Chapter 69 Showing Off
Because Jacob thought that he was coming for work, he decided to wear a very formal suit, which made
Kian think that Gerald and Jacob were there for a job interview.
Then Gerald and Jacob both frowned.
Before Gerald and Jacob could speak, Kian continued, “How did you get the interview notice? Normally,
our company would only hire people who graduated from top universities. But since we are classmates, I
can give you two some special treatment. In fact, I am already a manager at Universe Group. I have
some good connections and an annual salary of more than 200 thousand dollars. I will help you.”
As he spoke, Kian looked at Gerald. “Jacob might be fine, but Gerald, you have been in prison before.
It’s really impossible for you to join our company.‘
Gerald and Jacob were speechless.
They thought to themselves, did we ask you? Why are you telling us everything about yourself?
Showing off?
Gerald smiled in his heart and then said, “No, I’m not here for an interview. I came here with Jacob.”
Kian nodded. “So that’s what it is.”
Jacob did not want to hear Kian brag all the time, so Jacob quickly changed the topic. “Does Diya work
here too? There seems to be something between the two of you.”
Kian showed a trace of pride on his face and then said, “Yes, Diya worked here before, and now we have
been married
for a year.”
“Goodness. You actually marry one of the school belles,” Jacob punched Kian in the chest and said.
Back in high school, Diya and Doreen were the most beautiful girls on campus.
Kian frowned and patted his chest. Then he looked at Gerald and Jacob. “Work hard on your interview
then. I will talk
to the interviewer as well. You know. If you can work in our company and you pass the probation period,
you surely
will have a higher salary than you earned from your previous job. Of course, if you want to reach my
position, you have to work ten times harder like me. Meanwhile, you must be talented.”

that Doreen is getting engaged?”
Jacob was stunned and looked at Gerald in surprise.
In high school, Gerald and Doreen were very close, and many people felt that the two of them might end
up together.
Before Gerald could speak, Diya said, “That’s true. You just came out of prison, so you certainly do not
know. The man is called Henley, the young master of the Zumthor family. They look like a perfect match,
though.”
Kian nodded and said, “Indeed. I didn’t expect that our school belle would be married. By the way, their
engagement party was scheduled for Saturday. Doreen’s family invited many of our high school
classmates, more than 20 people. Doreen will also be there. We plan to meet up on Saturday. I
organized it, by the way, and it is at the Felicity Hotel. You
two can come too.”
Jacob and Gerald frowned at the same time.
But Kian still smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Everyone won’t care that you just came out of prison. We are
all good classmates. And if Jacob did not pass the interview today, he might find another job when
meeting our classmates
over there. They might as well introduce you to some jobs.”
“Okay. We can go then. I haven’t seen them for many years,” Gerald touched his nose and said.
“Sure. I still have documents to hand in. I have to go.” Kian nodded. After getting in the car, Kian thought
of something and said, “By the way, we will split the bill by then. I think it is about 500 dollars for
everyone. You do have that money, right? Remember to bring them with you.”
As Kian spoke, he started the car and drove toward the company.
Seeing them leave, Jacob scolded, “This fucker. How dare he keep showing off!”
Meanwhile, Gerald heard the conversation between Kian and Diya.
Diya said, “Gerald is actually out of prison. But he has been chased away from the Kenneth family. Look
at his clothes. He must be broke.”
“Gerald was the best student at school, and his family was rich. But guess what he did? A rapist can only
be at the bottom of society for the rest of his life. He is nothing like us, and we will not meet him often,”
Kian said disdainfully. “And Jacob actually came to our company for an interview. He won’t really work in
our company, will he?” Diya said.
“Don’t worry. I’ll go talk to the interviewer later. In Universe Group, we don’t just take in anyone,” Kian
replied disdainfully.
Then Gerald touched his nose, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He looked at Jacob
next to him and asked, “He just showed off in front of us all the time. Are you angry?”
Jacob scolded, “How should I put it? I just don’t like it. I don’t know why he is showing off all the time. But
it’s not our thing, though. He is really at the peak of his life now. A small manager of Universe Group
surely has a better salary than the two of us.”
Gerald grinned and said, “What if you are his supervisor or even an executive? Do you think he will be
even angrier when he sees you?”
Jacob’s whole body trembled, and he said, “Bro, let’s stop messing around. Are you lying to me? Where
am I going to work? I just fucking quit my job yesterday.”
Gerald smiled and took out his phone. He made a call to Valery.
After all, Gerald brought Jacob there. If they were stopped by the security guards later, Gerald would feel
a little embarrassed. So he planned to let the current leader of Universe Group come down to pick them
up.
The leader of Universe Group was Leandro Hanson. Because of the accident three years ago, Gerald
lost Leandro’s phone number.
Soon, the phone was connected. On the other side of the phone, Valery asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I miss you,” Gerald coughed and said.
“If you don’t want to talk about it, I’ll hang up,” Valery snorted and said.
“Well, give me Leandro’s phone number,” Gerald hurriedly said.
Valery snorted again, “Did you go to Sacramento?”
Gerald nodded. “Yes.”
“Remember to investigate Watchman No. 2. When the time comes, we will send two people to cooperate
with you,” Valery said.
Gerald nodded. “Got it.”
After that, he hung up the phone. Soon, Leandro’s phone number was sent over, and Gerald dialed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmagain.
Beside Gerald, Jacob narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Gerald with a strange and shocked
expression.
Jacob knew Leandro.
In Sacramento, everyone knew about Leandro, the entrepreneur, and the CEO of Universe Group.
At the same time, Jacob’s heart sank slightly. If Gerald really knew Leandro, he would not have asked
someone else for Leandro’s phone number.
Gerald ignored Jacob and quickly called Leandro. The phone was also quickly connected. And a middle–
aged man answered the phone. “Hello!”
“Hey! Guess who I am,” Gerald said.
On the other side of the line, after a brief moment of shock, an excited voice was suddenly heard. “You
are still alive. Where are you?”
“I am downstairs at Universe Group,” Gerald said with a smile.
Toot!
Leandro hung up the phone.
Beside him, Jacob was completely speechless. He looked at Gerald and asked, “What should we do
next?”
“Just wait. Leandro will come down and pick us up,” Gerald replied with a smile.
Looking at Gerald’s confident expression, Jacob began to doubt himself. He still found it hard to believe.
But when he thought about the 800 thousand dollars Gerald transferred yesterday, Jacob began to look
forward to Leandro’s
arrival.
If Jacob could work in Universe Group, his parents would feel so proud and tell everybody about it.
After about three minutes, Jacob’s pupils contracted slightly.
He saw a middle–aged man in a suit not far away. The man was like a runaway horse, moving toward
the door. To be precise, Leandro was rushing over.
Who else could it be but Leandro?
A few security guards looked over curiously. They did not expect their boss to run out.
Leandro rushed in front of Gerald. Under Jacob’s surprised gaze, Leandro stood upright a few feet in
front of them.
At that time, Leandro’s eyes were red, and tears flowed down,
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Leandro raised his right hand and saluted Gerald. At the same time,
he muttered, “For every being who is breathing…”
