At noon, the speedboat Charlie and Joseph were on had arrived in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
In order not to delay, Charlie took the Concorde directly from Beirut back to the United States.
And Joseph also returned to the headquarters in Syria after Charlie’s plane took off.
The Mighty Warriors Den did not know that they had permanently lost their base in Cyprus.
A few hours later, Charlie returned to Providence, to his wife’s side.
Claire only thought that her husband had finished reading feng shui for another client,
But she did not know that he had spent the past few days bouncing around Northern Europe,
Syria, Lebanon, and Cyprus in order to fight the most mysterious and powerful organization in the world.
After returning to Providence, it coincided with the end of Claire’s master class at the Rhode Island School of Design.
The Rhode Island School of Design had prepared a special ceremony for the master class,
And Claire had shared it with Charlie two days in advance,
Asking him to accompany her to the ceremony.
Charlie naturally did not refuse, his wife, after all,
Had studied hard in the master class for more than a month and was looking at graduation,
So he must accompany her and attend the closing ceremony together,
Which would also be considered a successful conclusion to this tour in the United States.
The closing ceremony was scheduled for Friday night,
And Claire was already returning to her home,
So she wanted to check out of the room early Saturday morning and embark on the return journey.
He did not hesitate to agree to this,
And had the Wade family’s Concorde ready to take off from New York early Saturday morning.
The main reason for taking off from New York is that Charlie still has to go to the hospital of the Fei family,
To pick up his mother-in-law who is recovering in the hospital.
In addition, Auntie Li and Xiaofen, and Claudia had asked him,
That they would return to China together with the couple after Claire’s studies were over.
Auntie Li and Xiaofen will help him to the large orphanage he invested in after they go back.
As for Claudia, who already has no relatives,
Charlie also promised her that he would find a way to arrange for her to study at the University,
So that she can put down roots in his city in the future.
There are many direct flights from Vancouver, Canada to New York, USA,
And Charlie intends to return home from New York, so he can meet the three of them in New York first.
The time soon arrived on Friday.
Claire finished all the classes at noon and returned to the hotel.
Once she entered the room, she couldn’t hide her excitement and said to Charlie,
“Honey, our classes are all over!”
Charlie smiled and asked her, “How do you feel after the whole master class?”
“Very good!” Claire could not help but sigh:
“The heritage of the top design schools, as well as the thinking of the top design masters,”
“It is difficult for a small designer like me to learn to understand on their own,”
“It is like those who study classical music, you have to go to the top classical music schools like Curtis,”
“Juilliard, in order to realize how big the gap between self and the world’s top.”
Saying that she with a self-deprecating smile said seriously:
“In fact, I feel, I am such a small student, suddenly came to this kind of top hall,”
“Not at all like to learn something, but more like a pilgrimage.”
Charlie smiled gently and encouraged: “Do not think so,”
“I have always felt that you have the talent to become a world-class designer,”
“You are still young, and have not yet ushered in the thick and thin time,”
“The masters of various industries are generally in the age of 40 or 50 years old before they start to make a fortune,”
“You are still so young, must not look down on yourself,”
“Maybe when you are forty years old,”
“You will be able to become the world’s top female designers,”
“At that time, I will really lie flat at home to eat with the earnings of my wife.”
Claire couldn’t help but laugh out loud and said shyly,
“I’m afraid that before I become a world-class design master,”
“You’ll already be a world-class feng shui master.”
Charlie laughed: “If Bill Gates asks me to read feng shui, then I really have to think about it.”
Claire curiously asked: “Why honey,”
“Bill Gates asks you to read feng shui and you have to consider?”
Charlie laughed: “Who came all the way to the United States to serve him ah,”
“If he buys a villa back in China, maybe I still consider seeing it.”
Claire couldn’t help but laugh out loud and said,
“You, you said you were fat and you’re really panting!”
After saying that, she remembered her mother, and asked her:
“By the way husband, how is mom doing in New York in the end,”
“These days I make video calls, she always does not answer,”
“Must be converted to voice before willing to talk to me a few words,”
“I always think she is not hiding something from me.”
