Eric's parents temporarily returned to Nutikiville. They chose to stay wherever they felt most comfortable living.-With the estate completed, Eric and Sylvia began planning their wedding. Over the years, they had journeyed together through thick and thin, and Eric felt it was time to make up for the wedding Sylvia deserved.Eric specifically invited a priest from the Celestial Sage Sanctum to select an auspicious date for their wedding. Eric had no objections to following traditions.Soon, the date was set.Amelia was quite pleased, saying, "Luckily, Eric hasn’t forgotten about this. Yvette is already running around, so the wedding is long overdue!"As a woman, she understood what a wedding meant to another woman.As for the dowry, the Williams family decided not to ask for it. Over the years, Eric had already brought so much to the Williams family. They didn’t seek a lavish ceremony, but the process was essential.The couple sent out invitations widely, including relatives a

Up to now, Donald had no idea who Ruth really was. However, from their conversation, he deduced that Ruth must be Lionel's daughter. Clearly, she had a prestigious background!Anyone bold enough to hold him accountable must wield considerable authority, and it was far from ordinary.Donald pondered whether he should seek out Lionel. But since he was already there, he decided to exchange a few words. "Mr. McClain, I’m Donald Ford, the mayor of Salt City. It’s an honor to meet you."Lionel glanced at Donald and nodded slightly before addressing Ruth, "Ruth, this is impossible. They are a legitimate married couple with a certificate and have even held a wedding. You want to borrow someone else’s husband to have a son? That’s absurd!"Donald was utterly bewildered. 'Borrow a husband to have a son? What kind of logic is this? Could such a thing even be possible?'Ruth pouted. "There’s no other way. Those young heirs in King City don’t interest me at all. Even if you scrubbed them insid

"Mr. Ford, I really don't have the money!" Eric sighed and said, "I'm quite broke myself. This estate cost a fortune, and I had to take out loans to refurbish it. If you don’t believe me, you can check with the bank. As for the gifts from friends and family, those are just shares that were recently transferred to me. I can’t sell them right now due to regulations."Still, no loan.Donald's face turned grim. "Mr. Johnson, even though I sued you before, I did apologize. These projects are crucial—they directly impact people's convenience, employment, and much more. If these projects fail, the financial waste is one thing. It will also shatter people’s hopes, causing a huge impact! Without new funds, I can’t hold on anymore!"He had been extremely stressed lately. In such a large city, it was incredible how there was no money to be found. Who could he even complain to? He had learned a lesson by now.Even if one disliked these tycoons, they shouldn't easily offend them. The wealthy we

Eric and Sylvia took Yvette on their honeymoon, planning to be away from Salt City for ten days to half a month.Donald was still fretting over financial issues. He had visited both Williams Corp. and Sonnex Corp. several times, but Sylvester and Irvin's responses remained unchanged, even down to the exact wording, as if meticulously planned.Yet, just when it seemed like there was no way out, a new opportunity emerged!Someone came to Salt City to invest, bringing with them staggering funds!This brought Donald immense joy!This substantial investment came from abroad, from the three major international manufacturers, aimed at supporting the development of cutting-edge technology.Such an endeavor was extremely capital-intensive. Frontier Tech had already invested billions but quickly exhausted those funds.Even the Innova Group had to acquire the former Frontier Digital to save a significant amount of money, as this field could be a bottomless pit otherwise.Beyond money, s

Sam lit a cigarette, taking a few drags as he contemplated.In a company, employee turnover was a common occurrence, something Sam had become accustomed to as an employer.However, he was most concerned about the departure of key personnel, especially those directly responsible for specific projects. Such losses could lead to the collapse of an entire project.Marco was a team member on a project. Even if he left, others could step in, and the impact wouldn't be too significant. But shortly after, two more employees approached him, both wanting to resign. Both were technical staff.Sam wasn’t one to tolerate nonsense. "If you want to resign, that’s fine. Just make sure you hand over your work properly. You can leave in a month."Suddenly, he had a bad feeling. *Why are they all resigning today? What is going on?*If an employee wanted to quit, he would approve it, as long as they weren’t project managers. Once a position was vacant, someone else would fill it.The two employee
