That night, Eric talked a lot with Zack. He said that he was already in town, and they agreed to meet tomorrow.
Eric was so excited that he couldn't even believe it.
In those years, Eric helped many people and gave a lot of money. Later, after the Smith’s got bankrupt, some people in the family said that he was a bad luck, who clearly gave out the family wealth. So, when they separated, he didn't get a penny. His father only got the old house of the Smith’s.
Eric didn't expect that after many years, this favor gave him such a return!
And it's just dividends! In addition, Zack said he also owns 60% of the Sky Group!
How much was it worth? Eric was so excited that he lost sleep.
Tossing and turning until the early morning, he barely fell asleep.
He was sleeping soundly when he heard his mother-in-law's voice in the living room.
"Eric, get up and cook. My daughter has gone to work. You loser have nothing to do all day. And you are still sleeping!"
Eric was still asleep and thought he was dreaming. At this time, the door was kicked, and his mother-in-law Helen came in and kicked him impatiently.
"Are you deaf? Can't you hear me wake you up to cook?" Helen said coldly.
"Oh." Eric knew that he was not dreaming and looked at Helen vaguely.
Helen, as his mother-in-law, was really beautiful. She was in her 40s and wore a sexy long dress. Because she was well maintained, she was just like a young woman who has just been married for a few years at the age of 30.
The reason why she looked so good was that she didn't worry about going to work. More importantly, she didn't have to cook meals, especially after Eric became the son-in-law. Because they were all in the same community, the mother-in-law came to dinner every day.
But she was also good to her husband Frank. She took the food back to him every time!
The only person in the Brown family who had a better attitude towards Eric was the father-in-law.
Frank used to be a soldier. He fell ill in the army and was not in good health.
After Eric got married, his father-in-law's health was much better. Perhaps for this reason, the father-in-law never scolded Eric.
After Eric made health porridge for his mother-in-law, he went downstairs to buy some breakfast. After eating, his mother-in-law went to get a spa.
Before leaving, he threw Eric $100. She said there were not many meat and vegetables in the refrigerator. So Helen asked him to buy some in the supermarket. Then she immediately left with a look of disgust.
Eric smiled bitterly because he cooked at home and bought all the groceries at home. Thea gave him 100 a day, which was not enough for the whole family.
Fish and meat were not cheap, many fruits were more expensive. Sometimes he needed to ask his mother-in-law and wife for more money. Naturally, he had to be scolded.
In the afternoon, in the Crescent Teahouse.
Eric sat carelessly. The person opposite was Zack, the president of the Sky Group.
Zack looked like a successful man. He was wearing hair gel and suits. Zack was 30 years old at that time, but now he was already 43.
But in front of Eric, he was excited like a child.
"You really don't have to. I can accept your gratitude, but you can't make me the chairman of the Sky Group. It is your company; I can't take it!"
Soon, they had an argument. The Sky Group had this grand occasion, which was all due to Zack. Besides, he had enough money in his card. Eric didn't want a company, let alone go to Shanghai to serve as chairman.
"It's not a matter of whether you want it or not. At the beginning of the establishment of the group, the legal person was your name. I always claimed that there was a mysterious boss behind it. Now the young master is no longer a child, and you can take over it. Moreover, with the young master's business talent, the Sky Group will be stronger." Zack said excitedly.
In his opinion, he worked for Eric these years. At the beginning, Eric had 80% of the shares in Sky Group, while Zack had 20% of the technology shares. Later, the group needed to expand and needed shareholder investment, which diluted Eric and some of his shares.
Today, Zack had only 15% of the shares, and the other 25% were in the hands of major shareholders.
"No, I'm not going to Shanghai."
Zack smiled and seemed to have expected Eric's rejection: "a month ago, I moved the Sky film under Sky Group to this city. You could be the president of the Sky Film, otherwise I really can't manage it."
"You can't refuse me anymore."
Because Sky belonged to Eric, not his Taylor group. Zack did not let his relatives get involved, so he really needed some help in the key and important positions.
Eric was surprised to hear about the Sky film.
The Sky Film, one of the most potential companies under the Sky Group, was an entertainment company. There were several first-line actors and countless second-line actors, all of whom were contracted artists of the Sky film.
Eric knew that Zack had to pester him all day if he refused again.
"OK, I'll try." Eric nodded with a little excitement.
"Well, tomorrow you will be the president of the Sky film. Give me your ID card and a secretary will hand it over to you."
"Right." Zack seemed to suddenly think of it. He turned and took a beautifully wrapped box at hand: "this is my gift to Mrs. Smith. I heard you're married."
Eric took it over strangely and saw a string of English letters on it, Valentino.
"Valentino?" Eric raised his head in surprise: "is this gift too expensive?"
More than expensive!
As it’s known, Valentino, the top famous fashion designers. She also named the brand after herself. This dress was the last dress designed by Valentino herself. It was limited to 520 pieces that year, and it was sold out as soon as it was launched.
This dress was so yearned by celebrities and beauties all over the world.
This couldn't be bought with money. The price was 10 million. It was said that it has been 60 million, and it couldn't be bought at all.
"Ha ha, I heard that Mrs. Smith is a super beauty. It's just right to match this charm." Zack smiled and nodded.
"No, it's too expensive. I don't want my wife to be robbed." Eric resolutely refused and joked.
Of course he couldn't take it! How much was this dress? Its value has already reached great collection value. If he took it to Thea. She must think he stole it.
Just then, Eric's mobile phone rang. It was a text message from Thea.
"Eric, send me my skirt to the company right away. The blue one in the middle of the cloakroom. Don't touch anything else! Right away, within 30 minutes!"
Thea commanded. She forgot to bring it this morning. Now she had a lot to do in the company.
She had to attend the family gathering in the evening. She didn't want to be laughed at by the family. She must dress up well tonight!
After leaving Zack, Eric rode his small electric motorbike home first, and then rushed to his wife's company. As for the dress, he didn't take it.
At the underground parking lot of the mall.
When Eric hurried with the dress Thea wanted, he saw a man in a suit standing next to his wife, with an Audi A8 parked behind him.
Eric frowned and hurriedly got off the motorbike and walked over with the box in his arms.
"Eric?" The man in the suit raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Eric.
Thea's beauty was well known in this city. That wedding shocked the whole city. Who didn't know that the beautiful Thea married a loser from the countryside!
"It's you." Bruce Chou took off his suit in front of Eric and handed it to Thea. His voice was full of tenderness: "Thea, it's a little cold in the afternoon. Don't catch a cold."
Bruce blatantly pursued his wife and directly regarded Eric as the air!
