Meanwhile, the video about the Schulz family scandal continued spreading on the internet.As the Schulz family began developing a very notorious image in the eyes of the public, Schulz Group did not bother giving an official explanation in regards to this matter at all.The enthusiastic netizens came to Schulz Group’s official website and their official Facebook page to condemn the Schulz family. The public relations team of Schulz Group was all completely helpless.Just as Helen and Sophie were still missing in the eyes of the public, Schulz Group came forward and made a high-profile announcement stating that Sheldon would be temporarily taking over as the acting chairman of Schulz Group.This was also equivalent to the Schulz family officially announcing Sheldon’s return to the public.What was even more interesting was that Sheldon’s return aroused the sympathy of many people.Many people felt that Sheldon was very pitiful and miserable.His father had betrayed his illegitima
Since she was performing the concert for someone whom she loved dearly, she naturally had to put even more thought and effort into it.Therefore, although there was still time before the performance, the preliminary work team had already arrived in Aurous Hill in advance to begin making very detailed preparations for the concert.Quinn was originally a top singer and actress in the country. So, the overall specifications and quality of her concerts had always been very high. However, the specifications and quality of her concert this time were exceptionally high because of Charlie.Firstly, the venue of the concert would be held at the largest Olympic stadium in Aurous Hill, which could accommodate more than fifty thousand people.Secondly, all of the stage equipment included the world’s top devices, lighting, sound effect, stage, and background.Also, the chief director, tuner, lighting engineer, and dance team were from the largest production team in Europe and the United Stat
When Isaac saw that Charlie seemed to be acting indifferent toward this matter, Isaac could not help but say anxiously, “Young Master, even though Jaime’s mother and sister’s whereabouts are still unknown, he is still in the mood to pursue and go after Miss Quinn. This can only prove that he is a very heartless and ruthless person! It would truly be a huge injustice if a good girl like Miss Quinn actually gets deceived and falls for someone like him! In that case, Miss Quinn will not be the only one suffering a loss, but wouldn’t you be losing out a lot too?!”Charlie coughed twice before he said, “Don’t worry about it blindly anymore. I am already a married man. Nana has the freedom to choose the man she wants to be with. We do not have the right to worry about her at all.”After he was done speaking, Charlie could not help but feel a little uncomfortable deep inside.At the same time, Charlie was also surprised because he actually agreed with what Isaac had just said.As Isaac ha
Sheldon said, “According to the shipping department, it is because Schulz Group’s overseas reputation has declined too sharply recently. Therefore, we have failed to achieve the overall score that is needed. So, they need us to make some rectifications first. Before the rectification process is over, they will not allow us to continue our ocean shipping business for the time being.”Cadfan was shocked, and he said, “How can that be? Did they tell us how long we will need to rectify it?”Sheldon shook his head and said, “There is no time limit for the rectification process. They said that we should try to make the rectifications as soon as possible. After we are done, they will arrange for a review at their own time. If the review goes well, they will be able to restore our shipping license, then.”Cadfan yelled, “Aren’t they simply trampling over us when we are already at our lowest?! The fastest business our Schulz Group has developed in the past two years is the ocean shipping bus
“The Ito family?!”When Cadfan heard those words, he immediately cursed coldly, “D*mn it! That godd*mned Ito Yahiko is not worthy at all. When we were initially planning to choose between the Ito family and the Takahashi family back then, he only knew how to kiss ass and try to get into our good books all the time! Now that the Matsumoto and Takahashi family are done for, he has suddenly become so powerful! This is simply ridiculous!”The ocean shipping industry was one of the most profitable industries at the moment. If a large container ship were to run on a European or American route with a full load, one container freight would cost about twenty to thirty thousand dollars, and a single trip would already generate an income of at least tens of millions of dollars’ worth in freight.The Schulz family owned the largest transportation fleet in Oskia. As long as these ships were running, they would be able to generate extremely high profits. Therefore, this was definitely the core an
Sheldon said awkwardly, “Dad, Jaime has just gone to Aurous Hill. If we were to change our minds at this time, it will certainly be a huge blow to his enthusiasm. After all, he truly likes Quinn Golding very much.”“Hm…” Cadfan smacked his lips together before he said, “You can ask Jaime to continue trying to pursue Quinn Golding. At the same time, you can try to make an appointment with Ito Yahiko, or you can even try to make an appointment with Ito Nanako directly to see if they will agree to a face-to-face meeting with us. At most, we can give them a bigger share of the profits. As long as they are willing to establish a joint-venture with us and help us revitalize our business, we can give 20% of the total shares and profits from the joint-venture to them.”Sheldon nodded in agreement before he said, “Dad, I will talk to the Ito family first. If it is possible, I will try to make an appointment with them as soon as possible.”“Okay!”***At this time, Tokyo, Japan.It was a b
