Chapter 539: Chapter 551: Change Your Husband
Entering the hall, when the old comrades t, the atmosphere was extraordinarily warm. The feelings between comrades are definitely different from those t through work, more genuine, and more worth rembering.
John Brown and Gina Lopez, along with Emily Lopez, went to et these elders first, and then gathered with so young people.
This ti there were eight old comrades who ca, and except for two who did not bring their families, the other six brought their families. The younger generation was about the sa age, but only Gina Lopez was married, and there was just one child.
Among these people, other than Helen Wilson and the Lopez sisters being female, the other four young people were male. They had never t the Lopez sisters or Helen Wilson before, and upon seeing these three beautiful won, they couldn’t help but stare blankly for a mont.
William Robinson, who started a small business and has been quite successful in the past two years, earning more than fourteen dollars, considers himself quite accomplished among his peers. He thinks he is one of the best looking, so he decides not to pursue Gina Lopez since she’s married, but Emily Lopez and Helen Wilson are still single, making them his potential targets.
At this ti, he deliberately shook the car keys in his hand, a key to a car worth over twenty-four thousand, and smilingly said to Helen Wilson, “Helen, where are you working now?”
This seed like a normal question, everyone is over twenty-five, so by now, they should be working, and chatting about work when gathered is natural.
As the host, Helen Wilson naturally couldn’t neglect the guests here. Smiling slightly, she said, “I work at YODC City Bureau.”
William imdiately said, “In YODC? I actually have so business contacts there and know so friends too, including two from the T District. If you ever have any problems at the Public Security Bureau, just call , I’ll definitely help.”
Helen nodded and said, “Thank you very much.”
For soone Helen’s age, especially being a woman, in the police system, she is generally considered just an office worker. Naturally, William would assu this, and he smiled, saying, “It’s really tough to move up nowadays. Without using so connections, it might be difficult to get promoted in a lifeti.”
Helen nodded again and said, “It is indeed quite tough.” Then she looked at John Brown. If it hadn’t been for him pretending to be that Mysterious Figure and helping her a few tis, she wouldn’t even need to think about becoming a deputy director, let alone a station chief; she would still be a little officer in the station.
William, feeling even more boastful, said, “Helen, in which district do you work? Let see if I can directly ntion it to my friends. If it’s in the sa district, even better.”
Helen said, “No need, I’ll do it myself step by step.”
“How can you say that, our fathers are both old comrades, the affection between old comrades is the truest, we are like brothers and sisters, I’m like your brother, how can I not help if I can? Otherwise, my father will scold , tell which district you’re in, and I’ll call you imdiately.”
With William being so enthusiastic, Helen had no choice but to reveal which district she worked in.
Upon hearing Helen’s district, William imdiately felt confident. To show his abilities, he quickly dialed a number and, upon connecting, imdiately said, “Mr. Lee, it’s William Robinson, long ti no see… I was just thinking about you. I’ll be in YODC in a few days and will definitely treat you to dinner then… Oh, I have sothing to tell you, my sister works in the Public Security Bureau in your district, please look after her… Haha, that’s right, who are we if not close friends, if you don’t help with this, I won’t forgive you… Her na is Helen Wilson… what… what! I’m not ssing with you… what? She’s… your deputy director?”
William shouted loudly, then turned around, staring dumbfounded at Helen Wilson.
Another person nad Robert Davis suspiciously nudged William Robinson and asked, “Brother Johnson, what’s up with you?”
William’s jaw clicked, finally closing his mouth, and his face twitched slightly, saying, “Helen Wilson, you’re actually the deputy director there, you didn’t even tell .”
Helen smiled slightly and said, “You didn’t ask , how could I just ntion that I’m a deputy director?”
Everyone imdiately looked at Helen Wilson with admiration, a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau! Even for those who have worked for decades as police, it’s hard to climb to such a position, yet Helen has already achieved it at such a young age — what an impressive feat!
Helen pointed to Gina Lopez and said, “Don’t look at , I’m just a deputy director, but Gina Lopez here is the CEO of a company worth several billion, she’s the truly impressive one.”
“Several billion!” The n shouted loudly, unable to contain themselves.
