Chapter 51
Selena frowned as she walked forward to ask.
"Yes, is this a big event, dad? You also prepared so much champagne!" Andrew was confused too. He really could not understand why such a grand celebration was held during the day!
"There is something to celebrate. Ivan is about to sign a big business deal and happens to be big. Ivan mentioned that his net profit would be 300 million dollars! This amount is close to the profit we made in one year!" The old master smiled and said frankly.
"Yes indeed, our Ivan has finally made us very proud. He could complete such a big business deal!" Theodore nodded before raising his head slightly. He looks a little proud.
"But I'm not sure which family he made a deal with?" Selena frowned and felt that this was very unexpected because this non-serious man could somehow do something so confusing?
"With Wilson. He's on his way to sign it. We reached an agreement over the phone last night, so I think he should come back now!" Old master looks at time.
"Selena, actually you were amazing back then. Too bad, if it wasn't for..." A relative of the Taylor family glanced at Jack, hinting at something.
"Uncle, I know. I chose this path and will never regret it!" Selena smiled, looking rather melancholy.
Right at this moment the door opened once more and Ivan appeared in front of everyone.
"Ivan's back, everyone's clapping!" Theodore immediately cheered.
At that moment, everyone started clapping and the entire room instantly came alive!
"Ivan, you have arrived at the right moment, everyone is gathered here just for you!"
"Yes indeed, Young Master Ivan. Hurry up and announce the results of your work, even champagne is ready!"
Some relatives soon came forward to smear Ivan.
Jack and Selena looked at each other. They knew the purpose of today's meeting was to witness Ivan's incredible results and just to show off his incredible ability!
Ivan had a bitter look as he spoke in a depressed tone, "His contract failed. Something appeared and Young Master Wilson immediately tore it apart!"
"What!"
Everyone gasped when they heard that statement! They were all ready for the celebration that even the banquet was already fully prepared. However, Ivan actually told them that the whole ordeal was in vain. Before Ivan came out, he was very confident and it looked like he was 100% sure a deal would be followed up.
"What's going on?" The old master's expression dimmed as he slowly approached Ivan and questioned him.
At that moment, Ivan finds himself tongue-tied. He actually did not know how to respond to it. He couldn't possibly expose the horrible deed he and Michael did last night, right? If he did, it was possible that the old master would think of killing him.
"Well, this is pretty hard to say ... The thing is, Michael is in a bad mood and mentioned that his family had some incidents last night, so he will not sign any more agreements. Me too, I have no choice! also got kicked out of there!" Ivan decided to scold him. "I didn't expect Michael to be so dishonorable either! How could he change his mind when it was agreed!"
Chapter 52
"How could Michael act like that? So he changed his mind today for no reason after reaching an agreement yesterday!"
"Yes, totally despicable. He actually had the courage to play with such a big problem?"
Everyone from the Taylor family was furious and started to blame Michael. Upon realizing that no one was pointing at him, Ivan felt relief in his heart. Jack, who was standing at the side, frowned. He somehow felt this entire ordeal was not that simple.
It wasn't easy for Fiona to get such an opportunity, so it was only natural for her to take it. He immediately said, "Huh, Young Master Ivan, our family has been waiting for your good news, you know. Here we thought you'd be able to bring a 300 million dollar business deal to the Taylor family. We don't don't expect everything to turn into nothing!"
As he made that statement, Ivan's face looked extremely cold and bitter. She originally made Fiona and everyone here to brag about her incredible achievement, not expecting it to backfire on her.
However, he saw Jack at the side. He sneered and said, "It's my fault because I never expected someone of such high status as Young Master Wilson to retract his words!"
Ivan stopped when he made that statement. He then mused for a moment before continuing, "However, I am stronger than the others because I believe someone still hasn't had a job since he came back, right!? time to find a job!"
Cecelia immediately interjected and said, "Oh yes, after the veterans are laid off, they seem to have a very hard time finding a suitable job for them. So, can he do his old job and take out?"
After hearing that, many of Taylor's family started laughing. In their eyes, delivering take out was seen as a very low-key and humiliating job.
"That's right, I know a lot of veterans who can't get a job after being laid off and end up working as bodyguards or security guards. Why don't we do it this way? Come be a security guard in our company and I'll pay you a monthly wage of 4000 dollars!"
After Ivan thought about it, he started laughing and humbling.
