Chapter 866
That person was none other than Zhang Wenwen, whom Melody Fox had met at the sales office.
“Wenwen?” She walked up to greet her in surprise.
Zhang Wenwen was also very surprised to see her. “Miss Fox?”
The two of them met and chatted. Only then did Melody Fox know that Rodney Stanton was very fast and had already arranged for the medical expenses. Therefore, Zhang Wenwen did not need to work everywhere to raise her brother’s medical expenses. She could live her own life now.
However, because Zhang Wenwen had dropped out of school back then, she could not return to school directly now. Helpless, she could only choose to sign up for the special talent recruitment this time.
Originally, she did not even have the right to sign up. Fortunately, her counselor was very good and found a way to get her a spot to participate.
However, none of the participants in this enrollment were people who weren’t capable. She was also very nervous.
However, with the encouragement of her mother and brother, she still came to sign up.
After Zhang Wenwen finished speaking, she lowered her head and said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Miss Fox. I’ve let you down and can’t continue to be a salesperson there.”
Melody Fox quickly shook his head. “What’s there to apologize for? You’re a top student who got into Insterimond University. It’s simply a waste of resources for you to continue being a salesperson there. I’m also very happy for you that you can think of coming back to continue your studies.”
Zhang Wenwen’s heart skipped a beat, and she was so touched that her eyes turned red.
“Miss Fox, you’re so nice.”
Melody Fox smiled.
“If you think I’m good, then don’t be so polite in the future. Call me Melody.”
“If you don’t mind, I’ll call you Sister Melody.”
“Of course. By the way, where are you staying these few days?”
Zhang Wenwen quickly said, “I’m staying at the school. After I left, no one else stayed in the dormitory, so my original bed was still empty. My roommates in the dormitory are very nice and asked me to stay there quietly. They’re already in their third year. The dormitory auntie and the student union won’t come to check on me.”
“That’s good. It’s convenient to stay at school. I haven’t asked you, which subject did you sign up for?”
“I signed up for Al mechanical design,” Zhang Wenwen said. “Very few people signed up for this subject. I originally studied this related major, so I wanted to take a gamble. In addition, I also signed up for calligraphy, but I learned it myself. I’m not confident. I’m just signing up to give it a try. Anyway, the exam doesn’t cost anything.”
Melody Fox nodded.
Zhang Wenwen asked again, “Sister Melody, which one do you plan to sign up for?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“Ah?” Zhang Wenwen said in surprise, “It’s almost your turn. Haven’t you thought about it?”
“Yes, I’ll pick a few. If I have nothing to do in three days, I’ll take every one of them.”
Anyway, she was good at many things. It didn’t matter to her which one she applied for. It wouldn’t be a problem for her to get in.
However, on the way here, Yannick Frost called and said that he hoped that she would take a few more exams so that Insterimond University would value her more. It would be more convenient for her to get her diploma in the future, so she agreed.
When Zhang Wenwen heard this, she misunderstood. She thought that Melody Fox was less confident than her, so she wanted to give it a try.
She immediately comforted her. “It’s alright, Sister Melody. My counselor said that this will be done every year in the future. If it doesn’t work this time, we’ll come again next time.”
Melody Fox’s lips twitched. He knew that Zhang Wenwen had misunderstood.
However, Zhang Wenwen was not confident, so she did not explain.
Coincidentally, it was her turn at the registration counter. She pretended not to hear Zhang Wenwen’s words and took out her identity card to hand it to the teacher at the registration counter.
The teacher was so busy that her lips were peeling. She had yet to drink cups of water. After receiving her ID card, she quickly checked the information. After confirming that Melody Fox was on the computer, she handed her a registration form.
As he continued to work on the computer, he said quickly, Check whichever subjects you sign up for and sign on the bottom right corner. A person can sign up for three subjects at most.”
Other than some really powerful characters, there were also some who came through the back door.
People like Zhang Wenwen and Melody Fox, as long as they were not approached by Insterimond universities, were considered to have gotten in through the back door.
Usually, those who signed up for more than one subject would get in through the back door.
Therefore, when the registration teacher saw that Melody Fox had chosen three subjects, his tone became less polite.
Another person wanted to take advantage of the situation and enter their school.
“Alright, take your admission ticket and leave. Don’t stay in the school and affect the student’s school.” The teacher’s brows were tightly furrowed, and the disdain in her tone was almost overflowing from her throat.
Melody Fox did not care about the other party’s attitude. She took her admission ticket and left.
However, when she turned around, she met the gaze of a woman walking over.
The two of them narrowed their eyes.
“It’s you?”
The woman’s expression suddenly darkened.
Melody Fox first turned her head and said to Zhang Wenwen, “Wait for me at the school gate first.” After the confused Zhang Wenwen left, she looked at the person again.
“Miss Clark, long time no see.”
It was Pamela Clark, Mabel Fox’s best friend.
Pamela Clark had bullied Zara Wentworth previously and was caught red-handed by her. After Ken Swanson found out, he directly canceled the Swanson Group’s collaboration with her family. From then on, the two of them became enemies.
After that, Russell Fox was busy trying to make up for Clark Group.
Of course, there was no news of the Clark Group and the Swanson Group working together as substitutes.
However, Pamela Clark did not do anything else after that.
If she had not seen Pamela Clark today, Melody Fox would have almost forgotten about Pamela Clark’s existence.
Now that she saw Pamela Clark again, she knew that her life was not as good as before.
Pamela Clark gritted her teeth when she saw her.
“You followed me?”
Melody Fox was amused.
“Miss Clark, go through your bag and see if there’s a mirror inside. Look in the mirror and you’ll know if it’s worth it for me to follow you here.”
“You-” Pamela Clark was so angry that her face turned red. However, Pamela Clark suddenly thought of something and suddenly stopped being angry. She sneered and said, “Don’t tell me you’re also here to register for the exam.”
“If you can come, why can’t I?”
Pamela Clark was so angry that she choked again. She gritted his teeth and said, “Just wait. Your good days won’t be long!”
After saying this, Pamela Clark directly walked towards the queue.
Melody Fox turned to look at Pamela Clark’s back and roughly guessed what Pamela Clark meant.
Although Pamela Clark did not jump around, Melody Fox saw her father’s actions
Mr. Clark would probably want to poach the all Justalion Group’s designers so that the Fox family would fall into a situation where even a clever housewife could not cook without rice.
In Pamela Clark’s opinion, if the Fox family fell, the eldest daughter would also fall.
Unfortunately, she was no longer the Fox family’s eldest daughter, and she had already prepared a way to deal with the Justalion Group.
Chapter 867
The October sun was still extremely scorching.
The registration area was about ten minutes away from the school gate. It was neither short nor long.
When she passed by the field, she saw that the boys on the basketball court were sweating profusely. Every goal made the girls in the audience scream.
Melody Fox stopped in her tracks.
Being a youth… was so good.
Actually, she was only twenty-six this year, but her youth seemed to have ended on the day she returned to Silverlake from the countryside.
Around her were the Fox family, the Swanson family, and other messy things.
She wanted to live an ordinary life too much, but it was impossible in this life.
Looking at the field, Melody Fox’s thoughts drifted elsewhere.
The Clark group wanted to deal with the Justalion Group by taking drastic measures to poach the Justalion Group’s elite designers. However, in fact, it was her mother, Jiang Wilona’s design, that made the Justalion Group stand out from a group of clothing companies.
After her mother’s death, the Justalion Group became worse by the day.
Although it could still grit its teeth and persevere by relying on its old customers and selling those classic models, it was impossible to rely on the designers the company was raising to make a comeback.
Therefore, even though she knew what the Clark Group was planning, she still did not do anything. She just waited for Mr. Clark to poach all the designers.
In fact, before she discovered the Clark Group’s plan, her original plan was to kick out the original designers after taking back the Justalion Group. She wanted to make a huge change and change the Justalion Group’s style.
However, kicking out all the designers at once would easily arouse the employees’ rebellious mentality. It might even have a negative impact on society.
Therefore, Clark’s Group plan was beneficial to her and even helped her.
Therefore, she had already decided on a new designer list a while ago. She had also drawn many designs. Once she took back the Justalion Group, she could use these designs to produce a batch of new products.
Hence, she did not care about Clark’s Group actions at all. She even hoped that they would settle that batch of designers quickly.
