Chapter 268: He’s a Big Bad Guy
Marlon Shepherd and Yusuf Zuck were chatting in the hotel when Marlon received a call from his girlfriend back home, Juliana Nash, who excitedly informed him over the phone that she had been promoted.
The promotion of Leila Brown had been anticipated by Marlon Shepherd; after all, she had managed to have Yusuf Zuck keep more than two billion in deposits at their bank, a business she had acquired, which was a significant achievement that could easily elevate her from a counter clerk to a customer manager or a higher position.
Indeed, it was a significant step up—Leila Brown informed Marlon Shepherd that she had become the assistant manager of their branch. Securing a major client with a one-time deposit of over twenty billion, so being an assistant branch manager really wasn’t a big deal; it just meant a pay raise and a slight adjustment in rank.
"Then I congratulate my dear Leila, I’m with the boss in Hong Kong right now, planning to return within three days. But I still say the same thing, quit your job, you should be enjoying life." Marlon Shepherd advised on the phone.
"Not a chance, life should be colorful and flavorful. I need to have my own career to make my life more fulfilling. But I warn you, don’t you dare get corrupted!"
"I won’t, the big boss is very strict about these things and doesn’t allow subordinates to have a bad style." While saying this, Marlon Shepherd glanced at Yusuf Zuck.
"Cut it out, as if his style isn’t bad. But I trust you. Mm-hmm, we’re getting married next month, and I want to hire a celebrity as the host. Can you ask Yusuf Zuck if he knows anyone? Help me find one then."
"Sure, I got it, I’ll arrange it." After finishing, Marlon Shepherd ended the call.
"A celebrity as the host, huh? I don’t know anyone either, but I’ll help you ask around. Worst comes to worst, we can just throw money at the problem, right?" Yusuf Zuck pulled out his phone and called Everest Zuck to ask about the wedding host.
"I can connect you with someone, but the price you’ll have to negotiate on your own. These days even the CCTV hosts are moonlighting for extra cash, because their salary and bonus wouldn’t cover their expenses."
