"Dear Molly, if you can help me get that medal, I can transfer my shares in the Hilton Hotel in Central Park to you."
Cousin Norma was filled with the smell of garlic as soon as she opened her mouth. Molly could smell it even though she was thousands of kilometers away. She frowned with disgust and said in a cold tone: "I discovered this, and it's none of your business."
.”
Norma chuckled and said: "My little Jasmine, you are still so cute. You discovered it, but isn't it in your hand yet? Besides, this medal is in your hand, how can it be in mine?
How useful is it? You obediently help hand this medal to me, and I'll give you what you want. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Molly bit her silver teeth secretly and said word by word: "I will not let anyone take away what belongs to me."
"Molly, that's not cute at all. I just don't want to make things too troublesome. Otherwise, do you think I can't find that person? Can't I get the medal from that person first? Molly,
You should know very well that even if you get the medal and dedicate it to the old man, you will not get much benefit from the old man. But I am different. I can make the old man appreciate me more and let me manage more.
Family business. And I will definitely give you the benefits you deserve. If you feel that the shares of Hilton Central Park Hotel are less, I can also give you my yacht Margaret."
The shares in the New York Hilton Park Hotel and the Marguerite yacht are worth almost $10 million combined.
This is a huge amount of money for most people.
But for someone who comes from an old money family like Lampson, this little money is better than just spending it as a beggar.
Especially when I think about the huge benefits that Norma will get if she gets the Bald Eagle Medal and wins the favor of their old man, these ten million dollars will seem even more cheap.
The current head of their Lampson family is her and Norma's grandfather, Williams Lampson. He is seventy-eight years old this year. Although he announced his retirement when he was seventy, he will invest most of the family's business.
It was delegated to future generations to take care of, but the family office is still firmly in his hands, which means that the shares and real estate of the family's various industries are still in the hands of the old man, and this has been the case until now.
Their family has had a tradition or ancestral motto for more than two hundred years, which is to find the whereabouts of Holder Lampson, the first generation ancestor of America. The key point is to find the white head that this ancestor has always carried with him.
Eagle Medal.
This medal seems to be very important to their family, or very commemorative. It can even make their descendants clearly feel that the so-called ancestral precepts hope that everyone can find that medal rather than the remains of their ancestor Holder.
.
More than two hundred years have passed, and the Lampson family has been searching silently for more than two hundred years without making any progress.
Until this time, Molly accidentally discovered the medal that her family had been searching for for more than two hundred years because of a temporary hitchhiking.
Molly knew that by getting this medal and giving it to the old man, she could help her father obtain certain interests and benefits in the family, which would at least be much better than doing nothing now.
Although the family has not made it clear what kind of reward will be given to whoever finds out the whereabouts of the ancestor and the Bald Eagle Medal.
But there is no doubt that what her family has been searching for for more than two hundred years has been found by her. Can this reward be too small?
It's not too much to let her father take charge of a group company, such as that cosmetics company with a market value of more than one billion US dollars, right?
Therefore, compared to being in charge of a group company worth more than one billion US dollars, even if the old man passes away in the future, he will be able to inherit this company. This is much better than the benefits that Norma just promised with a total value of tens of thousands of US dollars.
"Norma, let me reiterate, this is what I discovered and I found, it's none of your business. So what if you get it from that person first? You can't change this fact. This is what I discovered and I found.
, when I tell the old man, the old man can’t miss my benefits, and I can even call the old man now to tell him about it.”
Molly is not stupid. Of course she knows why Norma took the initiative to give her benefits. Of course she was afraid that she would tell the old man the truth.
What the old man hates and resents the most is the vicious competition and internal fighting among future generations.
Therefore, over the years, within their family, at least on the surface, they appear to be brothers and sisters, and the second and third generations are very harmonious and friendly.
If Norma got the medal from Chen Feng first without Molly's permission and acquiescence, and Molly complained to the old man afterwards, Norma would definitely lose a lot of points.
