Chapter 144 - 144 Used for Research
144 Used for Research
Vivian used to be skinny and sallow in the village, but she looked completely different now. Simon didn’t recognize her at first glance. He thought that Leon had managed to hook up with a beautiful rich woman with his looks and was living a good life. He planned to look for her and bask in her glory!
Simon’s plan was very good. He wanted to follow them and then find a place to stay. Unfortunately, they had a car and he only had two legs now. He could only watch them leave.
When he recalled the time when he was stabbed by Leon, Simon’s teeth itched with hatred.
On Sunday, Vivian wanted to sleep in, but at around 10 o’clock, her phone rang and woke her up.
With her eyes closed, Vivian reached out and touched the nightstand a few times. She picked up the phone with her eyes half-open and answered the call. “Hello, I’m Vivian.”
Vivian was in a half-awake state, but her voice was completely awake, and no one could hear anything strange.
“Hello, Ms. Vivian, I’m Jobs.”
Vivian smiled when she heard the man introduce himself. Although she had been waiting for a long time, at least she got what she wanted. “Mr. Jobs, have you thought about it?” she asked.
Jobs ‘deep voice sounded again. “Yes, thank you for giving me this opportunity.”
Jobs paused for a moment. He mustered up a lot of courage and continued, “There are some things I have to tell you. Since you can call my name, you must know a little about me. You should know that I’m currently bankrupt, right? And you’re being chased for debt?”
Vivian’s half-opened eyes slowly opened. “You mean the debt collection from that partner of yours?”
Jobs’ mouth twitched as he explained, “Not this one. The business was done in a partnership, and the purchase of that raw stone was also a joint decision between him and me. It’s impossible for me to pay for the losses and share the profits. I won’t admit to being chased from a debt collector because of him.”
“I’ve already gone to my partner’s house and explained everything. I have the contract with me, so I’m not afraid to speak it out. I tolerated them before because my partner passed away. I didn’t notice his strange behavior in time and felt very guilty, but I can’t take responsibility that doesn’t belong to me just because of my guilt.”
“I did owe the suppliers some money. I sold some of my family’s valuable things to pay off a portion of the debt. This month, I’m going to talk to the creditors about the debt. I don’t want them to find the company and threaten the company. It’ll be bad if the company is affected.”
When Vivian heard this, she admired Jobs even more. He was responsible but not a saint and had a clear mind.
She did take a fancy to Jobs’ talent in stone gambling and wanted to use his ability to cover up her golden finger. However, he would be of great use if he was calm and comprehensive in dealing with things. Vivian would also give him a chance to take charge.
Everyone made mistakes, and she was willing to be the one who provided help in the nick of time. “Do you mind telling me the final result of the negotiation?”
Jobs was stunned. “Currently, there are two suppliers that have yet to be paid. I have already negotiated with them to pay them within a year. In total, we will have to pay 980 dollars every month.”
In an era where an ordinary salary was around 500 Yuan, Jobs’ monthly repayment amount was already very high. In addition, he had to raise a sick daughter.
“Are you sure I’ll pay you more than 980 dollars salary?” Vivian asked, raising an eyebrow.
Jobs ‘voice was firm and powerful. “If you don’t now, then I’ll work hard to show you my value.”
The corners of Vivian’s mouth curved up. “Okay, you can be the General Manager of my jewelry company. I’ll give you a monthly salary of 980 Yuan. If you can create more profits for me than I expect, I’ll definitely give you a raise. I’m never stingy with people who have the ability!”
After the two of them agreed to meet on Monday, they hung up the phone. Vivian left a message on Wesley’s pager and asked him to arrange for someone to register a jewelry company tomorrow morning. The name would be Gold and Jade Jewelry.
The last time Vivian went to buy about 128 raw stones, she had already thought about starting a jewelry business.
After all, it would be a waste if she did not use her cheat, but her shortcoming was a lack of theoretical knowledge. Although she had been cramming for a while and could still find good goods every time. It was difficult for people not to notice such a success rate.
There were many smart people in the world, and if someone really saw through her, Vivian was worried that she would be kidnapped and cut into pieces for research!
That day was as if someone giving her a pillow when she was sleepy1. She had just treated Jack and Matthew to a meal and met such a suitable candidate. So, Vivian didn’t hesitate to give him her business card. She was also confident that with Jobs making such a big mistake and being in debt, most people wouldn’t want to get into this trouble to hire him.
