Chapter 666: Who Was Your First Time?

Chapter 666 Who Was Your First Time?

After they got out of the car, Claire simply hugged Luke and said goodbye to Selina before she left with her classmates.

The others also said goodbye to Luke and Selina, and the girls giggled as they bounced off to their rooms to talk about Batman.

Luke and Selina smiled as they looked at each other before they got into their cars and went home. Just when Luke thought that his leisurely life would continue for a while longer, Jenny suddenly called him. “Luke, I need your opinion on something.”

Luke said, “What is it?”

Jenny asked, “Do you know Senator Thompson?” Luke said, “An outstanding member of the Thompson family and a female councilor who’s been in the limelight recently. According to the polls, support for her is increasing, and it’s very likely she’ll be the next mayor of Los Angeles – Patricia Thompson?”

Jenny said, “That’s her. Something’s happened in her family which we might be able to use.”

Luke asked, “What’s up?”.

“One of her nieces went on a trip to Europe with classmates, and is now missing,” Jenny replied. Luke was stunned. “Is her niece… rich?”

Knowing what he meant, Jenny said, “This young lady planned the trip herself and left according to her scheduled itinerary yesterday, but no one can reach her now.”

Luke asked, “So, Senator Thompson came to

me?”

Jenny coughed awkwardly and said, “No, I only learned about it because this missing lady is a major shareholder in Island Dragon Electronics, which is our phone chips supplier.”

Luke was lost for words. “…Are you saying that I have to save her first?”

Jenny nodded helplessly. “Our router technology needs authorization by Island Dragon Electronics, and we need the company to supply the phone chips in advance before we can start manufacturing the phones as soon as possible. Based on Island Dragon’s current production plan, it’ll only get to our order at the end of the year.”

Luke understood.

The phone company had just started production, but was keeping down the amount of phone parts in its purchase order.

Jenny wouldn’t be able to fully expand production until after they obtained the initial market response.

As a large-scale manufacturer of electronic components, Island Dragon would already have in place a production plan that was months or even a year ahead, and would supply its customers with the goods based on that plan

Since the Titanium phones were new, their company didn’t have a large order, and naturally could only wait in line with the plan. Luke frowned and thought for a long while, unsure if he should take the job.

The main point was that the other party hadn’t looked for him. Wouldn’t this be… delivering himself to their door?

Pondering for a long while, he finally said, “If possible, it would be best for me to go to this missing lady’s house first.” Jenny heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll contact them and give you a reply as soon as possible.”

After Luke put the phone away, Selina asked, “Another business trip?”

Luke shrugged. “Money.”

Selina asked curiously, “Didn’t you reject Weyland’s five-million-dollar offer a few days ago?”

Luke sighed. “It has to do with the phone company. If I don’t take care of it, it’ll delay the profits that the company can make.”

Selina shook her head decisively. “Don’t talk to me about that. I only know how to use a phone; leave selling the phone to your young lady.”

Luke was amused. “Want to go to Europe together?”

Selina’s heart skipped a beat, but she shook her head when she saw Gold Nugget in the rearview mirror. “Forget it. You’re going to look for someone. Claire is in L.A. too. Gold Nugget and I can take care of her at home.”

After a brief silence, Luke nodded with a smile. “Alright.”

When Selina mentioned Gold Nugget, she was naturally saying that it could ensure Claire’s safety during an emergency.

She hadn’t forgotten that there might be another earthquake in Los Angeles.

Thinking that, Luke didn’t really want to go to Europe.

The phone company could make money later.

If an earthquake happened in Los Angeles, he could go out again in the Batman suit.

On the other end, Jenny was very quick. She sent Luke a message that night to say that she could take him to the Thompsons’ place in the afternoon tomorrow.

Luke didn’t refuse. He was still weighing the pros and cons. After half a day, he deliberated the issue again.

If an earthquake happened in Los Angeles, he would be able to build up Batman’s popularity and earn a lot of experience and credit points.

But he had gained a lot from his previous trip to Paris.

At that time, he hadn’t wanted to stand out too much, so he had spent the rest of that week relaxing with Elena. Otherwise, he could have earned even more experience and credit points.

Thinking this way, Luke’s hands felt a little itchy.

Also, things were different now. He subconsciously scanned his inventory.

After the last expansion, it still looked empty no matter how much of his gains that Luke put in.

Maybe I can do something more this time around? Luke murmured inwardly.

The next afternoon, Luke and Jenny, who had just flown back, took a company car to the Thompson house in San Diego.

This was the home of Malachi Thompson, not the home of Senator Patricia Thompson.

The Thompson family had branched out all over America, but California was their base.

This Malachi Thompson was also an important figure in the Thompson family. Even the all-powerful Thompson woman in Los Angeles was only a little sister to this bigshot. Luke had no idea how Jenny had obtained this chance to meet him.

Looking at her tired and nervous expression, he knew that she had put in a lot of effort.

Patting her back, he said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Even if this doesn’t work out, our phone company will still make money. Success will be ours eventually.” Dazed for a moment, Jenny’s tense body then relaxed and she leaned against him. “Fine; you’re always so calm, as if the company isn’t yours.”

Luke chuckled. “Do you remember when we first met? At that time, you were still Miss High and Mighty, and you were so anxious and restless because you bought a bit of weed.”

Jenny hit him angrily. “Don’t talk about that.”

But she couldn’t help laughing.

Thinking back to how she and Luke met, and how she was working so hard now for their fledgling smartphone company, the difference was like between clouds and mud.

“Fine, maybe I’m too nervous. After all, this is my first time,” she said.

Luke was shocked. “What? Wasn’t I your first time?”

Stunned for a moment, Jenny then punched him several times in anger. “Hey, we’re talking business here.”

Luke put his arm around her with a smile. “Did you forget what I said? Anything discussed between a chairman and a CEO is business.”

By the time they reached the Thompson house, Jenny was much more settled and most of her nervousness had disappeared.

She finally adjusted her mind frame after Luke talked her into taking a nap in the car.
