Paul turned to the table and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy your reunion. I’ll see myself out, please excuse me.”Then, he intentionally turned to Jacob and said, “Goodbye, Uncle Wilson.”Jacob glanced at Paul like he was looking at his own son and said in a kind and fatherly manner, “Okay, go right on with your business!”Oscar was rather astonished to see Jacob. “Oh, you are Mr. Wilson, Master Wade’s father-in-law, aren’t you?”Jacob was surprised that the well-known Oscar, the butler of the Moore family, would know him personally, so he asked with a shocked expression, “How…how do you know me?”“With all due respect, Mr. Wilson, Master Wade is the life savior of the Moore family and everyone in the family is very grateful to his help! You are his father-in-law, how can I not know you?”Jacob gaped in realization!So Oscar knew him purely because of Charlie, his son-in-law…He realized that Charlie was getting more and more ambitious in his scam. He had thought tha

William, who was disdainful of Jacob, suddenly became a little dreaded.Oscar was so respectful and reverent to his son-in-law, which proved that Jacob was a more important figure than him in Oscar’s opinion.He asked his friends about Jacob’s son-in-law’s information, who happened to have attended the last reunion. He said with a smile, “Oh, him. I think he’s an unemployed househusband, but we’re not quite sure exactly what he does for a living.”William was a businessman, after all. He had seen much of life to know the differences.Oscar’s attitude alone was enough to indicate that Jacob’s son-in-law was not someone he could underestimate. He must be a somebody who did great things to earn such honorable recognition from Oscar.This also made him feel worried and fearful of the consequences after ridiculing Jacob earlier. He could tell that, based on Oscar’s gracious manner towards Jacob, it would not end well for him if he went up against Jacob for real.He glanced at Jacob, h

A founder often used their last name as the name of the company they founded.For example, the famous Boeing Company, the aerospace group that produced passenger aircrafts, military aircrafts, and space shuttles, was named after its founder, William Edward Boeing.Another example was Conrad Hilton, who founded the world-renowned Hilton Group, an American multinational hospitality company that managed and franchised a broad portfolio of hotels and resorts. The Hilton family was one of the prominent families in America.Paul’s full name was Paul Smith, Paul being his first name and Smith his last.His father had named their law firm ‘Smith Group Corporate Law’ after his family name since he founded the company and it gained an enormous resounding reputation internationally after many years of hard work.When Paul decided to shift his company to Aurous Hill, he chose the best central business district in the city and the most prosperous office building in the area, Gemdale Plaza.Th

Paul was very curious about Charlie. Initially, he thought that Charlie was a member of the Wade family in Eastcliff. Although his assumption was later rebutted, a new doubt arose inside Paul’s mind upon the mention of the title ‘Master Wade’.It was also Paul’s objective in inviting Charlie to come over and check out the Feng Shui layout here.Indeed, he had a master to check and arrange the Feng Shui layout in his office. If Charlie could not tell the existence of these layouts when he was here, it proved that he did not have what it took to be called Master Wade.But if Charlie could clearly see the layout, it meant that he was extraordinary.Unexpectedly, Charlie could see all the Feng Shui layouts at a glance. These layouts had been reviewed and studied by the previous master for a long time before deciding their arrangements, yet it only took Charlie one glimpse to see them all.Charlie was not annoyed by Paul’s skepticism. On the contrary, he admired Paul’s blunt honesty an

Paul nodded gratefully and blurted, “Charlie, thank you so much! I’ll get someone to do it right away!”Charlie plastered a smile on his face. “Hold up, I haven’t finished.”Paul said respectfully, “Oh, please proceed.”“While applying the films to the windows, you must place a golden Pixiu on each side of the wall. Remember, it must be a pure gold Pixiu in order for it to play the best role in attracting fortune. Moreover, the Pixiu is known for eating gold, silver, and jewels but cannot expel it, which makes it the perfect symbol of the acquisition and preservation of wealth. By doing so, it forms the perfect layout of retaining the wealth when the money comes in and your business will subsequently flourish and prosper.”Paul clasped his fist at Charlie with a grateful look and said, “Wow, you are indeed very talented and gifted! From now on, I’ll call you Master Wade like everyone else!”Charlie laughed and waved his hand, “Oh, please don’t! If you call me that in front of my f
Chapter 915
Paul admired Charlie from the bottom of his heart.He was an American who was more like an Oskian! He was obsessed with Oskian traditional culture and Feng Shui metaphysics to the point of worshipping.Charlie’s earlier comments and remarks made him feel that Charlie’s insight and expertise in Feng Shui were unfathomable. He also understood why someone was willing to give Charlie a fancy villa worth hundreds of millions of dollars.Paul was very aware of the importance of a Feng Shui master. A competent master could not only help people improve their luck and gather wealth, but they could even help people change their luck and therefore their futures! Therefore, every Feng Shui master came with their own price tag, the better they were, the higher their appearance fees were. Rumors had it that Ka-Shing Li, Hong Kong’s wealthiest man, would pay hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars per visit for their designated Feng Shui master.This was also why he felt that the four million

Another example of the overwhelming politeness was when a few people rushed to pay the same bill at the same time after dinner.Everyone rushed to pay, but not all of them were sincere to pay. Their intention was simply to show their effort in being polite as if they would look immature if they didn’t.Therefore, it was quite a common scene for a few people to gather around the cashier, arguing and insisting on paying.Exhausted by such meaningless scenes, Charlie admired Paul’s wittiness and decisiveness. He stopped all the nonsense when Charlie stated that he was busy and saw him off. This was the wise way of communication between smart people.Paul walked Charlie all the way out of his office and came to the elevator lobby. He took the liberty to press the button for Charlie. Then, they both looked at the digital indicator that showed an elevator coming up from the first floor and stopped on their floor.Paul hurriedly gestured as soon as the elevator stopped, but before he man

At this moment, the graceful Jasmine exited the elevator.The purpose of her visit was to give Paul the flower baskets, but she could not take her eyes off Charlie.She was over the moon every time she saw Charlie as if she had returned to her eighteen-year-old self, the tender age when she had first experienced love and passion.In fact, a girl who was from a wealthy and influential family like her had to learn to grow up and be mature earlier than ordinary people. They had to get into the cruel reality earlier and learned to put on a disguise earlier.But ever since she bumped into Charlie and falling in love with him, her ability to put on her disguise failed whenever she was in front of him.She asked shyly while staring at Charlie, her eyes full of admiration and affection, “Master Wade, how do you know Mr. Paul? He just arrived in Oskia not long ago, didn’t he?”Charlie smiled warmly and answered, “My father-in-law and Paul’s mother were college mates, that’s how we knew ea