Charlie thought: “Of course, she has something to hide from you,”
“You certainly can not imagine, she broke her leg again,”
“Right now this Bedford Hills ghost is in the hospital in New York to recuperate,”
“If you video call her, will it not leak the stuffing?”
However, Charlie smiled and comforted:
“You, do not think too much, Mom’s style of action you do not know,”
“We are the two ordinary people, simply can not figure her out,”
“Anyway, tomorrow we will return to the country, she certainly will not stay alone in the United States.”
Claire nodded and asked, “By the way, husband, have you fixed the tickets?”
Charlie shook his head and said, “No need to book air tickets,”
“Miss Fei just happens to have a plane to return to China,”
“So she can take us back by the way.”
Claire was surprised and asked, “Miss Fei?”
“Is it the Fei family’s Miss Stella Fei?”
“Right.” Charlie nodded: “Yes, it is her,”
“Some time ago that ba5tard of their family Randal Fei really brought a big trouble for them,”
“I went to help her change the feng shui, so that the Fei family could survive the crisis,”
“Miss Fei has been very grateful,”
“She knows that we will soon return to the country,”
“So she took the initiative to let us take her plane on our way back.”
Because there were more people going back together this time,
So Charlie did not intend to take so many people to take an ordinary civilian airliner.
However, his own Concorde is really eye-catching,
Not only have to explain it to Claire. But the mother-in-law’s love to show off is also a big problem,
Sitting in a Gulfstream she cannot stop posting online statuses.
If they take the Concorde, it is estimated that she will do it for a week.
So think about it, Charlie plans to let Stella randomly arrange a plane,
He is that close to her, about this small matter, he is not embarrassed to ask.
When Claire heard that Charlie was going to take Stella’s plane back,
Her expression was a bit complicated for a while.
When she first met Stella, Stella was still using her other identity named.
It was only when Claire saw Stella on TV that she realized that the person,
She thought her “best friend” hadn’t even told her, her true identity.
However, Claire was not angry, after all, she also knew that Stella’s status was unattainable,
And she, as a small entrepreneur from an ordinary family, was a hundred thousand miles away from her,
So it was rare that she could use another identity to make friends with herself,
Not to mention that she also helped her to get a valuable master class slot.
The only thing that she is not happy about is the fact that Stella has suddenly evaporated,
Without leaving any clues from the friend she had been talking to.
Claire’s friends are not many, and after you make heartfelt friends,
No one expects the other party to evaporate without any clue,
And you later find that even the identity is false, which makes her heart, more or less, have some blow.
Thinking of this, she could not help but ask: “Okay husband, Miss Fei will return to the country with us?”
Charlie shook his head: “She shouldn’t, what’s wrong?”
Claire sighed lightly and sighed:
“It’s okay, friends are friends after all, as long as everything goes well for her, it’s good.”
Charlie could see that in Claire’s heart, she still treated Stella as a friend.
Only, on the basis of the huge gap between the social status of the two,
So that her own heart is also a little beaten back.
In this regard, Charlie understood very well in his heart.
Moreover, for him, he did not really want his wife to get too close to Stella.
On the one hand, Stella already knows his identity,
If the two of them get too close, it is likely to reveal his identity clues.
On the other hand, Stella is too smart, in contrast, Claire in front of her,
Is like a schoolboy facing a graduate student, one is too smart, one is too naive,
Such two people if they really become friends,
Both sides in order to compromise with each other must be very tired.
So, the two people just keeping the current state, in Charlie’s opinion is the best.
So, he digressed and asked Claire,
“Honey, what time is the closing ceremony starting in the evening?”
Claire said, “The ceremony is from 5:00 to 5:30 pm to start signing in,”
“And it officially starts at 6:00 pm.”
Charlie nodded and said, “Then let’s collect our luggage in the afternoon,”
“And we can drive to New York in the morning.”
“Yes!” Claire happily agreed and said with some joy,
“I’ve been out for so long, I’m really homesick!”
“Dad finished his exchange a few days ago and went back from Korea,”
“So I don’t know how he’s doing at home alone these days,”
“He can’t cook either, so eating alone is a problem.”
