The dinner in the evening was mainly to celebrate the successful performance of Gary, so they chose a
restaurant that Gary liked to eat. When the waiter served pizza and steak on the table, Gary's little face
was full of joy and excitement. He sat on the chair, with knives and forks in his hands, and his legs
were shaking.
Rachel was not interested in steak and pizza. She felt full after a few bites. She wiped her mouth and
put down the knife and fork. Seeing this, Jimmy asked with concern, "Don't you like it?"
"I like it." Rachel raised her lips. "But I'm full."
"Do you want some fried rice or something else?"
Seeing that Jimmy raised his hand and was about to call the waiter over, Rachel quickly stopped him
and emphasized, "I'm really full. Thanks."
Jimmy smiled, "Don't worry about my wallet. I still have money for this meal."
Before, Rachel helped to deal with the rescue of Jimmy's wife. She knew very well about his economic
situation. Except for the bank and himself, she must be the one who knew the most about it in the
world.
Jimmy had owed a lot of debts due to the failure of his previous business.
However, although he said it casually, Rachel knew that this was what men cared most about.
She denied with a smile, "If I'm not full, I won't be polite."
Then she asked, "I remember that you don't continue your business. What are you busy with now?"
"I am running an electric appliance store with a friend. It can barely support my livings."
Jimmy also put down his knife and fork, took a sip of lemonade on the side, moistened his throat, and
continued, "Now the price of the goods is expensive, and customers are smart. They prefer to
comparing prices in different stores or directly shopping online, so we can't raise the price. After
deducting the rent and other expenses, we can only barely maintain it."
"Is the bidding price very expensive?" Rachel frowned. She was not good at doing business and had
never been in touch with it.
On the contrary, she often heard from the nurses in her previous department that the businessman had
a black heart, who often sold some things that were only worth dozens of dollars to hundreds.
Was electric appliances an exception?
Jimmy smiled bitterly, "Our business is just at the beginning stage, and we can only find the following
dealers to purchase the goods. When the goods come out of the factory, they have already dealt with
many people, and the price has increased several times. How cheap can it be to sell them to us? To
put it bluntly, we are just goods porters."
Hearing this, Rachel immediately understood a lot, but she was still a little confused. "Can't you directly
find the factory to purchase goods? The price should be lower."
"We want to." Jimmy shrugged and said helplessly, "But which factory is willing to cooperate with us, a
small shop? We don't have much buying. I guess they won't even look at us."
Rachel nodded.
Although she had never known about the business, she had stayed with Jack for a long time. She had
heard from him on the phone that the amount of orders he mentioned seemed to be eight figures.
Obviously, Jimmy didn't have such strength.
Gary didn't know how heavy the topic was, but he still ate happily. Seeing that there was some
spaghetti on Rachel's plate where the steak was placed, he asked, "Aunt Rachel, don't you eat? Can I
have Italy noodles in your plate?"
"Of course, I don't want to waste food."
Rachel forked the noodles and put them in Gary's bowl. At this time, a figure suddenly flashed through
her mind. She said with uncertainty, "I seem to know a person who specialized in making electric
appliances, such as fridge and air conditioner. Do you need my help to ask?"
Obviously, Jimmy couldn't believe it. He opened his eyes wide and looked excited, but a few seconds
later, he calmed down again. He scratched between his eyebrows and said, "Won't it bother you too
much?"
"No, I'd love to help you."
Seeing that Gary's mouth was dipped in tomato paste, Rachel took a piece of tissue to wipe it for him.
Perhaps it was because she had been pregnant that she felt her heart softened a lot. Rachel knew how
important a family was to a child's growth.
If she hadn't known Jimmy and Gary, she wouldn't have meddled in his business. But now that she
knew this, it was fate. So she hoped to do her best to help them.
She smiled and said, "But don't be happy too early. After all, I'm not sure if I can succeed or not."
When she came out of the restaurant and was about to check the time, Rachel saw the missed call
from Julie. She thought that she would be home soon, so she didn't call back.
Julie usually went back to her room to have a rest, but today she still sat on the sofa, with a look of
hesitation on her face. Seeing her expression, Rachel vaguely guessed something and asked in a low
voice, "Did Jack come back?"
