Chapter 1: "I like her!"

Merrily Rodrigo left the hospital with a tired and desperate face hanging around the doctor's words...

"Miss Rodrigo, your mother's current condition is very unsatisfied, we suggest that you quickly get her mother to undergo surgery. Currently, someone has agreed to donate a kidney, if you can find it within two days. If we get about 20,000$ for the surgery, we will prioritize your mother's treatment. Otherwise, we can only go save other patients."

20,000$?

Where does she go to earn 20,000$?

Mother was sick for two years, and the money she took away when she left that house was spent on hospital fees. Shouldn't it be back? To save her mother, she couldn't help but return, but every time she returned, she met the other person mocking and provoking her and her son, but her biological father ignored it!

But for her mother's sake, she had to try again!

Stepping quickly into the public telephone booth on the side of the road, she dialled someone: "It's me..."

"What?" Mr. Fried Rodrigo asked impatiently.

"I'm not done." She said indignantly, "You abandoned us, not even her life or death, do you still have a conscience? Twenty thousand only, won't you give me that much? !"

"Merrily, calm down a bit..." Mr. Fried Rodrigo said firmly. He doesn't have to leave his mother and daughter alone, but whenever he wants to bring his mother and daughter home, he thinks of his wife. How dare he give her money? Moreover, his company recently had a problem, not to mention twenty thousand, two thousand he did not have...

"Mom can die, how do I calm down?!" Merrily bellowed, "If you die, I will die too, we won't leave you if we become devils!"

"Okay, you are going to the company to find me now." Mr. Fried Rodrigo said.

Merrily Rodrigo turned off the phone and hurried to the office. Entering the company, I found out that Mr. Fried Rodrigo was receiving guests, she could only wait outside.

Waited half an hour, and just when she thought she was being tricked, the door to the study opened. She hastily stood up, in the future to find out that it was not Mr. Fried Rodrigo.

But it was too late, she had already bumped into the other side.

"Aaa..." It hurts, is that person a copper wall?

"What did she do?!" Someone shouted in the ear.

She didn't even react when she felt the pain of her own wrist, who had been pulled aside. She raised her head and realized that the person who had just hurt her was Mr. Fried Rodrigo, her biological father.

Mr. Fried Rodrigo didn't seem to see her, asked the person she touched: "General manager Richard is so sorry, are you okay?!"

Merrily found him a little terrified, knowing that the person he was touching was not a simple character. Otherwise he wouldn't have had this kind of reaction.

She looked up and saw a young man. The man wears a hand-cut and sewn suit from Italy, has a tall figure, and shows a cold expression, giving people a feeling of not being angry but mighty, imposing and oppressive. But he was looking at her, eyes like a hawk. Like a predator finding its toy scared her enough to take a step back.

The man casually glanced at her. His gaze quickly swept from her head to her feet, and then went out without looking back.

Mr. Fried Rodrigo followed him, whole body reverent, bowed his head, automatically made him a god.

Walking to the elevator door, the young man turned around and said in a cold voice: "President Rodrigo please come back, no need to see me off."

"Yes...." Mr. Fried Rodrigo continued to bow his head.

The man stepped into the elevator, when the elevator door closed, he said to his subordinates: "Look at the woman just now."

Merrily Rodrigo and Mr. Fried Rodrigo walked into the office, the two talked straight to the point.

Mr. Fried Rodrigo issued a check: "How much?"

"The surgery fee is at least 20 thousand dollars, excluding the post-operative treatment fee... You check it out yourself and then take it away." Merrily said.

Mr. Fried Rodrigo glanced at her, reluctantly handing her a check for fifty thousand: "How much should be enough. Recently there was a problem with the company, I don't have much, can't give you more. If there is any problem in the future, please call me directly, don't call home, you will be very uninterested."

Merrily snatches the check: "I'll give it back to you!" After that, turn around and walk away.

She had just been gone for half an hour when the phone on Mr. Fried Rodrigo's desk rang.

"Hello?"

"General Manager Rodrigo." From the headphones, comes a stable male voice.

"General Manager Richard!" Mr. Fried Rodrigo fell in love with a nervous breakdown, and his whole body jumped up. Although they were separated by phone, he couldn't help but be frightened by the other's aura. Because the other party is the famous owner of DRM Corporation - the current General Manager Charlie Richard!

Charlie Richard seemed to be chatting and asked: "President Rodrigo wants to sign that treaty with me?"

"That's natural." Mr. Fried Rodrigo admitted without hesitation. For the past few months, he's been working hard for this. Because there is no capital to invest, the company is getting worse and worse, about to go bankrupt. He thinks he should hug this great Charlie Richard tree.

