Charlie asked, “So, Dad, do you have any plans?”He did not know what Jacob was thinking at this moment. Seeing Jacob’s sorrowful expression, he assumed that Jacob might want to lend Lady Wilson a helping hand.Jacob simply sighed and said, “As her son, it breaks my heart to see my own mother living such a hard-knock life and doing such a tedious job. I should not just sit on my hands and watch.”The next second, he closed his eyes and said, “However, I didn’t see anything! It was nothing but an illusion!”With that, he quickly turned around and said, “Charlie, let’s go buy some fish, shrimp, meat, and eggs. As for the vegetables, let’s buy them at another supermarket. What do you think?”Knowing Jacob’s intention, Charlie immediately smiled and said, “Yes, Dad. I’m thinking the same thing. The vegetables in this supermarket are not so fresh. Let’s go to the wet market later to buy the vegetables! First, let’s go see if they have a larger Boston lobster, and we’ll buy some back!”

Charlie also saw Hannah.When he laid eyes on Hannah’s green vest, he felt that it was somewhat comical. He started wondering what she looked like when she was working at the coal mine back then and if she was given a uniform. He even started to imagine what she would look like in the coal mine uniform.Hannah was feeling very frustrated now, shooting a vengeful glare at Charlie.Charlie was the one who had brought all these miseries upon her. It was he who had ruined it all when she tried to spring a trap on Elaine.That was not all.The worst part was that he had donated all her money to charity and then sent her to the coal mine!When she thought of her wretched moments in the coal mine, she couldn’t help cursing, “This d*mned Charlie! He sent me to that hell hole! I gave up so much when I was there, but what I got in return were STDs and a child! If it were not for him, I wouldn’t be so miserable today…”The more she thought about it, the more agitated she felt toward Charli

Hannah had only just come to the supermarket today to apply for a part-time job at a hundred dollars a day, but after having a conversation with the manager, he decided to let her take the job as a cashier since she was a college graduate.Cashier work was not as tiring as the other tasks, and the wage was a hundred and fifty a day. Therefore, she had agreed to the job offer in delight.The manager would love to have Hannah at the post she was at now if there were no big issues, but he could not keep her if she dared to provoke customers at the checkout counter. Fortunately, since she was just casually bickering with her relatives, the manager decided to let it slide and reminded her, “You need to watch out for your image since you are on duty now. Don’t chit-chat even if they are your relatives when you’re working, got it?”Hannah hurriedly nodded and said flatteringly, “Don’t worry. I won’t do it again!”The manager nodded and prepared to turn and leave when Jacob said, “Hey, a

The manager instantly understood what was going on after hearing Jacob’s remark, and he thought to himself, ‘So, Hannah clashed with customers, shouted at them, and even lied to my face in front of the customers! This is simply outrageous! If I kept her here for the job, I wonder how many customers she will offend next, and it may end up dragging me down too! No! I must get rid of her now!’Thinking of this, the manager said in a stern voice without hesitation, “Hannah Wilson, I hired you to work as a temp here, but I didn’t expect you to mistreat customers! I don’t think you are suitable for the job. Give me the cashier keys now, take off your vest, and leave!”Hannah felt as if her world had crumbled upon her!She thought to herself, ‘I came here early in the morning to look for a job, and I’ve been working so hard all morning! It’s almost lunchtime, and I was looking forward to going to the staff canteen and enjoying my free lunch, but I was fired! In this case, not only do I hav

Hannah shouted desperately, “Who are you to expel me?! Why aren’t you paying me a salary?!” No matter how loudly she shouted, no one pitied her nor sympathized with her. When Hannah was about to be dragged out from the supermarket, the manager said to Charlie and Jacob apologetically, “Let me offer my sincere apologies to both of you. It was my fault for hiring an unsuitable candidate to work here.” Jacob nodded, then he said, “It wasn’t your fault. Nonetheless, you are responsible for this incident as you didn’t hire the suitable worker!” Jacob then sighed and said melancholically, “You have poor judgement.” The manager nodded his head in embarrassment, “Your criticism is right. I’ll learn from my mistakes!” Jacob patted his shoulder and said proudly, “You still need more experience!” “Yes!” The manager nodded his head repeatedly. Then, he waved his hand at a cashier who had just finished her meal and was about to start her shift, and he said to her,

At this moment, Hannah felt that the days she had here were worse than those days at Mount Blackpine.She cried while reminiscing those days at Mount Blackpine, sighing as she said, “Despite those days at Mount Blackpine being not that good either, at least I did not have to starve when I was with the supervisor!” “Not only did I not have to starve, but I also did not have to do much work. Moreover, I also could gamble with Linda Howard and her family. How I miss those days!”“Although the supervisor looked ugly and was unhygienic, he was good in bed and had enabled me to experience unprecedented feelings…” Thinking of this, Hannah sighed. She sobbed and said to Wendy, who was by her side, “Wendy, how are we going to go through these tough days? We face many problems every day. Gone is our money, our company has gone bankrupt, we’re staying at a stranger's villa, and we hardly even have meals to consume. When will days like these end?” Wendy couldn’t help but cry too a

