Chapter 666: Chapter 704: Husband and Wife United
“Hey, Little Rachel, what are you busy with?” Jas Brown teased Helen Wilson as soon as he ca in.
Helen was in a good mood, but she still put on a stern face and snapped, “Quit the sweet talk. I’m at work now, just caught a bunch of drug traffickers, and I’m in the middle of an interrogation.”
“Hehe, thanks a lot. I saw it on the news too. I just had a run-in with them a few days ago. If it weren’t for you catching them, I wouldn’t know how to deal with these reckless guys next.”
“Oh really, so I’m just here to clean up your ss? You go out causing trouble, and I have to arrest people?”
“It’s not that I’m causing trouble; it’s those bad guys coming at . As a police officer, you have to protect the safety of us citizens. I thank you on behalf of all the people of YODC City.”
“Stop, stop, keep going, and you’ll be sending a funeral wreath. What’s the matter? I don’t have ti to listen to your nonsense.”
“Alright, let tell you sothing. There’s a brother in my security departnt whose girlfriend’s father was frad and arrested. Can you see if you can get him out?”
“Just because you say it’s a fra-up doesn’t make it so. These kinds of things should go through proper procedures, right?”
“If it goes through procedures, it’ll be so troubleso. Besides, aren’t you at least a deputy director? Don’t you have so sway?”
“Nonsense, even as a deputy director, I can’t just release people as I please. Send the detailed situation to my email, and I’ll take a look and get back to you.”
After hanging up, Helen actually wanted to chat with Jas now and then, but with so much work on her plate, she prioritized her job.
Jas Brown asked Jack Carter to prepare the materials, and Jack was thrilled. He was gaining more and more confidence in Jas. The more he interacted with this usually laid-back manager, the more he realized how capable Jas was, contrary to his casual deanor.
When Jas returned to the security office, he noticed it was more crowded than usual, with people from other departnts, both n and won, clearly there to dig up so workplace gossip. Qian Laoshi was there, talking animatedly, while several other security guards added fuel to the fire, making the security office exceptionally lively.
Fighting heroically against cri bosses had now beco a company legend, and Jas and the security guards had beco the hottest figures in the company.
Jas found John Davis and the others’ smug looks amusing, even Qian Laoshi, that old slickster, straightened his chest, looking quite self-satisfied and unflinching, which was pretty funny, but it was also a nice bit of color to life’s canvas.
After lunch, Gina Lopez called Jas up and frowned, saying, “You got into a fight and didn’t even tell .”
Jas chuckled, “It wasn’t a big deal. If I had told you, you’d just worry, so I didn’t ntion it.”
“Do you still consider your wife?” Gina gave Jas a sideways glance and said, “Aren’t couples supposed to share everything and carry burdens together?”
Jas quickly replied, “Yes, yes, I was inconsiderate. From now on, I’ll definitely consult and report to my wife about everything.”
“You’re not sincere at all.” Gina rolled her eyes at Jas again, but she wasn’t truly upset. She asked, “Was it you who took down that drug trafficking boss?”
Jas nodded and said, “I asked a few friends to help investigate and sent his information to the police. That guy deserved to die a hundred tis for all the evil deeds he’s done.”
Gina crossed her arms and stared at Jas, “So Helen scored another big achievent, right?”
Jas cleared his throat and said, “I don’t know too many people in the police. I’m more familiar with Helen, so I gave it to her casually. But I didn’t let her know it was from , just had soone secretly leave it in her office.”
Gina felt much better hearing this and playfully scolded, “Now that’s more like it. Stop showing off outside. I can’t understand how you have so much luck with won.”
Jas put his arm around Gina’s shoulders and laughed, “Otherwise, how could I have married such a wonderful wife like Gina?”
“You just know how to sweet-talk .” Gina elbowed Jas and then leaned into his embrace. As their marriage went on, her feelings for Jas deepened more and more. Before, she didn’t ask much about Jas’ personal affairs, but now she was increasingly concerned, always wanting to know more whenever she heard about Jas.
“By the way, how’s Jack Carter and his girlfriend?” Gina asked again.
Jas laughed, “You do know quite a lot, huh?”