However, from Pamela Clark’s tone just now, it seemed that she had succeeded. It was just that Clark’s Group was waiting for the right time.
It was obvious that what they were waiting for was the completion of the factory that Russell Fox had been buying and renting crazily. And, when they needed new products the most, they would take the designers away.
And she was also waiting for that moment to happen.
Melody Fox’s train of thought was quickly sorted out.
She could not be anxious about the Fox family. She could only wait.
She could secretly help the Clark Group.
If Pamela Clark knew what she was thinking, she would probably vomit blood from anger.
Thinking of this, Melody Fox’s gloomy mood from envying the students on the field improved a lot.
However, just as she was about to quicken her pace to look for Zhang Wenwen, A voice sounded behind her again.
“Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road! It’s her again!”
Melody Fox subconsciously turned around and saw a woman around her age beside Pamela Clark.
The woman had a slender and elegant temperament. She was wearing a white dress and her eyebrows were very deep. Clearly, she was a mixed-race beauty.
However, Melody Fox vaguely felt that this woman looked a little familiar as if she had seen her somewhere before.
Melody Fox sized up the woman. The woman was also sizing her up.
Pamela Clark introduced, “She’s the Melody Fox I told you about. She’s the slut who stole Janet Murphy’s men.”
“What? You’re not mistaken?”
“There’s no mistake, it’s this ugly freak! You don’t believe it either, right? I really don’t know what method she relied on…” “Pam, that’s enough.”
The woman interrupted Pamela Clark. Then, she took a few steps forward and extended her hand to her in a friendly manner.
“Hello, my name is Jian Huan.”
Melody Fox shook the other party’s hand symbolically and asked, “Your surname is Jian? Janet Murphy is your…” “She’s my cousin.”
Upon hearing this, Melody Fox suddenly remembered why she felt that she had seen this woman before.
She looked 60-70% similar to Janet Murphy, but because of their mixed blood, the similarity between the two of them was weakened, so she did not remember it immediately.
However, she seemed to have heard the name Jian Huan somewhere before.
Wait a minute… Wasn’t Jian Huan the ex-girlfriend that Minghao Tian had mentioned?
This relationship…
Melody Fox nodded with a complicated gaze.
Jian Huan smiled again and said, “Pam is an outspoken person. Don’t take it to heart. She doesn’t have any bad intentions. It’s just that she doesn’t think before he speaks.” Melody Fox did not answer. She only said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Wait.” Jian Huan stopped her and asked, “I heard from Pam that you also signed up for this special talent recruitment?”
“Yes, what’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing much. It’s just that I haven’t thought of which school to sign up for. I want to ask Miss Fox for your opinion.”
Melody Fox was a little amused.
“We’re not that familiar with each other, are we? Why are you asking for my opinion?”
Facing her attitude, Jian Huan was not angry. She continued to smile and said, “I think that the person who can defeat my cousin must not be an ordinary person. That’s why I want to ask for your opinion.”
“Then you’ve misunderstood. I’m just an ordinary person, so I can’t give you any opinions. I still have something on, so I’ Il leave first. Goodbye.”
Jian Huan’s smile did not diminish.
“See you in three days, then. Miss Fox.”
Melody Fox looked deeply at the other party’s smile. She could not find any flaws in the other party’s smile. It was as if the smile really came from the bottom of her heart.
Suspicion filled her heart. In the end, she turned around and left without saying anything.
As soon as Melody Fox left, Pamela Clark immediately asked in confusion, “Sister Huan, you clearly know her relationship with me and her relationship with Janet Murphy. Why are you still so polite to her? Besides, why are you asking her what she wants?”
After asking, didn’t she still get a cold shoulder from him?
Of course, Pamela Clark did not dare to say this out loud.
The Clark Group was no longer the same Clark Group of the past. She could speak to Jian Huan because they had attended the same talent training class.
Jian Huan smiled leisurely and said, “That’s true. Why should I ask her? Just ask the teacher at the registration office.”
However, Pamela Clark was even more puzzled.
Jian Huan shook her head and said, “She caused my cousin to almost go to jail and put the entire Murphy family in danger. How can I let her have her way? Since she wants to get her graduation certificate from Insterimond University, wouldn’t it be avenging my cousin if I don’t do as she wishes?”
Only then did Pamela Clark understand. Her eyes lit up as she asked, “Sister Huan, you want to enroll in the same. subject as her?”
“That’s right. Let’s go and report back.”
Pamela Clark quickly felt energized by Jian Huan’s words. Soon, through her connections in Insterimond, Jian Huan asked Melody Fox which subjects she had reported.
“Halcyon. Women’s mixed martial arts. Costume design.”
Chapter 868
The students who applied for these classes were all tested on the first day.
Melody Fox originally wanted to sign up for calligraphy because it was the easiest, but because Zhang Wenwen signed up for calligraphy, she deliberately avoided this. When Jian Huan saw the three subjects, she immediately revealed a standard smile that revealed eight teeth. Pamela Clark’s eyes lit up even more.
“Isn’t Halcyon painting your forte, Sister Huan?
Coincidentally, I signed up for fashion design. Melody Fox, this village girl who grew up in the countryside, probably doesn’t even know what fashion design is. She thought that it was an easy subject, so she signed up.”
Jian Huan raised her eyebrows and said, “That’s right. What a coincidence. Looks like even the heavens want me to help Cousin vent her anger.”
Pamela Clark immediately asked, “Should we tell Janet Murphy the good news immediately?”
“There’s no hurry,” Jian Huan said lightly. “Let’s wait for the results to come out before telling my cousin. It can be considered a surprise for her. Besides, she’s not in Insterimond now. Even if she knows, she can’t celebrate in person. We might as well wait until we complete the tasks”
Pamela Clark nodded vigorously, but then she frowned again.
“Sister Huan, although Halcyon’s painting and fashion design are both you and my strengths, this woman’s mixed martial arts… The two of us are not good at it.”
Jian Huan revealed her smile again.
“Don’t worry, I have a friend who happens to be good at this. I’ll help her get a spot.”
Pamela Clark was completely relieved. The depression that had gathered in her chest because of Melody Fox slowly dissipated.
Although her father did not allow her to touch Melody Fox before the “plan” was implemented, the opportunity was right in front of her. How could she bear to throw it away? Moreover, there was still Jian Huan this time. She would not be as reckless as before and be suppressed by Melody Fox. Pamela Clark looked up at the sunny sky and felt that the weather was not as hot as before. It was so comfortable that even his toes were stretched.
At the school gate.
Melody Fox thought about it and felt that Jian Huan was a smiling tiger. She was not as easy to talk to as she looked. However, she would not stay in Insterimond for long. As long as she did not interact with the other party, the other party would not be able to hit her.
As she was thinking, Zhang Wenwen ran towards her.
“Sister Melody!”
Melody Fox shook off her messy thoughts and greeted Zhang Wenwen with a smile.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Zhang Wenwen quickly waved her hand. “It’s fine. I have free time. That was…”
“I met her in Silverlake.” Melody Fox did not want Zhang Wenwen to get involved in this mess, so although she did not say much, she still reminded her, “She’s a slightly domineering socialite. If you see her alone in the future, remember to take a detour lest she vents her anger on you.” Zhang Wenwen quickly nodded.
After what happened at the sales office that day, she was already traumatized by a “socialite” like her. Of course, she would keep a respectful distance, not to mention Melody Fox’s special reminder.
“Do you have any plans?” Zhang Wenwen asked.
“No…” Melody Fox looked at Zhang Wenwen and asked, ” What’s wrong? Do you need me to go with you?”
“No, no,” Zhang Wenwen quickly said. “I was thinking, if you don’t have any other plans, how about I treat you to a meal? I want to thank you for what happened last time.”
Melody Fox saw the nervousness in Zhang Wenwen’s eyes. She seemed to be afraid that she would reject her, so she readily agreed.
“Sure. I was worried that no one would eat dinner with me. What do you want to eat?”
Zhang Wenwen immediately smiled.
“I’m fine with anything, depending on you. What do you want to eat?”
Melody Fox estimated that Zhang Wenwen did not have much money on her, so she said, “Let’s go eat hot pot, right? I heard that Insterimond opened a very popular hot pot shop. They planned to eat there before they left Silverlake.”
Of course, she had made this up. No matter how high-end the hot pot store was, the price was only so-so. It was not to the extent that Zhang Wenwen could not afford it.
