Chapter 69 Showing Off

Because Jacob thought that he was coming for work, he decided to wear a very formal suit, which made Kian think that Gerald and Jacob were there for a job interview.

Then Gerald and Jacob both frowned.

Before Gerald and Jacob could speak, Kian continued, “How did you get the interview notice? Normally, our company would only hire people who graduated from top universities. But since we are classmates, I can give you two some special treatment. In fact, I am already a manager at Universe Group. I have some good connections and an annual salary of more than 200 thousand dollars. I will help you.”

As he spoke, Kian looked at Gerald. “Jacob might be fine, but Gerald, you have been in prison before. It’s really impossible for you to join our company.‘

Gerald and Jacob were speechless.

They thought to themselves, did we ask you? Why are you telling us everything about yourself?

Showing off?

Gerald smiled in his heart and then said, “No, I’m not here for an interview. I came here with Jacob.”

Kian nodded. “So that’s what it is.”

Jacob did not want to hear Kian brag all the time, so Jacob quickly changed the topic. “Does Diya work here too? There seems to be something between the two of you.”

Kian showed a trace of pride on his face and then said, “Yes, Diya worked here before, and now we have been married

for a year.”

“Goodness. You actually marry one of the school belles,” Jacob punched Kian in the chest and said.

Back in high school, Diya and Doreen were the most beautiful girls on campus.

Kian frowned and patted his chest. Then he looked at Gerald and Jacob. “Work hard on your interview then. I will talk

to the interviewer as well. You know. If you can work in our company and you pass the probation period, you surely

will have a higher salary than you earned from your previous job. Of course, if you want to reach my position, you have to work ten times harder like me. Meanwhile, you must be talented.”

In the car, Diya seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Gerald and asked, “Do you know that Doreen is getting engaged?”

Jacob was stunned and looked at Gerald in surprise.

In high school, Gerald and Doreen were very close, and many people felt that the two of them might end up together.

Before Gerald could speak, Diya said, “That’s true. You just came out of prison, so you certainly do not know. The man is called Henley, the young master of the Zumthor family. They look like a perfect match, though.”

Kian nodded and said, “Indeed. I didn’t expect that our school belle would be married. By the way, their engagement party was scheduled for Saturday. Doreen’s family invited many of our high school classmates, more than 20 people. Doreen will also be there. We plan to meet up on Saturday. I organized it, by the way, and it is at the Felicity Hotel. You

two can come too.”

Jacob and Gerald frowned at the same time.

But Kian still smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Everyone won’t care that you just came out of prison. We are all good classmates. And if Jacob did not pass the interview today, he might find another job when meeting our classmates

over there. They might as well introduce you to some jobs.”

“Okay. We can go then. I haven’t seen them for many years,” Gerald touched his nose and said.

“Sure. I still have documents to hand in. I have to go.” Kian nodded. After getting in the car, Kian thought of something and said, “By the way, we will split the bill by then. I think it is about 500 dollars for everyone. You do have that money, right? Remember to bring them with you.”

As Kian spoke, he started the car and drove toward the company.

Seeing them leave, Jacob scolded, “This fucker. How dare he keep showing off!”

Meanwhile, Gerald heard the conversation between Kian and Diya.

Diya said, “Gerald is actually out of prison. But he has been chased away from the Kenneth family. Look at his clothes. He must be broke.”

“Gerald was the best student at school, and his family was rich. But guess what he did? A rapist can only be at the bottom of society for the rest of his life. He is nothing like us, and we will not meet him often,” Kian said disdainfully. “And Jacob actually came to our company for an interview. He won’t really work in our company, will he?” Diya said.

“Don’t worry. I’ll go talk to the interviewer later. In Universe Group, we don’t just take in anyone,” Kian replied disdainfully.

Then Gerald touched his nose, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He looked at Jacob next to him and asked, “He just showed off in front of us all the time. Are you angry?”