Wendy said, “Gerald and I had gone upstairs to meet Doris. Not only did she refuse to see us, but she also humiliated us by saying that Emgrand Group wouldn’t cooperate with those of the lower class like us. Soon afterward, Gerald was beaten up by Emgrand Group’s security guard…” Wendy then continued, “Later on, Emgrand Group terminated the partnership with the White family. Gerald’s father and uncle were very furious. Ever since then, Gerald started to stray away from me while his uncle, Zeke, had grown closer with Charlie. He even gifted Charlie the villa next to his…” “After that, the agreement between Claire and Emgrand Group had been terminated as a result of Grandma breaking her promise. Since then, our family has gone downhill…” “Wendell used to pursue Claire. Amidst that, his family was declared bankrupt. Since then, he had also disappeared into thin air...” “Likewise, Jason Grant used to court Claire. Eventually, Jason and his father, Justin disappeared. To

When Hannah heard that Wendy was willing to be Charlie’s concubine, she felt anxious. She blurted out, “Wendy, have you lost your mind? Why must you be that loser’s concubine? He’s no match for you!” Wendy sighed, then said softly, “Mother, to be honest, Charlie isn’t bad. He is handsome, responsible, and has a good personality. He’s way better than Gerald.” “Ridiculous!” Hannah glared at her before blurting out, “That loser is no match for you in any way!” Wendy smiled bitterly, “In these years, my situation cannot be any worse. I’ve fallen from being a phoenix to becoming a chicken now.” Speaking of this, Wendy couldn’t help but sobbed, “Mother, look at me. My reputation is gone. No guys will bother to give me even a single glance…” Seeing Wendy’s tears streamed down on her face, Hannah embraced her head into her arm and comforted her, “My lovely daughter, we shouldn’t think this way. What is reputation? Isn’t staying alive more important than anything e

Charlie shook his head. "It's alright, Dad. You can go ahead if you're busy—I can pick up Claire on my own.""No way!" Elaine promptly snapped. "It's been so long since she came back. We are all going to the airport!"Jacob sighed in exasperation. "Well, I'm sticking to my schedule—first the Calligraphy and Painting Association, then I'll be back an hour before to pick you guys up before going together to the airport."Elaine was left fuming. "Is there no getting through to you? You really have to go to that stupid association, don't you? Okay, fine. If you must go, I will be going with you!""You're their honored vice president who will be promoted to president soon, no? As Mrs. Vice President and the future Mrs. President, is there an issue if I went for a look?"Jacob shuddered at the thought of Elaine going to the Calligraphy and Painting Association as he absolutely didn't want her to humiliate him with her antics. People would talk, asking how a proper gentleman like him c

Jacob yawned, stretching his arms and smacking his cheeks, before finally retorting in contempt, "For Pete's sake, woman—don't make dissing me a habit. Or does it please you so much?"Elaine pursed her lips. "You call that dissing? It's all facts—do you think I don't know you? Tell me, what qualifications do you have? Your knowledge about calligraphy is skin-deep, and even the frauds working on Antique Street could beat you.""Only you would have the audacity to take the role of vice president at the Calligraphy and Painting Association—heaven's above, how blind is the president to appoint you as his second fiddle? Still, you'll be packing your things as soon as he realizes the truth.""Oh, Elaine, poor Elaine…" Jacob grinned smugly at her right then. "I'm afraid things won't go the way you want. Mr. Bay's been chasing a promotion lately, and once he gets it, I will take his place as president. That means I'll be the top dog instead of second fiddle!""Bullshit!" Elaine snapped in

Jacob slept in the next day while Elaine got out of bed past ten as well.However, in the case of the latter, she wasn't drunk and was simply watching livestreams and video clips on her phone—a hobby she had picked up recently.As for Charlie, he had initially planned to visit the Champs Elys hot spring villa and train Nanako in her Reiki control. However, since Claire would be arriving in the afternoon, he stayed home, planning to leave for the airport when it was time.Elaine appeared groggy as she emerged from the elevator, rubbing her eyes while holding her phone in the other hand.Seeing Charlie cleaning the living room, she asked in curiosity, "Not going out today, Charlie? Aren't you usually going out to meet clients?"Then, she became concerned in an instant, "Wait, don't tell me—the Feng Shui business is falling off? Are we going to be affected altogether?"Charlie laughed. "You're just getting paranoid now. Things are going fine—I'm just giving myself a day's leave.""