Gina Lopez chuckled softly and said, “Helen, you’re just teasing , I’m just an employee.”
William gulped and said, “Gina Lopez, which company is that?”
Gina Lopez smiled slightly and said, “J Corporation, just starting up, nothing is really on track yet.”
William’s eyes lit up, seeing a business opportunity, and he imdiately began discussing the company’s operations with Gina Lopez, also introducing his own company, but this ti with a humble attitude instead of arrogance, facing Gina Lopez.
Even if the company isn’t owned by Gina Lopez, being the CEO, she still has a lot of authority. If he wants to do business with this company, he naturally needs Gina Lopez’s approval. Moreover, a high executive like Gina Lopez typically earns up to a million dollars a year, much more than what he earns from his business.
At this ti, Robert Davis said to John Brown, “John Brown, since you’re Gina Lopez’s husband, you must be quite incredible too.”
Gina Lopez and Helen Wilson both smiled and looked at John Brown, who remained composed and said, “I’m nothing special, I’m just a security guard at Jenkins Corp.” He didn’t even ntion being the security departnt manager.
“Stop joking, with Gina Lopez’s capabilities, there’s no way you’re just a security guard?” The n clearly did not believe it.
John Brown laughed, saying, “I really am just a security guard, Gina said I’m not good at anything else, so I can only be a security guard, cooking and taking care of the kids every day.”
Seeing the strange looks William and the others gave John Brown and Gina Lopez, Gina Lopez didn’t want them to look down on John Brown. She smiled and said, “Don’t listen to him; he’s the security departnt manager. He was previously the HR manager for my company and was one of the original team mbers who set up the company. It’s just now that our child is older, one of us has to give up our career to take care of the child, and John gave up his career. For that, I’m very grateful to my husband.”
Gina Lopez’s words did indeed elevate John Brown’s status, but William and the others still felt that John Brown was just riding on soone else’s coattails. They didn’t show it on their faces but felt a sense of disdain internally.
But seeing how well Gina Lopez treated John Brown, always staying close by without any commanding deanor, made them very envious. As n, achieving John Brown’s level is indeed an accomplishnt.
Helen Wilson, seeing William was interested in her, proactively said, “Gina, you took my husband away, and now you’re showing off your love here. Isn’t that a bit inconsiderate?”
Gina Lopez understood that Helen was just reminding William and the others, so she laughed and said, “I didn’t force him to go, it’s a deal he negotiated himself. I didn’t ddle, it just so happens that these days are crucial, and he really couldn’t leave.”
“Ah, n, always focusing on their careers. I wish my husband could be like yours, waiting for at ho every day, wouldn’t that be nice? Otherwise, why don’t we switch? Our husbands look the sa anyway, no one would notice.”
Gina Lopez tittered, “How could you even say that? Can husbands be exchanged?”
“Your husband is so great, always by your side. It really makes envious, jealous, and hateful.”
“Alright, alright, next ti I’ll make sure your husband stays, and I’ll have my husband work instead.”
“You said it, I’m taking you seriously.”
“Has anything I, Gina Lopez, said ever not counted?”
Their conversation seed very natural, and others naturally couldn’t hear any underlying aning, but John Brown understood the hidden ssage in their words clearly. However, it was best not to interrupt, as Helen was full of grievances and provoking her would be unwise.
Their conversation indicated to everyone that Helen is already taken, so they couldn’t be too affectionate towards her anymore and shifted their attention to Emily Lopez.
With a playful and lively personality, Emily Lopez socialized freely with these people, who bore no ill intent. However, she gave them no chance, making it clear that she currently had no intention of dating.
The lunch was incredibly lively. Before long, these old comrades were getting a bit tipsy, their spirits lifting even higher, as they talked about business, children, and reminisced about the past.
John Brown went to the restroom in the middle of it, and as he returned to the large private room’s entrance, Helen Wilson suddenly took his arm, which startled him. Just as he was about to pull away and ask what Helen wanted, she had already opened the door and exclaid, “Mom and Dad, John ca specifically to celebrate your birthday!”
The room suddenly fell silent, and all eyes turned towards John Brown and Helen Wilson.
