Julian had always been confident in his work.Whether it was major decisions like the company's future direction and when to implement transformations, or smaller details like how to push a project forward and what goals to achieve at each stage, he always had a clear plan in mind.But today, the strengths he prided himself on seemed to lose their effect.All he could do was wait for my answer passively. I thought for a long time before finally saying, "If you're really considering marrying me, then for the next few years, no matter how amazing the women around you might be, you can't let your heart waver. You have to choose me no matter what."I didn't want the man I was considering as my husband to get involved with other women along the way. "Can you accept that?""Of course, I can," he replied, more seriously than ever.I didn't say anything.Julian continued, "I've been single until now. I've met plenty of outstanding women, but I've never had feelings for any of them. An

Julian was reluctant to let go. "I just want to spend a bit more time with you.""I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere," I replied, amused."Julian, you need to earn money to support Willow and all the employees under you. If you get too caught up in romance and neglect the company, what will happen to them?"Hearing this, Julian finally let me go, albeit reluctantly. He returned to his desk but not before pulling me close for a deep kiss.After he left, I turned back to my laptop screen. Suddenly, the direction of the storyline became clear in my mind. I began sketching the outlines intently.When I finished, I turned my head and, to my surprise, found Julian secretly watching me.I got up and walked over to him. "Are you not in the mood to work right now?""I've already finished today's tasks." Perhaps because we had just confirmed our relationship, Julian felt even the small distance between us was unbearable.Grabbing my wrist, he pulled me into his arms. "So, what do y

At that point, without her parents to back her and without any real skills, she wouldn't be able to resist.She'd have no choice but to slink away from his house and take some low-paying job earning two or three thousand a month to scrape by.The more Alice thought about it, the angrier she became at how despicable he was."Your dad doesn't necessarily need to reject every collaboration outright. There's one project I've heard he wanted to propose to your father, the one in the northern part of the city," Julian stated.Alice shot Julian a wary look. "You're not getting back at me on purpose because I interrupted your moment with Aralyn earlier, are you?"Her father had clearly said not to accept any of them. And now Julian was suggesting otherwise?"If you don't trust me, then forget it." Julian didn't bother explaining further.Seeing that he was serious, Alice continued, "My dad said that project seems like the most legitimate one. If we had money, taking it on wouldn't be an

Previously, he even felt sorry for Alice.She had put aside her pride and gone out of her way to chase Julian. Yet, Julian remained unmoved.After discussing the project with Julian today, he realized his daughter couldn't handle a man like Julian. Alice raised her chin, brimming with pride. "Of course! Why else would I ignore so many others and insist on making her my best friend?"Danny sighed. "You've always had terrible judgment in picking friends. It's rare for you to get it right. And when you finally do, you meet someone influential."Alice let out an awkward laugh."My judgment has never been good, but Dad doesn't need to know that," Alice thought.At first, she had seen Aralyn as a rival in love.Alice narrowed her eyes.The people she made friends with were bad, and the people she disliked turned out to be surprisingly decent.Maybe from now on, she should only choose friends from the people she disliked.Danny patted Alice on the shoulder. "Cherish these friends.

"In the business world, this is the most basic skill. If you don't think further ahead, you might end up being harmed without even knowing how it happened," Julian said calmly.Alice could clearly sense that Julian was trying to teach her something. Not understanding it, she asked, "Why are you telling me this?"Julian didn't answer. He merely withdrew his gaze.Alice noticed Julian's disdain, which left her even more puzzled. Had she done something wrong?"You're planning to start a gaming company, right? Julian is teaching you how to handle things when you eventually have your own company," I said.Alice put on a fawning smile. "But running a company is so troublesome. I only recently realized I enjoy working for others more."She could live carefree every day while still earning so much money."Can I just keep working here forever?" she asked, looking completely innocent.Since I was also one of Julian's employees, I couldn't make that decision for him. I turned to Julian. "

Sophia, thinking about the company's issues and how Julian always had solutions, couldn't suppress the smile on her face.She walked into the office without a second thought. "Julian—"Before she could say anything, she saw Julian—known for being distant and uninterested in women—deeply engrossed in kissing the woman in his arms.She suddenly had a bad feeling, so she quickly pretended she hadn't seen anything and began to back away.…Hearing the sound, I hurriedly pushed Julian away. "Someone's here."Julian looked a bit regretful but still raised his gaze to see Sophia, who was about to close the door. "Come in."Sophia stood in front of Julian's desk nervously. "Julian."Julian sat down expressionlessly and looked at Sophia. "Next time, knock before entering."Sophia felt speechless. "I don't need you reminding me to do that!" Sophia thought.But she replied, "Okay."Julian gestured with his eyes for her to sit, then casually asked, "Whatever the issue is, feel free to a