"4000 a month, that's not bad!" When Fiona hears about it, she tells Jack, "Why don't you think about it, Jack? You're a big guy and it's impossible to just cook at home and do nothing, right?"
"Forget it. First of all, I don't need that much cash. Also, I don't want to be ruled by certain people." Jack immediately rejected the offer. When he witnessed the scene of Ivan bullying his own daughter upon his return yesterday, he would never work for Ivan.
If it wasn't for Ivan being part of the Taylor family, and therefore a relative of Selena, Jack would have killed her.
All he wanted to do now was spend time with his wife and daughter and live a peaceful life.
"Don't need money?" Ivan laughed when he heard that. Even Fiona's expression instantly turned bitter.
"You don't need the money? Really funny. Don't forget our deal, don't blame us when you can't pay those 30 million dollars when the time comes!"
Ivan chuckles before he starts laughing at Jack. He said, "It seems like you're not short on cash. You don't need a little cash, do you? Your shortfall is 30 million dollars, so I'm really interested to see how you're going to make that money. If you can't pay for it when the time comes, it will prove that aside from your ability to lie, you're nothing!"
Chapter 53
"There's no need for you to care about my business. 4000 a month, that's really an insult to me!" Jack smiled thinly. The truth was that when he was about to be repatriated, it was uncertain how many people had secretly contacted him and offered him a large sum of money. But he rejected everything.
Thus, a four thousand dollar offer from Ivan was unlikely to meet his demand for work because that amount was just an insult to him.
"Yes, yeah, yeah. You're the boss, you've made a huge contribution to the country so they're definitely offering you a huge amount of money, right? From the looks of it, we were blind to worry about you. !" Ivan spoke in a cynical tone.
Jack ignored him and instead, shifted his focus to the champagne on the table. He then said, "Old Master Taylor, are we not celebrating anymore? If we don't eat now, the food will be cold!"
The corner of Old Master Taylor's mouth twitched violently as Jack did not hold back as he spoke. He said things that he should not only intentionally humiliate them even though today was planned as a celebration.
"I think you haven't seen this particular meal in a long time. You should be drooling now even looking at it, right?" Cecelia immediately rolled her eyes at Jack before coldly making that statement.
"Let's eat because the food is served. Consider this a normal meeting now!" Old Master Taylor helplessly waved his hand. He then looked at Ivan and said, "Ivan, remember that the next time before the agreement is signed, ignore all oral agreements made. There was always the possibility that the other party would back out at any time. Do you understand? ? Therefore, next time don't speak too confidently!"
Ivan's expression turned bitter, however, he could only roll over with a punch and smile awkwardly. He said, "I understand, Grandpa. Please, join us too!"
Finally, everyone sat down and started eating. Xena seemed to be eating carefully. She initially thought that because her own appearance was not bad, the Taylor family might be happier because she was coming along. He did not expect that he would instead be looked down upon and disowned.
"Young Master Ivan, that Jack person acted so rashly before. Why don't we think of a way to humiliate him?" While they were eating, a middle-aged man from the Taylor family sat down next to Ivan and spoke up.
"really now? Do you have a plan?" After Ivan heard it, he was immediately interested.
"Young Master Ivan, don't we have some alcoholics here? Why don't we get her drunk and she'll embarrass herself, right? It would be much better if he fought irrationally while drunk!" The man chuckled as he said that.
"Good!" Ivan was delighted. He always goes out for drinks and his alcohol tolerance is pretty good. Moreover, if some members of the Taylor family could listen to him and drink with Jack, it would be a miracle for him not to get drunk under his orders!
After a while, the middle-aged man approached Jack and said with a smile, "You're Jack, right? To be honest, when you married Selena back then, I didn't get a chance to drink with you as your parents. So, let's toast to you being a war hero because it has absolutely nothing to do with whether you're part of the Taylor family or not!"
Since he mentioned he was an elder, Jack couldn't resist him. All he could do was stand up and pour himself a drink before saying, "You're too good. We are all citizens of Daxia and it is our duty to defend our land! As a form of honor, I'll drink to you. first!"
The man was delighted when he saw Jack chugging a glass of alcohol so casually. After that, he finished his drink then said, "Oh, how I can't see the joy of being a soldier. Your alcohol tolerance is not bad. Come on now, let's drink one more. This one, we'll think of it as a blessing for you and Selena. Of course, I hope you can pay 30 million dollars on Old Master Taylor's seventy birthday to prove that you are worthy of our Selena!"