"Anyway, we have an issue," Helena continued. "Two days ago, Nvidia launched the B100 processor, their latest product, just two hours ago—a next-generation chip that will outperform our H100 considerably. I've instructed Harrison to pull some strings and preorder a batch from Nvidia before the B100 hits the market, at least ensuring that we can get our hands on 20,000 in the first quarter when the B100 circulates."Charlie asked, "What are Harrison's thoughts on the matter?" "Of course that old fox is going to be reluctant," Helena snorted. "But with the B100's processing strength outclassing the H100's, many AI institutions and multimedia giants are waiting with their wallets wide open. He's complaining that after pulling strings to get his hands on so many H100s, he is too embarrassed to do it again for the B100.""Bullshit," Charlie chuckled. "He's just not keen on us raising our prices after that previous agreement.""Exactly," Helena laughed as well. "He's about the shrewdest

By the time Jacob was sent home, he was almost passed out drunk.As Charlie took him off Walker's hands, Jacob's eyelids were but narrow slits.With his rough facial features, his flushed cheeks, and that strange smile of his, he looked just like those sleazy middle-aged men often seen in animated cartoons.Still, seeing that Charlie had come out of the house to get him, he chuckled drunkenly, "D-Dear boy… Your dad… was so amazing!"Charlie shook his head in exasperation. "You're drunk, Dad—get some rest already. Otherwise, you might wake Mom up and get an earful for this.""Earful?" Jacob's eyes widened ferociously as he snorted, "S-She'd never dare!"Charlie chuckled as he said quietly, "Come on, keep it down—Elaine is plenty daring. And in your state, you stand no chance if she starts to beat you."Despite being drunk a second ago, Jacob suddenly shuddered from the shiver running down his spine, and he promptly corrected himself, "A gentleman… never lays a hand on a woman!

Naturally, neither Mr. Bay nor Hal argued with this, thus following Albert and Jacob to the Diamond Room—the grandest room of Heaven Springs.After Albert led the trio there and smiled, "Gentlemen, if you would please take your seats, my people will be delivering Big Red Robe tea and our menu to your table shortly. I've spoken to the kitchen as well, and they will be preparing appetizers first. Please feel free to enjoy a game of poker until everyone arrives, and the main courses will be delivered right away."His arrangement was utterly detailed, and the trio were awash with gratitude.Hal and Mr. Bay especially were looking upon Jacob worshipfully, as if he was an unassuming bigwig on Charlie's level.Soon, as the invited guests arrived, Albert personally brought two bottles of 3-liter Moutai that cost an arm and leg to the Diamond Room.For politeness's sake, Hal ordered two more bottles of one-liter Moutai, meaning that it was one liter for the eight persons in attendance.Th

Don Albert was waiting at the front doors of Heaven Springs when Jacob's Cullinan arrived.He was absolutely enthusiastic in welcoming the man, even stroking his ego as much as possible as he knew Jacob and his vanity—which made that a must.Hence, as soon as Jacob stopped the Cullinan, Don Albert and the manager of Heaven Springs were immediately on hand to receive him.Mr. Bay was riding shotgun but recognized Albert right away, exclaiming, "Shit, he's coming personally to receive you too?"Jacob chuckled. "Well, he and my son-in-law have a lot of respect for each other, so I guess that respect is extended to us as well."As they spoke, Albert had reached the Cullinan and opened the door for Albert, nodding at him respectfully, "Greetings, Mr. Wilson. You can leave the keys with Mr. Carson while I escort you and your friend upstairs.""Thank you very much." Jacob grinned and turned to Mr. Bay. "Come on. Let's go.""Yes, yes, of course!" Mr. Bay smiled and nodded, a little nerv

Mr. Bay's friend promptly asked, "Was it the manager, Mr. Carson?""Nope," Mr. Bay chuckled. "Guess again.""Oh, come on!" Mr. Bay's friend whined. "You're still telling me to guess now? Just so you know, those bigwigs were so pleased when I told them we'd have the Golden Room and said they'd be bringing their cards. I'd be laughed at if I didn't give them the details right now!"Mr. Bay laughed. "Alright, alright, I'll quit being mysterious—it's Jacob Wilson, my vice president. He contacted Don Albert of Heaven Springs personally, and the man promised you the Diamond Room and the finest wines of his cellar!""Holy shit!" Mr. Bay's friend gasped. "Mr. Wilson did? For real?! And the Diamond Room on top of that?!""Indeed," Mr. Bay nodded. "And you know me. Would I kid when it comes to such matters?"Mr. Bay's friend breathed a long sigh as if he had just cheated death. "Heavens… Thank you so much, my friend! You've really saved my skin there! You have no idea how much persuasion t

Jacob wasn't really concerned with the invitation. He wouldn't be going anyway, and he wouldn't tell Elaine about it.Right now, he had a question.After hanging up on Walker, he asked curiously, "A designated driver would be just a few dozen bucks at most. Why get Walker?"Mr. Bay sighed meaningfully. "Jacob, my boy—it's not just my job description you must handle when you succeed me. You must understand the unspoken rules of the workplace as well as interpersonal relationships."Raising his right index finger, he chuckled, "Earning the loyalty of subordinates is a science. But it has to be a carrot and stick—never just the carrot, while offering them chances to be of service.""Take Walker, for example. As his boss, buying him lunch is 5 points. Ask for a favor, but it's 50 points instead!""As a leader, you should also make sure to give requests that are reasonable. That way, they will consider you to be their ally, or soon enough.""People are strange that way—psychology sim
