537: Chapter 536: The Spring of the Pillar 537: Chapter 536: The Spring of the Pillar “The likelihood of the Wilcox Family selling off is slim, because the court has already intervened, and it’s in the investigative phase, so private transfers aren’t allowed,” Ruth Wilcox said with distress.
“Alright, don’t panic.
Even if we lose everything, I won’t let you go back, and besides, we might not even lose,” Yusuf Zuck comforted her.
“I’m going to Hong Kong tomorrow to see my sister, and I’ll be back the day after.
When I return, I’ll et with the Ross Family and your grandfather.”
“I’ve brought you so much trouble…” Ruth Wilcox’s eyes reddened.
“It was my trouble to begin with, right?
When I was acquiring the Wilcox Family business, you had no clue, and it had nothing to do with you.
Plus, we might not necessarily lose.
Let use your computer for a bit.” Yusuf Zuck walked around the desk to Ruth Wilcox’s side and then squeezed himself into the chair next to her.
“What are you doing…” Ruth Wilcox didn’t stand up, rely shifting a little to make room.
“I asked soone to help with an investigation.” Yusuf Zuck said as he sat down at the computer and opened his own email.
He was quite clumsy with his hands and only familiar with playing CrossFire on the computer; beyond that, he just read novels and was pretty much clueless about anything else.
“Type for , in English,” Yusuf Zuck signaled.
“Whose email is this?” Ruth Wilcox asked curiously.
“A friend’s,” Yusuf Zuck said.
“Type like this…”
“Dear Miss Elena, please do a favor…”
Ruth Wilcox gave Yusuf Zuck a peculiar look but typed it out in English nonetheless.
“The Chinese Wilcox Family from Los Angeles has allied with the Ross Family to sue Tianyi Investnt Company in China, in the local court.
Your task now is to investigate which court they filed the lawsuit in, find out the presiding judge and the jury, and then, using your charm and my money, secure them.
This task is of great importance.
I hope that by the ti the court opens, Tianyi Investnt will win the case, or there will be a direct dismissal of the trial, because the court is investigating the authenticity of a malicious acquisition.
You can help them reach the conclusion that there was no malicious acquisition.”
“Beautiful Elena, Angel Mister misses you a lot.
When you have a chance to co to China, I’ll treat you to Chinese food.
Awaiting your reply!”
“Send…” Yusuf Zuck said with a smile, indicating for Ruth Wilcox to send the email.
“Who is this Elena girl?” Ruth Wilcox pinched his waist.
“A widow, a mber of the mafia, now working for , building my network in the United States.
She’s pretty competent, but don’t worry, she’s a widow who brings bad luck to n, so I keep my distance!”
“Who would believe that…
flirting around.” Ruth Wilcox spoke coldly, then, “Get down, stand on the other side.
Who allowed you to sit here?”
“Heh, I was wrong, my mistake.” Yusuf Zuck imdiately ran to the opposite side of the desk, with a playfully sheepish expression.
“Wasn’t I the one who asked Sara to bring this file over?
Why did you bring it here?
I’m telling you, co to our office less often!” Ruth Wilcox said with a cold face.
“Yes, yes, I’ll rember that.”
“When you go to Hong Kong, say hello to Sara for .”
“Yes, yes…”
“Now leave, don’t disturb my work.”
“Yes, yes, then I’ll go now, and I’ll be back the day after tomorrow.” Yusuf Zuck nodded repeatedly, thinking how quickly this woman’s mood changed; she was just playfully pinching him monts ago, and now she had turned all serious.
Ruth Wilcox lowered her head and began to sign docunts, while Yusuf Zuck didn’t dare to provoke her further and carefully made his way out.
“Wait, co back.” As he reached the door, Ruth Wilcox suddenly looked up and said, “Stand there, don’t move.”
“Yes, yes, Ms.
Wilcox, do you have any other instructions?”
Ruth Wilcox seed too lazy to answer him and stood up to go to the bedroom temporarily set up for rest.