Chapter 54
The first toast is to honor Jack's contribution in defending the country. The second is a blessing for Jack and Selena. This is the reason why Jack could not refuse the drink. Not to mention, that person was an old man. If Jack were to reject his offer, he would obviously seem unreasonable. Therefore, all Jack could do was smile and receive every loaf of bread given to him as they drank.
The only thing was, Jack did not expect that even after three consecutive toasts, the man in front of him would not leave because the other man came with more alcohol. Jack could not help but frown when he began to think the whole ordeal was strange. These people usually looked down on him and now they were all trying to drink with him? Therefore, it seemed strange and obvious that they were trying to get him drunk. However, as much as they tried to plot against him, he never took heart.
The five years he spent in such terrible and war-torn conditions made his body extremely fit. Adding to the fact that he had quite a strange encounter, it was impossible for these people to actually get him drunk.
After that, more people kept coming. Jack smiled at them politely, then made small talk with them before chugging all the alcohol in his glass. He looks very impressive. After drinking seven to eight glasses of red wine, Selena who was watching from the side started to panic slightly. After Jack sat down once more, he instinctively pulled on Jack's shirt gently.
"Do you not know how to refuse? It's okay to drink a little less. You drank so much so fast. What would you do if you were drunk?" Selena lowered her voice and reminded him in a gentle tone.
Jack's heart was warmed after hearing his statement. She never expected that Selena would really care about him. After all, such a wife would be very hard to find. In order to save her pride, she deliberately spoke in a softer tone so that no one else could hear her.
“Don't worry, my alcohol tolerance isn't too bad. In addition, you can see and see that basically everyone who comes is a parent. The reason they even made you unable to resist is not tying you up and asking you to drink with them!" Jack also lowered his voice and replied in a gentle tone, putting his hand over his mouth.
"It just so happens to be red wine. Although it tastes good, the rush can be overwhelming. It's easy to get drunk so be careful!"
Selena also realized the reason they had given Jack before was really hard to resist. If he had deliberately rejected one of them, the elders would have said that Jack looked down on them and it would have been a pretty complicated ordeal to manage afterwards. The only thing is, how could he not worry about the way Jack drank?
Ivan smiled widely as he walked over with a glass of alcohol in his hand at that moment.
After Jack looked at him, he frowned and said, "Young Master Ivan, you don't want to drink with me either now, do you? It just so happened that I broke your arm!"
The tip of Ivan's mouth twitched violently upon hearing the statement.
However, he controlled his emotions and said with a smile, "That's all a misunderstanding. I actually played with Kylie back then. I don't expect you to misunderstand me!"
After she finished saying that, she added, "No matter what, Selena is still my cousin and you should call me cousin as well. Although I feel you are incapable of anything, but it is not easy to survive through the battlefield. With that, let me toast to you!"
After saying that, Ivan immediately downed his glass to dry. He then said, "Jack, you wouldn't deny that honor now, would you?"
"How good. Young Master Ivan toast me, without a doubt, will be my honor. It doesn't matter if I do!" Jack chuckled as he immediately downed the alcohol in his glass.
"Great Ah! Now we talk! I like to connect with people. How do you think we're drinking three glasses?"
One of Ivan's hands was still being digips, but he still picked up a bottle of red wine and poured it into two empty glasses.
"It's not a good idea right now, your injuries haven't fully recovered. Young Master Ivan, you better not drink that much!" Jack pretended to be drunk as he gently shook his head and advised her.
Chapter 55
After realizing that Jack finally started refusing to drink and even shook his head, Ivan felt good in his heart. Judging from the looks of it, it seemed like Jack might reach his limit. He immediately said, "It's okay, it's okay. Come on now, today is a happy day and we all have to drink three glasses!"
"All right then!" Jack pretended as if he was in a difficult place but still drank all the alcohol slowly.
At this moment, Jack had already drunk more than ten glasses in a row as even some elders and Ivan felt a little drunk. However, they all thought that Jack should have been almost drunk by now.
"Let's guys, we haven't had a drink together in a long time, let's have a drink!" Ivan raised his glass and spoke to everyone present.
He mocked in his heart that in a situation where everyone was drinking, Jack would not be able to resist and would be forced to drink.
