With no elevator in the building, the two walked up the stairs. Lisbeth shared stories about her teacher, like businessmen from the capital coming to seek his advice on enterprise development, and his academic articles being published in various magazines.They stopped on the sixth floor. Lisbeth knocked on an old blue security door."Coming, who is it?" A young male voice came from inside."Senior, it’s me," Lisbeth replied, her eyes shyly avoiding Ricard's, feeling like she was introducing her partner to her family.Ricard clearly heard the footsteps speed up after Lisbeth spoke. When the door opened, a handsome young man appeared, his eyes filled with excitement and affection for Lisbeth. But upon seeing Ricard, the joy vanished, replaced by a hostile look."Xiaoyin, this is...?" The young man asked Lisbeth, his eyes full of animosity toward Ricard."This is my friend, Ricard," Lisbeth introduced, her face slightly blushing. "Ricard, this is my senior and the teacher's son, Amile."

"Donated everything..." Lisbeth was speechless. Until now, she believed she was very dedicated to charity work, but she realized that compared to Ricard, her efforts were just a drop in the ocean."Lisbeth, I didn't expect you to know Ricard. If I'm not mistaken, you two met at the orphanage, right?" The middle-aged man smiled at Lisbeth."Yes," Lisbeth placed her hands in front of her and nodded."Alright, let's not just stand here. I bought a lot of ingredients today; let's make dumplings. Ricard, I've retired from finance now and am much older than you. Lisbeth is like a daughter to me, so we're family now. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Kong."The middle-aged man lifted the groceries in his hand and smiled."Sure, Uncle Kong," Ricard smiled slightly. "I can roll the dough quickly, so everyone can start wrapping the dumplings.""Great!" The middle-aged man replied heartily. "Lisbeth, come and help.""Yes," Lisbeth blushed and followed her teacher into the kitchen. Once in

"Chairman Leo, we’ll talk later," Jeannie quickly said to Leo before approaching Ricard, whispering, "Why are you here?""I called him," Milan said, looking at Jeannie with a reproachful gaze. "Jeannie, you know Leo loves Soggetto paintings, and your husband is especially knowledgeable about them. Why not leverage his expertise?"Jeannie hesitated, glancing between Ricard and Milan, unsure how to explain without revealing too much to Milan."Alright, I think Ricard should first negotiate with Leo. If he can engage Leo, then you can use both emotion and reason to persuade him," Milan suggested.Jeannie instinctively looked at Ricard, who was already walking towards Leo. She sighed. She knew very well that Ricard's expertise in paintings was questionable. What good could he do?Ricard approached Leo, squinting at the painting before him. "Smith's 'Sunrise' from the Tang Dynasty? The ink seems a bit faded.""Do you understand paintings?" Leo asked, somewhat surprised, as he glanced at Ri

But his current action seemed too lowly. Jeannie lowered her head, shaking it helplessly. Just as she was feeling disappointed, she heard Milan's surprised shout."Jeannie, look quickly! What is Ricard doing?" Jeannie looked up and saw Ricard walking onto the stage, holding the "Sunrise" painting he had just purchased for five million.Then, Ricard did something that shocked everyone.He grabbed the five-million-dollar painting with both hands and tore it apart! "Rip!" Though the sound wasn't loud, it echoed in everyone's minds. The Soggetto painting, just bought for five million, was torn to pieces."Oh my God!" "What's wrong with him?" "Is he out of his mind?" "Showing off wealth doesn't need to be this extravagant!" The audience erupted in exclamations and murmurs of shock.Ricard's expression remained unchanged amid the uproar. He looked at Leo sitting in the front row and raised his voice, "Mr. Leo, I saw your conflicted expression earlier, full of interest in this painting, but

The leader, known as 'Thunder Lord,' was renowned for his swift actions.The second-in-command, Etham, also known as the 'Twin Roses,' was responsible for a third of Aishah Society's power, thanks to his formidable fists.The third leader, 'Poison Snake,' was the most insidious. His treacherous nature made people shiver whenever his name was mentioned in the underworld.At this moment, 'Thunder Lord' sat silently, smoking with a frown. The ashtray before him was filled with cigarette butts."Boss, what's there to worry about? If that brat dares to come back, I'll cripple him!" Etham flexed his muscular arm, pounding his chest."Big Brother, it's not as simple as you think." Maxi leaned back on the sofa, twisting his hair: "Both Big Brother and I have received news that for the past two days, those investigating our Aishah Society are not simple people. Among them is even the shadow of Ledo.""Ledo?" Etham's expression changed: "Are you talking about the boss of the entire underground

The officer, who had just finished taking statements, saw Ricard and immediately gave him a thumbs-up, remembering how Ricard had once stormed into the investigation team's office, witnessing his prowess firsthand."Follow me!" Liam glared at Ricard and led the way to the investigation team's office. Ricard shrugged and followed, shaking his head.Ricard entered the investigation team's office, and Liam slammed the door shut behind them.The officers outside the office smirked at the sound of the door slamming."Officer, why did you call me here?" Ricard casually sat on the sofa, crossing his legs."Ricard, stop playing games with me!" Liam slammed her hand on the coffee table in front of Ricard, shouting angrily: "Tell me, did you bring Ledo's people?""Ledo who?" Ricard feigned ignorance."Don't play dumb with me! I've investigated you. You're married into the Demneri family. With their status, inviting Ledo isn't an issue, right? You really won't give up your schemes. Society's sec

