If his mother heard this, she would absolutely blow a gasket."So much, will your mother agree?" Sophia couldn't help but doubt it. She didn't believe that a person who knew nothing would get such a high salary when he just joined the company. "What are you talking about? I am the eldest son, and what I say is still very effective." Afastin's tone at this time was just like his father Amandine, and even his expression was exactly the same. When he went to Nicola to talk about this, "Are you crazy? The highest-paid employee in our company is only more than 20,000 shillings."
"No, you must promise me, I promised Sophia, I can't break my promise." Afastin kept pestering his mother, pushing the spirit of relying on his parents to a new height. Alena couldn't stand it, "Brother, have you been brainwashed by that woman and agreed to everything?"
"It's none of your business here, you have no right to interfere."
"Let Sophia come over, I'll talk to her." Nicola said.
"Why are you looking for her, do you want to break us up?" Afastin asked vigilantly. On the morning of the second day, while Afastin was still asleep, Nicola planned to take the initiative to find Sophia. With the driver's guidance, they soon found the flower shop. The shop was deserted and Sophia was sitting there in a daze. She recognized Nicola and stood up quickly when she saw her coming, "Why are you here?"
Nicola's time was precious, so she asked straight to the point, "Do you like Afastin or the things he gave you?"
"What do you mean?" Sophia said angrily. "When you were De Silva's girlfriend before, you didn't have such a big appetite, but now you're asking for a monthly salary of 50,000."
"That's not what I said, it's your son who proposed it."
"Oh, what do you think?"
"My shop is not doing well, I just want to find a job to support myself." Sophia said pitifully.
The following sentence made Nicola like her very much, "Here are the car keys, give them back to Afastin, I can't accept such a valuable thing from him." Three days later, Sophia went to work in Nicola's company, with a monthly salary of 2,000 shillings, which was much better than her flower shop. Afastin immediately signed up for the company after knowing it. This was his first time stepping into his own office building. The building is located in the small town of Burano, not far from Sophia's original flower shop. Half a month after joining the company, he and Sophia were sent to sign a contract. Nicola was worried and asked a lawyer to follow them. The other party was also a man and a woman. The four of them sat together and chatted, and did not mention the contract until half an hour later, when the other party took out a contract that was seven or eight pages long. Afastin and the other two couldn't understand it, so the lawyer who followed them took it. He read it very carefully. As time passed, Afastin became a little impatient. Under the urging of the other two, he picked up the pen and signed his name. Seeing that his boss agreed, the lawyer did not read the remaining page. In fact, the last page is particularly important. It stipulates that their company must complete 50,000 sets of skin care products within half a month, which is something Nicola's company cannot do. When she took the contract, she said angrily, "You two are really useless. You signed this contract back."
"Mom, you're way out of line. I can take your scolding, but Sophia didn't sign it."
"She didn't stop you either, so she is also responsible." Sophia was scolded so much that she didn't dare to look up, and she was anxious to think of a solution. "Mom, don't make a fuss. We won't do business with them in the future." Afastin said stupidly. Nicola cursed in her heart, "What a fool, how could I give birth to such a stupid son?" If she wanted to complete the order on time, she had to go to Norforth in the city-state, where there were professional equipment and the most advanced robots, which were all left by Ronnie. With her being Amandine's wife, the city-state would definitely help. Time was tight, so she immediately contacted Norforth in the city-state. As expected, he quickly agreed and sent personnel to support. With the help of the city-state, Nicola was finally relieved. Next, she dared not give important things to Afastin, and only let him handle some internal chores. On a sunny morning, their family welcomed a distinguished guest, and his presence electrified the whole town. Their house was crowded with reporters. People kept shouting his name, "Norforth! Norforth!" The man was the founder of the city-state, Dr. Norforth, the greatest pioneer of this era. The doctor, like Amandine, came from the future, and the two were about the same age. At this time, he looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies. Nicola was flattered and hurried out to greet him. De Silva, Afastin, Alena and others also looked respectful. After entering the house, the reporters were blocked outside by the city-state's city guards. "Nicola, long time no see!" Norforth spoke first.
"Sir, are you okay?" Nicola was very excited. Decades ago, she only called him by his original name "QiaoQiaoxing", but now she dared not call him out.
Norforth sighed, "It's a pity that Amandine is not here. I really want to meet him again."
"Sir, I met him once last year."
"Oh! How is he now? Why didn't he come back here?" Norforth asked with great interest.
"He is in Thailand. He is good, but his temper is still the same."
Norforth smiled, "He has always been like this. Don't bother with him. He and I always want to go back to the future. Maybe that is our real home."
"Sir, I heard that Mr. Ronnie has passed away. There is no time machine in the world anymore."
Norforth nodded, not surprised, as if he had known about this for a long time. When he turned around and saw De Silva, he was secretly surprised, "He is so young. Did Mr. Ronnie give him the 'Telomere Regeneration Liquid'?" Even in the future, not everyone can have the telomere regeneration liquid. Only the rich and powerful can have it.
This is what De Silva feared the most. He took a step back involuntarily. What he fears will come true. Norforth called his name, forcing him to emerge against his will. "Are you De Silva? Do you remember your grandfather Ronnie?"
"I remember, sir."
"If I remember correctly, you should be 40 years old this year?" Norforth asked a sharp question. De Silva's face changed slightly, and he whispered, "Yes, sir."
Norforth smiled and stopped asking, but turned to Alena, "Who is this?"
Just as Nicola was about to introduce her, Alena stood up, "My name is Alena, De Silva is my brother."
"Are you willing to join the city-state? With your appearance, you can run for the next Holy Virgin." Norforth invited enthusiastically.
