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
The kids all got gifts, so naturally their mothers, Justin's aunts, got gifts too. They were women after all, and loved looking young and beautiful. So Justin directly gave them 10 full sets of the face masks he had made, the highest concentration, most effective supreme-level ones. The effects of one use could last up to 10 years, no problem. On top of that, there were many luxurious clothes. These were all taken from the stores under his name, so they didn't cost him anything. Seeing how delighted the aunts were, Justin also smiled. But just then, a BMW suddenly stopped at the door, and a fat middle-aged man stepped out with a gaudily dressed woman. Everyone's expression turned gloomy when they saw these two people. Logically, this woman was also Justin's aunt. However, she hadn't done many nice things. Even when Justin was little, she liked to flaunt her son in front of him. She repeatedly put Justin down, and her sharp words had once made Justin depressed for a period, almost
"What...what did you say?" The woman was completely incredulous. She thought her offer of cooperation was impossible to refuse, and had not at all expected Justin to reject it. This just showed how highly the woman thought of herself. If you think about it, with the unpleasant history between the two families, Justin would have to have been kicked in the head by a donkey to agree."I never repeat myself, but since you're my aunt, I'll make an exception and not hit you today. I said I don't like you and don't want to cooperate with you, so go find someone else. I won't be entertaining you here."After saying this, he directly led his parents and uncle's family into the living room, completely ignoring the man and woman."Too outrageous, truly too outrageous. Just because he got some education? What's there to be so arrogant about? He actually dares speak to me like this? Does he think I can't make those masks without him? Let me tell you, I have plenty of ways. Brat, since you don't k
Justin told Derek to lay low for now. Although Derek didn't know why he had to do this, he chose to trust Justin, since the kid had never let him down before.For a time, this fake mask was wildly popular on the market. Although the price wasn't cheap either, this thing was good! Many women scrambled to buy it up. Justin's aunt was nearly counting money until her hands cramped. Seeing the green bills flowing in daily, she was extremely smug inside. If Justin was in front of her now, she would certainly viciously mock him....Despite staying up late last night, Justin still woke up early. There was a saying in the village - on the first morning of the new year, you can't sleep in, otherwise you'll have terrible luck all year. Although there was no scientific basis for this, the villagers firmly believed it. In the morning, the pops and bangs of firecrackers rang out in the little village. The children of relatives who had stayed over at the Wilsons' last night also got up.Justin t
Although this wasn't a huge amount of money for Justin, for the old couple who had been thrifty for so long, it was very much. Stephen didn't decline and happily accepted it. Justin had tried to get it back from him at one point, but the guy refused no matter what, claiming it was from his grandparents and even his godfather couldn't ask for it back.This made Justin so angry he almost slapped him with his shoe sole.After several days of this ridiculous affair, the guy finally left two days later. Only then did Justin breathe a sigh of relief, but it still wasn't over. Next he had to face a barrage of questioning from dad.In the end Justin had to give in and admit he wouldn't randomly recognize godsons anymore or cause such trouble again in the future, before dad would let the matter go. Otherwise, who knew how long he would have been lectured.It was the seventh day of the lunar new year, and the village was holding a bonfire celebration, as was tradition every year on this day.
