Chapter 040: Charles's Emotional Intelligence is Too High
"Charles, next week is my birthday. I'd like to invite my close friends and some old high school classmates over for a birthday party here. I wonder if I can...?"
Jessica looked at Charles with flushed cheeks, seeking his opinion.
Although the villa was now under her name, it was Charles who had paid for it.
She wanted to hold a birthday party in the villa, so naturally, she needed to ask for Charles' opinion.
"So your birthday is coming up soon. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I should have prepared something in advance for you!"
Charles thought, 'Having a birthday party means I can use some Special Funds again, right?'
And giving gifts would be perfectly legitimate!
It would not only make Jessica happy but also allow him to spend more money—two birds with one stone!
Jessica felt that Charles was not only graceful but also cultured!
And his emotional intelligence was incredibly high!
When she asked if she could have a party at the villa, he immediately showed interest in her birthday.
He instantly focused on the key issue.
Women often have two layers of meaning when they speak.
If she asks you a question, that question itself might not be the main point.
What she really wants to convey might be her birthday, something she likes, or a place she wants to visit, and so on.
If a guy doesn't understand this and only focuses on the question itself,
she would call him an idiot and think that he lacks in emotional intelligence.
This is probably the key difference in thinking between men and women!
Charles was essentially an idiot too.
But his constant focus on spending more Special Funds accidentally aligned with Jessica's thoughts.
This made Jessica instinctively feel that Charles had exceptionally high emotional intelligence.
Being with him felt very comfortable and pleasant!
He was practically the perfect boyfriend.
He was handsome, wealthy, skilled, generous, considerate, gentlemanly, cultured, low-key, and had the demeanor of a dominant CEO.
Thinking about it this way, Charles had so many merits that Jessica almost lost her confidence in front of him!
Charles had no idea that Jessica would think of him this way.
He was used to be seen as a failure by others.
Not a single redeeming quality.
Even Lisa called him useless!
But ever since he got the money, it seemed like his past flaws had turned into strengths.
It turns out that when you have money, people praise everything you do!
"Brother Charles, there are still some of my personal belongings in this villa. I'll get a moving company to clear them out in the next couple of days. You might have to wait two or three days to move in. Sorry about that!"
Peter said apologetically.
"No problem, Peter. We're not in a hurry!"
Charles waved his hand.
"Actually, except for some stuff in the master bedroom, the guest rooms are still usable..."
"No, no, no. Just have your driver Jimmy take us back. By the way, Jimmy helped me out today. I need to thank him properly!"
Charles mentioned casually.
"Haha, Jimmy is my right-hand man. Next time, I'll give him a raise. Charles, if you ever need anything in Syeattel, just let me know. I'm always eager to make friends!"
Peter laughed heartily, having solved his financial difficulties.
He felt that Charles was someone worth befriending.
A wealthy young man who could easily come up with ten million dollars wasn't someone you could meet just anywhere.
Now that he had the opportunity to know him, he naturally wanted to build a good relationship with him.
If Charles ever introduced him to a business deal, it could make him a fortune.
In business, connections are crucial.
Peter had been in business for years and understood this well.
