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,
Flushed red, Shane had no retort. He hurriedly pulled his son home.Justin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Some backbone you had there, Dad! It's one thing to falter yourself, but you ditched your daughters-in-law too!"Come on, Dad, Uncle! Let's go home," he said, leading them to a large van that could fit 10.Inside were Ava, Mia, Bella, and even the famous actress who had skipped work to join them. With advertising shots wrapping up, she had generously come along for the ride at no cost. Justin was happy to have her visit, especially with Mia here - he certainly couldn't refuse!"Uncle, hello," the girls greeted in unison as they boarded, startling Shane. He had one foot raised when he instantly jerked back, pulling Justin aside to whisper:"You punk! What's going on here? Last time there were only two, now there are four? How many more are you planning to find?""Not four, three. And that celebrity is out of my league. But your son will keep trying his best - I'll double it b
Heavens, this put his Splendid Villa condo to shame! Justin Wilson almost didn't want to leave. Why would he? The comforts of home were unbeatable now."Is this really my house? Feels like I've stepped into heaven," Justin murmured in awe."Hmph, about time you show some conscience, boy. But this was all thanks to your company's architects and their hard work. You've no idea - the whole town knows the Wilsons have hit the big time now. The mayor even came around asking about investments. But I told him you'd have the final say. You'll need to think over this carefully. Also make sure to thank the workers properly - don't skimp on their wages. Give them a good bonus if you can," Shane instructed."Of course, Dad. When have I ever been stingy? That's just not my style!" "Good. Now hurry back, before your mother and aunt worry themselves sick."No sooner had Justin returned home than his mother and aunt rushed out to greet him, beaming and calling his name joyfully. Justin expected ju
