Isaac snorted coldly. “You want to sue this hotel too? Do you know who owns this hotel?”“I don’t give a d*mn about the owner of this hotel.” Daxton curled his lips as he said disdainfully, “Isn’t it just a five-star hotel anyway? Our young master’s family has dozens of these kinds of hotels! Moreover, they are all located in first-tier cities. They cannot even be bothered to come and develop any hotels in this kind of second-tier city!”Isaac was exasperated because of this young man, and he spoke up, “Go. Go and call your young master and tell him that I, Isaac Cameron, personally said that he had undergone cosmetic surgery. If he is not convinced, tell him that I’ll be waiting here for him to sue me. Tell me what your young master is going to say about it.”Daxton was extremely angry, “Are you trying to fool me? Just wait. I’m going to call our young master now!”After he was done speaking, Daxton immediately took out his cell phone as he walked to the side to make a phone call.
As soon as Daxton heard his young master speaking with such confidence, he immediately straightened up his back.He hurriedly walked back as he raised his cell phone up high and said to Isaac, “Our young master wants to ask you something personally!”Isaac frowned in disgust as he said coldly, “Just speak up if you have something to say!”“F*ck!” A young man’s angry voice sounded from the other end of the line, “Who the hell are you?! Do you really not know what is good for yourself? Do you know who I am?!”Isaac sneered and said, “I know. Aren’t you just a singer? I heard that your family spent a lot of money to try and promote you for several years, but you still could not make it to fame. After that, you finally went abroad and changed your face before you finally became famous. Am I right?”“F*ck!” Tom, who was on the other end of the line, was so angry that he could only clench his teeth. “You’re really seeking your death! If you have the guts, why don’t you tell me your name
The captain of the security team immediately said, “Okay, Chairman Cameron!”After he was done speaking, he immediately took out his walkie-talkie and ordered, “All members of the first team, come to the presidential suite now!”When Daxton saw that Isaac was indeed serious, he immediately lowered his stance, and he spoke up as he began pleading, “Chairman Cameron, please do not lower yourself and argue with the likes of me. I’m also just serving my young master, and my young master said that he wanted this presidential suite. So, as his subordinate, that is the reason why I rushed over here to get it done for him. I was too anxious and impatient just now, and that is the reason why there was a disagreement between us. I’m really sorry. Please be the bigger person and be magnanimous…”Isaac sneered and said, “You’re begging for mercy now? It’s too late!”At this time, a dozen security guards quickly ran over.When Daxton and the others saw this scene, they were all so frightened t
There was a mountain range that went on for nearly one hundred kilometers behind the Mount Phoenix Cemetery. Although the urbanization process had been getting faster and faster over the recent years, this kind of deep mountain forest had never been developed much.Moreover, aside from a bunch of bored and foolish travelers, not many people would usually go to that kind of place.It would really not be easy to walk out of the deep mountains on foot. It was said that every now and then, there would be travelers who would be trapped there and could only rely on the rescue team to carry them out one by one. Over time, even the travelers did not dare to go there anymore.It was precisely because it would not be easy to get out that Charlie intended to throw Daxton and the others there.Anyway, Aurous Hill was located in the central plains, and there would not be any man-eating beasts even deep in the forest. They would not die inside even if they did not have any survival abilities.
