Chapter 7: Give A Gift

"You tell me, they're all Water Ice people. Why is the difference so big?"

"It seems this is Water Ice deliberately, using a torn man as a cushion to highlight Drake Thomas."

"That's right."

Drake Thomas' face was full of joy, and he put the key in the box to hand over to the host.

The host carefully placed this box in the middle, which was Drake Thomas' gift. Although the smallest, the location is the most visible.

Drake Thomas returned to his seat and crossed his legs.

"Mr. James, how's my gift?"

Edric James's face was pale, and his head bowed silently.

"Haha ha ha ha, why didn't you all like fighting with me before? Now let me see how you still fight with me. Edric James, I tell you that I will be promoted to Vice-Chief this time, which you will soon be leaving. You must be the same person as Ha's dead son-in-law.."

Faced with Drake Thomas's teasing, Edric James failed to refute half of the sentence.

He lost to all the attendants.

Serena James was so angry that her whole body trembled. Seeing her father despised her so much but could not do anything, she wanted to slap Drake Thomas.

Now Richard Nicholas quietly holds her hand.

"Don't be angry."

"You're not angry?" Serena James frowned, "How do you look at that scum who despises my father?"

Richard Nicholas said, "Remember I said I liked to see people play tricks the most?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's straightforward, and Drake Thomas will quickly stop laughing."

Serena James was very suspicious: "People gave the house tens of millions of dollars luxury, and my father gave me a few tens of dollars wine, and somehow Drake Thomas would make the manager happy. My father would most likely get fired."

Richard Nicholas said with a smile, "It's because Drake Thomas brought the luxury home to bring trouble to his body. He's so stupid."

"What is that?"

"Wait and see."

Very quickly, everyone finished the offering.

Most people's offerings are costly, one hundred thousand USD, several hundred thousand USD. Only these offerings and Drake Thomas's luxurious tens of millions of dollars house are incomparably inferior.

The host said: "To welcome the person in charge today has cost everyone the hearts of everyone. I will move in, and please be assured."

Just finished, Richard Nicholas' cell phone rang. He cut it off himself, then texted a message through. A few minutes later, Vincent Scott left again.

The host was a little startled: "Sir Scott, do you have something else to say?"

Vincent Scott laughed, haha: "I heard that people welcomed the general manager and brought many cable gifts, so I came to see a little bit."

The host laughed: "Everyone's heart is here. Please take a look."

In front of everyone's eyes, Vincent Scott walked towards the offerings.

Vincent Scott looked at it with great discretion, and each present swept his eyes once, finally stopping at six bottles of GRACIANO wine that fell in one corner of the stage.

He went to stoop to pick it up.

"Is this your gift, too?"

The host laughed coldly, "No wrong, this is a gift from Edric James at Water Ice."

Everyone glared with laughter at Edric James. Edric James shyly bowed his head, no longer looking at others.

Suddenly Vincent Scott opened the latch, took the bottle, and drank it with his head down.

Drink a few sips.

"Yes, that's the taste. That's refreshing!"

Vincent Scott's actions and words make people confused that a few dollars' worths of wine in a bottle taste so good.

He stood up, held up the other six bottles of wine high, and shouted: "All the offerings I've seen, the general manager will like these six bottles of GRACIANO!"

The whole hall was impressive.

Everyone stopped talking.

Even Edric James stood still, wondering if his ears were sick, so he misheard it.

It's been a while since everyone responded, and everyone exclaimed.

The host was also astonished to say, "Sir Scott, are you kidding us? This GRACliano wine is worth only a few dollars a bottle. How is it better to rely on other offerings?"

Vincent Scott looks at the wine in his hand like he's looking at his lover.

"You don't understand. We're soldiers in Rocky, and we're soldiers who don't sleep well. Let's not say that we get a good drink. This is the most popular wine in Rocky, the wine that every soldier in Rocky likes! We drink and kill each other., We drink this wine to protect our country! This is not only wine but also our brother, our love!"

These words made the whole hall burst into applause, causing the soldiers to pay their most sincere respects.

