Rick's Dilemma Chapter 194
Old Wilson and the general had spent several hours divising a plan to counter the Wang family's plans. If it worked, the Wang family would no longer be of any consequence in the whole of China. They would be ruined not only financially, but their reputation would be gone for good. Rick heard the pair out, then sat back and had a good think. He was willing to go along with the plan, but wanted to make sure that his family was safe from any repercussions afterward. The plan did involve a bit of personal risk to himself, but nothing that Rick felt he could not handle. After thinking about the situation for a few minutes, he gave his approval to go ahead. Phase one was to have a meeting with the representatives from the Wang family. Old Wilson set up the meeting at an hotel in Fing City for the next day. Ahead of the meeting, General Han had installed CCTV cameras in the venue, as not to miss a single movement or word. Since Rick owned the hotel, this was not an issue. Later that n

While Wayne was talking, Old Wilson sent a text message to a certain number. It was just one word. "Execute". This was a preplanned signal to start the ball rolling to ruin the Wang family. That one word put in motion a series of events over the next few minutes that the Wangs would not be prepared for. All of the usual elements had been ready to act at this command. Banks called in loans, holding companies pulled out all investments and even the stock prices bottomed out within ten short minutes. At that exact moment, the Old Man Wang recieved a flurry of messages, emails and phone calls. He was annoyed that at this cruical time people chose to bother him. Old Wilson said "Mr. Wang, I suggest that you take a look at your phone. You may need to respond in some way." The Old Man was wary of Old Wilson'd tone. 'Did he know something that I don't?' he asked himself. So he took out his cell phone, and within a moment, his world had come crashing down. He fell off his chair onto

Ting Gap was a hive of activity. The new nursery was almost finished. Larry was in today to see to final touches, as Debbie and Rick looked on. Larry asked the couple "Is there anything else that you would like to include in this room? With the furniture now in place, we can see how much space we actually have left." Rick was pleased with the outcome, but the final approval would come from Debbie. She replied "Oh Larry! Everything looks just perfect the way it is. I can't think of a thing that would make it any better." Larry joked "Will this be the last nursery we do, or should we add a nursery wing to the plans?" Rick and Debbie laughed along with him. Rick said "Aunt Alice and Debbie both have said something similar. But five is enough for now. We almost will have enough to start our own school!" Debbie was feeling a bit tired at that moment, so she excused herself to go and take a rest.Rick got serious for a moment with Larry. "Larry, I want to talk to you about ho

Old Wilson was hearing some rumblings in the pharmaceutical division of RBG Group. There was talk of a new drug that would be coming out soon that, if approved, would be a breakthrough in cancer treatments. The formula had been developled by a Doctor Werner in the Lima, Peru research lab that Rick's father had originally set up. It was his dream to bring to the world new and better treatments for all ages of cancer patients, that would be less destructive to the rest of the body. Even in today's world, radiation and chemotherapy were very hard on a person's physical as well as mental health. Some often said that the treatment was worse than the disease. Although this news was going to astound the medical community everywhere, there were some companies that were not in favor of letting the drug get approval. It had nothing to do with whether or not the drug worked, but it had everything to do with money. If this drug were to be released on the market, the main losers would b

The day of the gala was a busy time at the hotel. All the ladies present were having spa treatments and hair and nail appointments. The men just tried to stay out of their way. Rick and his crew went out after breakfast to the RBG Group Research Laboratory. There were many last minute details to work out, as well as setting up the hall for the coming festivities. General Han was making his presence known to one and all. He was determined that this day had no mistakes. His men were at peak form and were patrolling the building both inside and out. The guest list had been checked and rechecked by General Han and Old Wilson for any suspicious characters. Anyone not known was put under a microscope as to their identity. Metal detectors had been put in place at all entrances to the building. CCTV cameras were everywhere as well. General Han had even placed anti cell signal technology inside the main hall. This was to prevent anyone from broadcasting without permission the events of

The day after the gala, the real work to launch CA12N would begin. Preorders had been coming in from all over the globe for several weeks now. The manufacturing plant had been working overtime to fill all the orders as they came in. Although today was the first time that any of the orders were to be actually shipped, they were currently up to date on order fulfillment. Shipping overseas was not a problem since RBG Shipping was a sister company. Most of the orders were now on their way. Everyone at RBG Group Research Lab were relieved to have gotten through such a stressful time. And the best part was that the world now had a new promising drug that would mean new life for many people. Rick was anxious to get back home at this time. Debbie still had six to eight weeks before her due date, but he still wanted to be near her as much as possible during this hectic time. And he had to admit, he missed his sons too. They were the light of his life. He never felt more at peace than wh

