Henry Moore’s eyebrows twitched. “You’re having a cold. You should see a doctor.”???What?Shaun froze. He found this scarier than an angry Chairman Moore.Was there a second meaning to the chairman’s words?Did he mean it literally?A doctor?Shaun was perplexed. “I’m fine, I had a late night so my throat is acting up. We need to go to the airport, there’s no time to see a doctor.”“Why are you shaking? Are you scared of me?” Henry commented as he stared coldly at Shaun. His gaze softened when he looked at his phone and typed out a reply to Monique, [Rest early.]She had said she missed him, and her racing heart felt as if it would jump out of her chest right then. There was no feedback from the other end.Henry Moore’s handsome face appeared in her mind. Those black eyes that were darker than night watched her like a hawk. She imagined his jaw opening like a snake as he threatened to swallow her whole. Monique was startled by the imagery and threw her phone aside.She onl
Angel gave her mother a peck on the forehead and bid her goodbye. “Bye, Mommy. Remember to pick me up later.”Monique stared lovingly at her daughter. The makeup she put on in the morning gave her a youthful appearance. “See you later, Angel.”Miss Sophia noticed that Monique was reluctant to leave even after Angel went into the building. She said, “Miss Xander, don’t worry. The teachers will take good care of your daughter.”Monique smiled at the teacher and said, “Thank you for yesterday. I’m sorry I needed to leave abruptly.”Miss Sophia remembered Mrs. Whitman’s words from yesterday. She did not blame Angel’s mother for feeling uncomfortable. “Don’t worry, Miss Xander. I feel a certain connection with you. If you don’t mind, I hope we can be friends.”“Of course. I would love to have you as a friend. Let’s chat another day, I have to get to work.” Monique was glad she found a friend in Miss Sophia. “Sure. Have a safe journey,” said Miss Sophia.The conversation with Miss So
Monique blushed as she answered, “My name is Monique Xander. I don’t know what position I’m applying for.”It was a ludicrous answer. An applicant who did not know what position she was applying for?Manager Harper stared at the woman.“Can you repeat yourself?” He needed confirmation. Was his ears or his eyes malfunctioning?The woman in his office was soft-spoken and polite. She was unlike her cousin, Yvonne Xander, who came by the day before.He imagined the woman to be foxy and melodramatic.Maybe someone arrogant and snobbish…Manager Harper stole a few glances downstairs but his short-sightedness meant all he saw was a blurry silhouette.The request made Monique nervous. She took a deep breath and said, “Hi, my name is Monique Xander. I was told by the chairman to report here.”Monique explained the situation in hopes to avoid an awkward situation.Manager Harper smiled knowingly and said, “You’re the chairman’s…Yes, the chairman did inform me about your arrival. Why do
Manager Harper was distraught. “Miss Xander, is it too hot? Let me add some ice.”He was anxious about the woman’s visit. She was a good actress as she kept up the innocent front while he panicked like a headless chicken.Monique placed the coffee on the table and smiled awkwardly. “It’s alright. I’ll let it cool down. I came for a job. Can you suggest a position that would suit me?” She looked expectantly at the man with a smile on her face.Manager Harper felt his legs tremble. They were back on topic after a slight detour. He saluted the woman’s commitment to the act.Monique was the only one seated. The power dynamics were clear.“What position interests you?” Manager Harper said with his trembling voice.“I don’t know. I was hoping you could tell me,” said Monique with a sheepish smile on her face.She did not have any office experience. Hence, she did not have much of an idea on what jobs would suit her. She turned to look at the person in charge.Only then did she realiz
The question took Monique by surprise. She forgot her resume!Her eyebrows knitted into a scowl. She chewed her lips and asked, “I’m so sorry. I forgot the document. Do you have a blank template I can fill in?”Manager Harper regretted asking the question. The woman was personally hired by the chairman. He did not need to ask her for a resume. She could be the future spouse of the chairman. How could he be so reckless?However, he knew next to nothing about the woman without a resume.The silence in the room made Monique’s heart race. She clenched her fist as she was hoping for the worst.Manager Harper inconspicuously wiped the sweat off his brows and said, “It’s fine. Just fill up this employee induction form.”Employee induction!“I’m hired?” A smile tugged at Monique’s lips. Her bright eyes stared hopefully at the man.“Of course. You can come in anytime,” said Manager Harper as he nodded.“What will I do then?” Monique was eager to know.Manager Harper was at a loss. He
The chairman’s secretary?Was it Henry Moore’s request?She explicitly told him she would not work in the chairman’s office.Monique felt the vein on her temple throb. “Did Henry Moore ask for this? I refuse.”Henry Moore!Manager Harper was shocked to hear her speak the chairman’s name so casually.It was the first time he heard anyone refer to the chairman by his name.The chairman’s secretary was the highest position Manager Harper could think of.He looked at Monique’s resolute expression and asked, “Then what do you suggest?” There were many positions in the company and he truly did not know what she wanted.“I have no experience working in a company. I don’t know what I can do, but I definitely will not be the chairman’s secretary. I just want to learn,” she insisted.Henry must have instructed the manager to treat her well. Why else would he be so hospitable?She should be upfront about what she wanted.Manager Harper was surprised by the woman’s sincerity. The smile
Monique gave the secretary a smile. Charlotte realized she was staring and quickly excused herself.“Charlotte, hold up,” Manager Harper said.“Yes, Manager Harper?”“Harper…Manager Harper?” Monique stared wide-eyed at the heavyset man who welcomed her with exaggerated hospitality.Did she miss the introduction?How did she not realize the bespectacled man was a manager?She was ashamed of herself.Charlotte understood the surprise on the woman’s face and said, “Yes. He is Manager Harper. Is there a problem?”“No, no problem.” Monique turned away to hide her embarrassment.She pressed her fingers to her temple. That was humiliating…She allowed the manager to make her coffee.Monique wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.The secretary watched the woman with an amused expression.“Charlotte, don’t stare. Get me the company’s organization chart,” Manager Harper said curtly.Charlotte was taken aback by Manager Harper’s tone. He was rarely a strict boss but in front o
