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
Just as the female assistant thought that she was already driven into a corner and was at her wit’s end, one of her old classmates in Aurous Hill sent her a WhatsApp business card and a voice message saying: “Maya, you should hurry up and add the contact from the business card that I’ve just sent to you. Her name is Wendy Wilson, and she is the general manager of Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation in Aurous Hill.”“This woman is not simple, and she has at least five to six hundred local hostesses under her control. More than half of the full-time hostesses in Aurous Hill have already signed a contract with her company. In addition, many part-time hostesses get their jobs from her. I believe that you will be able to resolve your needs by looking for her. If she is unable to help you solve your problem, I guess that there is really no one in Aurous Hill who will be able to help you solve your problem, then. After all, it is not easy to find two to three hundred young and beautiful g
Wendy was a little dumbfounded after listening to this voice message.She had already been working as a hostess for quite a long time, and she had also been operating Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation for quite some time. She had received all kinds of activities, but she had never accepted this kind of job where they would have to be impersonating fans to pick a celebrity up at the airport.So, Wendy replied apologetically: “Sorry, Miss Calbot, but we have not done this kind of business before, and we are not very good at it. I’d advise you to look for a professional company specializing in this area to collaborate with you instead so that we do not affect your business.”Maya immediately became very anxious when she heard these words.Look for a professional company specializing in this area?!It was not that there were no professional companies, but all of them would have to prepare all their resources in advance!Not to mention the fact that she could not find the headhun
Maya instantly felt extremely helpless inside.She looked at Tom, who was aside, as she subconsciously asked, “Young Master, what do you think we’re going to do about this, then?”Tom had a very dark expression on his face. He truly did not expect that the other party would still turn the job down even when he had already offered this price.So, he subconsciously regarded Wendy’s decision as her way of taking advantage of someone who was in need to overcharge him.Tom then ground his teeth and said coldly, “D*mn it! It is just because she wants to get more money! Tell her that we will not continue talking nonsense with her anymore. Just raise the price to six hundred thousand dollars!”Maya quickly sent a voice message to Wendy: “Chairman Wilson, would it be okay if we raised the remuneration to six hundred thousand dollars, then?”Wendy was indeed a little tempted.It was a working day today, and it was Tuesday. Most of the workload for a company like theirs which specialized i
Wendy was never a sweet nor foolish girl. Although she had not done much business before, it could be said that she had also experienced the sadness in this world over the past one to two years. So, she was very clear about the basic rule of survival in society now, and that was to do her best to fight for her own interests.Moreover, Wendy was not alone now, and she had hundreds of young girls who were looking up to her and following her to make ends meet. So, Wendy naturally wanted to fight for more benefits on everyone’s behalf. When Maya heard that Wendy wanted one million dollars, she subconsciously looked at Tom, who was aside, immediately.She was just Tom’s personal assistant. So, whether this sum of money should be spent or not was completely dependent on Tom’s intention.The expression on Tom’s face was extremely ugly at this time.He ground his teeth and said, “This Wendy Wilson really has a big appetite! She actually dares to ask me for one million dollars for such a
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