Then she ca back holding two paper packages.
“Go inside and put these on.
Didn’t Miles O’Brien buy you clothes to change into?
Look at your shirt, it’s all dirty.
And how co you don’t even have a watch on your wrist?
Hurry up and change, don’t disgrace .”
“Roger that.” Yusuf Zuck snapped to attention, and then scampered off to the temporary bedroom.
Ruth Wilcox couldn’t help but feel amused, even though she had indeed been angry just monts before.
The thought of Yusuf Zuck possibly having other won bothered her greatly, but seeing how cautious and gentle he was in front of her, her heart softened.
She was conflicted within herself.
A mont later, Yusuf Zuck erged dressed in new clothes and shoes.
Since it was August, he wore only a short-sleeved T-shirt on top and jeans below.
He also put on a watch, though Yusuf Zuck didn’t understand the brand; it was in English letters.
“Turn around, let have a look,” Ruth Wilcox said, seated on a swivel chair, holding a pen, and thoroughly sizing up Yusuf Zuck like an art piece.
Yusuf Zuck turned around imdiately.
“Tuck your T-shirt into your pants when you go out, carry a bag, clean your leather shoes when they get dusty, trim your nails including the little finger’s, what kind of man digs his nose all the ti?”
“You don’t need to cut your hair; long hair actually looks pretty handso on you.”
“Don’t stuff your pockets; it spoils the look.”
“Rember, you are now the chairman of Tianyi Investnt, and you are also my…
well, you look good enough now, a hundred tis better than that little Ross.
You can go now!” Ruth Wilcox told Yusuf Zuck to get lost with a laugh after seeing that his T-shirt was neatly tucked in.
“What am I to you?” Yusuf Zuck playfully ran over to the desk and asked.
Ruth Wilcox’s face turned red, “Nothing, just go now, quickly.”
“My underwear is still on your bed…” Yusuf Zuck pointed towards the room.
“I know, you don’t have to tell , I’ll take it and wash it.
Try to shower once a day; it’s not like there isn’t hot water at ho, got it?”
“Got it, Yes!” Yusuf Zuck saluted and then, suddenly circumventing the desk and catching Ruth Wilcox off guard, he embraced her tightly and planted a big kiss on her.
“Mmm…
mmm…
wait…” She tried to speak and her hands were hitting him constantly, but she was quickly overwheld by Yusuf Zuck.
After what felt like an eternity, Yusuf Zuck finally released her and she slumped, saying, “You thug, you have to brush your teeth ten tis a day from now on!”
“Okay, can I leave now?” Yusuf Zuck asked in a low voice.
“Why wouldn’t you leave?
What will it look like if soone sees us later?
And rember, what I said earlier is true, you shouldn’t always co running here, it doesn’t look good if others see you, and don’t sneak into Leigh’s office either, got it?”
“Got it, got it, from now on I’ll be slinking into your villa, I’m leaving!” Yusuf Zuck cheerfully ran out.
Ruth Wilcox quickly straightened her clothes, which were all in disarray.
That scumbag, if he wanted to kiss, just kiss, but why did he have to grope around!
When Yusuf Zuck reached the ground floor, he spotted a driver sitting in the lobby reading the newspaper; he was now Ruth Wilcox’s personal chauffeur.
“Boss, wipe your mouth,” said the driver, giving Yusuf Zuck a look.
“Huh?” Yusuf Zuck was taken aback.
The driver couldn’t help but laugh, “You’ve got lipstick on.”
“Damn it, I like it that way, can you kiss soone too?” Yusuf Zuck said proudly.
“Really?” the driver gestured towards the cashier at the front desk, then whispered, “We’re going out for a buffet tonight.”
Yusuf Zuck looked back, only to see the cashier quickly duck her head down!
“Haha, now that’s sothing!
Driver, looks like your spring has arrived!” Yusuf Zuck remarked in surprise.
“She asked out first,” the driver shrugged nonchalantly.