Manager Harper was shocked. He wanted nothing more than to treat her as a normal employee. However, she was the chairman’s woman. The chairman rang him up in the middle of the night to ensure he let her pick whatever job she wanted.One word from her could end his career if anything went wrong.Manager Harper smiled and said, “Sure. Have a look at this and see if any position interests you. I will make the appropriate arrangements.”Charlotte’s jaw dropped after hearing that.Unimaginable!Such privilege was not even extended to Chairman Moore’s relatives.The woman was not to be messed with.Monique let out a sigh. Her words did not have an effect on the man. She looked through the document.The various positions in the company were detailed clearly—the management, subordinates and the multiple departments were listed accordingly.Monique began from the bottom of the food chain.She wanted to be in a department where she could pick up new skills. While she could technically
"Monique, don't cry..." Su Chen's blood kept gushing out from the wound, and he felt colder and colder.He even felt difficult to raise his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Monique's eyes."Brother, stop talking. The ambulance will come soon!" Monique reached out her hands to press the wound for him, trying to slow down the bleeding.But the blood kept flowing out from between her fingers...Su Chen shook his head, indicating for Monique to stop wasting her energy."Monique... you really... ahem, don't you remember me?" Su Chen was struggling to even say a word."What?" Monique didn't understand what he meant."I saw you... when you were very young... Have you forgotten? You promised to be... my bride..."Su Chen's words made Monique frown. She didn't remember making such an agreement with someone.Bai Bingbing was shocked by Su Chen's words.It turned out that the little girl Su Chen had mentioned to her was Monique!That was the only time Su Chen had mentioned hi
Monique, whom the two men had been longing for, was found by Bai Bingbing."Miss. Bai, why are you here?"Monique had never seen her since Gu Linbei's wedding.Today, Bai Bingbing made Monique feel very strange.Bai Bingbing, who appeared in front of others, always had delicate makeup and was talking and laughing.However, today's Bai Bingbing had a plain face, and she had not even taken care of her hair.For a moment, she was worried that Bai Bingbing would come to her because of something."I have something to talk to Mrs. Moore alone. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"Bai Bingbing's words made Monique instinctively miss her because of Su Chen.However, Henry had repeatedly warned her not to be with Su Chen alone."Is it possible that he has something to do with Su Chen?"Monique thought about it and made an appointment with Bai Bingbing at a crowded cafe.She also sent a message to Henry.By the time Henry received the message, Su Chen had already arrived at Su Ente
"Monique didn't come." Henry spoke as he could read Su Chen's mind without hesitation.Su Chen didn't care and looked away calmly.He looked at Su Zhenxing and the man beside him.He was really Su Zhenxing's partner, the secretary of Su Chen's biological father, David."When did David return?" Su Chen's tone was gentle and normal, as if he was really chatting with them."I just arrived last night." David answered Su Chen, but her eyes were full of worry."Chen, did you really do this?" Su Zhenxing looked at Su Chen and asked sadly."Yes!" Su Chen did not know what Su Zhenxing was asking.But no matter what they were, they had something to do with him.From the time he was adopted by Su Chen, to the time he returned to his country and met Monique, to the time he met Henry.Even the kidnapping of Monique abroad was arranged by him alone.Therefore, no matter what Su Zhenxing was asking about, Su Chen would agree.Su Zhenxing had a lot to say to Su Chen, but he didn't know whe
This was not the worst result.Just as Bai Bingbing was cleaning up the mess and trying to minimize their losses to the minimum.Henry suddenly launched a general attack. Several companies outside Su Chen's company provinces were suppressed by Marriott International at the same time.Su Chen had long known that these companies under his name had been discovered by Henry.If that was all, Su Chen wouldn't be worried.However, the person under Su Chen's hand had just called.Su Chen's overseas businesses had been maliciously sold before the stock market was closed.Now that the stock market had been closed, it was impossible for them to buy it immediately.During this period of closing, their stock price would continue to decline.If they couldn't buy those shares as soon as possible before the trading tomorrow.They could only be controlled by others.Su Chen didn't even need to think that who did this to him.He didn't expect Henry to do like this.This was Su Chen's final
Gu Linbei couldn't sense the mixed feelings in Gu Shaohuan's heart.He handed over the results of his efforts in the morning to the Hui family."From today on, the Gu family has nothing to do with me anymore. I have nothing to do with the Gu family anymore."At this moment, Gu Linbei was secretly glad that he was not a good-for-nothing rich second generation in order to prove to his family with Henry.He had secretly saved up his personal savings so that he could speak so confidently in front of Gu Shaohuan at this moment.Gu Shaohuan thought that Gu Linbei would suffer a lot after leaving the Gu family.This kind of revenge just happened to calm down.He didn't expect Gu Linbei to appear in front of him in such a powerful state.Gu Shaohuan didn't want to admit this difference, so he snorted coldly. "You have today's results because of the Gu family. What's there to be proud of now?"Gu Linbei had expected this, as if he had already guessed that Gu Shaohuan would say that."