"All right, let's all have a drink. Let's drink to make our Taylor Group business grow stronger!" Old Master Taylor smiled as he said that.
"Return!" Ivan immediately drank alcohol.
Not long after he finished drinking, Ivan signaled to the others to take turns making Jack drink. He was interested to see how long Jack could follow. Unfortunately for him, even though Jack wasn't brave enough to resist and seemed almost drunk, he still drank glass after glass. On the other hand, some elders were completely confused over drinking. Even their words seem unclear. Two of them even rushed to the restroom to vomit not long after.
Ivan was really angry as he went ahead to drink a few more glasses with Jack. However, he ends up completely drunk while Jack is still fine.
"Damn it, what kind of monster is this brat who has such a high alcohol tolerance?" A completely wasted man approached Ivan and commented with a frown.
"I told you that a veteran's alcohol tolerance would be impressive but this, isn't this too crazy? Some of us take turns drinking with him and still can't get him drunk!"
Ivan had a bitter expression on his face and was completely speechless.
It was at this moment that Tanya Drake, who had just finished eating with her best friend, walked through the room. He heard how alive it was inside and decided to take a casual peek.
"What's wrong? Let's go, Tanya. You won't really be charmed by the handsome guy inside right now, will you?" One of the young women teased.
"You guys go first, I'm not joining you guys for a shopping trip. There's someone I know inside and I have something to do!" Tanya immediately said with a smile.
"Alright then, we'll hang out another day!" The other girls nodded and immediately left.
Tanya immediately pushed the door open and entered the room. He said, "Oh wow. I was just talking about how alive it is, it turns out it's the Taylor family!"
"Who are you? We, the Taylor family, are eating here. What are foreigners doing here?" Ivan had already endured the frustration in his heart. In a drunken state, he immediately shouted without taking a closer look.
Chapter 56
"I'm a stranger? Heh, I'm going first!" Tanya was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter as she turned around and prepared to leave.
Old Master Taylor could recognize who he was at a glance and instantly flinched. This happens to be the daughter of the richest man in Eastfield. His family's strength is enormous. It is uncertain how many people would like to humble themselves to their families. However, it seemed like such an opportunity was extremely rare.
They, as a third-rate noble family, were even more desperate to spoil them. The only thing is that there has never been such an opportunity to do so. They did not expect Tanya to actually appear in front of them. The only thing was that his own grandson looked messy from actually saying something like that without fear of offending that person.
"Drake-Miss Tanya ..." Old Master Taylor was quite nervous as she stuttered.
"Ivan, what are you spraying? It was a coincidence Miss Drake. Aren't you going to hurry up and apologize?" Even Theodore was shocked as he immediately punished Ivan.
Initially in a drunken state, Ivan was really frightened when he heard the statement. Immediately, he stood up in panic, rushed over, and extended his arm. He said, "Sorry, sorry. Sigh, I didn't expect you to be Miss Drake. It's really a surprise. All I want to say is, I don't expect a woman of high status like Miss. Drake appeared in a place like this.”.
Ivan did not know how to apologize as he stretched out his hand, intending to shake someone else's hand.
However, Miss Tanya had both hands behind her back and completely ignored Ivan. He glanced at Old Master Taylor and said, Old Master Taylor, am I welcome here?
"Welcome, welcome. Of course welcomed!" Old Master Taylor frantically said, "Servant, add another set of tableware. Please sit here, Miss Drake!"
Smiling, Miss Drake said, "No need to bother. Rice alone was no problem as I had just finished eating next door earlier with my best friends. As it passed, I saw a familiar face here and came to eat. Look!"
"Miss Drake! Unexpectedly, we meet again!" Fiona behaved very rashly as she frantically advanced forward while laughing out loud. He seems to be teasing her.
Tanya's status was very high and she even gave her a business card last night. If she could talk more with Tanya, the Taylor family would have to respect her more. However, he felt a little anxious. She was afraid that Miss Drake would ignore her and if that happened, she would only embarrass herself.
"Indeed, aunt. I saw you guys here so I decided to go in and see it!" Tanya smiled calmly as that one statement made everyone gasp. So, was that familiar face that Tanya spoke of actually Fiona and the others? When did Fiona and her family become familiar faces Tanya mentioned? Although Tanya also knew about Old Master Taylor, she would never call him a 'familiar face'.
