158: Chapter 158 Domineering Host 158: Chapter 158 Domineering Host Helen Wilson investigated Gina Lopez’s information the next day and indeed found out she had a twin sister, Emily Lopez, who closely resembled Gina.
If one only looked at their IDs, it would be impossible to tell who was who.
This completely dispelled Helen’s suspicions about Jas Brown, but for so reason, she still felt annoyed whenever she looked at him.
The bastard was so good at fighting, and he had tangled with her for so long that day.
If that wasn’t taking advantage of her, what was?
But that alone did not constitute a cri, and even if it did, she couldn’t arrest Jas Brown just for that; it would be too embarrassing for her.
However, Helen dropped her thoughts about Jas Brown soon after, as she was secretly working on a big case.
The case was widely connected and had powerful backers.
Without sufficient evidence, she couldn’t do anything to the suspects, so she continued to gather evidence against them.
Even when working on this, she didn’t inform her colleagues, operating secretly on her own.
The reason was simple: her promotion to deputy chief was thanks to that Mysterious Figure, which made her uneasy.
She was now pursuing a big case on her own to prove to everyone in the Public Security System that she was competent—not just relying on the Mysterious Figure.
While Helen was busy, Jas Brown was also busy on his side.
He was supposed to have a date with lody Yoody the previous night, but she had to attend a banquet after receiving an unexpected call, and their date had to be canceled.
During the day, Jas Brown was busy with company matters alongside Gina Lopez and Sunny Nguyen.
Gina had brought out a draft for the formation of the company the previous night, and Sunny had made an extensive financial plan.
The redness in their eyes showed they had not slept much, yet their spirits were incredibly high, showing no signs of fatigue.
“Jas Brown, it’s your job to call in the people from JYPP Region who are interested in joining our company,” said Gina Lopez, assigning him a task quite directly.
In fact, she didn’t really treat Jas Brown as the president, so when she ordered him to do sothing, it felt effortless.
Jas Brown agreed cheerfully.
Compared to other tasks, he felt more at ease with this one.
Returning to the president’s office, Jas Brown imdiately called Sarah Utah.
“Big Brother Brown, have you sorted out the company’s issues?” Sarah Utah asked urgently as soon as she spoke.
Jas Brown chuckled, “Yes, everything is settled.
I’m calling to ask if you can start work imdiately.”
“Start work right away?
So soon?” Sarah Utah exclaid in surprise.
“Yes, there aren’t many people in the company yet; even I’m swamped.
Please co and help out quickly.”
“Alright, where’s the office?
I’ll head over right now,” Sarah Utah replied imdiately.
Jas Brown gave her the address of J Corporation and hung up.
After that, he made calls to the colleagues who had left JYPP Region Company the day before, reaching out to each of them.
As soon as Jas Brown finished his calls, Sarah Utah had already arrived at the company.
Jas Brown, Gina Lopez, and Sunny Nguyen had agreed that he would now manage the HR departnt, his main responsibility being to recruit employees.
The temporary office for the HR departnt was on the fifth floor.
When Sarah Utah entered and saw Jas Brown’s spacious office and him sitting behind the desk, looking authoritative, she squinted her eyes and said with a smile, “Big Brother Brown, you’re looking pretty impressive, already the manager of the HR departnt now?”
Jas Brown stood up, smiling, “What HR manager am I?
Right now, I’m more like the commander here.
Isn’t that why we imdiately need your help?”
“Sure, I knew Mr.
Lopez and Big Brother Brown would make it work.
Seeing the scale of this company fills with confidence.”
Waving Sarah Utah to a seat, Jas Brown said, “You know, our company looks big, but it’s quite empty on the inside.
Now that you’re here, I’m considering which departnt to put you in charge of.”
“In charge?” Sarah Utah startled and looked at Jas Brown with uncertainty.
“Yes, in charge.
We have so many departnts, those of you who are here first need to be assigned a position to start preparing for your respective departnt’s tasks.”
“Big Brother Brown, I…
I’m not sure I can do it,” stuttered Sarah Utah, clearly intimidated by the unexpected heavy responsibility placed on her in a new company, unprepared ntally.
“Ha, you see even a driver can sit here, so of course, you can too.
Besides, it’s definitely temporary at the mont.
After working for a while, we will see everyone’s abilities.