After General Han was released from the hospital the next day. everyone headed straight to the airport. They were all just glad to be going home. This trip had definitely had it's ups as well as it's downs. The general was put in a sleeping compartment so that he good stretch out and relax on the flight home. He hated feeling like an invalid, but was appreciative of the care that he was shown by Old Wilson and Rick. His shoulder was of course still very sore, but he had suffered through worse in his time in the army. Rick was sitting in his seat thinking about his wife and children. He missed them way more than he ever thought that he would. And as the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and in his case, it certainly did. This trip made him appreciate life more than ever. And the thought of losing anyone was bad enough, but if it hadn't been for General Han's swift action, they all could have lost Old Wilson. That was something that Rick could not and would no

The flight back to Fing City was a long and tedious ordeal. The events of the past few days were weighing heavy on everyone. So it was a relief to finally be home. Rick was holding Brian as Debbie came into the nursery. Rick almost dropped the baby when he saw his wife. It had only been about a week since he last saw her, but it appeared that she had gained a lot of weight. But carrying twins only made it look that way. Rick realised that she was not too far from giving birth. Rick leaned down to give his wife a kiss. She gladly accepted it, as she had missed Rick terribly. She said "I am so glad that you are back! I think that the babies will be coming very soon. I'm having some of the same feelings that I had last time just before going into labor." Rick replied "I'm so sorry that it took longer than expected. But I'm home now! And I can't wait to meet my little girls!" After a while, they went out to the pool to relax and catch up on what all had been happening with each

Rick's Dilemma Chapter 332
It was a sad day for Rick. Today, he was to bury his beloved mentor, Old Wilson. Old Wilson had been frail, and his health had declined slowly. If someone didn't see him every day, they would notice a vast difference . But since Rick would go down to see his old friend regularly, he did not realise just how bad Old Wilson had gotten. It was on such a visit that Rick found Old Wilson sitting in his favorite chair out in his back garden. At first Rick just thought he was asleep, as Old Wilson would nap out there almost every day. But after sitting down beside him, Rick finally realised that Old Wilson had passed on. It broke Rick's heart. Old Wilson had left instructions as to what he wanted done after his death. He asked that Rick bury him next to Ruth, his wife, and their son, Christopher. It was out in the countryside, north of Fing City. Rick had made all of the arrangements, and that morning, he and Debbie headed out. He had made the announcement of Old Wilson's death to the com

After the kidney transplant, Debbie's health improved tremendously. She had regained her strength and stamina to the point that she was able to resume her duties at RBG LLC. Over the years, she had expanded offices in all of the major cities in the south. Every big company clamoured to have RBG LLC handle their accounting needs. It became a status symbol to have Debbie work for them. After such a huge expansion, Debbie and Rick had set their sights in a more global presence. So they started with Cairo, Eygpt. Since Anita had done such a good job organising that pharmaceutical office years ago, it had become the premier branch of RBG Pharmaceuticals. So it was a natural place to start the global expansion of RBG LLC. Rick and Debbie spent several months in Cairo setting up the branch, and even acquired a residence in Eygpt. It was an expansive villa right on the banks of the river Nile. Larry had designed it to reflect the location and local culture. The villa was named 'Alhudu

As time flew by, Lois had been in Jelang and had been doing very well with her shop 'Second Chance'. The local population had, for the most part, forgotten about her sordid past. She was a valued member of the business community. Last yesr, she had been nominated to run for the local Chamber of Commerce Chairman. She was of course flattered to be nominated, but was very surprised when she actually won the position. It was the peak of her life to have been given this post. Never in her wildest dreams did she ever imagine that she would reach such a height in her life. Even though it was just in a small village such as Jelang, the fact that she was overwhelmingly the popular choice humbled her even more. Rick and Debbie both were just so proud of Lois, and even came to her investiture ceremony, along with all of the rest of the Thomas family. Howard had really been putting his all into the Thomas Shelter. Along the way, he met a very nice lady, who had come in for an interview fo