"Young Master Ivan, that apology of yours seems a little insincere. I think you should at least have a bottle of red wine... Moreover, the exclamation you made earlier sounded louder than usual!" At this moment, Jack suddenly laughed before lazily commenting on his earlier statement.
The corner of Ivan's mouth twitched violently. He was already dizzy from drinking, so how could he possibly drink a bottle of red wine by himself? This kid is deliberately trying to cause trouble!
"Oh yeah, your voice was actually very loud before even I was shocked!"
Chapter 57
What was even more unbelievable was that Miss Tanya actually covered her tiny mouth in surprise. He then said, "If you can finish this whole bottle of red wine, it will prove the sincerity of your apology."
Old Master Taylor was silent for a moment as well. However, since Miss Tanya had spoken, if they did not do as she asked, it would be very disrespectful to her. If he held a grudge in his heart because of this, it seemed that their Taylor family would not even be able to dream of flourishing in Eastfield anymore.
"Why are you still lingering there, Ivan? Show me your sincerity!" After noticing the bitter expression on Ivan's face, Old Master Taylor was in a difficult place and immediately reminded him.
"Alright, I didn't mean to offend you before. I'm going to chug this bottle dry as an apology!" Ivan grabbed a bottle of red wine and immediately poured it down his throat.
When he half drank it, he felt a little uncomfortable. However, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and forcefully finish the entire bottle. Hatred appeared in his heart. That damned Jack, why would he have to look for trouble at random. The main point was that Miss Tanya really listened to him. Moreover, what made her even more speechless was Miss Tanya who ruined her plans last night. If not for him, he would have successfully signed the agreement and returned proudly to show how capable he was. Unfortunately…
After he finished drinking, Ivan could no longer hold it in because he immediately felt dizzy. He swayed from left to right as he took a few steps forward before collapsing to the ground and vomiting.
Old Master Taylor had a very bitter look as he watched this scene. He secretly scolded Ivan for being too weak. If she had to vomit, she could wait until Miss Tanya left. How shameful to act in such a way in front of others. Will there be a chance for the two families to work together in the future? In the future, Ivan will be the ruler of the household. Maintaining his image is important.
"That's right, what are you celebrating? I saw people drinking champagne there!" Miss Tanya simply glanced at Ivan on the ground before questioning Old Master Taylor.
"Well, actually it's not a big deal. We ... We are ..." Old Master Taylor frowned and was unsure what to say.
Suddenly, he looked at Jack and decided to grit his teeth before saying, "We're here to welcome Jack back home. Besides, he came back from the battlefield and made the country proud, right?"
"Indeed, this is something worth celebrating!" Tanya nodded, then immediately told Jack, "Oh right, Jack, Drake's family happened to be looking for bodyguards. I noticed you've been discharged so you should be quite impressive by now, right? You just came back and have no job right now, right? I'm not sure but are you interested in working as a bodyguard for the Drake family?"
As soon as Fiona heard him say that, she was overjoyed and said frantically, "Of course, of course she was interested. I heard the lowest wage for the Drake family bodyguard was around twenty to thirty thousand dollars and for those who were considered skilled, their wages would rise to over 100 thousand, right?"
"Don't worry, aunt. If Jack comes, his pay will be up to him to decide. We're just afraid he won't come!" Tanya knows Jack is an impressive man because his own father has repeatedly told her to get closer and help him no matter what. It seemed that this man's relationship with God of War was unusual.
"Come, come, come! Of course, he would be willing to come, what would not? It's uncertain how many people really want to be bodyguards for your family!" Fiona beaming. This was because if Jack was not an idiot, he would definitely not let go of such an opportunity!
After he finished speaking, he pulled Jack aside and whispered, "He said it's up to you to decide on his wages. Don't you dare ask for a little. If you are ashamed to ask for 100 thousand dollars, at the very least, ask for fifty to eighty thousand!"
Jack broke out in cold sweat because his mother-in-law was so energetic just by mentioning money.
Jack turned around and chuckled at Tanya before saying, "I have absolutely no interest in being your family bodyguard. However, my wife happens to be desperate for a job. Unless you guys can assign him to work under the Drake family, only then will I reluctantly declare my price!"
Chapter 58
"No way, is he angry? Didn't she threaten Miss Tanya now?"
