Edward Ford woke up again with a blank all around him, half reacting to the fact that he was lying inside the hotel, Roger Scott was long gone, and had no idea when he had gotten drunk, let alone when he had returned.
“Mmm.”
He patted his head, which ached violently from the hangover, and was about to fumble for his phone when his assistant appeared coldly in front of him with a look of joy.
The sudden change of expression made him sink, “What’s wrong?”
“President Ford, that document you handed in yesterday made our bid for the piece of land in S City go through!” The assistant said happily, “The board of directors are all very happy now, and all their previous complaints have gone away.”
“Really!?”
“How could I lie to you?” The assistant joked, perhaps too happy to be bold.
Apparently Edward Ford didn’t care about the words therein either and jerked up the covers.
The assistant hurriedly handed over the sober tea, and that thoughtful gesture made Edward Ford sweep him a suspicious glance, “I don’t usually see you ready, why are you so understanding today?”
“This ……”
The assistant had a flash of embarrassment and was looked at for a moment before he said, “Actually, I didn’t do it, it was Jacob who contacted me after you met him yesterday after drinking with Mr Scott and he dropped you off here and asked me to prepare sober tea for you before he left …… ”
At the end of his sentence, he couldn’t help but lower his head a little in guilt.
It was clear that he was Edward Ford’s assistant, he just didn’t think as much about it as he did.
Edward Ford snapped out of it, took a sip of his sobriety tea and slammed it back down on the table, “I knew you didn’t have that in mind! After all, you wouldn’t have thought of it if someone hadn’t reminded you.”
“I’m sorry President Ford ……”
All right!” Edward Ford had known about his carelessness and didn’t take it to heart, “Go and get me a new set of clothes, I’m going to the office now.”
“This was already prepared, it’s in the bathroom, just change when you go in and shower.” The assistant immediately took over the conversation.
Edward Ford’s suspicious eyes fell on him and couldn’t help but say, “Did Jacob tell you this too?”
“I ……”
The assistant was speechless for a moment, he didn’t want to admit it, he was just too distraught to do so, so the answer was obvious.
Edward Ford gave him a deep look and went straight inside the bathroom, not looking at him again.
As he watched the bathroom door close, the assistant felt relieved and could not help but think that he could not hide anything from him …… for example, now, there was nothing he could do, let alone dare to lie in front of him.
On the other hand, he also can’t help but admire Jacob, his work is not worse than Jacob, but that life everywhere in the careful, but he will never be as good.
There was another long sigh of relief ……
Logan Brown was naturally the first to know about the Ford Group’s benefits, and Jacob sat down in front of him and slowly told him all about it.
“The Ford Group has the land in S City and the plans now, so I’m sure construction should start in a few days.”
“Hmm.” Logan Brown nodded slightly, “Edward Ford is no fool, it would be a waste not to make use of such a good resource.”
Jacob couldn’t help but mutter in his mind, “There are many ways to get Edward Ford to trust me, why should we give that piece of land away?”
That piece of land is hot right now, and even if it changes hands afterwards there will be a lot of people coveting it, do the sacrifices need to be that big?
“Acting is all about seriousness, how can you work together if you don’t show some sincerity?”
Jacob was then shocked to realise that he had inadvertently said what he had in mind already.
Logan Brown glanced at him, “It’s normal for you to regret, after all, the benefits are not low, what’s more, letting Edward Ford benefit now will only make the road after us more difficult, but that’s why I need you …… ”
That one gaze suddenly sizzled with unmistakable sharpness.
Jacob drifted off and nodded, “Don’t worry sir, I will not let you down.”
“What about the hospital?” The man closed his eyes slightly.
He hadn’t seen her or the baby for two days, and even though he knew they were safe and sound he couldn’t help but miss them.
At his words, Jacob then spoke the news he had received, “Both Madam and the young master are healthy, plus Edward Ford has come in with a somewhat different attitude recently, so Madam has suffered less and has been recuperating in the hospital.”
“Hmm.”
“Also, Jeff is already on his way here and says he wants to catch up with Mr. Other than that, it’s about Mr. Scott going to the hospital every day, and Edward Ford hasn’t stopped it despite his discontent.”
Logan Brown hooked his lips into a smile,”It seems I was right in guessing that Edward Ford, even if he’s not happy, won’t do anything after all, for Elena’s sake and for the sake of his friendship with Uncle Roger for so many years.”
Jacob nodded, “So do I need to arrange a meeting with you and the missus?”
“No need.” Logan Brown shook his head, “What’s the point of going to meet, it’ll just make you feel more indebted to her.”
He just hoped that the next time he met her, it would be when he could pick her up. ……
Jacob gave him a deep look and quickly withdrew his gaze, “Yes, sir.”
Logan Brown rubbed the spot on his temples, getting a slight headache, “Go ahead and go out, Jeff will call me when he gets here.”
“Good.”
Jacob knew he hadn’t been resting well for a while and didn’t bother him much, but added as he left, “Sir, George Brown also contacted me last night, saying he was a bit worried about not hearing from you and the missus for a long time, so you should call him back when you’re free.”
Logan Brown was stunned for a moment, then responded, “I understand.”
He hadn’t contacted anyone at the Browns since he had left H City, it wasn’t that George Brown hadn’t tried to contact him, he just didn’t have the energy to deal with it after all, and it had fallen through after that.
Unexpectedly, George Brown has even contacted Jacob, presumably, also because he was too capricious.
“Duh.”
“Hello? Logan!”
George Brown forgot his worries when he received the call, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
Logan Brown looked slightly relieved and raised his lips slightly, “Grandpa, it’s me.”
“Logan ……” George Brown’s voice almost choked with emotion, “You, are you okay these days?”
George Brown asked cautiously, the look made Logan Brown imagine it and couldn’t help the heartache.