Charlie laughed: “Eating is a small matter, these days there is cell phone,”
“Where one can not be hungry, and Mom is not at home,”
“Dad you may not know how happy he is living alone,”
“So he may also look forward to us going back later,”
“For middle-aged married men can live alone at home for a few days,”
“It is more comfortable than being the President of the United States for a few days.”
Claire could not help but sigh: “You see when we first came to the United States,”
“Dad also went to Korea for exchange, mom was alone at home,”
“According to what you just said, she must have been very comfortable at home alone,”
“But she still missed us, so she came all the way to the United States to see us.”
Charlie was a bit dumbfounded and thought to himself,
“She has us in her heart? Good wife, you do not know your own mother well enough,”
“The reason why your mother came to the United States,”
“The reality is, in order to let her come to accompany you, I designed a small scheme,”
“Let her spend all the money, but where she has a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand in her hand,”
“Fix a golden chair to invite her, she would not come to the United States.”
However, naturally, Charlie could not tell the truth,
So he said with a smile, “You are right, wife, mom is more sentimental.”
Claire laughed and said, “We will leave tomorrow morning,”
“We will be home in ten hours or so,”
“By then Dad’s these good days are I am afraid going to come to an end.”
While Claire was packing her luggage,
Charlie went to the terrace of the presidential suite and made a phone call to Auntie Li in Canada.
Just after the phone was connected,
Auntie Li called out respectfully on the other end of the line, “Young master!”
Charlie wanted to persuade Auntie Li not to address him like that,
But after thinking about it, he finally gave up the idea.
He knew that even if he asked Auntie Li not to call him Young Master,
It would not change the fact that in Auntie Li’s heart,
He was the young master of the Wade family.
Plus, she always felt that it was the Wade family that saved her life and arranged for her to retire in Canada,
And in her mind, she felt that she was a servant of the Wade family.
In front of people who did not know Charlie’s identity,
She would call him by his name against her heart,
But when there were no outsiders, she wanted to call him young master from the bottom of her heart.
So, Charlie also stopped pointing out this matter,
But said with a smile, “Auntie Li, Claire’s course here has ended today,”
“We plan to return to Aurous Hill tomorrow, you and XiaoFen,”
“Along with Claudia should simply prepare, come to New York tomorrow to meet up with us.”
When Auntie Li heard this, she couldn’t help but say happily,
“That’s great Young Master, all this time,”
“Fanny has been talking to me about returning to Aurous Hill,”
“And I’ve been thinking about the large orphanage you mentioned, and I’ve been longing to return.”
Charlie laughed, “That’s great, I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to leave the Canadian environment.”
Auntie Li said very seriously: “Young master, to be honest,”
“When people get older, nowhere is as good as home,”
“Not to mention that I can still shine for those children after I go back, so I can’t wait.”
“That’s good.” Charlie also breathed a sigh of relief and asked,
“By the way Auntie Li, how are Fanny and Claudia doing lately?”
Auntie Li returned: “They both still go to the supermarket every day to work,”
“After the last incident, the two had a better relationship, like sisters.”
Charlie asked, “Regarding the matter of going to Aurous Hill,”
“Did Claudia show reluctance or have any worries before?”
Auntie Li thought about it and said, “Since you left,”
“Claudia seems to be more optimistic and cheerful,”
“And she is still looking forward to going to Aurous Hill to start a new life.
Saying that Aunt Li added: “However, the only thing she may not be able to rest assured,”
“Is the mausoleum of her parents and brother, Fanny promised her that in the future,”
“Every year during the summer vacation, she will accompany her back to pay respect to her parents,”
“And she has nothing to worry about it anymore.”
“That’s great.” Hearing this, Charlie also slightly put down his heart.
Although he did not have much contact with Claudia,
But this girl’s experience really made him very sympathetic,
Especially the family died at the hands of relatives,
And eighteen-year-old her, but bear the humiliation, a fake scar on the face to show people,
With this mind and patience, the ordinary eighteen-year-old girl could not just cope.
It is a good thing that she helped Claudia to kill her enemy,
Otherwise, it would be difficult for this girl to live a normal life.
If she hadn’t discovered that they were plotting against Xiaofen and alerted him,
He wouldn’t have been able to save Xiaofen, let alone help her complete her revenge.
