Chapter 49: Trash?_1
It was easy for Emily Taylor to help someone; just a few words could make Ethan Smith the top businessman in River City, or even Chuzzle.
However, if Ethan wanted to make it to Capital City, he needed his own abilities.
Emily knew this well, so instead of clearing obstacles for Ethan, she aimed to let him grow while ensuring his safety. nOve(lb)1n
The secretary beside her sighed softly, mumbling: “Love, it’s such a poison… Who could’ve imagined that the famous Emily Taylor from Capital City would fall in love in a small town like River City…”
…
Ever since Ray Walters spread the news, it’s been circulating around River City.
Not only related to the herbs company but even some powerful real estate businessmen wanted to get involved.
Lately, Gary Brown has been following Stephen Hill everywhere like a loyal dog.
“Mr. Hill, what’s the meaning of Ray Walters’ actions? Why is he openly selecting a partner?” Gary Brown filled Stephen Hill’s glass with water while asking.
Stephen glanced at him and said indifferently, “It’s probably that old Chinese doctor’s idea. All these talented people are arrogant. Understandable.”
Gary nodded, then flattered, “That’s true, who in River City has more power than the Hill family?”
Stephen didn’t speak, but there was a touch of pride on his face.
“As long as the Taylor family doesn’t get involved, who dares to compete with me, Stephen Hill?” he thought to himself.
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day.
That day, luxury cars filled the entrance of the No. 1 Grand Mansion, as many wealthy businessmen were waiting there.
“Ah, if only we had followed Mr. Smith’s advice back then, we wouldn’t have needed to come and compete now!” Derek Peterson couldn’t help but grumble.
Alec Peterson also sighed slightly, “I thought Ethan Smith had no real skills… I didn’t expect… No wonder the Taylor family supports him.”
Both men regretted their decisions, but it was too late.
In the Great Hall, many businessmen were whispering, not knowing the origin of this so-called old Chinese doctor.
At this moment, the scene suddenly quieted down.
Looking over, Stephen Hill and Gary Brown were seen walking in from outside.
Stephen’s arrival immediately cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts.
Everyone knew the power of the Hill family, they were top-tier even in Chuzzle, let alone a small town like River City?
“Mr. Hill, I didn’t expect you to come too!” A businessman quickly reacted and rushed over to please him.
If Stephen were there, no one could compete with him.
Since they couldn’t compete, it was better to please Stephen and then get the agency rights from him!
Soon, these old slickers all realized and rushed up one after another.
“Dad, should we go over?” Derek asked.
Alec shook his head and said, “Our relationship with the Hill family is already incompatible; going there would only be humiliating.”
“True.” Derek nodded and then smiled, “It seems that Stephen doesn’t know that the Soul Nourishment Pill is made by Ethan Smith.”
Facing everyone’s flattery, Stephen seemed even more proud.
In his eyes, he didn’t think much of the River City businessmen.
He saw those so-called successful people in River City as nothing more than bottom-tier ants, not worth mentioning.
But now, to gain a foothold in River City, he needed their support, so even though he looked down on them, he still dealt with them one by one.
“Honey, you’re amazing!” Sylvia Johnson whispered to Gary Brown.
“As long as we cling to the Hill family, we’ll be making a fortune in the future, right?” Sylvia’s eyes sparkled.
Gary grinned with pride, “Naturally.”
At this moment, he saw Ethan Smith walk in from outside.
Gary’s face instantly turned cold as he saw Ethan.
“What is he doing here?” A hint of disgust flashed in Sylvia’s eyes as well.
Gary snorted and walked over to Ethan with Sylvia.
“Yo, Ethan Smith, are you trying to get into this business too?” Gary mocked.
Ethan glanced at him and said with a half-smile, “Yes.”
Gary sneered, “Ethan, do you think that just because you’re close to Ray Walters, you can get involved in this business?”
“Let me tell you, it’s impossible! This deal is arranged by Mr. Hill who holds the power of life and death!”
With that, Gary changed his tone and said with some pride, “But I’m not the same, I had the chance to get close to Mr. Hill early!”
“Hubby is so awesome!” Sylvia immediately chimed in.
Then, Sylvia looked at Ethan and mocked, “That’s why I say, ability is innate. A loser is a loser, even if they cling to the Taylor family, they’re still just losers!”
