Chapter 20 Because Of You

"Yes! I'll never harass Jenny again." Gary nodded his head repeatedly like a stray dog. Only after Josh heard this did he turn around and leave, heading to the next table. After Josh had left this table, Gary's father, Ming Wei turned to his son. "You are just a bastard! Even dare to offend Chairman Lin!" "Pop!" Ming Wei slapped Gary hard on the face to pour out his anger. "Listen, I'm going to punish you by grounding you for a year. Just think over at home!" Ming Wei pointed at Gary, yelling and cursing. When Gary heard that he was grounded for a year, he was miserable. But he didn't dare to argue. He deserved that, because he had offended the new Chairman of Huading Group. All that had just happened was seen by Jenny and her father, Mr Huang. Before the cocktail party started, they were worried about Josh and advised him to leave the party quickly. However, Josh, the new Chairman of the Huading Group, was so smart. He easily overpowered Gary and his father, making them kneel and beg for forgiveness. Next, the toast continued. After Josh's recent outburst, everyone was even more respectful to Josh. Many bosses even took the initiative to introduce their daughters to Josh in order to reach a higher post. On the other table, Julia sat with her father. Julia's father was exhorting her. "Julia, Chairman Lin will soon be toasting to us. You must behave well and try to make a good first impression on Chairman Lin. It would be great if you can get in touch with him directly." "Dad, I ......" Julia felt it difficult. She knew that she had left a very bad first impression on Josh. He had told her that she was not worthy of him. But Julia didn't dare to tell her father about it. At that moment, Josh had come to the table. "I'd like to propose a toast to everyone." Josh held a wine glass. Everyone stood up with their glasses. All of them were respectful. Josh only gently took a sip, but everyone at the table drank fully, not a drop left, as if this was the only way to show their respect for Josh. At that moment, Julia's father smiled and spoke. "Chairman Lin, this is my daughter, Julia. She is about your age. Julia adores you and wants to make friends with you." Immediately afterwards, Julia's father gave Julia a wink, signaling that it was her turn to speak. Just as Julia was about to speak, Josh left her with a glance. Then he turned around and left without giving her a chance to speak at all. As Julia watched Josh leave, she suddenly stunned. She found that Josh didn't even look at her directly, treating her as if she was air! "Am I ...... that bad?" Julia had thought that Josh might sneer at her or teach her a few lessons, which wasn't scary. She had never thought of that Josh just didn't take her seriously at all! At this point, Julia once again remembered that night, meeting with Josh at the bar. "How could I be so stupid? I've missed such a great opportunity!" Julia was furious, knowing full well that it was definitely the perfect opportunity to befriend Josh that night. If she had behaved well, maybe she could have gotten to ride Josh's coattails, the new Chairman of Huading Group. Unfortunately, God had given her such a great opportunity, but she wasted it. Of course, it is no use crying over spilt milk! At this point, Josh had walked to the table where Jenny was sitting. The people at the table held their glasses and stood up. This table's position was quite far from the center. And the bosses sitting at the table were on the lowest level in the whole place, so when they saw Josh, they behaved more respectful. After Josh finished toasting, he walked directly to Jenny and Mr Huang. Before Josh could say anything, Mr Huang, who was terrified, had bowed to Josh and said. "Chairman Lin...... Before the cocktail party started, I have offended you. I hope you forgive me!" He was scared when he remembered how he had treated Josh. He now knew that it would be too easy for Josh to do anything to him. Josh helped Mr Huang straighten up and smiled. "Uncle is overly worried. I'm not mad at you. I know that you're protecting Jenny by telling me to stay away from her. It is what a qualified father should do. As for you telling me to leave the cocktail party quickly, it's really for my own good." The other bosses present were envious after seeing this scene. Because Josh wouldn't say much to them at all when he had made the toast, but he appeared to be very enthusiastic towards Mr Huang and even called him ‘Uncle’. How could they not be envious? Mr Huang was flattered to hear Josh address him as 'Uncle'. After all, Josh and he were of very different status. Josh was the new Chairman of the Huading Group, but he was just a small boss of a small company. So Mr Huang said. "Chairman Lin, I can't afford to be called that. You could just call me Mr Huang." "Uncle, Jenny helped me yesterday, so I treat her as a friend. And my friend's father is also mine, so you can afford to that." Josh said with a smile. Immediately afterwards, Josh looked at Jenny. "Jenny, we meet again." Josh still kept smiling. "Chairman Lin...... I really didn't expect that you would be the new Chairman of Huading Group." Jenny was a bit shocked. When Jenny was helping Josh at the hotel yesterday, she never dreamed that this person would be the new Chairman of Huading Group. "You could call me Josh. Don’t be a stranger." Josh said with a smile. "Chairman...... Josh." After hesitating for a bit, Jenny said. "Thank you for stopping Gary harassing me, Josh." Jenny said, biting her red lip. Jenny had often been harassed by Gary in the past. But she was unable to do anything about it for fear of Gray’s power. However, Josh had just warned Gary not to harass her, so she could finally have peace in the future. "A good girl like you shouldn't have been harassed by that jerk. Don't worry. If there's anyone else who dares to harass you in the future, just let me know and I'll help you." Josh smiled. Jenny lowered her head with shyness and nodded. Although Jenny hadn't spent much time with Josh, she found that Josh was very different from the other second generation rich people. He wasn't arrogant or domineering. He didn't use his power to bully the weak. Instead, he supported and helped the weak. "By the way, I heard that your dad and you are eager to cooperate with me, don’t you?" Josh asked. "Mm-hmm!" Jenny raised her head and looked at Josh, nodding vigorously. Mr Huang also looked at Josh expectantly. Originally, Mr Huang thought that he had no chance to cooperate with Huading Group anymore. But at this moment, he suddenly felt hope again. "About the cooperation, I had said before that I could help you. Now do you think I have the ability to do that?" Josh asked with a smile. "Of course! Absolutely! You're the Chairman of the Huading Group!" Mr Huang nodded repeatedly. "Okay, after the cocktail party is over, you could come to the VIP lounge and we'll discuss the cooperation in detail." Josh said. "Good!" Mr Huang nodded his head repeatedly in excitement. After seeing that, other people were so envious. They also wanted to get in touch with Josh, but they failed. But Josh took the initiative to talk to Jenny and Mr Huang, and even invited them to continue the conversation after the cocktail party. How could they not be envious? ...... The cocktail party was over. Josh, Jenny and Mr Huang met in the VIP lounge. Josh sat right in front. Bob stood beside him. And Jenny and Mr Huang sat behind. "Uncle, our company has just terminated our cooperation with Hongda Building Materials Company today, so there is just a shortage of a partner in building materials. I want your company to supply for me from now on." Josh said. "...... Really?!" Mr Huang was surprised and happy. Jenny also looked surprised. If they could work with Huading Group, their company would not close down. Instead, it would be stronger! "Do I look like I'm joking?" Josh retorted with a smile. "But...... we're a small company and we don't have a price advantage. There are better companies than us to choose from. Why would you choose us? it's a disadvantage to you." Jenny said with her head down. "Because of ...... you of course!" Josh looked at Jenny with a smile.
