired. Right now, I just want to accompany my family…” Bruce stammered but still said his request. 

When speaking with Mr. Thompson, he experienced a feeling of nervousness for the first time. 

This was completely different from the feeling of him being swift and decisive in business and having everything under control. 

When Mr. Thompson heard this, he did not immediately refute it but only nodded at Bruce affirmatively. “Oh, I can understand you. 

“To balance work and family is what makes a man truly exceptional. 

“Back then, I was also young and conflicted. I also have the same feeling as you, so I totally understand how you feel.” 

When Bruce heard this, his eyes lit up. 

“That’s great. 

“Mr. Thompson was still very easygoing and understood my feelings,” he thought. 

“But…” Mr. Thompson frowned and changed the topic. “National Defense Bureau is currently in need of manpower, and you are the most capable in the organization. 

“National Defense Bureau needs you, and so does the country. I hope you can consider it carefully. This is not only about personal interests but also about the country’s interests. 

“We are members of the National Defense Bureau. Everything we have will be dedicated to our great homeland from the moment we joined the organization, and everything we do is to defend our country. 

“The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I hope you can consider it carefully. You’ve come a long way to get here today, and that’s really something. Don’t give up now.” 

Since ancient times, those who excelled in politics had always been adept at brainwashing and manipulating people. 

Bruce was originally determined to leave the organization. 

However, Mr. Thompson easily rejected his request with just a few words. At the same time, his determination swayed. 

“Mr. Thompson, I…” Bruce stuttered. 

His thoughts began to waver. 

It was indeed not easy for him to reach this point. 

He also wanted to continue walking and see the scenery at the end. 

After all, it was easy to be a rich person. However, being a special talent in National Defense Bureau was not so easy. 

“It’s okay. I can understand your feeling.” Mr. Thompson patted his shoulder again. 

“I won’t force you to do anything. About leaving the organization, I’ll give you half a year to consider it carefully. 

“If you’re still determined to leave the organization after half a year, I’ll respect your choice.” 

When Bruce heard this, he paused for a moment. “Thank you, Mr. Thompson. I… will seriously consider it.” 

“Okay, you’re still very young. 

“There’s still a long way to go. You have to be careful no matter what decision you make.” 

“Thank you, Mr. Thompson.” 

Mr. Thompson didn’t say anything else and pressed the server button. 

Two minutes later. 

A thin young man wearing glasses walked in. 

“Mr. Thompson, hello.” 

Mr. Thompson introduced, “Bruce, this is Dexter Woolery. He will be in charge of your liaison work for the next six months.” 

Bruce was the first to extend his hand. “Hello.” 

“Hello.” They shook hands.
