Chapter 170 It's You
Report his name at Rosewood City.
Gary seemed very powerful, as if he ran the entire Rosewood City.
Jenny and Susan cheered in unison, "Gary, you're awesome."
James said indifferently, "Thanks for your kindness, but it's not necessary."
He also held Kaitlyn's hand, signaling her not to get angry.
"Oh, not necessary? You talk as if you have some skills?"
Seeing James holding Kaitlyn's hand, Gary showed a flash of anger in his eyes. Although he had a girlfriend, it didn't mean he had no ill intentions toward Kaitlyn.
"A son-in-law living with his wife's family like you, I can crush a hundred of you with one hand. If you weren't Kaitlyn's brother-in-law, you wouldn't even have the chance to drink at the same table as me."
"A man who leans on a woman but still has a temper, your mom really spoiled you."
He scolded unceremoniously, embarrassing James in public to make him realize his worth and leave.
He knew nothing about James and didn't want to know more. As long as he knew James was a son-in-law living with his wife's family, he considered him a useless person.
Any man with some ability and backbone wouldn't live with his wife's family and be looked down upon.
"Exactly, it's your honor that Gary is protecting you, and you say it's not necessary, what a joke."
"So ungrateful, you can only hide at home relying on a woman. You'd be taught a lesson as soon as you step into society."
"Only Gary has a good temper, if it were someone else, they would have slapped you already."
Jenny, Susan, and Fiona also despised James, disliking his calm and indifferent demeanor.
You know, those men who saw them, these beauties, all tried to please them.
So, James' detached attitude made them very disgusted and angry.
"Gary, what are you doing?" Kaitlyn's pretty face turned cold. "So what if my brother-in-law lives with his wife's family after marriage? Is he eating your food or spending your money? Is it necessary to mock him?"
Fiona and the others frowned slightly, not expecting Kaitlyn to defend James.
Gary's face looked even worse, and he disliked James even more.
"Kaitlyn, there's no need to get angry."
James took a sip of soda and looked at Gary and the others with a smile.
"I'm just a nobody, you don't need to pay attention to me."
Kaitlyn snorted, "My brother-in-law is just down on his luck now, it doesn't mean he can't succeed in the future. After all, he graduated from a prestigious university."
Seeing Kaitlyn unhappy, Susan spoke to ease the atmosphere, "Alright, let's not argue about this, let's drink. Albert, go get a good bottle of wine."
She nodded toward someone.
The person called Albert nodded and walked toward the bar.
"Nowadays, what's the use of a degree?" Gary snorted indifferently, "Even graduates from prestigious universities end up selling pork. Even if they find a good job, they can't compare to us."
"Take you, Kaitlyn, studying abroad costs a million dollars a year. Can your brother-in-law earn that much in his lifetime?"
He provocatively looked at James and asked, "Kid, am I right?"
Anyway, Kaitlyn needed something from them tonight, so he wasn't worried about having a conflict with her.
James didn't want Kaitlyn to be in a difficult position, so he smiled and said, "You're right, I'm useless, I'm a failure."
"Gary, don't waste time on this loser. Come on, let's drink."
Jenny giggled, picking up a bottle to drink with Gary.
Fiona and the others also drank with Gary, constantly acting coquettishly, asking Gary to take care of them and give them good clients in the future.
Gary, as the PR manager, could slightly tilt resources to increase Fiona and the others' income, so he was highly valued.
Surrounded by admirers, Gary was in a good mood and invited a few friends to drink together.
The atmosphere was lively.
Then, they pulled Kaitlyn to join them, intentionally making her drink.
Brandy, beer, and red wine were mixed together.
Susan occasionally glanced at the bar, wondering why Albert hadn't returned with the good wine.
Although Kaitlyn tried her best to refuse, she couldn't resist the persuasion and had to drink one glass after another.
James noticed the evil glint in Gary and the others' eyes.
Clearly, they had intentions toward Kaitlyn, which was why they instinctively rejected James, an outsider.
James tried to stop them several times, but Kaitlyn waved her hand, indicating it was fine.
"Come on, Kaitlyn, I got some information for you." After drinking some wine, Gary smiled mysteriously. "Your resume is good, just lacks some experience."
"But don't worry, I know the HR department well. I'll put in a good word for you for the interview the day after tomorrow, and you'll definitely get into BH Pharmaceuticals."
"I'll tell you a secret, BH Pharmaceuticals is planning something big. They not only acquired Overlord Pharmaceutical but also developed a new product."
"The product name is confidential for now, but the R&D department says it's very effective. Once it's out, it will dominate the high-end market."
"If you get into BH Pharmaceuticals, the company will soar, and you'll make a lot of money."
While speaking, Albert finally returned with a bottle of brandy, a lewd smile on his face as if he had gained some advantage.
Susan complained, "Why did you take so long? We've been waiting for this wine."
Kaitlyn had just put down her glass when Gary opened the brandy, poured her a drink, and then raised his glass with a smile.
"Come on, Kaitlyn, here's to your good luck."
Kaitlyn waved her hand repeatedly. "Gary, I can't, I've had enough, I really can't drink anymore."
Gary's face was expressionless. "What's the big deal? It's just a few drinks."
"Fine, if you can't drink much, we won't drink more. Just finish this bottle of brandy, and we'll stop, okay?"
"I've already raised my glass, you can't make me put it down, right?"
"And this is brandy from Burgundy, worth tens of thousands of dollars a bottle. It won't taste good if we cap it again."
"Kaitlyn, my friends are watching. If you don't give me face, I'll be embarrassed."
He raised his glass high.
Jenny and the other two women, along with Gary's companions, egged her on.
"Kaitlyn, it's okay, just one more drink."
"You're about to become the assistant to the president. How can you not practice your drinking capacity?"
"Don't worry, we're watching you. Even if you get drunk, it's fine."
James frowned slightly.
"Kaitlyn, come on, drink this glass, and in the future at BH Pharmaceuticals, in Rosewood City, I'll protect you."
Gary patted his chest, acting as if his slightest move could shake Rosewood City, then deliberately lowered his voice. "I can even decide right now that the assistant to the president will be you."
"I'm very close with Ms. Green, we have a life-and-death friendship. The first assistant to the president, Kelsey Knoll, was appointed because of me."
Hearing this, Jenny and Fiona exclaimed in surprise.
Their eyes were full of admiration. "Gary, your connections are amazing."
Kaitlyn was also stunned. 'Gary is so powerful? He can appoint the first assistant to the president?'
Although they were all assistants to the president, adding the word "first" meant being a high-level, core person, Ms. Green's liaison, and in charge of the assistant department.
"What else?" Gary reeked of alcohol. "If it weren't for my recommendation, how could a girl become Ms. Green's right-hand person?"
