Though thinking about it, Timothy felt a twinge of envy towards Justin. Just what kind of good karma did this guy accumulate in his past life? To be surrounded by one stunning beauty after another while he, Timothy, had swaggered for so long yet couldn't even get Bella?This was an opportunity. Maybe he could take advantage and win all three girls over. Then he could live a heavenly existence. Hahahaha!So Timothy leapt out dramatically before the crowds and shouted, "Justin, you scumbag! You're the worst, deceiving the feelings of two such gorgeous ladies, and still trying to seduce Bella! Do you think you've been fair to these beauties who trusted you?"Hearing this, black lines fell down Justin's face. Things were chaotic enough without this clown Timothy barging in seeking attention. What a shit-stirrer. Bella was clever enough to see through Timothy's ploy immediately. Of course she would stand up for Justin now."Timothy Knight, I've told you before, we're just ordinary classma
"Damn, can't believe Timothy was actually like this! We were really fooled by that fake nice guy act. Now his true colors are shown plain as day. I declare he's no longer my idol. I was blind to worship someone like him before," one student declared."No different from those other spoiled brats in the end. So he's been putting on an act this whole time. Gotta admit, his acting skills are Oscar-worthy," another commented wryly.The students buzzed, incredulous that the modest, courteous gentleman in their eyes could have such a despicable side. Many fans instantly turned against Timothy. Some lovestruck girls even dramatically fainted, as if their worldview had been shattered.Seeing the video playing overhead, Timothy turned ghostly pale. He hadn't expected Justin to record it, much less broadcast it so publicly. His image was utterly destroyed. Furious, he charged at Justin."You bastard, how dare you frame me! I'll kill you!"Facing the incoming assault, Justin reacted without hesit
Not just him, even the employees below were beaming with smiles, filled with a strong sense of accomplishment and pride. What could the old families of Nova State do? They had been left in shambles overnight.But just as he was speaking animatedly, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was his boss, he stopped talking and gestured for everyone to quiet down. He then hurried to the side to take the call."Hello, Boss! I was just about to share the good news when you called. What? You were stopped at the entrance? What are those guards doing? How dare they stop even you - do they want to keep their jobs or not? I'll come get you right away and fire those guys, let them scram. What? You don't want me to fire them but to give them a raise and promotion instead? Boss, you're joking right? Oh, okay, I'll be right there."After saying this, Cameron West left the conference room, rushing downstairs because the elevator was taking too long. He almost broke the elevator button from mashing it, and
Seeing the smiles on the employees' faces, Justin also felt very happy. He could finally use his own ability to bring everyone happiness - it felt great.But such generous benefits shocked Cameron West and the other executives. Cameron pulled Justin aside, asking incredulously, "Boss, you really want to pay so much? Isn't that too generous? How about just giving them three days off to spend time with family, no need for overseas tours.""Three days? Are you kidding me? Let me tell you, as my employee you should have the easiest job, highest pay, longest vacation, and best life.""Now I finally understand why the company was always unsuccessful under you - you weren't generous to your subordinates, so how could they be loyal to you?""Enough, do as I said. You guys figure out the schedule."Cameron smiled obsequiously, rubbing his hands with a fawning grin that gave Justin the creeps. Someone who didn't know better might think he had some weird fetish."What are you doing? Don't look a
"But now that you're here, it can finally go to its rightful owner. My own office is just next door if you need me for anything.""Speaking of work, I do have something for you," said Justin, opening his laptop to the charts System had provided showing recent stock trends likely to surge soon. Though all green now, System's predictions were never wrong - a spike was sure to come."Keep an eye on these stocks for me. I expect some movement soon. It won't be as much as we just made, but every little bit counts. Set up the buys for me." "Ah, but Mr. Wilson, didn't you just promise to let me go abroad to see my daughter? Now you're working me again - exploiting my surplus value! I shall file a complaint.""Fuck. How does your brain even work? Can't you just get someone to handle it?""But you're the boss around here. Why don't you oversee it yourself?" Cameron shot back.Justin instantly silenced him with a withering retort. Fine, dealing with a boss who loved to kick back was a headache
Pale but shaking her head, Emily managed a faint smile. "I'm fine Mr. Wilson, don't worry. As long as I'm here, they'll never get company intel, I assure you."Only then did she produce the laptop she'd shielded, now with a cracked screen that remained dark no matter how she pressed the keys. It must have shattered during the fight."I'm so sorry Mr. Wilson, I broke the laptop. But don't worry, I have all the data backed up. You can have someone you trust retrieve the hard drive if you're concerned." Justin just laughed, wholly unbothered. As long as she was alright, the money meant nothing. "Actually I thought that model was a bit outdated. No worries - we'll get you a new one once this is dealt with."He was nonchalant as Tiger entered. "Yo Master, what brings you by today? I've been practicing the skills you taught me. Want me to show you? I kicked that SOB outside right into the wall - stuck there and everything." But Justin strode over and thwacked Tiger's bald pate. "Some nerv
Streams of employees filed in carrying hefty stacks of documents requiring the Chairman's signature - tasks Emily previously handled for the indifferent Justin.Seeing everyone arrive, Emily steadied herself and resumed work though still looking pale. Not wanting to tax her further, Justin said "That's enough - I'll review these files myself. Emily, go rest in my office.""I'm really fine Mr. Wilson, please relax. I'll handle this, you go rest.""That's an order. Rest in my office now while I take care of things here. If you collapse from exhaustion, who will help me handle this mess? I can chip away at it briefly, but being trapped here full-time with all this paperwork might just drive me mad. Go rest, I've got this covered."Seeing his resolve, Emily nodded and retreated to Justin's office with its freshly made bed that he'd never once used. In his tenure so far, Justin had barely done any actual work, just making the occasional call or remark to set his people scrambling.For a fu
But Justin was just that kind of fool. Not only did he let each employee select a car, he also informed the dealerships to handle all the paperwork before sending them off in high spirits.Only then did the employees finally believe this was real. They were so moved they nearly knelt in gratitude before Justin. Fortunately no one actually fainted from excitement this time, sparing them that embarrassment.After leaving the dealerships, Justin went shopping for his family. With only four days left until he returned home, he had made no preparations yet - completely unacceptable for a son. His parents had worked tirelessly for so long. Even if nothing else, he had to bring proper New Year's gifts! And in the village, he was something of a celebrity. All the neighbors would certainly drop by over the holidays, so having gifts on hand would strengthen those bonds and give him face - a win-win.Most importantly, he knew his maternal grandparents had five children. All those uncles, aunts,
