Chapter 454 Ivanka's Changes
The assistant who has been following Gilbert Jr. recently is Ivanka. When this girl first arrived at Gilbert Jr.'s assistant office, she was bullied by other colleagues.

At that time, she would hide in a corner and cry alone, but then she would cheer up and work hard.

She wanted to tell the people in the office that she was not able to enter this office because of her family background or beauty.

After working in the assistant office for a few months, Ivanka helped Gilbert Jr. to deal with the South Africans, and the fruit company successfully invested $500 million in Tesla.

Soon after, Ivanka replaced Anna as Gilbert Jr.'s personal assistant.

Anna has more important things to do. She is already an executive of the fruit company and Melon Studio, and is the commercial spokesperson for Little Gilbert. She is very busy.

Usually the secretary around the boss has a lot of power because they can have a say with the boss.

The same is true for Ivanka, who has become a person who has a say in Wall Street and Silicon Valley. After all, although Gilbert Jr. is a director, everyone knows that Fruit Investment Group has become a behemoth in recent years.

The Forbes Rich List says that Gilbert Jr. has assets of $300 billion, but many industry insiders think that is conservative.

Today, Little Gilbert should have assets worth 40 billion US dollars. Looking at those successful companies on the stock market, they are more or less related to Little Gilbert.

I'm afraid the only companies that have nothing to do with Gilbert Jr. nowadays are those in the energy and military sectors.

In fact, David had previously suggested that Gilbert invest in energy companies or companies in the military industry. Energy is hard currency these days, and the military industry is extremely profitable.

But Gilbert Jr. refused and said he would not enter these two fields.

Ivanka also asked Gilbert Jr. why he made such a decision?
Little Gilbert said something in Chinese: "You can't chew too much!"

Ivanka understood what it meant at that time, but she understood it later. After becoming Gilbert's assistant, she also came into contact with many people she had never been able to contact before.

Her father Donald also met these upper-class bigwigs, but Donald was very direct and said that he couldn't stand these people. So after going to a few parties, he never went again.

The people who came to Gilbert Jr. were more complicated. They were not just family consortiums from the upper class, such as the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, families that survived in stories and conspiracy theories.

These families all came to little Gilbert, which meant that little Gilbert was qualified to integrate into their circle.

These people often talked to Gilbert Jr. behind closed doors and invited him to some parties. Donald went a few times, but Gilbert Jr. simply refused.

This made Ivanka a little confused. Isn't little Gilbert afraid of offending these people?
I'm not really afraid. They are all powerful people. If I mess with Little Gilbert, I'll be messing with myself. Besides, Little Gilbert is not such an easy person to mess with.

"These people are always thinking about exchange, always thinking about benefits, and are always greedy." This is Little Gilbert's evaluation of this group of people.

In addition to these people, there are also some squid man groups who come to lobby Little Gilbert to support them.

Although the squids seem united in the eyes of outsiders, there are many factions within them. This faction has this idea, and that faction has that idea, but they all need money to realize their ideas.

So rather than saying these people came to seek support, it would be more accurate to say they came to blackmail little Gilbert.

If Gilbert Jr. doesn't support it, they will announce that he will be expelled from the squid team.

Ivanka once met someone who called themselves the Earth Squid Organization, who claimed that the entire Earth was the land promised by God.

If they want to take back the promised land, they first need to launch a just jihad, and jihad requires money, so Gilbert Jr. needs to take out 100 billion US dollars to support them.

Ivanka was serving as a secretary at the time, and her brain almost crashed after hearing the organization's reasons.

She suspected that there was something wrong with her, otherwise the world would not be so absurd, people should not say such stupid things, and God would not create such a creature.

Of course, Gilbert Jr. refused. Ten billion dollars? He didn't want to give even a cent.

So the representative of this organization got angry and announced that little Gilbert was not a child of God and should wait for divine punishment!
Little Gilbert never believed in this kind of nonsense. If God was in charge, how could he allow evil to wreak havoc and bad people to be so arrogant?

After the group was kicked out, Ivanka asked Gilbert Jr.: "Boss, if these people are so stupid, why do you still want to meet them?"

Little Gilbert sighed and said, “You have no choice but to go through some things while wearing this skin.

George went through this, too, and he gave $5 million.”

Ivanka knows George Lucas, the director of "Star Wars".

"What if you don't give the money? Will something go wrong?" Ivanka said worriedly.

"No," Little Gilbert shook his head and said, "I have already given money to the largest organizations. These small organizations are nothing to worry about. They will help solve the problem."

Gilbert Jr. does not support extreme groups based on human conscience and stance. He even refused to attend a fundraising dinner when Natalie Portman wanted to invite him.

The funds raised at this fundraising dinner are mainly used to lobby the Washington masters, that is, the powerful squid lobbying group, who are active in high society to seek support.

