Chapter 508: Chapter 507: Ms. Wilcox Is Still A Tiger

"Bro, you actually remember to give me a call!" The moment Old Xu’s phone was connected, he howled furiously. It had been almost half a year and not a single call from Yusuf Zuck; he had no clue whether the three of them had lived or died while smuggling themselves out of the country.

"I forgot, I forgot..." Yusuf Zuck said with a sheepish laugh.

"Why didn’t the three of you just drown," Old Xu cursed angrily, "You go abroad and can’t even make a call? I damn near erected a monument for you guys."

Yusuf Zuck replied with a laugh and a curse, "You’d actually do something like that, but I’m back in the capital now. Where are you?"

"I’m in the capital too, bro. Business here is tough, my furniture store is about to be sold off. Got any plans to take over? I can’t do it anymore. The competition is too damn fierce. Been here half a year and lost over a million!"

"Enough with the chatter. I’m at the New Century Hotel. Come over immediately, let’s talk in detail there."

"Alright, I’ll need to borrow some more money. Setting up a shop in the capital was against my old man’s wishes, and now I’ve lost so much I can barely clothe myself. So you have to help me. Coming to the capital was all about hanging out with you, and now even that’s gone bust."

"Why all the nonsense? Hurry up, the New Century Hotel, just take a cab." Yusuf Zuck laughed and cursed again.

"Got it, I’ll be right there." Old Xu chuckled and then hung up the phone.

Yusuf Zuck was actually feeling a bit guilty. Old Xu really came to the capital to hang out with him but ended up not only missing out on fun times but also losing over ten million.

Old Xu’s family furniture factory wasn’t a very large enterprise, so a loss of over ten million was probably a real blow. Who knows how his father was cursing him in the background.

"Brother Yusuf, your favorite tea." While Yusuf Zuck was thinking about Old Xu’s situation, Paisley Kirk took a break to bring over a pot of tea and a cup for him. She was actually sneaking a moment of rest, as the whole hotel staff was mobilized. The restaurant was booked for an event, and moreover, it was booked by the Chairman, so there was no room for any slack.

"Have a seat here and rest for a bit. You’re all sweaty." Yusuf Zuck gestured for Paisley Kirk to sit beside him.

"Okay, then I’ll take a little break. Ms. Wilcox is upstairs in a meeting and won’t be coming down for a while!" Paisley Kirk stuck out her tongue as she spoke.

Yusuf Zuck laughed. He was very familiar with Ruth Wilcox’s work style – she treated all employees equally, so it was normal for Paisley Kirk to be afraid of her.

"Are you getting used to it? Is being a nurse better, or working here as a manager?" Yusuf Zuck asked with a smile.

"What do you think? You tell me which is better," Paisley Kirk countered.

Without thinking, Yusuf Zuck replied, "Nurse. You in a nurse’s uniform are really... cough cough, I don’t mean anything by that." He cut himself off halfway, realizing he misspoke. After all, the fair and delicate Paisley Kirk in a nurse’s uniform was truly stunning.

Paisley Kirk blushed, but whispered, "Then, when you come home, I’ll wear a nurse’s uniform at home..."

"Gulp—" Yusuf Zuck swallowed the scalding tea down his throat. If he couldn’t catch the hint from little Paisley’s words, then he was really an idiot.

Yusuf Zuck grinned and glanced at Paisley Kirk, who was stealing glances at him. Their eyes met and quickly averted, sharing an understanding that went beyond words.

"Ms. Wilcox knows about us, right?" Yusuf Zuck whispered.

"She knows a bit, but hasn’t asked me." Paisley Kirk thought for a moment and added, "Ms. Wilcox is kind of scary. I even saw Louise Garrett recently."

"What? They met?" Yusuf Zuck was shocked. He hadn’t been in the capital, so he was in the dark about the happenings there.

"Yeah." Paisley Kirk whispered, "One day after work, Louise Garrett happened to be passing by and said she’d pick me up. Then, when I came out after changing, Ms. Wilcox just so happened to be walking out too."

"Ms. Wilcox wanted to give me a ride home, but by then, Louise Garrett was already waiting in the parking lot and had gotten out of her car looking at me."

"Then the three of us ended up walking together. Ms. Wilcox didn’t know who Louise Garrett was at the time and even asked me with a smile who she was, so I had no choice but to introduce her as my friend, Miles O’Brien."

"At that moment, Louise Garrett didn’t realize that was Ms. Wilcox, and when I introduced them, Louise Garrett turned pale. Ms. Wilcox also seemed to recognize the name Louise Garrett, but after thinking for a moment, she still shook hands with Louise Garrett. Louise Garrett’s smile at that time was uglier than crying. She later told me that she didn’t know what happened, but she was actually scared of that woman, even more so than I am!"

