Charlie’s words caused Shawn to have a stunned expression.It was the first time he had heard such remarks. If someone else had said these words, he would have scoffed as he would have thought that the other party was just being hypocritical. In Hong Kong, where the entertainment industry was very developed, which rich man would not want to get involved in the entertainment industry and have some scandals with celebrities of the opposite sex? There were even a few who would marry celebrities. However, Charlie felt that it was a disgrace to be related to the entertainment industry, and this was obviously not in line with reality. Still, Shawn thought about it carefully, and he immediately discovered a very surprising fact. In Hong Kong, those who really liked to get involved with celebrities were often the rich heirs.On the contrary, those self-made rich men who had started from nothing never paid any attention to the entertainment industry at all. These cases often hap

As he spoke, he could hear the faint whirring of the airplane engine over the phone on Kathleen’s end of the line. So, he asked, “Miss Fox, are you on the plane now?” “Yes.” Kathleen hurriedly said, “I was just about to report to you that I’m also rushing over to Hong Kong with Jarvis in order to ensure that Mr. Campbell’s repatriation is foolproof. Our plane is expected to arrive in Hong Kong at 2:30 pm. Although we will be landing half an hour later, since Mr. Campbell will have to go through the handover procedure at customs, we should be leaving the customs one step ahead of Mr. Campbell.”Charlie could not help but sigh as he said, “Miss Fox, you’ve already helped me a lot in this matter. There’s no need for you to go through so much trouble.”Kathleen said without hesitation, “Mr. Wade, you’re being too serious. You have been so kind to me, and this is the only thing that I can do for you. How could it be any trouble at all?”In truth, Kathleen also knew that since Charlie w

When Shawn heard Charlie agreeing to his request, he was inwardly excited beyond measure. The richest people he had ever met in his life were the Laine family from Hong Kong.However, the Laine family was nothing compared to the Fox family.Therefore, Shawn felt that it would be a huge breakthrough for himself if he could have the opportunity to get acquainted with the Fox family. So, he said happily to Charlie with great enthusiasm, “Mr. Wade, we will go to the restaurant for lunch later. I’ll ask my wife to go over and make all the preparations in advance first. Marianne will also be coming over to join us for lunch. After we’re done eating lunch, I will get my wife to come with me to bring you to the airport to meet Miss Fox!”Charlie nodded and said, “That sounds like a reasonable arrangement. We will do as you’ve said, then.”Shawn smiled and asked again, “By the way, Mr. Wade, where is Miss Fox going to stay when she comes to Hong Kong this time? I remember that the Fox f

Anyway, his battle with Shawn would begin the moment Janus came out of the airport customs in the afternoon. So, there was nothing wrong with having Shawn’s wife around to witness it.However, Charlie did not want Marianne to tag along.After all, after getting along with Charlie over the past two days, he had gotten to know Marianne better. He did not want her to have to personally witness his conflict with her own father. What’s more, Charlie had been concealing something when he came to Hong Kong and approached Shawn this time. So, he too did not want to tear off his disguise in front of Marianne. According to his plan, he would no longer have any further contact with Shawn and the Long family after dealing with all the problems properly at the airport. His intersection with Marianne would also come to an end after this meal.Marianne did not know what Charlie was thinking. She had originally hoped that she would be able to go together with them, and it did not matter who the

2:00 pm.Janus’s flight landed at Hong Kong Airport on time.At this time, Janus was sitting in the window seat, and he had mixed feelings.He had been away from Hong Kong for too long, and the scenery outside the window no longer felt familiar to him. The only thing that he was familiar with was the traditional characters of the Hong Kong dialect that could be seen everywhere. These traditional characters of the Hong Kong dialect reminded him that he had finally returned to his hometown after twenty years. However, what he regretted was that he probably would not have the opportunity to get reacquainted with Hong Kong which he had left behind for twenty years now. His life would probably begin entering a countdown the moment he landed in Hong Kong.At this time, a male flight attendant came over to him and reminded him, “Mr. Campbell, according to the regulations, you should not get off the plane immediately. You’ll have to wait for all the other passengers to get off the plan

Meanwhile, Charlie, Shawn, and Jenna had also arrived at Hong Kong Airport. The convoy stopped outside the arrival hall of Hong Kong Airport, and Shawn then said to Charlie excitedly, “Mr. Wade, Miss Fox should be arriving soon, right?”Charlie looked at the time and said indifferently, “Almost. There are ten more minutes.”Shawn smiled and asked, “Do you think we should wait in the car or wait inside?”Charlie said casually, “Go inside and wait.”After saying that, he opened the car door first and got out of the car.Shawn was about to get out of the car when the driver turned around and said in a low voice, “Boss, I’ve just received news that Janus has already entered customs.” “Oh, he has already arrived?” Shawn nodded and muttered, “To be honest, I would really like to meet that b*stard and see what f*cking state he is in now... But my wife is here today, so it’d be better for us to try not to meet him.”The driver hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade said that Miss Fox will be arri

Although Shawn and Jenna had already reached the tip of the pyramid in Hong Kong, they were still far behind in terms of the world.The strength of the Fox family was already no longer on the list of ordinary rich people. Instead, their strength already belonged to that of the hidden top wealthy families. Their comprehensive strength was countless times stronger compared to Shawn. Kathleen was also the head of the Fox family, and this was even more unattainable to Shawn and Jenna. At this moment, their mentality was that of the mentality of the richest man in a small county who had finally gotten the opportunity to meet with the richest man in the country. In addition to being extremely excited, they were also inevitably nervous at this time. On the contrary, Charlie was in a very relaxed state, and he had his hands in his pockets as he swaggered into the arrival hall.Many people had come to pick others up in the arrival hall at this time, but Jenna did not put on her sunglass

Both of them looked at each other with shock and disbelief in their eyes.They had originally thought that Kathleen was Charlie’s friend, but unexpectedly, Kathleen was actually humbling herself in front of Charlie. She was even addressing Charlie respectfully and saying that it was her honor to share Charlie’s worries. This was a little too humble, and it seemed more like a subordinate’s tone and attitude toward her boss. Neither one of them could understand why Kathleen, who was the head of the Fox family, would be so humble toward Charlie. At this time, Charlie then said to Kathleen, “Miss Fox, let me introduce you to two of my friends.”Having said that, he pointed at Shawn, who was next to him, and said, “This is the famous Shawn Long from Hong Kong, and the one next to him is his wife, Jenna Fuller.”Kathleen was shocked as soon as she heard their names. She knew that Charlie had come to Hong Kong this time in order to help Janus solve his problem. Besides, she also kn

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

Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl

As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam

Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh

The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office

On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…
