After work, when he came out of the office, he saw Forrest standing alone at the door, hovering uneasily with a gift box in his hand.
Seeing Tom come out, he immediately showed a surprised expression and quickly walked up to him and said, "Chairman, I'm sorry about today! This is an antique that a fan of mine gave me a while ago. I heard that the chairman also likes to collect antiques, so I especially brought it to you. Please calm down, chairman, and please forgive me!"
It was obvious that Forrest was nervous. He said it in one breath and handed the gift box to Tom with both hands.
Tom said, "There's no need for this. I have nothing to do with Megan. You can pursue her if you like, and I won't be angry with you."
When Forrest heard this, he was even more afraid. Desperately, he pleaded, "Chairman, I was really wrong. Please don't ban me from the business, chairman. I promise I won't talk to Miss Watson anymore!"
At this moment, there were still a lot of employees around. When they saw this, they all started gossiping, but they didn't dare to look over. They were afraid that they would make the chairman angry. They were all listening carefully but they pretended not to hear anything with their heads buried in their works.
Tom rolled his eyes for Forrest got frightened so easily. "Okay, okay, I won't ban you. Don't worry. Just work hard and make money for me."
Forrest relaxed a lot. "Then I beg you to accept the gift!"
"Is this necessary?" Tom frowned.
"Please accept it, or I will feel uneasy!" Forrest looked very serious.
Tom understood he was not joking for he was really scared. If Tom didn't accept it, he might be worried the whole time in his future work. If he failed in the filming, it would be a tragic loss to the company. After all, Forrest was ZQ Company's money-spinner now.
"Okay, I'll take it." Tom took the gift and found it quite heavy.
Only then did Forrest relax completely. He bowed deeply to Tom and said, "Thank you, chairman, for your generosity!"
Tom waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
Forrest was very happy. The antique he sent this time was authentic blue and white porcelain of the early Ming Dynasty. It was very valuable. He believed that the chairman would definitely like it!
At the same time, Rory was also picking out antiques to visit James tomorrow.
However, he couldn't bear to spend millions to buy the real one. He found a friend in this industry who was proficient in imitation and spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a high-grade fake blue and white porcelain. It would take a professional to know the real differences.
Early the next morning, Rory wrapped the fake blue and white porcelain nicely and went to visit James.
...
Tom fell asleep on the sofa and suddenly heard Elizabeth exclaim, "What? Rory is coming for a visit? Which Rory are we talking about here?"
Phoebe pulled Elizabeth aside and said unhappily, "Mom, calm down. Tom is still sleeping."
Elizabeth said indifferently, "So what? This is my house. Do I have to indulge him? Besides, it's seven o'clock. He's still sleeping? Lazy pig!"