For Norma, who is serving as a senior executive in the family's core group, this is definitely a loss that outweighs the gains.
"Molly, you are too smart. You will have no friends like this. We can just know some things from each other's minds. Why do we have to say it out loud? What benefits do you think you can get in exchange for giving this medal to the old man yourself?"
"I want my father to be a director of H&S, can you do it?"
H&S is a cosmetics company owned by the Lampson family, with a market value of more than one billion US dollars. Compared with the other major group companies of the Lampson family, it is nothing, but its brand value still has huge room for further exploration.
This is also the reason why she chose this company. In addition, she did not make her father the chairman of the company in one step. As for the position of CEO, she has no hope, because even she has to admit that she
Dad does not have the ability or talent to run and manage a company.
"Molly, don't you know your father's temperament and abilities? He is only suitable to be a rich second generation who eats, drinks and has fun. He has no business acumen."
Even if Norma was telling the truth, she still made Molly very angry. She said in a cold voice: "My dad is just not interested in managing the family business, not that he has no talent. Besides, he is too mild-mannered and I don't like him."
He competes with people in the family. But if he doesn’t compete, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the ability to compete. Of course, we don’t want more, just H&S, and this is what we deserve, isn’t it?”
Norma joked: "It's just a medal, and you ask for H&S. You have a big appetite."
Molly also said directly: "How can my appetite compare to yours?"
Norma laughed and said: "If it's just a medal like this, it won't be exchanged for H&S, unless you add other bargaining chips."
Molly said unconvinced: "I will give the medal directly to Grandpa, I believe he will agree to my request."
Norma said firmly: "Don't forget that your father is the least successful of my grandfather's children. He gave your father many opportunities back then, but your father himself failed, which made my grandfather completely disappointed and gave up."
I don’t believe that grandpa agreed to let him serve as a director of H&S just because of this medal. Of course, if I assist and help with lobbying, I think there is still a high chance of success."
Although Molly didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that if Norma helped persuade her, the success rate would indeed be much higher.
After all, Norma is the third generation of their family with the most talent in management, and she has always been very popular with the old man.
"Tell me your conditions."
Molly said directly.
A confident smile appeared on Norma's lips, and then she said: "First of all, we must share the credit for discovering this medal. Secondly, you must give Charles a chance to pursue you and let him travel with you for at least a month.
Let you have a companion for your global travels.”
Charles is the son of his aunt Norma, who is also Norma's cousin. After meeting Molly when he was a teenager, he fell in love with her at first sight and has been trying to pursue her for so many years.
But Molly didn't call him at all. She had clearly rejected him many times, but he just wouldn't give up.
If it were another woman, she would have been liked by the other woman for more than ten years, and the other woman was actually very good in all aspects. She was truly rich, rich and handsome. She had long been moved by the other woman's infatuation.
But Molly didn't. Instead, she felt disgusted by the other party's constant pestering.
Therefore, as soon as Norma proposed this condition, Molly subconsciously rejected it: "I really don't care about Charles at all. I have clearly rejected him many times. If he still pesters me like this, it will only make him angry."
I hate him even more. I will not agree to this condition."
"You give him one last chance. As long as you give him a month to travel with you. After a month, if you still don't call him at all, he will never pester you again. This is his own words
You said it to me. I think you have a preconceived prejudice against Charles. Regardless of his appearance, family background, cultivation and other aspects, he is more than good enough for you."
"You are forcing someone into a difficult situation. I can't let a person I hate stay around for a month. This is something I can't stand. You can change the conditions, but this won't work."
Seeing Molly's determined look, Norma couldn't help but mourn two seconds of silence for her cousin.
"Then you can only give me all the credit for finding the medal. After I get the benefits from the old man, I will share half of it with you."
"Am I that stupid? Let you take the credit alone."
"For example, if you hand over the medal to the old man, you can only get a reward of 100 US dollars at most, but I can get 10,000 US dollars. Do you understand what I mean?"
