Chapter 1136 Stubborn Professor
Hearing what Lucas said, Flynn immediately looked surprised.
Little Atlantis City was the best entertainment joint in Orange County. Having lived in Orange County for many years, Flynn was naturally well aware of it.
Flynn knew Joe as well and also thought that he was a very intelligent person.
But Flynn didn’t expect that Little Atlantis City belonged to Lucas and that Joe was also Lucas’s subordinate.
!!
He was not overly surprised though.
After all, Lucas was extremely mysterious and terrifyingly powerful, so much so that even the helmsmen of some of the eight top families in DC were loyal to him. In that case, it didn’t seem too strange that Joe, who was like a mafia boss in Orange County, was Lucas’s subordinate.
…
The following morning, shortly after Lucas arrived at the Stardust Corporation headquarters, Joe came to report to him with his thirty subordinates.
The moment he saw Lucas, Joe was incredibly excited. He immediately stepped forward toward Lucas and said, “Mr. Gray, I’ve finally seen you again!”
Actually, since Lucas took Joe under his wing and put him in charge of acquiring all the underground joints in Orange County, he hadn’t looked for Joe often. When Lucas had to deal with the Kingstons back then, Joe and his subordinates from Little Atlantis City had indeed given a lot of help. At least, he was absolutely loyal to Lucas.
Moreover, Joe’s subordinates had all undergone countless trials and tribulations. In terms of strength, they were far stronger than the bodyguards of many families, which was why Lucas had asked Joe to bring his subordinates over to take over the security duties.
But even Lucas didn’t expect Joe to rush over overnight. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared at the Stardust Corporation headquarters so early in the morning.
Still, it was naturally a good thing to have hardworking and passionate subordinates.
Lucas said directly to Joe, “Since you’ve brought your people here, from now on, you’ll be the head of security of the Stardust Corporation headquarters, and you’ll be responsible for all the security matters of the Stardust Corporation. Do you have any problems with this?”
Hearing this, Joe looked ecstatic as he frantically said, “Alright, no problem! Mr. Gray, since you trust me so much, I’ll definitely do my best to do a good job with the security of the Stardust Corporation!”
Although Little Atlantis City was the best entertainment joint in Orange County, it was still a rather small place.
Even in Orange County, Little Atlantis City was far inferior to the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch, much less the headquarters of the Stardust Corporation!
Joe definitely didn’t think that he was lowering his status by being the head of security at the Stardust Corporation headquarters. Instead, he felt that it was a sign that Lucas trusted him greatly.
Joe had always been intelligent, so he could infer from this matter that since Lucas trusted him, there would definitely be better opportunities for him in the future. Of course, this was on the condition that he could do a good job at leading the security team of the Stardust Corporation.
Lucas smiled slightly and said to Flynn, “From now on, Joe will be the head of the company’s security department. You can talk to him about the specifics later. All his subordinates will also join the security department.”
“Yes, Lucas.” Flynn immediately acknowledged and then took Joe and his subordinates to the HR department to complete the relevant administrative procedures.
Soon, Flynn came to Lucas’s office again with a somewhat serious expression.
“What happened?” Lucas asked.
Flynn said, “Professor Carson just called to say that Professor Crawford insists on going to the construction site. He can’t stop her at all, so… he would like you to try persuading her too.”
Lucas was a little stunned, but he smiled wryly. “Ah, your mentor is really… too enthusiastic! She underwent emergency resuscitation in the hospital yesterday and probably just woke up last night. But this morning, she’s already eagerly clamoring about going to work on the construction site. Her enthusiasm makes me feel ashamed!”
Lucas stood up from his seat and walked out. “Okay, let’s go persuade her!”
“Exactly. She’s too stubborn, but to be able to build a city with her own hands is Professor Crawford’s biggest dream in her life. I’m afraid it will be hard to convince her.”
While talking, the two of them went downstairs and drove to DC Hospital in half an hour.
Before they arrived at Gemma’s ward, they heard a comforting voice from inside. “Mom, the doctor said that you should recuperate properly for the next few days. Just be good and wait a few days. When your body recovers, I’ll take you to the construction site to inspect it personally, okay?”
The voice belonged to Paul.
Immediately afterward, Gemma said insistently, “No! I know my own body well. I’ve already recovered, and I don’t need to continue resting here anymore. I’m going to the site right now. Otherwise, I can’t be at ease here!”
Hearing this, Lucas and Flynn looked at each other with wry smiles. Then they walked into the ward together.
Seeing the two come in, Paul heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had found a savior. He hurriedly greeted them. “Mr. Gray, Mr. Davis, you’re here!”
Gemma quickly said when she saw them, “It’s great that you’re here. I’m just about to go to the construction site to take a look, but my unfilial son is trying to stop me from going. Come on, hurry up and take me there! I haven’t gone to the site to see it today, so I feel uncomfortable all over, and I can’t stop worrying!”
While speaking, Gemma lifted the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked around for her shoes.
Seeing this, Flynn hurriedly went forward to hold Professor Crawford and said, “Professor, don’t be in such a hurry! I came here today to report the progress on the construction to you in detail.”
As soon as she heard this, Gemma hurriedly asked, “Is everything okay at the site? Did those people who made trouble yesterday cause any bad effects? Has the progress been delayed?”
Flynn smiled and said, “Please rest assured. It wasn’t affected, and Mr. Gray has already resolved the matter. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner at the site. You really don’t need to worry so much.”
Professor Crawford sighed. “As you know, my biggest dream is to design and build a city with my own hands. Now that I’ve finally gotten the opportunity, how can I not worry about it?
“Oh yes, the design drawings are all based on the results of the site survey, so you must instruct the construction department to follow my drawings for everything. Do you hear me?
“If there is a slight difference, the final result will be very different. You must remember this! And get the workers on the site to be very careful not to make any mistakes!”
Gemma held Flynn’s hand and instructed him in detail.
Flynn naturally agreed. After speaking to him, Gemma felt much more at ease and less anxious.
Seeing this, Paul silently winked at Lucas and walked out of the ward. Lucas understood and followed him out.
