《The Return of the Hidden Prince》 Chapter 1 He Was Slumdog Millionaire? Chapter 1 He Was Slumdog Millionaire? In front of the Huading Tower of Qingyang City, Josh stood there with a smile on his face and two movie tickets were in his hand. At that moment, a man and a woman came out of the building. The man was wearing a suit, with a Jens Stanton watch on his wrist and a BMW key pinned to his waist, while the woman was hot and very pretty. They two were talking happily. "Faye!" When Josh saw her, he walked towards her with a smile on his face. But the woman''s face changed when she saw Josh. "''What are you doing here? I told you not toe to my office. I''ll be embarrassed if my colleagues knew you were my boyfriend." Faye was very unhappy. "Faye, it''s the second anniversary of our rtionship, so I bought movie tickets to surprise you." Josh smiled as he handed Faye the tickets. The man in the suit next to him furrowed his brow, "You have boyfriend? Faye, I thought you said you didn''t have a boyfriend?" "Shaw, I ......" Faye stammered. She didn''t know how to exin this. Then the man in the suits looked Josh up and down with a disdainful smile. "Faye, why do you have such a bumpkin for a boyfriend? He must be poor by the way he''s dressed." Shaw said. Faye nched. She though Josh really embarrassed her. Josh heard the sarcasm in his words and also turned slightly pale, but didn''t contradict him. He looked Faye. "Faye, let''s go!" "No, I don''t want to." Faye pushed Josh''s hand away. ¡°Shaw is right. You¡¯re just a bumpkin. You can''t afford to buy me the phone and bag I like. You don''t even have the money as to watch a movie. I don''t trust you to make me happy." "Faye, I''m poor now, but I''ll work hard, and you¡¯ll live a rich life finally." Josh said. "Your promise is a just a joke. Your family has no money, no power and no background. Even if you work hard all your life, you won''t be as rich as Shaw." Faye sneered. "You''re not even qualified to be my maid." Shaw said sarcastically. "Josh, I have to say that you''re not good enough for me. Today, I¡¯ll break up with you." Faye spoke firmly. Then Faye turned to Shaw and smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s go." With that, Faye took the initiative to take Shaw''s arm. He looked at Josh with a disdainful smile, "You don''t deserve to have love, understand!" Afterwards, Shaw Wu and Faye headed to a BMW not far away and drove off. Watching Faye''s back as he walked away, Josh was sad, angry, yet helpless. "I''m poor, so our two-year rtionship ends?" Josh said to himself. Josh kept his head down. His hands squeezed so tightly in his fists that his nails sunk into his palms. Josh and Faye met in high school. At the end of their junior year of high school, they confirmed their rtionship. At that time Faye was nice and simple girl. After graduation, Josh got into a local college and Faye entered the workforce when she didn''t make it to college. Since then, Faye had changed. She became a gold-digger. Josh didn''t go after Faye, nor did he try to keep her. He knew he was poor. He didn''t have the confidence topete with Shaw for Faye. And Josh saw through Faye, too. All these years, Josh had suffered a lot of grievances and unfair treatment because he was poor. "Faye, today you despise me, but in the future I will make you regret the choices you made today." Josh vowed in his heart. "Shaw Wu, Just wait. One day I will make sure that you will be punished for despising me.¡± ...... In the shantytown of Qingyang City, where most of the residents were the underprivileged of this community, Josh''s home was also there. On the way home, Josh was thinking about earning money. But he didn¡¯t think of a good way to earn money. He was just a college student who hadn''t graduated yet, and his family was poor. He didn''t have any connections he could use, so it was impossible to get rich in the near future. As soon as he arrived at his house, Josh saw a Bentley. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. "Why is there a luxury car in front of my home?" Josh was surprised. And then he quickened his pace and entered his home. Upon entering, Josh found that his mother was talking with an old man in a suit. His suit looked expensive, and he seemed very cultured. Josh knew he must be a rich man. "Hi, Josh. You¡¯re back. I have been waiting for you for a long time,¡± the old man smiled at Josh and said. ¡°I''m your grandfather." Suddenly Josh was confused. "Mom, what''s going on?" he looked at his mother and asked. His mother had told Josh that his grandmother and grandfather had passed away before he was born, so Josh had never met his grandfather or heard from them. Now he just couldn''t believe he had a grandfather suddenly. His mother sighed and then said, "I''ve been lying to you all these years. Your grandfather is still alive. When I wanted to be with your father, your grandfather didn''t approve, so I eloped with your father." It was a little hard for Josh to ept it. He didn¡¯t expect that his parents had eloped to pursue love. "Your grandfather''s name is Moses Liu," his mother said. "Moses Liu?" Josh''s facial muscles twitched abruptly. He knew that Moses Liu was the richest man in the Southwest Province and had a great reputation in the country. In the Southwest Province, Moses Liu''s Huading Group is spread all over the cities in almost every industry. In Qingyang City, there are Huading Group industries as well. "Are you ...... really Moses Liu, the Huading Group''s Chairman?" Josh stared at Moses Liu with wide eyes. Josh couldn''t believe that his grandfather was such a big shot. "Yes, I am." Moses stepped forward with a smile on his face and tried to hug Josh. Josh, however, stepped back. "After all these years, why didn''t youe to us? You''re so rich, why are you making my mother''s life so hard!" Josh questioned angrily. Josh''s father died early, and his mother had raised him alone all these years, and Josh knew that his mother was having a hard time. "I gave money to your mother, but she didn''t want it and wouldn''t even let me see you. In fact, I want to tell you I¡¯m your grandfather.¡± Moses said. ¡°You''re my only grandson." "Mom, what he ...... he said is true?" Josh looked to his mother and asked. Mother nodded, ¡°Actually, I didn''t want you to meet him, but finally I straightened out my thinking. Our grudge can''t get you involved. For the sake of a better life for you, I think you need know he is your grandfather. I hope you will ept him." Moses smiled and hugged Josh. This time Josh didn''t refuse his hug. "You''ve suffered all these years. Grandpa will make it up to you!" Moses said. Immediately Moses took out a bank card and handed it to Josh. "There''s a hundred million in the card." said he. ¡°It is for you as your pocket money.¡± "A hundred million?" Josh''s hand trembled and he was so shocked that he couldn''t believe it. Josh had never thought he would have so much money, and Moses saw it as pocket money. Moses saw Josh''s thoughts. "A hundred million is not too much money for me. All you need to do is to spend it." Moses smiled as he put the card into Josh''s hand and continued. "I''ll let you be in charge of my business in Qingyang City." "But I''m still in college and I''ve never had run apany." Josh said. ¡°Mypany in Qingyang City has senior managers running it. All you need to do is to be a registered Chairman and then you can continue your studies. The money that Qingyang City branch earns, you can use it as you like," Moses said. Josh nodded. "Thank you, Grandpa." Today''s breakup between Faye and Josh made him realize the importance of having money and status. Now he could walk with his head held high. Josh suddenly remembered that Faye was working as a receptionist at the branch of the Huading Group in Qingyang City, and Shaw Wu also worked here. Josh wondered what Faye and Shaw''s look would be when they find out that he was the chairman of theirpany, which made Josh look forward to see them. Chapter 2 I Am the New Chairman Chapter 2 I Am the New Chairman "Tomorrow morning, you''ll be able to take over the Qingyang branch as Chairman," Moses Liu said with a smiling face. Josh Lin nodded again. Moses was even happier when he saw that Josh had agreed. He was afraid that Josh wouldn''t ept him, but now it seemed that he was overly worried. Moses patted Josh¡¯s shoulder and said, "When you graduate from college, you''ll be the heir of the Huading Group as long as you''re willing." Moses talked to Josh for a while and then rushed back to the provincial capital to deal with his company. He told Josh that he woulde back to see him in a few days and let Josh call him if he needed help. Then Moses Liu left. "I can''t believe that I''m Moses Liu''s grandson. I¡¯ll be the heir of the Huading Group. That¡¯s amazing." LJosh said loud. Before he came back home, he still thought that he would never be able to be rich in his life, but now he was the grandson of the richest man in the country. Josh looked at the bank card in his hand and vowed in his heart to make those who had bullied him, mocked andughed at him be punished. ...... When Moses Liu went out, his secretary behind him spoke up. "Mr. Liu, Josh has never managed apany before. You make him chairman of thepany in Qingyang City, maybe he''ll ruin it." "That''s a test for him. If he screws up thepany, it means he''s a dude and not fit to be the heir of Huading Group," Moses said meaningfully. Moses knew that as long as Josh can listen to thepany''s management, even if he did nothing, the company would continue to be profitable and not go bankrupt, for there were professional managers running thepany. "What if Josh improves the profitability of the branch and make it even better in Qingyang City?" the secretary said. "I hope so, but it may be impossible." Moses shook his head. Moses didn''t expect Josh to do better. He just wanted him to keep thepany from going bankrupt. It was still unclear whether Josh could make the branch better. ....... At eight o''clock the next morning, outside the Huading Tower, there were more than a hundred employees standing around. The entire building is very imposing, and with the Huading Group as its headquarters, the branch is doing very well in Qingyang City. Standing at the front were Dayong Wu, the General Manager and Bob Liu, the Deputy General Manager. In the second row were five department managers, including Shaw Wu, the man who took Josh''s girlfriend. The rest of the department heads andpany employees were lined up on both sides of the road. They got the news that the new Chairman would take up his post today, so the general manager led the entire staff and weed the new Chairman here. "I''m curious who this new Chairman is." An employee said. "He must be a great and handsome guy." Then Faye, who was also in the crowd, said, "For all I know, this person might be a rtive of the Chairman Liu." "He''s a rtive of Chairman Liu?" one staff was very surprised. Moses Liu, the owner of Huading Group, is the richest man in the Southwest. It was enviable to be a rtive of Moses Liu. "Faye, is this true?" these staffs all looked at Faye. "Of course it''s true. That''s what Shaw told me." Faye said proudly. "Faye, you''re now Shaw¡¯s girfriend, aren''t you? You''ll have to take care of us from now on." ¡°Faye, you¡¯re so lucky.¡± "Faye, when you first joined thepany, I helped you, so don¡¯t forget to help me when I am in need." Now the employees around her started ttering Faye just because she was now Shaw Wu''s girlfriend. Faye appeared to be enjoying their ttery. At the same time she sighed in her heart that she had made a wise choice in choosing to break up with Josh, otherwise she wouldn''t be ttered by everyone right now. Just then, a man appeared in front of everyone. This person was Josh Lin who hade to take up the position of Chairman. "Why is he here?" Faye saw Josh appear and frowned. Shaw, who was standing in front, also recognized Josh. "Josh, stop right there!" Shaw Wu stepped forward to stop Josh. "I have something important to do today, so I don''t want to waste time with you. Get the hell out of here!" Shaw headed towards Josh. "Shaw Wu, I am sure that the more you curse now, the worse you''ll end upter." Josh narrowed his eyes and sneered. "What? You¡¯re too funny. You don''t even know how miserable you are. You¡¯re just a loser who is dumped by your girlfriend!" Shawughed out loud. At this time, Faye also ran over. "Faye, what a coincidence, we meet again." Josh grinned at Faye. "Josh, I know you want me toe back to you. But I have to say there''s no way I''ll get back together with you." Faye frowned and spoke sharply. ¡°You¡¯re suck.¡± "Faye, you might be a little narcissistic. I''m not here to beg you toe back to me. Now if you beg me to get back together with you, I won''t do so." Josh snickered. "What? I beg you? Are you kidding me? I could never beg you in my life." Faye crossed her arms over her chest and sneered. At that moment, Dayong Wu stepped forward and spoke. "Shaw, who is he? Why are you arguing with him here? Don''t you know the Chairman wille? What if the new Chairman sees you guys fighting?" "Dad, I''ll let him leave here immediately." said Shaw. Then he looked to Josh and snapped. "Get out of here right now or I''ll call security and have you thrown out of here." "I''m the new Chairman that''sing on board. You better be polite to me." Josh pointed at Shaw and said. His tone was stern. "You''re the new Chairman? What a joke!" Shaw burst outughing at Josh''s words. The employees present couldn''t help butugh loudly as well. They saw that Josh was dressed in a cheap suit and looked like a college student. He didn''t look like someone who could be a Chairman. Faye, however, turned blue. "Josh, just leave here, okay? How dare you impersonate the new chairman? As your ex-girlfriend, I feel so ashamed for you!" "But I''m really the new Chairman," Josh said seriously. "Josh, you''re still lying. I know your family and you well, you can''t fool me." Faye said angrily. "Security, throw him out!" Shaw shouted directly for security to take Josh away. A dozen security guards ran towards Josh. At that moment, a Bentley slowly drove up. It was the one Josh had seen in front of his house yesterday. "It must be the new Chairmaning!" The employees said excitedly. Then Dayong instructed loudly, "Everyone, cheer up and get ready to wee the new Chairman!" With that, he ran towards the Bentley with the executives. "Josh, aren''t you impersonating the new Dong Chairman? Now he''s here! I''ll see how you¡¯ll exin this." Faye smirked at Josh. "Yeah, I also want to know." Josh grinned. At that moment, the Bentley door opened and a middle-aged man stepped out of the car. Josh recognized the man immediately. ¡°He has been with Grandpa yesterday and seems to be Grandpa''s secretary.¡± Josh thought. "Secretary Zhang, why are you the only one here? Where is the new Chairman?" Dayong asked with a smile on his face. "The new Chairman should have arrived by now, haven''t you seen him?" Secretary Zhang said. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org "No." Dayong looked confused. Secretary Zhang looked around, and finally saw Josh not far away, then, with a smile on his face, he jogged towards Josh. Dayong didn''t know what was going on, but he was still busy with his executives and followed him. After Secretary Zhang arrived in front of Josh, he even bowed to Josh. Then he said, "Young Master, I''m so sorry. The road was jammed, so I amte." Chapter 3 It Was Time to Settle a Score with Them Chapter 3 It Was Time to Settle a Score with Them The crowd at the scene was all confused after seeing this, especially Faye and Shaw Wu. They both opened their mouths wide in shock. "What''s going on? Secretary Jang even bowed to Josh? He called Josh Young Master?" Faye said loudly. At this time, Secretary Zhang turned his head and said with a straight face, "Mr. Wu, this is new Chairman." "He is the new Chairman?" Dayong Wu asked with an incredulous expression on his face. These employees were all stunned. Shaw was even more wide-eyed, and was unable to believe her ears. "No! It''s impossible! He''s just a poor bumpkin. I know his family well.