Of course, Zhang Wenwen didn’t say anything. She nodded. and said, “Sure, I haven’t eaten hot pot in a long time. It’s still early now, so we can go there early to avoid queuing up. I wonder which hot pot shop it is?”
Melody Fox was just making things up. When she heard this, she said, “I can’t remember the name. Wait a moment, let me check.”
“Alright, I’ll go buy a bottle of water. What do you want to drink?”
“Mineral water, please.”
Zhang Wenwen responded and walked across the sidewalk to the convenience store opposite.
Melody Fox hurriedly searched for Insterimond’s new hot pot shop on her phone. However, before she could find it, the number that showed that it belonged to Insterimond called.
Melody Fox remembered this number. It was none other than Minghao Tian.
Why was Minghao calling her again? Could it be that there was something wrong with the gift? The gifts that were given to him were clearly intact…
Melody Fox quickly answered the call.
“Hello?”
“Miss Fox, this is Ming Haotian.” His tone was much more polite than the previous call.
Melody Fox asked in confusion, “I know. Why are you looking for me?”
“It’s like this. I’ve already sent the gifts home. My father scolded me for not treating you to a meal. I think it’s indeed my fault. How can I not entertain the guests?”
“So?”
Ming Haotian went straight to the point and said, “I ordered a table at the Great Capital’s dining hall. Miss Fox, please do me the honor?”
Without waiting for Melody Fox to answer, Minghao Tian said, “I called Brother Ken too.”
Hearing that he also called Ken Swanson, Melody Fox said, “Okay, what time?”
“You can come over now. I’m already on my way. I’ll be there in about ten minutes.”
He had only called her after setting off. It was obvious that he did not give her a chance to refuse.
However, since Ken Swanson was going too, she had nothing to worry about.
Thinking of this, Melody Fox said, “I met a friend of mine at Insterimond. I don’t know if it’s convenient for me to bring her along.”
“Of course, feel free. I’ve booked the entire restaurant. You can have as many friends as you want. The more people there are, the livelier it will be.”
“There’s no need for that. Just one.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you in the dining room.”
Ming Haotian hung up after saying that.
Melody Fox took the opportunity to search for the Great Capital Dining Hall. The Great Capital Dining Hall was half a car ride away from here. It also made Chinese food. The specialty was Insterimond roast duck. The price was terrifyingly high. It was not something ordinary people could afford.
Clearly, this restaurant’s location was similar to Blue Moon Lounge’s. It did not receive ordinary customers, but Minghao could book the entire restaurant. It was obvious that he relied on the Swanson family’s backing.
However, they had to go over now.
Coincidentally, Zhang Wenwen bought some water. “Sis Melody, here, shall we take a taxi now?”
“Um… Wenwen.” Melody Fox explained what had happened and then said, “Just eat when you get there. There’s no need to be reserved. Coincidentally, I also want to introduce my husband to you. You major in Al intelligence, and he happened to open a company related to this. If you’re unlucky this time and don’t get in, you can see if you want to work at his company. It’s better to be a professional than to go back and be a salesperson.”
Chapter 869
The company Melody Fox was talking about was Ximber Tech.
Since Zhang Wenwen was able to get into the University Insterimond, it meant that she was definitely not stupid. Coupled with the fact that she was a professional, she could not only recruit this talent in advance for Ximber Tech but also help Zhang Wenwen.
However, whether Zhang Wenwen could do it or not depended on Ken Swanson.
But no matter what, it was better than going back to being a real estate salesperson.
It was not that she discriminated against this industry, but after what happened last time, if Zhang Wenwen returned to Zuo’an Tingzhi’s sales office, there was no guarantee that the previous manager would have any loyal subordinates, and she would not be able to make things difficult for Zhang Wenwen.
“What do you think?” Melody Fox asked.
Zhang Wenwen wanted to refuse. After all, Melody Fox’s husband’s relative was treating her to a meal. It was not appropriate for her to go.
However, when she heard what Melody Fox said, she hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
“Okay.”
She actually did not have much confidence in this exam. She had come with the mentality of giving it a try.
Therefore, if she couldn’t pass the exam, she would still have to go back and find a job to earn a living. However, she really didn’t want to return to Zuo’an Tingzhi’s job. It was best to find a job that was suitable for her.
Seeing that Zhang Wenwen had agreed, Melody Fox gave her another warning.
“My husband is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Don’t be frightened by his ugly face. Also, the relative who treated us to a meal today is a little talkative. Just ignore him.”
Zhang Wenwen nodded vigorously. Since she had decided to go, she would not change her mind easily.
Moreover, she had seen all kinds of ugly expressions and had heard all kinds of annoying words from her previous manager.
This was nothing.
“I know. I’ll just go and eat.”
Melody Fox knew that Zhang Wenwen was not a weak person. Hearing this, she nodded and called the driver to bring the car over.
After 30 minutes the car arrived at the entrance of the Great Capital Dining Hall.
When they arrived, they realized that it was actually an antique courtyard house. The door was an old-fashioned wooden double door, and there was a pair of stone lions at the door. At first glance, they thought that it was a scene from the Forbidden City.
No wonder the price was so high. Renting such a courtyard house in Insterimond would cost a lot of money.
Melody Fox looked sideways and saw from the corner of his eye that Zhang Wenwen’s mouth was wide open in shock.
When she saw her looking over, she said in a low voice with a panicked expression, “It must cost a lot to eat here, right?” Melody Fox winked at her.
“Who cares? We’re not paying.”
Zhang Wenwen nodded, but she looked much more reserved than before.
Before entering, Melody Fox called Ken Swanson.
‘Are you not here yet? I’m already at the door!
On the other end of the line, Ken Swanson fell silent and did not reply immediately.
Melody Fox immediately realized that something was wrong. She frowned and asked, “Didn’t Minghao call you over for dinner?”
“I did. I rejected him,” Ken Swanson said. “Why would I come over if he lied to you?”
“Hmm…” Melody Fox said angrily, “I should have called you before we left. I didn’t expect him to lie to me about you. When I heard him call you Brother Ken, I thought he wouldn’t dare to talk about you, so I believed him.”
Ken Swanson listened to her complaints before speaking again.
“What’s it called again…”
“Daejeong Dining Hall.”
“Oh, there. I understand. I’ll get someone to go over and support you. When he arrives, I’ll get him to help you teach Ming Haotian a lesson. When I’m done here, I’ll come over too. Just treat this meal as Bright Sky’s last meal.”
Melody Fox was amused.
“Alright, since you say so, I’ll go eat this Hongmen Banquet.”
“Go ahead. I’m working nearby. I’ll be there in about an hour. After we meet, we’ll go back to the hotel together.”
“Okay.”
Melody Fox hung up the phone. She thought for a moment and said to Zhang Wenwen apologetically, “Wenwen, my husband will be coming over very late. The person who will treat us to lunch lied to me. He might have set up some trap for me to fall into, so I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow and the day after.”
When Zhang Wenwen heard this, she immediately shook her head.
“No, since it’s a trap, how can I let you go alone? If you don’t take me with you, why don’t you not go in too?”
“I just said it casually. That guy can’t do anything to me. Moreover, if he really wants to mess with me, even if I don’t go this time, there might be a next time. I might as well deal with him in one go. I’m just afraid that you’ll wait until I’m finished dealing with him…”
“Then if you want to go in, I want to go in with you.”
“Wenwen, today is really…”
“Let’s go together. Let me accompany you.”
Zhang Wenwen was very determined. Before she could finish, she took her arm forcefully.
Melody Fox had no choice but to bring Zhang Wenwen in.
She was very curious about what Minghao Tian wanted to do.
Moreover, she knew that Ken Swanson was not around, but she still insisted on going in for another purpose.
But one thing was certain. If Ming Haotian really did something outrageous, today’s meal might really become Ming Haotian’s last meal.
As soon as they entered the door, a waiter immediately went forward to welcome them.
“Hello, welcome to Dajing Dining Hall.”
Melody Fox said, “I’m looking for Minghao Tian.”
The waiter became respectful.
“So you’re President Ming’s guests. I’ll bring the two of you over. This way, please.”
The courtyard house’s area was not small. After walking for a few minutes, Melody Fox saw the bright sky.