"Honestly, I’m scared too," Yusuf Zuck curled his lips and said, "You have no idea. Back when she used to train me, she didn’t give any face at all. One glare, and everyone was useless."

"That’s true, from the assistant managers to the kitchen staff, there’s no one in the hotel who isn’t scared of Ms. Wilcox. When you hear the sound of her high heels walking, a lot of people get nervous!"

"But this is about work, after work hours, Ms. Wilcox is very easygoing. She has driven me to the entrance of my residential area several times, and just the other day, she even bought me a dress. I also get a higher bonus than the others each month, and she privately told me that after I get accustomed to the job, she might make me her assistant manager as soon as next month to help her out."

"How much are you making a month now?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.

"Just over twenty thousand, nearly thirty thousand with the bonuses," Paisley Kirk replied.

"Do you have a car in mind? There’s still time this afternoon, I’ll go buy it for you," Yusuf Zuck said after a moment of thought.

"Just buy one cheaper than Sister Louise’s, definitely do not buy a more expensive one," Paisley Kirk didn’t refuse, she and Yusuf Zuck had an unspoken understanding. She couldn’t quite express the feeling, but it was very beautiful.

Yusuf Zuck understood her meaning, if he bought a car more expensive than Miles O’Brien’s, where would that put her?

"I got it, go on with your work, Ms. Wilcox is coming down," Yusuf Zuck said with a nod.

"Oh, then I’ll be off," Paisley Kirk jumped to her feet and ran towards the restaurant upon hearing that Ms. Wilcox was coming down.

Yusuf Zuck couldn’t help but feel amused, Ruth Wilcox was a queen, a tiger, in Fóngdū, and she was still a tiger at the New Century Hotel, everyone was afraid of her!

Ruth Wilcox really did come down, with her female secretary by her side. Seeing Yusuf Zuck in the lobby, she waved at him and strode over, her high heels clicking loudly.

"You’re still here?" Ruth Wilcox sat down and said.

"I’m about to leave, got some stuff to handle this afternoon, I’ll be back for dinner, it’s with people from the investment company and a few other friends from the capital," Yusuf Zuck didn’t mention Miles O’Brien’s name.

"Sure, Mr. Zhang’s dinner, of course we’ll arrange it well, don’t worry," Ruth Wilcox said with a smile.

"There’s another thing," Yusuf Zuck looked at her and said, "Angel Investments is growing bigger, and I plan to transfer you over there to assist Marlon Shepherd."

"No way, I’m not going," Ruth Wilcox immediately refused, "I won’t go anywhere until the hotel’s performance improves, I don’t want to be a laughingstock. Besides, I’m just an employee, I haven’t been sold to you, why should I listen to you?"

"What about a part-time position?" Yusuf Zuck just laughed heartily, he had guessed that Ruth Wilcox wouldn’t agree, which is why he had previously told Marlon Shepherd to consider Ruth Wilcox for a part-time role at the investment company.

"Part-time doing what?" Ruth Wilcox asked, curious.

Yusuf Zuck thought for a moment, then seriously said, "It’s very likely that in a short time, the company will move to completely take over Wilcox’s Enterprises. At that time, we’ll need someone to negotiate on our behalf, and also, the investment company is planning a strategic shift later this year – a lot of money will be moved around. You and Marlon Shepherd will set the investment directions. I plan to have Angel Investments fully expand."

"Whew," Ruth Wilcox took a deep breath upon hearing Yusuf Zuck’s words. The news of Angel Investments taking over the Wilcox Family company was big, causing a stir in the industry, and her Clan had sent numerous pleas for help, but her heart had grown cold, so she just watched from the sidelines as an observer.

Furthermore, she knew that Angel Investments’ takeover of the Wilcox’s Enterprises was because Yusuf Zuck wanted to defend his own pride, and that moved her deeply. It showed that Yusuf Zuck cared about her very, very much.

"How much capital will you be investing next?" She did not ask about the Wilcox’s Enterprises, but instead inquired about the future capital operations of Angel Investments.

"No less than ten billion... US Dollars!" Yusuf Zuck thought for a moment before responding.

Ruth Wilcox raised an eyebrow, "That Angel... is that you?"

"How did you know?" Yusuf Zuck was taken aback; he hadn’t told anyone about that.

"Just guessed, had a feeling, because I know you well, so I guessed it was you. I agree to what you said, I’ll consult with Marlon Shepherd about the full takeover of Wilcox’s Enterprises!"

"But I’d like to have a chat with you, about that little nurse they talk about!" Ruth Wilcox suddenly said with a semi-smile.

Yusuf Zuck’s smiling face suddenly froze. How did Ruth Wilcox know about Paisley Kirk’s nickname, "the little nurse"?
