Chapter 103 Mr Brandon''s Gesture
"Mr. Ss?!"
Ss heard the familiar voice of Mr. Brandon.
"Mr. Brandon?" he asked in surprise.
He felt that the face of the person walking toward him was familiar, but he didn''t expect it to be Mr. Brandon, which was the reason for his surprise.
Mr. Brandon also didn''t expect to see Ss in thepany''s branch office in San Jose.
He was surprised when he saw someone who looked exactly like Ss standing in front of the reception desk, and he decided toe and talk to him. But who knew that the person he saw was actually Ss.
He didn''t expect his young client to change so much and for his appearance to improve so greatly, but that wasn''t important. What was more important was Ss'' reason foring here.
"Mr. Ss, you''re back from your trip? What do you need help with? I can assist you with anything you need," Mr. Brandon said with a smile.
He was very happy to see Ss. Why wouldn''t he be? He had just received a cash gift of $25 million from Ss aspensation for the ''stress'' he had gone through when he was searching for the ind.
Ss saw how enthusiastic Mr. Brandon was and smiled. He could already guess the reason for it and he didn''t mind, as he found the man''s character to be likable.
"I made an appointment for a house viewing of the house I want to purchase, and I''m here for it," Ss said.
Due to the familiarity from the previous times they had worked together, Ss felt it would be better if Mr. Brandon took him for the house viewing. However, he knew that it would be impossible, as this wasn''t Mr. Brandon''s branch. N?v(el)B\\jnn
Mr. Brandon heard what Ss said and nodded. He then turned to the receptionist and told her to give him the information on Ss'' appointment.
Ss was surprised by Mr. Brandon''s actions but decided to keep quiet, as he was curious to see what he wanted to do.
The receptionist was surprised by the scene happening in front of her. She didn''t understand how the new branch manager and the handsome young man were very familiar with each other.
Though she had her thoughts and questions, she knew better than to possibly risk her job by asking.
She immediately got to work on herputer, brought up all the information on Ss'' appointment, and wrote it on a piece of paper which she handed to Mr. Brandon.
"Here, Branch Manager," she said as she handed the piece of paper to him, and Mr. Brandon received it with a nod.
"Thank you. What''s your name?" he asked the receptionist.
"Leah, sir."
"Leah, I will remember your name," Mr. Brandon said with a nod.
The receptionist had a strange expression on her face when she heard this. Since Mr. Brandon was a new branch manager whose character was unknown, she didn''t know if she should be happy that he said he would remember her name or if she should be worried.
She thought about it briefly and decided to just forget about it.
Ss was curiously watching Mr. Brandon''s actions, and he was surprised when he heard the receptionist call him branch manager.
"You got promoted?" he asked with a smile and a raised brow.
Mr. Brandonughed when he saw Ss'' expression.
"Yes, it''s all thanks to you, Mr. Ss."
Ss smiled in understanding when he heard what Mr. Brandon said.
He felt that it was natural. The total cost of buildings he had purchased toplete the first chain mission was more than $1 billion, which was a massive expenditure.
In addition to that, a property portfolio worth more than $1 billion was being managed by Mr. Brandon. If all that didn''t get him a promotion, then Ss didn''t know what would.
"Mr. Ss, I will be your guide for the house viewing," Mr. Brandon said, and Ss nodded.
"Let''s go then," he said and started walking toward the building''s entrance, and Ss followed behind with a smile.
Outside, Ss walked to his car and got in, and Mr. Brandon also got in.
Mr. Brandon was surprised when he saw the car. He was expecting to see the Bugatti or another expensive luxury sports car, not a Camaro, but besides that, he decided not to pay any more attention to it.
Ss started the car and drove off towards where the house was located.
Right after they left, a middle-aged man walked to the receptionist and asked her about Ss, and he was disappointed and angry to hear that the new branch manager had reced him.
Glenview Drive, Country View Estates, Almaden Valley, Silicon Valley.
In front of a sprawling luxury estate located on a hillside in the exclusive estates, a ck Camaro stopped and two men, a handsome young man and a middle-aged man, stepped out of it.
"Mr. Ss, let''s go inside and take a look," Mr. Brandon said as he took the lead and started walking toward the building, and Ss followed behind.
Mr. Brandon got to the building''s entrance and opened the door, allowing him and Ss to gain ess to it.
