"The views on your videos will continue to grow rapidly, so…"He gestured with his finger, signaling for me to hand over my phone.I complied.Mark skillfully tapped on my phone a few times before explaining, "You mentioned that you don't want to run ads, so we'll place links to some of our products on your homepage instead. Hughes Group belongs to Mr. Hughes, who's Willow's father."Think of it as helping her dad promote his products. Plus, if the products sell, you'll earn a share of the profits. This way, you'll have an additional source of income."I blinked.Seeing that I didn't respond, Mark hesitated and set my phone down. "You don't like the idea?" I shook my head. "I just didn't expect to have such a good supervisor and such a great boss."They were genuinely putting so much thought into helping me earn more money.Mark didn't refute. "I also think the boss is great""Do the people helping to promote me get this treatment too?" I asked, looking at Mark.Mark turned

Julian crossed his legs and leaned back, staring at the ceiling. He was pondering this problem seriously.He had never been in a relationship and lacked experience. Should he take a lesson from someone who was experienced? But who would be suitable?…Avery stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, reviewing Aralyn's accounts across various platforms.She clearly remembered that just a few days ago, Aralyn didn't have that many followers. Even the comments and likes were unimpressive. Why did the numbers suddenly surge?Had they started promoting Aralyn already? Avery couldn't understand. Wasn't she Aralyn's editor?If they had begun promoting Aralyn's work, why hadn't anyone consulted her?Avery wanted to go find Julian to ask what was going on. But she hesitated upon recalling Julian's look of disdain in the conference room.After much deliberation, Avery decided to approach Mark. Standing outside his office, she raised her hand and knocked on the door."Come in."Mark looked

Avery remained silent. Luna had been dealing with so many troubles lately, yet she still managed to submit her work on time every day, which was no easy feat.Avery decided it was better not to bother Luna with work-related issues.After thinking it through, she smiled and said, "Nothing. I just saw how fast Aralyn is, and it made me a bit anxious."Luna finally relaxed. "That's good to hear."…Perhaps it was due to the rise in stats, but my drawing pace improved significantly this morning. What usually took me until the afternoon to finish was done entirely by the morning.Although I was exhausted, lying on the couch and watching the followers climb steadily made me feel as if everything I was doing was worth it."Aralyn."Alice, who had grown close to me, no longer bothered knocking before entering my office. She walked straight over to me. "I've got some good news for you.""What is it?"Alice sat beside me, toying with my hair. "After I went home yesterday, I realized yo

Julian merely hummed in response. He then reminded her, "However, Aralyn and I are still developing our relationship, so you need to be careful and not mention that when you're with her."Alice nodded knowingly. "I get it. You're afraid Aralyn will know about it and she'll start avoiding you, which would make it harder to pursue her, right?"Julian rarely showed an approving expression, but he nodded. "Yes."Scanning Alice up and down, Julian hesitated for a long time before asking politely, "May I ask you something?""Me?" Alice pointed to herself incredulously."Yes."Alice, now smug, leaned against the wall and said, "Go ahead.""Do you know how to pursue someone?" Julian got straight to the point.Alice had once pursued him, so she should have experience. Julian decided to learn from her.The smile on Alice's face instantly disappeared, and the way she looked at Julian changed. "Are you trying to provoke me on purpose?" Julian was puzzled. "Why do you say that?"Alice w

Alice suddenly seemed to understand why Julian's company had grown so large. With such amazing benefits, of course, everyone would work hard."We provide three meals a day, housing, and additional subsidies," Mark continued.She felt as if she was dreaming. Did such an amazing company really exist?…After they left the office, I continued drawing. Once I finished today's work, I sat at the computer and turned my colored comics into short videos before uploading them online.Seeing the growing number of followers and comments, I couldn't help but smile.Since they were so supportive of me, I decided to post an extra today.I opened my folder happily, only to find an increasing number of sketches that hadn't been colored yet. It seemed like I couldn't slack off.I buried myself in work.Julian returned to the office, stopping behind me. "Are you tired? Do you need a massage?""A little."I leaned back on the couch. "I wouldn't mind."Julian placed his hands on my shoulders,

Maybe rent was worth too much money. Based on Alice's expression, the answer must be ridiculous.After hesitating for a while, I said, "Coffee?""No, it was mineral water, the kind that costs two dollars per bottle. And also one dollar pack of tissues."I could hardly believe my ears. "Really?""Yes. He calculated every penny he spent on the woman. After five years of dating, he only spent a little over a thousand dollars on her," Alice said disdainfully. I blinked."The woman saw how ruthless he was and couldn't stand him anymore, so she broke up with him. She also added up all the money she had spent on him over the years, and she found out she had spent no less than 200 thousand dollars on him."The woman was furious at that point and threw the bill in his face, demanding him to pay her back," Alice added, clearly enjoying the gossip.This was the first time I had heard of such a situation. "Did he agree to pay her back?""Of course not! He just bought flowers for the woma

