Chapter 312 - New Year

Emily was very busy before and after the New Year because of tax evasion. In addition to that, 5 million was misappropriated by Beverly and all employees in the Britt Group were waiting for a chance to escape.

Maury had been traveling back and forth to the tax bureau these past few days, and that five million was the starting fund for the cooperation with Vincent. He hesitated, but still decided to call Vincent.

Rex answered it. He was not surprised when he heard what Maury said. He just said in a very official and polite way, "It's fine. I will let the finance department remit it later."

Maury suspected that he misheard and asked, "What did you say?"

"We won't stop the project. We'll fill the funds and you just need to pay us back in the future. This is what Mr. Vincent instructed. Do you have any other questions?"

Maury was stunned.

He never imagined that the other party would be so calm after losing five million for no reason. It was as if they just lost fifty instead of five million.

Because the Scavos had let go, Maury was much more comfortable dealing with the other transactions of the company. After all, the biggest difficulty had been resolved, so he heaved a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Emily also started her own plan.

In her previous life, the Britt Group went bankrupt, her father died in an accident, her eldest brother was seriously injured and hospitalized, and she was stabbed to death by Elsie. This series of events created butterfly effects, making her deeply understand one thing.

That was, the Britt Group must not collapse.

Especially now, Dad was the only one running the Britt Group.

She found an excuse, saying that it was too boring to stay at home. She wanted to go to the company with her father, so Maury happily took her there.

These days, she followed Maury and studied business in the company. She followed him in and out of all kinds of meetings and paid attention to the opinions expressed by the managers of different departments. The first time she attended a meeting, she could not understand the slides presented by the Marketing Department at all, but now, she had become familiar with every terminology. She spent a lot of effort on this and she even memorized the workflow of the Finance Department and the Administration Department.

She was not clever and memorizing all the professional knowledge about business by heart was her only way to learn. The only thing she would do every day was to persist, be it exercising for half an hour every morning or memorizing knowledge, so that she could grow and became knowledgeable.

She didn't have any spare time to draw, but she forced herself to draw three paintings. Ferne urged her to hand them in because some local tycoons had booked her paintings.

However, Emily had been too busy these days, and the three paintings that she had finished were for gifts.

She had Harold frame them and deliver them to the three old men on New Year's Day. She painted according to their respective views on art as New Year gifts for them. Although she hadn't seen them since returning from the Scavo's, Emily thought of them as respectable teachers and lovely elders.

As for Rolando, she bought a massage chair for him. After Harold returned from delivering the gift, he only said one sentence.

"Mr. Rolando doesn't want to get down from the chair."

It seemed that he was very satisfied.

Emily was still reading that night, and her phone vibrated. It was Stephanie.

"Are you done filming?"

"How could it be so fast? I'm enjoying the New Year." Stephanie took a deep breath and said, "It's so cold. I just arrived at my Grandpa's place. I'll eat dinner with him and then go back. I suddenly thought of you so I called. Happy New Year! I've prepared a red packet for you and I'll give it to you the next time we meet."

Emily laughed, "Happy New Year."

"Did you read my blog?" Stephanie smiled and said to the people beside her, "Take the things in, make it quiet." She probably bought something for Doctor Miracle again.

"No."

"Go take a look." Stephanie smiled and said, "I've arrived home. I'll talk to you later."

"Alright."

The latest post in Stephanie's blog was...

'Happy New Year, my fans, enclosed is a bookmark from my friend. It's beautiful. From now on, only I can use it! [JPG]'

On the picture, a long bookmark lay quietly on the title page of a book. A drop of rain fell on the window, forming a huge water droplet. The droplet reflected a human image. Only when one looked carefully could one see a beautiful face on its surface, and a mole was around that person's eye.

The resin-sealed bookmark enlarged the image in the droplet, making the bookmark even more exquisite.

After a batch of finished products was produced, Emily asked Harold to give them to Stephanie. She didn't even have the chance to look at the samples. Instead, she saw it on Stephanie's blog.

Many people commented, asking her where to buy such a bookmark.

She saw Harold's and Sydnee's name. They responded actively to the comments and sent contact information, followed by a message: "Customized for even one piece."

This message was followed by many comments and replies.

'I loved it! The owner and the receptionists are amazing! I will definitely place an order because I love their service!'

'Heavens! Did you guys take a closer look?! There's a picture of Stephanie in the bookmark! It's so beautiful! I want to buy it!'

'I saw it! I want the same one, too!'

'I think it will be annoying if we talk to the owner one after another. How about we do a group purchase?'

'How sweet you are!'

'Stephanie's assistant just asked us in the group chat about how many of us want it! Stephanie said she would buy it for us!'

'I love her!!!'

'Happy New Year, Stephanie! Take care! We love you!'

On the top of the blog, there was a line that read: "The world is beautiful, we all love you!" And there was another line below it: "If you have depression, please don't give up your life."

On the side was a line of contact information, and there was the way to join the group chat for fans, with a remark read: "We love each other."

Emily couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.

"What are you looking at?" A deep and bewitching voice came from the balcony.

Emily raised her head and looked over. Vincent closed the door and walked in elegantly. "Leave the door open for me?" There was a faint happiness in his voice.

"I thought you would be busy today." Emily took the initiative to hug him and said, "Happy New Year."

She combed her hair into a bun. She was very cute.

Vincent kissed her hair and said, "Happy New Year."

He was really busy today.

Every New Year, the clan would hold a New Year banquet. There were many different kinds of shows. Most of them were performed by young generation. According to the rules, everyone who performed on the stage would receive a reward. Before the banquet was over, a few children would be tested to see if they had the potential to be future patriarchs. There was a precedent in the Scavos. At that time, Rolando, who was only ten years old, stood out.. The old patriarch made an exception and nominated him as his successor, while his own descendants left with disappointment.