"Mr. Ss, please take your time," Mr. Brandon said with a smile as he allowed Ss to look around the house.
Ss had already read up on the building''s information and seen pictures of it, which was the reason why he decided to buy it, but there''s a difference between reading up on something, seeing pictures of it, and actually seeing it with one''s own eyes.
Ss walked around the house as he took a look around, and he must say that he was very satisfied with what he saw.
Though the house didn''tpare that much to the Vi, it was still a luxury estate in its own right.
Entering the estate, one would immediately be impressed with the incredible amount of natural light pouring into every crevice of the home''s open-concept floor n.
There were also gleaming hardwood floors leading through each room, while exquisite marble flooring was showcased in every bathroom.
The heart of this home was actually the ultra-modern gourmet kitchen, which featured granite countertops, a 6-burner gas range, arge center ind, and all the other amenities required for entertaining guests or intimate family gatherings. Features that Ss approved of.
This estate included 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, including an impressive primary suiteplete with breathtaking views from its private balcony and an ensuite bathroom featuring a huge jetted soaking tub and a ss-enclosed shower stall.
There were multiple bonus ensuites and rooms creating unique opportunities for a home office, gym, or yroom! There was also plenty of space for outdoor BBQs, gardening, and arge fire pit.
In addition to that, the estate was close to some of the best golfing, hiking, biking, and equestrian trails.
After Ss was done looking around the house, he was satisfied with what he saw. He walked back to where Mr. Brandon was standing and quietly waiting for him.
"Mr. Ss, how is it?" Mr. Brandon asked when he saw Ss walk back to him.
"I like it. I will make the purchase immediately, and when you get to the office, you can prepare the papers and send them to me through my attorney," Ss replied and brought out his phone to make the transfer, but he was stopped by Mr. Brandon.
The only somewhat disappointing part of the estate was that its garage had a parking space for three cars, but Ss didn''t feel that this was important or a problem.
Even though he had more than 20 cars at the moment, Ss didn''t feel the garage''s abysmal parking space was a problem.
After Ss was done looking around the house, he was satisfied with what he saw. He walked back to where Mr. Brandon was standing and quietly waiting for him.
"Mr. Ss, how is it?" Mr. Brandon asked when he saw Ss walk back to him.
"I like it. I will make the purchase immediately, and when you get to the office, you can prepare the papers and send them to me through my attorney," Ss replied and brought out his phone to make the transfer, but he was stopped by Mr. Brandon.
"Mr. Ss, you don''t need to pay for it. I will take care of everything. This is my way of saying thank you, please ept it." Mr. Brandon said as he gave a bow.
He had received the money that Ss sent to him aspensation for the ''troubles'' he went through due to Ss'' request for an ind, and he was shocked by the amount.
A whopping $25 million!
Mr. Brandon was shocked when he saw the credit alert. He was initially happy when he saw it, but he got a slight feeling of unease the next moment.
He felt like he was about to lose something very important to him. He tried to suppress the feeling, but the prickling feeling only got stronger.
As an experienced businessman, he had learned to trust and follow his instincts. He immediately left his office and made his way to Ss'' Vi at Newport Beach, but he didn''t expect to meet Ss at the reception.
He didn''t know what the feeling of uneasiness was about, but he felt that it was rted to Ss and something he didn''t want to happen was to lose Ss.
This was something that he would never allow to happen.
Ss saw Mr. Brandon''s action and couldn''t help but be surprised by it. It took him a moment to understand the reason for his action, and he couldn''t help but smile when he came to the realization.
He knew that the reason for Mr. Brandon''s action was to make sure that they could still continue their business rtionship.
It was understandable that Mr. Brandon wanted to thank him as he knew that he was the reason why he got a promotion, and Ss intended to ept the gesture.
Ss gave it a brief thought and felt it was reasonable.
The estate cost approximately $4.6 million, an amount he knew Mr. Brandon could afford.
"Ok, then. Thank you, Mr. Brandon. I appreciate the gesture," Ss said with a smile.
Mr. Brandon heard this and let out a silent sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Mr. Ss. We can go to the office if you want so that I can prepare the papers for you. No need for your attorney," Mr. Brandon said with a bright smile.
"Ok then, let''s go," Ss said and walked out of the estate, followed by Mr. Brandon.
The two of them walked to the car, got in, and Ss started the car and drove off to Mr. Brandon''s office.