When Molly heard what she said, she was so angry that she couldn't help clenching her fists.
The comparison between 100 US dollars and 10,000 US dollars is too stark. How can the gap be so big?
Molly secretly gritted her teeth and said: "It's okay if you can only take the credit, but my condition is still to be the director of H&S. I believe you can do it. If you can't do it, then let's not talk about it. I will hand over the things myself."
Give it to the old man."
"You are really not cute at all. But, okay, I promise you.
Norma suddenly agreed so happily that Molly couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but emphasize: "Don't lie to me, if you say you can't do it, I will tell the truth to the old man and seek justice.
"
Norma said firmly: "Of course, I will do what I say, and I can guarantee it with my credibility."
Molly thought about it carefully and roughly understood why her cousin agreed so readily. It was just because she didn't think highly of her father.
In her cousin's view, even if her father serves as a director of H&S, he will not be able to control the entire group company in the future.
This is really unreasonable!
Molly wanted to say something to Norma: Are you so dismissive of my dad?
But in the end she held back. No matter what, she helped her father become the director of H&S first.
H&S is almost the sole proprietorship of the Lampson family, because in this group company, the Lampson family holds up to 87% of the shares, and the remaining 13% of the shares, of which 7% are incentive shares, and the remaining 6% of the shares are owned by a total of five
Dividing it among the small shareholders can even be ignored.
Therefore, if her father serves as the director of H&S, he will become the largest shareholder of this group company as the representative of the Lampson family. When her grandfather dies in the future, he will naturally become the chairman of H&S, or even directly absorb H&S.
Own it for yourself.
Thinking of her plan, Molly was also confident and said: "Okay, I will get the things back as soon as possible and give them to you."
Norma asked: "How soon is as soon as possible? Can I get it today?"
Molly said: "He had promised to sell it to me as soon as possible within a month."
"One month? Try your best? Are you kidding me? This thing is completely useless and worthless in that person's hands. You should get it immediately. Otherwise, if something happens during this period, will you be responsible?
This thing is very important to the old man and our Lampson family."
Molly said calmly: "Okay, I'll go find him later and try to find a way to get this thing."
"Then I'm waiting for your good news, so go ahead and do it."
After saying that, Norma hung up the phone.
Molly felt like she was being ordered and manipulated by the other party, which was a really bad feeling.
But in order for her father to re-enter the family's core circle and win more inheritance shares for their little family in the future, she could only bear with this anger for now.
After Molly collected her thoughts and mood for a while, she went to the bathroom to dress up, and then went out to find Chen Feng.
Yesterday, she got the address of Chen Feng's rented house from the online ride-hailing driver White.
It was not very far from the hotel she was staying in. She took a taxi and arrived in a few minutes.
She rang the doorbell and it was Zeng Jiao who came to open the door for her, followed by Pei Lei.
"Who are you looking for?" Zeng Jiao asked proactively in fairly fluent English.
After Molly looked at the two of them, she said, "Does Chen live here?"
Zeng Jiao frowned and asked, "Who are you referring to specifically?"
"Chen Feng, he should live here, right? I'll call him right away."
With that said, Molly took out her mobile phone and called Chen Feng. After waiting for a while, she was answered.
"Chen, I'm at your door. Please come out."
After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Chen Feng to say anything, and she suddenly felt much better.
When Chen Feng heard that she actually ran to his rented place, he was surprised and unhappy.
But he quickly came out of the room upstairs and soon came downstairs, where he saw Molly at the door of his house.
Today's Molly is very different from the image he saw yesterday. She is not wearing a hat, with long maroon hair hanging loose, and a very cute hairpin in her bangs.
Wearing a brown woolen coat with a high wool collar, tight jeans underneath, and a pair of high-top leather shoes, it makes her figure look even taller and slimmer.
The overall feeling is fashionable, refreshing and attractive.
This image is really different from her backpacker outfit yesterday. If she hadn't come to find him, even if they bumped into each other on the way, Chen Feng might not have recognized her at once.
