After dealing with his mother-in-law's troubles, she took the cash and happily went to the bank to deposit it.
Jas Ye then went straight ho.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife Mary Xiao's shoes at the entrance, indicating she was already ho, so he headed directly to the bedroom.
Upon entering the bedroom, he saw Mary just hanging up the phone, her face full of joy and excitent.
Curious, he asked, "Honey, who were you talking to just now?"
Mary excitedly replied, "It was my bestie, Linda Dong! Do you rember her?"
"Of course," Jas nodded, "She used to go to university in Jinling with you and you were quite close. Isn't she the daughter of a prominent family in Yanjing?"
"Yes," Mary said, "The Dong family is quite influential in Yanjing."
Jas smiled and asked, "So, is she coming to Jinling to visit you?"
Mary said, "Not just to visit , she's coming to work in Jinling!"
Jas asked in confusion, "Why would a daughter of a prominent family in Yanjing co all the way to Jinling for a job instead of managing her own family's business?"
Mary said, "I'm not really sure either. She said she's coming to work at Dihao Group, but I don't know why she would co all the way to Dihao."
Jas nodded but thought to himself: Although the Dong family is far inferior to the Ye family, they still have so influence in Yanjing. Linda Dong has no need to give up her family's business to work at Dihao Group.
Could there be so special reason for her to join Dihao Group?
Jas was puzzled but couldn't figure it out at the mont.
It seed he would have to wait until Linda Dong joined Dihao Group and then have Margaret Wang investigate her thoroughly.
At this mont, Mary seed to rember sothing and patted her forehead, saying, "Oh, Jas, I have a eting with people from Dihao Group tomorrow and can't get away. Can you go to the airport to pick up Linda and arrange a welco dinner for her?"
Jas agreed, "I'll make arrangents for tomorrow."
Mary added, "Make sure to find a nice place, don't worry about the cost. Use my bank card."
She was about to hand him her wallet when Jas quickly said, "No need, I know soone who runs a pretty good restaurant. I'll take care of it."
With that, Jas took out his phone, intending to send a ssage to Charles Chen at Buckingham Palace to arrange a banquet.
But then he thought, Buckingham Palace is a surprise for his wife, so it would be better to choose another place to entertain Linda Dong.
So he sent a ssage to Lord Hong instead.
"I need to host a dinner for a friend. Can you arrange a high-end hotel, but not Buckingham Palace?"
Soon, Lord Hong replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Ye. I have a top-notch restaurant called Tianxiang Mansion, on par with Buckingham Palace in Jinling. I'll arrange the best diamond suite and the finest banquet for you tomorrow."
Jas replied with a single word, "Okay."
...
The next day, Mary spent the entire day at Dihao Group, busy handling cooperation-related matters.
Jas called Margaret Wang, the Vice Chairman of Dihao Group, to inquire about Linda Dong's upcoming employnt.
Margaret was surprised that Jas knew about it. She said Linda Dong had applied for the position of Administrative Director, a mid-level managent role. The group found her resu impressive and decided to hire her, with her start date set for a few days later.
Jas then instructed her to keep an eye on Linda Dong after she joined and report any unusual activities to him imdiately.
After arranging things with Margaret, Jas took a taxi to the airport in the afternoon to pick up Mary's bestie, Linda Dong.
As he arrived at the airport and was about to head to the arrivals hall, a rcedes-Benz G-Class suddenly screeched to a halt in front of him.
Robert Xiao, Mary's cousin, stuck his head out of the window, frowning at Jas and asked, "Jas, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to pick up one of Mary's friends. What about you guys?"
Jas frowned, noticing that the car was filled with familiar faces, including Robert Xiao, Daniel Wang, and Barbara Xiao.
Robert sneered, "You an Miss Dong? We’re here to take care of her, so you can leave!"
Jas snorted coldly, "If you want to leave, go ahead yourself."
With that, Jas ignored them and walked straight into the arrivals hall.
Robert was about to curse when Barbara quickly reminded him, "Brother, Miss Dong is about to arrive. Grandma reminded you to make a good impression on her! If you can make her your girlfriend, your status in our family will be unmatched. Don’t stoop to that loser’s level."
Robert imdiately snapped out of it.
He almost forgot the main purpose of coming today.
In fact, welcoming Linda Dong was secondary; making a good impression and winning her over was the primary goal.
The Dong family had significant influence in Yanjing. If he could get together with her, he would rise to great heights, and the Xiao family would also benefit greatly.
So, he suppressed his displeasure towards Jas and hurriedly led everyone out of the car towards the arrivals hall.
At this mont, a particularly striking, young, and beautiful woman appeared in the crowd.
She had long chestnut hair, wore a white suit that accentuated her curvaceous figure, and despite wearing sunglasses, her porcelain-white skin and fiery red lips couldn't hide her stunning beauty.
Upon closer inspection, her looks were no less impressive than Mary's, each having their own unique charm.
For a mont, the eyes of the crowd waiting outside the arrivals hall were all focused on her.
Robert was already srized.
Even Daniel Wang, who had co along for the fun, couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder she's a lady from a prominent family in Yanjing; her aura is indeed different."
At this mont, Linda Dong also saw them and quickly walked over, waving her hand and saying, "Robert, Barbara, and Jas, long ti no see!"
Robert felt a surge of excitent and quickly said, "Long ti no see, Linda. You’ve beco even more beautiful."
Jas smiled and also said, "Long ti no see."
Robert then hurriedly said, "Linda, knowing you were coming, I booked a private room at the best hotel in Jinling to welco you. Let's head over there now."
Linda glanced at Jas and apologized to Robert, "Robert, I'm really sorry. I already made plans with Mary and Jas. Let's reschedule. I'll be in Jinling for a long ti, so there will be plenty of opportunities."
Hearing this, Robert felt a surge of anger. On such an important day, this loser Jas had to ss things up. It was infuriating.
So he deliberately said, "Linda, to welco you, I booked a room at Tianxiang Mansion, the most famous restaurant in Jinling, with a minimum spend of 300,000! I wonder where my live-in brother-in-law has booked? If it's too low-end, wouldn't that be disrespectful to you?"