However, Ming Haotian was not the only one in the restaurant. There were two beautiful girls sitting around him. Melody Fox felt that they looked a little familiar. She quickly remembered that she had seen these two girls in the private room of HOT.
He actually brought the hostess here.
Wasn’t he very protective of his ex-girlfriend, Jian Huan? What was going on with him?
Minghao Tian also saw her and immediately waved at her.
“Niece-in-law, this way.”
Melody Fox raised her eyebrows. She held Zhang Wenwen’s hand and walked over to introduce her. “This is my friend.
His surname is Zhang. This is my… husband’s uncle.”
Zhang Wenwen was very surprised.
Why did Uncle look younger than them?
However, this was not something she should be curious about. She quickly nodded at the other party as a form of greeting.
Minghao Tian carefully sized up Zhang Wenwen.
When he saw that she was wearing old yellow canvas shoes, he immediately laughed mockingly.
“As expected, she’s my niece-in-law. Her friends are as shabby as yours. However, she’s prettier than you, niece-in-law.”
Zhang Wenwen’s face immediately turned red, but it wasn’t because she was shy. It was because she was angry.
Melody Fox patted Zhang Wenwen’s hand, signaling her not to mind. Then, she pulled Zhang Wenwen to a seat.
Her expression did not change as she said, “You’re indeed Uncle. You don’t forget to bring a woman wherever you go. Won’t Miss Jian Huan be angry if she finds out?”
Ming Haotian’s expression immediately darkened, scaring the two hostesses into shrinking their necks and not daring to speak.
It would only hurt if the knife was stabbed in the soft spot. Melody Fox was not afraid of Minghao Tian’s sudden change in expression. Instead, the corners of her lips curled up into a smile.
“Uncle, don’t be angry. It’s just that I happened to see Miss Jian Huan in the afternoon, so I casually said it. You’re a big shot, so you won’t blame a junior like me, right?”
Chapter 870
As soon as she said this, Minghao Tian’s expression changed. He pushed away the two girls who were accompanying him.
The two girls almost fell off their chairs, but they did not dare to be angry or say anything. They quietly sat on the sofa in the private room.
“How did you meet her? How did you know her?! What did you guys talk about?! Melody Fox, what are you thinking?!” Melody Fox replied calmly, “Nothing much. I just said a few words. As for why we met, it was purely a coincidence.” “You’re lying!” Ming Haotian slammed the table and glared at her fiercely. “If I find out that you’ve said anything bad about me in front of her, I’ll make you suffer!”
When Melody Fox saw Ming Haotian’s reaction, she was completely sure that Ming Haotian still couldn’t forget his ex-girlfriend, Jian Huan.
Her other purpose for coming here was to learn more about Jian Huan from Minghao Tian.
This was because when Jian Huan asked her which subject she wanted to take, she felt that something was wrong. Perhaps the two of them would bump into each other in the examination hall and become competitors. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy could you win a hundred battles. This time, Insterimond University would only recruit one person per subject. She had to be more vigilant.
If not for that, she would not have attended today’s dinner when she found out that Ken Swanson was not coming. Zhang Wenwen saw Minghao Tian’s ferocious expression and leaned toward Melody Fox nervously.
Melody Fox gave Zhang Wenwen a reassuring look, then looked at Ming Haotian. “Don’t worry, I didn’t mention a word about you. But…”
“But what?”
Melody Fox glanced at the two girls who were hiding far away and said, “If you continue to play like this, I don’t need to say anything. The matter will naturally reach her ears. But I think the reason you broke up back then was because you liked to play too much, right?”
“Bullsh*t!” Ming Haotian blurted out angrily. “She broke up with me because our families didn’t agree. I wasn’t like this in the past!”
Melody Fox was stunned.
However, what surprised her even more was yet to come.
Ming Haotian continued, “If it weren’t for you, Janet Murphy wouldn’t have been forced to return to Insterimond.
Brother Ken wouldn’t have fallen out with the Murphy family. Our families wouldn’t have forced us to break up! All of this was caused by an ugly freak like you!”
While Melody Fox was shocked, she suddenly understood something.
No wonder Minghao’s attitude was so bad when he first called her.
No matter how much she was raised by the Fox family in the countryside, it was Margaret Swanson who asked her to deliver the gift. There was no reason for Minghao to be so rude to her.
So there was such a reason.
It seemed that after Janet Murphy returned to Insterimond, she had defamed her quite a bit.
But there was one thing she was sure of.
That was, Jian Huan had come with ill intentions.
If she was truly in love with Minghao Tian, she would probably hate him to death right now.
Taking a step back, even if Jian Huan was just playing with Minghao Tian, her relationship with Janet Murphy alone could not be filled with kindness towards him.
Thinking about it, she could not see any clues from Jian Huan’s smile. It was not because Jian Huan did not have any hostility towards her, but because Jian Huan hid it too deeply.
She was probably more scheming than Janet Murphy.
They did not come with good intentions…
Melody Fox got the answer he wanted and said calmly, “In that case, why did you treat me to a meal?”
Ming Skywhite narrowed his eyes and suddenly sneered. “Hehe, treat you to a meal? Only an ignorant country bumpkin like you would think that I’m really treating you to a meal.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Haotian suddenly shattered the bowl in front of him.
As the white porcelain bowl broke into several pieces, a group of bodyguards in plain clothes suddenly rushed in from outside and quickly surrounded Melody Fox and Zhang Wenwen.
Melody Fox immediately recognized that this group of people were the “guests” she had seen eating in the private room.
It turned out that they were all from Minghao Sky.
It seemed that Minghao Tian was not as stupid as she thought.
Unfortunately, these people were not her match at all. “Sister Melody…”
Zhang Wenwen had never seen such a scene before.
She was so frightened that she immediately grabbed Melody Fox’s hand tightly.
However, no matter how afraid she was, she still raised her voice and said loudly, “If you attack us, it’s against the law!”
“Hahahaha… Illegal?”
Ming Haotian seemed to have heard the greatest joke in the world. He wiped away his tears of laughter and said, This is my territory. I am the law!”
“Wenwen, don’t be afraid. I won’t let anything happen to you.” Melody Fox patted the back of Zhang Wenwen’s hand.
After pulling her behind her, she met Minghao Tian’s gaze indifferently.
“Minghao Tian, what are you trying to do?”
“What are you doing? Arrest you and beat you up. Then send you to Janet Murphy and let her deal with you! I think she will be very happy to accept this ‘gift’ I gave her.”
Melody Fox was amused.
“Minghao Tian, don’t tell me you think that you and Jian Huan can be together just because you sent me to Janet Murphy? Let me say this first. If you dare to touch a single strand of my hair, you will definitely regret it.”
“Ha!”
Ming Haotian snickered and said, “You’re just a village girl from the countryside. Don’t think that just because you married Brother Ken through some shameful means, you’ve really become a phoenix. Let me tell you, even if a sparrow flies into the sky, she’s still a sparrow! A village girl will always be a village girl! Between you and me, Brother Ken will definitely choose me. But if you kneel down and kowtow to me now, I can let you suffer less and even let your friend go.”
Of course, it was impossible to let Zhang Wenwen go.
If Zhang Wenwen went out, she might talk nonsense outside. It would be troublesome when she reached Fox.
The reason why he said that now was because he wanted to see this ugly woman bend her knees and beg for mercy. Didn’t she look very arrogant? Then he would let her see his methods!
Melody Fox shook her head and said disappointedly,” Minghao Tian, you’ve gone crazy. Ken Swanson even told me that you’re not a bad person. It seems like he doesn’t know you at all.”
“Don’t mention him to me here! A person like Brother Ken will definitely not fancy an ugly person like you. Perhaps he can’t wait for you to die immediately even more than me! He’s such a perfect person. You’re a stain in his life! Today, I’ Il help him get rid of this stain!”
Melody Fox slowly pulled up her sleeves.
She did not plan to call the secret guards out.
Facing someone like Ming Haotian, she had to personally teach him a lesson to vent her anger.
Ming Haotian’s eyes were filled with ridicule as he saw her actions.
“You don’t think you can beat my men with your bare hands, do you?”
There was no fear in Melody Fox’s eyes.
“Whether I can beat them or not, we’ll know after we try, right?”
“I think you’re courting death!” A vicious light flashed in Ming Haotian’s eyes. He raised his hand and shouted, “All of you, attack!”
