I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date-Chapter 17

The next afternoon, Yvette Quinn went to work while Xenia Lewis had her own matters to attend to. William Scott drove Yoel Quinn and Yvonne Shaw to the bus stop and had even prepared food for them for their journey.

This made Yoel Quinn and Yvonne Shaw even more satisfied. Even though it was just a small matter, it showed how meticulous William Scott was.

Given that their daughter only cared about her career, she was surely much less adept at other aspects of life. William Scott was so meticulous and good at cooking. With Yvette Quinn, he would definitely take good care of her. They would complement each other and he would definitely be the ideal son-in-law for them.

After sending the two of them off, William Scott returned home.

There were guests at home — William Scott’s eldest uncle, aunt, cousin, Bernard Scott, and his girlfriend, Lydia Connor.

In the past, William Scott’s impression of his family was that they were not close to his eldest uncle’s family. In the past, there were some unresolved conflicts. After being a soldier for so many years, it seemed that their relationship had eased up. Otherwise, his eldest uncle’s family would not have come as guests.

William Scott’s uncle chuckled and asked, “Time has really flown by. We haven’t seen William for six to seven years. I heard that you’ve been in the army all this while. What rank are you at?”

William Scott smiled and said, “I’m just an ordinary volunteer.”

William Scott did not want his family to know that he had done so many dangerous missions in the past. Hence, he only told his family that he was a volunteer. It was only because Yoel Quinn was an officer that he revealed his identity as a soldier.

His uncle said, “Volunteer soldiers aren’t bad either. The treatment in the army is very good now. You can get a lot of money from this transfer.”

These words were said very casually. However, when he said those words, he looked at his son Bernard Scott with a proud gaze. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

William Scott immediately understood that his uncle had found a sense of superiority. He didn’t fuss over it and just smiled. “It’s alright.”

At this moment, his aunt interrupted, “I heard that you haven’t found a job yet and your mother is already anxious to find a girlfriend for you. I think you should find a job first. With a job and a stable income, it wouldn’t be too late to find a girlfriend. Otherwise, if someone asks where you work and you say you have no job, which girl would like you?”

......

Without waiting for William Scott to speak, his aunt immediately continued, “Look at your cousin Bernard. Through his own hard work, he is now the department head of a company. His annual salary is already 200,000 yuan. Once this job is done, the people he interacts with will be different. Your cousin-in-law, Lydia Connor, is the deputy head of the planning department of Lin Feng Corporation. Her annual salary is 300,000 yuan.”

When it came to her son and daughter-in-law, she was even more proud.

Janna Sands said in surprise at this point, “So Lydia works at Lin Feng Corporation.”

His aunt was a little surprised. “Janna, you know about Lin Feng Corporation too?”

“I know. Lin Feng Corporation’s CEO, Yvette Quinn, has been appearing on television and on the Internet for the past year. She’s really an amazing career woman. Lin Feng Corporation was a small company that suffered losses two years ago, but in just two years, she managed to turn a small company into a large company with over a hundred million yuan in assets. Lydia definitely has a bright future working there.”

William Scott looked at his mother in confusion. His mother was someone who couldn’t stand this sort of subtle bragging. How could she be so cooperative? This wasn’t his mother’s style.

However, on second thought, perhaps as his mother grew older, she was no longer as sharp as before. Furthermore, they were such close relatives. It was better for them to be polite and not be too calculative.

His aunt looked at William Scott again and said, “That’s why… I told William to find a job as soon as possible so that he can find a girlfriend. Then, as his position rises, he’ll be able to find a different type of girlfriend. Just like Bernard. What kind of girlfriend did he have in the past? Look at the current Lydia. There’s no comparison at all.”

William Scott chuckled. “Yes, yes. I’ve been looking for a job recently. It’s not that difficult for me to find a job.”

At this moment, Lydia Connor smiled and said, “Our company is currently recruiting people. Since you’ve been a soldier before, you can be a security guard in our company. Don’t look down on security. Our company’s security pays fairly too. The benefits are also not bad. At the very least, you can earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year. It’s not a big problem.”

His aunt added, “Your mom knows how good Lin Feng Corporation is now, so it’s definitely not embarrassing to be a security guard there. Even if you don’t have your cousin’s ability and can’t quickly become a middle management leader, after a few years, your salary will be higher too. If you have another chance, you might be able to get a position in the management, and your income will be even more impressive.”

Lydia Connor had a smile on her face, but there was still a hint of arrogance in her voice as she said, “No matter what, I’m still in the company. We’re all relatives, so I’ll look out for you. In another two years, I’ll take another step forward. By then, I’ll have more say. If I bring it up again, it shouldn’t be a big problem for me to help get you the post of a security chief.”

William Scott was a little speechless. They were really nothing like family. Lydia Connor was just like his uncle’s family of three. She had such a sense of superiority. Most importantly, she was kind-hearted. Well, at least she put up a kind front.

However, with William Scott’s mental state, he could still maintain his calm even in the midst of a rain of bullets. He naturally did not have to take such a small matter to heart. “Thank you for your kind intentions. I will consider it.”

His aunt’s face darkened. She looked like she expected better from him. “Why are you still thinking about it? Do you think there are many positions in such a big company? Once this position is released, it will be gone in two days. It won’t be easy for you to enter again. Don’t you look down on the profession of security? Let me tell you, the security of such a big company is not like the security guards in the small district. They are very impressive.”

Uncle said earnestly, “Young people shouldn’t bite off more than you can chew. You shouldn’t look down on this post or that. Think about it. You’ve been a soldier for so many years. What skills can you learn? It’s just that your body is good. What else can you do if you don’t become a security guard?”

William Scott’s mother, Janna Sands, finally could not hold it in any longer. She coughed lightly and said, “William has been a soldier for so many years and had constantly been exhausted. He has just transferred to another job, so there’s no rush for him. He can have a rest first.”

At this moment, William Scott’s cell phone rang. His cell phone was placed on the coffee table. Janna Sands immediately saw the name displayed on the phone.

William Scott didn’t mind. He picked up the phone and stood up. As he answered the call, he walked further into the house. “Yvette, what’s the matter?”

“Haha, most importantly, do you know who Yvette Quinn is? She’s my son’s girlfriend. It doesn’t make sense for you to ask him to be a security guard for his girlfriend’s company.”
