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
"Fuck!" When Jacob heard what Charlie said, he was horrified. He nervously asked, "Matilda isn't going to come to our house to deliver the invitation, is she? If Elaine finds out that I've been hiding Matilda's return from her all this time, I'll be so dead!" Charlie, having long seen through Jacob, knew he would never escape the shadow and claws of Elaine. He shook his head and said, "Whether they'll invite you, I have no way of knowing. If you're worried, you can tell Matilda that you don't want to be invited to her wedding and that you don't want to go." Jacob sighed. "That's just a temporary solution. Even if she doesn't know now, she'll probably find out sooner or later. A lot of our mutual friends already know about Matilda's return. You went to the gathering too. But those friends are not really in contact with Elaine, so she hasn't found out yet." Charlie smiled and said, "Matilda's return to the country was at a pretty sensitive time. If I'm not mistaken, she came b
Jacob then realized that Charlie was also driving a Rolls-Royce, and it was a more expensive Phantom. Surprised, he asked, "Charlie, where did you get this car?" Marilyn had prepared the car for Charlie when he left Scarlet Pinnacle Manor. He had driven it to Thompson First, so he had decided to use it today. Charlie replied, "A client lent it to me. You sounded urgent, so I drove it over." Then, he added, "You're something else. You're crying like a baby yet you're still in the mood to ask about the car. What's going on? Your friend said you'd cried twice already?" "That bloody Simon!" Hearing this, Jacob became furious and cursed, "He still doesn't have the slightest clue! He's such a damned fool! The more I try to avoid him, the more he keeps blabbering on and on. Argh, he's so stupid!" Charlie asked, "What exactly is bothering you?" Jacob's face instantly turned dejected, and with a long sigh, he choked up and said, "Charlie— Matilda— She's getting married—" "Gettin
Things were a little different and unique in the United States, though. Westerners tended to approach marriage with greater caution. Many couples stayed together for years, had several children, and yet remained as boyfriend and girlfriend. Being together, having children, and raising them jointly didn't necessarily mean they would get married. In fact, it was not uncommon for some to walk down the aisle only after having multiple kids. Because of this environment, elderly couples in the West often limited their relationships to dating, and at most, cohabitation. Very few progressed to the stage of marriage. However, Yolden, like a young man in the throes of passionate love, had invited her on a trip, secretly prepared a proposal ceremony by the seaside, and gotten down on one knee with a ring to propose. These actions deeply moved Matilda and, at the same time, gave her an unprecedented sense of security. Now, Yolden had moved their wedding up a big step and set the date just on
Hearing Jacob's tone, Charlie could tell that Jacob must have already learned about Matilda's plans to marry Yolden. So, Charlie said, "I'm just around the corner. I'll head over now, and we can meet at the gate." Choking up, Jacob replied, "Alright, I won't drive then. I'll wait for you at the gate. Hurry!" "Okay," Charlie agreed, but after hanging up, he deliberately waited for a few minutes. It was because Yolden had just left moments ago to pick up Matilda at Senior University. If Charlie had gone there right now, all four of them could have run into each other at the gate, which would make things even more awkward. Charlie wasn't worried about feeling awkward himself—he was more concerned about Jacob being further hurt. After intentionally waiting a bit, Charlie finally drove to the university. Just as Charlie drove toward Senior University, Matilda was waiting for Yolden by the roadside at the entrance of Senior University. At this moment, Jacob stumbled out of th
Charlie asked, "There are too many new domestic energy brands now. Do you think they still have a shot in vehicle manufacturing?" "Of course," Yolden affirmed. "There are indeed many new energy brands now, and many of them are struggling on the edge of survival. A lot of them have already disappeared, but the automotive market is so vast, and new energy vehicles only account for a small portion of it, which proves that the future of new energy still has great potential. Now, if the focus is only on competing with other new energy brands, the scale is indeed a bit small. The scope should be broadened to compete with traditional gasoline vehicle manufacturers. If you can cut Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai's global sales in half, that would truly be a giant." Yolden paused for a moment, almost as if remembering something, and then said, "Actually, you could consider researching this field. You don't lack money or resources, and with Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group as your logistics channe
When Jacob came to his senses, he was already in tears. The student presumed he was unwell and asked, "Mr. Wilson, do you want me to call your wife to pick you up?" Elaine's sarcastic face immediately popped up in his mind, and he trembled with fear. He quickly wiped away his tears and stammered, "D-don't bother... I... I just got something in my eyes..." The student obviously didn't believe him and asked worriedly, "Why don't you call your wife? Or I'll call a cab for you." "No, no." Jacob waved his hand and said, "I'll call my son-in-law to pick me up. He has just returned to Aurous Hill, so it shouldn't be a problem." After that, he quickly took out his phone and called Charlie. Just a few minutes ago, Charlie had left the cafe and was about to walk Yolden to his car. When he saw Yolden walking straight toward a domestic new energy vehicle, he asked curiously, "I don't think you were driving this model before, were you?" "I just bought it," Yolden replied with a smil
If Matilda still had feelings for Jacob, his nostalgic strategy would definitely have a strong impact. However, Matilda had already decided to move on, so Jacob's suggestion did not stir any emotions in her at all. With an apologetic smile, she said, "Sorry, Jacob, Yolden is downstairs waiting for me. We have something to discuss. How about another day? We can have dinner together, and I'll treat you." Jacob didn't expect the nostalgia strategy to fall flat. His original plan was to use nostalgia to get Matilda to go with him to eat near the school, then take the opportunity to revisit old places and subtly reignite their past memories. After all, revisiting old places was the best way to rekindle old feelings, no exceptions. It was like drinking the pasta water after cooking the pasta. However, he never imagined that Matilda's expression wouldn't change in the slightest. There was no shyness, no hesitation, no nervousness, and certainly no fluttering heart. She simply and
Matilda had been listening attentively before, but now, she was lowering her head, fiddling with her phone, and her expression even carried a hint of shyness and happiness, like that of a young girl. Jacob felt a pang of jealousy. While doing the presentation, he couldn't help but resentfully think to himself, "What has Matilda been chatting about with that Yolden guy? She's so happy..." At that moment, Matilda had just received a message from Yolden. In the message, Yolden informed her of the outcome of his conversation with Charlie and expressed his desire to have the wedding as soon as possible. Seeing how eager her beloved was to marry her, Matilda naturally felt very touched. At that moment, she had completely fallen into Yolden's love. For this man, who had a similar background, education, values, and even lifestyle to her own, she could find no fault with him. She felt that he was perfectly tailor-made for her by heaven itself, almost as if everything about him perfectly m
Charlie's worries were not unfounded. He had long known that Jacob had not completely given up on Matilda despite her relationship with Yolden. After returning from the cultural exchange in Korea, Jacob had been more dejected than ever before—something he hadn't even displayed when his family had gone bankrupt. If there was still a chance to salvage the relationship when one's beloved was merely dating someone else, their marriage was tantamount to a death sentence. Furthermore, considering the high intellectual backgrounds of Matilda and Yolden as well as their age and life experience, their decision to marry at this stage of life undoubtedly signaled their intention to build a long-term future together. This left Jacob with absolutely no chance at all. At this moment, Jacob was blissfully unaware of the devastating news and was busy conducting a calligraphy and painting workshop at Senior University. The so-called workshop was essentially a few slides showcasing classic
