At first, she was stunned, but then the face of Director Johnson was filled with smiles, and she said in a charming voice: "Avery, why are you here?" She walked over to Avery Blake’s side as she spoke.
At this moment, Peter Brown also sensed that something was amiss and asked Chase White: "Chase, what’s going on?"
"Nothing, it’s all good now."
Chase White didn’t want to cause trouble for Peter Brown.
"You’re Peter Brown, right? I am Nora’s mother. Peter, please tell me, what did Nora and Chase do wrong? When we were preparing for the wedding, Director Johnson came to inform us that they had been fired. This is clearly an attempt to humiliate us."
Nora’s mother was also a formidable figure. Seeing that Avery Blake had arrived with Peter Brown, she took the opportunity to talk about the matter.
Not only Peter Brown, but all the people who came looked at Avery Blake as well.
Avery Blake couldn’t keep his composure anymore, and he looked at the woman and asked in a deep voice, "What’s going on?"
"What do you mean, what’s going on? They were both incompetent; I fired both of them."
Director Johnson wasn’t happy.
"Why didn’t you discuss with me before firing them haphazardly?"
"Avery, either way, I informed them, and they can’t work for the company anymore. That’s what Josh wants!" She concluded and dragged the young man out as well.
Seeing the young man appear, Avery Blake’s expression became complicated, and he began to hesitate.
At this point, Peter Brown had figured out some of the situation. The woman had an ambiguous relationship with Avery Blake, and the young man, who was rumored to be Director Johnson’s son, could very well be Avery Blake’s son.
Seeing Chase White and Nora’s angry faces, and considering Avery Blake’s hesitation, Peter Brown’s face darkened. He said to Chase White, "Chase, you should know better. It’s just a worker’s job. Perfect timing, actually. I’m planning to open a stone material company. You don’t have to work for them anymore. You and Nora should manage it for me and you’ll be the manager."
After saying this, he smiled and said to the people following him, "Folks, when I start my stone material company, you’d better support me."
Daniel Pangbourne glanced at Avery Blake and snorted, "Fine, I just got in touch with Stone Lake Stoneworks about some renovation materials, and I’ll give the order to your company as long as you get started."
Several other bosses also chimed in, "Don’t worry, we all have a huge demand. We’ll definitely support you when the time comes."
Reuben Taylor looked at Avery Blake and snorted, "Mr. Harrison...Mr. Morris...very good...very good..."
Reuben Taylor realized that Avery Blake was very protective of the woman. If he had any sense, he should have immediately supported Peter Brown, but to his surprise, he hesitated. In front of so many people, this was nothing short of letting them all down.
For a moment, the distance between these people and Avery Blake widened.
"Peter, what did you say?"
Chase White couldn’t figure out Peter Brown’s thoughts.
Peter laughed and replied, "What can I say? It’s just a stone material company. I plan to invest some money, and when the time comes, I will be in charge of management and sales. All the CEOs here are also supportive, so I believe the company will grow."
As he said this, he looked at Nora and said, "Sister-in-law, I don’t have any special gifts for you, so I can only give you something more common - a BMW car, I hope you like it."
He then pointed at a new car that had just arrived, handed over a bunch of keys, and pointed at another boss, saying, "Director_Wei is in the car sales business, so the paperwork has been done. All you need to do is sign a document."
At this time, a woman who came with them handed Nora some documents, and she signed them in a daze.
Everyone who saw this was astonished, giving away a BMW as a gift, who were these people?!
"Peter, no, no, no!" Chase White waved his hands hastily.
Peter Brown’s face sank, and he said to Chase White, "Don’t refuse. It’s a happy day. I’ll start the company soon, and you’ll help me earn more money."
"Brother Chase, I’m Reuben Taylor, Peter’s friend. Twenty thousand yuan, a small token of my appreciation." Reuben Taylor handed him two stacks of money.
Chase White was a little bewildered.
"Brother Chase, I’m Daniel Pangbourne. Congratulations!" Daniel Pangbourne also handed him two stacks of money - it was another twenty thousand yuan.
With the sudden influx of forty thousand yuan in his hands, Chase White didn’t know what to do.
Peter Brown smiled and said, "Find something to hold the money, Chase. It’s a lot!"
Chase White’s father hurriedly took out a bag and put the money in it.
At this time, Charles Carter also congratulated Chase White and handed him another twenty thousand yuan.
All the people who arrived were bosses. Seeing that they had all given so much money, they also came prepared - some gave as much as twenty thousand yuan, and others ten thousand. Over a hundred people shook Chase White’s hand and handed over the money one by one.
They all knew that they had made a fortune from Peter Brown’s Elixirs, and through these means, they paid off some of their debt to him.
In the beginning, Chase White’s father was collecting the money in a bag. Next, his mother joined and eventually, his sister Kate Brown also got involved. The three of them collected the money with trepidation.
Nora’s mother stood there with her eyes wide open. She roughly estimated that Chase White had received about 1.5 million dollars in gift money, plus a BMW car for her daughter. This was beyond her wildest expectations.
Her daughter and son-in-law worked in a stone factory, earning less than 2,000 yuan a month. Now, they had suddenly become millionaires. What kind of business did Peter Brown have, and how capable was he?!
At this point, Avery Blake hesitated for a moment, then walked over and took out twenty thousand yuan. However, Peter Brown said, "Mr. Harrison, you don’t need to. We won’t have any contact in the future, so please keep your money."
Avery Blake’s face showed embarrassment, "I really didn’t know about this."
Reuben Taylor said, "Knowing or not knowing doesn’t matter anymore. Anyway, Chase White will be in charge of a stone material company, so you guys will have some competition."
Avery Blake became anxious at this point, knowing that his hesitation just now had offended too many people, not only Peter Brown but also likely the entire county because of Reuben Taylor’s connections. This would make things difficult for his company. He hurriedly said, "CEO Wang, I’m now inviting Chase White to serve as the deputy manager of our factory."
Daniel Pangbourne snorted, "He’s already a manager now, what’s the point of being your crappy manager?"
Avery Blake stood there, looking even more embarrassed, knowing that it was his hesitation that had caused all this. In his heart, he cursed the Johnson family mother and son.
"Chase, this is Manager Gray from the bank. You should deposit your money there. Holding onto money is not good."
The bank manager quickly smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Mr. Huang. I’ll immediately send someone to deposit the money."
Chase White was now feeling a little disoriented. He was overwhelmed by the sudden happiness, and it felt surreal.
