Jacob could have millions of dollars with shares in the company!Meanwhile, Ava also issued an ultimatum. "Anyway, I can only wait for you for a year. If things are not done within a year, we will go our separate ways. I am in the prime of my life and don't want to waste a lot of time on you. There are plenty of people chasing after me." Jacob nodded. He felt that Ava's words made sense. He thought to communicate with Andy first, and if that didn't work, then he would resort to drastic measures. Anyway, he felt that Andy was under their control.-Jacob called Andy before 8:00 a.m. and asked when he would be at the company. Andy was busy taking Cody and Max to school. Fortunately, they were now attending the same primary school, which saved a lot of time.When Andy said he would arrive at the company in a while, Jacob couldn't wait. Seeing a department supervisor arrive, he immediately stopped him."Mr. Welch, can I ask you something?" Finny Welch realized it was Jacob, so h
Andy was preparing to start his day in the office when Jacob pushed the door open without even knocking.Andy frowned. Before Jacob could voice out, Andy, clearly displeased, said, "Jacob, hasn't anyone taught you to knock before entering a room?"Jacob smiled, saying, "Andy, we're family! Do we really need to keep things formal between us?""I am the CEO, and you are an employee in the company. Who doesn't knock before coming in here? Don't you understand basic courtesy? Would you enter without knocking if I wasn't sitting here today?"It was only natural for Andy to educate Jacob. At the same time, he was also teaching Jacob some things in the workplace. What if Jacob complained about the low salary at the Innova Group and quit in the future? Although the probability was low, Jacob had to be made aware of what he needed to know.Jacob scratched his head. "I'll definitely pay attention next time!"Andy nodded and glanced at Jacob. "Tell me, what do you want to see me about?"
The Innova Group had a lot of dividend shares and Andy held less than 5% of the total dividend shares.Eric, Sylvia, and Michael owned similar proportions while the rest were distributed among their executives, Innova Tech, and every Innova employee. After Sylvia stepped down as the CEO, the dividend shares automatically reverted to the company. However, these shares were reserved and would be given to Sylvia when she returned. "How much am I getting?"Jacob was anxious to know how much money he could get from the Innova Group's dividends.Andy glanced at him. "You've only been with the company for a few days and already thinking about dividends? None of our employees have received any dividends so far, so stop dreaming."Neglecting your work and only thinking about making money from the company? Is the company a cash cow for you?"What's the use of giving you shares? You won't get a single penny!"Jacob was stunned. He intended to sell the shares when he was short of money whi
After picking up Cody and Max, Andy returned home to find that Elly had already prepared dinner.Now that the two children had grown up, Elly didn't need to spend too much energy caring for them, so she managed the household even more efficiently.Seeing Andy's expression, Elly knew his mood wasn't good. "What's wrong? Did something bad happen?"Andy hung his clothes on the rack and sighed. "Jacob, that brat, actually asked me for shares today! Who does he think he is?"He actually had the audacity to demand 1% of shares! Does he even understand what 1% of the Innova Group means? With the company's future development, 1% of shares could easily make him a millionaire!"I have no idea what the hell he is thinking!"I refused to give him the shares, and he called home to pressure me. It's ridiculous."After saying all that, he felt a lot better. Elly smiled. "Just don't give it to him. After all, he's your younger brother. Why get so angry with him? No one is closer than siblings
Andy thought Elly was great, but his family didn't share the same sentiment. He was now the CEO of a company with an annual salary of millions.In fact, what might take several generations for other families to accumulate in wealth, Andy had achieved in his generation alone because of his luck, fortune, and courage. Without any of these factors, he wouldn't have reached this level.At this point, being unable to control his affairs made Andy feel somewhat stifled.After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Eric, I remember Connor mentioned that you have some kind of remedy to influence the gender of a child?"After our wedding ceremony, Elly and I must have a child. Then, my family won't dare to say anything anymore."He had made up his mind. He and Elly must have a child, regardless of gender. It was best to get it done while Elly was still relatively young. In private, Sylvia had also told Elly that regardless of the circumstances, she must give birth to a child for Andy.Many
Early the next morning, Eric called Winston and asked him to help keep an eye out for the things he needed.Upon hearing the items, Winston knew what Eric was up to. After the pandemic, Winston was on a long vacation and wouldn't be bothered unless it was a matter of life and death. However, Eric's matter still needed to be taken care of. Anyway, it was just a matter of a few phone calls. He also possessed some of the things Eric needed, which were kept in good condition. The medicinal herbs Eric needed were not rare and precious, and he was more than happy to share his resources.Eric and Sylvia finished breakfast and discussed their plan to visit Elly at her shop. They intended to advise her to sell the business early if they wanted to start a family. Afterward, they planned to stop by the orphanage.However, their plans were interrupted when Sylvia received a call from Amelia."Mom, what's the matter?" Sylvia asked."Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong? You two haven't
Eric smiled. "Don't worry, Hol. Clarke has some of the things we need, just a few missing items. It will be ready once Hol. Clarke collects everything.""Thank you!" Andy grinned from ear to ear. Unfortunately, his smile didn't last long as his phone rang.Seeing it was Jacob calling, he answered. "What's up? Need more money again?"On Jacob's first day at work, Andy had given him some money, repeatedly reminding him to spend it sparingly until his next paycheck. But Jacob had already spent all the money."Where are you? Mom said she couldn't reach you on the phone. They have arrived in Salt City, and there's no one to pick them up. What's going on?"Andy felt a headache coming on. He had blocked his parents' number because he didn't want them meddling in his affairs. "Alright, I got it. I'll call her right away," Andy said.After hanging up, Andy called his mother and went to the train station to pick up his parents and Jacob.-Not only did Jacob come, but his girlfriend
Elly quietly took Cody and Max upstairs, and Sylvia followed suit. This was Andy's family matter, and it involved the Innova Group, so she didn't want to get involved.As Andy's best friend, Eric had every reason to stay there.After Elly and Sylvia went upstairs, Andy suddenly felt less pressured."Mom, distributing shares isn't as simple as just giving them away. With over 10,000 employees, if we give shares to Jacob, what about the rest of them? Will they still have any incentive to work?" Andy said."I don't care about your employees, but we are a family!"If you don't want to give shares, that's fine. In the past, when your father and I earned money from farming, we spent it together. Now that you're making money, we'll still spend it together!"No matter how much you earn, it will be divided into four shares among us!"Implicitly, she excluded Elly from the equation.Andy couldn't help but laugh. "Mom, you're right. You and Dad take two shares each, and Elly and I take on
