The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 60

Tom didn't know what Phoebe was thinking. After lunch, he went to work.

If he knew, he might blurt out that he was the chairman of ZQ and what he could give her was beyond her wildest dreams.

Now that he was the chairman of ZQ, it would cause much trouble if he rode his electric scooter to work again, just like what happened last time.

However, he didn't buy a car, so he had to take a taxi to work. Before he got out of the taxi, the driver suddenly asked curiously, "buddy, you work in ZQ?"

"Yeah, why?" Tom said and nodded.

"Nothing!" The driver was a young man in his twenties. After pulling over, he turned around and started a conversation. "ZQ is really good. It has many popular stars and many of my friends are hellbent on getting to work there, but the bar is too high, and none of them can get in."

After a pause, the driver said with envy, "dude, you must see a lot of stars every day, right? That must feel wonderful."

Tom answered with a wry smile, "not as good as you think. In fact, celebrities are also human. Nothing different from us and nothing so wonderful."

After he acquired ZQ, he kept a low profile and did not have much contact with the stars in the company. But in his heart, he thought that celebrities were just normal people feeding on hype. To put it bluntly, it was just a profession. What was there to admire?

Unexpectedly, the driver disagreed and said solemnly, "there's a huge difference. Stars are high in the sky and have so many fans. It's so hard for ordinary people to see them in the flesh. A while ago, one of my friends got an autograph of Forrest and evoked a lot of jealousy. He even hooked up with two girls using that autograph. Awesome!"

Tom was incredulous. He didn't believe one could use an autograph to hit on girls. That was bizarre.

"Who's Forrest?" Tom asked curiously. He was a little embarrassed to ask that. Although he was the chairman of the ZQ Media, he knew nothing of the showbiz except for a few big names, let along those newly emerged stars.

The young driver immediately widened his eyes and looked at Tom as a man of a different era. He asked in disbelief. "You must be kidding me, bro. You don't know Forrest? He's so popular now. Haven't you watched Dreamlike Song? Forrest is the leading actor in it."

Tom cringed. He really hadn't watched it.

"Fine... "The young driver looked speechless." It seems that you really don't know Forrest. He has fallen off his pedestal recently because of a scandal and is not as popular as he was half a year ago. He was such a hit at that time."

The driver would drone on about Forrest if Tom hadn't stop him helplessly. "Bro, I gotta be late if I don't leave now."

"Sorry. My bad. I just can't stop."

Tom was not interested in Forrest. He was a capitalist now and had plenty of money. In his opinion, these stars were just his employees.

When he reached ZQ Building, no one recognized him as the chairman because he was casually dressed.

As he was about to walk in, a wave of screaming caught him from behind. Many young people rushed over. He looked back and saw a white Toyota Alpha parked on the side of the road. Two men in black suits opened the door and a man in white with thick bangs walked out.