¡± Faye spoke sharply, "I don''t think he can be the new Chairman. Dayong also said, "Secretary Zhang, I want to ask if there is some mistake? He¡¯s not dressed like Chairman." "Here''s the letter of appointment. If you still don''t believe me, you can also call Chairman Liu for confirmation." said Secretary Zhang Then he handed over the letter of appointment to Dayong. He took a closer look at the identity information inside, and the person in the photo was really Josh. "Josh is Mr. Liu''s grandson." Secretary Zhang continued. There were literally no words to describe the shock of the crowd when they heard the news. Shaw was even more shocked and he went limp on the floor, his face turning white due to the spasm of his heart. He can''t believe he stole Chairman Liu''s grandson''s girlfriend. "No, this is impossible!" Faye, on the other hand, stared straight at Josh with an incredulous look She was confused that Josh would be Chairman Liu''s grandson. Now Dajong ran up to Josh and ttered him. "Chairman Lin, I''m sorry that I didn''t recognize you. Please don''t be angry with me." Dayong knew that Secretary Zhang was the person that Chairman Liu trusted, and Secretary Zhang would never lie about something about Chairman Liu. Josh didn''t pay any attention to Dayong, but turned directly to these employees. These employees present all had their heads bowed, because they had allughed at Josh when he said he was the new Chairman, and they were now a little worried that this new Chairman would find trouble with them. Josh was ovee with emotion as he saw the awe the crowd had for him. They had beenughing at before, but now they all became respectful to him immediately. Josh scanned the circle before finally focusing on Shaw. When Shaw saw Josh walking towards him, the cold sweat ran from his back. He knew Josh was about to settle a score with him. When Josh arrived in front of Shaw, Shaw moved to beg for mercy. "Mr. Lin, I was wrong. I shouldn''t have taken your girlfriend. I apologize. I''ll break up with her right away." Knowing that Josh was Chairman Liu''s grandson, Shaw can''t think of any other way to stop Josh from retaliating against him other than begging for forgiveness. Looking at Shaw who was begging for mercy, Josh couldn''t help but thought that it was good to be rich and powerful. Yesterday Shaw was arrogant in front of him, but today he took the initiative to kneel down and beg for mercy, which was Josh once never dared to think. "I don''t need this bitch! Besides, you think I can forgive you?" Josh narrowed his eyes. Saying that, Josh kicked Shaw right out of the way. Shaw had to hold his grudge when he thought about who Josh was. "Mr. Lin, if he has offended you, please forgive him." Dayong stepped forward to intercede for his son. Josh looked at Dayong with cold eyes, "You still have the nerve to beg for mercy for him? Your son''s arrogance has a lot to do with your connivance." Immediately afterwards, Josh shouted, "I announce as the new Chairman, you and your son are dismissed from Huading Group as of today." "What? You dare fire me?" Dayong''s face had turned livid. Dayong had fought for years to be the general manager. If he was fired now, all these years of his hard work would end. He wanted to argue that he was an old employee of thepany, but when he thought that Josh was the grandson of Chairman Liu, he had to hold back his anger. Shaw looked desperate. He had a sense of superiority depend on his dad. He often assumed an air of superiority before others in thepany. If his dad got fired, he wouldn''t have a chance to be so arrogant again. He felt like he''d fallen from heaven to hell in an instant. "Security, throw them out!" Josh waved his hand to motion the security guards to kick them out. The dozens of security guards next to them looked at each other, a little hesitant. Josh''s brow furrowed, "You guys don''t hear me? Or you think I''m not in a position to order you around?" Security guards were in a quandary right and left. Josh was chairman Liu'' grandson, but Dayong Wu had been the main person in charge of thepany. But now that Josh was the new chairman of thepany, they just had to listen to his orders as well. After figuring this out, more than ten security guards grabbed Dayong and Shaw, and then they were going to take them out of thepany. "Don¡¯t touch me. Leave me alone." Shaw yelled as loud as he could. "You and your dad have been fired. You''re nothing now." A security guard sneered. "You''re still putting on airs. If you don''t leave, we''re going to beat you up." Then they carried Shaw right out. Shaw''s lip trembled in anger. He hadn''t expected to be so humiliated by a few security guards. Dayong was calmer though. He was just very angry and didn''t yell. As a businessman who had fight in business for many years, he was well aware of the current situation. He was in no position to fight with Chairman Liu''s grandson. After they were thrown to the street not far away, many of the employees present were excited. Shaw was a mean person in thepany, so many employees loathed him. Now these staffs here were happy to see them thrown out. Then Josh walked up to Faye. He wanted to end his rtionship with Faye once and for all. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. At this point Faye was white as a sheet. She was with Shaw because of Shaw''s money and status, but now Shaw was kicked out of thepany. And her ex-boyfriend, Josh, had turned out to be Chairman of thepany. And he was also the grandson of the richest man in the Southwest. She had never thought that things woulde to this. "Josh, your family is poor! How could you be the grandson of Chairman Liu?" Faye looked confused. At the same time, Faye regretted it in her heart. If she had known that Josh was the grandson of Moses Liu, the richest man in the Southwest, she would never have broken up with Josh. "Yeah, the world is like a mystery. You never know what''s going to happen next.¡± Josh smiled. ¡°I also never thought I''d be Moses Liu''s grandson either." Faye bit her lip. "Josh, I ...... was just fooled by Shaw, so I broke up with you. In fact, I really love you. Can you give me a chance?" Faye held Josh¡¯s arm, looking beseeching. "Sorry, it''s alreadyte." said Josh calmly. Josh pushed Faye right out of the way. Yesterday Faye was cruel to Josh and today Josh treated her with ruthlessness. Then Josh turned right around and left. As she watched Josh leave, Faye''s heart fell into an abyss. She knew that she would never have a chance to get together with Josh that she once despised. Josh came to the Bob Liu, and Bob was very worried. "Mr. Lin, I am not in league with Dayong Wu." said Bob. ¡°I''m not here to trouble you. On the contrary, I''m going to give you a promotion. As of today, you are the general manager of thepany." Josh said. "Really?" Bob was surprised and delighted. "Of course it''s true." Joshughed. Yesterday Josh had paid someone to find out the information about thepany after he knew that he wasing here to be Chairman. ording to information, Bob Liu was a business talent. It was a pity that he was unlucky and was always under Dayong Wu''s thumb. Dayong always stole Bob''s credit and made him take the me. Actually, Bob just need someone to find his talent and promote him. Josh had also paid to investigate Bob and learned that he had a good personality, so Josh decided to promote him. "Mr. Lin, thank you. I will live up to your expectations." Bob said excitedly. For Josh, he just gave an order and Bob would get the promotion, but for Bob, the promotion was hard. He''d been waiting years for this opportunity. "Don''t let me down." Josh said. Then he paused, and continued, "You are aware of who I am. As long as you run thepany well, I can continue to promote you." "Thank you, sir. I''ll do my best." Bob sounded determined. Bob was grateful for Josh''s promotion of him. He was determined to be loyal to Josh and did his best to run thepany. Chapter 4 I Want to Make a Donation Chapter 4 I Want to Make a Donation "I believe you." Josh patted Bob Liu''s shoulder and said. A day ago, Bob, the vice general manager of argepany, was the man Josh needed to look up to. Now, however, he was very respectful to Josh. Next, Josh looked to these employees present. "Today is my first day on the job, and I''d like to give each of you a gift. I''ll give each of you ten thousand privately." Josh said directly. "What? Ten thousand?" "Chairman is so generous." These employees present were shocked, they all shouted in excitement. ...... These employees were discussing excitedly. Of course, people liked their boss who can give them money, but when Dayong Wu was in charge of thepany, he was very stingy with the employees. There were more than a hundred employees present, so the total amount was over a million, which was not much for Josh now, but Josh had won the support of their employees by giving them money. "As long as you work hard, I promise there will be more bonuses and benefits." Josh said. Then these people broke into loud apuse. ...... Josh nodded in satisfaction as he watched everyone smiling happily. Yesterday Josh¡¯s grandpa had said that Josh only needed to be the titr Chairman, but Josh thought that since he had be thepany''s Chairman, he had to make thepany grow better, which was a way of proving to his grandpa that he was capable of being his sessor. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Secretary Zhang can''t help but praise Josh in his heart, "It seems that Josh is capable. Not only does he make Bob are loyal to him, but also he win the support of thepany''s employees." Josh''s performance today had greatly exceeded Secretary Zhang''s expectations. He decided to report everything he had just seen to Moses Liu. ...... Thepany was already well run in all aspects, and Bob and the executives can run thepany well, so there was nothing for Josh to worry about. Then Josh left thepany after spending the morning there. In addition, Josh also instructed Bob to remove all the Dayong Wu''s rtives from thepany. ording to Josh''s investigation yesterday, the Dayong Wu had arranged many of his rtives in the company. They were paid monthly but did not work. Now in the Wu family, Shaw Wu stayed home and was inme with anger. He mmed the ss on the table. "Damn it! Damn!" "Dad, are we going to let Josh kick us out of thepany without doing something about it?" Shaw comined. ¡°No, I will definitely get back at him." Dayong Wu gritted his teeth. "He''s Chairman Liu''s grandson, and with that, we can''t fight him." Shaw looked helpless. "But we can set him up. I''ll secretly find some thugs to cripple him." Dayong''s face contorted in anger. Shaw brightened, "Then we give some of the thugs more money and let them hide abroad, so no one will know we hired them." "That''s right. I know a few thugs. I''ll get on it!" Dayong got straight up and out. "Dad, Let the thugs make him a vegetable!" Shaw roared. ...... Josh left the office and returned to Qingyang University. "Josh, you skipped Mr. Butcher''s ss in the morning. How dare you do that?" As soon as Josh entered the dormitory, a fat guy said to Josh. This fat guy was Frank Huang, Josh''s only friend in college. "I have something this morning, so I don¡¯t have time to attend his ss." Josh said. "Well, you can take the day off too. Mr. Butcher said he was going to flunk you in this subject." Frank said seriously. "He wants to fail my subject?" Josh''s eyes narrowed. Mr. Butcher, whose name was David Zheng, was one of Josh''s college teachers. He was fierce like a butcher, so his students called him Mr. Butcher. But the more important reason that Josh has a bad impression of him was that he had seen Mr. Butcher having sex with a female studentst semester. Josh heard that Mr. Butcher threatened the girl that he would flunk her course if she didn''t have sex with him. In Josh¡¯s eyes, he was a scum. "Josh, you better apologize to Mr. Butcher and beg him. Maybe he won''t flunk your course or it will be a problem," Frank said. "Don''t worry. I''ll talk to him." Josh had a cold grin on his lips. If this had happened to Josh in the past, he probably would have gone to Mr. Zheng and apologized. However, now that Josh was the grandson of the richest man in the Southwest, Josh definitely wouldn''t beg him. Now Josh went straight to the office. Mr. Zheng was in his office watching a movie. When he heard the sound of a push on the door, he turned off his phone and then turned his head to look. When he saw it was Josh, he was suddenly angry that Josh had disturbed him and startled him. "Josh, why didn''t you knock before you came into the office? How dare you miss my ss this morning! Do you know the consequences?" Mr. Zheng snapped with a gloomy face. "Mr. Zheng, I''m here for this." Josh said as he walked up to him. "You want to beg me not to fail your subject?" Mr. Zheng rubbed his fingers, indicating that he wanted money. Josh smirked. He had already figured Mr. Zheng would ask for money. Josh sat down in the chair next to him and then crossed his legs. "I¡¯m sorry I don''te here to beg you. I''m here to give you a chance. If you don''t flunk my subject for my missing ss this morning, I''ll consider forgiving you for your previous bad behavior, otherwise¡­¡­¡± "Or what?" Mr. Zheng pursued the question with a meaningless smile. Josh''s eyes narrowed, "Otherwise, I swear I¡¯ll make you pay the price." ¡°What a joke!" Mr. Zheng couldn''t help butugh. Then, he pped the table. "You''ve annoyed me a lot today. You''ll have to apologize and give me five thousand Yuan or I''ll not only fail you at the end of the semester, but I''ll make sure you don''t get your diploma when you graduate." In Mr. Zheng''s opinion, Josh, a poor man with no money and no power, wouldpromise and beg for mercy if he threatened him. Josh''s face fell when he heard his words "Mr. Butcher, you really don''t deserve to be a teacher. You didn''t appreciate the opportunity I gave you either, and I bet you''ll regret It." said Josh coldly. With that, Josh just got up and walked out. Mr. Zheng heard Josh call him nickname and he mmed his fist on the table in anger. "How dare you call me Mr. Butcher? I swear that you¡¯ll be the one who regrets your words." Mr. Zheng yelled at Josh. It was unwise to offend a teacher in college. Mr. Zheng had made up his mind to fail Josh at the end of the semester and to trick him when Josh repeated his course so that Josh wouldn''t get his diploma. Josh shook his head when he left the office. Mr. Zheng really made Josh feel sick. Josh could actually settle his truancy thing by just giving Mr. Zheng a few thousand Yuan, but Josh would never do that. All Josh has to do was to make Mr. Butcher pay for what he had done. Josh made his way outside the president''s office. He knocked on the office door first and got the president''s permission before he went in. When he entered, he saw the president in a suit reading a newspaper. The president looked up at Josh and then he continued to read the paper. "What can I do for you, sir?" he said. "Mr. Zhou, I''d like to make a donation to the school." Josh said. Mr. Zhou heard Josh''s words and thought he was funny. He thought in his mind that Josh might just donate a few thousand Yuan to the school, so he didn''t take Josh''s words seriously. "Thank you for your kindness, but our school isn''t short of a few thousand. You might as well keep it for yourself." Mr. Zhow replied. Josh smiled, ¡°I want to donate ten million." "Ten million?" The president put down the paper and looked at Josh with a startled look on his face. "Are you kidding me? You said you would donate ten million to the school?" He looked at Josh''s outfit and thought he wasn¡¯t like the one who could have ten million. "You can tell me the school ount and I¡¯ll transfer the money now." Josh said. Mr. Zhou thought about it and finally told the school bank ount to Josh. "The transfer isplete, you can check for it." Josh quicklypleted the transfer on his phone. "Mr. Li, you call the bursar''s office now and see if the school receives ten-million transfers." Mr. Zhou said to his secretary who was not far away. The secretary nodded and then called the bursar''s office to confirm the transfer. "Mr. Zhou, the bursar''s office said that they just received a sudden transfer of ten million." the secretary said urgently. Then Mr. Zhou took a breath. He didn''t expect this to be true. The ten million donations was thergest donation Qingyang University had received since it was founded. "Mr. Li, please make tea for him." he said to his secretary. Then he got up with a smile and came to Josh."Sir, please take a seat. Thanks for your generosity. I wonder if you could tell me your name." he said enthusiastically. Chapter 5 He Was Fired Chapter 5 He Was Fired The school president knew very well in his mind that the student who could give out ten million in donations muste from a very rich family. "I''m Josh." Josh sat down and then said. "Mr. Zhou, I didn''t donate this ten million for nothing. I have two requests." "Please, go ahead," said the school president. Josh took a sip of the tea handed over by the secretary, and then said quietly, "First, fire David Zheng. Second, don¡¯t let teachers flunk me, even if I skip sses." "No problem!" said the president. He didn''t even think twice about it. Firing a teacher was a piece of cake for him. "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I hope you fire him soon." Josh stood up and was about leave. Josh came here to have Mr. Zheng fired. Now that he had achieved his aim, there was no need for him to stay and waste time with the president. "I''ll see Mr. Lin off." The president followed Josh all the way out of the office. After Josh left, the president instructed his secretary to investigate Josh. He wanted to know where he was from. With Josh''s ability to donate ten million, the principal believed that Josh had an unusual family background. ...... In the ssroom, Frank was worried that Josh would flunk his course, so he asked, "Josh, did you go to the office to see Mr. Butcher? Did