The day dragged on as George frantically looked for his missing man. Since the man had no pockets, he didn't have his cell phone on him. So he could not call the general to tell him what was going on. He had all of his contact numbers in his phone, so he had not bothered to memorize any of them. After a long afternoon of being interrogated by the police, they at last let him make a call. He decided to call the resort, and if nothing else, he could leave a message for his boss. After this was done, the jailer put the man in a cell to wait for further instructions from the police Chief in charge. George finally went to the front desk to ask the desk clerk where the nearest police station was, thinking that it was a place to start looking, and to file a missing person's report. The desk clerk then remembered to give him the message that had come in for him, and it just so happened to be from his missing man. George went and sought out Matthew and Rick to accompany him to the p

After ensuring Su Ma had everything that she needed, the group left to return to the yacht. They were to spend the next few days at sea. Everyone was back on board, then they set off for their next port of call, Manilla, Philippines. It was an exotic port, and nothing like anything any of the group had experienced before. They had a wonderful time seeing all of the sights. Then they set sail for Singapore, Malaysia. This trip was a smorgasbord of many different cultures and sights, not to mention landscapes. Singapore was a bustling city, full of high end shopping centers with branded stores, as well as the local cultural sights. Museums, art galleries and the like. The kids especially liked the Singapore Zoo. It was filled with all of the animals that they had studied in school. The adults were partial to the Singapore Botanical Gardens and the National Orchid Garden. They all enjoyed the trip to China Town. It was a taste of home for them, but in a different way. There was really

The years had flown by. The Greens had expanded their businesses in every direction. The most profitable were the ocean shipping company and the pharmaceuticals. Medical supplies was running a close third. Rick was planning a big suprise for the kids' ninth and tenth birthdays next month. They had grown so much, and still all of them got along so well with each other. Li Fan had gone on to be a managing director of one of Rick's local offices, and he was proud of his work. His son, Ricky, was looking more and more like him every day. Alice was a very good mother. Ricky had grown up with the Green children, and seemed more like one of the siblings, rather than just a cousin. George and Anita's daughter Leah was also part of the "tribe". Since George paid close attention to the security of Ting Gap, Leah had grown up in the house as well. It was an exclusive daycare that Rick and Debbie were proud to provide for the two kids. All of the Green kids were very protective of them
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 326
General Han gathered all of the evidence that he had collected and called his friend at the police station. They sent the fraud investigation team over right away to go over the documents. They agreed with George that this was an embezzlement case, cut and dried. After informing Debbie and Rick of their findings, Debbie called a meeting of those involved. The head of personel walked into the conference room, stopped dead in his tracks and turned to flee. He was stopped by the security guards at the door. He was made to sit down and shut his mouth. Next, the other two culprits walked in together, chatting with each other. They sat down across from the upper managment team and waited. George introduced everyone. "Mr. Waits is the head of personel, this is Mr. Floyd, head of accounting, and that is Mr. Grooms, the managing director. Gentlemen, this is Mrs. Green, CEO of RBG LLC. The man next to her is Mr. Green, Chairman and owner of the RBG Group. Then we have Mr. Moore, Vice Pr

The crowd outside the venue were so excited to see their favorite stars and public officals as they arrived at the gala. The men dressed in tuxedos and the beautiful gowns that the women wore were worth standing in the night air to see. All of the attendees made use of a step-and-repeat banner set up for press photos. These glamour shots would been seen all over the media in the coming days. But the most stunning had been Debbie in all of her finery. Her jewels shone like the stars in the heavens. They cast a glow around her like nothing else could. The evening was filled with surprises, and a lot of money was raised for the Green Children's Foundation. Brandon was thrilled with both the turnout and the donations total. It had been a very successful night. The day after the gala, everybody at the Green villa slept in late. They only got up in time for a scumptous brunch prepared by Chef Matthew. It was well worth dragging themselves out of bed for. Then everyone started to get
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 324
Once again, the Thomas family came together for a family weekend. The highlight of the weekend was of course the gala for the Green Children's Foundation. Since Jonathan and Betty lived in Beijing, they were to be included in all of the festivities as well. Rick and Debbie loved having their family around them, and this weekend was no exception. Rick and Debbie's Beijing villa was not as big as Ting Gap, but no less opulent. After all, Larry had done the design work and supervised the work himself. It was large enough to hold most everyone coming from out of town. Lois, Rebecca, the Old Thomas', Howard, Heyward and his wife , Aunt Alice and Li Fan and of course Matthew and Brandon. So the Green mansion was full to the brim. Matthew decided to cook on the first night of the gathering. Dinner on that Friday night was a master piece of culinary delights. Matthew rarely got to indulge himself in the kitchen of late, so he went all out to prepare a meal fit for a royal banquet. His dish
