Wendy was a little dumbfounded after listening to this voice message.She had already been working as a hostess for quite a long time, and she had also been operating Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation for quite some time. She had received all kinds of activities, but she had never accepted this kind of job where they would have to be impersonating fans to pick a celebrity up at the airport.So, Wendy replied apologetically: “Sorry, Miss Calbot, but we have not done this kind of business before, and we are not very good at it. I’d advise you to look for a professional company specializing in this area to collaborate with you instead so that we do not affect your business.”Maya immediately became very anxious when she heard these words.Look for a professional company specializing in this area?!It was not that there were no professional companies, but all of them would have to prepare all their resources in advance!Not to mention the fact that she could not find the headhun
Maya instantly felt extremely helpless inside.She looked at Tom, who was aside, as she subconsciously asked, “Young Master, what do you think we’re going to do about this, then?”Tom had a very dark expression on his face. He truly did not expect that the other party would still turn the job down even when he had already offered this price.So, he subconsciously regarded Wendy’s decision as her way of taking advantage of someone who was in need to overcharge him.Tom then ground his teeth and said coldly, “D*mn it! It is just because she wants to get more money! Tell her that we will not continue talking nonsense with her anymore. Just raise the price to six hundred thousand dollars!”Maya quickly sent a voice message to Wendy: “Chairman Wilson, would it be okay if we raised the remuneration to six hundred thousand dollars, then?”Wendy was indeed a little tempted.It was a working day today, and it was Tuesday. Most of the workload for a company like theirs which specialized i
Wendy was never a sweet nor foolish girl. Although she had not done much business before, it could be said that she had also experienced the sadness in this world over the past one to two years. So, she was very clear about the basic rule of survival in society now, and that was to do her best to fight for her own interests.Moreover, Wendy was not alone now, and she had hundreds of young girls who were looking up to her and following her to make ends meet. So, Wendy naturally wanted to fight for more benefits on everyone’s behalf. When Maya heard that Wendy wanted one million dollars, she subconsciously looked at Tom, who was aside, immediately.She was just Tom’s personal assistant. So, whether this sum of money should be spent or not was completely dependent on Tom’s intention.The expression on Tom’s face was extremely ugly at this time.He ground his teeth and said, “This Wendy Wilson really has a big appetite! She actually dares to ask me for one million dollars for such a
Fortunately, everything had finally been resolved now.Although it had cost Tom a lot more money, this was all Daxton’s fault, and it had nothing to do with her at all.So, Maya hurriedly confirmed the collaboration with Wendy, and she asked Wendy for the company’s bank account number. After that, she immediately arranged for the finance department to handle the payment.By the time Tom had just boarded the private jet and was waiting for the takeoff, the finance department had already finished handling the process of transferring the money. After Tom finished approving the payment on his cell phone, Wendy immediately received feedback from her finance department stating that they had just received a transfer of one million dollars from Tom Zielinski’s agency studio.Wendy was extremely happy. In her opinion, this single business deal would simply be able to improve everyone’s lives. So, she immediately sent a voice message to the company’s WhatsApp group with more than a thousand
Wendy’s action was very dexterous. She confirmed the chosen three hundred employees after ten minutes through further confirmation and screening of the personnel attendance list.After that, she decided on some details with Maya, including the slogans that everyone should be shouting, the banners, and also their overall actions at that time.Tom himself was initially very dissatisfied with Wendy, but after seeing that she was very efficient and professional at her job, his mood eased a little.The plane took off, and as Tom was flying toward Aurous Hill, Wendy had already started deploying her employees. Three hundred hostesses were all preparing to leave for the airport from all over Aurous Hill.When Wendy was done arranging the work, she felt very happy, almost as though she had just won a battle in her heart.She recalled that when her brother-in-law, Charlie, had handed Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation over to her, this company was still not of much value. However, We
Charlie casually said, “I’m not busy with anything. I’m just meeting a friend outside. Why?”Wendy hurriedly said, “Oh, I see… Actually… In truth, there is no reason as to why I’m calling you. I simply wanted to give you a report about the recent situation of Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation.”Charlie smiled as he asked her, “So, is the company doing fine now?”Wendy hurriedly replied, “Brother-in-law, the company has been doing pretty well lately! This is all thanks to Don Albert and the others for their care and help. There is more business, the company’s income is also higher, and the number of employees is increasing steadily.”Charlie smiled and said, “That’s not bad. I hope that you’ll continue putting in more efforts and work harder so that you can bring the company to the next level.”Wendy assured him, “Don’t worry, Brother-in-law. I’ll definitely do my best to make Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation even bigger and stronger. I’ll turn it into the biggest etique
Although Charlie had never met Tom before, he did not have a good impression of him at all because of Daxton and the matter relating to the presidential suite. What’s more, this guy was even thinking of pursuing Quinn, and this made him feel even more unhappy.As he thought about the harsh words that Tom had said to Isaac over the phone earlier, Charlie planned to do his best to act as a host to Tom. He would make sure that Tom would be able to feel the warmth of the people of Aurous Hill as soon as he got off the plane.Weren’t you hiring females to act as your fans to pick you up when you land? In that case, I will arrange a little surprise for you, then.At this time, Wendy, who was on the other end of the line, asked curiously, “Brother-in-law, do you know Tom Zielinski?”Charlie said, “I do not know him, but I think I will get to know him very soon.”After he was done speaking, Charlie then said, “By the way, Wendy, there are still some things that I have to deal with here.
Albert asked, “Master Wade, how many people do you need? What are the requirements?”Charlie replied, “Well, I want all of them to be males, and I want them to be those kinds of people who regularly go for fitness training. They should be muscular, and it would be even better if they had scars on their faces and necks. As for the number of people, there should be a minimum of two to three hundred people. The more the better.”Albert had a surprised look on his face as he asked, “Master Wade, are you planning to bring these men with you to fight others?”“No,” Charlie waved his hand and said, “I want them to go to the airport for a plane pickup.”“Plane pickup?!” Albert was confused, and he did not know what Charlie was up to this time. However, Isaac, who was aside, immediately understood Charlie’s intention, and he could not help but smile as he said, “Young Master, are you planning to send the thugs that you’ve helped to go to the airport to act as fans for Tom Zielinski’s plan
Ares LLP was the biggest law firm in the States, and only the best of the best were recruited as associates.If Jimmy got to pick ten of their partners, he was basically taking a huge chunk out of their human resources.Moreover, the partners' salaries would be very expensive. With Jimmy included, eleven of them meant over a hundred million US dollars at minimum. Ares would definitely be maimed if they had to pay that much money while losing ten of their elites! Naturally, Jimmy didn't feel confident about achieving that, and he asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade… Don't you think it's too much? Would Nate even agree to that?"Charlie shrugged. "Of course he won't agree if you're the one asking, but he would definitely say yes if it were Julien."Julien almost rolled his eyes.The man was truly ruthless, ready to inflict so much damage at the drop of a hat.Worst of all, he was going to play the villain for Charlie.Still, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade! I will pressure him
However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e
The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi
And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
