Charlie, Claire, and Loreen sat together at the same table. Clinton joined them and sat beside Loreen.
He asked Loreen with a wide smile as soon as he sat down, "Loreen, I heard that you've come to Aurous Hill to work for Emgrand Group, is that true?"
Loreen nodded. "Yes, I just started.”
Clinton smiled even wider. "What a coincidence! My dad is the deputy general manager of a department in Emgrand! I'll ask him to look after you at work." 3
Many people exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Clinton, your dad is the deputy general manager of Emgrand Group?" 1
"Yup!" Clinton nodded proudly. "He was promoted last year."
Someone quickly said in a flattering tone, "The annual salary of a deputy general manager must be several million dollars, right? That’s amazing! It's no wonder your family is so rich!"
Clinton laughed and said, "That's just the wages. My dad has quite a vast authority and a lot of side incomes. You guys must have heard about the luxurious hotel project from Emgrand Group, right? When the project is done, my dad can earn at least ten to twenty million." 3
A guy sitting opposite him hurriedly asked, "Clinton, I want to join Emgrand Group so badly but I never did get any news from them after submitting my resume several times. Could you please talk to your dad and see if he could perhaps make an internal recommendation?"
Clinton nodded and said casually, "Sure! Forward me your resume, I'll talk to my dad about it."
Charlie couldn't help but frown. He didn't know that Clinton's father held such a high position in Emgrand Group. It was quite surprising news.
This was getting more and more interesting. He would send Doris a message later, telling her to fire Clinton's father. 6
He asked tentatively, "Clinton, since your father is so powerful in Emgrand Group, why doesn't he get you i n?"
Clinton sneered disdainfully. "What the h*ll do you know, loser? If I join Emgrand Group, I can't hide my relationship with my father and people will keep their eyes on me every time. It's no fun." 3
Then, he shifted into a smug position and said, "So, it never crossed my mind to join the group. I own a company that supplies building materials now, so I can get a deal with the group through my dad and provide them building materials!" 2
"D*mn!” Someone exclaimed, "You must be making a lot of money by then?"