Chapter 871
“If anyone catches her first, I’ll reward him with 200 thousand dollars!”
As soon as he said this, greed appeared in the eyes of all the bodyguards.
200 thousand dollars! This was not a small sum for bodyguards like them!
They were confident that they would win against two skinny women.
Thus, everyone rushed towards Melody Fox and Zhang Wenwen, vowing to be the first to catch them and get this 200 thousand dollars.
“Sister Melody…” Zhang Wenwen’s face was completely pale.
Melody Fox reminded her in a low voice, “Hide behind me.” With that, she turned her palm and raised it at the bodyguard closest to her. A cold light flashed in her palm, and a silver needle stabbed at an acupuncture point on that person’s neck at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
As if his acupoints had been hit, the bodyguard fell straight down, along with the two bodyguards behind him.
Then, another silver needle flew out from her other hand, and another one fell.
“W-what is it…”
The other bodyguards were a little panicked.
However, the temptation of 200 thousand dollars was too great. They quickly regrouped and charged straight at Melody Fox, ignoring the four who had fallen.
“200 thousand dollars, I’m coming!”
The tallest and strongest man ran towards Melody Fox with shining eyes.
However, just as he finished speaking, Melody Fox kicked him in the stomach.
The bodyguard was immediately sent flying by the kick. He even knocked down three people before falling to the ground and vomiting blood.
However, the shock in his heart was even greater than the pain.
This woman… was too strong!
He didn’t even see her make a move. His own people had already flown out.
None of them were her match.
However, for the sake of 200 thousand dollars, there were still bodyguards who came one after another. However, all of them ended up tragically.
If a person rushed up, they would immediately be kicked back.
If one came, he would pour one. If two came, he would pour a pair.
Not to mention catching Melody Fox, they could not even get close to her because her speed was too fast!
All the bodyguards secretly took a detour and tried to sneak attack from behind.
Zhang Wenwen noticed this and was about to warn Melody Fox when she saw that Melody Fox had already appeared behind the ambusher.
The man also sensed that something was wrong. Just as he was about to turn around to look at the situation behind him, Melody Fox had already slashed his neck.
The man immediately blacked out and fainted on the ground.
Zhang Wenwen was dumbfounded. No wonder Sister Melody did not panic at all.
With her skills, these people were not worthy of her panic.
She… was too strong!
Among the bodyguards, only three remained standing.
However, they no longer dared to go up. Even with the temptation of 200 thousand dollars, they did not dare to go up.
No matter how much money was given, it was better not to spend it.
Melody Fox glanced over coldly.
“Who’s first? Or together?”
The three bodyguards looked at each other, then turned around and fled.
The private room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The two girls had already hidden behind the sofa in fear of being implicated.
Compared to Minghao Tian, this woman was even more terrifying!
Ming Haotian’s mouth was so wide open that it could almost fit a large duck egg.
Melody Fox looked at the bodyguard who had already run away. She sneered and turned to look at Minghao Tian. “Your men have run away. Are you going to do it yourself?” Ming Haotian subconsciously took a step back.
What kind of joke was this? He didn’t know any martial arts. How could he fight someone who could even deal with so many bodyguards?
“Y-you…”
He stuttered and could not say a complete sentence for a long time.
Melody Fox took a step forward. He was so frightened that he immediately shouted, “Ah-don’t come over!”
Devil! This woman was a devil!
Could it be that she was threatening Brother Ken with force?
If he didn’t marry her, she would kill Brother Ken?
Just as Ming Haotian was scared out of his wits, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appear at the door of the private room.
When he saw the person’s face clearly, his eyes immediately lit up as if he had seen his savior. He shouted, ” Chief Mr. Quant! Mr. Quant, save me!”
Melody Fox subconsciously turned her head and met Sebastian Quant’s gaze.
Mr. Sebastian Quant? Sid Quant’s father.
‘Why is he here?’
Just as she was feeling puzzled, Minghao Tian took the opportunity to bypass her and quickly ran toward Sebastian Quant.
“Save me, Mr. Quant. This ugly woman is crazy! She injured my bodyguard and even wanted to hit me! Where are your bodyguards? Hurry up and ask them to help me teach her a lesson!”
Melody Fox narrowed her eyes indifferently.
What a coward! Jian Huan was a smooth-talking person. It would be strange if he really liked her. There must be something fishy about their relationship.
However, she did not know who Sebastian Quant would stand on…
Just as Melody Fox was considering if she should attack if Sebastian Quant was on Ming Haotian’s side…
However, Sebastian Quant ignored Ming Haotian and walked past him towards Melody Fox as if he were invisible.
Ming Haotian’s expression froze on his face. His eyes were filled with bewilderment.
‘What the hell…?’
In the next second, Sebastian Quant had already walked up to Melody Fox and extended his hand to her politely.
“Miss Fox, long time no see.”
Ming Haotian was instantly dumbfounded.
What kind of joke was this? Sebastian Quant, who didn’t even care about Brother Ken, actually took the initiative to greet Melody Fox and even extended his hand first?
What the hell was going on?
Was there something wrong with his eyes, or was there something wrong with this world?
However, whether it was Melody Fox or Sebastian Quant, no one paid attention to Minghao Tian’s current expression.
Melody Fox had already reacted.
Ken Swanson had asked someone to support her on the phone. It seemed like it was Sebastian Quant.
Melody Fox extended her hand in sympathy and politely shook Sebastian Quant’s. Then, she went straight to the point and said, “I accidentally went overboard just now. I’ll have to trouble you to get someone to deal with the people on the ground.”
“No problem. Leave this to me.”
Sebastian Quant did not complain at all. He snapped his fingers and called his men in.
Soon, the bodyguards on the ground were carried out. Even the tables and chairs were straightened for Melody Fox.
In less than three minutes, The rooms had already returned to the appearance when they had just entered.
Ming Haotian was completely stunned on the spot.
What was going on? What was going on? Could someone tell him that this was still the Sebastian Quant in his memory?!
Why was he treated as a subordinate by Melody Fox to be demolished? He even looked like he was very happy to do something for you.
Wasn’t Melody Fox a village girl from the countryside?
He had clearly investigated her before!
What Ming Haotian did not find out was that ever since Sid Quant woke up safely, Sebastian Quant had treated Melody Fox as the benefactor of the entire Quant family.
Sid Quant was the Quant family’s only child. Melody Fox saved Sid Quant, which was equivalent to saving the entire Quant family.
He was even more polite to Melody Fox than Ken Swanson. How could he have any complaints about doing such a small thing for Melody Fox?
Chapter 872
Countless question marks filled Ming Haotian’s mind. His brain was about to explode.
Ming Haotian finally could not hold it in anymore. He took a few steps forward and asked Sebastian Quant in a low voice.
“Mr. Quant? She…”
Sebastian Quant and Melody Fox instantly looked at Ming Haotian.
Ming Haotian couldn’t finish his sentence. When he saw Melody Fox’s eyes, he froze in fear. He was afraid that Melody Fox would kick him away.
Sebastian Quant also narrowed his eyes coldly and looked at Ming Haotian with an unfriendly gaze. “Are those bodyguards your men? How dare you attack Miss Fox?” Ming Haotian’s eyes widened.
“She, she… Why on earth did you…”
Sebastian Quant said patiently, “Miss Fox is the savior of my entire Quant family. If you disrespect her, you are making an enemy out of me!”
Ming Haotian’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Benefactor… She was actually Quant’s family’s benefactor! What right did she have?
Minghao Tian was shocked and scared. He couldn’t say anything for a long time.
When Sebastian Quant saw that Ming Haotian was silent, he directly asked Melody Fox.
“Miss Fox, why did this kid attack you? Aren’t you family?”
Melody Fox said calmly, “Sebastian, this guy organized this Hongmen Banquet today with the goal of capturing me and handing me over to Janet Murphy. This guy used to be in a relationship with Janet Murphy’s cousin, but because of Sid Quant… the two families stopped contacting each other, so they broke up just like that. That’s why he was angry and did this to me.”
“What?!” Sebastian Quant was furious. He grabbed Ming Haotian’s collar and scolded, “Idiot! Do you know what Janet Murphy has done?!”
Sebastian Quant hated the Murphy family to the core. However, the two families were equally powerful, and there were many business implications. Hence, he did not dare to act rashly. He could only wait for the perfect opportunity.
