After Jennifer returned to the room and met up with the other two, she saw that their faces were filled with righteous indignation and anger.She quickly asked, “Did you record everything? Don’t drop the ball for me at this time!”Yulia said in exasperation, “Jennifer, the Wilson family is truly evil. You may not have been able to hear what they said from out on the balcony, but Hannah and that damned old woman were cursing at us like crazy!”“That’s right!” Yara also said angrily, “The main point is that Hannah is really evil. Not to mention scolding the three of us, but she also scolded those people who spent money on them in her live broadcast room. Don’t you think that this b*tch is really as bad as one could be?!”Yulia also chimed in and said, “That shameless woman, Hannah, is now starting to think of other deception methods. She asked her husband and son to pretend to have advanced pancreatic cancer and the other to pretend to have uremia. That damned old lady will have a sc
Next, there was only one slightly laborious process left, which was to synchronize the audio and video time tracks so that the audio and video would be synchronized. Fortunately, the video file and the audio file were whole, so Elaine only needed to find one of the clips where it was easier to recognize the mouth shape, then echo the corresponding audio of this clip, and the entire video and the audio would be perfectly matched.Soon, Elaine found a very convenient lip-sync and synchronized the audio and video to perfection. She then previewed the entire video, and after confirming that there were no problems, she exported the video file.After the video was exported, Elaine grinned happily as she reviewed it again.She could not help but sigh and say, “Hannah, oh, Hannah, I really underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. In that case, you will definitely be able to earn a small goal in a year, right? Unexpectedly, you’re really capab
Although Elaine had been on the short video platform for a long time, those boring and casual videos she had posted could barely get ten likes for the longest time.So, when she saw so many likes and comments, she felt as if all of this was not real. She felt as if the slot machine in the casino had suddenly hit three 7s, and the numbers in the amount column kept rolling upward, giving her the illusion as if she was in a dream. However, all of this was real.The content of this video itself was very explosive, and its nature was extremely bad, so ordinary people would feel righteous indignation when they saw it. The number and data on this video were outrageously good because of this!Soon, the number of views quickly exceeded one million, and it took less than five minutes for it to go from one to two million views.According to the background algorithm of the short video platform, this video was the best-performing video on the entire short video platform at the moment.A wo
Meanwhile, Hannah had just arrived at the luxury suite of the five-star hotel.She had already called the hotel’s housekeeper and asked her to prepare a bath for herself as well as to specially put in some imported bath salts and many fresh rose petals when she was on the way here. As soon as she arrived at the hotel, she quickly took off her clothes and soaked in the comfortable jacuzzi.After she took a bath, she made an appointment for an essential oil massage at the hotel. She lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the massage until she fell asleep with a body full of essential oil. For Hannah, this had become the best way for her to relieve fatigue. As a big customer of the hotel, she did not care what would happen to the quilts and bedsheets after they got dirty because no matter how messy she made the room, the place would be cleaned up neatly and would be spotless if she left and came back tomorrow.This was also an important reason why Hannah especially liked stay
The impact on Hannah when she suddenly heard her own voice in the headlines of the news of the internet celebrity being exposed was no different from that of a male netizen downloading a video from an inappropriate website and trembling after seeing his own face in it.Her inner defenses broke down almost instantly, and her whole body slid directly into the bathtub due to her excessive nervousness. She choked on a mouthful of milk-salt-flavored bathtub water. She sat up in a panic and looked at her cell phone again in shock. This time, her eyes opened as wide as a pair of copper bells and her heartbeat seemed to have doubled in an instant!This was an image of herself bossing the members of the Wilson family around to teach them a lesson. Didn’t this just happen more than half an hour to less than an hour ago?!Looking at this angle, this was a sneak shot from a small gap through the balcony curtain. Who had done it?!What’s more, what she could not understand was that the doors
At this time, she could not be bothered by the traffic rules. She only had one thing on her mind, and that was to find Elaine and beat the sh*t out of her until she was dead. Just as Hannah was rushing toward Thompson First, Claire also saw the wave of comments.When she saw what was going on, she handed her cell phone to Charlie immediately and said to him, “Honey, look quickly! It seems that Mom has exposed Aunt Hannah...”Charlie took a look at the video on her cell phone and exclaimed in surprise, “This video looks like it was shot on the balcony outside Hannah’s second floor. How did Mom climb up so high with the condition of her leg?”Claire found Elaine’s short video platform account, pointed to the name of the account, and said to Charlie, “Look at this exposure account. The name is ‘Elaine, the counterfeit fighter’. Isn’t this Mom?”Charlie was stunned for a moment and then smiled as he said, “It seems that Mom must have found an ally... She must have instructed her ally
When Hannah saw that Elaine had pitted her to death and was still flaunting in front of her, Hannah was even more furious, and she trembled with anger!She pointed at Elaine, raised her head, and cursed, “Damn it! You’re not coming down, are you? If you don’t come down, I’ll rush up and throw you off the balcony! I swear that I’m not a human being if I don’t kill you!”Elaine had a disdainful expression as she said, “Oh, you’re really scaring me to death, Hannah. You’re a blackhearted anchor who is lawless and simply wants to earn money. Do you know that trespassing is punishable by imprisonment? If you have the ability, come in and try, and I will call the police now!”Once Hannah heard these words, her arrogance unconsciously wilted for a few minutes.She was smarter than Elaine, and she knew that in this current situation, she could not do anything out of the ordinary except for using her temper to curse at Elaine.Not to mention that trespassing on a private house was a crime,
Hannah clenched her teeth, took off her other shoe, and threw it again. Elaine tilted her head again and dodged it perfectly. She then looked at Hannah and said with a smile, “Oh, you’re treating me as Bush?”Back then, the President of the United States, George Bush, had easily avoided two shoes that were thrown at him by an Iraqi reporter. That scene had always been a classic scene in international news. Now that Elaine had also escaped Hannah’s two combos, she immediately associated herself with Bush.Hannah was really furious. She became short of breath and was dizzy because she was too angry. She then took a few steps back uncontrollably and sat on the ground. She looked at Elaine, who was so mean to be eating melon seeds, and she cried as she said, “Elaine, you’re a bully! Sob... I was finally able to turn my life around for a few days, so why do you have to ruin my life?! Ahh! I’ve been bullied by Lady Wilson all my life and I can finally stand up for myself and call the shots
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! T-
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
