As soon as Tom saw the person's expression, he knew that he had been misunderstood. He threw This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
away the recruitment flyer, stood up and said with a smile, "Landon, long time no see."
Tom soon recognized that the person in front of him was an acquaintance named Landon, who was a
few years younger than Tom. Landon was a good-natured young man. He used to sell breakfast
downstairs at Tom's home and got along well with Tom. He had invited Tom to have a few meals.
"Landon, didn't you go North already? Why are you back?" After pleasantries, Tom asked curiously.
Landon answered, "I'm back. I'm working with Chase now."
Tom saw that Landon wear a designer suit that cost a few thousand dollars. He punched Landon in the
chest and teased, "Landon, you've made a big fortune. I haven't seen you for a few years. Now you put
on a famous suit."
Tom was in a good mood when he met his former acquaintances. After resting for a while, he had
recovered a little. His face was not as pale as before, but he still looked miserable.
Being praised by Tom, Landon scratched his head, laughed and said, "Not a big fortune. I just made
some money a few years ago."
"You're lucky." Tom was happy for Landon. He thought Landon was a kind young man.
Just then, a dissatisfied voice came from behind, "Hey, Bean Sprout, what are you beeping at there?
Hurry up and come over to me."
Bean Sprout was Landon's nickname, because he was as thin as bean sprouts. When Landon heard
this voice, he immediately looked back and said apologetically to Tom, "Tom, Chase called me. I'll go
over and talk to him first. Could you wait for me here for a while?"
Tom nodded, then Landon trotted over. He bowed and explained to a young man who was wearing a
famous brand of clothing and a gold watch.
That young man looked about twenty-five years old. His face was full of arrogance. He was wearing a
famous brand and shaking his BMW keys in his hand to highlight his wealth.
Tom was surprised to see this young man because he recognized that this young man was also an
acquaintance.
After a while, the young man looked over and looked at him with an excited smile on his face. His eyes
lit up as if he had found an interesting prey. The corners of his mouth rose and he walked towards Tom.
Landon followed him and introduced, "Chase, this is Tom, Tom. We used to know each other."
The man called 'Chase' said in a strange tone, "I know him, Tom, the son-in-law of the Scotts. Who
didn't know this big shot in the past?"
When Landon heard this, he was a little embarrassed. Afraid that Tom would be angry, he quickly
introduced to Tom, "Tom, this is Chase, Chase. We used to know each other."
Tom nodded and said faintly, "Yes."
Chase, indeed, was an old acquaintance who came from the same place as Landon. But Tom didn't
have a good impression of Chase. Because he was a born peacock and always looked down on
others. It cannot be denied that Chase was intelligent and very opportunistic. But he tended to
transgress morality. Tom had always had a bad impression of him.
Tom's indifferent attitude made Chase a little unhappy. In his opinion, Tom was just a poor son-in-law
living in the homes of his wife's parents and he could not compare with a successful person like him.
There was a big class gap between them.
Chase looked up and down at Tom and found that Tom was dressed in ordinary clothes and sweaty,
looking miserable. Then Chase said in a playful tone, "Tom, I haven't seen you for so long. Where are
you working? Can you earn five thousand dollars a month?"
As soon as Chase opened his mouth, Tom knew what Chase was going to say. Tom didn't want to talk
to such a fool at all. He said directly to Landon, "Landon, since you have something to do, I won't
disturb you. Let's add friends on WhatsApp. When you're free, we can go out for meals."
Chase's face turned cold. Tom dared to ignore him. How arrogant!
Landon was obviously afraid of Chase. Seeing his face, he immediately panicked, because he was
afraid that Chase would trouble Tom. He immediately winked at Tom to imply him not offend Chase. He
quickly acted as a peacemaker in the middle and said with a smile, "No problem. But Tom, how about
having a meal today? Chase has a party to attend later. We can go there together. Not only can we go
to taste delicious food for free, but we can also get the money."
Landon was very kind-hearted. He had just seen Tom looking at the dishwasher recruitment. Obviously,
Tom had been living a tough life recently. Now Tom had a chance to be Chase's subordinate and attend
tonight's upper-class party. He could not only eat a lot of delicacies, but also get money.
To Landon's surprise, Tom was not interested in this so-called upper-class party at all. He shook his
head and said, "No need. I'm tired of delicacies. You can go and eat."
He was telling the truth. He was tired of delicacies. As long as he wanted, he can taste luxury food
casually. But From Landon and Chase's perspective, he was pretending to be rich. Landon understood
Tom. He thought that Tom, as a middle-aged man, did not want to lose face in front of his old friends.
But Chase seemed to have heard a big joke and burst out laughing. "Hahaha, I didn't hear it wrong, did
I? Are you sure you're tired of all the delicacies? I don't mean to despise you. I don't think you've ever
eaten delicacies in your life."
Tom frowned and glanced at Chase. Chase immediately felt inexplicably scared and couldn't help but
shiver. He thought that something was wrong with his body and did not think it was Tom that made him
shiver.
When Landon felt that the atmosphere became awkward, he quickly pulled Chase aside and
whispered. When Chase heard that Tom was in a bad state and was hunting the job as a dishwasher,
he was especially happy and felt even more superior. He waved his hand and said, "All right, let's do
this. I'll allow him to come over tonight and be my subordinate. I'll give him 500 dollars as a subsidy."
Landon was overjoyed and thanked Chase. Then he trotted to Tom and pulled him aside, "Tom, don't
argue with Chase. He's always like this. Sometimes he's annoying, but Chase is very nice. There
happened to be an upper-class party tonight, and Chase was invited to attend. As long as you change
into a suit, you can go together with us. Not only is there delicious food, but also would gain two
thousand dollars!"
Tom looked deeply at Landon. Just now, he heard what Landon and Chase were talking about. He
knew that Chase only agreed to give him five hundred dollars. Now, Landon said he would get two
thousand dollars, which meant the extra one thousand five hundred dollars was from Landon.
Looking at Landon's expectant and caring look, Tom was moved. However, he was really not interested
in this so-called upper-class party, and he didn't want to see Chase anymore.
However, when he was about to refuse Landon, suddenly, he saw Landon's forehead was covered by a
faint black gas, which was a design of disaster!
And it seemed that he would have a big disaster.
According to his ability, Tom could see much more than ordinary people, including some metaphysics
that ordinary people could not understand. Now Tom saw that Landon was going to have a disaster
which it was in the near future. If it was someone else, Tom would not care about him. However,
Landon was a nice young man. He hadn't seen him for many years, and when he saw that Landon
might encounter trouble, Tom was willing to help him. Naturally, he couldn't just stand by.
So he smiled and nodded, "Okay."
