360: Chapter 360: Bank Dividends 360: Chapter 360: Bank Dividends Actually, it wasn’t even fifteen minutes before Ruth Wilcox arrived at the ninth floor with three bags and knocked on the hotel room door.
She knew that Yusuf Zuck showered quickly, and indeed he did; he hadn’t even used ten minutes for showering and brushing his teeth.
When Ruth entered, he was idly fiddling with his cell phone.
“This is for you, go inside and put it on!” Ruth handed the three bags to Yusuf Zuck.
“Thank you.” Yusuf nodded his head gratefully.
Ruth had brought him new clothes, which ant she must have bought them in advance and simply hadn’t had the chance to give them to him until now.
“But there’s no need to go inside, right?
The bathroom is damp!” Yusuf chuckled.
Ruth’s face turned red.
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“Of course I wouldn’t, of course I wouldn’t.” Yusuf hastily clasped his hands together in a bowing gesture and then ran into the bathroom, holding the pile of new clothes.
A short while later, Yusuf, dressed head to toe in new clothes, ca out of the bathroom.
Ruth was standing in the room, sizing him up.
The outfit she had bought fit Yusuf perfectly and even made him look particularly handso.
“You’re missing a scarf, but just wear it for now.
I don’t have ti to go out shopping at the mont.
Co over here and sit down,” she beckoned Yusuf.
“Ms.
Wilcox, are there any new instructions?” Yusuf asked with a grin, sitting opposite Ruth.
Without any reserve, he took her hand.
Ruth struggled briefly but, finding she couldn’t pull away, she simply let him touch it.
“I wanted to ask you…
how is she doing?” Ruth whispered.
“I brought a Miao doctor from Guizhou.
I don’t know the specifics, but the doctor said there’s a way, and it’ll need around ten days of treatnt,” Yusuf replied truthfully.
“Oh,” Ruth nodded.
“As long as she’s alive, that’s good.”
“Yes, as long as she’s alive, that’s good,” Yusuf agreed.
“Mia was called by you, right?
You even knew to have soone co and keep company.
But why do I feel like Mia wasn’t here to accompany , but to surveil ?
Also, what benefit did you offer her?
She’s been singing your praises in various ways these days.”
“No, I didn’t give her any benefits.
She said nice things about ?
Well, that’s right.
I went to Jakarta and rescued her from a bunch of rcenaries.
Wouldn’t I at least be her lifesaver?
So if she’s not praising , would she badmouth ?”
“That does seem like a plausible reason.” Ruth nodded and gave Yusuf a deep look, which made Yusuf feel nervous.
However, she did not continue speaking.
Yusuf’s scalp tingled as well.
Indeed, a smart woman like Ruth, what couldn’t she guess?
What couldn’t she see?
“Leader, any further instructions?” Seeing her silent, Yusuf got a bit anxious, so he asked proactively.
“Of course there are,” Ruth glared at him.
“Why did you beat up Herman Holloway?
You broke all his limbs!”
“Here’s what happened.
Listen to explain.” Yusuf imdiately recounted the incident to Ruth, including how Herman had spoken about his sister.
“He deserved to be beaten, but you went a bit too far.
Also, how can you be unhard after all this?” Ruth was puzzled about what sort of capabilities Yusuf had that allowed him to beat Herman Holloway yet move around freely as if nothing happened, with the authorities not apprehending him.
“Let tell you, I am now a special agent,” Yusuf whispered.
“Pfft—” Ruth laughed out loud at Yusuf’s statent and gave the back of his hand a fierce twist.
“Stop talking nonsense.
I…
I need to explain sothing about earlier.”
“Earlier?
What incident?” Yusuf asked, clearly baffled.
“About the incident in my office with little Ross.
We…
we…”
Watching her slightly annoyed and anxious expression, Yusuf was utterly captivated.
She looked especially beautiful and adorable at this mont, trying to explain her presence with a stranger in a room.
“Ruth, I love you…” Yusuf didn’t let her continue, instead pulling her into an embrace all at once.
“He ca to see , wanted to take out to dinner to catch up, but I didn’t agree.
I’m keeping my distance from him, I didn’t lie to you…” Ruth Wilcox curled up in his arms, inhaling his scent, feeling sowhat intoxicated.
She herself didn’t know what was happening to her; she really missed him desperately.
He had beco an indispensable part of her life, and she couldn’t imagine what she would be like without him.
She missed him, truly missed him!
“I know, I know,” Yusuf Zuck nodded repeatedly, proud of Ruth Wilcox’s loyalty to him because he heard it all.
“By the way, there’s sothing else,” she extricated herself from him and then said excitedly, “I’m now the acting general manager of New Century, and I also have the power to appoint and dismiss personnel.”
“Acting, huh?
When will you be permanent?” Yusuf Zuck blinked and asked.
“I don’t know about that.
The day after Herman Holloway had his incident, the company’s board found out, and then the legal departnt ca over for a eting to inform us.
I didn’t see the chairman.
I heard that the company has been acquired and there’s a new chairman.”
“Actually, I’m the chairman,” Yusuf Zuck whispered.
“Stop joking; I’m very busy right now.
Sotis I have to go to Tianjin because the hotel skyscraper there has already broken ground.”
“Do you need any help with that?”
“I need a driver…” Ruth Wilcox winked at him.
Yusuf Zuck felt a bit awkward; he really didn’t have ti to be her driver.
“I…
I have to go to Japan tonight, after the Spring Festival I need to go to Yunnan to gamble on stones, and in March, I have to return ho to Shandong.
How about this…” Yusuf Zuck thought as he spoke, “Whenever I’m in the capital, I’ll co and drive for you, but when I’m not, I’ll arrange for soone else to do it, okay?”
“Why are you so busy, even busier than ?” Ruth Wilcox complained.
“I have to make money to support the family, right?
I’m going to marry you in the future…”
Ruth Wilcox gave him a look, “In the future, you might not marry who you say…”
“Ahem, let’s change the subject,” Yusuf Zuck coughed lightly.
“Your phone is ringing,” Ruth Wilcox reminded him, because Yusuf Zuck’s phone had beeped twice with a ssage.
“It’s just a text, don’t worry about it.”
Ruth Wilcox’s face fell for a mont, then jokingly said, “Is it inconvenient?”
“How is it inconvenient, why would you start to get jealous?” Yusuf Zuck was shocked, Ruth Wilcox had actually learned to be jealous.
While he spoke, he also pulled out his phone to check the text ssage.
It was a bank notification.
Yusuf Zuck opened the ssage and saw that two large amounts of money had just been transferred to his bank account!
“Wow, that’s a lot!” He was startled with just one glance.
“What?” Since Ruth Wilcox was close to him, she could see the screen of Yusuf Zuck’s phone when she looked over.
She curiously glanced at it, then saw the contents of the text ssage!
“What…
what’s going on?” She was stunned after reading it.
“It’s a bank dividend.
I have shares in Hang Seng and HSBC, and these are the year-end dividends.
I can’t believe it’s this much!”
“What?” Hearing Yusuf Zuck’s words, Ruth Wilcox was stunned once again.
Her Yusuf Zuck, spitting Yusuf Zuck, actually had dividends from two major banks?
