303 When Will You Two Get Married?
The war of snowballs then became increasingly intense, and Wayne, a neutral standing on the sidelines, was hit.
Later, he was forced to take part in their fight.
Then no one cared about which side they belonged to anymore. They simply smashed the snowballs against the first person they saw.
Henry told them to have dinner many times, but they all ignored him. Finally, they stopped playing because they were all starving.
As they walked to the dining room, they were talking excitedly about the snowballs fight. Their faces flushed from running and laughing.
During the meal, while everyone was eating quietly, Peter suddenly said, "Oh, | heard Henry say that Tammy likes skiing a lot. So, why not build a ski resort in the suburbs?"
Anna's eyes widened in surprise as she heard his words.
Wayne nodded very calmly and said, "Okay, you make the call, grandpa."
Although it snowed in this city every year, the snow would melt immediately. As a result, the snow in the ski resort was always artificial. It was a good idea because there were no major ski resorts nearby.
Then Peter said, "No, | cannot make that decision on my own. Wayne, you should be in charge of the investment and planning. I'm an old man and don't have the energy to run around for investment.”
It took Anna a moment to realize Peter was pressuring Wayne to go back to the Carousel Group.
Wayne handed a piece of dessert to Anna and said, "No, Grandpa, I've
been extremely busy recently. So, maybe I'll think about it sometime later."
Peter said impatiently, "What are you working on these days? You're just a mid-sized corporate treasurer! You know, it’s not as good as being a president!"
Anna felt humiliated immediately because she was the president of the medium-sized company Peter was referring to. She felt awkward and even wanted to leave the table.
When Wayne noticed Anna's embarrassed expression, he paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, | think being treasurer is a great job since it’s stable. If | were president, someone else would strive to replace me at any time."
Hearing that, Peter was speechless.
They wouldn't have had such a big fight if he hadn't misunderstood Wayne and thought he'd done something terrible. Although Wayne took the initiative to resign, Peter actually forced him to do so.
In fact, if Peter had replaced Wayne with someone other than Richard, things might not have gone so terrible.
Wayne and Richard had always been bitter enemies who despised each other to the guts. Therefore, Wayne was pissed off when he found that it was Richard who replaced him.
When Anna noticed Peter was silent, she said, "Grandpa, Wayne is eager to come back. But, he isn't ready for it right now. Can you allow him to return to your company after the holidays? He needs to clean up the books at my company right now. Just do it for my sake, please." To lighten the mood, Anna suggested.
Peter nodded his head and said, "Yes, you are right. As | said before, Wayne, you should finish everything you started. Well, you can come back
after you finish your work at Anna's company.”
Then Anna said to Peter, "Grandpa, it's your birthday next week, right? Wayne is not only preoccupied with work these days but also preparing for your birthday party.”
