Chapter 511: Chapter 510: Buying Furniture, Go to Xu’s

Today’s dinner event was a bit of a laughable affair, as Yusuf Zuck, the grand chairman of Tianyi Investment, actually managed to turn the event into a furniture sales pitch. There were already over a hundred employees present, and now all they talked about was furniture, furniture, and more furniture.

Ozzy Parham was constantly mingling, handing out one business card after another. With a simple-minded smile on his face, he was, in fact, keenly astute, knowing that after tonight’s banquet, his furniture store would be bustling tomorrow.

Moreover, through word of mouth and the chain reaction that would follow, his furniture store was bound to explode in popularity.

Around 7:05 PM, Miles O’Brien and Anna Cooke arrived, both women acting cautious as if they feared being noticed. They took advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention and then quietly seated themselves at two empty seats at a dining table.

This particular dining table already had six people seated, all employees of Tianyi Investment, but none of them said anything upon seeing the two women slinking over; after all, who could guess who Yusuf Zuck had invited today.

On the contrary, Isaac Quintana, Anais Dillon, as well as Pillar and Grey Petty swaggered in. On seeing Yusuf Zuck’s seat, they immediately gathered around it.

"You must be tired; go ahead and find a spot to sit down. I’ve got something to ask," Yusuf urged the four to sit at an adjacent dining table, then quietly asked, "Memphis, have you and Eve had your wedding yet?"

"Er... What’s up? You gonna give a cash gift? We haven’t had it yet," Anais Dillon’s eyes lit up, knowing that the boss’s gift wouldn’t be a small amount.

"Let’s not talk about the cash gift for now. If you two aren’t married yet, I recommend you visit Ozzy’s Home Furnishing for your furniture. Ozzy’s has been carrying on the tradition of pure handcrafted furniture for over a hundred years. Ozzy’s great-great-grandfather was a royal carpenter during the Qing Dynasty, and their furniture is top-notch. Here’s Ozzy’s business card, keep it safe," Yusuf said as he handed over the business card.

Anais Dillon just stood there dumbfounded; he was lost, thinking what on earth was happening? Had Yusuf gone mad?

Pillar and Grey Petty also looked perplexed, and Isaac Quintana was no less bewildered.

"And you three, if you plan on settling down in the capital, make sure to buy your furniture from this store, too. It’s my brother’s place, guaranteed quality and fair pricing!"

"Boss, which brother of yours owns it? We didn’t know you had one," Pillar said, somewhat flabbergasted.

"Ozzy, Ozzy Parham, my childhood friend!" said Yusuf.

"Yeah, I know him, the furniture store owner you introduced to Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei used to do deliveries for them!" exclaimed Pillar, slapping his thigh.

"Right, him. He’s now running a furniture store in the capital, mortgaged everything, even his pants. Seeing him so wretched, I became a temporary salesman to help him sell some furniture!"

"We’ll buy, definitely buy!" Pillar said without hesitation, ready to make a purchase. They all owned property in the capital that was yet to be decorated; they needed to buy beds and such, so it was decided.

"Haha, that’s the spirit!" Yusuf laughed heartily.

"He’s gone crazy. He probably made tens of millions just from the furniture sold tonight," Fleur Carson said with mixed emotions, "Go on, sell your furniture. There are still two people who don’t know yet!" Fleur pointed at Miles O’Brien and Anna Cooke, who were hiding at a dining table.

"All right, I’ll get going. One last sale before we kick off the banquet." Yusuf had already known that Miles O’Brien and Anna Cooke were present but was too busy selling furniture to give them attention.

Yusuf stood up, and many company employees watched him.

Some also stood up to greet or introduce themselves, and Yusuf responded to each of them before patting their shoulders, "Buy furniture, go to Ozzy’s!"

"Got it, I’ll go tomorrow..." all the employees said, half laughing, half crying. They wondered if their chairman owned the furniture store himself.

