chapter 21 Give money for meals

After having breakfast, Ashburn was in a good mood. Give it to Sam to swipe. The five-star black card could be used for unlimited consumption. Ashburn did not need to pay. The consumption record in the card would be settled by Red Rose Pavilion with the headquarters in the year. In other words, Jacqueline was paying for him. Sam finished swiping the card and handed it to Ashburn with a card attached. "Mr. Xanthos, just a little gift, I hope you like it." "Sam, this is..." Ashburn was confused. Even if he didn't need to pay for the meal, he could still gain money. Was there such a good thing in the world? Sam had a flattering smile on his face, "Mr. Xanthos, when you submit the report to the boss, I hope you can put in a few kind words." "What report?" Ashburn was completely confused. "Mr. Xanthos, I think we have a tacit understanding, now my future is counting on you." The people sent to inspect were usually unfamiliar faces and would not reveal their identities directly, to achieve the effect of a private visit incognito, conducted a surprise inspection, and avoided some restaurants from preparing in advance and taking shortcuts, and Sam knew this. Dressed like Ashburn, wearing sportswear from a street stall, it looked ordinary, how could he have a five-star black card? There was only one possibility, and that was, he was the investigator secretly sent down from the company. If Oswald hadn't forced Ashburn just now and asked him to take out the five-star black card, Sam would haven't realized. When Ashburn returned to the group headquarters, he could just make a few complaints and the Red Rose Pavilion would have been held accountable. It may be facing a round of rectification, and he, the manager, was probably finished. "Sam, is there any misunderstanding?" Although Ashburn can read Qi, he can't read minds. He couldn't understand what this guy was thinking. It's so ridiculous to give him money for a meal. "No no no, there's not any misunderstanding." "I can't take this card." When Sam heard this, he thought Ashburn wanted to give him a lesson, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Xanthos, today's incident is not the responsibility of our store, it is all the fault of Oswald. Don't worry, since Oswald disrespected you, I will not let him feel happy.” "What are you talking about? Sam, why can't I understand you?" Sam thought Ashburn was pretending to be a fool with him, so he said with a crying face, "Mr. Xanthos, you must accept this money, otherwise... otherwise, I will die!" "So serious?" Ashburn had never thought it would end like this. He could only reluctantly accept this card. Sam immediately beamed and respectfully sent Irene and Ashburn out. Sam watched as Ashburn drove his mother away on an electromobile. He secretly sighed, realizing how sophisticated the secret investigation team at headquarters had become. Their preparations were so complete that the investigator himself rode an electromobile, making it nearly impossible to identify him. Especially the middle-aged woman next to him, who pretended not to know anything. Her acting skills were so superb that she was comparable with actresses in "The Birth of an Actor". … On the car, Irene became more and more confused as she thought about it, and asked, "Ashburn, why did that Sam give you money just now?" "I have no idea either." Ashburn was also confused, "Maybe it's because he has a warm heart." "He's too warm then..." "Who knows, it's baffling." As he said that, the cell phone in Ashburn's pocket rang. He stopped the electromobile, fearing that his mother would fall, so he asked her to get out first. Ashburn took out his cell phone and saw that it was Hebe calling. Ashburn couldn't help but frown. Needless to say, it must be because of Oswald's matter. A thirty-year-old man was still snitching like a child. Ashburn sighed helplessly and clicked the answer button, "Hello, Mom." "Ashburn, you tell me, did you bully Oswald just now?" Hebe questioned with an aggressive attitude. Ashburn chuckled lightly, "He is four or five years older than me. I bullied him?" "He was crying to me just now. What a grievance! Let me tell you, I'm just a nephew. If you dare to bully him, I'm not done with you!" The mother-in-law's usual partiality made Ashburn no longer have any illusions about her, but he didn't want to argue with her, so he asked casually, " Anything else? If not, then I hang up." "Why are you in a hurry? Don't hang up. Did Gina give you a... what's that card? Oh, a five-star black card!" "I do have a five-star black card, but it wasn't given by Gina." "I know clearly that this is a card from the Scenic Group. Only high-level officials have it. You, a loser, have it? It must be because we cooperated with the Scenic Group, and the Taylor family gave it to Gina. This doesn't belong to you, return it quickly." "I got it from others. If you don't believe me, ask her." Ashburn didn't bother to explain to her and hung up the phone. Irene stood aside and asked quietly, "Ashburn, was this Hebe's phone number?" "Um, yes." "Kid, how can you be so impatient when talking to her?" Irene sighed sadly. She knew her son's difficulties, but there was nothing she could help a live-in son-in-law who was living under someone else's roof. Being subservient to others was inevitable, "What's the reason?" "It's okay Mom." "You can't stay here all the time. There will be gossip. After all..." Irene felt guilty. As a mother, she felt very sorry for Ashburn. "You are live-in son-in-law... When you married Gina, you had already become a member of them." Ashburn felt bitter in his heart. His surname was Xanthos, and he had become a member of the Willow family. He had already failed his ancestors. However, the irony was that the Willow family did not regard him as one of their own. "Okay, Mom, you have just recovered from a serious illness. I need to stay by your side to take care of you." "I don't need any care, I'm fine now." "No rush, let me observe you for a few more days to make sure you are completely fine. It won't be too late for me to go back." Ashburn comforted Irene and then continued driving to the Old Town. After returning home, Ashburn changed out of his sportswear. He went to a nearby ATM and checked the amount of the card that Sam gave him. The password had been written on the back of the card. After checking, it turned out to be a total of $200,000. Fuck, so generous. Ashburn seems to have found a shortcut to get rich. The Scenic Group still had more than a dozen restaurants in Narada. If he worked more diligently, could he pay off Gina's one million soon? He put the card away and walked out when he saw a fresh and elegant figure walking past him. Ashburn had lived in the Old Town since he was a child. He recognized this girl as Mandy Summer and she seemed to be a nurse, but he had no contact with her before. Mandy hurried down the street, clutching a canvas bag and wearing white shoes. Suddenly, two shady figures appeared from around the corner and blocked her way. The Old Town was an area without jurisdiction, where good and evil people mingled, and ruffians and street bullies were often seen.
