That night, Emily Taylor ate three full bowls of noodles before she left, satisfied.
Downstairs, there was a black Maybach parked.
Ethan Smith sent Emily to the entrance and watched her get into the car and leave.
After Emily left, Ethan gazed in the direction she disappeared for a long time.
There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"I must be falling for her," Ethan thought silently.
But soon, Ethan shook his head forcefully.
As a divorced man, how could he be worthy of someone as outstanding as Emily?
...
In the car, Emily regained her usual indifference, listening to the secretary report the work on her side.
"Miss, the invitations have been prepared, and they will be formally sent tomorrow," the secretary said.
Emily nodded, and suddenly said, "Tomorrow, help me buy a batch of quality herbs and send them to Ethan."
Upon hearing this, the secretary's face turned a bit unsightly.
"Miss, I know I shouldn't say this, but..."
"If you know you shouldn't, then shut up." Emily interrupted the secretary coldly.
With a bitter smile, the secretary could only give up.
"Just remember, get top-grade herbs. The older, the better," Emily reminded.
"Yes, Miss," the secretary sighed inwardly.
He couldn't understand how a loser like Ethan could win Emily's favor.
...
News of the Taylor family's investment in River City had already spread throughout the city.
The upcoming banquet had even made the headlines of River City News.
In an instant, nearly the entire River City was discussing the matter.
At the Johnson family residence.
Gary Brown had seemingly become an honored guest at the Johnsons'.
Waving a red invitation in his hand, he said triumphantly, "Do you see what this is?"
Sylvia Johnson excitedly took the invitation and said, "Babe, you are amazing!"
Gary said indifferently, "As long as we can work with the Taylor family, getting out of River City is not a problem!"
Sylvia opened the invitation, looked carefully, and exclaimed, "Honey, why is my name on this invitation?"
Gary took the invitation and glanced at it.
Indeed, there were two names written on it: Gary Brown and Sylvia Johnson.
Gary's brow furrowed slightly.
Why would the Taylor family invite Sylvia? What qualifications did the Johnson family have to attend this banquet?
"Honey, you must have helped, right?" Sylvia asked excitedly.
Although Gary was somewhat puzzled, he still said, "Of course, I specifically requested the Taylor family to add your name."
"Honey, you are fantastic!" Sylvia excitedly kissed Gary's cheek.