he forgive you?" "I didn''t apologize to him. He''s the one who should apologize to me," Josh said calmly. "What? Are you crazy?" Frank looked puzzled. "Don''t worry. I''m sane now. He offends me, so he''ll have to be fired." Josh had a smile on his lips. "Josh, what are you all talking about? You''d better go and apologize to Mr. Butcher, or you''ll really be in trouble if he gives you a hard time." Frank said anxiously. In Frank''s eyes, poor students couldn¡¯t offend their teachers. Josh and Frank''s conversation was overheard by Tiger Zhang, who was sitting in the back. Tiger was in the same ss as Josh. His dad was in the building materials business, so his family was rich. He knew a lot of hoodlums, so he was usually very bossy in his ss and no one dared to offend him. "Josh, did you just say that Mr. Butcher offended you so he''ll just get expelled? You''re so good at bragging. What a joke." Tigerughed loudly. Immediately, Tiger stood up and spoke up. "Hi, everybody, Josh just said that Mr. Butcher offended him, so he would be expelled from school. Do you guys believe him?" Tiger''s voice was loud. All the students in the ssroom could hear his words clearly. The students looked at Tiger and Josh after hearing the words. "Yes, that was indeed what I just said. I¡¯m just telling the truth. "Josh said calmly. The whole ss, including Tiger, burst outughing. "Josh usually seems so humble, why does he brag now?" "I wonder how he¡¯ll get Mr. Butcher fired." ...... Everyone in the ss knew that Josh''s family was poor. No one believed Josh had the power to get Mr. Zheng expelled. Even Frank poked Josh and whispered, "Josh, why do you brag in ss? You¡¯ll be embarrassed." "Frank, I''m really not bragging." Josh said seriously. ¡®You''re a little weird today." said Frank. He didn''t know what was wrong with Josh. Josh wasn''t surprised by Fat Frank''s reaction. After all, Frank knew his family well. He must not believe that Josh had the power to get Mr. Zheng fired. Then the bell rang. The first ss was still Mr. Zheng''s. When Mr. Zheng slowly walked into the ssroom, Tiger suddenly stood up. "Mr. Zheng, Josh just said in ss that you offended him, so you''ll be expelled from school." After saying that, Tiger smiled and crossed his arm in front of him. He was ready to see Josh''s joke. Mr. Zheng''s face darkened suddenly. He was already annoyed that Josh had confronted him in his office at noon, and now he was furious. He mmed his textbook down on his desk and snapped at Josh. "Josh, what''s wrong with you? How dare you nder me? I''ll let the school disciplines you." At this point, Tiger and his friends whistled. Some students in the ss were worried about Josh. They knew it was very unwise for poor students to offend a teacher. "Josh! Get up and deny it and then apologize to him, or you''re over." Frank was in a hurry to poke Josh with his elbow. Then Josh stood up reluctantly. Then, with everyone watching, he said, "Mr. Butcher, Tiger was right. I did say that about you." After hearing Josh''s words, the entire ssroom was in an uproar. "He admitted it? He even called Mr. Zheng by his nickname." "Oh my God, does he still want to study here? He doesn¡¯t want to graduate?" ...... Bow Josh was a crazy man in the eyes of his ssmates. No ssmate had ever dared to call Mr. Zheng¡¯s nickname in front of him. Right now Mr. Zheng''s eyes were filled with anger. "Josh, I swear I will never let you graduate." Mr. Zheng yelled angrily. Just then, a director appeared in front of the ssroom. "Mr. Wu, what are you doing here?" Mr. Zheng forced a smile. "David Zheng, you''ve been expelled from the school! The president told you to get out of school immediately!" the director said indifferently. "What? I am fired?" Mr. Zheng''s face changed. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org "Mr. Wu, you''re joking, right? How could I suddenly be fired?" Mr. Zheng asked. "I¡¯m no joking with you." the director said seriously, and then motioned securities to kick him out of the school Two security guards immediately moved forward to Mr. Zheng. "Mr. Wu, you must be mistaken. How is that possible?" Then he was taken out of the ssroom. Mr. Wu let the students in ss study on their own, and then he left the ssroom as well. At this moment, the entire ssroom was in a strange silence. Many students couldn''t help but look at Josh. They thought that Josh had said that Mr. Zheng had offended him, so he would be expelled from the school. At that time, they thought it was a big joke and evenughed at Josh''s bragging. But now, Mr. Zheng had actually been expelled from the school. "Tiger, Josh, the brat, isn¡¯t lying. Did Mr. Butcher''s expulsion really have something to do with him?" the skinny guys next to Tiger said. "How is that possible? He must have overheard from somewhere that Mr. Butcher would be fired." Tiger said. "Yeah, you''ve got a point." The few people around Tiger nodded. "He''s so poor. There''s no way he has connections that can fire a teacher." said Tiger. "Your analysis is reasonable." said the skinny man. ¡°I think so.¡± The ss heard Tiger''s words and thought he had a point as well. "Josh, you''re in luck. It''s a good thing that Mr. Butcher got fired out of the blue, or you''d really be in trouble!" Frank couldn''t help but say. Joshughed and didn''t say anything. He didn''t want to exin to Frank now that he was the one who made the school fire Mr. Zheng. Then Mr. Zheng was kicked out of the school by two security guards. "Mr. Wu, even if you fire me, you have to give me a reason." Mr. Zheng asked. "The principal said that you offended the wrong person." Mr. Wu said calmly. "Who is he?" Mr. Zheng asked. "Josh!" "What? Josh. "Mr. Zheng was stunned. ...... In the ssroom, students could only study themselves. Many of them took out their phones and yed. "Someone on the school posting said that a sophomore donated ten million to our school." "Ten million? Seriously!" "There''s a notice on the school''s website. The school groups are talking about it.¡± "It''s ten million. Who donated it? Which ss is he in?" Everyone was very concerned about whom this rich young man was. He can donate 10 million to school, so they guessed he muste from a very rich family. Even Tiger was shocked. Although his family was rich, his pocket money was little. He didn¡¯t have a million to make donations, let alone ten million. Tiger knew that the man was definitely richer than him. Chapter 6 Dont Piss Me Off Chapter 6 Don''t Piss Me Off Some of the girls in the ss were curious as to whom this rich man was. As long as they knew who he was, they should definitely try to befriend this rich man. Once they were rted to him, then they would have a chance to enter the rich man''s ss. "What a pity, the notice only says that this student donated money anonymously." "People in various school social groups are eager to know who the rich young man is, but unfortunately no one knows who he is." Josh couldn''t help but smile when he heard that his ssmates were talking about him. He hadn''t expected so many students to know about it so soon after he made donations. Josh was now d that he instructed the president not to expose his name when he left the president''s office, otherwise maybe a lot of people would harass him. When Tiger Zhang heard what everyone was saying, he said, "What a fool. Why did he make a donation anonymously? If I were him, I would have let the whole school know that I donated the money." Frank, next to Josh, chuckled, "This young man is so rich. I also want to have a rich friend." Josh smiled, but didn¡¯t say anything. "Frank, here''s the money I borrowed from you before." Josh took out ten hundred and gave them to Frank. "Josh, I don''t need this money at the moment." Frank said. He knew Josh''s family was poor and desperate for money. Frank''s father had a small business. His family wasn''t very rich, but it was richer than Josh''s family. Josh was a little touched by what he heard. He used to have a poor family and no one cared him, but Frank was willing to be his friend and help him. "Thanks, but I¡¯m not short of money now." Josh put the thousand dors on Frank''s hand. Josh had wanted to pay Frank back ten times as much, but he knew that Frank would never take the extra money he gave him, so he decided to help him out more in the future to repay his kindness to him. "Okay, if you''re short on money, let me know," Frank said. "Josh, you be rich? You can pay back a thousand at a time. I guess you sell yourself for money." Tigerughed loudly. "Tiger, you better talk politely." Josh said with a frown "Fuck, you dare talk back." said Tiger. ¡°You are challenging me?¡± Tiger mmed the table down, angry. He seemed to be about to hit Josh. In his eyes, Josh was a coward so he could bully him. "Tiger, if you bullied me today, I''ll make your miserable soon." Josh stared at him. ¡°So don''t piss me off.¡± Tiger''s behavior before had already made Josh feel a little angry. In the past, Josh really didn''t dare to offend Tiger, but now that Josh was the grandson of the richest man in the Southwest, he wouldn''t be afraid of Tiger anymore. "Ridiculous. What confidence do you have to say something like that? I''d like to know how a poor boy like you is going to make my end miserable after I beat you." said Tiger arrogantly. Frank was busy standing in front of Josh. "Josh is a little out of his mind today. I''ll apologize to you on his behalf. Please forgive him." "You fuck off! Or I''ll beat you up too." The Annoyed Tiger pushed Frank away. "Stop it!" Just then, someone called out. Josh saw Jane, the monitor, stand up. Jane was petite in appearance, with a fairplexion and long dark hair. She was about one and a half meters tall and had a very good figure. She was considered a beauty in the school. "Tiger, this is the ssroom! And it''s ss time. If you dare bully ssmates, I''ll tell the guidance counselor," Jane said. Jane''s outburst made Josh feel a little surprised. He wasn¡¯t a friend of Jane and they two had never even spoken to each other. Now what she did would offend Tiger. "You''re helping him? His family is poor, and you don''t get the benefit of helping him." Tiger said. He felt disappointed in Jane. Jane bit her lips, "As the monitor, I can''t let you bully my ssmates." "Oh, so what? I just want to bully and beat him." Tiger looked arrogant. Then he swung his fist and he was about to hit Josh. "Josh, look out!" Frank yelled in panic. Jane also looked worried as she saw the scene. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Under the gaze of the ss, Josh dodged Tiger''s fist, and then he picked up the pen on the table and poked Tiger''s shoulder with it. With a miserable scream, the pen pierced directly into Tiger''s shoulder, and then his wound was bleeding. This scene frightened the students present. They all turned pale. "He''s so cruel." "How dare he hurt Tiger? Doesn¡¯t he know Tiger''s background? He really didn''t want to live." Josh used to give his ssmates the impression that he was a very cowardly man, so no one expected Josh to dare hurt Tiger. Even Tiger didn''t think Josh would dare to hurt him. "Tiger, I''m not afraid of you." Josh said coldly. "You guys help me kill him!" Tiger yelled wildly at the people behind him. "Stay away from me, or I''ll kill anyone whoes near me." Josh picked up another pen and yelled at the same time. The few people behind Tiger were clearly a little scared. The ferocity with which Josh had just hurt Tiger hadpletely shocked them. Tiger''s men were usually rampant, but they were scared when they met someone who was even more powerful than them. "Tiger, you''ve lost so much blood. We¡¯d better take you to the hospital first." One man said. The others nodded and moved forward to assist Tiger. They didn''t want to fight Josh at the risk of their life. Tiger could only nod when he saw the blood on his shoulder and felt the severe pain. "Josh, how dare you hurt me? Just wait for my revenge." Tiger yelled in anger. Then Tiger was helped out of the ssroom by his man. Tiger was furious. He made up his mind that when he got back from the hospital, he would take revenge on Josh to relieve his anger. "Well, I''ll wait for you!" Josh smirked. At that moment, all the students in the ssroom looked at Josh with admiring look. Josh''s behavior made them feel very excited. After all, Tiger was bossy in the ss and most of the students hated him. But they all knew that the consequences of hurting Tiger were definitely not something Josh could bear. "Josh, well done." Frank said excitedly. Then Frank was worried. "But we can¡¯t mess with Tiger. You''ve just hurt him. He''s bound to get back at you, what should you do then?" "I''m not afraid of him getting back at me." Josh grinned. "I''m just waiting for him to get back at me." Josh was now confident that he could deal with Tiger. He didn''t want to be bullied by Tiger all the time. Now it was the time for him to use his power to get back at him. However, Frank let out a long sigh, "You''re bragging again. Things have gone this far. There is no good way to solve your troubles. I can only wish you good luck." In the president''s office, the secretary handed a file to the president. "Mr. Zhou, this is Josh''s file." The president took the file and examined it carefully. "Hees from a single-parent home and a poor family?" The president was filled with surprise after reading the file. ording to the file, Josh had applied for a schrship in the previous two years. "How could someone who has ten million to donatees from a poor family?" said the president. "Mr. Zhou, perhaps this file is a fake. It''s easy to create a fake dossier. He''s supposed to want to keep a low profile, so he made donations anonymously." The secretary said. The president nodded, "Maybe. I think that his identity is not simple. Remember not to offend him.¡± At night, Josh sat at Starlight Bar. ¡°Miss, I want a profile of Tiger Zhang, a sophomore at Qingyang University." said Josh. Then he handed money to the beautiful woman inside the bar. The woman had burgundy wavy long hair. She had thick eyshes, seductive eyes, which revealed her voluptuous. She was a very beautiful woman. She seemed to attract man¡¯s attention all the time It was the woman who gave the information about Huading Group''s branch in Qingyang to Josh yesterday. ¡°Sir, it''s you again. Please have a drink first. I''ll give you the information right away." the woman smiled and then took the money. Josh was drinking while thinking about how to deal with Tiger. He knew that Tige would definitely retaliate against him. Josh needed to get specific information about his family first so he could better deal with Tiger. Ten minutester, Josh got the information about Tiger. ording to the information, Tiger''s father''s name was Guoming Zhang, the owner of Qingyang Hongda Construction Materials Company with assets of nearly 100 million. His father''spany was one of the main suppliers of building materials to the Huading Group¡¯s branch in Qingyang City. "That¡¯s Interesting." Josh smiled. He didn''t expect thepany of Tiger¡¯s father to be one of his company''s suppliers. Chapter 7 Danger Shows Up Chapter 7 Danger Shows Up ¡°Think about this, mydy: What would happen to Tiger Zhang¡¯spany if Huading Group ceases the cooperation with it?¡± Asked Josh to Meifu. ¡°It¡¯s going to be the end of it. Hispany couldn¡¯t live on without Huading¡¯s help.¡± Answered Meifu. ¡°Is it so?¡± Said Josh as his smile seems more delighted and a scheme popped up in his mind. ¡°Call me Gail if you don¡¯t mind, everyone around here call me this way.¡± Said Meifu as she smiled back. ¡°Sure, Gail.¡± Said Josh like a gentleman. ¡°May I know your name now?¡± Said Gail. At first she thought that Josh was just a ghetto boy judging by the sloppy clothes on him, bu doubts hit her after witnessing how Josh squandered his money as he was collecting information. Josh drank the cup of alcohol to the bottom and said:¡±Josh, Josh Lin.¡± Gail checked her memory and found no Josh that she knew of in the QIngyang City. Josh put the cup back and asked:¡±How much dose this cup of liquor cost?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t bother, drinks on me.¡± Smiled Gail. ¡°My Thanks.¡± Said Josh as he rose to his feet and was ready to leave, he didn¡¯t like bars that much. But he stopped as he noticed the girl singing on the stage. ¡°Jane?¡± It immediately reminded him of what happened that afternoon when Jane stopped Tiger as Tiger got pissed and threatened Josh. ¡°What the hell is she doing here?¡± Jane had always been a hard-working straight-A student to Josh, and seeing her working in a bar just nearly blew his mind off. Josh checked her out twice and came to a conclusion that it was definitely Jane, as surprised as he was. ¡°Well...she¡¯s really a good singer.¡± Josh knew that Jane has a nice voice but didn¡¯t know that she sings well. He turned around and hid himself in the crowd where there are naughty youngsters cheering up for Jane, shouting out dirty talks and flirting lines, but they were mostly just joking since they all knew it¡¯s better to behave themselves in ces like bars, there are eavesdroppers. Josh stepped up to Jane as she got off the stage, she looked much more beautiful with make-up on her face. ¡°What a coincidence, Jane, didn¡¯t know that I would see you here.