Chapter 190
I thought, ‘What? At night?’
I quickly said, "Mis.Wilson, I'm afraid I can't make it at night. I have a dinner appointment."
"Did I mention a specific time?" Katherine asked in return.
"Um... no." I chuckled.
"At ten o'clock tonight, you have three hours for dinner, so should that be enough?"
"Should be enough!" I was also unsure.
"Whether it's enough or not, if you're not there by ten, I'll deduct a month's salary from you!"
I thought, ‘Damn, that's harsh.’
"Enough, definitely!"
"Good!"
She nodded. "Take me home!"
"Mis.Wilson, aren't you going back to the company?"
"Not going back."
I drove Katherine back to Bay No.1, and she said, "Come upstairs with me."
"Huh?"
"What are you standing there for?"
"Oh!" I followed her upstairs. She seemed off from the moment I picked her up at the hotel.
But I couldn't ask, of course!
Following her upstairs, she asked me to wait in the living room for a moment. Soon, she came back with a brand new and unopened suit in her hands. "Come to pick me up tonight. Wear this suit, and also, no drinking!"
Holding the suit downstairs, I was still puzzled. She gave me a ride and handed me a suit. Could it be that she wanted to keep me?
I didn't look like a driver. I was clearly more like a gigolo.
Instead of going back to Skyliho Group, I went straight to the BS Building.
By five-thirty, everyone else in the company had left, but Holly and her team were still there.
Grace was there planning, and Marry was waiting for me in my office.
"Why are you all still working overtime?"
Holly said, "Mr. Cena, we are integrating the resources we acquired today, preparing for visits and negotiations tomorrow and simulating scenarios. If all goes well, we should be able to exceed our targets in the next two days."
"Alright, if you can complete it in the next two days, I'll give you a big bonus!"
With such an excellent team, I couldn't find any reason not to reward them!
"Thank you, Mr. Cena!"
"Grace, why are you also working overtime?"
Grace gave me a soft look. "The company has just started. Many areas need improvement, so we have to work overtime."
"You've worked hard." I said, "Once this busy period is over, I will reward everyone."
"Thank you, boss." She blinked, and I understood her hint.
But Marry was there, so I didn't dare.
Entering the office, Marry was sitting on my chair, playing with her phone.
"Is Edward done with his work?" I asked.
"He should be here soon."
After more than ten minutes, Edward arrived. This was his first time coming to my company. "John, I didn't expect that in just a few days, you've achieved so much. Really impressive, much better than me."
"It's all thanks to the support of you." I was modest.
Edward patted my shoulder. "That's how it should be. Also, thank you for what you did today. Mr. Gonzalez and my family have a long-standing relationship. At the beginning of my business, he helped me a lot and saved me from many detours. His help got me through the initial stages."
"Edward, we're brothers. I just made a phone call, and it happened to be helpful."
"Do you know how many people Mr. Gonzalez asked for help and how many connections he made? Those are three production lines. Not to mention Sevan City, even nationwide, it would not be easy to handle for a while. Even if we placed an order from abroad, it would take three to four months." Edward said, "This is all because of you. If it were someone else, even if they had money, it wouldn't have worked. Anyway, I owe you a favor."
"Not at all. Helping each other among brothers is only natural." I added.
"You're right." Edward nodded in satisfaction.
I poured a glass of water for Edward, and he said, "I heard that a few days ago, you did a big favor for George?"
"Not a big favor. I just made a phone call."
He pointed at me and said with a smile, "You're too modest. Mr. Williams speaks highly of you. That's a good thing. The more people around you, the smoother the road will be. Maybe one day I'll need you to help me. It didn't take long for my words to come true."
"That's also because of your help, Edward." I continued.
"Alright, stop flattering me." Edward said, "You're capable indeed. Sometimes, being able to help others is a great skill!"
I smiled and said nothing. Marry said, "Alright, you two stop flattering each other. Mr. Gonzalez sent a message urging us to come over."
"Then let's go!"
The three of us took Edward’s Bentley to the Palace of Sevan City.
In the luxurious private room, Mr. Gonzalez was already sitting there waiting, with two young men beside him, who bore a striking resemblance to Mr. Gonzalez.
"Mr. Gonzalez!" We greeted.
Mr. Gonzalez stood up. "Please sit down!"
"Oh, Shane and Sam are here too?" Edward held my hand and introduced, "John, these two are Mr. Gonzalez's twin sons, Shane Gonzalez and Sam Gonzalez."
"Shane, Sam, this is John Cena, my good brother!"
"Hello!" After shaking hands, Shane said, "John, you've helped our family a lot. If there's anything you need in the future, just let us know!"
Sam also said, "That's right, anyone who can be friends with Edward is talented!"
I glanced at the two brothers, who looked cheerful and spoke nicely. No one could refuse to be friends with them.
Mr. Gonzalez smiled, "John, although my sons don't have much talent, they are loyal. You should get to know them more in the future!"
The atmosphere was harmonious, especially since we were all from the younger generation. There was no barrier in our conversation.
By the end of the meeting, Mr. Gonzalez didn't say much, but I got to know his two sons better.
Mr. Gonzalez took out a stack of cash. "Here, John, this is a token of my appreciation."
"Mr. Gonzalez, this..." I was surprised.
"This is what you deserve, take it!" Mr. Gonzalez forcefully stuffed the cash into my pocket.
Shane and Sam also said, "John, just take it."
Edward said, "John, Mr. Gonzalez's appreciation is sincere. It's not polite to refuse."
With that, I couldn't refuse. "Then I'll accept it."
After accepting the money, we chatted for another half an hour before leaving.
Mr. Gonzalez was very polite and even wanted to invite me out.
But I had to pick up Katherine after ten o'clock, so I had to decline politely.