When Kurenai saw Nanako’s desperate attempt to cover up, Kurenai sighed before she said helplessly, “Miss Nanako, if I could put a mirror in front of you now, you would understand that you are truly the worst liar in this whole world!”Nanako’s face flushed red out of embarrassment at this time, and she immediately said in a faltering manner, “I am not… I really… I…”“Alright, alright…” Kurenai said helplessly, “Miss Nanako, I am just your assistant, so you don’t need to put in so much effort to lie to me. However, I hope that your acting will not be as bad when you are facing Charlie…”Nanako could not hide her embarrassment, and she said, “Sorry, Kurenai. I actually…”As she spoke, Nanako suddenly felt a little speechless. She sighed helplessly before she said, “Sigh. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Thank you for your reminder. Please help me put Momotaro into the airbox and remember to feed it some water beforehand. We will be taking the helicopter to the airport in a sho
However, Kurenai also had her own concerns.She was worried that Nanako would enjoy herself too much and forget about everything else after she saw the man that she was in love with upon arriving in Aurous Hill.Many, especially capable and promising people, would often lose their morale and pursuit in life because of the person that they loved.Therefore, Kurenai was also afraid that Nanako would not want to return to Japan anymore after going to Aurous Hill.However, Kurenai did not dare to express her worry because she was afraid that she would leave a psychological hint on Nanako as soon as she said it. So, she said, “Miss Nanako, I will go and settle Momotaro down first. After that, I will come and meet you again when I am ready.”Nanako looked at the time before she said, “You don’t need to come and find me again. The helicopter will take off in twenty minutes. We can just meet on the tarmac.”“Okay, Miss Nanako! I will go over there first!”After Kurenai had left, Nanako’
Charlie shook his head and replied, "I live in another building." As he said that, he pressed the button for the first floor in the elevator. The woman nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I thought you two were a couple. You look so well-matched." "No, no..." Nanako, feeling embarrassed, quickly replied, "Uh... We're just friends." The woman nodded and stopped teasing her. The elevator soon reached the first floor. Charlie bid farewell to the two women, got off the elevator, and walked toward the villa area. At this moment, he could never have imagined that the woman who had been in the same elevator with him was actually an underling of his biological mother. The reason she had returned a step ahead of him was also part of a carefully planned arrangement. Ashley was worried that Charlie might overthink things, so she had deliberately arranged for the woman to appear in front of him, allowing him to confirm that the woman was just an ordinary person who knew nothing a
Just as Charlie and Nanako were about to get out of the car, a female driver exited her car in the parking space diagonally opposite. After locking her car, she carried her bag and walked toward the elevator hall. When Nanako saw the woman, she turned to Charlie and said, "Charlie, that is the neighbor I mentioned. That day, I overheard her talking to a friend on the phone, and that's how I found out that Master Jeevika was coming to Aurous Hill." Charlie nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "It seems we should thank her when we get the chance. With just one phone call, she inadvertently helped you attain enlightenment." "Yes!" Nanako fully agreed with Charlie's point, saying, "If it weren't for her, I might not have had the chance to attain enlightenment." She then asked, "Do you want to meet Master Jeevika? Maybe he can give you some inspiration." Charlie shook his head. "My situation is special, so it's better to avoid meeting strangers who have already attained enlightenme
Due to the time difference, Charlie did not immediately call Kathleen. However, he believed that this matter was a piece of cake for her, so he planned to call her in the evening to discuss it and then start working on the follow-up plans. So, Charlie said to Nanako, "I think there's no need for you to continue practicing martial arts. Instead, why not come with me to the villa this afternoon and help me out? Once we're done, we can both head back to Thompson First." Without hesitation, Nanako nodded and said, "I'm all yours." She then asked, "Should I inform Master Howton of my departure?" Charlie waved his hand and said, "He must still be teaching. Let's talk to him privately later." "Okay." After that, Charlie and Nanako went to his villa halfway up the mountain. Once they got to the basement of the villa, Nanako was taken aback by the sight of a simple fluid-filling machine with many unused bottles and caps nearby. She asked, "Why do you have pharmaceutical equipment