While feeling emotional, Charlie smiled and said to Auntie Li:
“Auntie Li, after going back this time, the house and the supermarket face in Canada can also continue to keep,”
“In the future, if you are really tired and want to retire, you can also come back to Canada;”
“In addition, I have arranged for Richard Chen to prepare a decent villa for you, Fanny, and Claudia in Aurous Hill,”
“So you can keep this villa for your retirement in Aurous Hill,”
“And if Fanny and Claudia get married in the future, it will be the maiden home of the two girls.”
Auntie Li hurriedly said, “No, young master,”
“You and the Wade family have already given me too many favors,”
“How can I still want your villa, you just need to leave a room for us in the orphanage ……”
Charlie said seriously: “Auntie Li, the time has changed,”
“Today’s Charlie is no longer the same Charlie who works three jobs every day,”
“And earns money for books and milk powder for his siblings in the orphanage.”
“If you discount it, it’s not as good as a box of lunch money when I work part-time, so you don’t have to push it.”
He continued: “You have taken care of me for so many years,”
“You are my benefactor, and now you have to return to work for me in Aurous Hill,”
“If I don’t give you a proper settlement in Aurous Hill, others will also have words for me.”
Auntie Li sighed and said from the bottom of her heart,
“Young master, in fact, for so many years,”
“I just did my own share of work, never dare to take the word benefactor ……”
Charlie firmly said, “Auntie Li, in my heart, you are my benefactor.”
Saying that he does not want to continue to dwell too much on this issue,
So he digressed and said, “Okay Auntie, you let Fanny and Claudia start packing,”
“Whatever you need or want to bring, feel free to bring,”
“I have arranged for Orvel to fly to Vancouver early tomorrow morning,”
“Let him bring someone to pick you up from home.”
Auntie Li said, “Young master, no need to take so much trouble,”
“The three of us can just go to the airport by ourselves.”
Charlie insisted: “Auntie, the journey and other things, all matters Orvel will take care of,”
“You do not have to worry about anything, we will meet directly at the airport in New York tomorrow,”
“You and the girls will take the plane and we will return to Aurous Hill together,”
“When the plane lands in New York, we will board the plane to meet you,”
“You do not have to get off the plane to toss the connecting flight.”
Hearing Charlie’s firm tone, Auntie Li had to agree and respectfully said,
“Then it will be hard for you to arrange it, Young Master.”
“It’s not hard work.” Charlie smiled faintly and spoke,
“Auntie Li, then let’s see you tomorrow!”
……
Five o’clock in the afternoon.
Charlie, who had changed into a suit, and Claire, who was wearing a long white evening dress,
Arrived at the Rhode Island School of Design together.
This is the summer vacation time for American college students,
So on the large campus, can not see young students,
But there are many faculty and staff shuttles,
And there are even many media reporters in the field of design of well-known designers.
The Rhode Island School of Design attaches great importance to the master class every year,
So the school’s auditorium was especially used to hold the closing ceremony for the master class.
When Charlie and Claire arrived at the auditorium, the auditorium was already full of people.
Many designers who attended the master class had invited their friends and relatives,
And even their bosses, mentors, and partners in the design field to support the closing ceremony today.
The closing ceremony is actually an opportunity for industry elites,
To show their status and make friends with powerful people in the industry.
In contrast, Claire, who is only accompanied by her husband,
And has little background in the industry, and looks a bit out of place here.
When signing in, Claire found an inconspicuous corner on the large sign-in board and wrote down her name.
Just handed the signing pen to the etiquette lady,
Next to an oriental-faced woman who came in stride,
She wrote a huge string of signatures next to Claire’s signature: Emily Wang.
Emily Wang, it seems that it should be Chinese.
The only, that made Charlie a little upset was that she signed her name extra large when she signed,
And that last letter G also threw an exaggerated arc, even drawing a bit on Claire’s already signed name.
Claire saw her signature being drawn on by the other party,
Slightly stunned, but did not say anything, while Emily Wang, at this time,
Looked at Claire with a surprised face and said with a smile,
“Hey Claire, I just did not see you, when did you come?”
