Adding these factors together, few believed Ricard had a chance.The track had a dedicated viewing room, with experts providing live commentary on each stage.During the preparation phase, Lies approached Ricard with an offer: “My friend, Leona’s car is specially modified. It accelerates to 100 km/h in less than three seconds, has a lowered frame, and is tailored for this track. Even professional racers can’t beat him without a good car. I can lend you my car.”“Thanks, but no need. I’ll drive my wife’s car,” Ricard smiled.“Drive my car?” Jeannie was stunned. It wasn’t that she didn’t want Ricard to use her car, but the Mercedes GT was far inferior to Leona’s custom GTR.A silver-white GTR roared onto the track, eliciting cheers and screams from the crowd. Leona, sitting in the driver’s seat, looked at Ricard with disdain.Ricard took Jeannie’s car keys and ran to the parking lot. Shortly after, a bright red Mercedes GT drove into the track. This car, priced at $1.97 million, feature

And for civilian cars? First, there’s a small discrepancy in specifications right from the factory. Daily use wears down the car's hardware, and the tires, affecting its performance. Yet, if someone can still master its limits, it’s extremely impressive.The middle-aged man shook his head and stepped away from the window. "No need to watch anymore. It’s decided. The GTR is sure to lose. With such cornering techniques, its tires will burst before reaching the finish line."While Jame and the middle-aged man talked, the two cars on the track had navigated the nine consecutive curves. The Mercedes GT, initially trailing fifty meters behind the GTR, was now closely following it.Ricard floored the accelerator, glancing briefly at the GTR’s tires and murmured, "The tires are severely worn, reducing the grip. It won't be able to pull away from me on the straightaways."Ricard leaned back in his seat, one hand on the window, supporting his head, and the other on the steering wheel, looking m

"It hasn’t been that bad," Ricard took a sip of water. "But Director Li seems very busy. I waited all afternoon on the first day, only to be asked to leave the proposal and leave. Yesterday, I waited again, and she told me to revise the proposal, which I left with the receptionist. Today, it seems Director Li is still busy.""Busy?" Lisbeth frowned. She had entrusted Amy with the crucial task of negotiating with Demneri Group. No matter how busy she was, nothing should be more important than this partnership.Lisbeth signaled the receptionist through the glass window.The receptionist walked in and respectfully asked, "Did you need me, Ms. Poehler?""Prepare a cup of tea for Mr. Ricard, and tell me, did he leave a proposal with the reception yesterday?"The receptionist nodded. "Yes, Ms. Poehler. I notified Director Li to pick it up.""Did she collect it?""No, she hasn’t," the receptionist shook her head."Alright, I understand. Please go make the tea," Lisbeth said, waving her away.

"Irena, you've really ruined me this time! I will make it clear to the family that if my life is ruined, you won't have it easy either!" Amy glared at Irena before standing up and walking away quickly.Irena turned pale with fear. If her cousin really took the fall because of her, her life within the family would be miserable.Lisbeth stormed out of the spa, taking a deep breath to suppress her anger. She realized she had lost her temper a bit earlier, but she just couldn't control it, not just because of Amy's issues but also because of her own feelings.Lisbeth couldn't deny that after hearing the news of Ricard's marriage, her mood had been terrible, so bad that she didn't want to care about anything, just wanted to get drunk and fall into a deep, forgetful sleep.Lisbeth was unwilling to let go. At the orphanage, Ricard's presence had already entered her heart. Although their interactions were few, everything Ricard did seemed perfectly fitting to her, giving her a sense of spirit

"Understood," President Mann nodded. As the hospital director, he immediately assigned three experienced surgeons from the conference room to assist Ricard.Three lead surgeons assisting a young man? This was unprecedented at People's Hospital No. 1. The young doctors, seeing how President Mann listened to the young man, were very curious about who Ricard was.The patient was already in the intensive care unit. Once Ricard decided to operate, the patient was immediately brought into the operating room.Ricard was well-versed in pre-surgery procedures—sterilization, wearing protective clothing. Once everything was ready, he led the three doctors into the operating room. Given the difficulty of the surgery, President Mann did not prevent others from observing and learning.As Ricard entered the operating room, he arranged the surgical tools and spoke to the patient, "Take a deep breath, try to relax as much as you can. How are you feeling now?"A pained female voice replied, "... Ricard

This was not the first time Ricard had made such a suggestion. Each time, Director Valverde would just smile and tell Ricard that she was already enjoying her old age. The orphanage was her home, and watching the children grow up was the happiest thing for her. She could calmly accept anything that might happen, but she couldn't bear to leave these children.For such a kind elderly person, what could Ricard say? He felt fortunate to have met such a good person like Director Valverde when he was young.After talking with Director Valverde, Ricard walked to the main yard of the orphanage. Suddenly, he heard a noisy commotion and Lisbeth's angry argument.“What’s going on?” Ricard frowned. He saw the children standing in the yard, opening carefully packed fruit crates. The fruit, which appeared to be of high quality from the packaging, was mostly rotten or wilted. Some crates, when opened, had thick liquid pooled at the bottom.At the orphanage gate, a truck bore the Red Cross emblem. Th

The slaps echoed continuously. After about ten slaps, Ricard stopped. Naomi's beautiful face was swollen, her mouth bleeding, and her sunglasses long gone, her eyes full of tears.As Ricard released her, Naomi screamed and lunged at him. Ricard, feeling no pity for her, kicked her hard, sending her flying several meters out of the pool.Naomi fell to the ground, covered in mud. "Alright, I'm far enough now," Ricard said, brushing off his hands.Naomi, trembling all over, pointed at Ricard with hatred. "I'll make you pay! I'll make you pay!"Ricard ignored her threats and turned his gaze back to Jonas. "Answer my question: where's the aid money?"Jonas looked grimly at Ricard. "Kid, I don’t know who you are or who sent you, but I advise you that some things are beyond your control."Ricard cleaned his ear with his pinky finger, glancing at the two-story villa behind Jonas. "And if I insist on controlling it?""Then you should think carefully about the consequences!" Jonas suddenly pick

"Absurd!" Supervisor Rio shouted, cutting off Naomi. "Ricard has been committed to charity work for years, having donated hundreds of millions of dollars. Do you think he'd be jealous of you? Would he frame Jonas? The evidence is overwhelming. Jonas, if you have anything to say, save it for the court."Supervisor Rio's words were like a thunderbolt, shocking Jonas and Naomi. Donated hundreds of millions of dollars? This young man, who looked so ordinary, had donated that much?Naomi's mouth hung open, unable to speak.Two police officers stepped out of the police cars, wordlessly cuffed Jonas, and led him away.Jonas's face turned ashen. He understood what it meant to donate hundreds of millions of dollars—it was someone whose word could influence the entire association. He had lost completely.Ironically, he had just lectured someone about how the world belonged to the wealthy, and now he was the one being treated like a fool.Jonas looked at the handcuffs reflecting the sunlight on

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
