James was shocked when he saw Henry and Lisa got their salary doubled just because they called Nina madam. He had called her Aunt Nina for so long, but John didn't give him any benefit? Why?
He had made great efforts to get his monthly living expense increased from three thousand to thirty thousand by taking Michelle away from Nina.
James was angry.
He thought he had got unfair treatment but he didn't dare to say anything.
Henry seemed to have noticed James' resentment, so he moved over and secretly gave him a piece of advice.
"Mr. James, maybe you can consider flattery."
"Flattery? I've flattered my uncle for many times." He had always flattered John.
"Flatter madam." John had been flattered these years. Everyone seized the opportunity to flatter him. He didn't lack flattery at all.
"Aunt Nina?" James was dubious.
"Mr. Adrian called her sister-in-law and got the VIP card of HD Square. Lisa just called her madam and her salary was doubled."
"Did Adrian really get the VIP card? Just because she called her sister-in-law?"
"Absolutely."
Feeling amazed, James thought seriously that he'd better have a try since he had little living expense.
At this time, Lisa happened to propose to John, "Mr. John, shall I choose clothes for madam after she wakes up?"
John knew little about it. Although Lisa was just a manager, she had been a designer for many years and had a good taste in beauty. It seemed that this was why she had been the manager of the headquarters for seven or eight years.
"Okay." He thought her suggestion was feasible.
"We don't need to choose clothes for Aunt Nina. In my opinion, just leave all the clothes to Aunt Nina. She looks beautiful no matter what she wears. After all, she is as beautiful as a fairy. She is a natural beauty, with a beautiful face, bright eyes and red lips..." James seized every opportunity to speak and praise Nina. He had spoken out all the words he knew and he was almost out of breath.
Henry's eyebrows twitched. He just asked James to flatter Nina but not to make himself out of breath.
For money, James would risk his own life.
Regardless of other people's eyes, James took a deep breath and continued to praise Nina, "Whatever Aunt Nina wears will become the fashion. There is no need to match clothes to her."
Then he smiled and said, "Do you agree with me, Uncle John?"
John gazed at James with a faint smile on his face. He was surprised that James knew so many words of praising others. He even said so much in one breath. Most importantly, his praise was quite accurate.
Those words were really the perfect description of Nina.
"Go on." John liked what James had said.
"What?" Go on? He didn't know what else he could say. He had been supernormal.
James looked at the other two people for help. Henry smiled and said nothing. Lisa shook her head, indicating that she could do nothing.
Sure enough, both men and women could not be relied on so he could only rely on himself.
"Uncle John, I would like to make a conclusion that you have such a good taste that you find such a good girl to be my aunt. What's more, Aunt Nina has the same good taste as you so she likes you." James had to praise the two at the same time.
James hoped John would increase his living expense and gave him three hundred thousand because of his flattery.
John knew that James was asking for money.
Although John was not so willing to do as James wished, he really liked what James had said, especially the last sentence.
