The wedding went well. After the big celebration, Brook and Misty began their honeymoon.Amelia expressed her concern to Sylvia and Eric, "You two should take a break from work and go on a vacation. Explore a bit!"Amelia was unaware Sylvia and Eric had already been on a honeymoon, although not to popular international destinations. Her main goal was to encourage them to have a baby sooner."Mom!" Sylvia replied, annoyed. "Why are you concerned about this? Our life remains the same no matter where we are. Besides, the Innova Group is very busy right now, and we can't just take time off!"Sylvia didn't value leisure and saw it as impractical. As long as a couple had a strong relationship, the location didn't matter.Amelia sighed, feeling that Sylvia and Eric were leading a rather peaceful life.Henry flicked some cigarette ash and continued. "Life should be peaceful. Besides, the Innova Group has just started, and there's a lot to be done. We can consider these other matters when

Eric had a hunch that there might be issues between Andy and Elly. Andy let out a sigh and remarked, "It's almost graduation season, isn't it? Our company needs to hire and train new people." Eric nodded in agreement. The Innova Group, like other tech companies, was now focusing on nurturing the next generation of talented individuals.They understood that skilled employees were the company's most valuable asset. While direct high-salary recruitment was cost-effective, it had its downsides, such as employees lacking loyalty.The Innova Group aimed not only to create competitive products but also to establish its unique company culture, relying on its dedicated staff."That's a positive move," Eric commented.Andy smiled wistfully, "It's great for the company, but it might not be the best for me. The company has specific requirements for new hires, especially recent graduates. Some majors aren't a good fit for us. "Yesterday, my parents called me. My younger brother just gradu

Jacob sat at the recruitment table, conversing with an attractive woman from the Innova Group's HR department. It was clear that the HR staff wasn't very interested in speaking with him, but Jacob didn't give up.College life was different from the professional world, and Jacob was still single. Furthermore, he had plans to join the Innova Group in the future because of his connection with Andy, making it crucial to establish connections."Hey, add me on Instagram!" Jacob insisted, "My brother is your company's COO and founder, so I'm definitely going to work here. With my brother's connections, you won't have any problems in the future."Unbeknownst to him, Andy overheard everything.The HR staff raised an eyebrow and replied, "I'm sorry, but our company doesn't condone such practices. If you continue to disrupt our recruitment process, I may have to involve the police."Andy muttered, "This guy! He dares to make such statements even before joining the company. What will he be li

If Andy didn't change his mind, Jacob wouldn't be able to join the Innova Group.Jacob angrily made a call, and Andy didn't stop him. Instead, he picked up the latest personnel data and started reviewing it.After a while, Andy's phone rang. Seeing his mother calling, he sighed and answered, "Mom.""Why won't you let Jacob join the company? He graduated from Salt Province University. If you don't look after your own family, who will you look after?" She didn't mince words, criticizing him right away.Andy had prepared his arguments and replied, "Mom, the company isn't mine alone. Besides, Jacob isn't suitable for our company. Letting him in would be chaotic. I'd be abusing my power.""Well, I don't care!" Lily said, "He's your brother. If you don't let him join your company, I'll never agree to your relationship with that divorced woman. You sort it out yourself!"Andy wanted to say more, but Lily hung up. He looked at his phone, appearing worried.At that moment, Jacob approach

Eric was struggling to come up with enough money, and the Innova Group faced financial constraints. The funding gap at Salt Province University was enormous, so they needed to explore other solutions. If the Innova Group continued to grow, they might support Salt Province University in the future, but not right now.Additionally, Eric had another idea that didn't involve giving direct funding to the university.He explained, "Here's my idea. In high school, we had specialized classes, and we could do something similar in university. We can establish classes under the Innova Group name in relevant fields. Graduates from these classes will have a direct path to employment at the Innova Group, solving their job placement problem."I believe the Innova Group's reputation qualifies us to create these classes at the university. The university can also use this as a selling point during enrollment."Eric wasn't offering money to the university—he was providing them with a unique selling p

Eric received a call from Matteo on that day."Hol. Johnson, the Hernandezes want to return to King City's underworld, and they've made some progress," Matteo said. "They've sent several experts to participate in underground matches to strengthen their position. One of those fighters is named Chase."Eric raised an eyebrow. It appeared that Matteo was well-informed. He immediately informed Eric as soon as Chase entered the underground scene.After the call ended, Eric fell silent. Chase had come to Salt City to eliminate Tiger and establish the Hernandezes' dominance in the underworld. Even though he had failed to complete his mission, he had resurfaced in the underground arena. Perhaps this was his opportunity.Entering Sylvia's office, Eric called out, "Honey.""Is something wrong?" Sylvia raised her eyes, pausing from her work.Eric explained, "I just got a call from Matteo. The person who wanted to eliminate Tiger is now participating in an underground match. I want to invite

Matteo was curious about how Eric could participate in the underground arena without any fighters. He thought that Eric and Tiger might bring a strong fighter with them.There were rumors in King City that Salt City had a powerful martial artist who could take on Scar's men single-handedly. Otherwise, how could Scar have suffered such a significant loss there?Eric chuckled and asked, "Mr. Deluca, don't I look like a fighter to you?"Matteo was surprised when Eric claimed to be a fighter. Despite Eric's exceptional medical skills, Matteo believed there was a big difference between medical expertise and fighting. In Matteo's eyes, Eric's physique seemed unlikely to withstand a punch.Seeing Matteo's expression, Tiger added, "Mr. Deluca, you might not know, but Mr. Johnson started learning medicine after mastering martial arts. A year ago, he was already unbeatable in the underground arena in Salt City and Dortmund City. Even against the top fighters in King City, Mr. Johnson has a g

Chase was on the verge of tears. Despite one of Javier's key resources, he felt like nothing more than a pawn for the Hernandezes. If he lacked his martial arts skills, would Javier even give him a second thought?Furthermore, the Hernandezes had gone to great lengths to rebuild their reputation in King City's underworld with Chase.Even Tiger, whom not even Scar could handle in Salt City, had met his match with Chase. If Chase backed out now, wouldn't it be a stain on the Hernandezes' honor?"Are you fighting or not?" Rafael's face darkened. "We don't tolerate freeloaders. And isn't he just a fighter from Salt City? It's practically a guaranteed victory, right?"Rafael wasn't well-versed in Salt City's underworld. If he knew that Scar had also suffered a loss there, he might not have said such a thing.Regardless of his own desires, Chase had to face this match."Fuck!" He cursed, "They matched me up with their fighter right after they arrived. There's something fishy going on b
