Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 117 America’s Good Assistant
Daniel understood Chuck's expression and immediately defended as if he was greatly insulted:

"Betty is the assistant assigned to me by my father. I have no interest in her!"

Chuck suddenly had an "eureka moment."

"Actually, given the relationship between us, you can find other excuses, such as appreciating her talent, but no matter what, I am very happy to hear the truth from your mouth."

"..."

Daniel went EMO on the spot.

He thought that forcing him to tell the truth was the reason why Jamie and Chuck made an appointment with Betty, so he asked on the spot:
"Then do I still need to call to tell Betty to come back?"

Chuck turned to look at Jamie.

"of course."

Jamie took a step forward and held out his right hand to Daniel.

"Let's make a deal. I know you definitely dislike your assistant very much, but you can't fire her directly because of your father."

Daniel's face was expressionless, but he was secretly proud of himself.

Jamie was wrong this time because he had forced Betty to resign herself.

But immediately Daniel thought of another question.

Victoria's Secret's advertising design plan was Betty's, and then this plan was taken by Jamie, so it seems that he has to invite Betty back again?

When he thought of this, Daniel immediately became unhappy.

At this time Jamie's voice continued to sound.

"You are assuming the position of editor-in-chief of "Mode", and many of your subordinates must be dissatisfied. If you rely on your assistant's advertising design plan to win the Victoria's Secret order, you will not be able to use this matter to establish your authority in the company."

"I happen to appreciate your assistant's design concept very much. How about this? You try to convince her to be my assistant."

"This way you can explain to your father that I poached your assistant, and at the same time, you can openly use your assistant's plan for your own use and gain a foothold in the company. What do you think?"

Daniel looked at Jamie with shock on his face.

The conditions were so good that he couldn't believe it.

"Why, are you not happy?"

Jamie asked.

Only then did Daniel react. Jamie's hand stretched out to him was still hanging free, and he immediately grasped it with both hands, and held it tightly.

It’s as if Jamie is afraid of going back on his word!
"Actually we should have met sooner! I mean that's a great idea!"

-

In an apartment building in Queens.

After Daniel explained his purpose through the door, Betty opened the door.

However, what greeted Daniel was not an invitation to come into the house, but a barrage of questions.

"So you've come up with new ways to tease and humiliate me, and you're going to mess with me again? Or maybe Mr. Meade discovered your abominable behavior and ordered you to get me back, just because I'm the only one who can't follow The assistant you slept with?”

Daniel was very embarrassed by the question.

"Betty, I'm sorry. The way I asked you to serve as a model yesterday was really inappropriate. I regretted it and felt very upset afterwards."

"I'm sorry, although I really need a job to support myself, but I don't accept charity, and I don't need to be pitied by a bastard like you!"

After saying this, Betty was about to close the door.

Daniel quickly held the door with his hands.

His initial plan was to trick Betty into returning to the company, then tell her that the advertising plan was favored by Jamie, and then persuade Betty to give him the advertising plan on the condition that she recommend Betty to Jamie as an assistant.

Seeing that Betty didn't buy it, Daniel was about to tell the truth.

At this moment, a beautiful young woman came over with a boy and a supermarket shopping bag in her hands.

"Betty, is this your friend?"

Before Betty could speak, Daniel's eyes lit up.

"Hi, hello, I'm Daniel Meade. You look familiar to me. Have you been on TV or in a magazine before?"

Daniel took the initiative to hand his hand to the young woman.

"Hello, I'm Hilda Soulez, I'm Betty's sister and this is my son Justin."

Hilda freed her hand and shook Daniel's hand.

It turns out that you are already married!

Daniel felt a little regretful, but his eyes were still fixed on Hilda's sexy figure.

Hilda saw that Daniel was a handsome guy, so she didn’t mind him staring at her like this, and even took the initiative to introduce him:
"I used to compete in the Miss Teen USA pageant, and I think you saw pictures of me around that time."