¡± Jane seemed nervous:¡±I¡¯m not...Jane, you must have mistaken me for her.¡± Jane chose to work in this bar since it¡¯s quite far away from the school, but there she was with Josh, as much as she tried to be away from her ssmates. ¡°I don¡¯t think so, Jane. People could be looking alike, but could they be having the same, say, signature on their body? They mole on your corbone, I saw it.¡± Smiled Josh. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. He continued as Jane was still in shock:¡±This is a chance for me to return the favor you did for me this afternoon. Drinks on me now, if you don¡¯t mind.¡± Josh was curious about why was Jane working there in a bar where doesn¡¯t look like a ce that she would even visit, meanwhile he could feel it that Jane must have something to tell about it. ¡°I don¡¯t drink, Josh, if you really want to return the favor just don¡¯t tell anyone that I work here, okay?¡± Said Jane, nearly begging. ¡°Sure, but could you tell me why you¡¯re working here?¡± ¡°I need money.¡± Said Jane, head down. ¡°There are other options! You know what this kind of ce is like and what kind of people could be here, it¡¯s not safe for you.¡± Said Josh. ¡°We have protection here, hardly had anyone caused any trouble here, but thank you anyway.¡± Said Jane as she looked up. Suddenly a man in suit and tie walked near them, Jane turned to him and greeted immediately:¡±Manager Zhou!¡± Okay, a manager. The man nced at Josh and the said to Jane:¡±Don¡¯t waste your time here, fix your make-up and get ready for next song, chop-chop!¡± As Jane nodded and was ready to leave with the manager, Josh walked up and patted on the manager¡¯s shoulder:¡±Wait! Her job is done here!¡± The manager frowned and uttered:¡±Who the hell are you to make the call?¡± ¡°Sir, he¡¯s my ssmate, he¡¯s just joking!¡± Said Jane hurriedly. ¡°ssmate? Could be your boyfriend, huh? Is that why he doesn¡¯t want you to work here?¡± Said the manager as he checked Josh out,¡±Piss off, you ghetto boy!¡± ¡°Ghetto boy?¡± Sneered Josh, soon he took out a pile of cash and tossed it all at the manager,¡±Does this cover your loss of her working here?¡± Noticing that the manager was in shock, Josh took out another pile of cash and smashed it at the manager¡¯s chest and shouted:¡±How about now? Is it enough?¡± The manager gulped out of surprise, for he had never seen anyone doing such thing in the bar. Soon he was met with another pile of cash from Josh, along with his voice:¡±How, about, now!¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Said the manager as he nodded, he was smart enough to know that it¡¯s better not to mess with people like Josh, let alone all the money he threw at him. ¡°Then take the money and get lost!¡± Eximed Josh, after which he left the bar with Jane. ¡°How...how did you get that much money? Is it something illegal you¡¯ve done?¡± Asked Jane as they got outside, still confused. She still remembered that Josh just applied for financial aid in school, and Josh always seemed like a poor boy to her. ¡°Will you believe it that I¡¯m the grandson of Moses Liu?¡± Smiled Josh. ¡°The Moses Liu of Huading Group? Wait...you¡¯re kidding, right?¡± Asked Jane. ¡°It does sound like kidding, but nah. I don¡¯t even believe that either.¡± Said Josh as he shrugged, then he handed Jane a pile of cash, twenty thousand in total,¡±Take that, and don¡¯t evere back to this ce again.¡± ¡°No, Josh, we¡¯re just ssmates, I can¡¯t take it!¡±Said Jane. ¡°You need help, and I don¡¯t want to see youpromising your dignity working in ces like that because of shortage of money.¡± Said Josh as he grabbed Jane by her hand and ced the money on it,¡±And I will never tell anyone this little secret of yours, see ya.¡± Josh smiled and left, Jane looked lost as she fixed her eyes on Josh. ¡°Josh...¡± Josh thought back on the old days as he¡¯s waiting for a cab, back when he always dreamt about having his own car. It used to be nothing more than a fantasy to him, but now he could actually buy any car he wanted, which was also was he was nning about. Suddenly, a ck car parked near him, from which came four men in ck. ¡°Get in there, boy!¡± Said on of them as they grabbed Josh into the car. ¡°Who...who are you?¡±Asked Josh worriedly as the car drove away. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know, for our order is to beat the crap out of you until you¡¯re braid-dead.¡± Said a bald guy in the car. Josh felt a tinge of fear in his heart, it was true that he¡¯s be wealthy, but money didn¡¯t make him physically stronger. He¡¯s like half a batman, the money half. ¡°Did Wu¡¯s family give you the order? Or the Tiger?¡± Asked Josh, frowned, those are the only enemies of him that he could think of. ¡°Shut up!¡± Said the bald guy as heid a intimidating re at Josh. ¡°Fine,whatever they promised to pay you, I¡¯ll double it, then you take whoever gave you the order to me!¡± ¡°I said shut up! And don¡¯t you know what professional ethics mean?¡± Shouted the bald guy. ¡°Five times!¡± Said Josh as he reach his hand out and showed them a five. ¡°Five times?¡± Murmured the other guys, even the bald one was wavering. ¡°Okay, ten! Just tell me who gave you the order!¡± ¡°He said ten times, bro! We can¡¯t miss such a deal!¡± The other three guys had swayed. ¡°Ten times? That would be ten million, are you sure?¡± Asked the bald guy. Chapter 8 The Dream of Having A Fancy Car Chapter 8 The Dream of Having A Fancy Car ¡°Sure, ten million!¡± Josh Lin nodded. ¡°Deal!¡± Shouted the bold guy, and there went his professional ethics. They gave Josh a bank ount and soon received five million from josh. Josh asked while they were still cheering:¡±So who gave you the order?¡± ¡°Dayong Wu.¡± ¡°Dayong?¡± Said Josh, squinted eyes zed with rage. They dropped Josh off the car after Josh transferred them five million again. Josh wanted no trouble of Shaw and his father after he fired them, but attempting to murder him was beyond Josh¡¯s tolerance. ¡°Shaw...you¡¯ll get what you deserve!¡± Murmured Josh as he took out the phone and made a call to Bob, his new manager,¡±Bob, I¡¯m around Tianlin road, pick me up here, got something we need to talk about.¡± Half an hourter, Bob parked his Benz near Josh. ¡°Sir, it¡¯s quitete, what are you doing here? It¡¯s quite remote from downtown.¡± Asked Bob, surprised. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org ¡°I¡¯ll walk you through it.¡± Said Josh as he got in the car. On the way back, Josh told Bob everything. ¡°How dare this bastard!¡± Uttered Bob,¡±Sir, Shaw and his father had been mooching off from our ¡°Is it? Let¡¯s get them there in the prison and leave them regretting there then, you do it.¡± Said Josh, eyes squinted. He was actually thinking about doing the same thing to the Wu¡¯s, but Bob¡¯s idea changed his mind. ¡°Sure sir, you got me on this.¡± Said Bob with confidence. ¡°And Bob, is Hongda Construction Materials in cooperation with us?¡± Asked Josh, it was Tiger¡¯s company. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Would it be of harm to us if I put a stop to it?¡± ¡°No, sir, we can just find anotherpany. This Hongdapany managed to be in cooperation with us because they bribed Shaw and his dad in the first ce.¡± ¡°I see.¡± ¡°And sir, quite many of our partners have know that you¡¯ve be our new chairman, they all want to wee you, including that Hongda you mentioned.¡± Bob stopped for a while and continued,¡±I¡¯m thinking about throwing a small party where you can meet them all, what do you think, sir?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Josh nodded. Then Bob drove Josh back to school and decide to throw the party on Saturday. In Liu¡¯s Manor, Zhongzhou City, Moses was on a call. ¡°Are you sure that Josh is safe now?¡± Asked Moses. ¡°Yes, sir, I¡¯ve been following him, he¡¯s arrived at school safe and sound.¡± A croaky voice answered from the other side of the call. ¡°Okay, how did you escape from the kidnappers?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know, sir.¡± The voice answered, soon continued,¡±Should I kill Shaw and his father?¡± ¡°No, Josh should take care of this by himself, this is something he has to learn. Gng, just stay around him and keep him safe.¡± Says Moses after which he hanged up the phone ¡°Sir, Josh nailed this perfectly, and all by himself! I thought we would have to ask Gng to do the job!¡± Said Moses¡¯ secretary, Zhang. ¡°He surprised me too, thought he was too young to handle this by himself, but he surely did a good job.¡± Smiled Moses as he gently stroke his long beard. ¡°I¡¯m so curious about what he did to solve the danger!¡± Said the secretary. ¡°So am I! Surely I¡¯ll ask him next time hee here.¡± Laughed Moses. The next day morning, in the Wu¡¯s vi, Shaw and Faye were in the living room. ¡°Shaw, are you really sure that your n would work out?¡± Asked Faye. ¡°Sure as hell! He¡¯s doomed this time!¡± Shaw smiled, thinking that the n made by him and his dad was perfect. Dayong walked down from upstairs, looking anxious:¡±Have you got a call from them, son? I tried calling them but none answered.¡± The four guys should¡¯ve taken care of Joshst night and called them already, but neither Shaw nor his father got any calls or texts from them, not to mention that Dayong just found out that the bald man¡¯s phone¡¯s off. Shaw got anxious as well:¡±Could it be that...something went wrong?¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be! Our n is perfect! Maybe his phone ran out of power, let¡¯s just wait.¡± Suddenly there came someone knocking on the door. ¡°It must be the baldy!¡± Said Shaw as he ran to open the door with Dayong in tow. The door was opened, and they were met with Bob. ¡°Bob?¡± Eximed Shaw and his father. ¡°I¡¯m here to tell you that our Chairman, Mr Josh Lin, is safe and sound. The little trick of yours is just too sloppy to do him any harm.¡± Said Bob, smilingly. ¡°What? He¡¯s fine?¡± Eyes filled with disbelief, Shaw and his father had no idea how did Josh escape from their n. ¡°Yes, his fine, but you won¡¯t!¡± Bob sneered, and eight policemen burst in the vi and detained Shaw, Dayong, Faye and everyone else of Wu¡¯s family. ¡°What the hell are you doing!¡± Shaw and Dayong both shouted as Faye was trembling in fear. ¡°Don¡¯t you have any idea of how much money you had mooched off from us? I¡¯ve got the evidence and now it¡¯s your turn to take the consequence!¡± Bob sneered again. ¡°What?¡± Uttered Dayong, he knew it clearly. ¡°Our Chairman thought firing you two was enough and had no intention of spiting you any further, but look what you did in return! Now you have to pay for it!¡± ¡°Dad, no! I don¡¯t want to be put in prison!¡± Shaw uttered in fear. Dayong just pped him hard on his face:¡±It was all because of you! Why did you have to mess with Josh and his affairs of romance in the first ce!¡± ¡°Take them!¡± Faye was left alone in shock in the house, for she would lose everything if Shaw ends up in prison. She couldn¡¯t help but thought about how different things could be hadn¡¯t she dumped Josh and chose Shaw, she could¡¯ve benn a Mrs Chairman. But what had been done, done. On the other side of town, Josh skipped the sses and headed to a 4S shop of cars, he used to be poor, but his knowledge of cars wasn¡¯t. He¡¯s already got the idea of what kind of car he wanted. ¡°This is it.¡± Said Josh as he arrived at a Lamborghini 4S shop. He still remember having seen a Lamborghini running on the street before, he was fascinated by the fancy look of this type of sports car and was sure that it was the most beautiful car he had ever seen. He had been dreaming about having a Lamborghini, which was impossible to him before. But now he¡¯s got the money and was only one step away from making the dreame true. He walked right in the shop and found there weren¡¯t many customers inside, since not everyone could afford a Lamborghini. ¡°Wait, sir!¡± Josh was stopped by a salesman near the entrance, who said:¡±Are you...Josh?¡± ¡°Yes, and you?¡± Replied Josh, he found the salesman familiar. ¡°I¡¯m Jimmy, we were ssmates in primary school, don¡¯t you remember?¡± Laughed the salesman. It immediately rang a bell in Josh¡¯s mind:¡±Jimmy! Man, look at you now, got a decent job, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°A pretty good one!¡± Said Jimmy with a tinge of pride, since he noticed the clothes on Josh which led him to the conclusion that Josh must be leading a wretched life, which further boosted his pride. ¡°So what are you doing here, Josh? Looking for a job here? As you can see, we sell fancy cars here, and staffs are all required to have a fancy taste in cars as well.¡± Said Jimmy, smiled but still haughty. ¡°No, Jimmy, I¡¯m here to buy a car.¡± Said Josh. Chapter 9 Thats Not Much Chapter 9 That''s Not Much ¡°You¡¯re here for what? A car?¡± Jimmy¡¯s raised his voice out of surprise. Josh heard Jimmy and other salesmen trying their best to withholdughing out loud, for there had been no customers dressed like Jimmy in their store. ¡°Josh, this is a Lamborghini 4S shop, we sell luxuries, not bicycles.¡± Said Jimmy, still trying not tough out. ¡°So? I¡¯m here to buy a car, what¡¯s wrong about it?Am I not weed here?¡± Said Josh, frowned. ¡°No, no, it¡¯s just...are you sure you can afford one?¡±Said Jimmy, with a sneering smile. The other salesmen sneered along:¡±Every car here costs at least more than one million, kiddo!¡± ¡°Come on, you don¡¯t look like someone that can afford a Lamborghini at all!¡± They just found it possible that a man dressed in that way would have that much money to buy a Lamborghini. ¡°Bunch of snobs...¡± Whispered Josh, people like those salesmen were what Josh resented the most? ¡°You were saying, kiddo?¡± Josh¡¯s words pissed the salesmen off, they were willing to bow as many times as possible to the wealthy, but they wouldn¡¯t even lower their voice talking to someone dressed like Josh. ¡°It¡¯s okay, guys, his my old friend, I¡¯ll take care of this.¡± Said Jimmy as he waved the other guys away. ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯s worth your time, Jimmy, are you sure?¡± Asked one of them. Jimmy walked up to them and whispered:¡±He¡¯s just pretending, let¡¯s keep the drama going and see what he would do.¡± To Jimmy, Josh was there for a job in the shop, his words of buying a car was just trying not to feel embarrassed when he found Jimmy was there. He didn¡¯t buy Josh¡¯s words and decided to y along and wait for the ending where he could humiliate Josh as much as he wanted to. He soon turned to Josh, smiled and asked:¡±So which one are you interested in?¡± ¡°Lamborghini Aventador.¡± Said Josh without a second thought. ¡°Aventador?¡± All the salesmen were surprised, and soon began trying to hold back theirughter again. Aventador cost at least seven million, only the super wealthy silver-spoon would be able to afford one. After suprssing hisughter, Jimmy said to Josh:¡±Alright, I¡¯ll show you around first then.¡± Then Jimmy led Josh to the exhibition hall with all the other salesmen in tow, and soon arrived at a white Aventador. ¡°You gorgeous baby...¡± Just like the one Josh saw before, he marvels at the beauty of Lamborghini every time hey eyes on one. And now there he is, standing right in front of what he had dreamt of so many times. ¡°How much?¡± Asked Josh. ¡°Seven million and five hundred and fifty thousand!¡± Said Jimmy as he tucked his sleeves up, waiting for what Josh would say next since he thought that the price would at least shock Josh. ¡°That sounds reasonable.¡± Said Josh as he shrugged. ¡°Reasonable?¡± Murmured the other salesmen, holding back theirughter as usual. Jimmy didn¡¯t even bother doing it this time:¡±Come on, Josh, do you have any idea how much that is?¡± ¡°I do, it¡¯s not that much.¡± Now everyone around wasughing out loud, including Jimmy, for Josh¡¯s words sounded like he was just being pretentious just to escape from embarrassment. ¡°Just cut your crap, Josh! Not much, is it? Then show us the money! I shit you not, Josh, I¡¯ll resign my job here if you really have that much money!¡± ¡°Yeah, show us the money!¡± The other salesmen sneered along. Josh knew clearly what was Jimmy thinking about, he took his card out of his pocket and said:¡±May I use credit card?¡± ¡°Is that....the diamond card?¡± Theughter of salesmen stopped, they were all shocked. It¡¯s required to put at least ten million in the diamond someone applies for it, and it¡¯s the VIP card of the highest esteem in the bank. There were customers in their shop that used this card to buy a car before. And Jimmy? He found himself numb from head to toe. So Josh was not a ghetto boy but a wealthy millionaire, no, even wealthier. ¡°I¡¯ll take it, let¡¯s just skip the bargaining.¡± Josh handed Jimmy the card. ¡°You...¡± As if shocked by some scary monsters, Jimmy failed to reach his hand out and take the card but stay standing as if lost, staring at Josh in great disbelief. ¡°Jimmy? Come on, take the card!¡± ¡°Ye....yes!