Chapter 77 Chat With Me Alone The moment Leandro appeared, everyone forgot about Geraldâs Diamond Card.
The Diamond Card was something they couldnât get in their lives.
However, they witnessed with their eyes what happened to Benning and Jacob.
That was Universe Group, a company that countless people wanted to join.
Now, with just a few words, Benning joined it and his annual salary was 160 thousand dollars, which was the same as Kian.
This made many people have expectations. They hoped Gerald could mention their names so that Leandro could notice them.
Maybe Leandro would think they were useful and recruit them.
An annual salary of 160 thousand dollars was perhaps a lifelong goal for them, but in a big enterprise like Universe Group, basic managers could get it!
Now, a person with an annual salary of 160 thousand dollars was right in front of them, and it was only because of Geraldâs few words!
A minute ago, Benning was just a delivery man, and they looked down on him.
This change was too big.
They thought of Jacob, who was personally interviewed by Leandro. How much was his annual salary? And what was his position?
Kian thought of this. He looked at Jacob and thought in shock, is Jacobâs position higher than mine?
However, Leandro did not continue to ask the others. He smiled and waved his hand. âYou guys have fun. I have to go.â
After Leandro left, everyone was disappointed. They quietly looked at Benning and Jacob with jealous looks on their faces.
They felt that the two were in good luck and had made a meteoric rise.
Gerald, who caused all this, kept silent. He smiled slightly, picked up his fork, and began to eat.
Benning still had a look of disbelief on his face at the time. He looked at Gerald and asked, âGerald, is Mr. Hanson joking?
How could I have the qualifications to work in Universe Group?â
Kian agreed. He roared in his heart, yes, you are fucking not qualified. You are just a delivery man. You shouldnât be on equal footing with me. But now that Mr. Hanson personally appointed you, you are on equal footing with me. Damn it!
Benningâs words made other people even more jealous.
Doreen looked up and said, âBenning, donât worry. Leandro is not joking. Go back and prepare the materials. When the time comes, you can go with Jacob to go through the employment procedures.â
Andrew stood aside in embarrassment.
He dejectedly returned to the table, looked at Kian, and said, âWhat the hell is going on? Jacob is capable, but how can a fool like Benning be a manager?â
âHow do I know?â The more Kian thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He picked up his fork and ate.
The delicious food was now a little tasteless and even a little bitter.
After a short period of shock, everyone began to chat again.
They ignored Benning and Jacob before, but now they began to toast and congratulate them.
A few pretty girls even friended Benning on Line.
They were unwilling to look Benning in the eye before!
Everyone was realistic!
But no one paid attention to Gerald. Even after his Diamond Card appeared, most people believed what Rhoda said and felt that Gerald had probably stolen it.
Audrey glared at Gerald and said in a low voice, âIt must be this guy again.â
Hazel and Keira also knew that it was because of Gerald that Jacob and Benning could join Universe Group.
But they did not say anything.
After Benning joined Universe Group, Kian felt extremely embarrassed, and the gathering became a little boring.
The purpose of Kian organizing this gathering was to show off how well he was doing. Things went in this way in the beginning. Many people envied him.
But now, Benning and Jacob had become the focus of this gathering.
This made Kian feel uncomfortable. Originally, he planned to organize something fun in the afternoon after this gathering, but now, he was not in the mood at all.
After the meal, Kian said that he had something to do and left with Diya. Since the organizer left, the others followed suit.
Benning was very happy. He looked at Gerald and said, âGerald, thank you. If not for your reminder, I wouldnât have had this job. But I will repay your kindness next time. I have to go back now and tell my parents this good news. If they know that I can work at Universe Group and the annual salary is so high, they will be overjoyed!â
Gerald smiled.
Benning was not a bad person. After Gerald returned to Sacramento, Benning was the only person who showed goodwill aside from his parents. It was not a big deal to help Benning.
After everyone left, Audrey glared at Gerald and said, âGerald, tell me, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Hanson?
Donât think that I donât know. If you didnât remind Mr. Hanson just now, he wouldnât have the idea of letting Benning join his group.
When the annual salary was mentioned, he also looked at you secretly.â
Gerald touched his nose and said, âCome on!â
Doreen looked at Gerald and said, âGerald, chat with me alone.
I have something I want to talk to you about!â
When Audrey heard this, she glared at Gerald and said, âYou are always secretive, but sooner or later, I will find out everything about you.â
âGo ahead. You can do it now. Pick a hotel and letâs learn more about each other,â Gerald said with a smile.
Audrey blushed and hurriedly said, âYou bastard!â
Gerald smiled and told Jacob something. Jacob took a taxi and left.
Keira and the other two also gave Gerald and Doreen some time to be alone. The three of them took a taxi and left. Doreen took out her car key, pointed it to the car next to her, and pressed the button. âGet in the car!â
Gerald looked at her pretty face and had an inexplicable feeling. He opened the door and took the front passenger seat!
Treasure Storeâs backyard, All Antiques, Los Angeles In the backyard of the Treasure Store, there were five people.
They were Mary, Irene, Vivian, and Mike!
And in front of them sat Donovan with a mustache. With a magnifier in his hand, he was carefully checking a saber!
The hilt of this saber looked ancient, but the blade was shining brightly and extremely sharp!
The blade was about 0.6 feet long. It was the shorter one out of the two sabers that Gerald had left in the Everetteâs place.
The Everette family felt that these two sabers were treasures and did not intend to return them to Gerald, so they planned to sell them.
To sell this saber, they brought Mike, the most knowledgeable person in their family, with them.
âHow is it? Is this saber valuable?â Mary asked anxiously.
Clang!
Donovan inserted the saber into the scabbard and said with a frown, âThis saber is sharp, but it is made from modern technology. I only want antiques. The hilt looks a little old, but it is not worth much money.â
Mary and Irene were slightly stunned. Mike hurriedly said, âTake a closer look, Mr. Collen. I have never seen such a sharp saber in my life. It can cut stones easily.â
Donovan smiled and said, âHow about 16 thousand dollars? I will take it!â
âYou must be kidding,â Mike said. âThis saber is more than 16 thousand dollars!â
âIndeed!â Just then, someone chuckled. âA saber that can cut stones easily must be a world-famous treasure.â
The four looked over and saw that not far away, a man in his forties wearing a gown walked over with a birdcage.
Donovan cleared his throat and looked at the middle-aged man, but he did not dare to say anything.
The middle-aged man said happily, âWhat saber is this? Let me have a look.â
When Mary heard this, she was delighted. She quickly handed the saber over and said, âPlease.â
The middle-aged man smiled. However, when his eyes fell on the saber, his pupils shrank slightly. Especially, when he noticed the symbol on the hilt, he was shocked.
