Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Bank Dividends

Actually, it wasn’t even fifteen minutes before Ruth Wilcox arrived at the ninth floor with three bags and knocked on the hotel room door.

She knew that Yusuf Zuck showered quickly, and indeed he did; he hadn’t even used ten minutes for showering and brushing his teeth. When Ruth entered, he was idly fiddling with his cell phone.

"This is for you, go inside and put it on!" Ruth handed the three bags to Yusuf Zuck.

"Thank you." Yusuf nodded his head gratefully. Ruth had brought him new clothes, which meant she must have bought them in advance and simply hadn’t had the chance to give them to him until now.

"But there’s no need to go inside, right? The bathroom is damp!" Yusuf chuckled.

Ruth’s face turned red. "You wouldn’t dare!"

"Of course I wouldn’t, of course I wouldn’t." Yusuf hastily clasped his hands together in a bowing gesture and then ran into the bathroom, holding the pile of new clothes.

A short while later, Yusuf, dressed head to toe in new clothes, came out of the bathroom. Ruth was standing in the room, sizing him up.

The outfit she had bought fit Yusuf perfectly and even made him look particularly handsome.

"You’re missing a scarf, but just wear it for now. I don’t have time to go out shopping at the moment. Come over here and sit down," she beckoned Yusuf.

"Ms. Wilcox, are there any new instructions?" Yusuf asked with a grin, sitting opposite Ruth. Without any reserve, he took her hand. Ruth struggled briefly but, finding she couldn’t pull away, she simply let him touch it.

"I wanted to ask you... how is she doing?" Ruth whispered.

"I brought a Miao doctor from Guizhou. I don’t know the specifics, but the doctor said there’s a way, and it’ll need around ten days of treatment," Yusuf replied truthfully.

"Oh," Ruth nodded. "As long as she’s alive, that’s good."

"Yes, as long as she’s alive, that’s good," Yusuf agreed.

"Mia was called by you, right? You even knew to have someone come and keep me company. But why do I feel like Mia wasn’t here to accompany me, but to surveil me? Also, what benefit did you offer her? She’s been singing your praises in various ways these days."

"No, I didn’t give her any benefits. She said nice things about me? Well, that’s right. I went to Jakarta and rescued her from a bunch of mercenaries. Wouldn’t I at least be her lifesaver? So if she’s not praising me, would she badmouth me?"

"That does seem like a plausible reason." Ruth nodded and gave Yusuf a deep look, which made Yusuf feel nervous.

However, she did not continue speaking.

Yusuf’s scalp tingled as well. Indeed, a smart woman like Ruth, what couldn’t she guess? What couldn’t she see?

"Leader, any further instructions?" Seeing her silent, Yusuf got a bit anxious, so he asked proactively.

"Of course there are," Ruth glared at him. "Why did you beat up Herman Holloway? You broke all his limbs!"

"Here’s what happened. Listen to me explain." Yusuf immediately recounted the incident to Ruth, including how Herman had spoken about his sister.

"He deserved to be beaten, but you went a bit too far. Also, how can you be unharmed after all this?" Ruth was puzzled about what sort of capabilities Yusuf had that allowed him to beat Herman Holloway yet move around freely as if nothing happened, with the authorities not apprehending him.

"Let me tell you, I am now a special agent," Yusuf whispered.

"Pfft—" Ruth laughed out loud at Yusuf’s statement and gave the back of his hand a fierce twist. "Stop talking nonsense. I... I need to explain something about earlier."

"Earlier? What incident?" Yusuf asked, clearly baffled.

"About the incident in my office with little Ross. We... we..."

Watching her slightly annoyed and anxious expression, Yusuf was utterly captivated. She looked especially beautiful and adorable at this moment, trying to explain her presence with a stranger in a room.

"Ruth, I love you..." Yusuf didn’t let her continue, instead pulling her into an embrace all at once.

"He came to see me, wanted to take me out to dinner to catch up, but I didn’t agree. I’m keeping my distance from him, I didn’t lie to you..." Ruth Wilcox curled up in his arms, inhaling his scent, feeling somewhat intoxicated.

She herself didn’t know what was happening to her; she really missed him desperately. He had become an indispensable part of her life, and she couldn’t imagine what she would be like without him.

She missed him, truly missed him!

"I know, I know," Yusuf Zuck nodded repeatedly, proud of Ruth Wilcox’s loyalty to him because he heard it all.

"By the way, there’s something else," she extricated herself from him and then said excitedly, "I’m now the acting general manager of New Century, and I also have the power to appoint and dismiss personnel."

"Acting, huh? When will you be permanent?" Yusuf Zuck blinked and asked.

"I don’t know about that. The day after Herman Holloway had his incident, the company’s board found out, and then the legal department came over for a meeting to inform us. I didn’t see the chairman. I heard that the company has been acquired and there’s a new chairman."

"Actually, I’m the chairman," Yusuf Zuck whispered.

"Stop joking; I’m very busy right now. Sometimes I have to go to Tianjin because the hotel skyscraper there has already broken ground."

"Do you need any help with that?"

"I need a driver..." Ruth Wilcox winked at him.

Yusuf Zuck felt a bit awkward; he really didn’t have time to be her driver.

"I... I have to go to Japan tonight, after the Spring Festival I need to go to Yunnan to gamble on stones, and in March, I have to return home to Shandong. How about this..." Yusuf Zuck thought as he spoke, "Whenever I’m in the capital, I’ll come and drive for you, but when I’m not, I’ll arrange for someone else to do it, okay?"

"Why are you so busy, even busier than me?" Ruth Wilcox complained.

"I have to make money to support the family, right? I’m going to marry you in the future..."

Ruth Wilcox gave him a look, "In the future, you might not marry who you say..."

"Ahem, let’s change the subject," Yusuf Zuck coughed lightly.

"Your phone is ringing," Ruth Wilcox reminded him, because Yusuf Zuck’s phone had beeped twice with a message.

"It’s just a text, don’t worry about it."

Ruth Wilcox’s face fell for a moment, then jokingly said, "Is it inconvenient?"

"How is it inconvenient, why would you start to get jealous?" Yusuf Zuck was shocked, Ruth Wilcox had actually learned to be jealous.

While he spoke, he also pulled out his phone to check the text message.

It was a bank notification. Yusuf Zuck opened the message and saw that two large amounts of money had just been transferred to his bank account!

"Wow, that’s a lot!" He was startled with just one glance.

"What?" Since Ruth Wilcox was close to him, she could see the screen of Yusuf Zuck’s phone when she looked over.

She curiously glanced at it, then saw the contents of the text message!

"What... what’s going on?" She was stunned after reading it.

"It’s a bank dividend. I have shares in Hang Seng and HSBC, and these are the year-end dividends. I can’t believe it’s this much!"

"What?" Hearing Yusuf Zuck’s words, Ruth Wilcox was stunned once again. Her Yusuf Zuck, spitting Yusuf Zuck, actually had dividends from two major banks?
