Chapter 771
Always, Chris Shelby had harbored a certain distrust towards Jake Johnson. After all, Jake Johnson
had previously been part of the Jefferson Group. If Jake Johnson hadn't avoided any major missteps,
Chris Shelby would have directed Esther to kick him out long ago. But after this test, it was clear that
Jake Johnson was indeed a trustworthy individual!
Upon hearing this, Jake Johnson gave a dry laugh and said, "Mr. Shelby, under your wise leadership,
how could I dare betray the Chester Group? Even if you offered me a billion, I would not betray Chester
Group!"
Jake Johnson was speaking the truth. After all, compared to life itself, money was unimportant. If he
dared to betray the Chester Group, he was certain that he would be dead by now.
"Consider this billion as your reward," Chris Shelby said as he extended his hand, pushing the check
on the table towards Jake.
"Mr. Shelby, this..." Seeing this, Jake Johnson was completely stunned. Was Chris Shelby really giving
him a billion? Was this a test or something else? For a moment, Jake Johnson was caught in a
dilemma, uncertain whether to take the check or not.
Seeing the hesitation on Jake Johnson's face, Chris Shelby calmly said, "Take it. The Chester Group
will not shortchange any meritorious servant. You did well this time, you deserve this money."
To Chris Shelby, a billion was nothing. After all, it wasn't his money. Using it to win people over was a
good deal.
"Thank you, Mr. Shelby!" Jake Johnson replied, "Rest assured, I will serve the Chester Group till my
last breath and never betray you or Mrs. Shelby. If I dare to betray, may I be struck by lightning!"
At this point, Jake Johnson was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He had made the right bet!
Chris Shelby was indeed very generous. A billion was readily given to him.
Seeing Jake Johnson's ecstatic face, Chris Shelby rolled his eyes and said, "But don't get too excited
too soon! This money isn't easy to earn. I have a task for you."
"What task?" Jake Johnson asked cautiously.
"The Chester Group is about to initiate a northern expansion strategy, so Esther and I discussed and
decided to have you take the lead in the north! You know, leading this front is not easy, especially when
our opponent is the Nance Group. Middleton is Nance Group's territory, and you can easily be in
danger. So think about it, if you agree, take the money. If you don't, leave the money. But rest assured,
you will still be the general manager of the Chester Group."
With that, Chris Shelby tapped the check on the table. He wasn't forcing Jake Johnson. If Jake
Johnson wasn't willing, it was no problem. There was always a brave man under the heavy reward. He
didn't believe that someone wouldn't be tempted by a billion. Jake Johnson widened his eyes, staring
incredulously at the scene in front of him.novelbin
After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Shelby! I will go through fire
and water to open the door for Chester Group into Middleton!"
Money certainly moves the heart. Especially when it's a billion! It's an amount that many people can't
earn in their entire lives! For this money, even if there was a risk to his life, it was worth a try!
Seeing Jake Johnson agreeing, a smile crept up on Chris Shelby's face. He waved his hand and said,
"Good, then go pack up, we leave today!"