"Then we will have dinner together in the evening and discuss a little."

"Yes... yes... yes..." Mr. Fried Rodrigo couldn't believe it. Charlie Richard disagreed, how can it change now? However, as long as he could sign a contract, he didn't care what happened!

Charlie Richard laughed, suddenly changing the subject: "I heard that General Manager Rodrigo besides the eldest daughter called Alana Rodrigo, there is also a daughter called Merrily Rodrigo?"

Mr. Fried Rodrigo was taken aback, instantly understood, and said, "Yes, it's the person who just bumped into General Manager Richard."

Looks like Charlie Richard has checked it, or else wouldn't have asked. In half an hour, I can find out that the influence of the Richard family is certainly not to be despised.

"Take her with you that night." Charlie Richard said, "I like her very much."

Mr. Fried Rodrigo trembled for a moment, hastily responded.

Charlie Richard likes, naturally has a different connotation. He is a man, how can he not know in the market place for so many years?

Previously, he arranged for Alana and Charlie Richard to realize. Charlie Richard just doesn't like it, who knows that just one glance will appreciate Merrily. But this kind of situation, everyone knows Charlie Richard just feels fresh and wants to play a little bit.

Did he really have to sacrifice Merrily?

Turning off the phone, Mr. Fried Rodrigo pondered for a moment, and finally made a callous decision.

Merrily doesn't have a cell phone, he can't find her, he can only make her see him. He called the bank to cancel the check.

At the bank, Merrily was standing in line, but when it was her turn, she was told that the check was invalid. She froze, stunned for a few seconds, then went to call Mr. Fried Rodrigo: "The check cannot be cashed..."

"Really?" Mr. Fried Rodrigo pretended to be surprised, "It is possible that there is a problem with my account. Recently, I have a urgent financial situation, so this situation sometimes occurs."

"So what to do now?" Merrily looked at the check and began to feel despair. It used to be so easy to get money now, why is it like this? Mom what to do now....

Mr. Fried Rodrigo said: "So let's go, in the evening we have dinner together, you bring your account to me, I will transfer the money directly."

Merrily was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Turning off the phone, she returned to the hospital to care for her mother. At six o'clock she again called Mr. Fried Rodrigo: "Where to eat?"

"I'll send the driver to pick you up." Mr. Fried Rodrigo said.

"I'm waiting at the hospital."

Mr. Fried Rodrigo was a little surprised, turned off the phone.

Merrily sat on the bench outside the hospital, waited for more than ten minutes, the driver arrived. After getting in the car, she closed her eyes, leaned back on the back seat, and closed her eyes to rest. After a while, the driver called her. She thought about the place, got out of the car to find out that the driver brought her into a famous fashion store.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

The driver said: "The president ordered a meal at a Western restaurant and needed to dress up a bit, so he purposely asked me to bring the lady here to prepare a little."

Merrily looked back at her rustic dress, very angry inside. However, for the sake of fifty thousand, she endured!

After two hours, she arrived at the restaurant, unbearably hungry.

"Do you have an appointment, miss?" The restaurant waiter asked.

"Mr. Fried Rodrigo."

"Please follow me." The waiter took a look at her and carried her forward.

The restaurant's air conditioner is really cold, she feels cold all over. She really wanted to hug herself for a while, but this move was so annoying, she could only bear it.

Approaching the dining table set by Mr. Fried Rodrigo, she discovered that there was not only Mr. Fried Rodrigo, but also a man with his back to her.

She hesitated to stop, exclaimed: "Dad..."

Mr. Fried Rodrigo quickly stood up, smiled and said: "I've come, come quickly."

She panicked, because Mr. Fried Rodrigo's smiling face made her feel like he was in love with her! This is not normal! Not normal!

At this moment, the man who still had his back to her turned around; his eyes were lazy when he saw her, his eyes were shining brightly. She glanced and realized that this was the man she bumped into in the afternoon at the company.

" Mr. Fried Rodrigo urged. This is the general manager of DRM group, quickly call the General Manager Richard."

She stood motionless in the same place, bewilderedly said: "President Richard."

Charlie Richard smiled softly, eyes beginning to assess her from head to toe.

She wears a simple purple dress, her hair is braided with a fishtail, looks very feminine and luxurious. Glancing over the delicate collarbone exposed outside, I could see the glass necklace worn on the chest, so eye-catching!

The way he dressed was not wrong, he nodded with satisfaction, turned his head, and said to Mr. Fried Rodrigo: "Tomorrow you come to our company to sign a contract."
