Chapter 11: Well, Ms. Zhao, ask your husband to pay the usury money back as soon as possible."Wait a minute. I'll answer Elon Mu's phone and tell him I'm not going," said Jennifer Zhao.Hearing this, Alfred Lucas felt a little relieved.Jennifer Zhao answered Elon Mu's phone."Jennifer , when will you arrive? I know you are in a hurry to use the money. You have already signed a contract with the other party and borrowed it in my identity. The money has been transferred to you. Now you are needed,"Elon Mu said as soon as the phone was connected.Huh?Jennifer Zhao was confused."What? Eight hundred thousand?""Yes, I just transferred eight hundred thousand," said Elon Mu.Just now, Elon Mu had met Jennifer Zhao for less than half a day. He was afraid that Jennifer Zhao would go back on her word, so he had handled the matter by himself first. In this way, it was not up to Jennifer Zhao to regret.Jennifer Zhao felt her scalp tingling.Didn't Alfred Lucas get the eight hundred

Chapter 13: Just BusinessThe company had just received funding. As for its future development, nothing was certain yet. Everything had to be handled step by step. Alfred Lucas had no plans to explain anything to Jennifer Zhao right now. Since she clearly doubted him, he chose to remain silent and observe her. He would watch where their relationship was heading before saying more."The company needs someone to oversee operations. You could handle that role. When the time comes, you can lease the second floor to Maria's team under your name. If you like, I can introduce her to you," Alfred said to Mr. Feng.His tone was straight, all business. There was no need to explain personal matters anymore.Nearly all aspects of the company were controlled by Alfred Lucas. Mr. Feng’s group was mainly brought in to support when necessary, such as handling interviews, logistics, or securing suppliers. As a partner, Mr. Feng only held ten percent of the shares. His role was supportive, and final de

Chapter 15: I Work for Mr. FengThe way Alfred Lucas threw money in the follower’s face made the man furious. Just then, the security guard came out from the building."What’s going on here?"The guard called out as he approached. But as soon as he noticed Jennifer Zhao standing nearby, he softened. He gave a polite smile.In this office building, not many people had close contact with Jennifer Zhao. But those who had seen her knew she was stunning. The security guards who worked here noticed her every time she passed by. She was unforgettable.The follower stepped up quickly and pointed in Alfred’s direction."Security, look at this guy. He threw money in my face! We were just trying to speak with the car owner. Sure, maybe the car was parked wrong, but that’s no reason for him to come in swinging money like that. This guy’s out of line!"He tried to sound like the victim, as if Alfred had bullied them.The other men nodded, acting like they were the ones being wronged. They hoped th

Chapter 17: The Anniversary Surprise"Hello, was it successful?""It's done.""Good. Make sure every other things are settled. Don’t let there be any mistakes since this is also a special event.""Absolutely!"Alfred Lucas ended the call."Are you busy?" Jennifer Zhao asked. She was in a good mood, now that Alfred Lucas had started working. Hearing him on the phone made her assume he was handling something work-related."Nothing. Let’s eat first." Alfred Lucas replied, and the two of them sat at their table.After placing their order, they began to wait.Not long after, Jennifer Zhao noticed a girl walking by holding a large bouquet of roses. Nearby, someone played soft violin music at a table not far from theirs.The French atmosphere was romantic and elegant. It was the kind of experience she had only seen in movies and dream of experiencing as a young teenage girl expose to love.Jennifer glanced at Alfred Lucas. Her heart was warm, but deep down, there was a tinge of disappointmen

Chapter 19: The Arrival That Shut Them UpMany customers had tried negotiating special conditions, but they often walked away without buying once they couldn’t get what they wanted.Today, however, a man had shown up in a beat-up old Camelia and said he wanted to buy two cars for eight hundred thousand.Eighty percent chance he was bluffing.The other saleswomen at the dealership watched the situation unfold with amusement. Most were waiting for the moment the so-called customer would embarrass himself. After all, if this man was serious, he would have to place a deposit—possibly even pay in full.It was peak season. Most of the vehicles were already in stock."I’m not joking," Alfred Lucas said calmly."Okay, okay. Please take a look at our financial plans. I’d suggest going with a two-year loan. This structure is more–""All," Alfred interrupted.His answer caused more heads to turn.There were certainly people who could buy two cars in full, but very few spoke so casually about it.
