Female Novel
Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei Chapter 271
Chapter 271 Jessica said, “It takes both husband and wife to have a child. You‘re not wrong to only payfor your half.”
Of course, Hank felt that he was above any fault.
He took a sip of wine and replied, “The Wiltspoon Hotel lives up to its name as the finest hotel. The redwine here is more exceptional than what we usually have.”
Jessica responded with a smile, “Well, considering the event, I wouldn‘t expect any less. It‘s a pity thatonly small–time CEOs and elites of our field are here. Major CEOs like Mr. Stone and Mr. York aren‘tattending.”
She would love to check out an influential man like Mr. York again.
Jessica stumbled upon the man of the hour the last time. Alas, she could not get a look at Mr. York‘sface. She wondered if Mr. York was as distinguished, aloof, and handsome as described in the rumors.
“We‘ll always have the chance to meet people like Mr. York and Mr. Stone in the future.”
Hank consoled Jessica. It was a situation he found regrettable, more so than Jessica, as he was theyoung professional while she was merely his secretary.
If he could have a quick word with a man like Mr. York, Hank could expect to jump ship to a betteropportunity, perhaps even work at York Corporation. “Hank, I hope you can be a big CEO somedaytoo.” Jessica dreamed about Hank flying solo and being his own boss with his own company. Shewould edge out Liberty and become
Mrs. Brown, the wife of a CEO.
Hank grinned and answered, “I‘ll be my own boss when I establish enough network and capital.”
The pair enjoyed a good chat and laughed for a bit before saying hello to acquaintances in the room totalk shop.
Jessica remained by Hank‘s side, chiming in occasionally when Hank talked business with others.
She believed that Liberty‘s appearance would be an eyesore to others if the latter were here tonight.Liberty would be a bad reflection on Hank as people would mock Hank for having such a fat and uglywife.
Besides, Liberty was out of touch with society and could no longer keep up with the times. Even ifLiberty were to attend the social event with Hank, she would not be able to get a word in on thebusiness side of things.
Liberty‘s career break might only be for three–odd years, but three years were enough to change manypeople and things in these rapid–developing times.
“Mr. Stevens, who‘s that young man there? Everyone seems to act nice to him.”
Hank asked one of the CEOs who had a partnership with Waltham Electronics. The young man Hankwas looking at was none other than Shawn.
Mr. Stevens watched as Shawn was in his element, socializing with the crowd. Mr. Stevens remarkedwith a smile, “Ah, Mr. Brown. It must be your first time attending this kind of event. It makes sense whyyou wouldn‘t know him. I guess he‘s the most honorable guest tonight. “He‘s Shawn Lowe, thesuccessor of Lowe Enterprise. However, he hasn‘t taken over the company yet and is still in training,but he‘s
the CEO‘s son, the young heir of the Lowes. Many people are being nice because they know who heis. Nothing wrong with making nice with the future CEO of Lowe Enterprise.”novelbin
Mr. Stevens explained, “Lowe Enterprise is no competition to York Corporation and Stone Group inWiltspoon, but it‘s still a much bigger corporation than ours. The Lowes are quite an influential and richfamily. Shawn usually attends the upper society events. Mr. Lowe probably arranged for him to come totonight‘s event.
“Since he‘s green in the business world, he needs to hone his people skills and network. We‘reprofessional elites in our field. Shawn will know the extent of o
