Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 693 - : That’s Adrian Zhekova’s Wife
Chapter 693: Chapter 693: That’s Adrian Zhekova’s Wife
“But don’t worry, our CEO is indeed very busy, he will definitely meet you if he has time, how can he just leave you hanging here?”
After that, Billy Houston, as if fearing that he would be taken advantage of by Richard Lopez, rushed to clock in, like a dog chasing after him, and hurried into the gate.
Without any shame, after he rushed through the gate, he waved to Richard Lopez: “Brother Liu, I’m leaving first!”
Without waiting for a response, he grabbed Manager Zhu and the others and left.
Richard Lopez: “…”
After entering the elevator, Billy Houston wiped his sweat and said with lingering fear: “Luckily we ran fast, otherwise it would be really troublesome if he wrapped us up. Although we definitely can’t bring him in, if the CEO finds out after being entangled for a long time, it’s easy to cause misunderstanding. What if the CEO thinks we have a good relationship with him? What will we do?”
Manager Zhu thought to himself that even if there was a misunderstanding, it would be between Billy and Richard, not him.
However, Billy was really cunning, and he quickly made his own judgment without knowing anything.
And judging from Richard’s reaction, Billy’s judgment seemed to be quite accurate.
No wonder Billy’s position was higher than his.
Upon realizing that he couldn’t count on Billy, Richard had to return to his seat with Mrs. Lopez and Edward Lopez.
Mrs. Lopez whispered, “Is Adrian Zhekova really busy?”
Richard said irritably, “Don’t listen to Billy’s nonsense, all the people from Pingla are very cunning and never tell the truth! I’m not sure if they are here to see the planning department or even to see Adrian Zhekova, but they just don’t want to take us in.”
Edward Lopez noticed that the Pingla employees who passed by would glance at them, and then whisper to each other after looking.
It was obvious that they were gossiping about them and laughing at them.
“What’s the matter with these people from Pingla? Do they have any rules? They are just a bunch of ordinary employees, and they dare to be so impolite!” Edward said, getting up and heading to the door.
Mrs. Lopez quickly grabbed him.
“What are you going to do?” Mrs. Lopez asked softly.
Seeing Edward’s angry look, it didn’t seem like he was going to do something nice.
Richard’s face darkened, and he scolded, “Sit down!”
“I want to teach them a lesson. What kind of people are they? How dare they laugh at us and make fun of us!” Edward said angrily.
Mrs. Lopez also looked back, but the Pingla people didn’t seem to be afraid of being discovered, and they left the company while talking, not showing any guilt.
Richard’s face also darkened, but he wasn’t as impulsive as Edward. He could endure and scolded Edward in a low voice, “Don’t you see where this is? This is not our territory, this is Pingla’s! If you discipline their employees here, what would Adrian Zhekova think?”
“Do you think you’ve given him enough handle, or do you want to make him angrier and continue against our family?”
Edward was choked and stopped talking.
With Richard watching, Edward didn’t dare to act rashly.
Seeing Edward’s frustration, Mrs. Lopez took the opportunity to educate him: “Look, now you know you can’t speak up, right? You didn’t enter the family company to work and don’t have any real power at hand, who cares who you are? To them, you’re just an ordinary trust-fund baby, unrelated to them!”
“Without any conflict of interest, they don’t need to fear you or please you. If you can help in the family company, do a good job and have a say in the business, if there’s a chance to cooperate with Pingla in business, will these employees still laugh at you? They would just beg to please you!”
Edward remained silent, his face flushed.
Richard sneered, “Him? Help the company? I used to advise him. Now I’m afraid he’ll help the company! With his temperament and lack of brains, who knows if entering the company will help or harm it. Don’t let him ruin the company even more!”
“Dad, I’m not as useless as you say,” Edward said dissatisfiedly.
“You’re useful, you’re useful enough to bring trouble to the family as soon as you’re back. You’ve offended Adrian Zhekova the moment you returned! In Belfard, there are plenty of trust-fund babies and dandies, but none have offended Adrian Zhekova. Their families are all fine, unlike you, who wants to bring down the family!”
“And your cousin, Wyatt Kirk. Don’t you and your mother always look down on him?” Richard glanced at Mrs. Lopez, “You always say that Edward is no worse than Wyatt Kirk. You say Wyatt is ignorant, a through and through dandy, knowing only how to play all day with bad friends and not helping in their family’s company.”
Richard looked at Edward again, “Before, I asked you to help in the company, but every time I said that, you said that your cousin hadn’t gone to the company yet so you weren’t in a hurry. Recently I said you should go to the company after graduation, and again you said that your cousin graduated a long time ago and hasn’t gone to the company yet, so you weren’t in a hurry.”
“You always use your cousin as a stepping-stone, no matter how ignorant or how much of a dandy he is, he hasn’t offended Adrian Zhekova! He hasn’t caused any risk of bankruptcy for their family company!”
Richard’s words made Edward’s face even redder, and both he and his mother always looked down on Wyatt.
Edward felt that both of them had not helped their respective family companies. However, Wyatt’s education was not as high as his. At least he had gone abroad to study and returned with a doctorate degree, while Wyatt was only a college graduate, right?
Although it was also from a prestigious foreign school, it was just a matter of having enough money to get in.
Who knows how much money Wyatt had stuffed in there?
After graduation, he had been in Belfard all the time, partying and enjoying himself every day, so Edward always looked down on him.
He never thought there would be a day when Wyatt could surpass him.
While the Lopez family of three were talking, mainly Edward being scolded by Richard:
Suddenly they heard a very neat and uniform voice not far from the door: “Hello, CEO’s wife!”
Then they heard Pingla’s employees asking one after another: “Has the CEO’s wife come to deliver lunch for the CEO again?”
“The CEO is so lucky!”
“The CEO shows us pictures every day, letting us see the exquisite and beautiful lunch that the CEO’s wife makes for him, it looks delicious.”
The Lopez family could only hear all kinds of rainbow fart-like sounds rushing towards them like a tide.
The three of them looked towards the door.
Richard asked in a deep voice, “Is that Adrian Zhekova’s wife, Cindy Clarke?”
Richard looked far away, and saw a young girl walking through the door, holding a delicate and beautiful lunch box in her hand.
