My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Who Made Our Little Girl Angry?

"I’ve worked with Miller for half my life. I can’t just abandon him at a critical moment. Don’t give me that nonsense about ditching my conscience for money—I’m not that kind of person. Don’t bother me again."

As he was about to hang up, Mr. Jordan quickly stopped him.

"Hold on, don’t be so hasty. I never said you had to abandon Miller. Listen to yourself!"

"I don’t have to abandon Miller? What do you mean?"

Mr. Jordan said, "I know you’re a man of principle, and it’s hard to sever a lifelong friendship with Miller. I never intended for you to do that."

"My company went under, so didn’t I come running to the Vaughn Group? Miller can do the same. He’s run a company his whole life—isn’t the ultimate goal to make money? If he joins the Vaughn Group too, he can definitely make a comeback."

"How about this? I’ll set something up. Tonight, the three of us—you, me, and Miller—can sit down and have a proper talk. You two bring your tech and equipment and join me. We can build something big and powerful together, what do you say?"

This time, his words truly struck a chord with Mr. Lee.

After another moment of hesitation, he said, "I’m just a tech guy; I don’t get involved in the other stuff. As long as I don’t have to part ways with Miller or betray my principles, I’m fine with anything. You should go discuss it with Miller."

"That’s a relief to hear." Mr. Jordan beamed. "I’ll call Miller right now. Make sure you keep your evening free!"

After hanging up, Mr. Jordan was absolutely ecstatic.

"Ah, young lady, thank goodness I ran into you today! My problem has taken a major turn for the better! I’ve got to go make some arrangements. Thank you! You get back to what you were doing. When this is all settled, I’ll give you a big red envelope!"

Seeing how happy Mr. Jordan was, Cecelia felt happy too.

’If only I could join Mr. Jordan’s company. Working under such an open-minded and kind leader would be much more interesting than being at Triton.’

The next day, Cecelia went to work as usual. Less than half an hour after her shift started, Mr. Jordan came looking for her again, beaming.

"Young lady, it’s done! I had a long night of drinking with Miller and Lee, and the two old friends are ready to come join me. We’re getting things ready today and signing the contracts this afternoon."

"You played a huge part in this. Here, here, this is the big red envelope I promised you yesterday. Take it."

With that, he stuffed a red envelope into Cecelia’s hand.

Cecelia gave it a squeeze. ’It’s so thick! This has to be at least ten thousand!’

"No, no, please, Mr. Jordan. It was an honor to help you. I couldn’t possibly take your money. This is really too much."

Mr. Jordan said, "Hey, you’re not my employee; you have no obligation to give me advice. You deserve credit where credit is due, so don’t be shy. Take it. I like smart and bold young people like you. I might even need your help again in the future, so don’t be a stranger!"

Cecelia wasn’t just being polite; she felt that one shouldn’t ruin someone’s good impression for such a small gain, so she insisted on refusing.

"Now you’re really making me feel ashamed. What I did was nothing, really. Besides, I’d love nothing more than to be your subordinate and give you advice every day. Just consider it me repaying the favor of you signing that contract for me last time. I really can’t take this money."

Seeing her firm refusal, Mr. Jordan’s appreciation for her grew even more.

"Alright then, young lady. I’ll remember the favor you did for me. In the future, if you decide you don’t want to work at Triton anymore and want to come to our company, you can come find me anytime."

Cecelia was ecstatic internally, but she suppressed it on the surface. "Thank you, Mr. Jordan."

That afternoon, the contracts were signed without a hitch. Mr. Jordan went to report back to Damien Vaughn.

Damien Vaughn hadn’t expected that while he had only intended to recruit Mr. Lee, he had ended up acquiring the experienced Miller as well. This would be a huge boost for his future expansion into the precision parts industry.

"Didn’t you say you had no ideas when we spoke on the phone yesterday? How did things suddenly progress so quickly?"