With this thought in mind, Charlie silently decided to spend more time at the villa in the future, where he could focus on studying cultivation. Perhaps he might discover a breakthrough path based on his current foundation. However, the thought of Holly's family living in the villa next door posed a dilemma. If he went there every day to practice in seclusion, he would inevitably have to pass by Holly's house. Out of courtesy, it would be impossible not to greet them. But once he started exchanging pleasantries, his efficiency would naturally decrease. Moreover, it would eventually cause a misunderstanding if Nanako were to go there every day as well. Thus, Charlie felt an eagerness to find a new place for cultivation. After some thought, the lakeside mansion that Kathleen had purchased under the alias Kylie when she was in Aurous Hill came to mind. The Quinton family's villa, located in the Sonfo Valley far from the city, was nestled among mountains and waters, boasting exce
Nanako could also feel that the energy available for her to draw upon in her Sea of Consciousness had suddenly surged. Her sensory abilities, which had already improved significantly after achieving enlightenment, instantly leaped to an even higher level. The Reiki within her body became exceptionally abundant. With just a slight movement of her divine sense, the Reiki immediately dispersed from within her, making the entire office feel as if it was under her bird's-eye view, completely under her control. Moreover, this sense of control continued to extend outward. In just a short moment, eight nearby rooms also fell within her perception range. Charlie could sense the Reiki Nanako was releasing. Observing her closely, he noticed that her body was already brimming with Reiki, suggesting that it was no longer possible for her to continue taking the elixir. After a while, Nanako retracted the Reiki she had been using for perception and looked up at Charlie, saying, "Previously I co
Although Nanako had just attained enlightenment, she had already realized a critical problem: the Reiki available to her was very little, and there was almost no external channel for obtaining Reiki. For cultivators today, getting Reiki was the most difficult thing. There was no Reiki in the world, so the only external channels to obtain Reiki were elixirs, spiritual stones, or formations. If someone had a complete cultivation method, he could generate Reiki in his body by practicing the method, but for people like Charlie and Nanako who lacked such methods, this self-sufficient path was not feasible. Therefore, the small amount of Reiki that was generated in Nanako's body when she attained enlightenment was basically used up after she tried to sense Reiki. Charlie was slightly better than Nanako. The spiritual stones he accidentally obtained in the early days provided him with a lot of Reiki. Later, he relied on Cultivating Pills to barely make up for the gap in Reiki. Altho
Nanako giggled gently, thinking that Charlie was exaggerating. "You're so funny, Charlie. Who could possibly fail to attain enlightenment for hundreds of years? Those who haven't probably wouldn't live that long anyway, right?" Charlie smiled ambiguously. The matter concerning Vera was, of course, something he couldn't share with anyone, including Nanako. However, it was indeed a fact that Vera, despite taking the Eternal Pill and living for so many years, still hadn't attained enlightenment. Moreover, back in the day, Fumiko had served Marcius faithfully for an entire lifetime. From the paintings, it was evident that Marcius was genuinely devoted to Fumiko at that time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to fulfill his promise after obtaining his opportunities. Yet, despite receiving Marcius's wholehearted support, Fumiko still failed to achieve enlightenment. In contrast, Nanako had managed to attain enlightenment so effortlessly, merely through the guidance of a monk.
Caden didn't know what kind of gifts Charlie was planning to give everyone, but from his perspective, since each of the over 400 people would receive one, it was likely something that could be bought with money. Caden was as rich as a king and wasn't particularly interested in things that money could buy. However, since Charlie had mentioned it, he naturally wanted to show his support. He expressed his gratitude, saying, "Despite your busy schedule, you're still thinking of us. I'm truly honored, and on behalf of everyone, I thank you." Charlie chuckled. "You're welcome." Caden respectfully replied, "If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead and ask Miss Ito to come over." "Okay." Caden retreated and went back to the martial arts hall. He called Nanako over and said in a low voice, "Miss Ito, Mr. Wade is at the manager's office right now. He wants to see you." "What?" Nanako squealed in pleasant surprise. "Mr. Wade is here? Oh my, I'll go over now! Thank you, Master Howton."
After that, Charlie asked, "Has everything been going well here lately?" Caden clasped his hands respectfully and replied, "Everything has been going very well. With the follow-up mental techniques you provided from the Taoist Sect Hanbloom Method, everyone's foundations are very solid. This batch of students has made the fastest progress I've seen in all my years of teaching." Charlie remembered his disciple, Sonia, who had previously taken the entire Taoist Sect to Oskia on her own initiative, effectively becoming part of his sect. Since he didn't have time to manage them, he had left everything under Caden's supervision. Curious, he asked, "How are the Taoist Sect disciples doing in their training?" Caden responded, "These disciples' training progress has been much faster than when they were in the United States. Sonia is now like a workaholic, training all day, every day, and her progress is astonishing—beyond my expectations." He continued, unable to hide his admiration, "