"Jeannie," Leona stated confidently, without even glancing at the girl next to him.Upon hearing Jeannie's name, the girl’s face fell. Although she came from a good family and had top-notch looks, she knew she couldn't compare to Jeannie. Jeannie was the granddaughter of Logan, and her beauty was unparalleled.Leona stood still, hands clasped behind his back, staring into the distance. A bright red Benz GT drove closer, gradually coming into view. Leona, usually composed, smiled as the car stopped and someone stepped out. The woman, lightly adorned and stunningly beautiful, blended seamlessly with the scenery. Her long black hair was tied back with a silver-white jade hairpin, adding a star-like touch to her elegant image.Leona was mesmerized. Just as he was about to greet her, he noticed she was accompanied by an unfamiliar man. The man exited the car with her, and she held onto his arm.Leona's expression changed dramatically. After a few seconds, he regained his composure and walk

For the Taylor descendants, it was the best opportunity and the only one. Being chosen by Alex symbolized their future prospects.Alex's method of selection was interesting. He would only look at the gifts presented. He had once said that some items in the world were not inherently valuable but became treasures because they were liked by powerful people. He stated that at his birthday banquet, anyone could present the most valuable gift, and whoever's gift he chose would have proven their social skills and connections.This rule had been in place for many years. Every time, Alex would only look at the precious birthday gifts without accepting them. His words were, "If you can present it, you've already proven your social skills and connections."Today's birthday banquet, held once every five years, had all the Taylor descendants eagerly preparing.Ricard calmly sat beside Jeannie, ignoring the hostile stares from Jeannie's eldest and second aunts. He picked up chopsticks and served a

The sudden incident left Jeannie terrified. Even after the bicycle was hit, she hadn’t recovered.Ricard comforted Jeannie and then angrily walked to the driver's seat of the BMW, shouting, "What kind of driving is this? Didn’t you see the red light?""What's the rush? What's the rush?" The car door opened, and the young man stepped out slowly, "I didn't hit anyone. Just compensate you, right? How much do you want? Three thousand yuan enough?"The young man pulled out three thousand yuan from his pocket and threw it on the car's hood. Before Ricard could respond, he added another three thousand: "If it's not enough, here’s six thousand, okay?"Ricard took a deep breath, "This is not about money. I need your attitude, apologize to us!""Apologize? You must be joking. I didn't hit you. You just want money, right? Fine, here's ten thousand yuan. Is that enough?" The young man threw another stack of money on the hood.He then glanced at Jeannie, trying to gauge her reaction, but she didn'

The staff's words made Jeannie unconsciously look at Ricard.Although they had registered their marriage more than a month ago and even took wedding photos, their relationship had always been lukewarm. Now, suddenly being called Ricard's girlfriend, Jeannie's heart skipped a beat, and even the tension of the impending bungee jump was pushed aside."Hey, man, come here. What are you hiding from? Your girlfriend dares to jump, and you're hiding behind her. Come and hold her tightly." The staff urged, waving at Ricard.Of course, Ricard didn't refuse the staff's suggestion to jump while holding Jeannie, cheerfully running over.Jeannie looked at Ricard in front of her, seeming a bit hesitant: "Didn't we buy two separate tickets? Can't we jump one at a time?""That's right, a couple's ticket. Come here and stand firm, put on the equipment, and don't mess around." The staff said while fitting the equipment on Jeannie and Ricard. The eighty-meter-high jump platform had a hot wind blowing in

“Sure.” Ricard didn't hesitate to hand the Coca-Cola to Jeannie.Jeannie looked at the dark carbonated drink in her hand. There were many things she always wanted to try: singing wildly, acting cute like other girls, playing with social media apps, buying her favorite snacks. But due to her family's strict upbringing, she never did anything too extreme. She never went to karaoke to sing loudly, never bought a pile of snacks, never bought a bunch of cold drinks in the summer. She always maintained a calm and mature demeanor, drinking a hot cup of tea at the company every day. Sometimes she would see others with a cold drink and feel a desire to take a sip, but she feared that doing so would shatter the dignified image she had built in front of her employees. Although she appeared to have many things, she had never experienced things that were easily within reach for ordinary people.Like Coca-Cola. When she was young, her family didn't let her touch these carbonated drinks. As she grew