"Yes, if it's not a threat then what? If his wife is not given a job, she will not work as their bodyguard? Joking, it was as if he was begging her to be their bodyguard!"
"Oh my God, this is too stupid. Miss Tanya took into account the fact that she had contributed to the country and looked after it. Therefore, he wanted her to work as Drake's family bodyguard. It was unknown how much people were eager to work under that position, and yet, he had the courage to spew such nonsense!"
"The main point was Miss Tanya even offered to mention the price herself. This alone showed how much he was highly respected!"
All the Taylor family relatives gasped after hearing what Jack said and quietly began discussing amongst themselves.
"Oh my God, what if he offends Miss Tanya and the Drake family? If that happens, are they going to blame our Taylor family as well because she's the Taylor family's daughter-in-law!"
No one knows who said that.
Old Master Taylor was also shocked upon hearing the statement. That's a fair point. If Jack offended the Drake family, his death would have very little impact on them because the Taylor family never took him seriously.
However, this boy just so happens to be Selena's husband. From someone else's point of view, she happened to be their daughter-in-law. If Miss Tanya were to blame the Taylor family for the problems caused by this brat, it would be a disaster.
He frantically came forward and smiled towards Tanya as he said, "Miss Tanya, this brat happens to be drinking too much and spouting nonsense. Please don't take heart. Thank you for your kind attitude, Miss Ask The thing is, this brat might only be a subordinate while he was in the army. She was unfamiliar with the formalities, so it seemed like it would be very difficult for her to adapt to being Drake's family bodyguard. ."
They never expected Jack's statement to make Miss Tanya so excited because she wanted nothing more than to please Jack right away because it also meant praising Lana, one of the Gods of War.
His initial statement was intended to test Jack. He assumed that Jack would not approve of it but did not expect that he would actually give him such an opportunity.
"What's this empty talk about, Jack? Miss Tanya has offered you such a good job that you have to behave and do well. Don't make trouble Miss Tanya!" Even Selena was shocked as she immediately said that after waking up from her shock.
"No way, I'll just agree if you want to work there. If not, I won't work either. I don't even want to work!" Jack immediately said that with a cold expression.
Everyone wants to faint. This guy is obviously stupid. His current condition would require that he desperately get a job to support the family's expenses. Did he not know that his family was very poor? How could he be so arrogant at this moment?
"Sure! Sure thing!" Miss Tanya hid her excitement as she walked forward and told Selena, "Miss Selena, I remember that you are quite talented in management. Let's put it this way, we have a big project coming up soon so you can come and be our project manager, what do you think? His salary was fifty-no, one million per month, what about that? There will be a year-end bonus too!"
"One million!" Fiona and Andrew looked at each other and gasped. Even if he was a project manager, it was already impressive enough to make over ten thousand dollars a month. They had not expected Miss Tanya to make such a high bid.
"Sister, aren't you going to rush over and thank Miss Tanya? Where else would you find such an amazing job?" Ben was afraid he would retract his words and immediately reminded him.
"Yes, my daughter, hurry and agree now. Do you understand?"
Chapter 59
Fiona was overjoyed because such a high wage was something she never expected at all. Does that mean, after a few months, they will be able to afford a big house?
"This ... Isn't this a little too high?" Selena was also quite emotional as she was stunned for a moment.
Back then, after he was exiled from the Taylor family, he constantly stumbled because he was very difficult to find a job. Even when he wanted to find an agent to look for a job, not a single person dared to accept him. However, now, Miss Tanya had actually given him a savior. The main point was, did Ivan dare to make trouble with the Drake family after Miss Tanya immediately offered him a job? Obviously that's very unlikely to happen.
Jack frowned as he silently muttered in his heart that the Drake family was actually quite talented at stalking. Because they most likely tried to persuade him because they offered Selena a good job. Although Jack did not like money, as long as his wife was happy and peaceful, he would be very happy.
"Honey, it all depends on whether you want to or not. If not, just refuse. After all, we don't need money!" Jack shrugged his shoulders then casually mentioned that.
It is true that he does not need money. Because it only takes one word from him and the whole of Eastfield will be his. The only thing was, he currently had no intention of showing off his status.
The entire Taylor family almost fainted. Don't need money? Selena was actually picking up trash for sale back then and she could actually say that they didn't need money.
