Chapter 74 A Reunion
Kian did not care if his words were heard by Gerald and the others. He smiled at Andrew and said,
“Speak of the devil!”
Gerald and Jacob heard their conversation. Jacob looked angry,
but he could not refute it!
He had not yet joined Universe Group. He had digested the
information after a day and took the initiative to contact
Leandro and discussed his work. As the director of the
marketing department, he was two levels higher than Kian. He
was Kian’s immediate superior!
Kian was almost at the most basic management in Universe
Group.
But he had not yet assumed office, so he was nothing now.
Seeing the two, Andrew also showed a trace of a sneer and said,
“Gerald, you really came. In a while, our female classmates
have to stay away from you. If you take a fancy to someone,
just drug her.”
As he spoke, he looked at Kian and said, “Kian, you have to
take care of your wife.”
Kian frowned. Diya looked at Gerald and then said, “You guys go in first. I have booked two connected
private rooms.”
Andrew said, “I will also receive the other students here.” He looked at Gerald and said, “Otherwise,
when I go in with Gerald later, the other students will think that we are birds of a
feather. It is not good.”
Anger flashed across Jacob’s face. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
At this time, Andrew also looked at Jacob and said, “Well, by the way, Jacob, I heard that your girlfriend
asked you for 160 thousand dollars as a betrothal gift. Actually, she was weighing your potential.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have demanded such a huge amount. Stay away from Gerald and I’ll
recommend a job to you. If you work harder, it’s easy to earn at least 3,200
dollars a month.”
“You…” Jacob was a little unable to hold back his disgust.
Gerald pulled Jacob and said, “Let’s go in!”
Jacob snorted and walked inside. After asking the waiter, they
entered the private room.
There were more than a dozen people in the private room. The
men and women were all familiar to Gerald.
After seeing Gerald and Jacob, everyone was stunned for a
moment. Their expressions were strange, especially when they
saw Gerald. Their eyes all showed disdain.
In this world, rape was the most despised thing.
They did not greet them, and no one called Gerald to sit down. They just looked at him with disdain.
When Jacob was a student, he was quite cheerful. So he took the initiative to greet others.
Those people only nodded politely to him, but they did not have any intention to continue greeting
them. They probably saw Jacob and Gerald walking together and didn’t want to
interact with them.
Jacob was a little embarrassed, but Gerald looked indifferent. He touched his nose and chose a table
with fewer people to sit
by!
When the others saw Gerald sit down, their expressions all changed. Among them, a slightly fat woman
looked at Gerald and said in a strange tone, “Gerald, you should come to this gathering. You are so
thick-faced. Aren’t you afraid of ruining the atmosphere?”
Jacob frowned and said, “Rhoda, don’t go too far.”
“Hoho, did I?” Rhoda sneered and said, “Everyone knows what
kind of person Gerald is. We also know how he was jailed.
When such a scum comes here, all the girls will be afraid!”
“What do you know? Gerald…” Jacob still wanted to explain, but Gerald quickly stopped him. Then, he
smiled at Rhoda and said, “Well, don’t worry. You are very safe. I have no interest in
homely girls like you!”
Jacob smiled and said, “Yes, he won’t choose you even if he wants to rape you. You make him feel
sick. You can’t arouse his sexual desire! Why don’t you examine yourself in the mirror?”
“You…” Rhoda was stunned, and then her eyes suddenly
turned red.
For a woman, these words were too harsh.
Beside her, a man couldn’t stand it anymore. He frowned and said, “Jacob, Gerald, we are all
classmates. What you said is too
much!”
Jacob was about to refute, but at this time, another man
hurriedly stood up and said, “Everyone should talk less. Rhoda,
you can sit in my seat. I will go over and sit with them. Gerald is now out of prison. Even if he
committed a crime, he has been
punished. We should not be biased against him!”
Gerald looked at him. This person looked honest.
His name was Benning Cobb. When he was in high school, he
was an honest and average student. He didn’t talk much and
was often bullied.
The most typical thing was that he once liked Diya and secretly wrote a love letter to her. Then … Diya
read it in front of the whole class. After reading it, she mocked him.
Since then, he became even more self-centered in class and
was less conspicuous.
However, it could be seen that he had changed a lot and
seemed to be more tactful since he had worked.
As he spoke, Benning took the initiative to move aside and sat by Gerald’s table. He smiled at Gerald
and Jacob and said,
“Gerald, Jacob, nice to meet you!”
However, the others who shared the same table with Gerald all
left.
Nobody paid attention to them and began to talk to each other.
Most of the time, they were chatting about work, income, the
brands of the clothes they were wearing, and the brands of the
bags they were carrying. In short, whether intentionally or not,
they were all doing a comparison!
“Gerald, how long have you been out of prison? What do you
do?” At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Gerald looked over and found that it was Andrew. He did not
know when this guy had returned.
Many people also looked over. They all had faint smiles on
their faces.
“I didn’t go to work,” Gerald said calmly.
“Unemployed!” Andrew sneered and said, “Why don’t you ask Benning to recommend you to be a
deliveryman? Our high school is quite outstanding. Benning is the only deliveryman in
our class.”
When the others heard this, they also revealed a faint smile.
Benning’s face turned slightly red in embarrassment.
Gerald raised his eyebrows slightly and said lightly, “What’s wrong with deliverymen? At the very least,
they can fend for
themselves.”
“That’s true.” Andrew said, then he looked at Jacob and asked,
“Jacob, Kian said that you went to Universe Group for an
interview yesterday?”
Everyone looked at Jacob in surprise. Jacob nodded and said,
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
“I remember that you are a junior college graduate. Universe
Group only recruits graduates from key universities, and it is quite difficult to be admitted.” Andrew said,
“Did you pass the interview?”
Jacob showed a proud look and said, “Of course. I will go to work on Monday!”
At this time, Kian and Diya came in from the door. He looked at Jacob and said, “Jacob, it’s boring to
brag like this. We are all
classmates. You don’t have a good job, and no one will
discriminate against you. I am a manager at Universe Group, and I have a good relationship with the
HR department. I went to ask the interviewer yesterday and was told that no
interviewee was called Jacob!”
“Ha ha…”
Andrew laughed, and someone beside him laughed.
Jacob’s face was red, and he gritted his teeth. “It was Mr.
Hanson who personally interviewed me.”
“When it comes to bragging, you’re the best!” Andrew said,
“When you were in high school, you bragged every day, but
now you still brag like this. How important Mr. Hanson is! Would he come to interview you, a junior
college graduate?”
“I…” Jacob’s face became even redder!
Indeed, logically speaking, this was too inconceivable.
Even Jacob himself felt that it was equally inconceivable. If he
had not experienced it himself, he would feel that it was
bragging.
Gerald smiled and said, “Forget it, don’t bother with them.
They are near-sighted people. Think about your current identity, why bother with them?”
Jacob nodded. He looked at Kian deeply, looking forward to
how brilliant Kian’s expression would be when he appeared at the company on Monday!