However, Ming Skywhite actually dared to side with an outsider. How could he not be angry?
Ming Haotian was a little out of breath from being pulled by Sebastian Quant. His face was red as he squeezed out a sentence from his throat, “W-What did she do?”
“You don’t know?”
Ming Haotian was about to suffocate. He rolled his eyes and said, “I don’t know anything!”
Sebastian Quant frowned and finally let go of Ming Haotian’s collar.
“Let me tell you! That bastard Janet Murphy ordered someone to assassinate my son. He almost died in her hands. Sid Quant had a narrow escape from the gate of hell, it was Miss Fox who operated on him and saved his life!”
Ming Haotian’s eyes suddenly widened.
“H-how is this possible? Aren’t they good friends for many years?”
“That’s why I said that you’re just an idiot who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. You don’t know anything serious!”
Ming Haotian was silent for a moment, but he still said unwillingly, “This is what Janet Murphy did. What does it have to do with me and Jian Huan? If something happened between the two of you, why did you destroy our relationship?”
Sebastian Quant was instantly enraged. He raised his hand and ruthlessly slapped Ming Haotian.
“You’re only thinking about women. I’ll teach you an unfilial son on behalf of your father today!”
Seeing that Sebastian Quant’s fist was about to smash down, Ming Haotian used all his strength to break free from Sebastian Quant’s hand. He turned around and wanted to run out.
Right then, a tall figure appeared at the door, blocking Ming Haotian’s path.
Minghao Tian looked up and his eyes instantly lit up. “Brother Ken!”
Ken Swanson looked at Ming Haotian indifferently. “Brother Ken, the two of them have joined forces to bully me. You have to stand up for me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ken Swanson raised his fist and punched Ming Haotian’s face.
“AHHHHHH!”
Ming Haotian cried out in pain.
The bridge of his nose was broken by Ken Swanson. Blood kept flowing out of his nose, scaring him so much that he screamed again.
“Ahhhhh…”
Ken Swanson impatiently covered his ears with one finger and waved his other hand to order, “Throw him back to the Mont family.”
“Yes!”
The two Death Warriors behind Ken Swanson mercilessly dragged Ming Haotian out.
Until he was thrown home, Minghao Tian could not understand why Brother Ken would hit him without saying a word.
As Minghao Tian was taken away, the private room finally fell silent.
Melody Fox looked at the blood on the ground and could not help but remind Ken Swanson, “Isn’t he, your uncle?”
“What kind of uncle is he? Seniority doesn’t mean everything. Even Granduncle won’t allow him to touch a single strand of your hair. If the Mont family doesn’t have the Swanson family, the entire clan will have to starve.” Melody Fox understood.
Although the Mont family was Margaret Swanson’s maiden family, the Mont family’s businesses were not big. They were all attached to the Swanson family to live a good life.
No wonder Margaret Swanson did not need her to personally deliver the gift to the Mont family. To put it bluntly, when she went to the Mont family, everyone had to be polite to her, and Margaret Swanson did not want this to happen.
After all, the Mont family was Maria Fox’s maternal family. Even Margaret Swanson, who treated her very well, would feel uncomfortable if a group of people of higher seniority flattered her.
When the Mont family people found out about what happened today, they would probably come to apologize to her because Minghao Tian had come to visit.
“Ah, Ken.”
Sebastian Quant frowned and said, “Your family is full of smart people. Why is there an idiot like Minghao Tian?” Ken Swanson shook his head. “My granduncle only has one son. He had a son when he was old, so he couldn’t help but spoil him a little. But he wasn’t so ridiculous in the past…” He originally thought that Minghao Tian wouldn’t dare to do anything to Melody Fox, but he didn’t expect him to really attack the woman he loved for Jian Huan.
Today, he had only broken Ming Haotian’s nose bridge. This was already on account of Margaret Swanson.
If this happened again, Margaret Swanson’s reputation would be useless.
He didn’t mind the Mont family losing his seed.
In any case, if he left such an idiot alive, the Mont family would lose to him sooner or later.
“Since you’re already here, why don’t you have a meal here?” Melody Fox suggested.
Of course, neither of them would refuse.
Soon, the waiter brought the dishes over.
They were all Insterimond specialties, including the most famous Insterimond roast duck.
The delicacies that were served like flowing water made Zhang Wenwen forget her shock and focus on eating.
Melody Fox casually picked up a piece of lobster meat and placed it in Zhang Wenwen’s bowl. She asked about Janet Murphy.
“After Janet Murphy, I wonder where she is now?”
“Hmph!”
Sebastian Quant did not look good when Janet Murphy was mentioned.
“The Murphy family has hidden her well. She probably hasn’t even left her house. My men have been guarding their house. As soon as Janet Murphy appears, I’ll immediately capture her!”
Ken Swanson paused and said, “Sebastian, you can’t be so direct with the Murphy family. Otherwise, you’ll be the one in the wrong in the end.”
“Then what should we do? Are we going to let this go just like that?”
“Of course not,” Ken Swanson said. “If you want to take revenge for Sid Quant’s sake, you can’t start with Janet Murphy. You have to start from the root. As long as the Murphy family doesn’t fall, Janet Murphy can always avoid the law. But as long as the Murphy family falls, she won’t be able to last long.”
Chapter 873
When Sebastian Quant heard that, he sighed and said, ” How can I not understand the logic of a cunning rabbit having three burrows? As long as the Murphy family is not completely destroyed, she will always have a chance to escape. Even if I find an opportunity to kill her, the Murphy family will definitely seek revenge on the Quant family. Generation after generation, there will be no end to it… But it’s easier said than done to destroy the Murphy family.”
Ken Swanson picked up his glass and clinked it with Sebastian Quant’s. He downed the glass in one gulp and said, “I think Sebastian has completely treated the two of us as one of his own by saying these words.”
“But of course.”
“In that case, I’ll tell you a new piece of news.” “Tell me.”
“Although it’s only been half a day since we came to Insterimond, I’ve learned through my channels that the Murphy family is in contact with Li Ming’s group of the Swanson family sub-branches.”
Sebastian Quant looked up in shock.
“Really?”
“I wouldn’t be telling you this if I didn’t have solid evidence.”
“Then according to what you said, do you think that the Murphy family wants to collaborate with the Swanson family to destroy your main family?”
“That’s right. A while ago, my father received an emerald stone and gave it to Melody. Melody and I accidentally discovered that there was a Miaojiang Gu worm that could poison people in the raw stone. We’ve already found out that the source of this Gu worm is Li Ming’s current wife.”
Sebastian Quant frowned tightly, his eyes filled with contemplation.
After a while, he spoke again. “If that’s the case, the Murphy family will become the enemy of the entire Swanson Group main family.
As the current chairman of the Swanson Group, your father would never leave him alone. In order to consolidate his position as the head of the Swanson family, he would definitely deal with Li Ming.
“But Li Ming is family. If word gets out that he’s dealing with his own uncle, it won’t sound good. So, the first person he’ll deal with won’t be Li Ming, but the Murphy family.”
Ken Swanson raised his glass to Sebastian Quant again. “Sebastian, you’re really smart. You understood immediately.”
“Don’t say such nice things. I don’t buy it. Let me ask you…” Sebastian Quant looked up at Ken Swanson and asked, “Your former friend, are you sure you can deal with her? I heard that not only were you friends and business partners in the past, but you also had some scandals… Once this matter blows up, she will be doomed.”
Melody Fox also looked at Ken Swanson.
Sebastian Quant’s question was also what she wanted to know.
Ken Swanson said without any pity, “To me, I only have one best friend, and that is Sid Quant. I think Sid Quant thinks the same about me. As for Jane, not to mention that we don’t have any scandals, just her killing Sid Quant is already a dead person in my heart the moment I know the truth.”
Melody Fox raised her eyebrows. She liked Ken Swanson’s answer very much.
She was such a petty woman. She could not tolerate Ken Swanson having an inextricable relationship with any other woman.
Ken Swanson seemed to have sensed what she was thinking. He turned around and gave her a loving look.
Sebastian Quant pursed his lips.
“Don’t make eye contact with an old man like me. Let’s get down to business. Ken Swanson, what do you plan to tell your father about the Murphy Family joining forces with Li Ming to deal with him? I don’t think he knows yet. Otherwise, he would have taken action long ago.”
Ken Swanson thought for a moment and said, “I only have one word. Wait.”
