The Last Voyage

Chapter 5: Money

Kent saw this car and frowned because he knew who the owner of this car was.

Just as Kent thought, the person getting out of the car was a middle-aged man, he was David, the general manager of the company that Kent used to work for.

David saw Kent give Kent a heartwarming smile that reminded Kent of five years ago, David had smiled the same way at Kent.

At that time Kent had just graduated from university, so it was very difficult to find a job. Although Kent graduated with honors, he was an orphan, without parents, did not have much money, and did not know people with great positions, so it was very difficult to get a good job.

That's when David texted Kent.

Not in the interview room for new hires, but online. That's right, knowing that Kent holds a large amount of Scoin, he wants to get acquainted with Kent.

Knowing Kent was looking for a stable job, David immediately brought Kent into his company to work without interviewing or going through anyone.

Kent then understood the importance of Scoin, no, how important Scoin was to the market at that time and also understood why David knew that Kent had 1,000 Scoin and invited Kent to work.

Anyway, David's company at that time also started to invest in Scoin, but after 2 years the price of Scoin from 5 Dollars increased to 10,000 Dollars, so Kent immediately knew what David was thinking.

David thought that if he held Kent in his hand, it would be equivalent to holding 1,000 Scoin, if the price of Scoin increased, the better, if the price of Scoin lowered, David would only spend money on an ordinary worker at most.

However, Scoin's price increased day by day, surpassing the limits of David's knowledge. At that time, in David's eyes, Kent was no different from a fake millionaire who worked as an employee for others.

When Scoin peaked at $70,000 a Scoin, David was figuring out how to buy the Scoin Kent was holding. Not thinking about the reason why the price of Scoin dropped so quickly.

When the flashback ends, Kent sees that David's heart-pleasing face is also devoid of any sympathy. Although Kent was brought into the company by David without any approval from the human resources department, Kent still worked very hard.

Even Kent's work results are always superior to many. Kent told himself that he was not ashamed of himself, devoted himself to the company, now leaving nothing will make David unhappy with him.

Kent watched as David pulled a man in a white suit with a swollen face from the car, it was Steve. Even though it's been a few hours, Steve still doesn't seem to be fully awake, his face still surprised.

Steve was dragged by David to the ground, looking around in bewilderment. Without waiting for Steve to say a word, David directed Kent to explain: “Sorry! My son, who only knows how to play, doesn't know anything about business, and doesn't know anything about dealing with other people, so he caused such embarrassing things."

After saying that, David turned to slap Steve in the face and shouted: "Not yet apologizing to people."

Steve was hurt by the slap, but when he saw Kent looking at him so pathetic, Steve didn't want to say sorry. Steve gritted his teeth, extremely disgruntled. Steve thinks that he is the son of the CEO of a large company, so why should he kneel to apologize in front of an orphan without a father or mother.

Steve shut his mouth and said nothing, his face full of hatred looking at Kent. Kent saw that and looked at it indifferently, he himself did not have any emotions. Anyway, now in Kent's eyes everything is dust, wind blows and flies, not worth caring about.

David saw his son stubborn, disobeying him like that, making him extremely angry. It's also because he used to pamper Steve so much that Steve is so spoiled now. Blame David for being a father who doesn't teach his children to be human.

David was a little sad, sometimes he wished Kent was his son. Anyway, Kent is the same age as Steve, although he is an orphan, but Kent has a very good education, is an extremely diligent and responsible person.

Sometimes life doesn't turn out the way you want it to, and dreams don't come true.

Kent sighed, turned to David and said: "Mr David, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. I quit my job, I don't care about my grandfather's business."

When David heard that, he didn't know how to handle it properly. David is the general manager of a large company, of course, he knows the advantages and disadvantages of business. Although Kent is now out of work, he doesn't hold any Scoins, but that doesn't mean Kent doesn't have any value to draw.

Kent has sold more than 10,000 Scoin which means Kent is currently holding a huge amount of money, if he can entice Kent to invest that money in David's company, David can help the company prolong its existence. while the market economy faltered.

David based on the value of Scoin when Kent sold at 70,000 Dollars, Kent sold 10,000 Scoins, so Kent is holding at least 700,000,000 Dollars now. And yet, according to David, Kent also holds many cheap stocks bought a long time ago, now the value is also extremely high, if Kent sold all of it, the amount of money that kent has is up to billions of dollars.

A huge amount of money, enough for David to help his company survive the economic downturn and then thrive.

Therefore, what David is aiming for is the money that Kent is holding. In the face of absolute benefits, the so-called kinship or father-son relationship is useless, David just wants to develop the company.

In his heart, David thought: "If you can keep the company, even if you have to sacrifice Steve."

David thinks that it's a child anyway, if Steve dies, David will find another woman and give birth to another child. But if the company collapsed, he would definitely die, not to mention Steve, even if David himself was not sure how to live.

That's why, David is currently struggling to please Kent like this.

However, how does Steve know those things, his mind is only full of play and friends. In Steve's mind, Kent is just an orphan, without parents or social status, it is impossible for him to apologize to Kent. Steve's pride wouldn't allow him to do it himself.

Seeing Steve being so stubborn, David couldn't help but beat this kid to his senses. David blames himself, also because he himself thinks that if he has money, it is okay to let his children play for a bit, but this is too much.

Kent saw this scene and did not want to see more, he said: "You two stop acting, I have nothing to do with you anymore, Mr. David. We are completely done.”

David took a deep breath, trying to calm down. David took out a touch phone, unfolded something and showed it to Kent, David said: “The value of Scoin is plummeting.”

Kent smiled scornfully, he said: "What does that have to do with me?"

At this moment, the car that Kent ordered arrived, Kent hurried past David and Steve and got in the car, then closed the door and went away.

David watched Kent leave, he knew his company was going to die. Looking over at Steve stubbornly sitting on the ground, he angrily swung his leg and kicked Steve in the face.

Steve was suddenly kicked by his father, unable to resist, he was kicked in the car door and passed out. David got in the car and left, not caring about Steve's life or death.

Ann Reed drove a car that stopped not far away, she witnessed the whole process of David leading Steve to apologize to Kent. Ann Reed rested her head on the steering wheel, her eyes wet as if she wanted to cry.

Unexpectedly, the man she despised, whom she despised and abandoned, was now a powerful eagle. So powerful that David, the general manager of a giant company, had to personally bring Steve to apologize to Kent.

Not only that, at present, Kent has a preliminary amount of money up to billions of dollars. A huge amount of money, so huge that if converted into paper money, it could crush Ann Reed to death.

Ann Reed regrets, really regrets. She did not love Kent, at first she only found Kent to be a little gentle and easy to take advantage of, so when she first became acquainted with Kent, she relied on herself to be a bit beautiful, so she followed Kent's manager, Steve.

I thought life would be brighter if she followed Steve, but now it's different, all dreams have disappeared. Not only has Ann Reed lost her support as Steve, but now even Peter Kent is gone.

Having lost everything, Ann Reed is now left with nothing.

"No, impossible. I can't lose everything. Kent, you can't get out of my hands. Those things should be mine, the huge amount of money you have is supposed to serve me.”

Ann Reed is like a person who has lost her mind, only thinking about money in her mind. After learning that Kent was holding a huge amount of nearly a billion dollars, she completely ignored her integrity.

…

In the car, Kent looked at the street, very calm in his heart. Although he was holding more than a billion dollars in money, he still felt normal.

Why?

Because even if you have a billion dollars, you can't buy life, can't help Kent live longer.

Sometimes, no matter how much money you have, it's completely meaningless. Not everything can be bought with money.