¡± Said Jimmy, grabbed the card with his trembling hands, looking pale, fearing that any wrong step he could would piss Josh off, and ran to he manager¡¯s office. Josh turned to the other salesmen, who were all in shock and fear since they weren¡¯t nice to him either, and none of them was able to bear the consequence if Josh decided to get back at them. Soon a fat mid-aged man ran out of the office and got near Josh and greeted him with a big warm smile:¡±Greeting, sir! I¡¯m the manager of this shop, wee!¡± ¡°Wee? Ask you salesmen whether they¡¯ve at least given me a cup of water, I was met with their sneers and spite from the very moment I got in here, and now you¡¯re here saying wee?¡± Josh shook his head and sneered. The manager¡¯s face got stern, he turned to she salesmen and said:¡±What the hell is wrong with you all? Apologize to this our customer, quick!¡± ¡°We¡¯re deeply sorry, Mr Lin!¡± The manager continued:¡±You¡¯ll have no year-end bound or any other bonus reward this year! Now get Mr Lin some coffee!¡± ¡°Yes, sir!¡± Said the salesmen and quickly ran away. Jimmy got back to them with the card in his hand, looking extremely embarrassed and worried. ¡°Finished the payment?¡± Asked Josh indifferently. ¡°Yes, yes Mr Lin, seven million and five hundred and fifty thousand in total.¡± Said Jimmy as he handed back the card, head down. It may be the worst moment in Jimmy¡¯s life, and what¡¯s left in his heart was nothing more than fear and worries. C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org Josh took the card and said:¡±I remember you saying that you¡¯ll resign your job if I show you the money, is it?¡± Jimmy¡¯s face was twitching, what Josh might say next could literally decide his fate. He replied carefully,¡±I¡¯m sorry, really, My Lin! I was just joking! We are old friends, you know I¡¯m just joking!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I knew you enough to call you my friend back in those days, so don¡¯t bother!¡± Said Josh as he turned to the manager,¡±Get this man out of my sight.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Said the manager, nodding. He turned to Jimmy and said:¡±I¡¯ll do you a favor and save you from the trouble of applying a resign: you¡¯re fired! No get the hell out of here!¡± ¡°F...fired?¡± Jimmy had never been more regretful than that moment, he lost a job he worked so hard for because of his snobbishness. The manager call the security whoter kicked Jimmy out of the shop. ¡°So can I just drive my baby away now?¡± Asked Josh to the manager. ¡°We still have some paperwork to run here, we¡¯ll inform you when everything¡¯s ready, usually it would take one day.¡± ¡°Okay then, send the car to my ce when you¡¯re done with your work¡± Said Josh. ¡°Sure, you¡¯re always weed here, Mr Lin!¡± Said the manager as he walked with Josh until he left the shop. Chapter 10 Whose Car Is This? Chapter 10 Whose Car Is This? Josh Lin headed back to school after he left the 4S shop. Tiger wasn¡¯t at school that day, probably still in hospital, and people were still talking about the mysterious donation from one of the students in school who¡¯s apparently super wealthy. Josh found a pile of cash in his desk, twenty thousand, along with a note on which was written:¡±Thank you for trying to help me, but I can¡¯t just take the money like that.¡± There wasn¡¯t a name on the note, but Josh knew clearly that it was Jane that put the money back. ¡°What is she thinking about...why would anyone turn down such a help? Interesting.¡± Josh smiled as he thought to himself. He looked up and fixed his eyes on Jane sitting in front of him, thinking about how different Jane was from his ex-girlfriend, and it was at that moment that Josh found himself kind of having a thing to Jane. Fatty, Josh¡¯s deskmate, walked up to him and patted him on his back:¡±Dude, you¡¯ve got a girlfriend already! Stop staring at her like that!¡± ¡°Not anymore, I broke up with Faye, couple days ago.¡± ¡°Wait, seriously? Why?¡± Fatty was surprised. ¡°She loves money more than me.¡± Said Josh, shrugged. ¡°That¡¯s why you¡¯ve been acting weird these days. I get you man, breaking up is always hard.¡± Said Fatty, soon he patted on Josh¡¯s shoulder and continued,¡±Don¡¯t be obsessed with it, bro, drinks on me tonight!¡± That¡¯s how Fatty dealt with heart-broken friends, and Josh didn¡¯t find it annoying:¡±Sure!¡± Eight pm that night, Josh arrived at the bar where Fatty booked a table for them. It was noisy and crowded in the bar and Josh never liked that kind of environment. ¡°Here, Josh!¡± Shouted Fatty from a seat. Josh nodded and walked near, Fatty whispered to him as he sat down:¡±I¡¯ve got you a pretty girl here, bro, just forget about that Faye!¡± Josh didn¡¯t know until then that Fatty¡¯s trying to help him in this way in case he¡¯s still depressed from the break up. It was not necessary since Josh didn¡¯t really care about it, but still it impressed Josh, and moved him a bit. There are other two girls there with them, one was Mei Zhou, Fatty¡¯s girlfriend, the other was Julia Guo, the girl that Fatty wanted to hook Josh up with. ¡°Cone on, buddy, boys should do the intro first!¡± Said Fatty as he gave Josh a nudge. As uninterested as Josh was, he had to do it in respect of Fatty¡¯s effort. He reached his hand out and said:¡±Hi, I¡¯m Josh.¡± As for Julia, she lost her interest in Josh ever since she noticed the clothes on him. Mouth pouty and face written with a tinge of disappointment, she replied indifferently without epting the handshake:¡±Julia.¡± Josh shook his head and smiled out of bitterness, he knew that Julia looked down upon him. ¡°So it is Josh that you want Julia to meet, Fatty. Why don¡¯t you tell her more about Josh¡¯s family?¡± Said Mei. Josh frowned, apparently Mei¡¯s trying to mock him since she knew that Josh came from a poor family. Josh never liked Mei, he used to warned Fatty of not being together with her, but Fatty valued a girlfriend before nearly everything. ¡°I¡¯m just a ghetto boy, that¡¯s pretty much it.¡± Said Josh. Fatty sensed the awkwardness and said:¡±Well, don¡¯t call yourself like that, bro! We both know that a straight-A student like you would surely be a Mr Big in the future! ¡°Mr Big? What kind of job do you think people in your school could ind? Probably the money he could earn in his whole life can¡¯t even cover a quarter of the cost of a silver-spoon¡¯s car!¡± Sneered Julia. ¡°That¡¯s right! Someone in our school just donated ten million to the school, people whoe from a family like Josh would never even be anywhere close to be a person like that!¡± Mei continued. ¡°True, people like that donator is beyond my imagination.¡± Smiled Josh. Even though it was him that donated the money, neither of the girls would believe it. ¡°Sure he is! Julia¡¯s family runs a bigpany, do you think you deserve to be her girlfriend, boy?¡± Said Mei. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°My apology, but the thing is that she doesn¡¯t deserve to be my girlfriend¡± Said Josh indifferently. It was true, the grandson of the wealthiest person in the Southwest and a girl whose family owns a, to quote, bigpany, everyone knows what does that mean. ¡°How dare you! You just have no idea of the gap between you and her, don¡¯t you?¡± Eximed Mei, as if it was the most humiliating thing she had ever heard. Julia was annoyed as well, for the one she reckoned as a ghetto boy would be so audacious. Julia showed Josh an invitation card to Josh and said:¡±Do you know what this is, boy? The invitation of a party of Huading Group, it¡¯s your privilege to justy your eyes on it!¡± ¡°Huading Group¡¯s party? That¡¯s amazing!¡± Uttered Mei. The influence and wealth of Huading was well- known to everyone in the Qingyang City, and to be invited to Huading¡¯s party would be reckoned as the highest honor. Josh¡¯s smiled turned subtle, he himself was the chairman of the Huading¡¯s branch in Qingyang City, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder how Julia would react once she see him there in the party. ¡°You¡¯re going to the party this Saturday, right? Maybe we can see each other there.¡± Said Josh, still smiling? ¡°Come on, Josh, don¡¯t you tell me you got an invitation as well.¡± Sneered Julia. ¡°I don¡¯t think he did, but it¡¯s possible since we might see him doing the after-cleaning there!¡± Laughed Mei. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s just join the people in the pool!¡± Said Fatty, trying to ease out the vibe. ¡°Sorry, but he doesn¡¯t deserve to dance with me!¡± Said Julia without even looking at Josh, then walked away. ¡°Well...¡± Fatty seemed embarrassed, since he was trying to help Josh out, but things went the wrong way around,¡±I¡¯m sorry, buddy, didn¡¯t know it would be like this.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, Fatty.¡± Josh patted Fatty on his shoulder, he didn¡¯t care about it at all since he knew it was Fatty¡¯s fault, who intended nothing bad to Josh. Fatty stayed with Josh at the table started drinking together. Soon Josh got a call from the 4s shop, he got into the restroom to stay away form the noise and picked up the phone. The manager told him that the car was ready to go and asked him where he want the car to be sent, Josh thought about it for a while and asked the manager to send the car to the bar he¡¯s in at the moment, he¡¯s eager to give his baby Lamborghini a maiden ride. Around half an hourter, Julia and came back from the pool and said:¡±What a boring night, let¡¯s go back.¡± When they got out of the bar, they found a brand-new orange Lamborghini Aventador surrounded by quite many people parked outside. ¡°Damn this beauty!¡± ¡°Who¡¯s car is this? It¡¯s parked here so the owner could be still in the bar, well, we¡¯ll see who¡¯s gonna hook up with him tonight!¡± People were gossiping and taking photos of it, some girls even chose to stay around it to wait for the owner, no wonder people call Lamborghini Aventador the king of night club, and there weren¡¯t that many silver-spoons in the Qingyang City that could afford it. ¡°Wow, a Lamborghini!¡± Eximed Mei and Julia in the same time. ¡°Oh my, what if my boyfriend has a car like this!¡± Murmured Mei. ¡°Come on, this one costs around seven million, it¡¯s beyond my budget however hard I work!¡± Said Fatty. ¡°Who could be the owner of it? I would dearly love to know him.¡± Said Julia, with a tinge of jealousy. Chpater 11 You Dont Deserve It Chpater 11 You Don''t Deserve It Julia Guo¡¯s family did have apany, but it wasn¡¯t of much influence and her father¡¯s car was just around a million bucks. ¡°That¡¯s mine.¡± Said Josh suddenly, and everyone around all fixed their eyes on him. ¡°Come on, buddy, don¡¯t be joking!¡± Said Fatty as he patted Josh on his back, for he knew Josh¡¯s family background more than enough. ¡°I think by that you mean the bicycle over there, right? You ghetto boy.¡± Sneered Mei. ¡°Get yourself a mirror and take a look at your clothes, is being poor not humiliating enough that you¡¯re boasting so hard right now? Shame on you!¡± Julia sneered as well, regretting havinge to the bar. ¡°We¡¯ll see to it.¡± Said Josh with indifference. Soon there came a mid-age man in suit from the driving seat of the Lamborghini, it was the manager of the 4S shop. ¡°See? This is the owner, you Pinhio!¡± Eximed Mei. ¡°Wait...no, he¡¯s not, he¡¯s the manager of a Lamborghini 4S shop, I¡¯ve seen him before.¡± Said Julia. ¡°Then what¡¯s is he doing here with an Aventador?¡± Mei was confused. The manager walked straight to Josh ignoring Julia and Mei, then he handed Josh the key with both hands and with a charming smile:¡±Mr Lin, here¡¯s your car and the key.¡± Julia, Mei and Fatty were all shocked, it turned out that Josh wasn¡¯t boasting at all. ¡°Thank you, manager Zhou, it¡¯s quitete already.¡± Said Josh as he took the key. ¡°My pleasure, Mr Lin, call me anytime you need me, even if it¡¯s two or three am.¡± Replied the manager,¡±I¡¯ll excuse myself now that the car is here.¡± Josh turned to Julia, Mei and Fatty as the manager left, then said to them:¡±I said that we¡¯ll see to it, so, anything you want to say?¡± Josh words brought them back into reality, Mei and Julia took a few gulps, for they knew more than enough what did the car mean: Josh could be one of the wealthiest in Qingyang City! Julia¡¯s disappointment and sneer faded away quickly, she put up a smile and said to Josh:¡±Josh, sorry for having been so rude to you, I must have been out of my mind back in the bar. Let¡¯s head back there and have some fun together, I¡¯ll make it up to you.¡± Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. Everyone could tell what caused the change of Julia¡¯s attitude, Josh pushed her away and said:¡±Who do you think you are to talk to me like this? There are so many sexy and beautiful chicks for me to have fun with, now get lost!¡± Within minutes Josh was surrounded by some other girls with heave make-up. ¡°Hey boy, mind if I have your number?¡± ¡°Could you please buy a drink, handsome?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve got nothing else to do tonight, honey, shall we have fun together?¡± They were all trying their best to gain maybe the tiniest interest from Josh, and most of them were no less charming or beautiful than Julia, those that were less, say,petitive didn¡¯t daree to Josh. Josh turned to Julia and said, indifferent still:¡±See? Don¡¯t bother trying, you superficial and snobbish chick!¡± Julia¡¯s face blushed out of shame immediately, she would¡¯ve pissed off if it was someone else saying it to her, but she dared not even talk back since the car had told how much wealthier Josh was than her. Josh had no interest in the girls around him as well, for he knew what they did for a living. He just took out a pile of cash and tossed it to them:¡±And you, don¡¯t bother either, get off me.¡± ¡°Thank you, handsome!¡± They thanked Josh and all went scrambling for the money, not disappointed at all. Then Josh looked to Mei, who got scared from the stare and then forced out a smile:¡±Josh, it was...I¡¯m sorry, Josh, it was just some misunderstandings, I¡¯m really sorry!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t take it personal since you¡¯re Fatty¡¯s girlfriend, but you won¡¯t have another chance again.¡± Uttered Josh. It was a relief to Mei as she was wondering if only she had been nice to Josh, for it was a chance of being one of the wealthy to her. Then Josh looked to Fatty who¡¯s still in shock, for the Josh he knew was a poor boy from a poor family, how did he just get himself a Lamborghini without Fatty knowing? ¡°Josh...this...¡± ¡°Get in the car Fatty, I¡¯ll tell ya everything on our way back to school.¡± Said Josh. ¡°Go, honey, I¡¯ll just take a taxi back home!¡± Said Mei, the chance of her being Josh¡¯s girlfriend was gone, but she would hold on to being Josh¡¯s friend¡¯s girlfriend. Fatty nodded and got into the car with Josh, still looking shocked. With the roar of the engine, Josh drove the car away. ¡°Dude, just listen to the engine of this baby!¡± Said Josh, nearlyughing. It was Fatty that taught him how to drive back when they used to drive around in a Jetta of Fatty¡¯s parents. ¡°Bro, this is a Lamborghini Aventador! V12 Engine! Man you just made my dreame true, here I am in a Lamborghini!¡± Eximed Fatty, extremely delighted. The then he turned to Josh and asked:¡±Okay, now tell me everything, bro, how the hell di you get this baby?¡± ¡°Do you know who Moses Liu is, Fatty?¡± Asked Josh. ¡°Sure I do! That¡¯s the wealthiest man in the Southwest!¡± ¡°He¡¯s my grandpa.¡± Josh smiled. ¡°Gran...grandpa?¡± Eximed Fatty, nearly screaming,¡±No...no, Josh, you gotta be kidding me!¡± It wasn¡¯t strange that Fatty reacted in this way, it was hard for anyone to believe that the best friend of yours who had been acting and looking like a ghetto boy turns out to be the grandson of the most wealthy man in the city. Joshughed and said:¡±How else do you think I got this baby, then? I was shocked when I knew it as well, but here we are!¡± Fatty nodded, this Lamborghini was indeed the best proof. ¡°And did you know why Mr Butcher got fired?¡± Asked Josh. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Cause I gave our school ten million to fire that bastard.¡± Said Josh. ¡°Wait, so you¡¯re that mysterious donator?¡± Fatty was nearly screaming again,¡±Damn, it exins everything! I thought you were insane from the break up that day when you stood up against him!¡± Fatty continued:¡±Oh, and that Tiger! That¡¯s why you dared threaten him and beat the hell out of him. Man, I¡¯m telling you, none of those bastards stand a chance against you!¡± ¡°Sure they don;t.¡± Joshughed and nodded. ¡°This is so crazy, my man! And so damn amazing!¡± ¡°Fatty, from now on you can just p anyone that dares bully us again, I¡¯ll take care of everything!¡± Said Josh with pride and confidence. Chapter 12 Just Slap Them Chapter 12 Just p Them ¡°p them? Wait, are you serious, Josh?¡± Asked Fatty, eyes wide open. ¡°p them!¡±Smiled Josh. ¡°Alright, buddy!¡± Fatty nearly jumped out of the seat, for there wouldn¡¯t be anyone bullying the min the school from now on. ¡°Come on, Fatty, give this baby a try.