Charlie’s words instantly brought Shawn back to his senses. He was overjoyed, and he was so excited that his body began trembling slightly. After that, he blurted out excitedly, “Mr. Wade, look at what you’re saying! We already agreed that you would be staying at my house earlier, right? It would not be a problem for you to stay forever if you’re willing!”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Long.”After saying that, he turned around and looked at Marianne, who was still shocked and stunned, and he said, “Miss Marianne, is it okay for me to follow your car?”Marianne was still unable to digest what had just happened, so she seemed to be in a daze.When Shawn saw that Marianne did not respond, he hurriedly said, “Marianne, Mr. Wade is talking to you! Why are you not answering?”Marianne came back to her senses and stroked the hair between her temples as she said to Charlie, “Sure...”Charlie nodded and then turned to Porter as he said, “Porter, I’ll go first. I’ll
‘It’s just like how the Laine family was the absolute richest family in Hong Kong back then, but there were still people who dared to kidnap their eldest son even when they were so powerful!’‘It’s the same for me!’‘Although I’m almost about to become the richest man in Hong Kong now, I still do not have absolute influence before people like Solomon.’‘If Solomon wants to fight with me, I would still be afraid, and I can only find someone to make peace with him or end up spending money to settle things.’‘It’s just like how I could only clench my teeth and promise to give Solomon five million US dollars so that I could take my daughter away when I first came here today...’‘But... even though it was obviously his god-grandson who had provoked my daughter first, I ended up having to pay him five million US dollars as compensation instead! This is the biggest drawback of having only money but no authority!’‘It would be completely different if I could have someone like Charlie to
“Me?”Charlie smiled faintly and said indifferently as he drove, “I already told you that my name is Charlie Wade, I am twenty-eight years old, and I’m from Oskia.”Marianne continued questioning, “Aren’t you an assistant for Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group? Why is the whole of Ten Thousand Armies yours if you are just an assistant of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group?”Charlie looked straight ahead, and as he steered the vehicle to the left, he casually said, “I was not the one who created Ten Thousand Armies, nor did I pay for its acquisition. However, I was kind to Porter, who is the lord of Ten Thousand Armies. So, he voluntarily made Ten Thousand Armies pledge its allegiance to me.”Having said that, Charlie paused and said again, “As for my role as an assistant in Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group, I am just making a friendly appearance here. Your family is also in the ocean shipping business, so you should have heard from your father that Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group has a cl
At this time, Marianne looked at Charlie and asked, “Why do you have to be in contact with my father when you are here to administer justice? Your so-called discussion to talk about the collaboration should also be fake, right?”Charlie shrugged. “The discussion about the collaboration is not necessarily fake. With Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group’s rapid expansion and strength, there is indeed a great need for us to enhance its capacity. Although the ocean shipping company in your father’s hands has a certain capacity, it cannot convert 100% of its capacity into revenue. So, it could be considered a complementary advantage if the two sides collaborate on this basis. In fact, this is a win-win situation.”Marianne hesitated for a moment and then asked Charlie, “Then, is the justice that you are going to administer related to my father?”Charlie did not want to deceive Marianne, so he simply shook his head and said, “I have no comment on this for the time being.”Marianne seemed to h
When Marianne heard Charlie’s words, she felt even more emotional and reluctant.She pretended to be relaxed and smiled as she said, “Okay! I will take you there tomorrow night, then.”After saying that, she suddenly found that she had already run out of topics to talk about with Charlie.She did not dare to ask him about the previous topic, but she also did not know what else she could talk about with Charlie now.In truth, she had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask Charlie. For example, she wanted to ask him which part of Oskia he was from, whether he was already married at the age of twenty-eight years old, or whether he had a girlfriend. Or perhaps she could ask him if he would like to stay longer in Hong Kong because Marianne had a lot of places that she had never shared with others before, and she wanted to take Charlie there along with her for a walk or to take a look at the place and experience it with her. However, she did not dare to ask him any of these questi
Charlie asked curiously, “How long has it been since the food street was bought over?”Marianne thought for a while and said, “It must be for more than ten years now. My father bought it for me the year he got married.”Charlie asked her, “Do you know how much it cost when he bought it?”“I forgot...” Marianne said embarrassedly, “I’m actually not that sensitive in this aspect. I was still young at that time and simply thought that I wanted to keep the food street intact. So, I asked my father to buy it for me. I really do not know how much it cost.”Charlie asked again, “How do you know that there is still a deficit of two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars every month, then?”“The manager was the one who told me.” Marianne said, “My father put someone else in charge of the operation of this food street before I became an adult. It was given to me to manage after I became an adult, but I do not know how to manage it. I only thought that I should not increase the rental to ensure
“Go to Oskia?”Charlie looked at Marianne in surprise and asked, “Haven’t you always been reluctant to leave Hong Kong?”Marianne said a little unnaturally, “That was before... I was still studying before this, so I did not want to leave Hong Kong. However, if I were to consider employment, there will definitely be even more room for development after I leave Hong Kong.”Charlie nodded faintly and said seriously, “Miss Marianne, if you’re really interested in going over to Oskia, you can go to Oskia to take a look after your graduation. You should walk around first and then choose a city that you like so that you can try to develop there. After all, you are highly educated and come from a good family background, so it should be very easy no matter where you choose to settle down.”Marianne hummed lightly in response. She wanted to ask Charlie which city he was from, but she could not bring herself to say those words when they reached the tip of her tongue. Meanwhile, the rain in
Unexpectedly, Solomon only wanted to avoid him.Rudy was helpless, and he could only sigh deeply as he felt extremely regretful in his heart.At this time, Solomon, who was aside, seemed to be very disgusted with him and he blurted out, “There is nothing else for you to do here. Why don’t you get lost? Must you continue standing here to be an eyesore for me?!”Rudy sighed before looking at Hunter and asking respectfully, “Excuse me, can I leave now?”Hunter threw Dillion, who was on his shoulders, in front of him and said coldly, “Take your son away.”Rudy glanced at Dillion in disgust, and he felt extreme anger. This prodigal son had cost him to lose ten billion US dollars in one afternoon. Rudy was already considered very benevolent for not killing Dillion on the spot, let alone taking him home.Rudy also planned to break off his father-son relationship with his son. He too did not want to see this loser son of his just like how Solomon did not want to see him anymore.So, h
