“I don’t care! You saw us anyway!” Natalie pouted and twisted her body uncomfortably.
Fine! He just made it worse for himself! Natalie got one more reason to laugh at him later!
“Hahahaha...” Senior Mr. Quincy couldn’t help laughing.
Matthew and Karen shook their heads in a bad mood as if saying, “Damn, we just let him take advantage of both our girls”.
“Hurry and eat! Just be careful later! Don’t you have to go to the company after breakfast?!” Senior Mr. Quincy mediated.
The “family” then had breakfast peacefully.
After the meal, Matthew took Clare, Natalie, and Vincent into the car.
Matthew was the driver, while Vincent sat in the passenger seat, and Clare and Natalie sat in the back.
“Puff! You are the son-in-law, but you let your father-in-law drive for you! Not bad, man!” Natalie murmured and poked him from behind.
Vincent scratched his head, feeling uncomfortable, so he looked at Matthew, “Uncle Matthew, let me drive.”
“It’s okay. Just do your job. Besides, you don’t know the route yet. Let’s talk about this later.”
“Okay.” Vincent nodded.
When they came to an industrial park on the edge of the city, they entered a factory area, middle-sized.
There was a huge stone at the door with “Greengrass Environmental Protection Company” written in red letters.
The security guard recognized the car and hurriedly opened the door before he saluted.
As the car drove to the entrance of the office building, many employees were busy going in and out, nodding toward the car as soon as they saw it.
After Matthew got out of the car, he walked into the office building with the three of them. As soon as they entered the building, they saw the walls of the corridor filled with drawings of personnel and institutions, as well as some propaganda polo.
Vincent was surprised to see the personnel “pyramid” map.
Naturally, the top one was Matthew, under the jurisdiction of two vice presidents: one was Clare, who was in charge of finance and personnel; and the other was Carl, who was in charge of R&D and sales.
Vincent smiled inwardly. Finally, he seemed to get a clue of what Carl had in mind.
Matthew seemed to be in a hurry and led the three of them to the office without stopping.
Many employees greeted him on the way, but he only nodded casually.
Clare, on the contrary, was quite enthusiastic. Probably she was trying to strengthen her connections with the staff. She hadn’t been here for a long time for her illness, after all.
Luckily, the sincere smiles of the staff showed that she was warmly welcomed, at least she treated the employees kindly.
As for Natalie, Vincent had no idea of her position in the company.
“Hey, your sister is the vice president, so is Carl. So, what are you doing here?” Vincent asked casually.
“Mind your own business!” Natalie rolled her eyes.
Vincent shook his head.
Walking all the way to the office, Matthew rushed to his desk and saw a brand-new contract on it.
A graceful female secretary came over when she saw Matthew and said, “President Quincy, the secretary of the Clarke Real Estate Land Development Company came here early in the morning and delivered this.”
“I see!” Matthew picked up the contract on the table and flipped through it. Soon, he clenched his fists fiercely.
“Yeah!!!” It came out from his mouth.
“What’s the matter, Dad? Could it be...” Clare leaned over and asked.
“Yes, 2.5 million for 5 years.” Matthew nodded excitedly, but soon he realized he had forgotten himself when he saw Vincent’s gaze.
“Ahem... Of course...” Matthew restrained himself and coughed twice, pretending to be calm, “Vincent has helped a lot in this. Good for him!”
Vincent complained in his heart, “Seriously? Is it so hard to thank me directly? Am I that hateful even after saving your daughter’s life and saving you so much money? Fine, I’ll just take it as you still need time to accept me as a family.”
“Puff! What’s the big deal?! You just happen to know someone...” Natalie pouted her mouth and muttered.
Vincent continued to think to himself, “Is it that simple to know someone like Howard? Well, get to know someone if you can! And the one happens to be able to save you millions right after your first meeting! Don’t you dream about it!”
As they were talking, Carl’s voice sounded, “Uncle Matthew, Clare, Natalie, you are here!”
“So are you, Carl!” Matthew nodded and put the contract aside.
“Yes, Uncle Matthew, you’ve been pushing hard these days, so I have to keep an eye on the R&D department.” Carl seemed to be conscientious and honest, but his lecherous face betrayed him.
Matthew nodded approvingly.
“That’s good! Carl got the right attitude for work. Nat, set your sister and Carl as your examples. Even if you come here for an internship experience, you have to do it right.”
“Got it!” Natalie twisted her body and said.
“Oh! So, you are an intern girl!” Vincent whispered.
“Who are you to laugh at me?! You are not even an intern, which means you are no better than me!” Natalie glared at Vincent.
“Alright. Clare, you haven’t been here for days. Let’s go to the R&D department to study our latest research projects and directions. This is for the current environmental protection policy and main requirements, especially for the main project of the Elliot Industrial Group!”
Matthew laughed and paused, “If we can make it and win the project as well, we’ll definitely double our performance!”
“Is it so awesome?! Then let’s go and see.” Clare took Matthew’s arm and dragged Natalie away.
Carl led the way in the front.
“Hey, I should probably not go with you, right?” Vincent said from behind.
“Why?” Matthew looked back at him.
“Well... the R&D and project you are talking about. They must be trade secrets, I assume? I’m afraid... it’s inconvenient...”
Before Matthew and his daughters said anything, Carl teased, “Inconvenient? Aren’t you just an inexperienced doctor? Do you consider yourself a scientist in medicine and biology?! May I ask if you have got a Nobel Prize?! Do you really think that you will understand the technique even if you have the chance to see it? Just save your tricks!”
Clare felt bad for Vincent after Carl said so. Although Vincent wasn’t the “husband” she admitted, it was still inappropriate to insult anyone even if he was just her fake husband or just a bodyguard.
“You may join us! After all... we are family now. At least we should pretend that way for the time being,” Clare was blushed.
“Okay then! Let’s go!” Vincent nodded, said nothing more to Carl, and followed them to the production workshop.
On their way, Vincent looked at the posters on the walls of the corridor, read the leaflets and product introduction sheets. Of course, these were all for customers. Since Vincent was a newcomer, he took himself as a customer as well.
The main business of the Greengrass Environmental Protection Company was naturally environmental protection. Previously, it had been developing and producing sewage treatment equipment, smoke purification equipment, and some equipment for sewage pipes.
In this regard, their business was profitable, especially due to the government’s focus on environmental protection!