Capable ones will stay or get promoted, and those who are not up to the task will face demotion.
However, the company won’t let down those who join us in these early tis— even if your position is lowered, your salary and benefits will still be good.”
After a mont’s hesitation, Sarah Utah nodded decisively, “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
“Ha, I believe you’ll succeed.”
Sarah’s smile was sowhat strained, honestly, her confidence wasn’t all that high at the mont.
Subsequently, ten people arrived at the company, all from JYPP Region.
Jas Brown repeated to them what he told Sarah Utah.
However, since he didn’t know these people very well, he wasn’t as forthcoming as he had been with her, yet, the terms he offered were generous enough to assure them a comfortable working environnt.
Gina Lopez and Sunny Nguyen, after finishing their morning tasks, specifically set up a eting to et with everyone.
Gina, true to her role as CEO, detailed the company’s vision to everyone, then turned the current difficulties into opportunities and challenges.
This imdiately boosted everyone’s enthusiasm—an effect Jas Brown simply couldn’t achieve.
Of course, Gina also offered everyone excellent compensation.
Not only were the salaries higher than at JYPP Region Company, but there was also a range of benefits that further excited everyone.
They felt that switching jobs this ti was truly justified.
At noon, everyone gathered for a al at a hotel, not drinking alcohol, but the mood was still very high.
All young and full of ideas and drive, they had greatly admired Gina while at JYPP Region Company and had taken her as a role model.
At this point, Jas seed sowhat low-spirited.
When it ca to company managent, he was not up to par.
Most of what they said he scarcely understood, but he didn’t mind.
He didn’t want to live a taxing life, and learning these things would only complicate his easygoing lifestyle.
In the afternoon, everyone was already imrsed in work, with almost each person responsible for a departnt, though it was just an empty title.
Jas quickly received the staff requirents and expectations from each departnt—their work efficiency was quite high.
Now as HR manager, the task of recruiting fell on him.
The next day, Jas went to the television station to arrange advertisents to recruit new people.
The advertising departnt was on the third floor.
As Jas walked up the stairs, he ran into Alice Brown at the second floor landing.
“Mr.
Smith, what brings you here?” Alice greeted him with surprise and delight.
Jas looked Alice up and down with a smile.
She was wearing a white half-sleeve sweatshirt with the top two buttons undone, revealing a large portion of skin and a tantalizing hint of cleavage, paired with a short skirt, glossy beige stockings, and black high heels—an absolute head-turner.
“I’m the manager of the HR departnt now, you know.
I’m here to place a couple of ads to recruit so people.”
Understanding imdiately, Alice gave Jas an apologetic smile and said, “Then let take you to the advertising departnt, Manager Johnson.”
“Thank you,” Jas replied, nodding with a smile.
“Mr…
Manager Johnson, have you been very busy these days?”
“Indeed, I’ve got my hands full.”
Alice chuckled lightly and asked, “Do you need help with anything?”
“I’m just about to recruit so people.
Once I hire a couple of pretty and capable secretaries, I’ll be able to relax.”
Alice seed disappointed by Jas’s polite decline and pouted her sensual lips, “Then I might as well beco your secretary.”
“You want to be my secretary?” Jas chuckled and said, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll take advantage of you?”
Alice giggled and replied, “Go ahead, I’m almost hoping you would.”
Amidst the laughter, they arrived at the advertising departnt.
With Alice’s assistance, the advertising deal was swiftly negotiated and the contract signed.
The ads could run that very night.
Alice escorted Jas all the way to the TV station’s main entrance before she stopped and asked, “Mr.
Smith, are you free tonight?”
Jas patted Alice on the shoulder and said, “I’ve got a girlfriend recently.”
Quick as always, Alice responded with a radiant smile, “You really are a good man, Mr.
Smith.
Once you have a girlfriend, you don’t play around.
That’s really different from those wealthy guys.
I truly envy your girlfriend.”
Jas laughed and said, “But we’re still friends.
If there’s anything you need help with in the future, I’m here for you.”
“Thank you, Mr.
Smith.” Alice imdiately bead with joy, and on an impulse, she planted a kiss on Jas’s cheek.
A kiss from a beautiful hostess could have been a delightful affair, but at that mont, Jas’s face turned dark because a woman had just stepped out of a black sports car, and it was none other than his first love, lody Yoody.