After Gu Linbei got the computer, he turned off the page of the Gu Group internal web.This was also the reason why Gu Shaohuan no longer insisted.Gu Linbei sent a message, and soon a document came from the other side.After calling Gu Shaohuan over, he opened the document.It was the three companies that had been acquired by the Gu family in the morning and other shares."You're the one who's dealing with the Gu family?!"Gu Shaohuan's first reaction was that Gu Linbei was the one dealing with Gu Group, not that Gu Linbei wanted to help the Gu family.In the face of Gu Shaohuan's reaction, Gu Linbei's first feeling was not anger or disappointment, but relief.Fortunately, this man was not his father.Gu Linbei didn't explain. Instead, he called in all the members of Gu Shao Huan's team."Mr. Gu, he is the mysterious buyer who helped us stabilize the stock market!"He was so excited that he almost called Gu Linbei the son of the Gu family.However, both Gu Shaohuan and Gu
Gu Linbei did not care what Gu Zihang was thinking.He directly pulled her out of Henry's office.Henry looked at Monique’s photos on his desk and ignored them.He was thinking about the reason why Su Chen had attacked the Gu family first...."Zihang, how is it? Have you done it?"Gu Shaohuan had been paying close attention to the curve on the computer.He didn't notice the secretary's expression when she came in and said that Gu Zihang wanted to say something when he came back.When Gu Shaohuan finished asking, there was no response.He raised his head and saw Gu Linbei coming back with Gu Zihang."What are you doing here?" Gu Shaohuan was furious when he saw the son that the Gu family had raised for 20 years.How proud Gu Linbei had been in the past, how much he hated him now.Gu Linbei didn't care about Gu Shaohuan's tone at all. He sat down on the sofa as usual.He was so angry that his nose was crooked."The Gu family is in big trouble, and they can't hold on any lo
Gu Linbei and Su Chen were just so happy, but they made w Gu Shaohuan and Gu Zihang feel so worried.They didn't even have time for lunch and had been busy buying.However, the funds that could be used were quickly finished, so they had no choice but to stop.It wasn't that the Gu family didn't have enough money.The wealth accumulated by the Gu family in the past few lifetimes would not be unable to afford these stocks.Not to mention that the stock loss was so much now.However, most of the Gu family's funds were flowing in the project.They could not be put into use as they wanted.Gu Shaohuan had even used up all of his savings, but it was still useless.It was too late to transfer funds now...Was it really useless now?Just as Gu Shaohuan and his nephew were in despair.The Gu Group found that the decline of the Gu Group's stock gradually stopped."Mr. Gu, look, Mr. Gu! This man seems to be helping the company. The stock doesn’t drop anymore."The leader of the team
Only in this way could he have a better grasp of the initiative.But what could Gu Shaohuan do if he didn't listen to him?The Gu family didn’t have any business in the past two years. Of course, Gu Shaohuan, who needed a large amount of money, would release more shares to gather funds.However, they didn't expect Su Chen to be the one who bought a large number of Gu's stocks and even gave them financial support.Even if they found out, they would not doubt anything.After all, the Su Group had been developing rapidly in City B these years.Early this morning, Su Chen began to sell all the Gu Group stocks at all costs.The Gu Group's stock dropped sharply.At this rate, the Gu family would be forced to leave the city before it was over.Moreover, the other companies of the Gu family were affected.By the time Gu Shaohuan found out about this, three companies under his control had already changed owners.At this time, Gu Shaohuan were anxious, and he was anxiously discussing
