Thinking this, Irena felt much better. Just as she was about to leave, Jeannie’s voice echoed again through the microphone, clearly audible to Irena. "One more thing, our partner Mr. Eugene highly values Maria’s excellent qualities. This time, Mr. Eugene has gifted Maria a Maserati Quattroporte worth 1.94 million. Personal qualities matter more than anything. Though Maria is new, I hope everyone can learn from her."Jeannie’s words reverberated in Irena's ears. 1.94 million, a Maserati Quattroporte! Even her wealthy boyfriend couldn’t afford such a luxury car!This deep jealousy festered within Irena, impossible to dispel.After the award ceremony at the company's entrance concluded, every employee was highly motivated. Today's events made them clearly see Demneri Group's policies: as long as they worked hard, getting rich within a month wasn't just a dream!Even long after the ceremony ended, Maria was still in a daze.This morning, she had left home with her heart pounding, fearing

Ricard turned to take the tissue from Jeannie's hand: "Chairman Demneri, you sit down, I can wipe myself. When we go cycling, you should enjoy the royal treatment on the bike."Jeannie covered her mouth and laughed: "You're poor, just stay poor. What kind of royal treatment can a bike offer?""Of course, it can," Ricard said solemnly. "Even riding a bike has its levels. The lowest is taking turns pedaling, then when going uphill, one person pushes while the other pedals. A higher level is when you sit while I push uphill. But our level is the highest, with me pedaling the whole way, the wind blowing gently on your face, even more comfortable than driving a sports car."Ricard's words made Jeannie happy and brought back memories. When she was very young, her mother would ride a bike and take her along. When going uphill, her mother would push while Jeannie sat on the bike. It had been so long ago that Jeannie almost forgot.Ricard pedaled hard, and the bike sped forward.Jeannie took a

Opening the bottle, Jeannie's beautiful face revealed a hint of joy, like a child who had done something wrong. She quickly took a sip of the Coca-Cola, then pressed her lips together, feeling the fizz within the drink."Chairman Demneri, you can't sip Coca-Cola like that. Take a big gulp. If you don't burp, that sip has no meaning at all," Ricard advised."Burp? That's so unbecoming. I would never do that," Jeannie shook her head, rejecting the idea. But despite her words, there was a hint of hesitation in her beautiful eyes."What's so unbecoming about it? Try it once; it's really refreshing.""Try it once?" Jeannie looked at the bottle in her hand, tilted her head back, and took a big gulp. The carbonation in the Coca-Cola traveled down to her stomach, turning into carbon dioxide, which burst out of Jeannie's mouth, causing her to burp involuntarily like Ricard had earlier."A..."As soon as the sound came out, Jeannie's face turned red. She had never done something like this in fr

Before the jump, one might think jumping would feel like a bird flying, floating in the sky.But in reality, you only realize it’s not like that at all when you jump.Jeannie felt nothing beneath her feet, then her mind went blank. She couldn’t think of anything, nor did she want to. It was as if everything was far away from her. At the moment of the jump, all worries and stubbornness seemed insignificant.Jeannie’s arms instinctively wrapped around Ricard’s waist. In a state of complete weightlessness, she could feel the strong hands always supporting her back, giving her a sense of security.Jeannie blinked and opened her eyes. At that moment, she saw Ricard looking at her affectionately, his gaze piercing straight into her heart.The wind roared past their ears, blowing hard against their faces.With the elastic cord bouncing up and down, the two were about to hit the lake's surface but bounced back up again. The lake became farther and farther in Jeannie's view, and her heart leap

Seeing the young man's arrogance, Ricard asked, "Are you very rich?""Are you joking? A guy like you is asking me if I have money?" The young man laughed, "You're asking if I have money? A kid on a bicycle asking if I have money?"Ricard remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "Alright, I gave you a chance. Since you don't want to apologize and want to compensate, then do it.""What? Ten thousand isn’t enough?" The young man sneered.Ricard shook his head and softly said, "Not enough."The traffic accident at the intersection soon attracted many onlookers."Young man, I think your bicycle is worth about two hundred yuan. Just take the fifteen thousand," an old man advised Ricard."That's right. I think this driver isn't bad either. Normally, no one would compensate you fifteen thousand. Just take it.""Take the money and go."The onlookers, seeing the pile of cash on the BMW's hood, were envious, thinking it was like money falling from the sky."Not enough," Ricard shook his h

"What?" The young man stared at the officer. "78 million US dollars? Are you kidding me?""No joke. I am officially informing you that the compensation amount is 78 million US dollars. If you have any objections, you can appeal to the local court. Now, please cooperate by handing over your license and vehicle registration, and come with us," the officer said as he reached into the BMW's cockpit and pulled out the keys."Get lost!" the young man yelled as soon as he saw the officer's action. "Damn cops, are you playing with me? I just hit a bicycle, and you want me to pay millions of dollars?"The officer's face darkened. "Do not cause trouble. The compensation amount is justified. Now, please come with us to the police station for further investigation.""Hello, here is the insurance slip for the bicycle you hit," the damage assessment officer said, holding a phone in front of the young man. "If you don't believe me, you can check online. I just confirmed with the company; the bicycle

"Why take them away? The company doesn't allow eating fruit and drinking Coke? Eat some fruit today, and from tomorrow on, remember to have lunch every day." Ricard placed a strawberry in front of Jeannie, its red, juicy appearance making it look very appetizing."Ricard, don't you understand? I don't want to eat. Take them away," Jeannie restrained herself from looking at the fruit on the table. Strawberries and mangoes, these were things schoolgirls liked to eat. If people saw her eating these at the company, what would they think? That she was unprofessional, childish?"I won't take them away. They'll stay here, and there's more work to do this afternoon, so I'll get back to it," Ricard waved at Jeannie and walked out, closing the door behind him.Standing at the office door, Ricard didn't leave immediately but waited for another five minutes.Five minutes later, Ricard carefully opened a small gap in the door and peeked inside.He saw Jeannie sitting in her spacious president's ch

Ricard made several calls to Liam, all of which went to voicemail. He had no choice but to go to the police station himself. Liam was still in a meeting, so Ricard waited at the door.Inside the police station's meeting room, Flora, the leader of Ron's third squad, had a stern expression: "Everyone must strictly keep today's mission a secret. Not a word should be leaked!"In the Supperazza Police Department meeting room, Flora was explaining the precautions for tonight's operation to her colleague Ivy."Everyone must take this seriously. The enemy this time is not ordinary. You are all elite officers of the Supperazza city police. In the future, you may face similar adversaries. This time, consider it a learning experience, cooperating to catch the criminals while ensuring your own safety. The actual arrest will be carried out by us."From now on, everyone must turn off their phones. There should be no contact with the outside world until the operation is over. Be on time. At 8 o'cloc

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
