Winner Takes All

Leaving DT real estate agency, Jack went to a nearby domestic helper firm by car.

"Good day sir, how can I help you?" A middle-aged man in his forties welcomed him.

Jack said, "I want to hire a carer."

Because of Katherine's stimulus, the doctor had warned that Jack's mother cannot be stimulated anymore, or else her condition will get even worse.

He was currently busy with the West Shantytowns renovations and couldn't accompany his mother twenty-four hours a day.

Finding a carer to take care of his mother was the best choice undoubtedly.

"Then sir you've come to the right place. Our company is professional. Now please, be seated."

The middle-aged man invited him to have a seat. After pouring tea, he asked, "Are there help any requirements for your carer that you wish to hire, sir?"

Jack sipped his tea and said, "I want a fighter!"

"A fighter?"

The middle-aged man spat out his tea when he heard Jack's requirement. Being strange and confused, he looked at Jack and asked, "Ahem... Sir, your requirement..."

Was he looking for a carer or a hitman?

"As long as he's able to fight," said Jack.

He has been married to Katherine for three years, he knew the Parry family too well.

The main purpose of a carer was to avoid his mother being stimulated.

The weak ones would not cut it.

"Alright then, I'll start sifting through the possible candidates for you, sir." The middle-aged man suppressed his doubts and professionally turned on his computer.

He was sifting through the list of available carers while asking, "Are there any more requirements, sir? What is the carer's salary range?"

"It doesn't matter as long as he can fight and take care of my mother," Jack said casually.

His mother was his everything. As long as he could protect her, money was not a problem.

Furthermore, he was not short of money.

The middle-aged man looked confused.

He had been doing this business for nearly twenty years, but this was the first time he had heard such a strange request.

After screening for nearly half an hour, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up.

"Sir, please have a look. Is this one suitable?"

He showed his screen to Jack.

Jack inspected closely.

On the computer screen was a detailed resume with a photo.

The girl wasn't too old, just twenty-eight years old. She looked quite pretty, and her smile was sweet.

However, none of these mattered.

The important thing was that the girl was 4250px tall, and she was a former state-level kickboxer.

"She's the one!" Jack was sure about it.

The middle-aged man said, "Good choice, sir, but she expected eight thousand Yuan."

Compared with other available carers, a salary of eight thousand Yuan was indeed high.

Besides, this girl was quite young, her housekeeping skills would be not sufficient. That's why her resume was placed at the bottom.

The middle-aged man had urged her several times to lower her salary, but for some reason, the girl just refused.

"Ten thousand Yuan!" Jack held up one finger, "But she must accompany my mother twenty-four hours a day." "Good! I'll contact her right away."

The middle-aged man was delighted as he finally sent out the resume on the bottom pile. It gave him a sense of a stock clearance.

After finishing the procedures and leaving Jack's contact, Jack went back to DT real estate agency.

Jack just sat down when Corbin Koch ran into the office and said anxiously, "Jack, there's some situation at the West Shantytowns." "What happened?" Jack frowned.

Jack joined the company a month earlier than Corbin. But they were promoted at different speed due to their abilities.

But Corbin was very dependable, Jack knew that. That's why he had let Corbin to assist him since he got promoted as deputy general manager.

As for the West Shantytowns renovation project, Corbin was one of the people-in-charge.

Corbin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I just came back from the West Shantytowns and for some reason, those being relocated are having an uproar. They said their compensations were too low, and now they were refusing to relocate."

Jack frowned and said, "West Shantytowns renovation project is a municipal project and the relocation compensations are by the standard. Actually, no, the compensations were inflated by Ben Hall by thirty million Yuan.

"The compensations are more than the standard. Besides, the demolition team is already on standby, and everyone had signed the contract. Why is there a sudden uproar at this moment?"

"I don't know." Corbin helplessly said, "After the news of YK Group settling in, the prices in West Shantytowns has been surging.

"Before that, I was even worried about those being relocated unsatisfied with the compensations, so I did some research on behalf of their will. But our compensations were above the standard, so none of them should have any complaints."

"I even had a game of chess with one of the locals in that area yesterday."

Corbin said more aggrievedly, "But just now I saw that local, he was like a completely different person. He even kicked my ass."

"Now that's interesting."Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Jack narrowed his eyes and laughed, "Such a big change in attitude overnight, there must be someone behind this."

Just within three years, he got promoted from a staff at the ground level to the company's deputy general manager. That has proved his ability.

Besides, during these three years, he had been Ben's scapegoat several times. But, because of this, he had gotten close with Ben, allowing him to experience some of the abnormal cases that he normally wouldn't face.

He had experienced similar cases before.

"Is there really someone behind this, Jack?" Corbin asked confusedly.

"How else would you have your ass kicked if there wasn't anyone behind this?" Jack jokingly said, but became serious and said, "Ignore that area for now. I'll investigate."

"But Jack, that area that I'm handling is the most important part of the project. Do I really drop that area for now?" Corbin was getting anxious. Thanks to Jack, he was able to be in charge of that area, so he was extra serious when handling that area.

Jack was aware of how important West Shantytowns was. If that area could not be relocated, many projects had to be pending.

In the real estate industry, time is money!

"I'll be done by a day," Jack waved his hand while saying calmly.

As for Mr. Ward, it would be a piece of cake to investigate who was behind this. It would be impossible for YK Group to be number 1 in the real estate industry if Mr. Ward couldn't.

Jack was just about to call Mr. Ward when a call came through.

When the caller showed 'Ben Hall', Jack suddenly realized something.

As soon as he picked up the call, he heard Ben's laughing, "Ho-ho, many thanks for picking up my call, Mr. very-busy."

"You did it, didn't you?" Jack asked.

"What did I do?" Ben sounded startled and shocked, "Jack, my brother-in-law that works in another real estate company told me that something happened at West Shantytowns. You were my coworker after all. Can't I care about you?"

Jack laughed coldly, could he sound any more fake?

However, Ben Hall's sudden call meant that he needn't Mr. Ward's investigation.

Jack said coldly, "I'll give you one day to end this problem, or else, you'll be sorry."

"Are you fucking kidding me? You think I'm scared?" Ben screamed on top of his lungs. Jack snorted and hung up.