Vincent Scott once again raised the GRACIANO: "So the general manager likes the GRACIANO most of all!"

The host's expression is brutal, and he was mocking Edric James earlier and throwing his offerings on the ground.

He raised his face again and said, "Yes, such precious wine is the best offering. Let us give Comrade Edric James a warm round of applause!"

People clapped their hands, especially those who had just mocked Edric James. Each clapping was thunderous, just afraid of Edric James's persistent hostility.

"A gift that sympathizes with soldiers, not with ordinary money, is heartfelt."

"Edric James, what a good comrade of Water Ice."

Edric James experienced two tears of joy and sorrow in just a few short minutes.

He stood up and bowed to everyone. His mouth couldn't close. He was pretty pleased, and the unhappy look was swept away.

Among the people.

Richard Nicholas looked at Serena James, still terrified, smiling, and said, "Why did the object I nominated as my favorite general manager?"

Serena James exclaimed, "It's just a coincidence."

"Haha." Richard Nicholas grinned softly, shaking his head, saying: "Look, wait a minute, that scum Drake Thomas will pay dearly."

Serena James was half-belief, though she felt Richard Nicholas' words were unbelievable but found that he was both right twice before, so she thought or expected it once.

Can only see Vincent Scott raising the handle to the Drake Thomas key.

Drake Thomas' face showed excitement.

He was happy in his heart: Haha, what's the point of liking GRACIANO, at least just posing a little bit, turning around. Didn't he even choose his fancy villa? He didn't lose.

Vincent Scott looked at Drake Thomas: "Mr. Thomas, is this key you gave me?"

"yes, it's me."

"Well, if I remember correctly, houses in the Scottsdale district weren't cheap. The villas over there, on average, were twenty million dollars or more per house."

Drake Thomas happily said, "It's a little expensive, but only this expensive house can be worthy of the general manager's status!"

Vincent Scott's eyes flashed cold, deliberately asking: "Are you buying this house?"

"Of course."

"Well, then, Mr. Thomas, you're the head of the market department at Water Ice. How much is your monthly salary?"

The smile on Drake Thomas' face slowly disappeared, feeling the atmosphere was slightly off.

"The salary... is about four thousand dollars a month."

"Yeah, four thousand dollars, so there's a commission, year-end bonuses, and welfare benefits, and you charge about fifty thousand dollars a year?"

The more Drake Thomas heard, the more it felt wrong: "Yes, not wrong."

Vincent Scott shook his head softly: "This is strange. How do you buy a luxury villa worth $20 million yearly for $50,000? Drake Thomas, can you give me a reasonable explanation?"

Everyone here is terrified, and this problem is severe.

Everyone knows there must be a problem here. Even though everyone feels pain, they don't think they'll be reprimanded.

But this new general manager doesn't think so.

All the people who just gave gifts were in a cold sweat, the number of people who gave gifts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars secretly rejoiced, the number of skills worth hundreds of thousands of dollars reaching millions of dollars, the palm was all cold sweat.

Of course, the coldest is still Drake Thomas.

A few hundred thousand dollars to millions, he can still use the excuse of accumulating over the years, but this figure of twenty million dollars, how many years do he have to get for him?

Based on Drake Thomas' income, that'll take 400 years to accumulate!

Drake Thomas's revenue has a problem.

Drake Thomas's hands and feet are ice cold, constantly swallowing his saliva. Even one word can't speak.

Vincent Scott shouted: "Drake Thomas, where did you say $20 million buy this house?"

After an hour's delay, Drake Thomas was threatened to fall on the ground.

Where can he answer that?

"I see you can't answer," Vincent Scott said coldly, "so go slowly into the station and tell him where he is, handcuff him, take him."

Immediately, some officers in police uniforms sprang out, broke Drake Thomas' hands behind his back, and handcuffed them, took them right in front of everyone.

"No, sir Scott, what's the matter? What's going on?"

"Let go of me, and you let go of me."

Drake Thomas's eyes panicked, and they dreamt that giving gifts would lead to big trouble.