Sebastian Quant asked in confusion, “Wait for what?”
Ken Swanson said with a faint smile, “Currently, I only know about the Murphy family and Li Ming. It’s not enough for me. I want to wait until there are more and more fish, and then use Ramon Swanson’s strength to catch them all.” When Sebastian Quant heard the word “use” from Ken Swanson, he was shocked.
“Are you going to take this opportunity to take down the Swanson Group?”
Ken Swanson did not intend to hide it from Sebastian Quant from the very beginning. As the saying goes, one should not suspect when using someone. Only by giving 100% trust could Sebastian Quant completely become his power.
“That’s right.”
Sebastian Quant was silent for a while before he spoke again, “I’ve always thought that… you don’t care about that position.”
‘Once I was. But now I’ve changed my mind.”
“May I ask why you suddenly changed your mind?”
Ken Swanson’s eyes became sharp.
He didn’t even need to answer. Sebastian Quant understood after reading it: It was because of Ulric Swanson.
He only found out after Sid Quant Narrow Escape that Ulric Swanson’s leg was not crippled by Ken Swanson at all.
He had been framed for so many years. If it were him, he would have long been unable to tolerate it. However, Ken Swanson could endure until now. It could be seen how strong his heart was.
Sebastian Quant could not help but sigh in his heart. There were talented people in every generation. This generation was destined to be the generation of Ken Swanson.
After a moment of silence, Sebastian Quant said, “So… the fish you want to wait for the most is Ulric Swanson, right?”
“Exactly.”
After another moment of silence, Sebastian Quant took a deep breath and said, “I understand what you mean. Without you, I won’t act rashly. From now on, I, the Quant family, am in the same boat as you. If there’s anything that requires my cooperation, as long as you ask, I will definitely do my best. However, I have a condition.” “Go ahead.”
“After the Murphy family is destroyed, you have to hand Janet Murphy over to me and let me deal with her personally.”
Ken Swanson lowered his eyes. He was not a completely ruthless person. Janet Murphy was once his comrade-in-arms.
However, when he thought about how Sid Quant was half a step into the gates of hell, he became determined.
“Alright, I promise you.”
Sebastian Quant nodded and extended his hand to Ken Swanson. “Happy working with you.”
If Ken Swanson had agreed without hesitation just now, he would have been in a panic. He was afraid that Ken Swanson and Ulric Swanson were the same kind of people.
However, the moment Ken Swanson hesitated, he knew that they were different.
“Happy cooperation.”
The collaboration was officially completed. The way Sebastian Quant looked at Ken Swanson had also changed. He was no longer looking at a junior, but a comrade.
After dinner, Sebastian Quant stood up and bade farewell.
He looked at Melody Fox and said, “Quant family has Insterimond people for generations. If you need my help in Insterimond, just let me know. Especially that idiot Minghao Tian. If Ken Swanson can’t do it, I’ll do it.”
Melody Fox nodded. “Alright, if there’s a need, I won’t stand on ceremony. Thank you, Sebastian.”
Sebastian Quant nodded and said goodbye to the two of them before leaving.
Ken Swanson stood up and realized that Zhang Wenwen was also at the dining table.
When Zhang Wenwen felt Ken Swanson’s gaze, she immediately tightened her neck and looked like she didn’t hear anything.
She was not stupid. Although she did not know the Swanson family people or the Murphy family people, she could tell from their conversation that this concerned a war without smoke in the upper-class circle.
She was just an ordinary person and could not afford to offend any of them, so it was better to reduce her presence as much as possible.
However, at this moment, Melody Fox called her name. “Wenwen.”
Chapter 874
Zhang Wenwen shuddered and had no choice but to respond.
“I’m here…”
Melody Fox realized that Zhang Wenwen was nervous. She reached out to hold her hand and said, “Don’t be afraid. He won’t eat you.”
Zhang Wenwen tried her best to smile. “I know… Sis Melody, your husband must be a good person too.”
Melody Fox held Zhang Wenwen’s hand tightly and introduced her to Ken Swanson. “This is a friend I met in Silverlake. Coincidentally, she’s taking the special talent admission examination with me at Insterimond University.” “Hello, my name is Ken Swanson.” Ken Swanson nodded slightly and took the initiative to greet her.
“H-hello… My name is Zhang Wenwen.”
After Zhang Wenwen finished speaking, she became even more nervous. The other party was obviously a big shot. If not for Sister Melody, she would not have come into contact with someone of this level.
Melody Fox said on behalf of Zhang Wenwen, “She majored in artificial intelligence at the University, and she applied for this exam. I chatted with her because I was wondering if she could work at Ximber Tech if she was unlucky and didn’t get in this time. Don’t worry, she’s a girl who can endure hardships. She can start from the bottom.”
When Zhang Wenwen heard this, she was touched.
She plucked up her courage and said, “Mr. Swanson, you don’t have to make an exception for me to join your company just because of Sister Melody. I’ve heard of Ximber Tech. It’s a company with quite a promising future. You just have to give me an interview qualification and I’ll be grateful.”
“Sure.” Ken Swanson nodded slightly and said, “Since you don’t want to get in through the back door, I’ll test you now.
If your answer is satisfactory, I can make an exception and let you directly work in the core technology department.”
Ken Swanson originally thought that since Melody took the initiative to ask, he could give Zhang Wenwen a chance to work at the grassroots level.
However, without some real ability, it was impossible for her to enter the core department.
However, since Zhang Wenwen had offered to give her the interview qualifications, he could take the opportunity to see if this Zhang Wenwen had the ability.
When Zhang Wenwen heard that the interview was about to begin, she felt her heart beat faster. Her blood seemed to be boiling, and she was both nervous and excited.
She tried to calm herself down and stood up straight. “Go ahead.”
Ken Swanson thought about it and raised a very professional problem.
Melody Fox wasn’t very knowledgeable in this area, so she couldn’t think of an answer immediately.
On one side was Ken Swanson’s company, and on the other side was Zhang Wenwen. Melody Fox could not be biased toward either side, so she compromised and said, Wenwen, you can think about it first. Tell us the answer tomorrow.”
Ken Swanson’s questions could not be found online, so there was no need to worry about Zhang Wenwen secretly checking the answers when she returned.
She had only brought Zhang Wenwen for a meal and not for an interview, therefore, they needed to give her time to think about it.
However, Zhang Wenwen said, “Thank you, Sister Melody. I’ve already thought of the answer.”
Melody Fox was surprised for a moment. She nodded and encouraged Zhang Wenwen to tell him.
Zhang Wenwen took a deep breath and said, “All the Al in the is highly intelligent…”
Zhang Wenwen answered Ken Swanson’s question systematically. At first, she was a little nervous, but the more she talked, the more natural she became. She was almost speaking with confidence and assurance. In theory, she perfectly solved the problem Ken Swanson raised.
After a while, Zhang Wenwen stopped and said, “This is my opinion on your question.”
Ken Swanson looked at Zhang Wenwen with a deep gaze and suddenly asked a completely irrelevant question.
“Who’s your mentor?”
“Mr. Zang Hai, but my initiation teacher is Gordon McComb. I often watch some of his public classes online.
“No wonder…” Ken Swanson nodded approvingly and said, He was my instructor when I was studying abroad.”
Zhang Wenwen was stunned for a moment before her face was filled with envy.
Melody Fox said, “So… what about the inauguration?” Ken Swanson raised his chin slightly and said, “Miss Zhang, congratulations on being accepted. If you get into University Insterimond this time, you can first work part-time on vacation in Future X. If you don’t get in, you can directly work in the core technical department.”
Zhang Wenwen was stunned for a moment before her eyes turned red from excitement.
Melody Fox was also very happy for Zhang Wenwen. It seemed that she had not misjudged her. Since Ken Swanson said so, it meant that Zhang Wenwen had the ability.
“Thank you, thank you… Sis Melody, I really… thank you…” Zhang Wenwen was so happy that she was incoherent. The few of them chatted for a while more. Melody Fox looked at the time and patted Zhang Wenwen’s shoulder, saying, “It’s getting late for you. You should go back to the dormitory and rest early so that you don’t pass the door restriction.”
“Yes, yes!”
After sending Zhang Wenwen away, Ken Swanson suddenly grabbed Melody Fox’s hand.
