"To just thank you. If you have time, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Okay!" Preston was as happy as a child, because Jessica wanted to treat him to a meal. He was so happy.
Jessica's work was also on track, and she soon joined the crew.
Although Preston was an investor, he didn't go to the set at all. So, the director would send him some highlights every day.
The director went online and knew that he was Jessica's boyfriend, and thought Jessica's boyfriend was really amazing, as he was actually able to take over all the investors.
……
Hurley still went out every day. After the New Year, the nets he had set before began to be collected.
The first month passed, and Hurley's career began to get back on track.
Eddie really couldn't control that technology and had already returned it to Hurley.
Although it was the beginning of the year, the atmosphere in Walton Corporation was not very high, and the projects were not showing any improvement, and there were fewer and fewer projects.
There were fewer projects, so there was no need for so many worker, so Eddie fired a large number of people from the company.
Of course, these layoffs were all suggested by the department heads. After Eddie glanced at them, he let them handle them.
Many people were laid off after the New Year, and they didn't even receive the year-end bonus.
When Eddie settled down, he realized that at some point, a group of small businesses sprung up like mushrooms after the rain. Unknowingly, those small businesses were doing very well.
By the time Eddie noticed it, it seemed like it was already too late, because those companies had taken away several projects from Walton Corporation.
When Eddie wanted to investigate these companies, he realized that they all had one thing in common, which was that the decision-makers were very decisive and smart, never dragging their feet.
These behaviors reminded Eddie of someone, Hurley.
That was impossible.
Wasn't Hurley doing nothing lately, he only thought that he was blinded by that Sophie, but why was he doing so much behind his back?
After further investigation, Eddie found that many of the happenings in Walton Corporation were Chris's handiwork.
On the other hand, Chris also resigned at the beginning of the New Year and didn't even ask for the year-end bonus.
Chris had been working in Walton Corporation for long time and knew all about Walton Corporation's projects, but now, these projects were all owned by another company.
Later, Eddie went to talk to the people in these companies separately, only to find out that their companies had already been acquired.
It was self-evident who made the acquisition.
Only then did Eddie realize that Hurley was playing a game of chess that was so big that he could not even imagine it. He was not even aware of it.
Hurley looked like he was doing nothing, but he had already penetrated various industries.
They were all insignificant and inconspicuous companies, but under Hurley's control, they were all gathered together. This way, Hurley could start all over again at any time. The point was, it only took such a short period of time for him. That's all.
His son was truly terrifying.
Hurley had already found an office. He was rich and powerful, so he bought several buildings in different locations in the capital.
The office had already started work. After Chris resigned, he went directly to Hurley.
Hurley was generous and gave Chris a lot of shares.
This company could be said to be wholly owned by Hurley, and all the top executives were personally handpicked by Hurley, so they were all rest assured.
When Eddie investigated Hurley, he realized that Hurley's foundation had been stabilized, and he was not afraid to be investigated.
Eddie called Hurley and arranged to meet him.
Hurley had been busy for the past few days and would only have time next week.
Seeing that it was Eddie's call, Hurley didn't answer it and hung up directly.
He's been busy lately, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Eddie.
Although Hurley was very busy, he still went to the praying centre.
After more than a month, he finally got Sophie a gift.
When he got home at night, Hurley pulled Sophie over and said, "Sophie, I have a gift for you."
"What gift?" Sophie looked at Hurley mysteriously.
Hurley took out a box, opened it, and inside was a protection pendant.
"I asked for this from the praying centre. It wards off bad luck and brings peace." Hurley took out the pendant and personally put it on Sophie's neck.
However, the rope on the pendant seemed to be a bit long, reaching Sophie's chest.
"Just wear it like this, don't take it off." Hurley looked at Sophie wearing this pendant, which matched her very well.
He didn't tell Sophie that there was something he could not shake for more than a month, and he prayed sincerely every day.
This was his sincerity and love, and nothing else could replace it.
"Why did you suddenly give me this? And when did you ask for it?" Sophie looked down at the pendant, which looked quite interesting.
Hurley said, "I asked just two days ago."
"Then I will definitely wear it." Sophie didn't know the meaning of this pendant, but knowing that Hurley had deliberately gone to the praying centre to get it made her happy.
"Thank you, Mr. Walton!" Sophie tiptoed, hooked Hurley's neck, and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"You didn't ask for one for yourself?" Sophie couldn't help it, and then asked.
"I will go later when I have time."
It would take more time to get another one, so Hurley chose to get one for Sophie first.
If he had more time in the future, he would ask for more for the children too.
In Hurley's heart, the most important person was Sophie, then his grandmother and children, and finally, himself.
Sophie was the most important person. He had promised to protect her.
Sophie didn't think too much about it. She just kept wearing the pendant, and she really liked it.
……
After several more days, Hurley finally had time and agreed to meet with Eddie.
The meeting place was a coffee shop. When Hurley arrived, Eddie had already arrived.
Eddie had already ordered coffee for Hurley. It was a cup of espresso, so bitter that it made people tongue tingle.
Hurley didn't drink, but called the waiter, "Please help me add some milk, thank you."
Eddie saw Hurley's actions and said, "I remember you used to only drink black coffee, which can refresh you and allow you to think more focusedly."
"The past is the past, people's habits and tastes change. Not to mention, how much do you know me?"
In the past, Hurley really liked to drink the bitterest wine, it was indeed refreshing.
But later, when making coffee for him at night, knowing that he doesn't like sweet things, Sophie didn't put sugar in it, but added some milk.
That kind of coffee had a different taste. Later, Hurley got used to it and started adding some milk to his coffee.
Eddie was speechless, and Hurley said directly, "Why did you call me out? My time is precious."
"Okay!" Preston was as happy as a child, because Jessica wanted to treat him to a meal. He was so happy.
Jessica's work was also on track, and she soon joined the crew.
Although Preston was an investor, he didn't go to the set at all. So, the director would send him some highlights every day.