"Good master, the heavy words you have! After all, you only contribute to a small cause so your prize money is only a little over a million dollars, right? With so little money and you dare say that you don't need it. Money? If you want a better home in the capital, you may not even be able to afford a house with three bedrooms, one living room!" Cecelia could no longer see her pretence as she directly insulted him.
"Yes, that daughter, she could've registered in kindergarten last year but she hasn't been able to until now and it's all because they don't have money. It happened to be a little hard earned.the money he made by risking his life for five years. If he could boast that much, it seemed like he had never seen enough money since a million dollars was enough to satisfy him!" The other members of the Taylor family could not help but ridicule him.
“I'm willing, why don't I? I have long wanted a job now. The thing is, the wages are a little too high and I'm a little worried I can't meet my needs.work standards and disappoint you!" Selena's heart was a little emotional and a little anxious and she frantically said that.
"Miss Selena, don't worry. I Believe in Your Ability. We've done some research on you, two years you've been in the Taylor family and when you became general manager, the company's results were pretty good.Impressive! However, after someone else was appointed in these five years, it seemed to be going a little downhill!"
Tanya smiled and bluntly said, "Or, I won't just offer my price, will I?" It seemed like Jack was suspicious of something as Tanya intentionally explained.
Upon hearing the statement, Andrew who was standing at the side had a bitter expression. Wasn't this blatantly telling her that her son was not as capable as Selena? It felt like a hard slap on his face!
Chapter 60
"Thank you Miss Tanya for your compliments. This toast is my respect to you!" Selena was a little anxious in her heart. A monthly wage of one million dollars, such a job would be very hard to find. It seems that even the monthly wage of a general manager would not come close to that.
"You're too good! For a happy collaboration then!" Tanya did not act arrogant as she walked over and poured red wine for herself then gently smashed her wine glass with Selena's glass before drinking.
"Jack, now that your wife has agreed to work with us, you can't take back your words now, tell me your price?" Tanya beamed as she prayed in her heart if her father knew she had hired Jack as their bodyguard, uncertain how happy she was.
Everyone's face was sweating. Since Miss Tanya was not only not angry after hearing Jack's outrageous statement, she seemed to very much want Jack to be a part of their Drake family and make him a bodyguard.
Jack laughed bitterly and said, "Well, I have no choice now and it seems, I have to agree to it!" While saying that, Jack paused for a moment then said, "But, I have a condition. Regarding wages, I can be paid a little less, besides, I am not short of freedom. That means I'll only come to work when I have time and if there's anything, I'll have to go out and take care of it, right!"
Tanya's expression looked strange. How does this work, is this not called living like a master?
"What do you think, Jack? You're there to be a bodyguard, you work for people so you have to comply with their requirements. How can you go whenever you want?" Fiona was furious. This bastard finally found a very good job and he's become very unreasonable now.
Moreover, he even mentioned that he could be paid a little less. He really lacks integrity now. However, because this trash was not worthy of being his son-in-law and because he could banish him from the Taylor family on the seventy anniversary of the old master. So, what to worry about.
"Son, this is a good opportunity so you have to work well now. Do you understand?" Joan also came forward to advise him.
"certain. However, if there is a major incident that requires your help, you should arrive immediately whenever you are called. Can you do it?" They never expected Miss Tanya to actually agree to it once again.
Theodore and the others were completely confused. Is Miss Tanya crazy? How could he really agree to such a requirement? Does their Drake family really need bodyguards?
"Now, you can talk about the amount you want for your wages, right? You mentioned earlier, you want to be paid a little less, so don't ask for too much now!" Miss Tanya laughed. She looks so adorable.
"Yes, fine then, just twenty million dollars! Twenty million dollars a month! A smaller amount than that, you can forget about it!" Jack paused for a moment and raised two fingers.
"Are you crazy, Jack? Is Miss Tanya joking with you right now?" A relative of the Taylor family immediately scolded him. This guy blatantly throws fit. How could a bodyguard ask for twenty million a month, moreover, come to work whenever he was free? Was he not afraid of offending Miss Tanya? What if he gets angry later?
"This number is a little outrageous now. Even if you can name your price, you shouldn't mention it that way, right?" A bodyguard behind Miss Tanya could no longer bear to watch. Under normal circumstances, they would never intervene but this person bluntly asked for twenty million dollars. Then what will they, bodyguards with monthly wages of only a hundred to two hundred thousand dollars?