Even if Julian wanted to, he couldn't spare the time to be affectionate with me. Glancing at me, he sighed and turned back to focus on his work.…By the time he finished, it was time to pick up Willow. I gathered my things and walked over to Julian, asking, "Ready to go?"Julian stood up and held my hand. "Yes."As I looked at our intertwined hands, I found it strange. I had been married to Shayne for so many years. He never got used to holding hands or hugging me in public, nor did he want to display any kind of affection.When I asked him why, he said it was because he was the CEO of Pearce Group and couldn't appear too frivolous.But Julian was completely different. Wherever we went, he couldn't wait to hold my hand, paying no mind to what others might think."Aren't you afraid that people seeing us like this might harm your image?" I voiced my curiosity.Julian answered without hesitation, "Of course not. I think they'd just envy me for having such a great girlfriend."

When this topic was brought up, Eric's mood instantly brightened. "They've already been discharged from the hospital, thanks to the salary you gave me over the past few months. Otherwise, I don't know how I could've managed it.""That's money you earned through your own abilities. Now, besides escorting Willow every evening, I've arranged a part-time job for you as well," Julian said calmly."You'll be responsible for taking Ximena and Pamela to and from places daily. Do you have the time?""Yes!" Eric responded unhesitatingly."As for the pay, I was thinking of adding 20 thousand to your current salary. If you have any concerns, you can ask me to raise it."Eric quickly shook his head. "I'm fine with it! I'm very happy with this income.""So, it's settled?" Julian asked.Eric nodded. "Yes, don't worry. I'll make sure to protect them."…Back in the living room, Julian relayed the arrangements to us.Ximena finally sighed in relief. "Now, when he bothers me, I'll have a way t

Julian chuckled. "Not eating breakfast until now is bad for your health.""I don't think I've been working for that long," I said as I picked up my phone to check the time. It was 10:10 am. I instantly felt a bit baffled.Julian's lips curved into a subtle smile. "For the sake of your health, you should eat some breakfast. I made scrambled eggs and some sides. Come downstairs and eat before you continue working.""Alright," I agreed immediately.I knew that skipping breakfast was bad for my health. Besides, as an adult, I should set a good example for the younger ones.Otherwise, if they saw me skipping breakfast, they might not want to eat either. That would be a problem.I walked downstairs alongside Julian."People used to call me a workaholic, saying my mind was always occupied with work. But you seem even more deserving of that title than I am." Julian sighed.I joked, "If I hadn't met you, I probably would never have found a boss as good as you. So, of course, I have to s

"How much is the internship salary for each employee? If they exceed their task requirements, how much of a commission do they get? You have to figure all of this out yourself. Once you have thought through these questions, your company will be ready for official operation," Danny concluded.Alice nodded, somewhat understanding. "Thank you, Dad.""You're welcome." Danny looked at Alice, feeling that the girl he and his wife had always cherished and protected seemed to have finally grown up.The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. "If you run into problems you can't solve, you can always come to me. I will definitely help you.""You're the best, Dad!" Alice remarked playfully."Of course. You're my only daughter. If I don't treat you well, who else would I treat well?" Danny said proudly.After chatting with Danny a bit, Alice returned to her room. She took out her phone and sent a message to Joseph."I've written a lot of stuff. How about we meet tomorrow to go over eve

"If they're truly talented, they wouldn't need to take over the company. They might as well go find a job elsewhere. After all, it's more promising than working for us. The only people you can hire are those unqualified yet overconfident ones," Joseph remarked, smiling.Lucas sighed. "Why did you come back? Need something?"Did he suddenly realize how tough it was outside and decide to return home for an easier life?Joseph took out a notebook and said, "Of course! I want to start a company. We already have a project. But we don't know how to manage it, so we wanted to ask you first."As Lucas stared at Joseph, he realized that Joseph had really improved after being away from the family.Before, when he tried to get Joseph to join his company, Joseph always said he wasn't interested.But now, he wanted to start his own business.Lucas sat down and shared all the knowledge he had accumulated over the years.Joseph didn't bother filtering what was good or bad; he just wrote every

