"I'll go with you, but I still have some work to deal with now. I have to arrive late, and I can't let the dinner wait for me. You go over first!"Eileen Letherdale said.

Shengshi Hotel is a relatively high-end hotel in Jiangyang City.

When Marty Jauncy came over, the relatives were almost seated.

His mother Candice Dove is also there.

A young man wearing a suit, with meticulously styled hair, and an air of dignity was the protagonist of today's dinner, Marty Jauncy's cousin-in-law, Lewis Shadboult.

"Wen Yan, you have been promoted to the deputy manager of the branch at a young age. You have a bright future in the future!" It was Marty Jauncy's cousin who spoke.

"I heard that your Allure Group has good remuneration and high benefits. If there are any good vacancies, please introduce them to us!" Another relative said.

Auntie looked at Jiang Lang and said:

"By the way! Speaking of Allure Group, it seems that Marty Jauncy also works there, as a driver at the headquarters, right?"

"Marty Jauncy, you see your cousin-in-law is a few years older than you. He is already the deputy manager of the branch, but you are still just a driver. You must work hard!"

Auntie's words seemed to be encouraging Marty Jauncy, but the tone of her words was very obviously mocking.

My cousin also looked at Jiang Lang, "Marty Jauncy, you said you did a good job as a soldier, why do you want to retire? If you continue for a few more years, maybe you can stay in the army as an officer!"

"Yes!" My uncle took over, "It's hard to work now. If you don't have any skills, you can't get along at all. You are a driver now, but in ten or twenty years, you may still be a driver!"

"How about this, let your cousin-in-law promote you!" said the aunt.

Huh? The relatives don't look like they are mocking him, but they look like they are helping him!

In fact, they have other motives...

The aunt continued: "Your cousin-in-law is now the vice president, and the company will assign him a driver. How about you become a driver for your cousin-in-law, and your cousin-in-law can slowly promote you!"

She looked at her son-in-law Lewis Shadboult again, "Wenyan, you have to take good care of Marty Jauncy!"

Lewis Shadboult said with his nostrils turned upward:

"Yes, it is possible, but...I am only the vice president now. If Marty Jauncy wants to be promoted, he also needs the approval of the general manager. He must find a way to give him some gifts!"

The uncle analyzed with a profound attitude: "It's time to do what you want! Does your general manager have any special preferences?"

Lewis Shadboult pretended to think and said: "Our general manager likes to collect antiques!"

Then he looked directly at Candice Dove.

"Auntie, I heard that you have twenty-four golden needles, right? Give those antiques to our general manager. Once the general manager is happy, Marty Jauncy's future will be bright!"

It's like this. Marty Jauncy's grandfather is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and has a son and a daughter.

His son, Marty Jauncy's uncle, did not study medicine with his father.

His daughter, Marty Jauncy's mother Candice Dove, inherited his mantle.

Before my grandfather passed away, he gave Candice Dove all the items he needed for medical practice.

Among the relics, there is a family heirloom, twenty-four golden needles!

Of course this is a device used for acupuncture, but because it is made of gold and is an antique, it is very valuable.

The uncle has been discussing with Marty Jauncy's mother and wants her to sell the golden needles, which should make about 200,000 yuan. The brother and sister will then divide the money.

But Candice Dove firmly refused to sell.

This also aroused hostility towards her from her uncle and aunt.

This time I just took advantage of this dinner party to force her to hand over the golden needle...

Lewis Shadboult continued: "As long as the general manager accepts the gift and I move around, Marty Jauncy can be promoted to the position of deputy section chief!"

"Auntie, those golden needles of yours are probably worth 200,000 yuan. If Marty Jauncy becomes deputy section chief, he can earn 200,000 yuan in less than two years!"

Marty Jauncy was a little amused. Aren't these people just trying to make a golden needle? Isn't it a waste of money to go around in such a long circle?

And he has already smelled their strong shameless charm.

In the past, my uncle discussed with his mother, sold the gold needles and divided the money equally.

It's better now, just give the needle as a gift and take it completely for yourself!

When they get the golden needle, they will not be able to give it as a gift to the general manager. They will definitely keep it and sell it for themselves.

As for Marty Jauncy's future, it's none of their business!

Just deceive the golden needle into your hand. What can you, Marty Jauncy, do to us as a driver?

Candice Dove was not stupid, of course she could see the faces of these relatives, so she shook her head.

"The golden needle is my father's relic. I will not give it away or sell it."

The uncle immediately twitched the corner of his mouth, and a look of resentment flashed in his eyes.

My cousin couldn't hold it any longer and said:

"Auntie, you have to think carefully! This is for Marty Jauncy's future. You should know the virtues of your son."

"When he was in school, he skipped class every day and his grades were last."

"I've been in the army for so many years and haven't even managed to hold an official position. I'm told that I was discharged from the army. I think it's probably because I was expelled from the army!"

"With his little potential, if no one helps him, he may not even be able to get a wife!"

"Now that there is a great future ahead of you, why don't you think about your son?"

Marty Jauncy was stunned for a moment and thought to himself:

I'm keeping a low profile and don't like to show off!

Could it be that I skipped class back then just to learn my skills from an expert and brag about it?

Do I have to leave the army a long time ago, set up a mercenary group abroad, frighten the underground forces, and show off to everyone that I have won the title of King of Killers?

Don't make trouble, I'm very low-key.

Is Marty Jauncy really low-key? of course not.

He wants to show off to his relatives about finding a beautiful and rich wife, but he is so low-key!

But no one would believe these things if he told them, and he was afraid that his mother would worry about him, so he kept them secret.

"Brother, stop talking."

The protagonist of the dinner - cousin-in-law Lewis Shadboult waved his hand, took a sip of wine and said:

"The golden needle belongs to my aunt, and she has the final say on how to deal with it."

"But don't worry, aunt, even if you don't give me a gift, I will try my best to promote Marty Jauncy."

"That's good. I'll apply for a driver from the headquarters tomorrow and ask for Marty Jauncy by name. It's just a low-level position transfer. The headquarters will definitely agree."

"When Marty Jauncy becomes my driver, I will do my best to take care of him!"

When he mentioned the word 'care', Lewis Shadboult's tone suddenly turned cold, and he squeezed out these two words through his teeth!

Clearly this is a threat!

It means that if you don't hand over the golden needle, I will drag your son to my side, embarrass him, deal with him, and cut off all his future in the company!

Of course, he can resign. With your son's little ability, he won't be able to do well in such a humane place like Allure Group, let alone have any future elsewhere!

These threatening words were all spoken in Lewis Shadboult heart. After all, he is a decent man and must be polite.

Only by hiding a knife in your smile can you kill someone invisible!