¡± Josh parked the car and said to Fatty. ¡°Thank you, my man!¡± Shouted Fatty. It was eleven pm already when they got to the school, Josh parked the car in a nearby parking car. Meanwhile, Julia and Mei were in a taxi. ¡°Don¡¯t you find it strange? Fatty told me that Josh¡¯s literally a ghetto boy, he even took quite many part- time jobs in term breaks, how the hell did he get a Lamborghini?¡± Said Mei. ¡°And why would any wealthy man dress like that? But how do you exin the car, Mei?¡± Asked Julia. ¡°Wait...maybe he rented that damn car!¡± Shouted Mei as if she just solved a crime case. Julia bought Mei¡¯s words:¡±Damn that ghetto bastard! We¡¯ll get back at him!¡± The next day, Tiger was discharged from the hospital, he had been staying there since Josh stabbed him with a pen two days ago. He was wee by his fes at the gate of the school. ¡°Wee back, Tiger!¡± But Tiger looked raged and stern:¡±Where¡¯s Josh? He has to pay for what he did to me!¡± He still remembered the humiliation that day. ¡°Shall we beat the crap out of him, Tiger?¡± Asked a skinny boy of his fes. ¡°No, I want the school to expel that bastard, ruin his life!¡± ¡°But how, Tiger?¡± ¡°The director of students affairs office is my dad¡¯s friend, it won¡¯t be hard for him to fire a ghetto boy from school!¡± Then he headed straight to the office, and greeted the director as he entered:¡±Greetings, uncle Li.¡± There was a fat mid-age man sitting on the chair, the director of the students affairs office. ¡°Tiger! Haven¡¯ seen you for a while, how¡¯s school?¡± ¡°Quite bad, uncle Li.¡± Said Tiger as he reveal his bandaged wound under the cor of his clothe. ¡°What...what happened, Tiger?¡± ¡°A boy in our ss stabbed me here with a pen, right in the ss when there were still many people around. You have to do something, uncle Li, expel him from out school!¡± ¡°That¡¯s...intolerable! You got me, Tiger, what¡¯s his name?¡± ¡°Josh Lin.¡± ¡°Get back to sses now, Tiger, I¡¯ll kick that boy out of our school today!¡± ¡°Thank you, uncle Li!¡± Tigerughed out of relief. Tiger headed straight to Josh as he entered the ssroom. ¡°Oh, Tiger? How may I help you? Putting you back in hospital for a few more days?¡± Said Josh, without lifting his eyes away form textbook. It nearly got Tiger speechless for he hadn¡¯t seen iting that Josh could be still so haughty and calm, he shouted:¡±Be as pretentious as you want, Josh, this is going to be yourst day in school anyway! Director Li of the students affairs office is my dad¡¯s friend, and he had promised me that he¡¯s going to expel you today! This is what you get from standing up against me, you scum!¡± C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org ¡°Wow, expel me?¡± Josh smiled. ¡°You still have a chance, Josh: if you kneel down to me and apologize, and lick the dust away from my shoes, I can spare you some mercy and ask the director not to expel you, right here, right now!¡± ¡°Well, you still have a chance as well: apologize to me, right here, right now, or I¡¯ll ruin your family business, you dad¡¯spany.¡± Said Josh, still smiling. ¡°Just stop your daydreaming, Josh. Ruin my family business, you? A ghetto boy? Come on!¡± Sneered Tiger, though he was surprised that Josh didn¡¯t even budge under his threat. ¡°Well, that¡¯s a no to me then, now you¡¯re riding on a highway to hell.¡± Said Josh as he shook his head. ¡°And this is a no to me as well! Enjoy yourst day in school!¡± Said Tiger and left. ¡°Sure I will.¡± Uttered Josh, eyes fixed on the textbook still. All the ssmates started gossiping:¡±It¡¯s true that Tiger had connection to that director! This may be really thest day of Josh in school.¡± ¡°Not may be, must be!¡± ¡°He¡¯s a brave boy to have stand up against Tiger, but a ghetto boy just can¡¯t to nothing more about it.¡± Everyone was sure that Josh would be expelled except Fatty, for he had known who Josh really was last night. Suddenly, Jane walked near Josh and said:¡±Let¡¯s head to the office, Josh, I¡¯ll tell the director that Tiger started the fight first!¡± It ttered Josh that Jane would do this for him, but Jane was met with Tiger¡¯s mocking:¡±You¡¯re so naive, Jane! Who do you think you are? Well, try your best then, but you¡¯ve got no connection, see? Connection!¡± ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re a straight-A student, but what else do you have to talk the director out of his decision?¡± Tiger¡¯s fes sneered along. ¡°Don¡¯t you pull your connection on me!¡± Eximed Jane. She would never forget how Josh helped her out in the bar, so now she¡¯s trying to return the favor. Josh looked to Jane and said:¡±I appreciate it, Jane, but I can handle this by myself. Don¡¯t worry, no one can expel me from this school.¡± ¡°But...¡±Jane was still worried, since he knew that Tiger came from a wealthy family which Josh stood no chance against. ¡°And you won¡¯t be of help to me at all, Jane, no offense. It won¡¯t change anything even if we do head to the director.¡± Said Jane as he shook his head. Jane nodded and left, disappointed. One of Tiger fe asked Tiger:¡±Will you be there in the party that Huading throws tomorrow, Tiger?¡± ¡°Of course! My dad¡¯spany is their partner, I will definitely be there!¡± Said Tiger with pride. ¡°Bro, that¡¯s Huading¡¯s party!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so damn privileged to be there, Tiger!¡± Everyone in the ssroom were all jealous about it, for they all knew the influence and wealth of Huading¡¯s Group, whoever that had been invited to its party were either wealthy or influential. Tiger sneered as people¡¯s talking filled up his vanity:¡±I am! But some ghetto boy may never have such a chance in their whole life.¡± He didn¡¯t look at Josh, but people all knew who he¡¯s referring to. Josh smiled and said:¡±We never know, Tiger, maybe we¡¯ll se each other in the party.¡± ¡°You? You¡¯d better think about what you¡¯ll be facing with soon, Josh, you¡¯ll get expelled!¡± Sneered Tiger. Fatty patted on Josh¡¯s back and whispered:¡±Dude, will you be there in the party?¡± ¡°Well, I nned the party.¡± ¡°What?¡± It surprised Fatty, but soon he continued,¡±So you and Tiger will surely see each other tomorrow?¡± ¡°If he shows up, yeah.¡± Josh nodded. ¡°Oh boy, think about it! Think about what he will look like at that moment!¡± Cheered Fatty. ¡°You want to see it? Join me tomorrow then, I¡¯ll pick you up and get you there.¡± ¡°Awesome!¡± Fatty nodded, for he would dearly love to see how embarrassed Tiger would look like, and he would also like to have some in the party. Chapter 13 Dine-And-Dash Chapter 13 Dine-And-Dash The sses in the afternoon passed quickly, Tiger Zhang kept waiting for director Li toe to the ssroom and announce expelling Josh from the school in front of everyone, but nothing happened that afternoon. Josh walked to Tiger as all the sses ended and said:¡±Do you mind me asking whether something went wrong? I¡¯m still here in the school, Tiger.¡± Other students began gossiping again, and Tiger¡¯s face turned stern immediately. People would reckon that he was just boasting about kicking Josh out of school, by when he would lose face, probably the worst time ever. He just rose to his feet and left the ssroom as fast as possible. ¡°What is uncle Li doing? He made a promise!¡± Tiger thought to himself as he left. Josh walked to Jane and smiled:¡±See? I told you I won¡¯t get expelled.¡± Jane nodded and let go of her worries, she had been nervous worrying about Josh the whole afternoon. ¡°Buy thank you anyone, you¡¯re the only one that stood up for me.¡± Fatty got near them and joked:¡±Jane, did you try to protect him because...you have a thing to him?¡± Jane¡¯s face blushed immediately:¡±N...no! I¡¯m the monitor of this ss, it was what I had to do!¡± Then she ran out of the ssroom. ¡°Well...¡± Josh was kind of embarrassed, Jane left him no chance of asking her out for dinner. Meanwhile in the students affairs office, Tiger was trying to find out what happened. ¡°You promised that you would kick him out today, uncle Li, what happened?¡± Asked Tiger angrily. ¡°Sorry, kid, I can¡¯t do it.¡± The director shook his head. ¡°What? Why?¡± ¡°The headmaster won¡¯t let me, he didn¡¯t tell me why either.¡± C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org ¡°What? What is his connection to the headmaster?¡± ¡°Not that I know of, you can ask headmaster by yourself.¡± Said the director as he shrugged. ¡°Damn!¡± Surely Tiger wouldn¡¯t go for the headmaster for he¡¯s got no connection to him, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder how to maintain his influence in the ss since he had threatened Josh that he would be expelled, which didn¡¯t happen. On the other side of the school, Josh asked Fatty out for a dinner in Shengtan Restaurant, a fancy restaurant near the school with exquisite decorations and soothing vibe. It¡¯s quite famous in their school, but Josh had never tried it before. ¡°Thank you for not leaving me behind after you got rich, bro!¡± Said Fatty, though Fatty¡¯s parents did have some business to run, he had never eaten in this restaurant before either. ¡°I¡¯m returning the favor, you helped me out quite many times before.¡± Said Josh, for it was Fatty that offered him a helping hand when he didn¡¯t even have enough money for food. ¡°Dude, Jane probably likes you, I mean, that want-to-be-your-girlfriend like.¡± Said Fatty,¡±I shit you not, Josh, she¡¯s perfect! Gorgeous, single, considerate, not a gold-digger, you gotta give it a try, bro!¡± ¡°She¡¯s a nice a girl, yeah, but I¡¯m not in that mood. We¡¯ll see to it.¡± Said Josh. Soon the meals came, all of which were costly specialties that Fatty and Josh would never imagine of having the chance to order back in the old days. Half an hourter, Josh asked for the bill. ¡°Four thousand and three hundred in total sit, would you like to pay with cash or credit card?¡± Said the waitress. The cost of this meal equaled to the living cost of a year of Josh before, but things were different now. ¡°Card.¡± Said Josh as he reached for his wallet. ¡°Wait, where¡¯s my wallet?¡± Josh was shocked as he found that his wallet his gone. He stood up and searched every pocket but still found nothing. He suddenly recalled a man who bumped into him when he was in the restroom, it could be him that took the wallet from Josh. He quickly checked around the restaurant but the man was already gone. ¡°Damn, someone stole it!¡± Uttered Josh. ¡°Stole it?¡± Fatty was surprised. ¡°Could be, someone bumped into me in the restroom, that could be when I lost the wallet.¡± ¡°Well, I¡¯ll take the bill, then!¡± Said Fatty, who searched through all his pockets as well but only found twenty hundred and sixty-eight on him. Well, it could be one of the most embarrassing moment. A man in suit walked near them and asked the waitress:¡±What¡¯s going on here?¡± ¡°Sir, they said that they lost their wallet.¡± ¡°I see. Off you go, I¡¯ll take care of this.¡± The man waved away the waitress and then said to Josh and Fatty:¡±Greetings, gentlemen, I¡¯m the manager of this restaurant.¡± ¡°Uh, greetings, someone stole my wallet when I was in the restroom, can I leave an IOU here and pay for this meal tomorrow?¡± Said Josh with embarrassment. ¡°But I can¡¯t be sure whether it¡¯s true, it could also be that you¡¯re just some dine-and-dashers.¡± Sneered the manager, for Josh and Fatty caught his attention since they walked in the restaurant and they way the dress themselves seemed like that they may not be able to afford a meal here. ¡°Dine-and-dasher? This man right here is the grandson of Moses Liu, watch you mouth!¡± Eximed Fatty. ¡°Grandson? Well, I¡¯m Moses Liu¡¯s granddad, then!¡± Said the manager, he wouldn¡¯t buy it since Josh and Fatty looked like no more than some poor students to him. It irritated Josh a bit:¡±Isn¡¯t it part of your responsibility that my wallet got stolen in your restaurant?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you try to bluff me, sir. You¡¯re just making things harder for you to handle.¡± There wasn¡¯t much Josh could do either, since there were no security cameras in the restroom. ¡°Now you two hear me clear: either you pay, or I call the police.¡± Said the manager sternly. Many of other diners there were also talking about it:¡±What was thest time you see a dine-and- dasher? They should try it in any other restaurants but here.¡± ¡°Why did they even choose here if they don¡¯t have that much money? Fatty seemed nervous as the situation got worse:¡±Josh...any ideas?¡± Josh was pissed, but it was also reasonable for the manager to react in that way, he was careless to had lost the wallet. He thought about it for a while and said to other diners:¡±Could anyone lend me the money to pay the bill please? I¡¯ll leave am IOU and return the favor ten times more tomorrow!¡± ¡°Ten times? That¡¯s forty thousand then!¡± Quite many diners wavered hearing what Josh said, but most of them still had doubts:¡±Look at how he dressed himself? Do you think he really have that much money?¡± ¡°Come on, he couldn¡¯t even pay the meal now, why shall we believe it?¡± It was a alluring offer indeed, but none believed Josh. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll call the police right now.¡± Said the manager as he reached for his phone. Chapter 14 Stranger Chapter 14 Stranger "Wait!" There came a girl¡¯s voice from back of Josh, he turned around and saw a girl with pony tail, dressed in white jacket and blue jeans, eyes gleamed with the beauty of youth. She¡¯s gorgeous! It was the first thing that hit Josh¡¯s mind, after which he fixed his eyes on her until the girl walked near them and said to the manager:¡±I¡¯ll pay the bill, card.¡± And her voice was charming! Second thought in Josh¡¯s mind. ¡°Are you sure,dy? They could be just two liars.¡± Said the manager, surprised at what just happened. ¡°I know, and that¡¯s it, just take the card.¡± ¡°Well...okay.¡± The manager nodded, took the card and headed downstairs, as much as he want the police to take care of Josh and Fatty, making money was always the restaurant¡¯s first priority. As for the other diners, they found it a pity that the girl just believed them so easily. ¡°Thank you so much for believing us!¡± Said Fatty. ¡°You¡¯re wee, we could all be in situation like this.¡± The girl smiled back. Josh was also surprised that there would really be someone who¡¯s willing to help, let alone that she¡¯s a gorgeous girl. He asked out of curiosity:¡±Greetings, I¡¯m Josh. May I ask why did you choose to help us? We could be liars, like the manager said.¡± ¡°Whoever you are doesn¡¯t matter! If you are liars, well, I¡¯m just stupid then, but if you¡¯re not, then I just helped two people out when they need it.¡± Said the girl. It was at that moment that Josh realized what would a kind person be like. Soon the manager got back and said to the girl:¡±The payment¡¯s finished, here¡¯s your card and receipt, Miss.¡± What Josh promised came back to his mind, he said to the girl:¡±I¡¯ll give you an IOU now, can I have your number so that I can give you back the money tomorrow? As I promised, ten times more.¡± But the girl turned him down:¡±Thank you, but I¡¯m not doing this for your money, See you!¡± Then the girl left and Josh was surprised again, she just did it out of pure kindness without asking anything in return. ¡°Josh...this is...¡±Fatty stuttered. ¡°Let¡¯s catch her up, Fatty!¡± They immediately dashed out of the restaurant, Josh shouted to the girl as he caught her in sight:¡±Can I at least have your name?¡± The girl stopped, turned around and said:¡±Stranger.¡± Then she got into white Aodi A4 parked nearby, soon the car drove away. ¡°Stranger...¡± Josh mumured. ¡°Josh...is that it? Just let her leave like that?¡± Asked Fatty. ¡°I want to return the favor, too, but we got nothing of her to find out who she is.¡± Said Josh as he threw up his hand. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. But suddenly Josh patted his own head and shouted:¡±The car, the te number! Damn, I was lost when she got up the car and didn¡¯t pay attention to it. Have you got the number, Fatty?¡± ¡°Uh, no, I was lost, too.¡± Said Fatty. ¡°I owe her so much...let¡¯s just see if we can see her again.¡± Josh had barely met anyone with that level of kindness in his life, he would dearly to see that girl again, however the low the odds of if were. ¡°Wait, and that bastard who stole my wallet! Damn it, I¡¯ll find him!¡± Said Josh as he thought back, that thief was the one that put him under such embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯ll help you with it, Josh, we¡¯ll get him!¡± Said Fatyy. Meanwhile, on the car that just drove away, the girl that helped Josh and Fatty out had forgot about how sheid Josh a helping hand. Her phone rang all of a sudden, and she picked it up:¡±Hey, daddy.¡± ¡°Jenny, the party tomorrow is significant to ourpany, don¡¯t bete for it.¡± ¡°Sure, daddy, I won¡¯t be.¡± The girl said so, but she looked worried,¡±But dad, ourpany stands no chance against otherpetitors, we don¡¯t possess arge market share nor do we have advantage in prices, it¡¯s still not likely that we can be Huading¡¯s partner this time, we may have to file for bankruptcy if we fail again.