Lawrence Winters quickly replied: No, no! My uncle bought this apartnt thinking it was a three-bedroom, but it can actually be considered a four-bedroom. It has three bedrooms and a study that was separated out. If you don’t mind, you can stay in the study.
She, her mom, and her uncle each need a bedroom, and the study that was separated out was once used by Nick Zeller as an office. It’s not small at all, about ten square ters.
Kenneth Osborne didn’t reply for a long ti.
Lawrence Winters couldn’t help but nudge him with her elbow, giving him a look to ask why he wasn’t replying.
Kenneth Osborne smiled slightly and replied: It’s fine, but you should discuss it with Aunt Win and Uncle Nick first to see what they think. If they agree, I’m going to pay rent, no rent no deal.
Lawrence Winters raised her eyebrows in delight and replied enthusiastically: Sure, sure, no problem! My mom and uncle will definitely agree! Just transfer the rent to , transfer six months first. Light a cigarette for the big boss.JPG.
Kenneth Osborne thought to himself, I knew you little money-grubber would only bite at the ntion of rent...
However, his face showed hesitation as he asked her: How much is the rent? Three thousand a month enough?
Three thousand a month, you could rent a one-bedroom in a good area of Capital City.
Lawrence Winters didn’t know the rental market, but she did know that three thousand a month for a bedroom was a great rate.
She quickly replied: More than enough. Big boss drink tea.JPG.
The two of them sat in the private room, both with their heads down, busy typing on their phones.
In the private room, Crazy Girl and Joyce Shaw started exchanging flirtatious glances while eating.
Blake Leaf kept looking at Sister Three Billion, seeing her glass empty, he refilled it for her and even gave her so of the dishes she liked to eat.
Sister Three Billion sotis would give him a dish in return, and he would smile broadly, clearly pleased.
As a result, no one noticed the actions of Kenneth Osborne and Lawrence Winters.
While he and Lawrence Winters were happily chatting, he suddenly noticed a call coming in.
Seeing it was a number he didn’t recognize, he didn’t plan to answer and let it ring out.
But the caller was persistent, unwilling to give up.
After the number called three tis, Kenneth Osborne went outside to answer it.
"Hello, who’s speaking?" he asked politely.
A woman’s voice with a bit of an accent asked him: "Is this Mr. Kenneth Osborne?"
Kenneth Osborne nodded, "Yes, who is this?"
"I’m Su Changfeng." The woman on the other end said bluntly, "I know you hired Blake Leaf to work for you?"
Kenneth Osborne: "..."
Isn’t this Blake Leaf’s real sister?
How dare she call him? Does she want him to terminate the employnt contract with Blake Leaf?
Kenneth Osborne was curious about how she would start the conversation.
He replied with a hum, laughingly saying: "Yes, he’s working for now. How did you know that?"
"Never mind how I know, I know your company isn’t big, it’s a Genesis Enterprise. If you terminate the employnt contract with Blake Leaf and sign a contract with to never hire him again, I’ll invest ten million in your company. —How about it? Your company has never had sales exceeding one or two million, ten million could sustain you for ten years."
Kenneth Osborne couldn’t help but laugh, "Ms., if you want to sign such a contract, you’d better first find out who our investors are. —Expecting to fire my employee for ten million and even give you company shares, are you still drunk?"
Su Changfeng didn’t expect Kenneth Osborne’s tone to be so strong, stunned she said: "I know your investor is SSA Private Equity. Haven’t you seen the news? If you don’t take my ten million, I guarantee no one else will ever invest in your company again. SSA Private Equity might be drafting docunts to withdraw their funds as we speak."
Kenneth Osborne frowned, confused, asked: "Our company is small, it never makes the news, what do you an?"
"Ha, I didn’t say your company made the news." Su Changfeng laughed, "I know your company deals in artificial intelligence. I knew from the mont you signed with Blake Leaf."
"It’s been months, and you just found now, you really have a lot of patience." Kenneth Osborne mocked her lightly, "If you have nothing else, I’m hanging up."
As he was about to hang up the phone, Su Changfeng interjected, saying: "It seems you really haven’t seen the news. Let tell you, Spencer Group’s artificial intelligence company just announced that they signed the famous Thomas Stewart as the Chief Technology Officer. It’s going crazy on Weibo, everyone is saying Thomas is the father of AI, and once he’s here, all those AI startups that scam investors are going to be blindsided. Your AI Vision Promise will be the first hit. Everyone’s predicting when SSA Private Equity will withdraw from your company."
After saying this, Su Changfeng laughed again: "Actually, SSA Private Equity hasn’t even invested in you yet, right? Your office rent and renovation money all ca from your own savings, didn’t they?"
Kenneth Osborne’s heart sank. His first thought was not about whether SSA Private Equity would withdraw their funds, but instead about his financial situation, which Su Changfeng seed to know very well.
Who told her?
Could it be Blake Leaf?
Kenneth Osborne imdiately ruled out Blake Leaf.
Even if Blake Leaf had a falling out with him, he would never collude with Su Changfeng, who had ruined his life.
This was a matter of principle; he and Su Changfeng were enemies.
Thinking back to how Su Changfeng said she knew about his signing with Blake Leaf from the start but hadn’t acted, Kenneth Osborne understood.
It must have been soone from their departnt who leaked the information, especially those student council leaders.
They have ways to probe the whereabouts of graduates and the motivation to liaise with external sponsors.
Su Changfeng could easily bribe the student council leaders of Blake Leaf’s departnt under the guise of a sponsor. It was so easy.
No wonder any company Blake Leaf signed with before was sabotaged.
Once Kenneth Osborne realized this, he wasn’t worried. He said calmly: "No need to worry yourself, I’m hanging up now."
He hung up the phone and imdiately blocked the number, not wanting any association with soone like Su Changfeng.
Then he opened Weibo, intending to check what was going on.
At this ti, Francis Johnson’s phone call ca in, too.
Kenneth Osborne quickly answered, imdiately asking: "President Zhao, is it about Thomas?"
