Chapter 1044


    "I''m so pissed." Shannon sounded chagrined. "I was so close but wasn''t able to catch up."


    She asked after a pause, "How was the lunch I made?"


    "Not bad." I gave a fair assessment.


    I suddenly recalled the incidentst night. Dazaray seemed to know those old bosses, so I asked in


    a serious tone, "Do you know what Dazaray does?"


    Shannon was astonished. "Why are you suddenly asking about what she does?"


    I pursed my lips. "The case Jordan gave me is a littleplicated. Dazaray seems to know some


    local bosses. That’s why I''m asking."


    Shannon clicked her tongue. "Oh, please don''t. She used to sell jade bracelets because she has


    channels for it. They cost an astronomical amount, so she knows a lot of rich people. But I heard


    that she''s really cunning because she often sells counterfeit goods to people who can''t tell the


    difference, so her reputation i s slowly being affected. I suggest not asking someone unreliable like


    her. Who knows? She might even set you up again."


    I helplessly smiled. "She probably won’t set me up. I''ll just ask basic information about the old


    bosses and


    theirpanies. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy will you be able to fight a winning battle."


    Last night, Dazaray was able to tell at one nce that the man standing beside Theo was called Mr.


    Isaac. She probably knew a lot of old bosses like him.


    Besides, judging from the look on Mr. Isaac''s facest night, he was probably there for the project.


    To be able to invite Theo to the club and gain a firm footing beside Theo out of the many bosses out


    there showed that his ability was not to be underestimated. Hence, I needed to get to know Mr.


    Isaac and his enterprise.


    Shannon let out a long sigh. "Missy, you might as well ask Thaddea and me. My grandma has been


    living in Hommiton City her whole life and has a pretty solid foundation here. She knows these local


    enterprises like the back of her hand. Thaddea’s boyfriend is a property agent. Do you think he’s


    worse off than Dazaray when ites to interacting with the rich?"


    I was a little surprised and did not expect them to offer so much help. Sure enough, having friends


    opened up more opportunities.


    I thought about it and asked, "Are you still downstairs?"


    "Yeah.” Shannon sounded dissatisfied. "Come down and have a cup of coffee with me. I''ll help you


    ask everything you want to know. Don''t underestimate me next time. Although I''m a socially idle


    person, that doesn''t mean that I’m socially useless."

    I could not help butugh. "Sure, Missy. I''ll go downstairs right away."


    I grabbed my bag and went downstairs after hanging u p the phone.


    Shannon was sitting on the lobby''s sofa. She was using her phone, and there was a pile of


    shopping bags beside her. It seemed like she had gone to the mall to make a big sweep.


    When she saw me, she put her phone in her purse and got up to say to me with a grin, "Let’s go


    and have some afternoon tea together."


    I noticed that most of the things she bought were luxury items. I asked curiously, "Does your family


    own a mine?"


    She did not need to attend work or school and just spent money all day?


    Shannon smiled slightly. "We indeed have a mine, but i t belongs to my grandma. Ever since she


    learned that my parents sent me to that school and nearly got me killed out there, she has forbidden


    them to control me. She took it upon herself to watch after me. That''s why I''m living the life now."


    Some people were born to work hard their whole lives to make a living; some were born to just sit


    and wait until the day they died.


    I did not ask any more questions. I helped her carry her shopping bags. I got ready to go and have


    afternoon tea with her.