For Ricard, physical endurance wasn’t an issue. Cycling seventy kilometers, even carrying Jeannie, was no problem for him. Along the way, they chatted and laughed, making the time fly by.Two hours passed unnoticed. The midday sun blazed overhead, heating the road. Ricard cycled along the highway, enjoying occasional shade from roadside trees."President Demneri, are you thirsty? I’ll buy us some drinks." Ricard stopped at a roadside stall, buying two cold Coca-Colas."Why Coca-Cola?" Jeannie asked, puzzled.“For the refreshing taste.” Ricard took a gulp, letting out a satisfied “Ah.”“I’ll have water instead.” Jeannie placed the Coke on the counter, opting for a bottle of mineral water.Ricard gallantly opened the bottle for her, and Jeannie took small sips.Ricard could tell Jeannie was very thirsty, but she still drank slowly, a habit from childhood.“Alright, let’s go. Only twenty kilometers left. If I speed up, we can reach Haihu soon and enjoy the afternoon there.”Ricard resume

Ricard heard the cheers and smiled, looking at the woman standing at the microphone with pride. This was his wife, capable and talented! With a few short sentences, she had inspired everyone’s enthusiasm. The employees' attitude towards work could indeed shape the future development of the company.Irena, who had just been fired, had packed her belongings and quietly left through the side entrance of the company. Seeing Maria with a large rose pinned to her chest, standing at the front of the company and receiving praise, made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She had heard everything Jeannie said over the microphone. Five hundred thousand, even split between two, was still two hundred and fifty thousand each! Why should Maria get that money?Irena glared at the company's main entrance with resentment. If it weren’t for Maria and that damned new hire, today’s events wouldn't have involved her!Irena took a deep breath, trying to console herself. Even if Maria got two hundred and fifty

Jeannie chuckled lightly. "In the end, you're still trying to comfort me, but in your own unique way.""Am I? Ha ha." Ricard laughed heartily, ruffling his hair. "Sit down." Jeannie gestured to Ricard.Ricard did not stand on ceremony, sprawling comfortably on the sofa.Jeannie poured him a cup of tea, an unprecedented gesture from her. This act made Ricard feel both pampered and uneasy. "No, no!" Ricard quickly stopped her."What's the matter? Are you mocking me?" Jeannie shot Ricard a sharp look. "A man who can easily get the head of the largest corporation in France to come to Supperazza to sign a contract can’t accept a cup of tea from me?"Ricard gave a wry smile. Initially, he hadn't planned to let Jeannie know about Eugene, but with today's events, including Prince Charles’s presence, there was no way to keep it hidden.After pouring the tea, Jeannie sat down opposite Ricard, lightly rubbing her forehead. "As usual, explain.""Ah… I saved Eugene’s life once, and since then he’s
Spin-off 4: Ricard (117)
When Eugene heard that Jeannie was Ricard's wife, his expression immediately turned respectful. "Lovely lady, forgive me for saying, but you truly are the most beautiful angel I've ever met.""Uncle Eugene is the manager of the Zefiro Group, the largest financial group in France," Prince Charles reintroduced Eugene to Jeannie.Although Prince Charles didn't use flowery language or mention astronomical wealth, saying it was the largest in France was enough for Jeannie to understand the significance of the old man standing before her. A man like this could hardly be someone Ricard found to collude in defrauding the company.Outside the reception room, Naccy and her group waited for the outcome.Jeannie quickly exited the reception room, and they all looked at her, awaiting a response.Jeannie scanned the group and spoke, "Director Naccy, this has been a misunderstanding. Mr. Eugene is indeed the partner Ricard found.""How can that be?" Naccy's first reaction was disbelief. How could so

"Mr. Eugene, please wait. I'll go get Ricard.""No need," Eugene called Maria back. "Ricard entrusted this deal to me. If you don't sign it, I'll refuse to cooperate.""What?""Girl, how your company distributes the bonus between you and Ricard is none of my business. You can discuss it with your boss later. For now, go get the contract."The sudden success of the deal and the enormous bonus were overwhelming for Maria. It took her a while to process it.As Maria left the reception room to get the contract, her face still showed signs of disbelief.Everyone in the business department saw Maria's expression. When she left the reception room, they all started talking."What's wrong? Couldn't close the deal?""She looks like she failed.""She's a rookie trying to handle a deal herself. What did you expect?"Kristy and others showed disdain. "No," Maria waved her hands. "The deal is done. The client agreed to sign the contract.""Signed?" Kristy's eyes widened in disbelief. She knew the v

"Three... hundred thousand?" Maria's eyes glazed over at the number. Her family was ordinary, and her parents had worked hard their whole lives without saving that much money. Three hundred thousand was enough to buy a house in Supperazza, enough for someone unemployed to live comfortably for years, or to buy a BMW. For Maria, three hundred thousand was an unimaginable fortune.Hearing Eugene say that this deal alone could yield a bonus of three hundred thousand made Maria feel like she was dreaming. "Girl, so, will you sign the contract, or do I need to call Ricard?"Maria swallowed hard, stammering, "I... I..."Hearing Maria's response, Eugene felt a bit disappointed. He understood that three hundred thousand might not mean much to him, but it could change an ordinary person's life. With three hundred thousand, they could buy a big house, a luxury car."I... I need to call Ricard and ask him to treat me to a good meal. Three hundred thousand is a lot! Mr. Eugene, please wait a momen