Although Luna hadn't interacted much with Aralyn, judging from how Aralyn hadn't contacted Shayne at all after their divorce, it was clear she was a very decisive woman.It was highly likely that Aralyn truly wouldn't get back with Shayne. And Shayne, who was deeply in love with Aralyn, didn't realize his true feelings. The situation was predictable in the short term. Luna was safe.Initially, Luna had planned to find Shayne after dropping Mason off. That way, even if Shayne eventually realized who he truly loved, she could guide him and make Shayne believe that she was the one he loved.But now, she didn't feel like going to Shayne anymore. After all, with the card Shayne had given her, she could buy whatever she wanted. Instead of going to Shayne and inviting trouble, she could live in luxury.As Luna thought this, she glanced at her coffee. She wasn't sure if she had bought good coffee or if it was for some other reason, but the coffee tasted especially fragrant and rich.…

Displeased, Alice walked up to Joanna. "I like flowers, and someone gave me flowers. Isn't that enough? Why does it have to be from a man? Do flowers from men smell better? Are they more valuable?"Alice couldn't understand Joanna's way of thinking at all.Joanna blushed and shyly replied, "Because if a man is willing to give you flowers, it means he loves you."Alice was rendered speechless. She nearly rolled her eyes but managed to hold back and instead put on a smile."My friend sent me flowers because she loves me too. Otherwise, why would she bother spending the money?"With that, Alice hugged her bouquet and returned to her desk.…During lunchtime, I hadn't even finished organizing my laptop when Alice stormed into the office. She sneaked a glance at Julian, making sure he was still seriously focused on work. Then, she leaned in to whisper to me about the latest gossip she'd just overheard.I stared at her in disbelief. She had only been in the gaming department for on

"You'd better hide the recording. Otherwise, if I gave her the recording, she might even blame me for meddling and ruining her family."But after thinking about it, Serena decided she couldn't do that.She continued, "Good thing I insisted. She's doing a lot better now. I heard she not only has a job but has even started her own company. She even suggested I go work at her company."Evelyn asked, "Did you say yes?"Without hesitation, Serena nodded. "Yep."Evelyn shook her head in disbelief. "She was just being polite. How could you take it seriously?""I don't think she was just being polite. She seemed serious," Serena said, sitting down across Evelyn. "And she even told me about the company benefits!"It's ten thousand dollars a month during the probation period, plus holidays. And if you do a good job, you even get profit-sharing."Now, it was Evelyn's turn to be surprised. "That good?"Serena nodded. She understood what her mother was worried about. "At first, I thought s

Sometimes, a company with too many benefits would end up breeding people who were greedy beyond reason.However, that didn't matter. Once they were kicked out, the company would still thrive.…"Joseph hasn't even broken up with Stella yet, and he's already hooking up with Alice!""He even forced Stella to break up with him just so he could be with Alice!"Reporters posted the news and photos online.Everyone who saw it started cursing Joseph, calling him a scumbag, and saying Alice was a homewrecker.They cursed Alice, too.Seeing this, Avery jumped in, saying that Alice had once encouraged Joseph to chase after her, and that the two of them were seasoned players when it came to messing with people's feelings.With someone stepping up as a witness, people figured it must be true this time, and the insults got even harsher.Meanwhile, the ones being cursed were calmly sitting in a restaurant, sipping tea.Lucas glanced over and immediately understood why Julian had made a po

In other words, I could sit in the office, do nothing, and still receive my paycheck. This method of earning was, naturally, wonderful news for me. After completing the drawing, I rested my head on one hand and reviewed the messages and reports from others. The team recruited by the secretary was clearly very capable. They could manage everything flawlessly without my input. Some even took the initiative to propose additional plans and launch new projects to earn more, which I reviewed and encouraged them to pursue. They didn’t need to worry about funding, as my secretary and I were there to support them. Once I had done all this, I leaned back to relax. At that time, both Julian's side and my own company were bringing in significant profits annually. I was not only able to support my mother's retirement comfortably, but I also had plenty of funds to assist others. I quietly contemplated whether there were other companies I could explore beyond these two ventures.There was a kn