¡± The man on the other side of the call stay silent for a while and said:¡±It¡¯s true that we don¡¯t have that much advantages, let¡¯s just show Huading our sincerity, then just wait for a miracle.¡± The next day was nothing more than a ordinary Saturday to most people, but to Josh it was the party day Bob nned for him where all thepany that has connection to Huading Group were invited. Josh arrived at the Qingyun Hotel, where Bob booked for the party, at nine am. He headed for the VIP lounge on the second floor, took his phone out and started ying games on it. He¡¯s a hard-working student in school, but he¡¯s also a game lover. The door of the lounged were opened and a mid-age man walked in, he said to Josh:¡±Greetings, Chairman Josh, I¡¯m Chairman Bill of Qingyun Hotel, d to see you here.¡± As influential and famous as Qingyun hotel is in the Qingyang City, Huading Group outpowered it in every aspects. Though Josh is just a chairman of Huading¡¯s branch in the Qingyang City, Bill held him in highest esteem, not to mention that Josh was the grandson of Moses Liu. ¡°So you¡¯re Bill, I¡¯ve heard about you.¡± Said Josh as he looked up from the phone. ¡°It¡¯s my honour. So the stories are true, the young chairman of Huading¡¯s branch is truly talented.¡± Said Bill smilingly. ¡°Thank you, Bill.¡± Said Josh as he thought back on the old days again. He had never imagined that he would have the chance of even just stepping in the Qingyang hotel, let alone having the chairman of the hotel showing so much respect to him. ¡°Here¡¯s a diamond VIP card of our hotel, it grants the highest level of service here.¡± Said Bill as he showed Josh a card. ¡°That¡¯s really nice of you, thanks.¡± Josh took the card, and it delighted Bill, then he excused himself:¡±I have other errands to run elsewhere, call me anytime you¡¯re in need.¡± An hourter, the representatives of thepanies that were invited began to arrive at the hotel, Bob stayed at the entrance to wee them. A Benz parked outside from which came a bald mid-age man and a young man. ¡°President Zhang and Tiger Zhang, greetings!¡± Said Bob as he gave them a handshake. Dachun Zhang, Tiger¡¯s father, smiled back and said:¡±Congrattions on your triumph, president Liu, now that Shaw and his father were gone, the future lies bright ahead of you! Mypany would also need your help.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not the one to make the call, it¡¯s our new chairman that could decide who he wants to help/¡± Said Bob, he was being clear that it¡¯s up to the new chairman whether the cooperation between Huading¡¯s Group and Dachun¡¯spany could continue. ¡°Of course, of course.¡± Said Dachun. Chapter 15 Meeting Tiger Zhang Chapter 15 Meeting Tiger Zhang ¡°So where is your new chairman?¡± Asked Dachun Zhang, Tiger was also curious about it. ¡°He¡¯s taking his time in the VIP lounge, you¡¯ll all meet him when the paty begins.¡±Said Dachun. Dachun had to leave a positive impression on the new chairman so that the cooperation between Huading and hispany may continue, so he said:¡±Mai I visit him in the lounge now?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell him about this, but it¡¯s up to him to decide whether he wants to see you.¡± ¡°Okay, then please tell him that I would dearly like to see him now.¡± Smiled Dachun. Hispany ran local construction materials buisseness and was rather lesspetitive, he had to try his best to gain as much help as possible from Huading, the toppany in the Southwest. Josh¡¯s phone rang soon after Bill left, it was Bob. ¡°Hey, Bob.¡± ¡°Sir, the president Zhang of Hongda Construction Materials and his son, Tiger Zhang, would like to see you in the lounge now.¡± ¡°Tiger and his dad, interesting.¡±Said Josh, thinking back on what happened yesterday in the school, how Tiger threatened him but now Tiger and his father were trying to cotton up to him. It¡¯s truly a mad world ¡°Okay, get them up here.¡± Said Josh and then he hang up the phone. Meanwhile at the entrance of the hotel, Dachun asked as Bob hang the phone up:¡±So, did he agree?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll take you there to the lounge.¡± C¨°ntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org ¡°Awesome!¡± Eximed both Dachun and Tiger, not knowing that it was Josh waiting for them there. ¡°Please follow me.¡± Said Bob as he walked into the hotel and headed for the lounge. ¡°President Liu, could you tell me more about this young chairman of yours? I heard that he¡¯s quite young and has powerful connections.¡±Asked Dachun. ¡°Both of it are true, young, and probably the most powerful connection.¡± ¡°Oh...¡± Dachun and Tiger got more curious,¡±So what exactly is it, the connection he got?¡± ¡°He¡¯s the grandson of Moses Liu.¡± ¡°Moses Liu?¡± Dachun and Tiger were more of scared than surprised, since Moses, the founder of Huading Group and the wealthiest man in the Southwest, was someone they never even dared think about having the chance to even get close to. ¡°That¡¯s really a...powerful connection.¡± Murmured Dachun. ¡°Dad, this is really happening! We have the privilege to meet a Mr Big now!¡± Said Tiger. ¡°So be extra careful, son, mind yournguage and manners!¡± Said Dachun, for he knew how much this meeting could bring him if things worked out well. ¡°Sure I will, dad, don¡¯t worry!¡± Soon they all arrived at the lounge, Bob knocked on the door and was met with a voice from inside:¡±Come in.¡± The next moment, Josh was sitting of the couch, waiting for his revenge as Bob, Dachun and Tiger walked into the room, and the smile on Tiger¡¯s face froze as soon as he recognized Josh. ¡°Jo...Josh?¡± Tiger thought to himself,pletely in shock. He double checked the room and found no one else. ¡°President Zhang, and Tiger Zhang, this is Josh Lin, out new chairman.¡± It was at that moment that Tiger had the feeling of he might had fucked things up. Dachun didn¡¯t know the grudge between Josh and Tiger, he just bowed and said:¡±Greetings, chairman Lin, I¡¯m Dachun Zhang, the president of Hongda Construction materials.¡± Then Dachun looked to Tiger and found that Tiger remain silent and still as if lost. He frowned and uttered:¡±Manners, Tiger!¡± ¡°How...how can this be?¡± Tiger was nearly screaming from shock, for it could be thest thing in the world that he would imagine that Josh was the new chairman of Huading¡¯s branch in Qingyang city. ¡°Tiger! What are you doing!¡± Dachun was pissed and just kicked on Tiger¡¯s leg. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Dachun, don¡¯t be mad. We know each other, and we¡¯re ssmates.¡± ¡°ssmates?¡± Dachun was shocked. Josh rose from the couch and slowly walked to Tiger with a subtle smile:¡±How are you doing, buddy? I told you yesterday that we could see each other at the party, see?¡± ¡°How...how can you be the new chairman? And the grandson of Moses Liu? Something must be wrong in this!¡± Tiger was still trying to deny it. ¡°Manners, Tiger Zhang! Josh Liu IS the new chairman of our branch and the grandson of Moses Liu!¡± Condemned Bob. And Tiger? He nearly lost his mind. As reluctant as he was to ept the reality, he couldn¡¯t change it. It also came back in his mind that the director of students affairs office told him that the headmaster of the school won¡¯t let him fire Josh, and also the moment Josh stabbed him with a pen. He didn¡¯t realize what did Josh¡¯s powerful connection stand for until then Tiger was sweating and trembling in fear, he was lucky enough to be still alive. Dachun sensed the nervousness on Tiger¡¯s face and eximed:¡±Tiger, have you wronged chairman Lin before?¡± ¡°I...¡± Tiger felt nothing but desperation in his heart. Dachun also realized where the situation could go, he got incensed and kicked Tiger down on the ground and shouted:¡±Kneel down and apologize to him, you bastard!¡± If anything go wrong in the party, the cooperation Dachun fought so hard so could be stopped, and at that moment it looked like it would surely be stopped because of whatever the hell Tiger did to Josh before. Tiger knew it as well, since Josh could easily ruin his father¡¯spany, just like what he said that day. He immediately knelt down and uttered as he kept pping his face:¡±I...I¡¯m really sorry, chairman Lin. I was too stupid to have done those things to you! Please forgive me, please, chairman Lin!¡± ¡°Wait, didn¡¯t you ask the school to expel me yesterday? Come on, don¡¯t just give up like that!¡± Sneered Josh ¡°That...that was...¡± ¡°I gave you a chance but you turned in down and hopped on the highway to hell, don¡¯t me me, buddy, it¡¯s all your choice.¡± Tiger¡¯s fear peaked at the moment, he crawled near Josh and continued:¡±Please, Josh! We¡¯re ssmates, we don¡¯t have to be so harsh on each other!¡± If Tiger used to behave like a king in front of Josh, he was nothing more than a ve at that moment. ¡°Get lost!¡±Josh scorned as he kicked Tiger away, he had decided to show Tiger and his father no mercy. Josh put his hands in his back and said to Bob:¡±Bob, the cooperation between ourpany and Dachun¡¯s stops right now, and there won¡¯t be any either.¡± Chapter 16 Joshs Friend Was Beaten Chapter 16 Josh''s Friend Was Beaten ¡°Yes, Chairman Lin!¡± Bob nodded. Dachun Zhang couldn¡¯t believe his ears. Hispany would be doomed if Huading Group terminated the cooperation between them. ¡°Chairman Lin, please give us another chance! My son will be severely punished for his mistakes!¡± Dachun begged. ¡°Shut up!¡± Josh frowned. He squinted his eyes and said in a firm voice: ¡°You should feel lucky that I don¡¯t want to keep pursuing this matter, or both of you will have to die for what you did!¡± Dachun¡¯s face went pale after hearing what he said. He felt his heart was pounding violently in his chest. He knew Josh surly has the ability to kill them considering he is Moses¡¯s grandson. Tiger¡¯s legs failed him and he copsed on the ground. Despair was written all over his face. He knew he was seriously doomed. Josh sat on his leather sofa, waved his hand and said: ¡°Get out of here!¡± Bob then opened the door and motioned the two of them to leave. ¡°Please.¡± He said. They walked out of the lounge room hopelessly, and the moment they were outside the room, Dachun delivered a hard p across Tiger¡¯s face. ¡°You bloody fool! Why do you have to mess with Moses¡¯s grandson! You want to get us killed?¡± Dachun roared with rage. ¡°Dad, How was I supposed to know that he is Moses¡¯s grandson!¡± Tiger said. They felt too ashamed to stay there so they left the party right away. In the lounge room, Bob said to Josh: ¡°Chairman Lin, I would terminate our cooperation with Hongda Building Materials Company even if there was no resentment between you and them.¡± ¡°Is that so? What¡¯s your reason?¡± Josh looked at Bob. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°The quality of the materials provided by theirpany is poor, and their price is very high. The only reason why we chose them as a cooperator was because they bribed Wu Family.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Josh nodded. Bob continued: ¡°Chairman Lin, now we must find anotherpany to provide us with building materials. Do you have any rmendations?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll leave it to you. You can find anotherpany for us.¡± Josh said. ¡°Thank you for your trust, Chairman Lin. I will find apany that can give us materials of good quality and reasonable price.¡± Bob felt very d for being trusted by Josh. ...... Fatty, a good friend of Josh¡¯s, arrived at the hotel to attend the drinking party, because Josh told him yesterday that he is weed toe if he wants. So he came to check out how grand this party could be. However, he was stopped at the gate of the hotel by two security guards. They found Fatty¡¯s dress way too in, which was a stark contrast to the other peopleing to Qingyun Hotel, who were dressed in such elegant dresses. ¡°Sir, please wait a second.¡± They said. Fatty looked at them and said: ¡°I¡¯m here to attend Huading Group¡¯s party. What¡¯s the problem?¡± ¡°Sir, can you show us your invitation card?¡± They said. ¡°Invitation card? I was invited by the Chairman of the Qingyang branch office of Huading Group. He didn¡¯t give me an invitation card. He just told me toe.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. You can¡¯t get in without an invitation card.¡± The two guards stood in front of him. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? He didn¡¯t give me the card. He just told me that I cane if I want to. You can ask the Chairman if you want.¡± Fatty said. The two guards burst intoughter as if Fatty just told a funny joke. At that time, the manager of the hotel walked towards them, dressed in a suit. ¡°What is going on here? Why are you quarreling?¡± He asked. ¡°Manager, this gentleman here said he was invited to the party by the Chairman of Huading Group. But he doesn¡¯t have an invitation card.¡± The guards said. Fatty nodded and said: ¡°That¡¯s right. Me and the Chairman are good friends. He invited me.¡± The manager looked at Fatty up and down, and then he alsoughed. He said: ¡°What? You said you and the chairman are good friends? And he invited you?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Fatty nodded. ¡°You are must kidding. If you want me to believe you, you should at least stop wearing those shabby clothes of yours. I think you just want to get in and have some free lunch!¡± The manager said laughingly. Fatty blushed with shame. He never dared toin after being looked down upon, but that day he suddenly remembered Josh would protect him, and Josh once told him that he should not put up with people¡¯s harassment, and that he should fight back bravely. So, Fatty looked up and said : ¡°Are you judging me just because of my clothes? You are such a snub.¡± The manager frowned and said: ¡°What did you call me? Are you tired of living!¡± ¡°I called you a snob! You heard me.¡± Fatty said. ¡°You bastard!¡± The manager roared. He then delivered a hard p across Fatty¡¯s face. Fatty was taken aback by this p. He didn¡¯t believe the manager would hit him. ¡°Did you just p me?!!¡± Fatty widened his eyes. The manager tipped his chin and answered: ¡°Yes, I did. I hope this p can help you to figure out who you really are!¡± He then said to the guards: ¡°Now kick this loser out!¡± The guards then got hold of Fatty and began dragging him away. ¡°Just wait! This isn¡¯t over! You will pay the price for hitting me!¡± Fatty pointed at the manager and shouted. ¡°Fine. I am waiting.¡± The manager said coldly. He didn¡¯t feel threatened at all, because he had met numerous people and he believed he could tell which ss does a person belongs to simply by a nce, and he was pretty sure that Fatty is from the bottom of the social sses, so he was not afraid of him at all. After being dragged out of the hotel by the guards, Fatty took his phone out and called Josh. ...... ¡°What? You were beaten at the gate of the hotel?¡± Josh stood up from his chair after hearing what Fatty said. He was astonished. He continued: ¡°Fine. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be there in a minute.¡± He then hung up the phone. His face darkened. He couldn¡¯t believe his brother was beaten for attending his drinking party. ¡°Chairman Lin, what happened?¡± Bob asked. ¡°My friend was pped by the hotel manager.¡± Josh said coldly. ¡°What?¡± Bob was also surprised. He knew Josh wouldn¡¯t let the matter rest easily. ¡°Bob, let¡¯s go.¡± Josh said. Bob knew the seriousness of this matter, so he followed Josh quickly. Fatty went back to the hotel after calling Josh, and he found the manager was still there. ¡°Why the hell are you still here? You want to be pped again.¡± The manager shouted at Fatty. ¡°Shut up!¡± All of a sudden, someone shouted from behind. The manager turned around and found it was none other than Josh and Bob. ¡°Chairman Lin, Director Liu!¡± The manager was at first shocked, but he soon forced a ttering smile on his face and said: ¡°Why are you here? Chairman Lin and Director Liu.¡± Josh didn¡¯t answer his question. He pushed him away and walked directly to Fatty. ¡°Josh, you are finally here!¡± Fatty said sadly. ¡°Who pped you?¡± Josh asked. ¡°Him!¡± Fatty pointed at the manager. Josh looked at the manager. His eyes were zing with anger. The manager¡¯s face went pale. He now realized that Fatty was not lying. He is really the Chairman¡¯s friend. He fell into despair. He couldn¡¯t believe he just hit the Chairman¡¯s friend. Josh grabbed him by his cor and said: ¡°How dare you to hit my friend! Who the hell do you think you are!¡± ¡°Chairman Lin, please forgive me.¡± The manager¡¯s legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. These two security guards also knelt on the ground. They were so frightened. They still couldn¡¯t believe this fat man is really the new Chairman¡¯s friend, and they couldn¡¯t imagine what would happen to them for offending the Chairman. Josh then looked at Fatty and said: ¡°Fatty, how did he p you? Now I want you to return that p back to him!¡± Fatty nodded. He was seized by a rage after being hit by the manager, and now he could finally release all his anger on him. Fatty rolled up his sleeves and walked to the manager. ¡°Now, do you believe that I am a friend of the Chairman?