Chapter 8: Open Your Eyes

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sophie thought to herself, Can I possibly refuse?

The truth was, when she got into the luxurious car that was already beyond her imagination, she finally came to her senses.

Following that, she recalled what Christopher had said on the phone.

Making her the Planning Department’s manager? That was too childish!

She wasn’t even as experienced as Christopher. She was still a newbie who had just graduated from school!

“Christopher, were you joking? Did you really buy the company?”

She looked at Christopher, wanting to see him nodding. She also wanted him to shake his head so that she wouldn’t have to worry.

When she saw Christopher nod, she actually felt excited.

“If nothing unexpected happens, I’m already the boss of the company.”


Christopher spoke casually, but he had no doubt because he believed in Pence’s ability.

If he couldn’t even handle such a small matter, how could he still be the general manager of Target Corporation?

Sophie’s mood was complicated, but she still had to say something. “Christopher, the position of planning department’s manager that you mentioned, I… I can’t possibly be qualified. I just graduated from school not long ago. I can’t handle it well.”

Christopher trusted her, but she couldn’t be irresponsible.

However, Christopher did not take this to heart. Not to mention that he really valued Sophie’s ability, even if she screwed up, it did not matter.

He didn’t lack money.

Even if the company closed down, he did not care.

Moreover, although Sophie had just left school, she was serious, hardworking, and had her own thoughts on design. Christopher felt that it wouldn’t go wrong to let her take over the Planning Department.

“If I say that you can do it, then you can. We’re so familiar with each other, I know you have the ability. Moreover, even if this company really can’t make it, it’s fine. I’m just playing around. Just treat it as helping me, okay?”

Since Christopher had already said so, Sophie couldn’t reject him even if she wanted to. She could only nod and secretly cheer herself on. She had to work hard and not let him down!

The Lamborghini Veneno was basically the most eye-catching existence on the streets. Those who didn’t know how to drive could tell that it was extraordinary. Those who did were even more surprised.

The unique sound of the sports car made Christopher feel addicted. He had to admit that this feeling of bringing a beauty to travel on the streets and being the center of attention was too enjoyable!

“I’ll treat you to a meal,” Christopher suggested after crossing a street.

Sophie’s heart jumped. Meal?

What about after dinner? According to the usual procedures, should she…

Sophie clenched her small hands tightly and placed them on her knees, not knowing what to do. Christopher treated her very well, but she… was not a casual person.

“Forget it. Previously, I told Manager Bruce that I wanted to go back and study the proposal.”

This was serious business, but it was time to eat now. Even if they were working, they still had to eat.

Christopher said, “Work is important, but eating is more important. Let’s go. I’ll bring you to a good restaurant.”

With that said, he turned the car around and drove towards the outskirts of New York City.

Since it was like this, Sophie definitely couldn’t reject it anymore. She was nervous along the way, thinking about how she would reject Christopher if he wanted to do something after the meal.

Just like that, Christopher brought Sophie to a high-end restaurant.

This restaurant often appeared in magazines and even on television. In the past, Christopher had thought that he’d come here once when he had money. Now, he could finally fulfill his wish.

Not everyone had seen a limited edition Lamborghini Veneno before, but anyone who saw it would feel a sense of desire towards it.

Just as Christopher got out of the car under an attendant’s watch, a man in a designer suit with slick hair walked over.

Beside him was a beautiful woman with a sexy figure, looking like she had undergone multiple cosmetic surgeries.

“Zack, this is a limited edition Lamborghini Veneno, right? I remember that there’s only one in New York City. You said you wanted to buy it back then. Why is it here?” The woman spoke in a coquettish voice.

Zack sized up Christopher. He had never seen such a person in New York City’s high society, so he did not mind him.

“Hey, I’ve long taken a fancy to your car. I’ll give you 50 million if you sell it to me.”

Christopher raised his eyebrows. Wow, this guy is really rude!

He wanted to buy a limited edition Lamborghini Veneno for 50 million? Was he dreaming?

“I refuse.”

Christopher couldn’t be bothered to say more. He grabbed Sophie’s small hand and entered the store, handing the key to the attendant at the side.

How could the attendant dare to accept it? It was fine before he heard the price of this car, but now, he did not dare to drive it.

He wouldn’t be able to pay for it even if he sold himself on the black market if he bumped into something!

“Don’t worry and drive. If anything happens, I won’t blame you.” Christopher was helpless and still threw the key to the attendant.

Zack was stunned when he was ignored. Whose child was this? He didn’t even know who he was?

“Hey man, we’re all upper-class people. That’s not right.”

He licked his lips and stood in front of Christopher.

What the heck! No one in New York City had dared to ignore him like this before!

“You’ve already driven this car before. It’s second-hand. I’m offering you 50 million as a sign of goodwill. Don’t be shameless.”

To others, he was also known as Zack. Even in upper society, no one dared to speak to him like this!

Who was he? His family was a business partner of Target Corporation! In the entire New York City, how many businesses could sustain long-time cooperation with Target Corporation?

It could be said that other than the higher-ups, he wasn’t afraid of anyone else!

However, he had really encountered a tough nut today.

“Good dogs won’t block the way.”

Christopher’s tone was calm, but his words angered Zack.


“What?! Kid, where are you from? Tell me if you dare! Do you believe that I’ll make your entire family disappear from New York City?!”

“How dare you scold Zack? Do you know who he is? He’s the heir to the Costco Corporation. Do you know Costco Corporation? They’re Target Corporation’s business partner!” The plastic surgery woman continued to chide coquettishly.

This was the first time Sophie had come to such a high-end place. She was very nervous. In the beginning, she did not dare to speak when she was stopped, but at this moment, she couldn’t help it.

“You stopped us first!”

That pretentious woman was really disgusting!

The plastic surgery woman looked at Sophie in disdain. She looked so common but still dared to come out to find a rich man. It was really strange.

“Little girl, I advise you to open your eyes. If you really want to find a sugar daddy, you have to find someone like Zack. Of course, I don’t think you have the capital to do that. To be able to find this person should have already exhausted a lot of your efforts, right?”

How could Sophie not understand what she meant? She was so angry that her face reddened.

Christopher’s face darkened as he thought, Alright, how dare you criticize the people around me!

“Costco Corporation, right? From today onwards, Target Corporation will stop all forms of cooperation with you..”
