Chapter 398
"And also, when you got wasted, your rich friends hooked you up with a massive gift," Lauren added.
I perked up. "What kind of gift?"
Lauren smirked, "Why don't you check the messages in the company group?"
I whipped out my phone and started scrolling.
There were a bunch of agreements signed with big companies. People were already jumping on board with us.
A flood of messages made my head spin.
I almost dropped my phone.
I thought, 'Is this the big gift Connie was talking about? This gift is insane. In just one afternoon, the signed deals are worth seven or eight hundred million dollars! With our current resources, the profit margin is around forty percent. If we add our internal promotion channels, it bumps up to forty-two or forty-three percent. That's about three hundred million dollars in pure profit. This is nuts. WY Media Company is now almost on par with Skyliho Group.'
Skyliho Group took five or six years to get to where they are, and WY Media Company has been around for less than three months. Plus, Skyliho Group's development in Greenvale City has already tanked, losing the huge market there. They're definitely going to decline.
"What’s wrong? Are you freaked out?"
"A little bit." I nodded. "I didn't expect them to give me such a huge gift."
"They asked me to pass on a message to you," Lauren said. "No need for thanks. This is the least we can do. Do well, and we can have long-term cooperation in the future. Let's make money together!"
I was really touched. The things I fought for with my life didn't let me down.
What they said meant this wasn't a one-time thing. As long as we do well, we'll sign long-term contracts in the future.
With their support, WY Media Company will thrive in Greenvale City.
I thought for a moment and walked to the window to call them one by one to express my gratitude.
It took me almost two hours to make all the calls, and my throat was super dry.
Lauren walked over with concern. "Drink some water and rest for a while!"
I chugged a lot of water and felt much better. "I’ve finished making the calls."
I pulled her into a hug. "Have you been watching over me this whole time?"
It was only then that I realized my clothes had been changed, and there was no smell of alcohol on me.
"Yes." Lauren nodded.
I said, "You're not only beautiful but also very considerate and capable. I can't imagine being without you."
"I never thought of leaving unless you want me to."
Looking at her luscious red lips, I couldn't hold back and pounced on her.
Lauren said, "Why are you in such a hurry? We just had sex this morning."
"It's already evening now." I couldn't care less and started having sex with her again.
Lauren passively endured. "At this rate, I'll get pregnant sooner or later."
Hearing this, my blood boiled.
It lasted until nine o'clock before I was satisfied.
Lauren was already exhausted, her voice hoarse from shouting.
This beautiful woman was truly irresistible to me.
I said slightly, "Don't rush back. Stay here for a couple more days."
Lauren panted. "No, I had a reason to stay today, saying I was helping to entertain guests. If I stay longer, they'll definitely figure it out. Let me go back and rest for a few days, okay? You're wearing me out!"
I touched my nose, realizing I had indeed been a bit rough. "Alright then, once I wrap things up here in Greenvale City, I'll head back to Sevan City."
I kissed her on the lips. "When you get back, try to snag two pieces of land in Sevan City. I have plans for them."
"Are you thinking about getting into real estate?"
"You're so sharp!"
Talking to a smart and capable woman was such a breeze.
I had a decent amount of liquid cash on hand. Letting it just sit there would be a waste.
I thought, 'Real estate is a goldmine. We can turn WY Media Company into WY Media Company Real Estate. As long as we buy the land and get the pre-sale permits, the money will roll in fast.'
"But can we really pull it off?" Lauren looked worried. "I don't have any experience in that field, and don't you think you're expanding too quickly?"
I stroked her back. "I know, but opportunities won't wait. Sometimes you have to take risks to get rewards. I believe in you. But construction doesn't fully showcase your value and skills. Honestly, I want to keep you close, but I also want you to find your own path. Transform WY Media Company into WY Media Company Real Estate. I want you to become a powerhouse in the real estate industry!"
She hesitated. "But what if I fail?"
I comforted, "If I'm not scared of losing money, why should you be? Besides, WY Media Company and a few other ventures are already profitable. Even if WY Media Company Real Estate takes a hit, it won't sink the group."
Lauren finally agreed, "Alright, I'll give it a shot."
"Don't stress too much. If you hit a snag, hire someone. Get professionals to help us out." I had to admit Lauren was incredibly attractive when she was deep in thought.
Before long, I got excited again.
Since we were still close, she could definitely feel it.
She blushed immediately. "You're such a bad boy!"
Even though she said that she didn't push me away. Instead, she got more into it.
Just then, her phone rang, displaying: Edward!
I asked, "Aren't you going to answer Edward's call?"
"I don't want to!" Lauren said, "He never has anything good to say. It's either cheesy sweet talk or fake concern."
With that, she hung up the phone.
But after a while, the phone rang again. I grinned. "You should answer it. What if Edward has something urgent?"
She glared at me. "You think I don't know your sneaky intentions?"
I put on an innocent face, and she bit her lip. "Then be gentle!"
Then she answered the phone.
"Hello, Lauren, are you resting?" Edward's voice came through the phone, and a different kind of excitement surged through me. I flipped over, and Lauren almost cried out. She quickly covered her mouth, her eyes pleading.
"Lauren, what's wrong?"
She tried hard to stay calm.
Edward continued, "I came to Greenvale City. Aren't you in Greenvale City? I called John, but I couldn't get through. Is he okay?"
I thought, 'Edward came to Greenvale City?'
Lauren explained, "He drank a lot today. He probably hasn't woken up yet."
"No wonder he didn't answer the phone." Edward laughed. "Where are you? I'll come to find you!"
"Better not," Lauren said, trying hard to endure while dealing with Edward.
"Why?"
"I'm not feeling well!"
"What's wrong? Is it serious? Have you seen a doctor? Send me your location right now, and I'll come to you." Edward said anxiously on the phone.
"No need. Maybe I'm just too tired these past few days."
Her body suddenly tensed up, and I stopped. For about three or four seconds, she was speechless.