Yusuf walked over to the dining table where Miles O’Brien and Anna Cooke were seated. The six employees at the table, all women, had stood up, and one of them was actually the receptionist he had met that morning.

"Chairman Yusuf..." the six women called out in unison.

Yusuf opened his mouth, "Buy furniture..."

"At Ozzy’s!" Before he could finish, the six girls burst into giggles, completing his sentence for him!

"Promising future!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily before pulling up a chair to sit down.

"What’s up with you? As soon as we came in, all we heard was furniture talk," said Miles O’Brien with a puzzled look on her face.

"I forgot about Ozzy coming to Beijing for half a year, so I have to make it up to him!" Yusuf and Miles chatted a lot, and sometimes, after a couple hundred rounds in bed, Miles would insist on talking about the past. So, she knew about Ozzy and she knew about Luciano.

"Ah, he’s here? And you forgot about him? No contact for half a year?" Miles was shocked.

"Exactly, so tonight I’m selling furniture to everyone I see and don’t care what the employees think of me," Yusuf said with a wry face.

"Oh, I’ll go check out his furniture store tomorrow. If there’s any way we can help, we should," Miles nodded.

"Hey beauty, long time no see, how are you?" Yusuf then remembered to greet Anna Cooke.

"Busy man like you, Mr. Zhang, remembering to invite us out for a meal," Anna said in an indifferent tone.

"Cough, cough, why don’t you two come sit with me over there? Why sit here?" Yusuf didn’t want to continue the conversation with Anna, feeling that she seemed rather like a bitter woman.

"No, it’s nice here. Go on with your business, we’re just going to eat and then head home," Miles smiled and said, "Go on."

"Alright, stay seated then, but I’ve bought you a new car. You can pick it up on the 25th; here’s the deposit receipt. Keep it for now," Yusuf handed the deposit receipt to Miles.

"Okay, go on. Ms. Wilcox is here; don’t let her come over," said Miles, snatching the receipt quickly and then pushing Yusuf gently, looking very nervous.

Ruth Wilcox, along with Paisley Kirk, was indeed walking their way.

Yusuf immediately got up to meet them. If Miles didn’t want to meet Ruth, then she wouldn’t—meeting her would be awkward.

"Yusuf, it’s your turn to speak. After that, the dishes will be served," Ruth said without looking at Miles, seemingly not noticing her at all, whispering to Yusuf to go speak.

"Okay, let’s go," Yusuf nodded and strode forward.

Ruth followed him, without ever looking in the direction of Miles throughout.

However, Paisley Kirk happily ran over to chat with Miles and Anna.

At that moment, the six female employees sitting at Miles’s table were all confused; Director Zhang bought this woman a new car? And the relationship between the two of them seemed pretty close too.

When Yusuf reached the podium of the dining hall, the place instantly quieted down, and all whispering people turned their eyes toward him.

Devin King was smiling cheerfully, Ozzy was filled with emotions, Ms. Wilcox stood at the entrance of the restaurant with arms crossed and a smile, and Marlon Shepherd was softly speaking with a few executives nearby.

"Today, I called everyone here to dine, not to listen to me preaching or complaining. So I’ll just say one thing—thank you all. Without you, the foundation of Tianyi Investment wouldn’t be so solid. In the future, I will often organize meals for everyone. Don’t be shy, because we are not just colleagues, but will also be friends in the future. That’s all from me, thank you."

"Oh, and one more thing, for furniture, go to Xu’s..."

"Haha..." The final remark made everyone laugh, and Yusuf put his hands together and bowed repeatedly.

In this manner, not only did he lighten up the atmosphere of the restaurant, but he also helped Ozzy, successfully carrying out a bit of marketing, which was the most he could do for Ozzy.

PS: Tomorrow will still have four updates; excitement is coming. I am preparing for battle, with a surge scheduled for the end of the month. Also, I only guarantee a minimum of three daily updates before the end-of-month surge, but if I’m in a good state, there might be four. So don’t complain, I’ve been sitting at the computer all day without moving much. Tomorrow there will still be four updates.