¡± Fatty looked down at the manager. ¡°I do! I do! Sir, please forgive me.¡± The manager said in a shivering voice. ¡°That¡¯s not gonna happen!¡± Fatty said. He then pped the manager across his face. ¡°This p is what you deserve. And the rest is only for releasing my anger.¡± Fatty then delivered another four ps across his face. Two deep handprint was left on his face, but he didn¡¯tin at all. Fatty felt much better. He then said to the manager with a paternal contempt: ¡°Now remember, do not judge! There are so many people who are greater than you, and you are in no position to look down upon anyone.¡± Chapter 17 Meeting Jenny Again Chapter 17 Meeting Jenny Again ¡°Yes, sir. I will remember what you said!¡± The manager nodded constantly. He broke into a cold sweat. Josh looked at the manager and said: ¡°I¡¯ll tell the Chairman of this hotel about this incident. I believe he will handle it in a proper way.¡± He then walked into the hotel with Fatty. ¡°What? He is going to tell......¡± The manager was so frightened that he copsed on the ground. He knew he would surly lose his job if the chairman of this hotel learned what happened. They walked into the hotel. Josh said to Bob: ¡°Tell the Chairman of Qingyun Hotel about what had happened today.¡± ¡°Yes, Chairman Lin.¡± Bob nodded. Josh then looked at Fatty and said: ¡°How do you feel now? Are you still angry?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m feeling much better. I would never have the guts to take revenge without your help. It feels so good to see him begging for mercy!¡± Fatty said with great excitement. Because it was the first time he retaliated after being bullied, and he knew he would never put up with people¡¯s harassment again. Soon after Josh went back to the lounge, the chairman of the hotel went to him and apologized to Josh and Fatty. He also assured them that the manager would soon be fired. ...... The drinking party was about to start in twenty minutes. Basically everyone invited had arrived at the hotel. There were around forty people. It was a small party because only the business partners of Huading Group were invited to this party. Since the party hadn¡¯t began yet, many bosses were chatting casually in groups of three to five. A middle aged man was seated at a table with a young woman who wore heavy makeups. The woman was none other than the one Fatty introduced to Josh a few days ago at a bar. Her name is Julia. Josh could absolutely recognize her when he saw her because she bragged to Josh that she was invited to Huading Group¡¯s drinking party, not knowing Josh is the Chairman of Huading Group. The man sitting beside her is her father. ¡°Julia, I heard the new Chairman of Huading Group is very young. We will meet him in person after the drinking party, and by then you must leave him a good impression. Our family will have a bright future if you can marry him.¡± Julia¡¯s father said. His point was very clear. He wanted his daughter to seduce the Chairman of Huading Group. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, dad. I¡¯ll try my best.¡± Julia said. She seemed expectant. Julia¡¯s family runs only a smallpany, which is smaller than thepany owned by Tiger¡¯s family. And Julia wants her family to be a great family by marrying the Chairman of Huading Group. Of course, she didn¡¯t know who the Chairman is. ...... In the lounge, Bob said to Josh: ¡°Chairman Lin, the boss of Tiancheng Building Materials Company wants to meet you.¡± ¡°What does he want?¡± Josh asked. ¡°I think he is here seeking for cooperation. We need apany to provide us with building materials, but hispany is small, and the their price is a little high.¡± ¡°Then you just tell him what you think, I won¡¯t meet him.¡± Josh waved his hand. ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Bob nodded and left. Soon after Bob left, Fatty rushed into the lounge, panting heavily. He said in an excited tone of voice : ¡°Josh! Guess who did I just see in the hotel!¡± ¡°Who did you see? Why are you so excited?¡± Josh asked smilingly. ¡°Do you still remember the girl we metst night at the restaurant? The one who paid our bill?¡± Fatty breathed heavily. ¡°Did you just see her? Really?¡± Josh was so surprised that he stood up from his chair in an instant. ¡°Yes! I am one hundred percent sure it is her.¡± Fatty nodded. ¡°What a coincidence!¡± A smile curved Josh¡¯s lips. He had been thinking about the girl and he wanted to pay the money back to her, because he didn¡¯t want to be in her debt. He thought the chance of meeting her again would be very slim, so he was truly surprised that he would see her again so soon. ¡°We need to meet her. We still owe her some money.¡± Josh said, while walking out of the lounge. Jenny, the girl who paid for Joshst night at Shengyan Restaurant, was standing in a corner. She was dressed in a white coat and a pair of jeans. She looked young and lively. She saw her father walking towards her, and she went up to him and asked: ¡°Dad, how did it go? Did you meet the new Chairman of Huading Group? Is he willing to cooperate with us?¡± Her father, a middle aged man who looked rather thin, shook his head with disappointment. ¡°I didn¡¯t see the Chairman. I only talked with Bob, the director. I tried very hard, but he still declined to cooperate with us.¡± Sadness flickered across Jenny¡¯s face. She said: ¡°Dad, don¡¯t feel bad. This is the rule of business. We are still too weak topete with the otherpanies.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Her father nodded. Disappointment was written all over his face. Jenny determined at that moment to talk with the Chairman of Huading Group herself after the party, because she knew her family¡¯spany would go bankrupt if they couldn¡¯t get Huading Group¡¯s cooperation. And this would be theirst chance. ¡°Hello, we meet again.¡± All of a sudden, Jenny heard someone talking to her from behind. She turned around and found it was Josh and his friend Fatty. Basically no one at the party had met Josh earlier, and no one knew Josh is the Chairman. So his sudden appearance didn¡¯t cause anymotion. ¡°It¡¯s you guys!¡± Jenny recognized Josh and Fatty in an instant. But she was obviously surprised to see them here. ¡°I can¡¯t believe we can meet each other again. Obviously I have to give the money back to you.¡± Josh said smilingly. ¡°I am also surprised.¡± Jenny smiled. Josh found her smile warm and sweet. ¡°Can you tell me your name now? After all, this is the second time we meet.¡± Josh said. ¡°Eh...sure. My name is Jenny Huang.¡± Jenny answered after a second¡¯s hesitation. ¡°Jenny. What a lovely name!¡± Josh said. ¡°Oh, Jenny, can I have your ount number? I¡¯ll transfer the money to youter, because I don¡¯t have enough cash. I will prove to you that I am not a liar. My wallet was stolen that day.¡± Josh said. ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. I trust you. You don¡¯t need to give the money back to me.¡± Jenny waved her hand. She never wanted to get the money back. ¡°Jenny, who are they?¡± Jenny¡¯s father asked. ¡°Dad, we met yesterday at a restaurant. He was in a little bit trouble, and I helped him out.¡± Jenny said. ¡°Jenny, you must stop meddling other people¡¯s business. You will get yourself in trouble!¡± Her father said in a strict voice. ¡°I know.¡± Jenny lowered her head and said. Obviously, there were strict disciplines at her home. ¡°Sir, my name is Josh. Nice to meet you.¡± Josh reached his hand out for a handshake. Jenny¡¯s father shook his hand coldly. Josh then looked at Jenny and said: ¡°Jenny, why are you here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to attend the drinking party, of course.¡± Jenny said. ¡°I see. So is your family also cooperating with Huading Group? Can you tell me about it?¡± Josh was very curious. ¡°We would love to cooperate with Huading Group, but ourpany is way too small to get their cooperation.¡± Jenny said. His eyes darkened at the mention of this. Fatty was trying his hardest to refrain augh. Because he had been thinking how would Jenny react if she knew Josh is the Chairman of Huading Group. Josh kept asking: ¡°Jenny, what is the name of yourpany?¡± ¡°Tiancheng Building Materials Company.¡± Jenny said. ¡°Tiancheng Building Materials Company?¡± Josh startled. Because only a few minutes ago, Bob told him that the boss of thispany asked to meet him. At that time, Jenny asked Josh curiously: ¡°What about you? Why are you here? Are you also Huading Group¡¯s business partner?¡± Josh thought about it and answered: ¡°The reason why I am here is because I know I will meet you here, so that I can give the money back to you.¡± Josh didn¡¯t want to tell her about his real identity yet. Jenny smiled after hearing what he said. Jenny¡¯s father¡¯s face darkened. He said: ¡°Hey, young man. You really think it is a good idea to flirt with my daughter in front of me?¡± Josh was speechless. He gave an awkward smile. Jenny also blushed. She said: ¡°Dad, what are you talking about? We are just chatting!¡± Chapter 18 The Chairman Took The Stage Chapter 18 The Chairman Took The Stage Josh also exined: ¡°Mr Huang, I mean no harm. Your daughter helped me yesterday and I just want to give the money back to her.¡± ¡°My daughter also made her attitude clear. She doesn¡¯t want the money anymore. So please stop bothering her.¡± Jenny¡¯s father waved his hand impatiently. He believed Josh was trying to flirt with his daughter, because her daughter¡¯s beauty always makes her a target for these single men. ¡°Who the fuck is this pathetic loser? Is he also trying to flirt with Jenny?¡± All of a sudden, a man¡¯s voice was heard from behind. Josh looked back, and found a young man was walking towards them at a leisurely pace. He was dressed in designer clothes, and he wore an expensive watch. ¡°Gary!¡± Jenny and her father eximed at the same time when they saw him. Their face also changed slightly. Josh frowned. Because that man was obviously talking to him just now. Gary stopped in front of Josh and looked at him with undisguised contempt. He said: ¡°Who the hell are you? Get lost! And never get near to Jenny ever again! You little piece of shit!¡± He then looked at Jenny and said: ¡°Jenny, I heard you are here seeking the cooperation of Huading Group. How did it go? Are they willing to cooperate with yourpany?¡± He put his hands in his trouser pockets. ¡°Gary, it¡¯s none of your business.¡± Jenny seemed displeased. ¡°You are my future wife! Of course I need to care about that.¡± Gary wore ascivious smile. ¡°Gary! You must mind yournguage!¡± Jenny¡¯s father said. ¡°Uncle Huang, don¡¯t be so mad. I am here to help!¡± Gary said. ¡°Let me guess, Huading Group declined your request because yourpany is too small. You know what will happen next? Yourpany will go bankrupt. But if you ask Jenny to be my girlfriend, I¡¯ll ask my father to help you.¡± Before Jenny¡¯s father could say anything, Josh interrupted and said: ¡°You can help her? You are very confident with yourself, aren¡¯t you? I have never met anyone who is as arrogant as you.¡± Gary¡¯ s face darkened and he looked at Josh. ¡°Seriously. Who the fuck are you? Do you know who I am?¡± ¡°Josh, don¡¯t mess with him.¡± Jenny tugged at his sleeve. She didn¡¯t know Josh very well, but still, she didn¡¯t want him to get into trouble for her. ¡°Why can¡¯t I?¡± Josh put on a mysterious smile. He fears no one in this whole Qingyang City, after all, he is Moses Liu¡¯s grandson, and Moses is the richest man in the Southwest. Jenny¡¯s father patted on Josh¡¯s shoulder and said: ¡°Young man, his father is a shareholder of Huading Group¡¯s Qingyang branch. You¡¯d better leave him alone.¡± ¡°His father is a shareholder?¡± Josh¡¯s brow furrowed. He couldn¡¯t believe hispany¡¯s shareholder¡¯s son is now disying arrogance to him. So he gave a shortugh and said to Gary: ¡°What makes you so proud? Your father is just a shareholder!¡± Gary¡¯ s anger boiled up. He said: ¡°You bastard! How dare you to talk to me like that.¡± When he finished, he clenched his fist as if he was about to punch Josh, but Jenny¡¯s father stopped him and said: ¡°Gary, this drinking party is held by the new Chairman of Huading Group! Think twice!¡± Gary refrained his anger after hearing what he said. He is arrogant but he is not stupid. He knew if he ruined this party and made the Chairman angry, both him and his father would be in great trouble. ¡°Bastard! You will suffer the consequences of your actions when the party is over!¡± Gary said angrily. He then looked at Jenny and said coldly: ¡°I¡¯ll give you some time to think about it. If you be my girlfriend, I¡¯ll help your family. Or your family will be doomed!¡± Gary then turned around and walked away. Josh looked after him as he walked away andughed coldly. ¡°You will also face the consequences of your words.¡± He said. ¡°Josh, what were you doing? His father is a very powerful person. Why do you have to mess with him?¡± Jenny was worried. A shareholder of Huading Group¡¯s Qingyang branch is not a big deal in Josh¡¯s eyes. But in Jenny¡¯s opinion, that is a very important and powerful position. After all, Huading Group represents the biggest and the richest organization in the Southwest, and the power and wealth of a shareholder of this group shall never be underestimated. Jenny¡¯s father said: ¡°Young man, Gary is a base man and he will never let the matter rest easily. So, listen to me. Leave this ce right now, or you will find yourself in lots of trouble after the party.¡± ¡°Yes. Leave here now.¡± Jenny said. She knew Josh just offended Gary because he wanted to help her. So she didn¡¯t want him to be in any trouble. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I am not afraid of him.¡± Josh smiled. ¡°You are overconfident!¡± Jenny¡¯s father shook his head. He is not a snob, but he knew a person¡¯s wealth and power can be roughly reflected from his appearance and his dresses. So, he could tell from Josh¡¯s clothes that Josh is just an average man. ¡°Oh, I almost forgot. Maybe I can help you if you want to cooperate with Huading Group.¡± Josh said. ¡°Young man, there is nothing you can do.¡± Jenny¡¯s father shook his head. ¡°Mr Huang, you will know whether I can help or not soon.¡± Josh smiled. At that time, Bob, the general manager, walked onto the stage and announced: ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, it¡¯s time to start our drinking party. Please be seated.¡± Everyone went to his or her seat after hearing what Bob said. ¡°I have told you everything you need to know. You are a smart person and I think you know what is the wise thing to do.¡± Jenny¡¯s father said to Josh. He then took Jenny to their seats. ¡°Why don¡¯t you just tell them that you are the new Chairman of Huading Group?¡± Fatty asked curiously. ¡°They wouldn¡¯t believe me even if I told them. They will know the answer in a minute.¡± Josh said smilingly. ....... The seats were actually arranged ording to a certain order. The seats near to the stage were saved for these important people, and the seats at the back were saved for these people with less power and wealth. Gary and his father were seated in the second row, and Jenny and her father were seated in the back row together with some other small bosses. Jenny looked around and couldn¡¯t find Josh anywhere. She sighed with relief and said: ¡°I think he has left. I¡¯ll be so sorry if he got into trouble because of me.¡± Her father said: ¡°He made a wise decision.¡± He thanughed mirthlessly and said: ¡°We are in so much trouble ourselves and we are still concerned for him.¡± At that time, Bob said through a microphone: ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, I think you can not wait to meet our new Chairman.¡± People nodded in unison. Ny-nine percent of these people present had never met the new Chairman, and meeting him was actually one of their primary purposes to attend this party. ¡°Then I won¡¯t keep this secret any longer. Ladies and gentle, please wee the Chairman of Huading Group!¡± People broke into rapturous apuse. ¡°We are finally going to see him.¡± ¡°I heard he is a very young man. I¡¯m so curious.¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. People chatted nonstop. Gary stared at the stage and apuded. His father said to him: ¡°Gary, the Chairman will first give a speech, and after the speech, he will go to each table and raise a toast. When he is at our table, I want you to take a good attitude! Remember! Leave him with a good impression.¡± His father knew how arrogant and rude his son can sometimes be. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, dad. I know what to do. He is the Chairman. Why would I offend him?¡± Gary smiled. Julia and her father were sitting in the third row. They stared at the stage attentively. ¡°I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. I can finally see him!¡± Julia said expectantly. Jenny and her father also fixed their attention on the stage. At that time, a man walked onto the stage at a steady pace, to great apuse. It was none other than Josh. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
