Chapter 239
“Why else would the boss hand over the conglomerate to him? Out of five sons, he’s the only one with the most self–discipline, the coolest head, and the
most meticulous mind.”
“Don’t you guys find this rigid lifestyle suffocating?”
“What are you talking about? That’s discipline! A man with such perseverance, he’s just so irresistible!”
“I think he’s essentially a very clear–headed person!”
“I agree!”
Once Hans Collins finished his bath, he busied himself in his study until bedtime, then he headed to his bedroom.
On the corner table in the bedroom, there lay a tiny, delicate gift box.
Hans Collins glanced at it, knowing that his sister hadn’t come back yet. He turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Arabella didn’t get home until eleven at night. After bathing and attending to some private matters on her phone, she hurried off to the lab early the next morning.
Last night’s drug synthesis didn’t go as planned; many problems arose during the research process; several experts studied till dawn; and Arabella, so as not to worry her parents, came home late last night and left for the lab before dawn.
When Hans Collins got up, he was a bit surprised to hear that his sister had left early.
Typically, a girl her age would sleep in during the holidays, but in his sister’s eyes, work seemed to be the only thing..
The gift will have to wait until tonight.
During breakfast, Serena was constantly trying to butter up Hans Collins, now pouring him milk, then getting him a sandwich, then passing him a napkin. “Bro, are you coming home for dinner tonight?”
Watching Serena prance around him, Hans Collins calmly replied, “Yes.”
“Awesome! Then I won’t go out for dinner with Brooklyn Reed and the others tonight.” Serena was thrilled: “We were supposed to go for afternoon tea, then a spa, and then dinner, but if you’re here, I won’t bother with them!”
Hearing this, Louisa gave a satisfied smile and said, “Serena has you in her heart; if you’re not busy, come home more often.”
“Sure.” Hans Collins gave Serena a gentle look, and after breakfast, Julian drove him to the company headquarters.
While going through some documents, Hans Collins suddenly remembered something Julian had mentioned before.
“You said there was a design competition that wanted to invite me as a judge? I’m available.” Hans Collins’s voice was very calm, and then he went on reading the document in his hand, “I’ll attend.”
Julian was stunned!
The boss never changed his decisions!
Today was really weird!
Could it be that this design competition had some special connection, or did they have some dirt on the boss? Inviting or forcing the boss to go? But the boss didn’t seem like the kind of person who would easily submit.
Hans Collins was reading the document when he suddenly remembered something: “Oh, right, keep an eye on the company’s movements today.” The goods were due today; he’s not sure if his sister can deliver something satisfactory.
If not, he would personally step in.
“Yes!” Julian found today’s boss to be quite different, not only changing previous decisions but also starting to pay attention to the small company This was really strange.
Nine in the morning.