Logically speaking, Gilbert Jr. had previously made his position clear, that he supports liberals.

But another group of people still refused to let him go. In the past few years, tireless lobbyists often came to his door, disturbing little Gilbert's peace.

However, the situation has now been eased. With the strong figure of Gilbert Jr., the liberals were able to stand up for once and protect their leader.

Although Gilbert Jr.'s behavior was not in line with doctrine, the current situation forced the liberals to rely on Gilbert Jr. to take the lead, so they did not care about that.

Ivanka also learned a lot of philosophical principles from little Gilbert, which benefited her a lot.

Once when chatting on the set, Ivanka heard so many stories about bad people that she couldn't help but ask, "Boss, do you think there are more good people or bad people in this world?"

"Good guy? Bad guy?" Little Gilbert smiled incomprehensibly: "I didn't expect you would think about this question." "I just expressed my feelings."

"It seems that the current world situation has made you realize it." Little Gilbert stopped laughing and said seriously: "I think people are both good and bad.

It’s just a matter of whether you see the bad side as bigger or the good side as bigger.”

"So you don't agree that people are born guilty?" Ivanka asked.

"Are you asking me a religious question?"

Although Gilbert Jr. is known as the Son of God, he is not actually a religious person. However, in the atmosphere of Western society, sometimes you need to pretend.

In fact, those who do bad things, if they believe in God, should stop doing evil and sincerely repent of their sins.

However, the actual situation is not so. For example, on a certain island, a group of people were killed by little Gilbert, but they are still committing many evil deeds.

But they found that little Gilbert was not easy to deal with, so they simply turned a blind eye and stopped contacting him.

That island, which was once rife with crime, is now free of troubles and can still enjoy its prosperity for decades.

Gilbert Jr. said: "I support that no matter what a person is like, it is actually greatly influenced by the environment.

The environment and experiences you grow up in will determine who you are.”

Ivanka agreed with Gilbert Jr.'s words and secretly complained to herself: it seemed that her boss was such a playboy because he was influenced by his father.

Now working alongside Gilbert Jr. is going smoothly and Ivanka is gradually getting used to it, but there are still some remarks that do not make her happy.

She often heard people talking about her behind her back, saying that she was chosen as an assistant and worked by young Gilbert because of her beauty.

What's more, some people even said that she had been slept with by young Gilbert and had used her body to get to the top.

Ivanka was very angry and helpless. She was not one of those actresses who needed to rely on her body to climb up. She was capable and talented.

As a New York socialite, she could find any man she wanted. Did she have to compete with several other women for one man?

After a play that day, Ivanka heard similar remarks again. When she was reporting on her work, Ivanka decided to complain.

"Boss, you have to stop the spread of unfavorable remarks," Ivanka said directly.

"What remarks?" asked little Gilbert.

Ivanka was angry about this man. She didn't believe that little Gilbert didn't know.

But since Gilbert Jr. was playing dumb, Ivanka pointed it out directly: "It's the rumors out there, saying that I climbed into your bed, but I didn't.

Boss, you have to help me clarify this matter."

"So that's what happened," Gilbert Jr. seemed not to take it seriously. "Ivanka, these are all rumors. The more you care about them and the more you clarify them, the more people will think that they are true."

Ivanka was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, it was true.

She asked, “What should I do then?”

"Don't respond, pretend you don't know, and nothing will happen," said Little Gilbert.

As long as I don’t know about it, it didn’t happen, and it really didn’t happen, they are all rumors.

"But how can I do my job well if they spread these rumors?"

"That's why you have to work hard to prove that you are not just a pretty face." Little Gilbert consoled him, "Okay, don't worry about this.

You see, there are so many female stars hyping up scandals every day, and there is even a porn star from the San Fernando Valley who said that she spent a night with me in Philadelphia for a week.

I'm not fine either.

You just have to work hard and you’ll be fine.”

"Oh!" Ivanka walked out of the door dazed.

When Ivanka left the house, she realized that she had been fooled and the problem was not solved. The objects of the rumors mentioned by Gilbert Jr. were not around.

But I have been living with little Gilbert day and night, and this has been confirmed in the eyes of others and cannot be changed.

The more Ivanka thought about it, the angrier she got. Why?
I got to this position through my own ability, not by climbing into anyone's bed, huh!

I have to say that Ivanka is still ambitious, unlike those celebrities in New York. If it were Paris Hilton, she would probably want to turn the rumors into reality.

But Ivanka wants to work hard and clear herself of suspicion.

But Ivanka was wrong. A beautiful woman who works for a big shot, no matter how capable she is, will be suspected of having a sexual relationship with the big shot.

There have been many similar incidents since ancient times, and Ivanka cannot escape it either.

It all depends on how long she can hold out before quitting, or... really climbing into little Gilbert's bed.
