Flynt Lockwood pretended to be angry and said, "Brother Yeager, if you don’t accept it, it means you don’t respect your older brother."
As such, because he admired and respected Lionel Yeager, Flynt Lockwood directly addressed him as "Little Brother."
He did this, of course, to become friends with Lionel Yeager.
It was nothing but beneficial to be friends with such a talented Divine Doctor.
"Alright, since Brother Livingston said so, I will accept it."
Lionel Yeager smiled faintly and took the check.
After that, Susan Winslet also paid Vernon Steel the 5 million reward.
Vernon Steel didn’t even look at it and casually tucked it into his pocket, then walked toward Lionel Yeager with a grin.
He rubbed his hands together and said, "Doctor Yeager, I want to discuss something with you."
Lionel Yeager glanced at Vernon Steel, feeling that the old man had ill intentions.
Vernon Steel chuckled, "Doctor Yeager, since you have accepted Mr. Hefner and Mr. Cowell as your apprentices, why not also accept me?"
Lionel Yeager was speechless, "You want to be my apprentice too?"
Vernon Steel nodded repeatedly.
Lionel Yeager pursed his lips, "I’ll consider it."
Vernon Steel laughed, "Okay, take your time. I’m not in a hurry."
At this moment, Flynt Lockwood looked at the time and said, "Everyone, it’s already over 4 PM now.
Later, I’ll invite everyone to dinner, and I hope everyone will grace me with their presence."
Bill Sheehan looked at Lionel Yeager and laughed, "Doctor Yeager, we didn’t finish our drinks last time, so we have to make up for it this time, right?"
Lionel Yeager nodded, "However, I need to go to East Beauty Pharmaceuticals first to pick up my fiancé and Miss Maddox."
Flynt Lockwood laughed and waved his hand, "No problem, the more, the merrier!"
Then, Lionel Yeager and his party left the villa and drove straight to East Beauty Pharmaceuticals...
In a desolate mountain forest in East Nation.
The area was picturesque, with clear water and abundant spiritual energy.
At this moment, in a cave, an old Taoist dressed in a black robe with a beard was cultivating.
The old Taoist suddenly opened his eyes, his face flushed red, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
He clutched his chest and gritted his teeth, roaring, "Who?! Who is it?!
Who could break the ’Mysterious Doctor Gatherer’s Curse’ that I laid down?! And even harm me?!"
With an angry roar, terrifying black Evil Qi howled out from his body!
The surrounding mountain walls were blasted with holes, and rocks were heavily corroded!
A dense killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he snarled, "Don’t let me find you; otherwise, I will tear you into pieces!"
East Beauty Pharmaceuticals.
Early this morning, the Administration for Industry and Commerce sent someone to inspect East Beauty Pharmaceuticals’ files and materials during this period.
Therefore, Julia Stewart arrived at the company early in the morning to cooperate with the inspection alongside the employees.
In the President’s Office.
A middle-aged man with a receding hairline and a chubby figure sat with his legs crossed, leisurely sipping tea and looking at a document.
This middle-aged man was the team leader in charge of the inspection, Alan West.
Julia Stewart, Nancy Maddox, and Silvia Warren sat quietly nearby.
When Alan West finished reading a document, Julia Stewart said, "Team Leader West, as I said, our company has always abided by the law, and there are no problems."
Since Alan West and his team arrived, they had been staying here for a day, keeping the company’s employees busy and severely affecting the company’s normal operations.
So, she was quite upset, but couldn’t say much. She just hoped Alan West could leave as soon as possible.
Alan West smacked his lips and said, "President Stewart, don’t worry. Once we finish our inspection, we will leave naturally.
Besides, think about it. Your company is so big, and there’s so many company files. How can we finish inspecting them all in one day?
So, I’ll be coming again tomorrow.
You don’t have to worry about me, just go about your business."
Julia Stewart was left speechless.
Not only did they inspect for one day, but they were also coming back tomorrow to continue inspecting?
This was clearly intentional harassment.
The key thing was that she hadn’t offended Alan West.
Could it be Silas Jordan’s doing?
Thinking of this, Julia Stewart’s face turned cold.
It seemed that Silas Jordan couldn’t wait to suppress East Beauty Pharmaceuticals.
All the more she had to withstand this.
Nancy Maddox couldn’t take it anymore and spoke up: "Team Leader Wang, what you’re doing will affect the normal operation of East Beauty Pharmaceuticals. Isn’t this inappropriate?"
Alan West waved his hand and said, "Miss Maddox, what are you talking about? I’m doing this to facilitate the normal operation of East Beauty Pharmaceuticals in the future.
Moreover, it’s just a few days of inspection. It won’t have much impact on East Beauty Pharmaceuticals."
After saying that, Alan West turned to look at Julia Stewart and asked, "President Stewart, do you have any coffee here?"
Julia Stewart shook her head.
Alan West said, "I really want to drink some coffee. How about this, I’ll leave with my people once I finish drinking the coffee, OK?"
"Please wait a moment."
Julia Stewart immediately called Sunny Tolkien over.
"President Stewart, what can I do for you?"
Sunny Tolkien asked a question.
Julia Stewart said, "Sunny, go buy some coffee quickly."
"Yes, President Stewart!"
Sunny Tolkien looked at Alan West without saying much and left the office.
Two black Audis came from a distance and stopped at the entrance of the company.
The car doors opened, and Lionel Yeager, Flynt Lockwood, Bill Sheehan, Vernon Steel, and Susan Winslet got out of the car.
As soon as Lionel Yeager and the others entered the hall, they saw Sunny Tolkien coming out of the elevator, rushing toward them.
Lionel Yeager called out.
Sunny Tolkien was stunned and said, "President Stewart said you were on vacation. Why did you come to the company?"
"Oh, I’m here to pick up President Stewart from work."
Lionel Yeager replied, then asked, "Assistant Tolkien, you seem to be in a hurry. What are you going to do?"
Sunny Tolkien helplessly said, "I’m going to buy some coffee."
Lionel Yeager looked puzzled, "Is President Stewart going to entertain some guests?"
Sunny Tolkien looked worried and said, "Yes, she’s entertaining guests, but this guest is very special.
Assistant Yeager, you have no idea. Today, the whole company was in chaos, and President Stewart was almost fed up."
Lionel Yeager frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Sunny Tolkien didn’t hide anything and told Lionel Yeager about what happened in the company today.
After listening to Sunny Tolkien’s words, Lionel Yeager hadn’t spoken yet when Bill Sheehan spoke up first, "What the hell is Alan West doing? Is he idle with nothing to do? Why would he come to someone else’s company to cause trouble!"
Flynt Lockwood teased, "Old Bill, this is your problem. How did you teach your subordinates? How could they come to someone else’s company to cause trouble?"
Bill Sheehan’s face turned red.
