Chapter 227: Chapter 231

Chapter 231 Toby Was Going to Be a Dad

Crestview was a particularly economically developed province, ranking in the top three for national

GDP.

Willowbrook was another coastal city, its status in Crestview was not low, at least it was among the top

five.

When the group arrived at Willowbrook, Yvonne was surprisingly waiting for them at the highway exit.

Seeing everyone arrive weary and travel–worn, she excitedly shook their hands, “You must be tired,

right? Come on, follow me back to the hotel for some rest.”

Facing Yvonne’s enthusiasm, Greyson said, “President Xiao, you’re too kind. Let us arrange the hotel!”

“How could that be?”

“Mr. Byrne, you really slapped my face too hard.”

“Don’t talk about Willowbrook, as long as you were within Crestview, it had to be arranged by me.”

“Hahaha-”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Paloma said, “Alright, alright, since our boss Xiao is so generous, you can arrange it.”

Hearing this, Yvonne said, “Ms. Frazier slapped my face again. It’s not about money, it’s about the

hospitality of us Crestview people.”

Everyone followed her to the hotel, where Yvonne arranged for them to stay in the most upscale sea–

view suite.

Even the staff had luxurious single rooms, while Greyson and Paloma had the highest standard suites.

“Take a short rest, we will eat together later.”

Crestview had convenient transportation, and it surprisingly took the group just over an hour to get

there from the highway.

Yvonne was about to leave when Greyson called out to stop her.

“Mr. Xiao, have a seat for a while.”

Yyonne quickly understood, “Alright, I’ll make the tea.”

In the upscale suites where Greyson and others lived, there were tea rooms, and tea leaves were

readily available.

Yvonne immediately got to work, personally brewing the tea herself.

Greyson and Paloma sat across from each other, while the others each returned to their rooms.

After some idle chatter, Yvonne took the initiative to ask, “Do the two bosses have something to say?”

“I had a feeling that you guys didn’t really come here to eat.”

Greyson laughed, “You’re overthinking it, why wouldn’t we come if there’s food?”

“But indeed, there was a small matter I wanted to ask you about.”

“Mm!”

Yvonne handed over the brewed tea, then quietly listened to Greyson

speak.

Greyson asked, “What happened to President Shao who fought with you for the controlling stake last

time?”

Seeing Greyson mention Boss Shao, Yvonne snorted, “What else could he do? Continue to be a

hooligan, causing trouble everywhere.”

“This person had a bad reputation in Crestview, he stank in the circle.”

Greyson glanced at Paloma, neither of them spoke.

Yvonne said, “I heard he was planning to offer his secretary to some big boss to curry favor, but the

secretary broke off with him, and he’s been suppressing her everywhere.”

Sure enough, this happened. It seems that Zora wasn’t lying.

Paloma asked nonchalantly, “Does the secretary have that kind of relationship with him?”

Yvonne shook her head, “I don’t know about that.”

“But I had met his secretary several times, she was quite attractive and had a good personality.”

“Her professional skills were acceptable, I guess. She probably didn’t have much of a background, but

she seemed to be quite virtuous.”

“This girl was quite pitiful. After refusing Mr. Shao’s request, she was driven to desperation by him.”

Yvonne asked, “Why did the two bosses suddenly start asking about these things?”

Paloma said, “To be honest, we just acquired Atlantic Studios, and Zora has applied for a job with us.”

“Oh?”

Yvonne finally understood, it turned out that the two were after Zora.

Otherwise, I might not have been able to ask them for help.

“I can’t really comment on that, after all, it’s your company’s personnel arrangement. If you think she’s

okay, why not give her a trial for a few months?”

“Although I was dissatisfied with Manager Shao, I had no grudge against her. She was also just an

employee.”

“Alright, we knew, thank you!”

Neither of them asked much.

Seeing that it was about time, Yvonne invited everyone to have dinner.

The restaurant downstairs was very upscale.

What Greyson didn’t expect was that Yvonne’s father also came in person, as well as her fiancé.

Yvonne’s fiancé was a tall and thin man who had studied abroad, wore glasses, and was gentle and

refined.

The two of them standing together actually made quite a good match.

Mr. Shaw, upon hearing that Greyson and his party had arrived, was particularly delighted. He

extended his plump hand, exclaiming, “Welcome, welcome!”

“It was our honor and pride that the two bosses could come to Willowbrook.

“Time’s up, Mr. Shaw,” Greyson said.

Mr. Shaw laughed heartily, “Not at all exaggerated, there really aren’t many young and promising

individuals like you.”

“It was a rare opportunity to see you today, you must stay in Willowbrook for a few more days.

Tomorrow, I will put aside all the things in my hands and accompany you throughout the day.”

“Yvonne, arrange it, we will accompany the two bosses to the mountains.”

This place was not far from the mountains, and Mr. Shaw actually had this plan.

Greyson, however, waved his hand, “Forget about sightseeing, if Mr. Shaw is available, take us for a

tour of your factory.”

“Alright, alright, it’s arranged!”

Mr. Shaw waved happily.

Bertha followed the two, feeling their passion.

Although my dad was also entertained by others, most of the time, he was the one flattering others.

You should know that even though Temple Real Estate was worth hundreds of billions, in a place like

Ravero, they still had to play by others‘ rules.

Unlike Greyson and Paloma, most of the time, people were asking them for help.

Therefore, wherever they were, they were always treated as honored guests.

The people of Crestview were particular about their food and also emphasized on health preservation.

Their dishes were low in oil and salt, mainly steamed, pursuing the original flavor.

Besides, he had a particularly good tolerance for alcohol.

Mr. Shaw’s alcohol tolerance was at least a bottle and a half, Greyson and Paloma were simply no

match for him.

After returning to the room, Greyson was already drunk and drowsy.

The next day, they visited the factory of Dongfeng Pharmaceutical.

No wonder the Xiao father and daughter were able to make their private business so big, their

workshops and management were all modernized.

Many workshops were fully mechanized, requiring no manual operation at all.

The workshop was clean, tidy, and spotless.

Such enterprises indeed were a blessing for the local area and the

country.

After touring the workshop, Mr. Shaw asked the finance department for the reports, but was refused by

Paloma.

Although Blue Print Investment held shares, there was no need to audit the accounts.

They believed that the Xiao father and daughter could run the business well.

Despite Mr. Shaw and his daughter’s repeated pleas, Greyson and his group still took a plane back to

Ravero.

The matters outside had to be taken care of, and the affairs at home

could not be neglected either.

After all, Ravero was Greyson’s stronghold.

Originally, Paloma had planned to visit Slesathe In–Depth Tech, but considering the lack of time, she

also cancelled the plan.

Crestview and its team had added another company to their portfolio.

From then on, the film and television industry would also open up the

situation.

In fact, for companies like this, Greyson didn’t really care about how much money they could make, it

was mainly about the resources.

Holding such a company in hand, the artists under its banner were the future advertising capital of

various industries.

After returning to Ravero, he took another two days off to properly make it up to Paloma.

That day, just as I was preparing to go back to school, I ran into my aunt in the neighborhood.

Seeing the two chickens in her hand, Greyson asked in surprise, “Aunt, when did you come?”

Auntie was grinning from ear to ear, “Your sister–in–law is pregnant, I came over to take care of her for

a few days.”

“Toby said you were too busy and not to disturb you for now.”

Holy shit!

This Toby was impressive!

He was faster than me and pretended to be innocent. I suspected he

had practiced before!
