Chapter 65: Unexpectedly Meeting an Old Classmate_1
After hanging up the phone, Ace Harris felt like he wanted to die.
"Mr. Kylan, what happened? Isn't your father the vice mayor..." Nola O'Connor whispered.
Ace Harris glared at Nola in front of him, wishing he could slaughter her!
"Clean this woman up for me and then throw her at the O'Connor family!" Ace said with a cold face.
"Yes, Mr. Kylan." Several people immediately stepped forward and dragged Nola onto the car.
...
At this moment, the Hill family's market share continued to decline, and capital reflux encountered difficulties.
"Mr. Hill, our capital flow is facing a huge problem," Stephen Hill's secretary sighed.
Stephen Hill stood in front of the window, his face cold.
After a moment of silence, he said, "It's okay, I guess the loan I just applied for will be granted soon."
"But...our market share is still dropping." The secretary sighed.
Stephen Hill didn't speak; he held the Soul Nourishment Pill in his hands and fell into deep thought.
He never imagined that such a small pill would cause such a huge loss for the company. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
What Stephen Hill had not expected even more was that Emily Taylor had already anticipated the funding shortage in the Hill family and the approval of the loan.
That's why she introduced Ethan Smith to the president of Chuzzle Bank.
Everything seemed to be within Emily Taylor's expectations.
...
"Mr. Smith, where are we going?" At this point, Ethan Smith and Edward Green had arrived at the bus station.
Ethan Smith smiled, "To Shiglance City."
Although Leonard Schultz suggested that his wife be taken to River City, she was a patient and couldn't afford the hassle, so Ethan Smith refused.
Standing at the entrance of the bus station, Ethan Smith and Edward Green bought two tickets.
"Mr. Smith, why don't you buy a car? Taking a bus is too low-key," Edward Green grumbled quietly in the waiting room.
Ethan Smith rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just an ordinary person. What's the big deal about taking a bus?"
"That's not what I meant," Edward Green explained.
"It's just that you're not short of money now. Why bother..." Edward Green didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.
Ethan Smith nodded slightly and said, "It's true that I'm not short of money now, but money should be spent where it's most needed."
Buying a car wouldn't bring much return to Ethan Smith, far less than the benefits of taking public transportation.
Moreover, Ethan Smith was not a vain person and did not need a car to embellish himself.
About ten minutes later, the two of them boarded the vehicle bound for Shiglance City.
As soon as they sat down, Ethan Smith's shoulder was tapped.
Turning around, he saw a beautifully dressed girl staring intently at him.
"Are you...Ethan Smith?" She asked tentatively.
Ethan Smith carefully examined the girl and suddenly exclaimed, "You are...Ada Pauley?"
"Yes, it's me, Ethan Smith. I didn't expect to meet you here!" Ada said with a hint of surprise and delight.
Ada Pauley was Ethan Smith's high school classmate and the only person he had a good relationship with.
It wasn't because of anything else but because Ada Pauley's background was similar to Ethan Smith's. Both were orphans since childhood and were neglected in their class.
During the last class reunion, Ada Pauley was also not invited.
"It's been more than a decade, and you've changed a lot," Ethan Smith couldn't help but sigh, looking at Ada.
He still remembered that Ada was just an ordinary-looking girl who didn't know how to dress up when they were in school.
Now she has grown up into a beautiful young lady.
"So have you," Ada said somewhat shyly.
"By the way, are you going to work in Shiglance City too?" Ada asked.
Ethan Smith shook his head and smiled, "I am going to treat someone."
"Treat?" Ada was a little surprised.
"After all these years, you've become a doctor," Ada said, slightly taken aback.
Ethan Smith just smiled without explaining.
Through their conversation, Ethan learned that Ada knew she was from humble beginnings, so she studied hard and had obtained a master's degree from a prestigious university.
As long as she found a job, her future would be promising.
The two talked all the way, sharing everything until they reached Shiglance City and still had more to say.
Before they parted, Ada gave Ethan a phone number, saying, "Let's keep in touch. When I get settled in my job, I'll treat you to a meal."
Ethan Smith laughed, "Okay, it's a deal."
Then Ada took a taxi and left.
Meanwhile, Ethan Smith and Edward Green remained at the station, waiting for Leonard Schultz's car.
About ten minutes later, an Audi A6 stopped in front of them.
In the car, Leonard Schultz's son, Jonathan Schultz, frowned and said, "Dad, do you really want this Ethan Smith to treat mom?"
Leonard Schultz couldn't help but sigh.
He naturally didn't trust Ethan Smith, but Emily Taylor's intentions were too obvious. This was a compromise Leonard Schultz had to make.
"If Ethan Smith is smart, he shouldn't get involved," Leonard Schultz sighed.
Jonathan asked worriedly, "What if he insists on getting involved?"
Leonard Schultz's face tightened, full of worries.
"For your mom's sake, I can only offend the Taylor family," Leonard Schultz gritted his teeth, as if making a big decision.
Afterwards, Leonard Schultz got out of the car and walked up to Ethan Smith.
"Mr. Smith, please get in the car," Leonard Schultz said politely.
Ethan Smith greeted Leonard Schultz and then took Edward Green into the car with him.