Charlie then instructed again, “Oh, by the way, since you’ve already said that you’re going to give them a violent beating, you have to wait until they have already signed the contract and taken the video. Do you understand?”“Understood!”Immediately afterward, Daxton and the others were all crying and shouting out loud as they were brought to the rooftop under the security guards’ escort. Very quickly, Shangri-La hotel launched a special survival in the wilderness experience program, and Daxton and the others voluntarily signed the fair and impartial tourism service contract under the careful and watchful eyes of the security guards. They became the first batch of lucky customers who could experience this program for free.As soon as the contract was signed, these people were thrown into the helicopter directly after the security guards beat them up.The back kitchen in the dining department also sent over a bunch of food that was going to be rid of as they were about to expire
Tom, who was also known as the ‘top-class young male singer’, did not even bother to eat lunch as he hurriedly brought several assistants and bodyguards with him to the airport. He wanted to fly to Aurous Hill as soon as possible, and he could not delay it any longer.What was even more uncomfortable was that he basically had no one available for his use anymore in Aurous Hill now.This was because the few people that he had arranged to set out in advance to make all the arrangements could not be contacted at all without exception.So, even if he had to go to Aurous Hill in advance, he did not have anyone who could pick him up after he arrived in Aurous Hill.Although the Zielinski family’s business was quite big, their businesses were almost fully concentrated in North Oskia. They had no involvement in Aurous Hill at all, and they did not have any branches or offices here. So, after he arrived in Aurous Hill, Tom would be just like any other foreign tourists who had come to Auro
Tom would pay at least a few hundred fake fans to meet him at the airport whenever he went out of town. He also had to pay a group of so-called ‘obsessive fans’ to follow him around like crazy. Moreover, his favorite trick was to send out a post to condemn these seemingly crazy fans before spending more money to promote his own post on the internet so that he could harvest a hot search, possibly with the title: ‘Tom Zielinski had been bothered by obsessive fans at a certain place, and he had written a post to condemn them.’He would also make use of this kind of hot search to lure in netizens who were simply passing by before he used a whole bunch of his pictures that had already been retouched as well as songs that had already been auto-tuned to combine with his various talents and hardworking and rich heir personality to turn these passers-by into his fans.This kind of gameplay had already long become a standard operating procedure in the entertainment industry.If any celebrity
At this time, the female assistant held onto her face that was already flushed red after getting slapped as she cried and said, “Young Master, all of these are the work mistakes that Daxton had committed! You cannot vent your anger on me. It’s not fair to me…”“Who the hell cares about fairness?!” Tom was extremely disgusted as he said, “I want you to f*cking solve my problems now, not for you to push the blame to others! I don’t care whether Daxton is dead or alive now! That has nothing to do with me at all. However, you will have to arrange for the matter related to the airport pick up for me! Otherwise, I’ll f*cking teach you a lesson!”The female assistant was frightened by the vicious look on Tom’s face at this time, and she did not dare to come up with any more reasons to defend herself. So, she could only nod in an aggrieved manner as she said, “Okay, Young Master. I’ll try and look for a way to contact the local public relations resources…”Tom instructed, “Remember, I only
Charlie chuckled. "Don't sell yourself short, Mr. Hart. There are plenty of business folk who got so used to their comfort zone that they became caught in the illusion that they can be successful in anything they do. It's a mindset that leads to them blindly developing new projects and new competition, and then they end up losing big."If memory serves, there have been real estate businesses that started mineral water brands, search engines that tried the car industry, e-commerce sites attempting social media, and vice-versa. All of them are multi-billion-dollar companies venturing into new frontiers, but all to unimpressive outcomes."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "You've mentioned rising above the competition amidst the development of the new energy industry. That would get anyone's attention, and it is why I believe that you definitely will make a strong impression with your strategizing and knowledge of the basic principles."Yolden found it hard to refuse, seeing that Charli
Having lost it all, Jacob really looked like he wouldn't be getting back up.But fortunately, he had a pillar in the form of Elaine.In fact, Elaine would serve to be a container, whipping Jacob into shape if he got too full of himself.But on the other hand, now that Jacob was utterly despondent, she would be forcing him to smile and function in general.Elaine's attitude to the entire issue was clear as well. Even though Jacob had just lost his job, she would make him go shopping with her in Dubai even if he fell into a coma. Even if he was dead, she'd just cremate him and bring his ashes along.Hence, with Elaine's firm grip around Jacob's leash, he went on strolls, going shopping and taking selfies with Elaine everyday, eventually easing the toll on his mood and spirit.-Back at Aurous Hill, Charlie was preparing for Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall's wedding as it approached.Yolden was a schoolmate of his mother, Ashley Layna Acker, as well as Charlie's elder.And while Cha