"Otherwise, at the slightest disturbance, we'd start worrying about what we'll do in the future if their company goes bankrupt.""That's true." Joseph imagined himself running a major company and becoming number one in the industry, surrounded by people treating him like a star.He couldn't help but smile. "Alright! We'll do as you say!""Then go home and ask your dad how to manage a company. Remember to take detailed notes so you don't forget the most crucial and important points. I'll ask my dad as well. Don't worry. I'll write everything down."We'll have a discussion afterward. For the parts that are the same, we'll follow them. For the differences, we'll combine the best of both," uttered Alice.Joseph responded excitedly, "Alright."He had been troubled emotionally, thinking he shouldn't waver for another woman just because of what Alice said.But now, his mind was entirely focused on business.He believed that once he succeeded, women would naturally come to him and purs

But when he saw the high prices, he suddenly felt like it wasn't worth it. A regular apartment only cost a few thousand dollars a month. One night in a hotel cost tens of thousands of dollars. It was enough to rent a place for a whole year and even hire a housekeeper to clean up the place.In the end, Joseph booked a hotel for 200 dollars. After checking in, he realized that while it wasn't as luxurious as the expensive ones, there wasn't that big of a difference. It was still inhabitable.…Alice had finally found such a good way to earn money, so she wanted to take full advantage of this opportunity. Even though she was already very frugal with her spending, and her salary and bonuses from the company were quite high, she had to admit that making a lot of money on her own still made her feel really happy.As she lay under the covers, her mind was filled with thoughts of how to expand her and Joseph's business. She also thought of how to make more people aware of them.However, A

So, Avery choosing another man was the reason he was so upset. Joseph suddenly stopped in his tracks. However, he remembered that Avery had never actually said she loved him. It was Alice who said it.It was because he saw Avery trying to please him that he naturally assumed Alice was right—that Avery had a crush on him.Joseph had a vague sense of unease. He turned around and went back to Alice's house. He raised his hand and rang the doorbell. "Hello?"Upon hearing this, Alice walked to the gate with a yawn. "What is it?"Joseph stared at Alice as he asked, "I wanted to ask… Avery has never loved me, right?"Alice was stumped by his question. How did he figure it out?She looked away, feeling a little guilty.Joseph's voice rose. "So, you've been lying to me from the very beginning? Why did you do it? Was it for revenge?"Since she had been exposed, Alice had no intention of hiding it anymore. "Yeah, why else? You suddenly found a woman to date and called her my substitute. Y

"However, you need to let me finish. Being handsome is important, but it's not the most important thing. You and I both know that."Joseph was still very upset. "Yeah?"Alice continued, "A man's career is also very important. The reason she chose someone else now is probably because your career isn't successful enough. If you became the CEO of a publicly listed company right now and approached her, she'll think she hit the jackpot!"Joseph sneered and replied, "I get it now. When I return, I will do everything I can to build my career. Once I've succeeded, I will find her and tell her about the great man she missed out on!"Alice awkwardly looked away. If he went to find Avery, she would be confused because she never liked him in the first place. However, Alice dared not say that. She merely smiled and said, "Then work hard!"Joseph was still feeling miserable.Alice thought that in this state, Joseph was particularly suited to working for her and helping her make money. "Constan

However, Joseph saw Avery open the door. She then wrapped her arms around the man's neck, standing on her tiptoes to kiss him.Joseph felt like he had been struck by lightning. Didn't Avery like him? Why was she so affectionate with another man? Could it be that she was stringing him along?Joseph quickly turned around in a panic, took the elevator down, and left the building.…The man heard the noise and turned around. He looked at Joseph's retreating figure and asked, "Do you know him?"Avery shook her head and replied, "No."The man smiled and said, "Then he must have gone to the wrong floor. Avery, I miss you so much."Avery pulled the man into her room forcefully. She then slammed the door shut behind them.…Joseph ran out of the neighborhood. However, his face felt a little cold. He was crying.He had been abandoned by his family, and his friends weren't generous with him. He once thought there were still people who loved him, but the only person who secretly liked

Alice knew she could help. She knew her friends were inexperienced, so when they started their businesses, they were full of passion. However, they suddenly realized they didn't know what kind of projects to do once they had secured the venue, hired the people, and wanted to start the project.Alice thought that starting with them would be a good option. Sure enough, after sending out her message, she received responses full of complaints about how hard entrepreneurship was, how they were completely in the dark, and had no idea what projects to pursue or how to find business partners.She actively messaged them, carefully confirming their needs, and then passed the information on to Joseph one by one. Once Joseph received the information, he found that a large portion of it perfectly matched his friends' projects. Even if his friends were not working on related projects, he would find other people who could work with them.The both of them were very happy once they ensured that ev
