Chapter 63: How could I be so uncompetitive? Why can’t these legs stand up?

Jacob swallowed subconsciously, his pupils trembling.

He thought to himself:"Alexander, say something, please! Dispute Smith, compared to you, he is nothing!"

Alexander was silent for a moment, then calmly said, "What you are saying is..."

The entire room: "..."

Jacob crept towards the door, feeling that if he wonot left, some very unpleasant things might happen.

However, before he could reach the door, Smith began to speak again.

"Jacob, come here."

Jacob shivered subconsciously, looked back at Alexander, swallowed, and walked over with a forced smile:

"Smith, um... is there anything you need?"

Smith clapped his hands, gesturing for Jacob to sit next to him, then said: "Jacob, since Juwel came with you, he should be your friend, right? Try to help him as much as you can, see if you can arrange a job for him, it would be much better than writing novels, wouldn’t it?"

The room fell silent, Jacob was even more frozen in place, speechless.

He felt like crying.

Arrange a job for Alexander?

Oh my God!

Smith, you can’t say these things lightly!

I don’t have that ability!

Jacob trembled, "Um, you have to hear me out..."

Smith looked puzzled, "Are there any difficulties?"

Jacob was about to cry, "It’s not about difficulties, it’s just... um... I..."

Smith sighed in relief, "In that case, I can rest assured. Although Juwel is a writer, he looks quite sturdy. It wouldn’t be a bad choice to have him as your bodyguard or driver."

Jacob was about to collapse.

The others swallowed and looked at Jacob with immense sympathy. It was a feeling they could hardly empathize with!

Smith glared at Alexander, "Aren’t you going to thank your good friend Jacob?"

Alexander reluctantly said, "Thank you, Jacob."

Jacob’s legs suddenly gave way, and if it wasn’t for the sofa, he would have collapsed.

Tears streaming down his face, Jacob looked at Alexander and said, "No need to thank..."

Henry was holding back an urge to laugh out loud, his face flushed as if he was about to suffocate. If Alexander hadn’t been present, he would probably have burst into laughter.

Then, Smith turned his head, looked at Henry, and sighed, "Master Henry..."

Henry was taken aback, "What’s wrong?"

Smith said, "I heard that your Blizzard Martial Arts has been quite popular recently and many students have signed up. What’s going on?"

Henry immediately had a very bad feeling, he responded hesitantly, "Well, I’m no longer in charge of Blizzard Martial Arts, the current person in charge is..."

Smith shook his head, "Juwel is quite robust, do you think he could join your Blizzard Martial Arts? Being a martial artist wouldn’t be bad, and he would then be even more qualified to be Jacob’s bodyguard."

Henry: "!!!"

He instinctively glanced at Alexander’s meaningful eyes. Then, his legs gave out and he collapsed onto the floor.

The surrounding people were startled and quickly helped Henry up, "Master Henry, are you okay?"

Henry was gasping, he tried to stand up a few times, but his legs were just too weak, they wouldn’t listen, and he couldn’t muster any strength.

"I’m fine! Don’t help me! I can get up myself!"

Damn it! How could I be so uncompetitive? Why can’t these legs stand up?

Smith quickly said, "Quick! Get Henry to sit down, what’s going on?"

A few men struggled to help Henry up and sit him on the sofa.

Henry looked at Alexander’s eyes full of amusement, feeling extremely frustrated. How did I get dragged into this again?

Damn it! I should have seen this coming! Why didn’t I take the chance to slip away earlier?

Smith looked over, "Henry, can you help with this?"

Henry swallowed, his face pale, "I’m afraid this favor I might..."

Henry wanted to cry, how am I supposed to answer this!

Seeing Henry’s about-to-cry expression, Smith quickly corrected himself, "Henry, I was just casually saying it. If it’s really difficult, then forget it!"

Henry looked at Alexander, then at Smith, and said helplessly, "It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that...I don’t have the courage. He is..."

Alexander coughed, "Thank you, Master Henry."

Henry, on the verge of tears, "No, you don’t have to thank..."

Smith looked perplexed at the extremely restrained Jacob and Henry sitting on the sofa, feeling a bit confused. What’s going on with the two of them today, why are they acting so strange.

Henry quickly said, "Smith, isn’t today the day for the business summit? I think almost everyone is here, why don’t we start?"

Smith immediately shook his head, "No, there is an important guest who hasn’t arrived yet, we’ll start when he comes."

Smith stood up, "I’ll go downstairs to meet him, you guys wait here."

Alexander stood up with a hearty laugh, "Got it, Smith, you go ahead!"

"Okay, then I’m leaving."

The door closed with a bang.

In an instant, Jacob and Henry jumped up as if they were startled.

Jacob quickly helped Alexander sit down and said nervously, "Mr. Wealthy, you mustn’t listen to Smith’s nonsense! I wouldn’t dare to find you a job!"

Henry also spoke seriously, "Please forget everything I just said, I am a man of principles. You are the owner of Blizzard Martial Arts, and that will never change."

Alexander just laughed, then he noticed that there were quite a few fine wines in the cabinet next to him, so he suggested, "I estimate Smith is going to wait downstairs for quite some time, why don’t we taste his collection of wines?"

"Isn’t this a business summit? Why are we drinking? Is this appropriate?" Kelly asked in confusion.

However, Jacob quickly said, "It’s very appropriate, perfect even. Since it’s a request from the wealthiest man, I wouldn’t object even if we were to drink vodka!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Right, right, let’s drink and wait. I see here some top-notch Lafite wines, they should taste good." Henry added.

So, at Alexander’s instigation, everyone in the room started tasting wine.

Time flew by and an hour had already passed.

"Eh?" Jacob, his face flushed from drinking, looked at the door in confusion and said to Alexander, "Smith has been gone for so long, why hasn’t he come back? He’s really persistent. It seems he won’t come up until he sees you."

Alexander checked his watch and smiled, "It’s about time, why don’t you go downstairs and call him up? The other business representatives are still waiting for him to start the summit."

Jacob got up and walked towards the door, "I’ll go to the hotel entrance to find him, you guys keep drinking."

"Alright, hurry up and come back!" Henry added.

Jacob nodded, opened the door, and went out.

Ten minutes later, Jacob suddenly opened the door and came in panting, urgently saying, "Something’s happened to Smith!"
