After George finished speaking, he looked Arthur up and down again and asked. "Why are you even in slippers?"
After George asked that, everyone noticed that Arthur was wearing a pair of Gucci slippers.
George was already angry because of how Arthur left the office without permission yesterday, and now that Arthur seemed to be in trouble, Williams interjected on behalf of Arthur. "Boss, you know Arthur is not like that."
At this moment, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the corner of the office. "Well, if he acted the way he did, wasn't he asking for trouble? If he hadn't left during working hours yesterday, why would Mr. Maddison have to trouble him?"
"Nobody asked you, Michelle." Williams's voice became much harsher. He still had some prestige in the department as a senior supervisor.
Michelle curled her lips and stopped talking. She took out a mirror and started to touch up her makeup for the ninth time.
"I'm fine, Will. Thanks." Arthur patted Williams's shoulder with a relaxed smile on his face.
Michelle was also considered a beauty in the office. She once liked Arthur, but Arthur didn't like her. After being rejected, Michelle quickly hooked up with a junior leader in the office as a backup and often made sarcastic remarks to Arthur.
As soon as he saw Michelle was angry, Jillian immediately rushed to Michelle and offered his courtesy: "Hey Michelle, don't worry about them. How about we go to the sea later?"
Thinking about the new car that Jillian just bought at such a young age, and that the troublesome Arthur, a poor boy, was about to be fired, Michelle finally breathed a sigh of relief and accepted Jillian's invitation with dignity.
The farce in the corner of the office did not affect Arthur at all. He turned on his computer, printed out a resignation form, and then walked into George's office with the resignation form.
When he walked into the office, George's female secretary was sitting on his lap. Seeing an employee coming, she quickly straightened her body and stood behind George to give him a back massage.
"Arthur, to be honest, your ability is increasingly unable to keep up with the company's requirements, and you still had the guts to leave work without permission..." George sighed and looked at Arthur who was standing in front of him. "I should have fired you, but you are a long-time employee after all. So, your salary this month will be cut in half, and you will have to work two more hours overtime every day for a month."
Just when George raised his head arrogantly, thinking that Arthur would burst into tears and regret his past mistakes, a piece of paper was slammed in front of him.
"Since you won't fire me, I'll resign myself!" Arthur put his resignation application in front of George and said with a half-smile, "Boss, you won't be reluctant to part with a useless employee like me, will you?"
George never thought that Arthur would have the courage to resign. The flaps on his face began to tremble with shock, and his lips opened and closed tremblingly for a long time, but he didn't utter a word.
Arthur was actually a hardworking and diligent employee who was willing to work hard. George wanted to exploit him for a few more years.
Seeing that George hadn't said anything, Arthur took it as his acquiescence: "I'm going to pack my stuff now, but remember to pay me the rest of my salary."
Even a hundred dollars was still money.
Seeing Arthur striding out of the office and starting to pack his luggage, employees throughout the company gave him sidelong glances.
"Arthur, were you fired?" Williams asked cautiously.
"No." Arthur's smile was still bright and cheerful, but his words were shocking, "I took the initiative to resign."
"What..." Williams looked at Arthur in disbelief.
Michelle's eyes lit up and she started to sneer. "Some people just don't know the limit of their worth."
Arthur looked at Michelle and smiled. "I'd better stay away from people like you."
Normally, Arthur didn't bother to pay attention to Michelle, but now as soon as he opened his mouth, Michelle was furious.
Jillian saw that this troublesome lady was outmaneuvered by Arthur, so he stepped forward and said, "Arthur, you have a lot of stuff, do you want me to drop you off at the bus station?"
"No need." Arthur shook his head, "I also brought my car."
When everyone heard that Arthur had bought a car, they became curious. After all, Arthur was a poor boy from the countryside, and the whole office knew it. Where did he get the money to buy a car?
Jillian's eyes lit up, and he quickly said modestly. "Really? Is it a high cost performance car, Arthur?"
"Why don't you take us out for a ride?" Jillian looked expectant, but his eyes were actually full of disdain.
Facing Jillian's flattery, Arthur smiled and said. "My car is a two-seater, so it can only accommodate me and my luggage."
"Two people?" A female colleague giggled. "Isn't that a motorcycle?"