Claire smiled and said politely, “I just arrived.”
Emily nodded and said with a smile,
“I have become a senior partner of AECOM Construction Company,”
“And our boss is also here today, I will introduce you to him later,”
“You can have a good chat with him, maybe you will have a chance to join AECOM too!”
Claire smiled faintly and said, “Thank you, Emily,”
“But I don’t plan to find a job, I’m thinking of returning to China after finishing school.”
Emily said with a serious face: “Going back to continue to run your small decoration company?”
“To be a designer is to join the world’s best design companies,”
“Become a senior partner, and then take the Fortune 500 companies,”
“Even the Olympic Games, and World Cup full project design, this is the meaning of our master class!”
Saying that she saw a few people walking not far away,
And said in a rush of surprise, “My boss is here! Let me introduce you to him!”
Claire did not intend to exchange too many pleasantries with Emily,
So she hurriedly said to her,
“Emily, I’m not very good at socializing, so I won’t bother your boss.”
Saying that she then said to Charlie,
“Husband, why don’t we go in first.”
When Emily heard Claire call Charlie her husband,”
“She looked at Charlie with a surprised face and asked,
“You’re Claire’s husband, huh?”
Charlie nodded slightly: “Yes, I am.”
Emily looked Charlie up and down twice and laughed:
“Claire said you specialize in reading feng shui for people,”
“Do people still believe in such deceitful things?”
Charlie frowned slightly and spoke,
“Many things are believed or not believed, just like religious gods,”
“No one has ever seen a God, but it doesn’t stop believers from believing in his existence.”
Emily laughed: “God and feng shui is not the same thing,”
“God is faith, in other words, it is a crystallization of wisdom,”
“As for feng shui, it is just some charlatans to woo the feudal superstition.”
Charlie waved his hand and laughed lightly:
“The real theory of feng shui is from the eight trigrams of the I Ching,”
“And the I Ching was written in the Western Zhou Dynasty, more than three thousand years ago,”
“Its history is longer than the world’s three major religions,”
“So the next time Miss Wang you review a matter,”
“It is best to figure it out before you speak, lest you make a fool of yourself.”
Emily did not expect that Charlie opened a mockery of herself,
Her face was a little embarrassed, but, what Charlie said about the I Ching,
She had only heard of it, but never understood it in depth,
So she did not know how to refute it after being mocked by him like this.
So she simply shrugged her shoulders and coldly hummed, asking him,
“You know so much, why don’t you show me the feng shui here,”
“And also let me personally experience whether the feng shui secret art you say is reliable or not.”
Charlie did not want to pay attention to her,
But after looking her up and down, he could not help but laugh:
“This look does not matter, Miss Wang’s career luck seems to have a big problem.”
“Career luck?” Emily was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said,
“You said my career luck has gone very wrong?”
“Right,” Charlie said with certainty:
“There is indeed a big problem if I’m not wrong,”
“Your career will soon suffer an extinguishing blow,”
“And all the roots you have worked so hard for before, may all go up in smoke.”
Emily laughed shamefully: “What are you kidding me,”
“If you say I may have other problems, I might still believe you a thousand percent,”
“But you saying my career to suffer a blow, this is simply a joke!”
Emily said with an arrogant face: “AECOM, AECOM, you may not know much about this company,”
“This is the world’s top design group, among the listed companies, with a market value of more than 10 billion dollars!”
“There are only a few dozen people in the world who can be a senior partner in such a company,”
“And I happen to be one of these few dozen people, and I’m the youngest one among the few dozens!”
“Moreover, to become a senior partner, the annual income before tax is more than five million dollars,”
“And the top partners can even achieve a year of more than a hundred million dollars!”
Speaking of this, she looked at Charlie with a sneer on her face and laughed shamefully,
“I just became a senior partner today, and my future is bright,”
“So who are you to say that my career is going to suffer a crushing blow?”
“Is it just based on my face? What a joke!”