She looked at Ken Swanson in confusion. Ken Swanson could not hide his excitement and said, “Melody, you’re really my lucky star! You’ve helped me a lot!”
Melody Fox was even more confused.
“Why did you say that all of a sudden?”
Ken Swanson calmed down and explained, “Ximber Tech’s ace product, X-series smart home, was originally scheduled to be released next month, but during the testing process, it suddenly discovered a tricky problem and could only be postponed.
This problem was not big, but if there was a malfunction in the client’s house, someone might die.
“It’s just like the fire at the youth center back then. A smart door locked us all in. X-series also had this problem. However, Zhang Wenwen’s answer just now suddenly gave me inspiration. I think this problem can be perfectly resolved when we go back this time.”
Melody Fox was enlightened.
“No wonder you let her join your core technical team after listening to her.”
“Yes.” Ken Swanson nodded. “Zhang Wenwen is very talented in this area, but her practical experience is still too little. Once she increases her practical experience, she can help Ximber Tech to a large extent.”
“So you’re saying that by some freak combination of circumstances, I’ve helped you poach an excellent talent?” “That’s why you’re my lucky star.”
Melody Fox shrugged. “Forget it. Russell Fox even called me a jinx. I don’t care about the stars. I only care about tomorrow’s auction.”
As she spoke, she sighed and said, “For some reason, I have a feeling that tomorrow’s auction might not go well.” “Then I’ll go with you?”
“Forget it. You have something important to do on this trip. I won’t delay your business because of herbs.”
“Your business is business to me.”
“There’s really no need. I won’t make an unprepared account. With Ruby around, there shouldn’t be any accidents.”
“Alright then. If it doesn’t go well, call me and I’ll come back.”
“Yes, I know.”
The two of them chatted as they walked out.
The sky was already dark. It was already past nine in the evening when they arrived at the hotel.
However, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Chapter 875
Ken Swanson was making a video call, so Melody Fox waved her hand to signal Ken Swanson to ignore it and get up to open the door.
When Melody Fox saw the two people at the door, she was both surprised and expected.
It was none other than Ming Haotian, who had been punched black and blue by Ken Swanson.
When Ming Haotian returned home, he had clearly been beaten up. There was a wound at the corner of his mouth, and he looked terrible.
Standing beside Ming Haotian was an old man who looked somewhat similar to Margaret Swanson. This was Margaret Swanson’s younger brother, Ken Swanson’s granduncle.
“Granduncle?” Melody Fox asked.
As expected, the other party nodded and said with a guilty expression, “I brought this evil creature to apologize to you…
It was said that this granduncle doted on Ming Haotian to the extreme. For him to actually attack Ming Haotian this time meant that he was truly angered.
“This…” Just as Melody Fox was at a loss for words, Ken Swanson ended the video conference early and walked over.
“Granduncle.”
He nodded slightly in greeting.
As his gaze swept across the Ming Haotian, who subconsciously shrunk his neck. It was obvious that he was very afraid of him.
Ken Swanson ignored the wound on Ming Haotian’s face and invited Old Master Ming in.
After sitting down, Old Master Ming explained his purpose for coming again.
“After this kid returned home, your people told me the cause and effect. It’s all because of the misfortune of the family that such an idiot appeared… Cough, cough, cough!”
Perhaps because he was too angry, Old Master Ming began to cough violently as he spoke.
Melody Fox quickly poured a glass of water for the other party.
After drinking two mouthfuls of water, Old Master Ming finally caught his breath.
She looked at Old Master Ming’s expression and asked, Granduncle, are you feeling unwell?”
Old Master Ming waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. The weather is hot and dry. I’m just coughing from a little heat. Evil creature, come over and apologize!”
Ming Haotian gritted his teeth and reluctantly muttered, “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I apologize? Even if I was in the wrong, I was the one who was beaten…”
“You bastard!”
Old Ming slammed the table and said, “If you don’t apologize to me honestly today, I won’t have a son like you!”
When Ming Haotian heard this, he became even more unrestrained.
“Dad, if you really want to cut ties with me, I have nothing to say! Jian Huan and I are truly in love. You can’t break us up just because the two families don’t have a good relationship! I can’t stand living without her anymore!”
As Ming Haotian spoke, he turned around and was about to rush out the door.
“Bastard! Come back!”
However, although Ming Haotian stopped in his tracks, he continued to speak ruthlessly.
“I can come back, but you have to accept Jian Huan. Otherwise… just pretend that you don’t have a son like me!” “You-“
Melody Fox suddenly said, “Granduncle, let him go. He will definitely come back in less than a week.”
Old Mister Ming looked at her hesitantly. Seeing that Ken Swanson also nodded, he said coldly to Minghao Tian, “Get lost! Come back and kneel and apologize when you’ve thought it through!”
“That day will never come!”
Ming Haotian turned around and rushed out of the door.
After Minghao Tian left, Old Master Ming quickly became worried.
“Ah Ken, Melody, will something happen to him…”
Melody Fox said, “Granduncle, listen to me. Stop his bank card and cut off all his sources of income. He will definitely give in.”
“This… What if the two of them elope?”
Melody Fox smiled gently and said, “You can rest assured about this. I can guarantee that Jian Huan is definitely not sincere to him. When he has a problem eating, we’ll know who really cares about him.”
Ken Swanson also said, “Granduncle, I remember that before you had Minghao Tian, you wanted to adopt a child from a branch family?”
Grandpa Ming nodded. “That’s right. This child is very pitiful. Both his parents died. Although I didn’t adopt him later, I helped him until now. This child is also very hardworking. He’s now a freshman at Insterimond University.”
“That’s good. Take this opportunity to acknowledge him as your son.”
Old Master Ming was stunned. After combining Melody Fox’s words, he quickly understood what Ken Swanson meant.
“You want to use him to make everyone think that I’ve really cut ties with that bastard?”
“Mm. If Jian Huan know that Ming Haotian lost his value, she’ll show her tail one day. If Minghao doesn’t see her true colors, he’ll be completely useless as a son. Let’s give him one last chance while there’s still hope.”
Old Master Ming gritted his teeth. He knew that if Ming Haotian continued like this, he would be crippled. Thus, he nodded vigorously. Alright, I’ll listen to you!
As for the person you want to acknowledge…
“Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person to burn the bridge after crossing it. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I’ll treat him as my biological son. I’ve had the intention to acknowledge him as my godson all these years, but because of that bastard’s personality, I’m afraid that if I acknowledge this child, that guy will be even more hopeless.”
Ken Swanson shook his head lightly.
“No, I still believe that Minghao Tian is not a bad person. As long as we see that woman’s true colors, I believe he will understand our good intentions. If he’s really hopeless, don’t you have another son?”
“Yes! Then it’s settled. I’ll arrange it tomorrow… Oh, no, I’ll arrange it tonight. I’ll let everyone I know ignore his life.” Old Ming stood up and quickly bade farewell.
After the door closed, Ken Swanson asked, “How can you be sure that Jian Huan isn’t sincere with him? If they really love each other, then what we asked Old Master Ming to do today will be a slap to our own faces.”
“I’ve seen her today,” Melody Fox said. “She’s a very high-ranking girl. The thing that makes me most certain that she doesn’t love Ming Haotian is that she’s sick. Although I didn’t take her pulse, I’m pretty sure she’s sick.”
“… Huh? What illness?”
Melody Fox deliberately kept him in suspense. “You’ll find out soon enough.”
Ken Swanson also cooperated and said, “Alright, I’ll keep an eye to see what strange illness she has. Now… it’s your turn to help me take a look at her illness.”
Melody Fox asked in shock, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Ken Swanson’s lips curled into a smile. That smile clearly meant something.
Melody Fox immediately understood. She immediately glared at him and said, “Don’t talk about these indecent things. I still have something to do.”
“It’s already so late at night. What else could it be?”
“I asked Number Spencer to get me a list of people who will be attending the auction tomorrow. when your granduncle came in, he sent me a text message saying that he had gotten it and was on his way back. He should be here soon.”
Ken Swanson sighed and said, “Alright, then you can treat me tomorrow.”
After saying that, Ken Swanson carried the computer with a regretful expression and went to deal with the matters of the Insterimond branch company.
Melody Fox shook her head with an incurable expression.
Who would have thought that this guy had such a side to him in private?
The refined scum was referring to him, right?
Coincidentally, Spencer arrived.
