Henry checked the invitation card over and over again. Exception for the exhibit of wealth, nothing special about it.
"Heh, that's it."
Henry tossed the card aside and fell asleep.
Without a thing to worry about, Henry had a wonderful night of sleep. At ten o'clock in the morning, he was waked up by his cell phone.
Henry opened his sleepy eyes and answered the call.
"Hello, Secretary Lee."
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, something wrong has happened here in the company. We can't find President Lin, so I hope that you can help us."
Henry could tell from Secretary Lee's tone of voice that she was anxious.
"No problem, I'll be there in a minute."
Henry quickly got up and washed up. He realized that since Sylvia was away, he might not be able to enjoy some leisure after all. Someone had to be in charge of the company.
There were important decisions no one could make except for the president. It would be a dangerous sign if the senior management started making important decisions without Sylvia.
Henry shaved and got changed. He still had the look of a young man. But his experience had made his disposition appeared to be much mature, which distinguished Henry from all the other inexperienced young men.
What Henry had been through gave him confidence and calmness in front of great crisis.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Henry smiled, "I haven't been living this part of life for a very long time. I don't know if I am still up for the business world."
Henry checked up how he looked in the mirror and then put on a watch. Sylvia had set up a business attire for Henry. At this moment, Henry indeed looked like a successful businessman.
He straightened his tie and tidied up his look. Henry then grabbed the car key and stepped out. After standing in front of an opened door for a couple of seconds, he went back in and shut the door.
And then there was a knocking sound.
Ranjeet's voice was heard from outside of the door, "Brother! I finally found you!"
Henry regretted that he ever talked to Ranjeet the night before. Why didn't he just left that man in the
ATM booth?
The knocking sound still didn't stop.
Henry took a deep breath. He clenched fists to encourage himself to take action.
The moment Henry opened up the door, Ranjeet threw himself onto Henry.
Henry had prepared for this. He had a broom in his hand. So when Ranjeet came onto Henry, Henry pushed Ranjeet more than a meter away from himself by poking on Ranjeet's head with the broom handle.
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
Henry bent his body in a position that was easy for him to run away from Ranjeet.
Ranjeet didn't care that his head was against a broom handle. He said to Henry seriously, "Brother, I want to learn how to make money with you."
"Make money?"
Henry's face was full of curiosity.
"Yes sir!"
Ranjeet nodded hard. He said, "This morning, I heard that you own that hotel. I want to build a hotel in my hometown. I love pooping sitting down. The bed is also very comfortable. I want the people from my village to enjoy all of it."
Henry looked at Ranjeet with suspicion and asked, "That's it?"
"And..." A wretched expression showed up on Ranjeet's face, "I want those beautiful girls working in your hotel to live in my village. Yesterday, someone told me that as long as I have money, I can have any girl I want. Brother, I want to be rich."