"Motorcycles are pretty expensive nowadays," A colleague followed up with a wink, "Maybe it's an electric car."
“I think it’s a second-hand bicycle.”
Listening to his colleagues' ridicule, Jillian's eyes became even more contemptuous. He walked up to Arthur and said. "Arthur, why don't you take us to see your car?"
"Leave him alone, Jillian." Williams couldn't stand it any longer. He helped Arthur pick up a box and wanted to send him downstairs. "Arthur, don't worry about them. Let me see you off."
Arthur and Williams went downstairs first, and Jillian, Michelle and a group of colleagues who came to watch the fun followed them to the parking lot.
But as soon as they arrived at the parking lot, they saw a group of people queuing up to take pictures in front of a luxury car.
"It's my turn, everyone move aside!"
"Be careful not to scratch the car. If you damage the paint, you won't be able to pay for it even if you lose everything you own!"
"Wow, that's a nice car." Even Michelle couldn't help but exclaim when seeing the beautiful Pagani Zonda.
Jillian, who was standing behind Michelle, took two awkward steps forward. He originally thought that his Toyota would definitely attract the attention of all his colleagues, but now his Toyota parked next to the Pagani supercar, like the moon next to the sun. It had become redundant. He rolled his eyes asked Arthur. "Arthur, where is your car? Could it be this supercar?"
Hearing his words, his colleagues burst into laughter.
Arthur took Williams closer to the Pagani sports car with a normal expression.
"Young man, go line up in the back. Don't think you can cut in line just because you're handsome. It's first come first served!"
Looking at the group of men and women in front of him who were taking photos enthusiastically, Arthur sighed helplessly.
"Although I don't want to disturb you all, but..." Arthur pressed the Pagani's key and the lights suddenly came on. "I need to get to my car."
"What the hell? He's andsome and rich?""Oh my goodness, life is really not fair."They thought Arthur was just another Internet celebrity who lined up to take photos with the car, but it turned out that he was the owner of the car. Everyone present was bewildered beyond words.There were even a few Internet celebrities approaching Arthur and flirting with him. "Hello handsome, are you in need of a girlfriend? I'm available."Arthur took a step back and looked at Williams helplessly. "Hey Will, can you help me put the things in the trunk.""Oh, of course." Williams came back to his senses after being called by Arthur. He nodded mechanically and helped him to carry the items to the back of the sports car."The trunk is on the side." Arthur hurriedly reminded Williams.Williams followed Arthur and put the luggage into the trunk. Then he came to his senses and gave Arthur a thumbs up. "Arthur, you are really a guy who hides his true colors. You usually keep quiet, but now you own a sport
It was Sharon Stewart’s voice.Arthur quickly asked about the situation. "Sharon, where are you, what's wrong?""I..." Sharon gritted her teeth and answered. "I'm inside the teaching building of Maroon University. Arthur, I really can't find anyone to help me. Can you come and save me..."Arthur knew that Sharon was not a girl who would bother others easily, so after hearing her faint crying voice, he jumped off the bed without hesitation and grabbed the Pagani car keys. "Okay, I'm on my way. Just hold on."After saying that, he quickly went downstairs, rushed into the Pagani sports car, started the engine, and the roar of the car resounded through the sky.He turned on the hands-free mode of his mobile phone and placed it on the passenger seat, occasionally speaking to Sharon to exchange information.After Sharon's intermittent description, Arthur figured out the whole thing.Sharon was a campus beauty at the university. There were many people pursuing her, but she had no intention o
Hearing Arthur's words, Sharon's beautiful eyes sparkled brightly. "Are you sure my presence won't disturb...?""No, it's okay." Arthur shook his head. "They are just work colleagues, so you don't have to get acquainted to them. Just enjoy yourself.""Okay then." Sharon nodded quickly. "Thank you, Arthur."After confirming where Sharon was going to join them for dinner, Arthur suddenly looked her up and down for a long time, then suddenly turned the steering wheel and drove the fiery red sports car straight to the nearby shopping mall.When the car stopped at the entrance of the shopping mall, Sharon followed Arthur out of the car in a daze: "Are you here to buy something?""Yeah." Arthur locked the car casually, and then walked into the mall calmly under the gaze of the security guards.Sharon thought she was just a little helper who was accompanying him to carry his shopping bags. But when she found that Arthur took her into a light luxury women's clothing store, she was stunned.Ar
