Chapter 116 This Person Looks Like William
Jesse hadn't finished speaking when he met William's cold gaze.
He immediately changed his tone and said, "It's nothing. Enjoy your meal."
The room was filled with various discussions instantly, all talking about who had such a big influence to make the manager of Victory Grand Hotel personally deliver wine.
"Who is it? Does anyone know this manager?" One asked.
This was a bottle of wine worth tens of thousands, and they sent three bottles at once!
Everyone was speculating about who had such a big influence.
Of course, no one would look at William. How could a loser like him have any influence?
Jesse and William exchanged glances. Luckily, Jesse was quick-witted. Otherwise, if he had exposed Mr. Jones's identity, he would have been kicked out of Victory Grand Hotel.
Earlier, when Jesse was in the manager's office, the receptionist ran in saying Mr. Jones had arrived.
He came down and selected a few bottles of fine wine immediately, just to make William happy and to show off.
Unexpectedly, it almost backfired.
Jesse, being smart, quietly exited the room as everyone continued to speculate.
"Wow! Who has such a big influence? Quickly take a picture and post it on Facebook. This is Peter's Estate wine, something most people can't even drink!" Several girls excitedly waved their hands and took out their phones to snap pictures.
"I think the manager must have come because of Stanley's influence," Walter said with a smile.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, at this table, probably only Stanley has that kind of influence."
"Stanley, you know the manager of Victory Grand Hotel and didn't tell us. Is this a surprise for us?"
"Stanley, you're so generous!"
A group of people eagerly flattered him.
Stanley was quite puzzled. He didn't know any manager from Victory Grand Hotel, but he couldn't tell them the truth. So he forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, as long as everyone is happy. If it's not enough, I'll ask Jesse to send a few more bottles."
Since he was already pretending, he wasn't afraid to go a bit further.
Everyone looked at him with admiration and said, "Stanley, you're amazing! We have to stick with you from now on!"
Lori's eyes were now full of Stanley who was more and more attractive. She wanted to have him all to herself.
She had to get this man.
To that end, Lori went to the bathroom and took off her underwear to make things easier for what she planned next.
When she returned to the room, she sat next to Stanley, intentionally touching him with her foot and hand, so as to tease him to the point where he couldn't resist.
Especially for someone like Stanley, who often went to nightclubs, he could tell with a glance that Lori wasn't wearing anything underneath. He smiled and clinked glasses with her.
Under the table, their hands touched, and their feet intertwined, filled with flirtation.
The atmosphere was just right.
Lori then asked, "William, what's the name of your company? How much do you make in a year? Why don't you close it and come work for Stanley?"
Lori now looked down on William from the bottom of her heart.
‘Does he think he is really something just because he married Mary? He is still a loser.’ Lori pondered.
Lori's words were intentional. In her mind, no matter how capable William was, his small company couldn't be better than Stanley's.
Stanley's business had a monthly turnover of hundreds of thousands.
So, as soon as Lori spoke, everyone's eyes in the room locked onto William, with various looks of disdain.
Stanley also raised his eyebrows and looked over.
He frowned and asked with a sneer, "William, you are running a company? Why didn't you mention it earlier?"
William calmly replied, "I'm not as great as you."
In fact, William was afraid that if he mentioned it, Stanley and the others would be embarrassed to death.
Today, William had casually invested four million into his company for expansion.
He deeply despised these hypocritical people.
These people couldn't stop talking about him, only to humiliate and belittle him.
‘Is it what they call friendship?’ William thought.
Stanley chuckled, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What kind of company? Tell us, maybe we can find an opportunity to collaborate."
‘How can this guy run a company? What a joke!’ Stanley wondered.
William answered truthfully, "It's about food delivery service. I own some shares, but it's nothing much."
Stanley frowned and said, "Oh, I see. No wonder you don't think much of my side. Well, as long as everyone is doing well, I'm happy. Here's to your success. May your company expand nationwide."
After saying that, Stanley suggested everyone have a toast.
Everyone drank, but they all felt uncomfortable.
William they were mocking turned out to have a small company.
Even if William just had shares, it was still better than working for someone else.
As soon as they sat down, Stanley couldn't wait to ask, "By the way, what's your company's name? I'll ask around later. Maybe my company can collaborate with yours. You could handle my employees' lunches or something."
William nodded and replied, "QuickLegs Delivery."
After he said that, everyone fell silent, showing no enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, everyone was busy flattering Stanley.
After all, he was the main focus today.
A company operated by William must be a small one.
Compared to Stanley, it was nothing.
What could they expect from a food delivery company?
William ate his food quietly. If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have come.
It was all about watching Stanley show off, so boring.
After they had almost finished eating, Stanley and Lori went out together, saying they had something to do.
But everyone in the room understood that they were probably going to get more intimate.
Ten minutes later, Stanley returned to the room looking satisfied.
Lori came back a bit later, her face flushed, and her clothes noticeably wrinkled.
After they returned, they were inseparable.
No one said anything but they all understood.
Only Amy was very angry, not expecting to be beaten to the punch.
Soon, the room was filled with smoke. Stanley, a bit drunk, threw his keys to the Audi R8 on the table and said, "I've had this car for over half a year and don't want to drive it anymore. If anyone wants it, you can have it for half price. I'm planning to get a Ferrari by the end of the year."
"Wow! Stanley, you're so impressive! A Ferrari?!"
"Rich people are so capricious!"
A burst of flattering was heard again.
Stanley shook his head and smiled. "The money earned is for enjoyment. Besides, driving a Ferrari is so cool."
"Stanley, you're amazing! Take us for a visit when you get it."
Stanley laughed. "Sure, no problem."
Lori stared at Stanley even more intensely, thinking she had made the right choice.
A Ferrari was over two hundred thousand dollars for one!
At that moment, someone suddenly interrupted.
"Wow! Look at this trending topic. Someone is delivering food on a BMW motorcycle." Someone said in surprise.
Stanley was stunned, shook his head, and laughed. "That's just for show. It's a common marketing tactic. Once the name is out there, business will increase. But I think these delivery companies should focus on pricing to attract more customers. Of course, it could also be BMW's marketing strategy."
Just as Stanley was talking, the person continued, "Stanley, no. It looks like this company bought a hundred BMW motorcycles!"
"How many?!" Everyone was shocked!
A hundred BMW motorcycles would cost at least a million dollars!
At this point, the person handed over their phone, showing a video taken by an employee at the BMW dealership. It was said that the company bought the motorcycles to speed up deliveries.
Everyone gathered around, looking at each other in disbelief.
That was a lot of money.
A few days ago, they saw some BMW motorcycles delivering food and thought it was just a novelty.
Today, it turned out to be trending.
Yes, this was William's first investment project, promoting and marketing by trending topics!
‘A delivery company?’ Everyone was puzzled and turned to look at William. He was the only one in the room involved in food delivery.
‘Could it be his company? A hundred BMW motorcycles! Could William's company be that wealthy?’ They were lost in thoughts.
Lori even started to feel a bit tempted.
The video was shaky and taken from a distance, clearly a candid shot.
Suddenly, Lori covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Look, doesn't that person look a lot like William?"