“It’s already spread around the company; of course I know. These guys really should keep their mouths shut. It’s fine to talk about fights, but how could they even ntion about his girlfriend being bullied? Isn’t that just going to embarrass Jack in the future?”
John Brown slapped his forehead and said, “I really forgot to remind them about this. These guys are really loose-lipped.”
“Make sure to comfort Jack Carter a bit later. I think for you n, having sothing like this happen to your woman is always upsetting.”
Upon hearing this, John Brown felt a bit guilty. If n have such thoughts, won are the sa. As Gina Lopez’s husband, he’s tangled with several other won.
“Feeling guilty?” Gina gave John Brown a sideways glance and then said, “By the way, the guy who bullied Jack Carter’s girlfriend, are you just going to let him off like that?”
John Brown imdiately replied, “Of course I don’t plan to let him off, but that guy does legitimate business. I haven’t decided how to deal with him yet.”
“Need my help?” Gina squinted at John Brown, a cunning glint in her eyes.
John Brown looked at Gina in surprise and said, “You want to get involved too?”
“Of course, my employee was bullied. As the boss, I have to stand up for my employees.” Gina proudly shook her head.
“So, what’s your plan?” At this point, John Brown was quite happy, asking with a smile.
“It’s quite simple. We can do it like this… like this…”
After Gina finished speaking, John Brown was dumbfounded, looking at Gina with his mouth agape and unable to speak.
“What’s with that expression?” Gina nudged John Brown, asking discontentedly.
John Brown moved his jaw slightly and finally closed his mouth, then chuckled and said, “Turns out my wife is so formidable when she does bad things. I never noticed before.”
Gina spat at John Brown and said, “What do you an by bad things? This is a normal business acquisition, okay? There are many successful cases like this. As a CEO, if I can’t manage such things, how can I be a good boss?”
John Brown laughed heartily and said, “Yes, yes, a business acquisition. Haha, now that guy is dood.”
Seeing John Brown’s happy look, Gina couldn’t help but laugh out loud too. Then, the two glanced at each other and laughed even more joyfully. Doing things together really brings a lot of happiness to couples.
After stopping their laughter, Gina said, “I’m not just doing this to stand up for Jack Carter; I also think that company is quite promising. If we acquire it as a separate departnt within our company, it would be beneficial for us.”
John Brown nodded repeatedly and said, “As long as you think it’s necessary, just do it.”
Gina added, “But regarding this matter, I still need to consult Lucy Campbell, since it’s about a hostile takeover. It’s not a very honorable thing, and if we do it privately and Lucy finds out, she might be unhappy.”
John Brown quickly said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. We do our part, she won’t disagree.”
Gina gave John Brown a look and said, “Husband, it’s not right to think like that. Though Lucy is our good friend and trusts us so much, we can’t act too casually. That would show we’re unreasonable. Necessary consultations still must be done; it’s also a sign of respect for Lucy. Otherwise, we’ll betray the trust she’s placed in us.”
John Brown hurriedly agreed. He already regarded Lucy Campbell as one of his own, and using her funds and resources, he didn’t feel there was anything wrong. So, he spoke casually. But in Gina’s view, this matter was sowhat overstepping boundaries.
Of course, John Brown couldn’t explain. Even though Lucy Campbell had already confessed her feelings for him, and all the things done in YODC City were for him, she also said she didn’t want their relationship to be exposed now, nor to put Gina under pressure. So, John Brown now had to be more cautious.
“I’ll call Lucy right away.” Gina had already picked up the phone at this point and then dialed Lucy Campbell’s number. It didn’t take long to connect.
After explaining the whole situation to Lucy Campbell, even ntioning the reason for standing up for Jack Carter, Lucy responded enthusiastically and imdiately agreed to Gina’s proposal. She even promised to send over two renowned traders to help.
If not for being currently tied up, Lucy Campbell even wanted to personally co over to join Gina and Lucy in handling such matters. For her, this was a trivial task, but being able to do it with John Brown was indeed a joyful experience.
With Lucy Campbell’s endorsent, Gina could now fully exert herself. They then discussed so details until almost work hours, and John Brown finally left Gina’s office.
Henry Forman never expected that just to pursue a woman, he not only got his gang-affiliated cousin into trouble but also risked losing his company. When he finds out soday, he will definitely understand the phrase ‘beauty brings disaster.’
