The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 3738



Elaine could have never imagined that Jacob, who had been doing nothing for most of his life, would suddenly strike a pot of gold when he got older. Elaine kept mocking Jacob's useless position as the vice president for the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Secretly, however, she knew that the position held a certain weight to it.

The higher management of such cultural associations were usually cultural and influential people. On top of that, the city leaders respected them.

However, Elaine had been tyrannical with Jacob all her life. She couldn't let Jacob overshadow her with his new achievements, so she deliberately piled more and more ridicule on him to bring him down.

Jacob was very displeased with Elaine's ridicule, and wanted to refute her. Her scathing remark about him being a good-for-nothing who was just there to make up the numbers hit him hard. It stirred his sheer pettiness and deep-seated sensitive feelings of inferiority.

He had felt the same as he was in front of Yolden earlier.

He was clear about how he had no real ability.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Although he finally became the vice president of his association, he was still a good-for-nothing.

Having Elaine speak to him so sarcastically only served to hurt his pride even more. He immediately rebuked her, "Do you think I'm doing nothing as a vice president? As the vice president, I can broaden my horizons and also strengthen my connections!"

He continued bragging, "By the way, I got to know an overseas Oskian who had just returned to the country today. She's an extremely rich young lady! She donated some works of art worth ten million dollars to our association, and even agreed to sponsor fifty million dollars for us to hold a local art exhibition. A strong contact andwork like this may be of great use in the future!"

Elaine's mouth twitched in dissatisfaction. She berated him, "Why are you bragging? Did you just claim that someone came and donated a hundred million dollars to your association? Why would anyone do that for no reason?"

Jacob blurted out, "What do you know? There are plenty of insanely rich people in the world. Many rich men go around the world to donate for charity and do sponsorship. What's the big deal when one donates some money to a cultural association?"

Jacob then proudly credited himself and added, "By the way, I even managed to recommend Charlie and Claire for a business opportunity from this meeting! Would I have such an opportunity if I didn't join the association?"

Elaine asked with a frown, "You got a business opportunity for Charlie and Claire? What sort of business?"

Charlie was taken by surprise as well. "Yeah, Dad. I don't do business."

Jacob quickly clarified with Charlie, "Charlie, aren't you helping others as a Feng Shui Master? The lady I've met today has recently purchased a villa herez While we were casually chatting during dinner, she mentioned that she wanted to hire a Feng Shui Master to look at her new Villa's Feng Shui. I knew I must help our family as soon as I heard her. After all, we should keep the benefits in the family, right? So, I

recommended you to her." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Jacob then added, "You've had

some rich clients for your Feng Shui service, haven't you? Don't you

usually charge them one or two

million dollars for your services

This overseas Oskian lady seems to be extremely wealthy. You can just quote her at two to three million dollars! I'm sure she'd agree without hesitation." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Elaine was overjoyed over Jacob's suggestion. She immediately told Charlie, "Charlie, this is a good deal! You don't even have to go far. You can easily make millions of dollars in Aurous Hill!"

Charlie snickered, speechless. He was unsure how to answer them.

Although he kept telling his family that he was out providing Feng Shui services to his clients, he had never done an actual Feng Shui job. It was just

an

excuse for him to work outside Aurous Hill.

He used to think his excuse was reasonable. Flawless, even. He never expected his father-in-law to actually introduce a new client to him.

He didn't care about a million

are about

dollars, or any amount of money.

Unfortunately, it seemed he could not simply reject this request. Otherwise, it would be strange for

him to use Feng Shui services as an excuse in the future. Content

He had no choice but to nod in agreement. "Alright, Dad. Why don't you give me her contact information? I'll contact her tomorrow."

Jacob took out a name card and handed it to Charlie." Here you go. This is Ms. Jane's contact. You can call her tomorrow and mention my name. She'll know."