Daniel was about to find out where Hilda was in the beauty pageant when Betty suddenly rushed out of the house, holding the hands of her sister and nephew and heading home.

This rude behavior puzzled Hilda.

However, Betty only used one sentence to change Hilda's attitude 180 degrees.

"He is the bastard who humiliated and teased me and forced me to resign!"

what?
Hilda immediately stopped and turned to look at Daniel angrily.

Daniel took a step back in fright, raised his hand and was about to explain.

"I'll give you three seconds to disappear from my door immediately!"

Seeing that Hilda looked like a lioness about to bite someone, Daniel stepped back and explained:

"I'm really here to apologize to Betty. Can you guys calm down first? Maybe I should come back at another time."

He was answered by a slamming of the door.

in the apartment.

The first thing Sydal did when he put down his shopping bags was to ask Betty what was going on and why Daniel came to see her again.

Betty was about to explain when her phone suddenly rang.

The call was from Daniel.

Betty was still hesitant to answer the call, but Xidar came over and grabbed the phone, picked it up, and cursed into the phone:
"You bastard, if you don't leave, I will call the police!"

However, what came from the other end of the phone was the voice of a strange man.

"Ma'am, please calm down. The bastard you scolded is standing next to me right now. Can you let me say a few words to Betty?"

Xidal asked cautiously:
"who are you?"

"I'm standing right in front of your house, why don't you open the door and see for yourself?"

Just as Hilda looked up at the door, her son Justin had already rushed over, opened the door mirror and took a look outside.

"Oh buy ga!"

Justin turned his head and looked at his mother and aunt in shock.

"You'll never guess who I saw!"

"Who?" Hilda and Betty asked in unison.

"Jamie Dutton! Author of "Percy Jackson", my idol!" Justin shouted.

Xida and Betty were stunned at the same time.

Outside the apartment door, Jamie returned the phone to Daniel.

The next second, the apartment door opened.All three of Betty's family crowded at the door, their faces full of disbelief.

Jamie locked the target at a glance.

Betty wearing braces and old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.

But it was Betty's nephew Justin who was the first to greet Jamie.

"Mr. Dutton, do you remember me? At the Strand Bookstore at the end of August, I bought a copy of "Percy Jackson" signed by you, and we had a few words at that time."

Sidharth on the side immediately apologized for his son.

There were at least a thousand readers at that book signing, and more than two months had passed. How could Jamie still remember the situation at that time?

To her surprise, however, Jamie actually remembered.

He even accurately recounted the conversation between the two at the time.

Justin said that his future dream is to be a director, so Jamie wrote an extra sentence on the page when he signed.

To the future great director Justin.

This excited Justin so much that Jamie himself actually remembered him.

Hilda's beautiful eyes also flashed with curiosity, and she suddenly became very fond of Jamie.

On the contrary, Betty on the side was very calm.

Seeing Jamie and Daniel together, she immediately thought of the advertising plan she designed for Victoria's Secret.

This is probably the real reason why Daniel came to her to apologize!

"So can I be invited in to sit in the house?"

Jamie asked humorously.

Only then did Betty and the other three react, and quickly stepped aside to invite Jamie into the house.

As for Daniel, for Jamie's sake, he was also invited into the house by Betty.

As soon as he sat down, Jamie directly explained his purpose.

At the same time, he also told Betty about the deal between him and Daniel.

This made Daniel very embarrassed.

Fortunately, neither Betty nor Hilda has recovered from Jamie's decision to invite Betty to be his assistant.

"Mr Dutton, is this true?"

Betty was so excited that her voice trembled.

Jamie shrugged.

"Unless you think I'm so bored that I'll team up with your old boss to play tricks on you, or you're still reluctant to let go of your job at Mode magazine."

Before she finished speaking, Betty interrupted excitedly:
"No, I'd love to!"

Daniel breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, took the initiative to stand up, shook hands with Betty and apologized again.