"That's great, it makes you look twice before trampling on poor guys like us!""This guy is not a poor boy, but a low-key rich second generation.""Imagine, a low-key handsome, rich, and gentle guy. I also want a rich second generation like him.""You have to be as pretty as that girl to have a chance, wake up.""Haha, they just made a joke and pretended to be rich, and you all fell for it."There were all kinds of comments under the posted video. Then the boy who recorded the video, posted a comment."I can guarantee that all of this really happened. Guys, please take a look at the angle I shot from. If this was a movie, would I have to hide in the corner and take a sneak shot?"After he made this comment, the video's popularity skyrocketed, and soon it became a popular video on different sites.Arthur had no idea what was happening on the Internet. At the time, he was choosing clothes for himself. After buying them, he and Sharon left the mall and got back into the Pagani."Arthur,
"Arthur, where do you think you're going?" Just as Arthur was about to step outside the office, George Holloway, the manager of the project development department, came out and asked angrily."Just want to clear my head, Boss." Arthur replied, trying to sooth his forehead with his hand. He had been thinking about the medical bill he received from the hospital where his father was admitted. "Clear your head? How many times do I have to tell you that this is a critical moment for the company's development?""I understand, Boss." Arthur clenched his fists, suppressed his anger, and answered with a fake smile."I don't think you do, Arthur. If you do, you won't be slacking off at this time." George said and patted him on the back with a bitter smile. "I know you've been putting in extra work these past few months, but I have higher expectations for you. You can do better than this, Arthur. So, for your own sake, don't let me down.""Yes, Boss. I won't let you down." Arthur sneered in his
Arthur was one of the most handsome boys in the school during his college years. He and the school beauty Julia Harrison were a handsome couple. But Arthur's family had no money, so Julia dumped him and hooked up with a rich man.Seeing Arthur's expression change, Julia thought that her words had touched his heart, and she was even more contemptuous and disdainful. "Arthur, please don't embarrass yourself here. You don't come to this kind of restaurant if you don't have money to back it up."The old man beside Julia turned his head and said a few words to Julia. After figuring out Arthur's identity, he narrowed his eyes and said. "Young man, don't worry. It is understandable that people make mistakes sometimes. I will pay for your meal this time as a big brother's gesture."Arthur ignored him and looked at the waiter who looked hesitant. He slowed down his tone and said, "Well, since you are worried, I'll pay for the food first."Arthur was a handsome guy. At this moment, he spoke to
Hearing someone shouting for help, Arthur quickly raised his head, and looked at the direction.A girl was being hugged by a man. Her pretty face was filled with panic and confusion. She kept shaking her head and saying. "I don't know him."The man holding the girl looked like a ferocious thug. He glared at the onlookers fiercely and said. "She's my wife. We are having an argument. Go away, or do you want to get beaten?"Some people who wanted to help the girl took two steps back in fear when they saw the man's wolf-like eyes.Seeing the girl being pulled into the van, Arthur felt something was wrong, so he stepped forward to stop the man: "Hey, leave her alone. If she doesn't want to go with you, why are you forcing her?""Mind your own business." The man looked at Arthur warily and hugged the girl's neck even tighter. "This is between husband and wife, why do you have to.get involved?"The girl had been desperate, but when she saw Arthur coming to help, hope reappeared in her eyes,
When Arthur opened the door, the landlady appeared stoic in front of him. It was clearly her who would knock on the door this late in the night, but when she saw Arthur open the door, she became unhappy. "Why are you leaving the lights on in the middle of the night, don't you electricity cost money?"If it was before, Arthur might have tolerated it and kept quiet, but now he directly hit back. "I pay for my electricity myself, it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, why are you disturbing me in the middle of the night, Mrs. Robinson?"The landlady was already used to Arthur's timidity, and now that she was scolded, she was stunned for a moment. But she quickly came to her senses and replied. "Oh, you're mouthy now. Okay, I'm here to collect my rent. If you don't pay, I won't let you live here anymore.""The rent is not due till tomorrow, why do you want to collect it today?" Arthur was angry. "Why are you trying to embarrass me this night, Mrs. Robinson?"The landlady sneered, her smal