Charlie was disliked by her though he was angry, staying very patient he said:
“You are indeed red today, there is a great joy, but your brow hostility is too heavy,”
“Which proves that you are not good-natured, plus your eyes are large,”
“But slightly prominent, eyes do not hide nature, from this can be seen,”
“You are narrow-minded, have a hidden evil in the heart, and your lips are very thin,”
“You talk sharp-eyed mouth, this is Typical thin lips tip,”
“Proving that you are usually sarcastic, good at causing trouble,”
“Which are easy to get into trouble characteristics.”
Emily sneered, “Yo, you feng shui reader, you start to engage in personal attacks now?”
“What’s wrong with my big eyes and thin lips?”
“This is easy to cause trouble? Then why don’t you say I’m pretty and tall and have a good figure?”
Charlie laughed: “I was just going to say, your eyes up, mouth shape down,”
“Lying silkworms containing mole, this is the standard charming phase,”
“Saying you were born charming bones is not too much,”
“And you have a great joy of the momentum,”
“And your natural charming bones have a necessary connection,”
“To put it bluntly a day, you can have career luck, your looks and body have helped a lot.”
Emily heard this, suddenly became a little less natural, stammered, and said:
“You …… you do not bullsh!t here I tell you,”
“I can be here today, it is a step-by-step struggle! Never rely on looks and body.”
Charlie bristled: “From the face, every rise in your life, is inseparable from the body,”
“But this kind of thing you listen to, accurate or not, you have a number in your heart on the line.”
Emily immediately angrily sneered: “I say you do not go for a personal attack,”
“Believe it or not I can have a lawyer sue you?”
After saying that, she herself snorted coldly and said with contempt:
“Besides, what’s the use of you talking a bunch of nonsense here?”
“I am lucky today, a step to the sky, where is the extinguishing blow you said?”
Charlie was about to speak, a middle-aged male came to the front,
Smiling said to Emily, “Emily, what friend you are chatting with so opportunistically.”
Emily looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile,
“Chairman, you’ve come over so early!”
The middle-aged man laughed and said,
“I definitely had to come over early to support your closing ceremony.”
Saying that he looked at Claire with interest and asked her,
“Emily, you still haven’t introduced me to this beauty?”
Emily hurriedly said, “Chairman, this is the master class classmate I often told you about, Claire Willson.”
After saying that, she hurriedly said to Claire again,
“Claire, this is our boss, Matthew Peterson.”
Claire just nodded to Matthew and did not say anything.
Matthew, however, seemed to be somewhat amazed by Claire,
And hurriedly took out a business card, handed it to her, and said seriously,
“Ms. Willson, we are actively absorbing some young blood recently,”
“And a young and talented designer like you is the most urgent partner at present.”
“I can give you a partner status with an annual salary starting from at least one million dollars!”
Claire shook her head and said lightly,
“Sorry Mr. Peterson, I have my own company, which is small,”
“But in my opinion, it is much more comfortable than going to work for any company.”
Matthew Peterson’s expression was a little disappointed,
But he quickly adjusted again and said with a smile,
“Never mind, we are also looking for some potential start-up design companies around the world at the same time,”
“If Ms. Willson wants to cooperate with us or take our investment, we can have an in-depth chat.”
Charlie could see that this Matthew Peterson was not harboring good intentions,
So he said lightly, “Sorry, my wife doesn’t need investment from anyone but me.”
Matthew frowned at Charlie and opened his mouth to ask Emily,
“This gentleman is?”
Emily hurriedly smiled and explained,
“Boss, this is Claire’s husband, he is a very powerful feng shui master,”
“He just read my face and said that my business will suffer an extinction blow,”
“It happens that you are my boss, please help me to confirm,”
“Whether my business is going to soar upward or fall downward today.”
Charlie smiled and said seriously, “I just said that you do have great joy today,”
“Although you have a bad face, after all, you were born with charming bones,”
“As long as there is a man with strong enough ability to be attracted to your charming bones,”
“His ability will be able to help you to suppress the defects in your face.”
Matthew laughed and spoke, “Of course, it’s upward soaring!”
After that, he looked at Charlie and said with a smile,
“Sir, today Emily was promoted to senior partner,”
“Her salary has doubled several times, moreover,”
“I am her boss, when I say let her go up,”
“She will definitely go up, I wonder how you judge that her career will meet its end?”
