Chapter 214
When they were back home, Jennifer could no longer hold her curiosity back and asked, “Andrius, do you know Master Turner personally?”
The other three widened their ears for the answer.
“Not really. It’s just that I saved his life once,” Andrius explained leisurely.
When he was fighting at the frontline of the Western Frontline, Hansel, who was a well–known business tycoon, was abducted by terrorists. The terrorists demanded more money to fund their terror activities. Andrius had saved him.
Hansel respected Andrius because he was the Wolf King and also his savior.
1 see.”
When Jude heard the answer, he scoffed with disdain. “Andrius, you are really from the mountains. You are so narrow–sighted. You didn’t know how to use your connection with Master Turner. A favor from Master Turner is difficult to get. It can make a person rich overnight and help a family rise to prominence. Yet you…
He looked at Andrius with contempt. “You simply use his favor to act cool. How foolish.”
Jude laughed at him.
Both Ford and Jennifer suddenly looked at him with similar disgust.
Andrius was indeed a narrow–sighted person. He was favored by heaven, yet he simply wasted the chance.
What a fool!
Jude exclaimed meaningfully, “A person must rely on your own capabilities, not luck. How many times do you think Lady Luck will favor you? Are there that many influential figures waiting for you to save them?” His words reminded Halle that Andrius had also saved Mayor Freely before, and now Hansel too.
How many influential figures had he saved?
Andrius simply ignored Jude’s sneers, unbothered.
Jude then handed Ford and Jennifer a contract. “Uncle Ford, Aunt Jennifer, this is a little present that I have prepared for you two. It’s not much of a profit, just around three to five million.”
Although he emphasized the number, he made it sound like the number was nothing.
Ford and Jennifer were over the moon. They took the contract and praised him, “Jude, you’ve really helped us big time!”
“Thank you, Jude!”
Jennifer said passionately, “Jude, you should come visit us more often in the future. You don’t need to be courteous to us. Make yourself feel at home.”
“This is nothing.” Jude shook his head without being too concerned. “Unfortunately, the Golden Dragon project from the local government has been taken away, or else we would have earned a lot more.” The Golden Dragon project?
Both Ford and Jennifer swallowed nervously when they heard the name. A hint of regret flashed in their
eyes.
Andrius noticed it, and a thought rushed into his mind. He asked Halle softly, “Is the government project that important to your family?”
“It is.” Halle nodded and explained, “Government projects usually have a large profit margin, and its reputation says it all. There’s no breach of contract or delays in payment.
“More importantly, government projects usually receive help from all the departments. It will progress smoothly and also provide us with a large benefit. It’s like winning the jackpot for a family business.”
Andrius instantly understood the situation. He said to Halle, “If that’s the case, I’ll ask someone to send over an ongoing government project.”
Jude overheard his words and scoffed.
He sneered at Andrius, “Andrius, do you really think you run the government? Government projects are not some presents that you can simply give away. I guess ignorance is bliss.”
Ford and Jennifer looked at Andrius suspiciously.
“Hmph.” Andrius scoffed. He argued, “If I’m able to bring her a government contract, then you must stay away from Halle. What do you say? Wanna bet?”
He was not trying to win Halle’s heart or whatever, but she kept using him as an excuse, and it started to get annoying. Therefore, he wanted to get rid of Jude once and for all so that he could be free.
“If you want to make a fool out of yourself, be my guest.” Jude cackled and argued, “Let me make myself clear. If you can’t provide them with a government contract, then stay away from the Fullberries and never see Halle again!”
Andrius got Jude’s promise, so he pulled his phone out and dialed a number.
“Marcus, bring me a government contract for an ongoing project. Bring it to the Fullberries‘ estate.”