"Yes, but he went out again." Julie licked her lips and reached for her bag. After hesitating for a while,
she asked, "Miss Rachel, who did you have dinner with tonight? Mr. Jack asked me to call you, but you
didn't answer. He was very angry."
"Just a friend."
Glancing around, Rachel found that the glass bottle she bought two days ago was gone. She asked
calmly, "Was he so angry that smashed all my things?"
"It's an accident." Julie was afraid that Rachel would be angry, so she tried to help Jack hide the truth.
Rachel didn't expose it. She smiled faintly. This glass bottle was not a precious thing. One day when
she took a walk after dinner, she saw a peddler selling it on the roadside. She bought a glass bottle and
some sea balls back.
However, she didn't throw the sea balls in the glass bottle at once, but one every day.
When she finished throwing all the sea balls in the bottle, it was time for her to leave.
However, she didn't expect that the glass bottle had been broken by Jack before she threw the sea ball
in.
Julie followed her to the door of the bedroom. She didn't know if she should tell her that Jack had taken
a suitcase with him when he left.
When she was hesitating, Rachel had already taken off her coat, turned around and reminded her,
"Julie, I'm going to bed. If it's not something important, let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?"
She had been suffering from insomnia for the whole night because of him. Now no matter how
important it was, she didn't want to know anymore.
Scarlett has been living a rich life recently.
She had wanted to resign for a long time, but she hadn't made up her mind because of the financial
problem. Now Jack was on her side, so she immediately submitted her resignation to her leader.
Now, all she needed to do was to sleep until she woke up naturally every day. Then she would go to
the shopping mall with her friends to buy clothes and all kinds of jewelry.
In the past, she would count the money in her bank card. Because of the price tag, she could only put
down many things she liked and put them back on the shelf. But now, she didn't need to look at the
price on the shelf at all. As long as she liked them, she could directly throw them to the shop assistants
and ask them help to pack.
In the past, she envied her friends who could buy whatever they wanted as soon as they got their
salary, but she had to use some of them to support the family and pay off their debts. Now all of these
were out of her consideration.
Scarlett was getting more and more accustomed to this kind of life, but she still felt a little uneasy in her
midnight dream, fearing that Jack would kick her away. After all, she had been with him for so long, but
he was not even willing to touch her.
At this time, Kailey just came to her house to visit her. Naturally, she opened the fridge and took out a
bottle of drink. She raised her head and took a big sip. Then she wiped her mouth with the back of her
hand casually and said enviously, "Cousin, you are so lucky now. You are so happy that you don't need
to do anything every day. You just need to spend money."
"It's okay. It's boring to spend money only." Scarlett smoothed her hair on her shoulder and said
deliberately.
With her back to Scarlett, Kailey curled her lips. When Kailey turned around and looked at Scarlett, an
envious and flattering smile appeared on her face again, which made Scarlett very happy.
She took a look at several shopping bags thrown at the vestibule, took out a new dress, shook it off and
put it in front of her to have a competition. "Cousin, the material of your dress is really comfortable to
touch. It should not be cheap, right?"
"It's okay. This dress is only a little more than five thousand dollars." Scarlett replied indifferently.
Kailey suddenly opened her mouth wide and was able to swallow two eggs in. In the past, when she
worked in the hotel, it would take her two months' salary to buy this dress.
She folded it carefully and put it back into the bag. With a smile, she walked to Scarlett and sat down
next to her. She gently tapped her shoulder with her fists and said with a flattering smile, "Cousin, you
must be tired after shopping all day. Let me give you a massage. Is it comfortable? Is the strength
okay?"
"Not bad."
Scarlett didn't refuse. Instead, she sat in a different position and asked Kailey to help her massage her
shoulders. Scarlett seemed to quite enjoy it.
Kailey puckered her lips and made a look of disgust. Of course, it was impossible for Scarlett to see it.
The next second, she put on a flattering smile and said, "Cousin, you are so rich now. You must have a
lot of free money, right?"
"What's wrong?"
At the mention of money, Scarlett looked much more serious. She didn't let Kailey continue to massage
her, motioning for her to sit down.
