Elliot entered the first floor of the building, and all the employees on the first floor shouted in unison, "Good morning Mr. Foster!" "Happy New Year, Mr. Foster!" "Welcback, Mr. Foster!" Elliot stopped in shock.

Elliot, "I see. Is he here?" "Con. he'll be waiting for you in your office." The vice president said, "Do you think we should have a meeting first, or should we give employees sbonuses for starting work first?" "Give them the bonuses." "Boss, everyone is looking forward to seeing you, so could you give them the bonuses yourself in cash?" the vice president suggested.
"Sure." He strode towards the elevator.

The familiar feeling returned to the body slowly.
His career, his ambitions, all cback.
"I stayed up late last night talking to your sister on the phone, and now | can't open my sleepy eyes." Ben sighed, "Longdistance relationships are really hard. The taste is even more bitter than the coffee | drink now. She only has tfor lunch every day; | can only stay up until one o'clock to call her." Elliot was deeply moved by his spirit, "She has nothing now. You're not pursuing her so fervently because you think she can really beca supermodel, are you? In case she doesn't beca supermodel..." "Elliot, you think too low of me. | don't want her to beca supermodel at all... If she becomes a supermodel and makes a lot of money, do you think she can still like me? Now she has no fame, no money, and little knowledge, so she might still want me." "Your analysis is good." Elliot said sharply," Apparently, Lilith's seduction strategy is working rather well." "What do you mean? Me, seduced by her?" Ben put down his coffee cup loudly, "Why didn't | notice?" Elliot narrowed his eyes, "Why do you have to be so humble? You are the chief financial officer of Sterling Group. Even if Lilith becomes a supermodel in the future, she is nothing but a pretty face in front of you." Ben couldn't help laughing.
"She's your own sister; why do you say that of her? Besides, talking aboutbeing seduced, | think you're being seduced by Avery too. You are the dignified Sterling Group president, but when Avery calls you, you answer immediately. She is just a doctor; why do you listen to everything she says?" Elliot, "Since you won't listen to my advice, go ahead!" "Hey, when did you advise me?" Ben asked, "Do you wantto give up Lilith? My parents like her very, though." "You are looking for a wife for yourself, not for your parents." "I like her very much!" Ben's face flushed," Lilith is quite unique. Every tshe scolds me, | feel rejuvenated, which is more effective than taking tonics." Elliot raised his brows ;f(>PMP> asked," Have you started taking tonics?" "Aren't we talking about Lilith? Don't change the subject." "I think the matter of you taking tonics is much more interesting.” Elliot tapped his finger on the table, "You having problems?" "No! | didn't take any tonics! It's my mother who thinks | should take sat my age! She concocted sstrange soup for me, | don't know what herbs are in it, and it was refreshing to drink." Ben said his face with a smirk, "Why don't | ask my mom to cook it for you next time?" "No, I'm fine." Elliot rejected him.
"By the way, | almost forgot to tell you something important!" The smile on Ben's face disappeared, and he suddenly becserious.
