“Day after tomorrow, I plan to attend my school’s charity party, then we can leave for San Francisco.” Jonathan said calmly as he lit a cigarette.“Everyone will follow your arrangements.” Roger naturally had no objections.Jonathan continued: “Right, use the name of Rise & Shine real estate to donate ten million dollars to Slab’s S-II school. Also, put my name in, and I want to be a representative!”He had agreed with Kieran to attend the party, so he couldn’t let his teacher lose face.“This is simple. I will do it right away.” Roger replied hesitantly.“Okay.”Jonathan didn’t pay much attention, and he knew that his assigned tasks were small and Roger would handle them satisfactorily. What he was apprehensive about was something else.Suddenly, Jonathan looked up and asked with a smile: “Roger, how do you think I should handle the matter at my house?”Roger didn’t expect his employer to ask him that question. But since Jonathan asked, he must answer.This time, when he came to Slab
S-II school is currently on holiday.But today, the school gate is wide open.A long banner is in front of the gate: ‘S-II Slab School Fundraising Party.’“What kind of fundraising party is this school having? Are they so full from eating that they have nothing to do?”“Well, you know, this place is also contributing, that place is also contributing, so now which school doesn’t feel ashamed?”“I heard that the buildings and facilities of S-II school need to be renovated, and the management is planning to use funds from external donations for the construction, as the current construction quality is not good enough.”“If that’s the case, it’s a good thing. I think the teachers at S-II school are the most highly qualified, but the facilities are still not as good as those in elementary schools! They should have been renovated long ago.”Passersby were discussing and sharing their opinions.At this moment, in the principal’s office.The 40-year-old principal, Mr. Joe, warmly welcomed a yo
Below the stage, there were many former students attending tonight’s dinner party. When they heard the name Jonathan, many were surprised.“Isn’t him?” Jessica was also sitting below, and with so many people tonight, she searched everywhere but couldn’t find Jonathan, so she thought he didn’t show up.Unexpectedly, when it was about to end, they heard his name again. The CEO of the real estate company Rise & Shine? Wow! Or is it a coincidence with the same name?“Jessica, what are you surprised about? Don’t tell me you think it’s the Jonathan from our class." a girl sitting next to Jessica teased.In the past, this girl, Jessica, and Jonathan all studied in the same class, but she didn’t think it was Jonathan from their course. Probably just a coincidence with the same name.A criminal rapist and a CEO of a company worth tens of billions of USD like Rise & Shine, could they be the same person? Of course not!But Jessica seemed determined and said: "It’s him, for sure.”It’s not that s
Darius never expected the CEO of a large real estate company in the city to be so dismissive of their radio station. He spoke fiercely: "Chairman Roger, be careful with your words! If you dare to offend our radio station, I guarantee that within a month, no, within two weeks, we can ruin the reputation of Rise & Shine real estate, leaving you with nothing but bankruptcy!"Darius couldn't keep his composure while spouting these words.The radio station could tarnish the reputation of Rise & Shine real estate. Still, a company with tens of billions in market value could stay strong. Therefore, bankruptcy is impossible.Roger intentionally asked: "So, what do you think I should do to make you happy?"Darius thought Roger was afraid and replied: "Firstly, give me five million USD in compensation. Secondly, I want Jonathan to leave Rise & Shine real estate and not have any relationship with it anymore. I know he has shares, but those shares cannot be brought along. As for how Chairman Roge
Half an hour later, Jonathan arrived at a barbecue restaurant that looked very nice. Spinel hurriedly stood up to greet him, stepping faster than Bellamy and pulling out a chair for Jonathan.Bellamy saying: "Originally, I wanted to invite you to have a hotpot. The hotpot at Slab is no worse than anywhere else. But we went to several places to check, and their food was not fresh, so we chose this restaurant. Don't dislike it!""Sit down. You and my husband are friends, don't hesitate!" Spinel said.Looking at his wife's considerate attitude, Bellamy's face showed a helpless expression. To be honest, he couldn't bear flattery."You sit down too." Jonathan smiled lightly and sat down.Honestly, Bellamy's wife's fawning attitude made him uncomfortable. Of course, he saw through the reason for her flattery."So, Jonathan, order something!" At this point, Spinel handed the menu to Jonathan in a highly cheerful manner."Just let Bellamy order. Anything is fine for me." Jonathan tactfully de
Jonathan helped Jessica walk along the sidewalk, preparing to hail a taxi, when Jessica suddenly said gently: "Let's walk.""Are you sure you're okay?" Jonathan crouched down to look at Jessica."I'm fine, and I can still walk! If we don't take advantage of the chance to walk around tonight, we might not have another opportunity in the future, right... Mr. Wang?" Jessica slurred her words."Alright."Jonathan didn't refuse, and the two walked side by side on the street, but the distance between them was less than a meter because Jonathan was afraid Jessica would stumble and he wouldn't catch her in time.It was already past half midnight.The street was deserted, with no one in sight.The night wind blowing was chilly."What day is it today?""January 10th, still twenty days until the new year.""Time flies."Jessica suddenly exclaimed and looked at Jonathan with clear eyes like a stream, then smiled: "I feel fortunate to have met you again this year, and you're an extraordinary versi
"Why the rush? The two of you should hurry up and get married, then have a cute grandchild for your mother to hold. That would be a good thing! You two are not young anymore, so don't delay any further. Am I right?"Sigrid continued to push, realizing that Derek was having second thoughts and might back out of the engagement.So, she turned to Phoebe, who was in the kitchen, looking confused. Now that Jonathan had gained fame, the family's affairs had become a certainty.To be honest, Sigrid had started to scrutinize Tryphena, her potential daughter-in-law. But Sigrid had hit the nail on the head with Phoebe - she really did want to hold a grandchild.If Derek and Tryphena's engagement did not work out, who knows when her son would find another partner? Would Sigrid have to wait even longer to hold her grandchild?"This matter is for Derek to decide, and I don't want to interfere," Phoebe said, not knowing what to do and pushing it all onto Derek.Sigrid then asked Jonathan, "Jonathan
"Please don't be stingy! What can five million USD do? You gave Milcah a necklace worth over thirty million USD, so acting like this shows neither favor nor disrespect." Derek expressed his extreme dissatisfaction.Jonathan responded coldly: "You need to have some courage and vision. Five million USD is enough to change your life, so why are you underestimating it? Milcah received that necklace because she truly sees me as her brother. Derek, have you ever behave me as your brother?"Jonathan already believed that giving Derek five million USD was overly generous, and he wouldn't have given him even a penny based on their behaviors and personalities.Talking about it only added to his frustration.Jonathan knew that giving Derek money could cause family drama and conflicts, as human greed has no limits.But he didn't fear Derek and Phoebe turning their backs on him."Jonathan, that's too much. Have you ever seen Derek not consider you as his brother? When you came back today, who ran
