I Am Not Useless Son-In-Law!

Chapter 10: Underestimated At Corporate Entrance.

The next morning, a sensational piece of news spread through Lightharbor City. Pinnacle Dynamics, the largest corporation in Lightharbor, had been acquired by a mysterious owner for a staggering price of 100 billion USD!

Pinnacle Dynamics underwent a change of ownership, with the original chairman stepping down and handing over the company to a young talent. This news set off a buzz throughout Lightharbor, with all the major families speculating about the identity of this business giant.

When Anderson woke up, he received a message from his grandfather saying that everything had been arranged smoothly and asking him to take over Pinnacle Dynamics.

The night before, after buying a new phone, he had sent a message to Mr. Lewis about this new number, so it was not surprising to receive a text from him. But the fact that a seventy-year-old man texted instead of calling showed a certain distance, unfamiliarity with this grandson who had fallen from the sky.

Anderson didn't rush to take over Pinnacle Dynamics immediately; instead, he prepared breakfast and waited for Lauren, who didn't have to work today and woke up later than usual.

"Alright, now that I have nothing to do, sitting at home and eating together like this, waiting to die, is also fine!" Lauren said during breakfast.

"From today on, I'll be responsible for taking care of the family, and you just need to become more beautiful and happy." Anderson smiled.

"If you have the ability, you should find ways to increase your own value. I can't live like you, just eating and waiting to die. I'll go out and look for another job while waiting for the divorce." Lauren said.

"You don't need to work; don't rush to find a job, just rest at home for a day. I have some errands to run, need to step out for a while." After saying this, Anderson left.

As Anderson and his small electric bike arrived at the Pinnacle Dynamics Building, a BMW suddenly appeared. A man and a woman in elegant attire stepped out - Conrad Lopez and Caroline Harris.

"Anderson, what are you doing here?" Caroline asked in surprise.

Anderson didn't want to engage with his troublesome sister-in-law and chose to ignore her.

"He must be here to look for a job. How strange, a lazy and useless man who never does anything, now appearing to find work. Has the sun risen from the west?" Caroline spoke loudly, not giving Anderson a chance to respond.

"He must be looking for a job because of the bet with us yesterday, trying to earn money for the wedding." Conrad said.

"I really don't know where he gets his confidence from. Daring to say he will hold a wedding a hundred times grander than ours. Pure fantasy! Just so you know, we've booked an entire floor of the New Century Hotel, what are you planning to do to outdo us?" Caroline said arrogantly.

"Perhaps you don't realize how luxurious the New Century hotel is. Let me enlighten you: in Lightharbor, besides the famous Endless Milky Way hotel, New Century is the next best. If your wedding can match mine in grandeur, I'll gladly be a servant in your house." Conrad said with a sneer of contempt.

"We've announced the news that you'll be competing with us in wedding extravagance. I dare say it's the most sensational news in the city right now, first being the change in chairmanship of the Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation, and second, our wedding. Now the whole city knows about it, I can't wait to see how you'll deal with this. It's too late for regrets now!" Caroline said.

Anderson was annoyed by this despicable couple's presence, but he patiently asked: "What are you doing here?"

With Mr. Lewis handling the upcoming wedding, Anderson wasn't worried at all. Now that he is chairman of Pinnacle Dynamics, he just wanted to know the purpose of Caroline and her husband's visit.

"We're here for some important business! Today, with the change in Pinnacle Dynamics' leadership, we'll seize the opportunity to sign a different contract with them."

"You know my Uncle, Everett Lopez, is the head of project development at Pinnacle Dynamics, right? He's authorized to decide on any of the corporation's projects."

"So that's how it is." Anderson heard this, smiled slightly, and made a decision in his mind.

"Unlike you, who learned nothing and only knows how to scrounge, now you even dare to come here looking for a job? You'd better go work as a laborer! Know your place." Caroline said.

Anderson remained silent, not rushing to leave. He wanted to see how far this couple would go in humiliating him before he meted out appropriate punishment.

"If you want a job, you better kneel and beg me. I'll ask my uncle to arrange some menial job for you, like cleaning, security, or janitorial work..." At this point, Conrad and his wife burst into loud laughter. Last night, to save the Harris family's face, he didn't dare humiliate Anderson too much, but now there was nothing to worry about.

"That's too bad, your uncle will be fired today." Anderson said calmly and ended the conversation by walking straight into the Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation building.

Conrad and Caroline were frozen in place. After a moment of shock, Conrad regained his composure and asked:

"What did that loser just say?"

"He said your uncle would be fired today." Caroline said.

"Nonsense! To curse my uncle with job loss, let go of me Caroline, I'll give that Anderson a beating he won't forget!" Conrad, fuming with anger, wanted nothing more than to rush over and confront Anderson.

Caroline held him back, advising: "This is Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation. Mind your image, let him go. You'll have plenty of opportunities to humiliate him later!"

Hearing this, Conrad gradually calmed down. There's no need to talk much; just wait a bit longer until they get inside, and then Anderson'll see who ends up embarrassed. Then, the couple entered Pinnacle Dynamics to meet with Everett Lopez, the director of project development at the corporation.
