Claire smiled bitterly, afraid of being caught by Charlie, so she sighed and said, “Ah, things are getting busier towards the end of the year, but tomorrow is the company’s last working day. We will be holding an annual dinner party tomorrow night, so I won’t be back for dinner.”
Elaine Ma immediately said: “Claire, we will leave early the day after tomorrow, will your company still be operating tomorrow?”
Claire nodded dully and said, “There’s a lot of work before the New Year, so I paid everyone overtime. I hope everyone will work harder. I’ll go back to work as soon as we get back from the Maldives.”
Charlie and his team’s trip to the Maldives this time only lasted five days and four nights. Normally, a company would have at least eight to ten days off for Chinese New Year. Claire had to go back to work, which meant she only had five days off for New Year.
Charlie said with some annoyance: “Wife, is the company very busy lately? If not, please reduce the order.”
Claire smiled faintly, with a bit of bitterness in her smile, and said: “We are not accepting new orders now, but we still need to speed up the progress of old orders and not delay Party A’s work.”
Charlie said: “Most of your orders are from the Emgrand Group, right? I am quite familiar with their Vice President, Doris Wang. Do you want me to greet them for you and ask them not to rush?”
Claire felt even worse.
After meeting Stephen Tang, I realized how many lies Charlie needed to maintain his daily life.
The Emgrand Group is not only owned by the Wade family, but was also specially purchased by the Wade family and given to Charlie.
All this time, he regarded Doris Wang as the greatest benefactor in his career, but who would have thought that this benefactor was actually just Charlie’s mouthpiece. All the conveniences given to him by the Emgrand Group were secretly controlled by Charlie behind the scenes.
The Emgrand Group project would definitely not be completed before February 2nd. At that time, I didn’t know whether I should leave a message to apologize to Doris Wang or to Charlie, the real boss.
This also made Claire feel a little frustrated.
I used to think that it was because I had good work ability and was recognized by big businessmen, so everyone gave me orders and cooperation. Now I think that even if my work ability is poor, with Mrs. Wade’s support, these people will continue to support me.
This is also a big blow for Claire, who wants to be a strong woman and help Charlie retire early.
Seeing Claire standing there stupidly, Charlie asked her, “What are you thinking about, honey? Do you want me to tell Vice President Wang of the Emgrand Group?”
“Ah…” Claire came back to her senses, waved her hand and said, “No, no, it’s embarrassing to always trouble others. I’ll make reasonable arrangements and take care of everything.”
After saying that, she didn’t dare to face Charlie again, for fear that Charlie would find out, so she said, “I’ll go upstairs and pack my luggage first. We’re going to have a dinner party tomorrow night, and I’m afraid I won’t have time when I come back.”
Charlie immediately stood up: “Then I will help you clean up.”
“No need.” Claire tidied her hair unnaturally and said, “You can chat with my parents for a while. They haven’t been home for a long time.”
Jacob also said quickly at this time: “Yes, good son-in-law, I have always wanted to chat with you. President Pei told me today that he wants to level up and see if he can help me level up too. When do you have free time, let’s invite Master Orvel to have a meal together?”
Charlie smiled and asked him: “How is President Pei doing lately?”
“Very good.” Jacob chuckled and said, “This old man has really learned to be kind. Even though I have been demoted, he is more polite to me when he sees me.”
Charlie nodded and said, “Wait until I come back from the Maldives, I will find time to discuss it with Orvel.”
Jacob said happily: “That’s great! Thank you, my good son-in-law!”
When Claire who was climbing the stairs heard this, Orvel’s somewhat fierce face appeared in her mind.
When I was in school, I had heard of Master Orvel. He was definitely a well-known figure in Aurous Hill, had connections in the underworld and was a respectable godfather. However, he was a big shot who, not long after the Emgrand Group was acquired by the Wade family, began to kowtow to Charlie and flatter him as Master Wade. Now that I think about it, Master Orvel must have known Charlie’s identity for a long time, so he was so polite and respectful to him.
When my mother was cheated by P2P and my father became the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, it was all because of Teacher Orvel’s help. Now it seems that it is all because of the face of Charlie, the young master of the Wade family.
All this time, Charlie had been secretly taking care of his family of three too much, which made Claire feel very embarrassed.
She whispered in her heart: “Charlie, all this time, thank you for taking care of our family and considering us in everything. In the future, it will be our turn to consider you…”