Alice only perked up when she heard him ask, "What do you think?" "I think she'll spread rumors, claiming that while I was dating her, I was secretly flirting with you," Joseph said, gesturing widely. "Isn't that just her usual trick? If it works, she'll definitely keep doing it."Alice fell silent.Joseph went on, "We ended up together later, and then I dumped her." Alice touched her chin thoughtfully. "If that's all there is, I actually already have a plan to handle it." Surprised, Joseph asked, "When did you become so clever?"Alice calmly replied, looking down. "What do you mean by clever? When she dumped you before, my friend took a photo of it. After she sent it to me, I saved it. After all... It's not every day you get to see someone you dislike being humiliated. Of course, I couldn't miss it. Wouldn't you agree?" Alice finally looked up and met Joseph's gaze.Joseph forced a smile. "I'm really thankful for your curiosity. If it weren't for you, I'd be helpless if St

She believed that by making the first move, she could secure a dominant position. Alice looked at her and then at Joseph. "Is she your ex-girlfriend?"Joseph was reluctant to admit it, but he nodded. "Yes, she is." Alice openly displayed her disdain. "She's so clueless. What were you thinking when you dated her? She even accused me of being with you just because you're wealthy now. Doesn't she realize that we both invested in this company together?"Alice turned to Stella. "As a co-owner of this company, I'm here to oversee its operations. Do I need your approval for that?" Stella was taken aback by Alice's assertiveness, and she quickly looked to Joseph for support. Joseph avoided making eye contact with her.Stella understood that Joseph would no longer be by her side.With her head held high, she said to Alice, "Why didn't you choose another time? Why did you come exactly when I was meeting Joseph? You're trying to disrupt my relationship with him!"Alice replied, "Did yo

"Consider the consequences carefully before deciding whether to let me make this call." After saying this, Joseph watched Stella closely to gauge her response. Stella pressed her lips together, contemplating. Ultimately, she felt that agreeing with Joseph would make it hard to justify herself regardless of the call's content.So, without much thought, she replied, "You used to trust me without question. No matter what I said, you always had my back. Whenever I faced any troubles, you'd always defend me. What has changed now?" Stella stared at Joseph intently.Joseph recalled the time he confronted Alice about her issues, instigated by Stella, and ended up being reprimanded by her. His expression grew more displeased. "Clearly, I'm not that foolish anymore." Stella shook her head. "I disagree. I think the real reason you're behaving this way is because you've grown closer to Alice.""What's your point?""Did you realize Alice is better than me and now want to make amends wit

Nowadays, he could make a significant amount of money daily without lifting a finger and enjoyed a more luxurious lifestyle than most. He was torn between doing nothing and traveling everywhere as he used to or continuing to launch new businesses.Hearing the knock on the door, Joseph calmly said, "Come in." His secretary opened the door and promptly informed him, "Someone's here to see you." Puzzled, Joseph asked, "Who?" "She mentioned her name is Stella. She's your ex-girlfriend." At the mention of his ex-girlfriend, Joseph couldn't help but chuckle. Back when his father had been on the verge of cutting ties with him, Stella hadn't hesitated to leave him. Now that he was wealthy again, she had wanted to re-enter his life. What had been her game? Had she thought he had been easygoing enough to be manipulated at her whim?Joseph said, "I understand. You may return to your duties now." "Okay." With that, the secretary departed of her own accord.Joseph paused briefly be

Joseph didn't need to oversee his employees because they were all deeply focused on their tasks. He felt quite content, believing the common wisdom was true. If you paid your employees well, they would worry about the company's stability even if you were hands-off. In his company, even the least productive employee earned over eight thousand dollars monthly, while the top earners made over ten thousand dollars. They were convinced that if they left his company, they wouldn't find such lucrative opportunities elsewhere. However, Joseph disagreed, knowing that companies like Julian's and Aralyn's were also willing to offer high salaries. He felt a sense of relief, realizing that his employees were unaware of these alternatives. Otherwise, they might leave for better opportunities. With that thought, Joseph relaxed and enjoyed his tea, savoring the wonderful life he led.When Joseph heard his phone ring, he answered it casually. "Hello, Dad. Is something wrong?" Lucas asked, "Do

"Thank you so much!" The other person replied with an equally easygoing tone. Truthfully, completing this deal meant he could take a break for several years. "Mr. Hughes, I hope you achieve great wealth in the future.""Thank you for your well wishes." Yet, Julian didn't really need much more money. "I will strive to earn more." After all, the more he earned, the more people he could assist, right?…I returned to the office just as Julian ended his call. Seeing me approach, he stood up and joined me. "Who did you meet downstairs just now?""Patrick," I replied honestly. "They want Luna to divorce Shayne and reunite with Rowan." Julian was astonished. "For their generation, you'd think they'd be worried about their daughter-in-law finding someone else after a divorce. They know Luna is married to Shayne, yet they still want her back with Rowan?" Julian couldn't comprehend their thinking. "Yeah," I confirmed. "There must be a reason for their change of heart." Julian w