When it was over, Daniel winked at Jamie, indicating that he had to leave first.

Originally, he wanted to stay a few more minutes to see if there was a chance to get to know Betty's sister Hilda better.

But when he saw the unkind look on Hilda's face, Daniel decisively gave up the idea.

As soon as Daniel, the eyesore, left, Hilda immediately came and sat down next to Betty.

"Mr. Dutton, may I ask one more question, is it really just because of the advertising plan Betty designed that you asked Betty to be your assistant?"

Upon hearing this, Betty also looked at Jamie nervously.

Daniel's lessons were still fresh in her mind, and Betty didn't want to be deceived again.

Jamie replied calmly:

"The point is of course not the advertising plan, but the perspective of ordinary people shown in the advertising plan."

"My current status means that I can no longer look at some issues like ordinary people. And whether my novels or the various products I design and launch, they mainly deal with ordinary people, so I need it very much. An assistant who can give me advice from a normal person’s perspective.”

"This assistant must be a female so that she can complement me in gender. The most important thing is that she must be reliable enough to help me keep some secrets. So Miss Suarez, do you think you are qualified to be this assistant?" A role?"

Betty nodded vigorously.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Hilda's eyes.

Her intuition told her that Jamie was still hiding something about hiring Betty as his assistant.

But everyone has their own secrets, and Hilda just needs to make sure Jamie isn't a jerk like Daniel.

In fact, Jamie did have another reason for asking Betty to be his assistant.

With more and more things on his hands, Jamie urgently needs an assistant to help him share the tedious tasks of daily life.

But it is not easy to find a reliable candidate.

Although Betty looks ordinary and can even be said to be ugly, this turned out to be an advantage for Jamie.

Jamie is not Daniel. The main purpose of finding an assistant is to sleep with him.

What Jamie needs is a reliable assistant.

Judging from Betty's performance in that show in her previous life, she definitely meets Jamie's requirements.

Betty is a creative and smart girl.

He is diligent and hard-working at work. Not only can he successfully complete every task assigned by his boss, but he can also act as a perfect wingman for his boss when he is dating different girls, including helping his boss out of trouble and telling lies.

This is the good assistant that all time management gurus dream of, and leaving it to Daniel would be a complete waste.

Now that Jamie has encountered him, of course he must cut him off decisively.

Betty was very happy to get her new job, and Hilda and Justin were also sincerely happy for her.

Betty even plucked up the courage to invite Jamie to stay for dinner with their family, and proudly told Jamie that the food her father cooked was very delicious.

Hilda quickly added that their father was not only a good cook, but also an excellent amateur boxer.

Fortunately, Daniel left in time, otherwise Betty and Hilton's father would have caught him and beaten him severely when he came back.

Of course Jamie could hear the warning in Hilda's words, but he didn't take it to heart.

His body has evolved through space spring water, and is far from being as strong as it looks.

And since he was 12 years old, John has successively invited retired special forces instructors from various countries to conduct all-round training for Jamie, including firearms shooting, fighting, and some practical detection and anti-tracking methods.

Betty's father is just an amateur boxer. It's okay to scare ordinary people, but it has no deterrent effect on Jamie.

In fact, Betty's father Ignacio is a very kind old man. After returning home, he heard that Jamie hired Betty and provided him with a generous salary, and he immediately showed a very friendly attitude.

When they met and shook hands, Ignacio secretly tested the strength of Jamie's hand, but it felt as hard as a vise.

He realized on the spot that Jamie was a ruthless character and could not be compared to a playboy like Daniel.

But because of this, Ignacio became more and more relieved about Jamie hiring Betty as his assistant.

After all, with her daughter's appearance, it is indeed difficult for her boss to have any wrong ideas.

The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere. As Betty said, Ignacio's cooking skills were indeed good.

Before leaving, Jamie gave Betty her first job as an assistant.

Go to the nearest bookstore, buy a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey, and read it through in an evening.
