As Javier spoke, Donny was baffled. He did not even have the confidence to retort to the insult thrown at him at the end of Javier’s sentence. That was because he felt that Javier was not acting cool and making things up. He really knew what he was talking about.It was then a blond, blue-eyed foreigner came over and clapped formally.“Excellent. Mister, you’ve successfully dispelled my impression of Chineans being ignorant and foolish just now. Thank you.”The foreigner spoke Chinean fluently, but what he said was kind of disgruntling.“Oh, my bad. I think that didn’t come out accurately, but please, believe me, I don’t mean what you think I meant. It was because of this man’s nonsensical explanation just now that I think he’s ignorant and foolish. I wasn’t generalizing.”Javier felt slightly better with the explanation. Certain people could be ignorant and foolish, but one must not put the label on everyone. That would be a suicide attempt.The foreigner then turned to Donny.
Traveling these days allowed Javier and Suzanne to interact more.Suzanne was deeply impressed by Javier’s profound knowledge. She did not know how his head could store all this stuff. It was like he knew everything. Her instinct as a medical researcher even filled her with the impulse of dissecting his head. She ought to study if Javier’s head was battery-charged and contained a microcomputer in there.Javier grew to like Suzanne even more as well. The woman was kind and intelligent, a little sly at times. Women like her were popular among men, so the reason she had not been dating all these years must be due to her concentration in medical research—not that she was purely chasing after wealth.Nathaniel had promised her before that as long as she fulfilled a certain number of years working for him, he would let her put her name on one of the patents. That was why Suzanne had been working so hard and did not even have the time for a boyfriend. She wanted to prove her worth!There
After what happened at Gurtuh’s the last time, Mallory had no longer wanted anything to do with Donny, but the man resorted to sweet words and repeated promises that he would not lie to her again. Thus, she had chosen to forgive him—yet, he not only tried to steal today but also lied to her without batting an eye like she was a fool.Mallory was furious. Her hands may be cuffed, but it did not stop her from raising her leg and kicking Donny with her heels-clad foot, making the latter hiss in pain.Javier could care less about this. He had more important things to do.“If you both want to leave this place, the best thing to do now is to shut up and let me handle it.”“Why must we—”Another kick from Mallory shut Donny up.If Javier had not been worried about the incident embarrassing Chineans, he would not even care about these two people. Donny, especially, could be drowned in the lake for all he cared!Swinging his hand, Javier slapped Donny again without any forewarning. Donny
That night, Javier did not return to his room but slept with Suzanne. Even then, nothing actually happened between them as Javier chose to respect Suzanne’s wishes.Of course, it also had to do with the lab being abandoned after he offended Suzanne back then.After returning from the overseas trip, the assembled equipment arrived soon after them. Usually, the vice CEO would send such a huge order over. Still, Javier was obviously not a usual case to Heinfensmirtz Inc. Adolf sent it personally and promised that there would be a 60% discount when the rest of the equipment would be sent over within half a month.The discount was shocking—taking 96 million dollars off 160 million dollars—so Javier could not help asking, “You’re done being the CEO, is that the case?”Adolf was determined. “Even if the board of directors kicked me out, I stand firm to show my favor to you, Mr. Kersey. I strongly believe that you’re my lucky star.”Javier chuckled. “What if I watch you get kicked out a
Most of the researchers who were on leave had returned by the time the equipment arrived. Compared to the original research team, a total of five people were missing. Alyssa was—well, who knew where she was decomposing right now, while the other four had left the team for their own reasons.Luckily, they were only assistants and would not hinder the research progress. They were not too aware of the invention process in particular either. In Suzanne’s words, they were people who could not provide any insightful answers even if other research teams recruited them.Suzanne led the members to begin installing the adjusting equipment and running the experiment on the psoriasis vaccine once more. The effect turned out well. The vaccine could both prevent and treat psoriasis and demonstrated a decent efficacy. The result pleased Javier.Hence, the drug manufacturing plant began to manufacture in batches while Javier sent the vaccine to relevant departments as well as went to a professional
Steve was terrified. He never thought in a million years that the huge gift Javier had meant would turn out to be such a thing.Although the photo of him having a meal with a certain higher-up was not enough to prove anything, he had no idea what other things Javier’s huge gift contained, which was the point that terrified him the most.After successfully gaining Steve’s attention, Javier packed up his things and was about to leave.Of course, there was no way Steven would allow Javier to walk away, so he hurriedly stood up to stop him.“Hang on, my friend, please. That’s a rather wonderful gift you’ve got there. May I see it first?”Javier smiled and said, “What’s the matter, Mr. Collings? Are you interested in my gift now? You didn’t seem to think much about it just now, though!”Steven smiled in embarrassment, seeming especially apologetic. “I didn’t realize your gift would pack such a huge punch.”Javier continued. “So, you want to know if there’s anything that packs an even
Steve had been on the phone for a very long time, trying to show his sincerity.However, Javier did not seem to be the least bit interested in his invitation. After all, he knew exactly what Steve was up to, so he rejected his invitation.Evidently, he would not allow Steven to have that honor of buying him a meal. Why should he anyway?After hanging up the phone, Javier sat in his car and immediately returned to the research center.In the end, the moment he met up with Suzanne and told her that the patent’s application was about to be completed, the latter suddenly complained to him about something. “Although my subordinates haven’t made any extra requests, don’t you think it isn’t appropriate for them to live together in the same quarters?”Javier was confused as to what was happening. It was not until Suzanne explained everything that he realized they did not have suitable accommodations for the researchers. Doug had arranged for them to live in their company accommodations,
Javier left Suzanne’s research center and ordered Herschel to look into the thing that was bothering Suzanne.He still had the same thought as before. ‘Once I find out what it is that’s bothering her and resolve it, I’m sure everything will be alright.’After sending Herschel away, Javier drove himself to a nearby hotel that seemed to be garden-themed, Hotel Garcia.Hotel Garcia may have a rather elegant name, but it was a hotel with a much more beautiful environment.Javier had been there once in the past and was rather satisfied with what he saw.He was there to have a chat with the owner of the hotel, intending to see whether he could rent his rooms long-term, three months, at the very least.He believed that Doug’s construction would be more or less done after three months, and they could even rent a little longer if required. The researchers under Suzanne were all precious babies to Javier, geese that laid golden eggs. Thus, he wanted to make sure they were well-served.H