"See you." As soon as Charlie hung up on Matilda, Don Albert's call came right after.He sounded nervous as Charlie answered the phone, saying, "Master Wade, I think I might have gone too far…""Wait, what's this about?" Charlie asked."Your father-in-law, of course…" Don Albert sighed. "You asked me to leave him hanging for a while, so I did. I even refused when he asked to book a room in Heaven Springs.""Well, that's not a problem, is it?" Charlie shrugged. "He and Zachary ganged up for some real mischief. As you are Zachary's boss, it's right that you refused him because you didn't appreciate what he did.""That's just it. I thought that approach was just right as well," Don Albert quickly said. "I wasn't playing nice when Mr. Bay of the Calligraphy and Painting Association called me either. That's when he said he'd try to save Jacob's position as vice-president, but I told him it's none of my business."I then hung up on him without much thought, only for Zachary to tell m
Meanwhile, Charlie was downstairs in Claire's office, waiting to pick her up and head home.That was when Matilda called him, asking as soon as he answered, "Charlie, do you know how Jacob is doing? He never answered any of my texts—is he going to be alright?""I wouldn't know," Charlie replied. "Both he and Elaine are in Dubai on a trip… What's wrong?""He resigned," Matilda sighed. "I only saw the public statement that the Calligraphy and Painting Association posted this afternoon. It says that he tendered the resignation himself, but it doesn't really feel that way. I wonder if he's at odds with other members of the association…"Charlie was actually surprised to hear that Jacob had resigned.He had told Zachary to expose the truth of the bronze sculpture fraud case to teach Jacob a lesson so that Jacob would understand the meaning of true pain.However, he anticipated that Mr. Bay would at least keep Jacob around with an unimportant job even if Jacob did lose some money and e
Falling apart in both mind and spirit, Jacob was crying as he disembarked and took a cab to the hotel.Elaine, who had been lying around for 24 hours, was stunned speechless as she watched him enter, crying like a child.In contrast, Elaine looked like a mother to Jacob just then as he threw himself into her arms and bawled, "Darling… That prick Mr. Bay screwed me over… I have nothing left now…"Taken aback for a moment that Jacob would bawl in her arms like that, Elaine soon came to her senses and patted his back as she comforted him, "Oh, stop crying already. Who cares about some Calligraphy and Painting groupies? We certainly don't! Just hear me out and don't ever go there again!"Jacob kept sobbing, "But I care… I want to go…"Annoyed, Elaine's hand that had been patting Jacob a moment ago slid down to his hip and pinched him viciously before he noticed."Ow!" Jacob yelped in pain, and he demanded indignantly, "What was that for?!""Shut up!" Elaine snapped, glowering. "I wa
Jacob couldn't even be bothered by the looks others were giving him, and he called Mr. Bay immediately.Mr. Bay had already gone home and was seated on the couch with his wife, watching his phone and waiting for Jacob to call and demand an explanation.Mr. Bay knew that he had to answer for this and that if he avoided Jacob, it may well be a confession that he had screwed Jacob over.So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to come clean with Jacob.Naturally, by coming clean, he meant passing the buck as his wife had suggested.Hence, as he answered Jacob's call, he immediately sighed in embarrassment, "Hey, Jacob. I'm so sorry about that…"However, Jacob was so furious he immediately started bellowing, "Mr. Bay! Are you fucking with me here?! You said that the resignation letter was more of a formality, but you just made it public instead! So, all those things you said about helping me were just a trap, was it?! You're despicable! And to think I've been so good to you, even
The repeated flights had left Jacob tormented.Even before he actually had the time to enjoy Dubai, he had already gotten sick of the place and didn't want to ever return.And on the flight, he couldn't stop his thoughts from going astray.Now that he was not getting back the money he had lost, his only hope was Mr. Bay.Fortunately, Mr. Bay was serious about his promise that he would at least save him a job as department head. That was why, despite his thoughts running astray, he never considered the thought that he would be kicked out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.As soon as his flight landed, he didn't wait to turn off his phone's flight mode, waiting for the internet connection to return so that he could ask Mr. Bay about the meeting.Once he did, he received a ton of messages from public accounts to acquaintances—many had already found out that he had resigned from the post of administrative vice-president and wanted to ask how he was doing.And Matilda was
The Calligraphy and Painting Association was certainly efficient—soon after the meeting was dismissed, the news that the administrative vice-president had resigned was posted on their official page and social media.The notice was simple and never mentioned what Jacob had done, only that the administrative vice-president had asked to resign for personal reasons. The request had since been voted upon, and all members had agreed to it.And that was how a simple and short message kicked Jacob out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association entirely.In the city, other associations closely connected with the Calligraphy and Painting Association were the various cultural societies and circles of antique enthusiasts and the Senior University. In fact, most fans of the public page of the Calligraphy and Painting Association were from the Senior City, and every lecturer, student, and even guest lecturer were subscribed.As a matter of fact, that was entirely Jacob's doing. After his lect
There weren't that many members in the Calligraphy and Painting Association—just a handful over twenty.Hence, at Mr. Bay's request, everyone showed up at the conference at 1 pm.He chose the afternoon as there were a handful who were away on outreach, including Walker, who was subbing for Jacob's lectures.Once the entire Calligraphy and Painting Association save for Jacob was informed of the mandatory meeting, every member was there on the hour, seated primly and in attention in the huge conference room.Mr. Bay didn't waste his breath on the preamble either—as soon as he saw that everyone had arrived, he announced, "Everyone, I've gathered you here today because our administrative vice-president, Jacob Wilson, has been alleged to be involved in a certain malicious scheme."Last night, Mr. Wilson submitted his resignation to me, and after a discussion with my vice-presidents, we've all decided to hold a vote. It will be open to every member in the association as we will be decid
