Chapter 1616
When His Eyes Opened
Elliot entered the first floor of the building. All the employees on the first floor shouted in unison:
âMr. Foster good morning!â
âMr. Foster Happy New Year!â
âWelcome to the return of President Foster!â
âBoss, itâs Mr. Schaffer who asked us to shout slogans to welcome you.â The vice president came over
and explained.
Elliot: âI see. Is he here?â
The vice president said, âHere. Iâll be waiting for you in your office. Do you think we should have a
meeting first, or send red envelopes to employees first?â
Elliot: âSend red envelopes first. Letâs go!â
âBoss, everyone is looking forward to seeing you, so this yearâs red envelopes, can you personally send
them out?â The vice president suggested.
Elliot: âYeah.â
He strode towards the elevator. When he came to the office, he saw Ben Schaffer who was drinking
coffee at a glance.
Ben Schaffer gestured to the big bag with red envelopes on the table with his eyes and said, âThe vice
president told me that the employees below are crying out to see you, so you will send the red envelopes
this year.â
âGot it.â Elliot walked to the desk and sit down there.
The familiar feeling returned to the body little by little.
His career, his ambitions, all came to the fore.
Ben Schaffer sighed, âI stayed up late last night talking to your sister on the phone, and now I canât open
my sleepy eyes. The long-distance relationship is really hard. Itâs even harder than the coffee I drink now.
Gwen is free every day at noon, I can only stay up all night to call her.â
Elliot was deeply moved by his spirit: âShe has nothing now, you chase her so hard, donât you think she
can really become a supermodel? She didnât become a supermodelâ¦â
âElliot, you think me too superficially. I donât want her to become a supermodel at all⦠If she becomes a
supermodel and makes a lot of money, do you think she can still like me? Now I have no fame, no
money, and not much knowledge, so I have a money filter for me.â
âYour analysis is good.â Elliot said sharply, âI can see that you have been PUA by Gwen during this
period of time.â
âWhat do you mean? I was PUA by her?â Ben Schaffer put down his coffee cup with a âbangâ, âWhy didnât
I find out?â
Elliot narrowed his eagle eyes: âWhy are you so humble as the chief financial officer of Sterling Group?
Gwen will be a supermodel in the future, she is just a beautiful vase in front of you.â
Ben Schaffer couldnât help laughing. And said, âSheâs your own sister, why do you say that to her?
Besides, if Iâm being PUA like this, I think youâre being PUA by Avery too. You are the big boss of the
dignified Sterling Group. She is just a doctor, so why do you suffer from her anger?â
Elliot: âSince you donât listen to my advice, then you can continue to endure it.â
Ben Schaffer asked, âHey, when did you advise me? Do you want me to give up Gwen? But my parents
like her very much.â
Elliot: âYou are looking for a wife yourself, not for your parents.â
âBut I also like her very much.â Ben Schaffer blushed, âGwen is quite unique. Every time she hits me, I
feel refreshed, more effective than taking tonics.â
Elliot raised his brows and questioned. âYouâve already started taking tonics?â
Ben Schaffer: âArenât we talking about Gwen? Can your focus not go astray?â
âI think your taking tonics is more serious.â Elliot tapped his fingers on the table, â You⦠canât do it?â
âNo! I didnât take tonics. Itâs my mother who thinks I should make up at my age. She stewed me some
strange soups that I donât know what herbs were put in it, and it was very refreshing to drink.â Ben
Schaffer said here, his face With a smirk, âWhy donât I ask my mother to cook it for you next time?â
âNo, Iâm fine.â Elliot rejected his kindness.
âBy the way, I almost forgot to tell you something important!â The smile on Ben Schafferâs face
disappeared, and he suddenly became serious.
