"Mister Grimston, Miss Underwood, I haven't lost my mind. You two are just ignorant and don't know how powerful Cynthion Group's alchemical pills are. So long as Mister Wolf is okay with it, I'm at his service even if the price of this jadeite doubles," Arron said calmly. Cynthion Group had great potential and multiple families fought for the chance to partner with Hugh, including the Rathbournes. Both Arron and his grandfather were present outside Leon's room at the time. Unfortunately, Leon told the Dagleshs and the Morrisons to stay in the end and intended to select one family from these two to work with. Arron was quite disappointed that the Rathbournes were not given the chance, but an opportunity presented itself. Both the Dagleshs and the Morrisons wanted to work with Cynthion Group and Hugh was not in any hurry to make his decision. There were no good news of the Dagleshs or the Morrisons forming a partnership with Cynthion Group. So long as the partnership was not co
"It's fine. Mister Rathbourne, Miss Morrison, thank you for your offering. But I can afford this, so I won't need your help." Leon shook his head. Like Renee, he could tell that Arron was merely plotting to obtain a chance to work with Cynthion Group. Since both the Morrisons and the Dagleshs were incredibly genuine, he was yet to make a decision. He did not wish to owe yet another family a favor as it was merely complicated things. Since both Cynthion Group and Elegante Group were extremely profitable, he was not short of money and did not need help from Arron or Renee. "Well, alright then." Arron was slightly disappointed. Renee already expected that Leon would reject their help, so she was not surprised. "Mister Wolf doesn't even care about spending 50 million! It seems like there's more to him than we expected!"...The crowd gasped when Leon refused help. Though a lot of them were from wealthy backgrounds, most of them were merely merchants and not from prestigio
Then, Leon proceeded to pay. Since 50 million was a big amount and there was a limit to personal transactions, Leon used his card in the shop and had the staff transfer the money to Rickon instead. After the payment was completed, Leon obtained the green jadeite and the bidding came to an end. "Mister Grimston, Miss Underwood, Hugh has already paid. Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Renee turned to Bucky and Aurelia mockingly. In an attempt to provoke Renee, Aurelia worked with Bucky to undermine Leon.Now, the tables turned. Leon proved that his financial capability surpassed that of Aurelia and Bucky, and he succeeded in purchasing the green jadeite. Renee was always and there was no way that she could simply let what Bucky and Aurelia did slide. "Yeah!""These two are so weird. Mister Wolf has the money and just wants to buy the jadeite, yet they pick on him and mock him for not having enough money. How arrogant!"...The crowd around them agreed along and
"Mister Rathbourne, thank you for your help!" Leon smiled and thanked Arron once Aurelia and Bucky left. Back when Aurelia and Bucky picked on him, Arron stood up for him and even offered to help pay. Leon would not forget what he did."You're welcome, Mister Wolf. It's not that big a deal," Arron smiled. Though Leon did not let him pay, his act of kindness started a friendship. Given Cynthion Group's potential, befriending Hugh would surely benefit the Rathbournes. "Alright. Hugh, now that we've bought the jadeite you need, let's go!" Renee changed the subject. "Oh, sure! Mister Rathbourne, we'll be on our way, then!" Leon said. "Drive safe," Arron said and watched as Leon and Renee left the rock gambling area. "Looks like the Morrisons will be selected as Cynthion Group's partner!" He sighed as he watched their retreating figures. As far as he knew, the Morrisons and the Dagleshs were still competing against one another for the right to work with Cynthion Group. Ho
"Here's the thing, I'd like to have this green jadeite cut into nineteen plates of equal sizes. I wonder if there's any expert you know who can help me with it. I'll pay the service charge," Leon said. Though cutting jadeite was not all that challenging, it would be more appropriate to have an expert perform the task. "Sure. That's not a problem! Please give me a moment and I'll call an expert over now," the saleswoman said. Then, she went to the back of the shop and returned with an expert, who divided the green jadeite into nineteen pieces according to Leon's request. Once it was done, the saleswoman even took out a few beautiful gift boxes to pack the jadeite plates up, before handing them to Leon. "Sir, is there anything else you need?" she asked with a smile. "Not really! By the way, my name is Hugh Wolf. What's yours?" Leon asked. "Oh, hello, Mister Wolf. My name is Harley Stoll."The saleswoman had a good impression of Leon and Renee, so she did not hesitate to an
"What? Mister Wolf, you want to hire me as the vice president and you are paying me 300 thousand a year? Am I hearing you right?" Harley was shocked and could not believe what she was hearing. She was just a saleswoman in the shop and was not paid much. Her monthly income would often be around a thousand a month even when she included commissions and bonuses. She was too young and graduated from university just two years ago. Without much experience and background, she was already fortunate that she found a job. Though the pay was not satisfactory, she was content. To her surprise, she found herself encountering great fortune. Leon intended to hire her as the vice president for the western region branch of Cynthion Group and even offered to pay her 300 thousand a year. It was an amount that someone like her would never imagine earning, so she was shaken to the core. If she had not heard him in person, she would never have believed it to be true. "You heard me right! I
"Looks like Hugo was right after all. Hugh's planning to build a branch for Cynthion Group here," Renee was excited as she watched Hugh and Harley exchange numbers. Hugo predicted that Hugh was not just in the western region to expand the market but also to establish a branch in the area. To obtain the opportunity to work with Cynthion Group, Hugo started making arrangements the day before, hoping to acquire a pharmaceutical firm before Hugh did so. Seeing as Hugh hired Harley as the vice president of the western region branch, Renee realized that he was preparing for the establishment of the new branch. This simply proved just how perceptive Hugo was. So long as Hugo managed to purchase a pharmaceutical firm and resolve a major concern for Hugh, Hugh would likely decide to work with the Morrisons. That way, all problems would be resolved. Leon did not know what was on Renee's mind, nor was he aware that Hugo was helping to acquire a pharmaceutical firm. Once he exchang
"Miss Morrison, let's cut to the chase. This kid raised the price of the clear jadeite and had me pay 9 million for it. He then competed against me for the green jadeite and embarrassed me in front of everyone. It's about time we settle the scores!" Bucky said and glared maliciously at Leon. For someone of his status, there was no way that he would accept having a mere vice president embarrass him and Aurelia in public. After leaving the shop, both Bucky and Aurelia were extremely upset. Hence, they decided to wait outside the shop to teach Leon a lesson when he came out. Otherwise, their anger could not be appeased. "Settle the scores? What a joke! Bucky, you and Miss Underwood are the ones who picked fights with Leon and competed with him over the jadeites he wanted! Yet, here you're blaming him for embarrassing you in public! Don't you think you are way out of line here?" Renee laughed angrily. "So what if I'm out of line? Whoever has the most power gets the say! Out of resp
