Chapter 288: Additional Condition
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard Kelly directly offering Connor an annual salary of 10 million dollars.
No one expected that Kelly would value Connor so much and directly offer him that much money.
As long as Connor agreed, he could immediately get rid of his loser status and become a member of the upper class!
As for these people present, they no longer had the qualifications to laugh at Connor.
They finally understood why he’d refused her offer. If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely agree without thinking. However, Connor was certain that Kelly really wanted to invite him to be the person in charge of the Collective Stroke.
Which was why he played hard to get. First, he deliberately rejected Kelly, and then used this opportunity to get Kelly to give him a higher reward.
Adam, who was sitting on the sofa, was very disdainful of Connor’s behavior because he felt that he had long seen through Connor’s tricks. Although 10 million was not a small amount, it was just a drop in the bucket for Adam and Kelly. As long as Kelly was happy, Adam would not argue with Connor.
Qahira pouted and couldn’t help but mutter, “This Connor looks like a fool, but
I didn’t expect him to be so cunning!”
“That’s right. He usually looks honest, but I didn’t expect him to have some brains…” Ailee added.
“Hmph, 1 originally wanted to use Grandpa’s birthday banquet to knock Freya down a peg, but 1 didn’t expect that she would still come out victorious!”
Qahira gritted her teeth and snorted coldly.
Not far away, Maya, Freya and Priscilla were smiling happily. They felt that Connor’s move of playing hard to get was too smart. This way, not only would he not lose this opportunity, but he would also get a better reward!
Zander looked at Connor and heaved a sigh of relief. He did not care about how much money Connor could earn in a year as long as he did not offend Kelly and Adam.
“1’11 give you an annual salary of 10 million dollars. You should be able to agree now, right?”
Kelly asked Connor confidently. She felt that Connor no longer had any reason to reject her—
“I’ve already said that I’m not interested in your Collective Stroke!”
Connor still shook his head.
After Kelly heard this, she was dumbfounded again. She looked at Connor in disbelief.
Everyone else present was also dumbfounded.
They had never expected that Connor would still reject Kelly when she had already offered an annual salary of 10 million dollars.
“Connor, is there something wrong with your brain? Miss Turner has already offered you an annual salary of 10 million dollars, and you still refuse!”
Maya shouted at Connor.
“Yeah, Connor, have you really thought it through?” Freya also called out.
“I’ve thought it through very clearly. No matter how much money she gives me today, even if she gives me an annual salary of 50 million dollars, 1 won’t work at this Collective Stroke!”
Connor replied indifferently, then turned around and prepared to leave.
An annual salary of 10 million dollars was nothing to Connor. This bit of money could not move him.
“Connor…”
Maya saw that Connor was about to leave and hurriedly shouted after him, but he ignored her and continued to walk out of the reception room.
Everyone there was dumbfounded. They looked at Connor’s retreating back in confusion.
Freya finally realized that Connor had rejected Kelly not because he wanted to raise her price, but rather because he had never thought of working here.
However, what Freya could not understand was that Connor was clearly just a poor student, so why would he reject this job with an annual salary of ten million?
Kelly had offered him a job that could change his life and destiny!
“Young Master Lawson, this…This…”
Zander was so scared that his back was covered in cold sweat. He looked at
Adam while trembling, not knowing what to say. He knew that if Connor rejected Kelly today, it would be equivalent to slapping Adam in the face!
How could a person like Adam tolerate a poor loser slapping him like that!
Therefore, when Adam saw that Connor was about to leave, he hurriedly stood up with a gloomy expression and then walked towards Connor’s position.
“Dear…”
Kelly felt that Adam’s emotions were not quite right. She quickly reached out to stop Adam, then gently shook her head, indicating that Adam should not be impulsive.
“Don’t worry, 1 won’t fight him. I just want to have a good chat with him…”
Adam replied indifferently. The expression on his face also eased a lot. He got up, walked behind Connor and patted his shoulder gently.
Connor turned his head to look at Adam and asked coldly, “Was there anything else you needed?”
“Connor, what kind of attitude is this! That is Young Master Lawson you’re talking to!”
Zander shouted at the top of his lungs.
Adam turned his head and glanced at Zander before saying expressionlessly, “It’s fine…”
“Young Master Lawson, Connor is not from our Phillips family. He might not know the situation here. Please don’t lower yourself to his level!”
Zander quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. After all, Connor was considered half a Phillips family member now. He did not want the relationship between the Phillips and Lawson families to be affected because of Connor. Otherwise, things would be troublesome!
“I know!”
Adam nodded lightly, then walked in front of Connor. He narrowed his eyes and sized up Connor. He said calmly, “Kid, you’re good at playing the guitar. It’s good fortune for you to be able to catch my girlfriend’s eye. I know that you musicians are more ambitious, so you definitely won’t be interested in just giving you money…”
“So?”
Connor asked expressionlessly.
“How about this? The conditions that my girlfriend promised you before will remain the same. As long as you work at Collective Stroke, I, Adam, will owe you a favor. No matter what problems you have in the future, as long as i can solve them, 1 will definitely help you solve them!”
Adam said to Connor with a smile. Actually, according to Adam’s normal style of doing things, he definitely wouldn’t choose to use this method to solve the problem. He could completely use the Lawson family’s power to force Connor to come to work!
However, because Kelly had sent him a warning look before, Adam was being polite to Connor. After all, Kelly only wanted Connor to come to her art center to work. She didn’t want to force him to come.
Because in this case, even if he was forced to come, he would be very unwilling and would not be able to do well.
Freya Maya, and the others stared at Connor with wide eyes. Their expressions were extremely shocked!
A favor from Young Master Lawson was a huge deal!
