CHAPTER 544: CHAPTER 259 KAY FORREST SETS OUT FOR BEIJING (2 MORE UPDATES)_2

Evie Larkin let out a sigh of helplessness: "I think it’s not easy for a young girl like her to go on a business trip with you.

Don’t be like this, it’s much better when everyone looks out for each other on the road."

"You... are just too kind.

Evie, you can’t always be like this.

Being too kind is also a sickness, you know?"

Evie Larkin laughed without a word, shaking her head: "I’m really curious what kind of big grudge you guys have that would make you even say something like this.

Kindness is not a disease; people should live with a bit more kindness.

I think Jane’s mindset is quite good, and her personality is very cheerful too.

You shouldn’t think too much, just get along well with her.

You should treasure this connection, I think you two..."

"You’ve misunderstood; my relationship with her isn’t like that."

Nolan Moore hadn’t expected to cause such a misunderstanding.

Him and that affectatious woman? What a joke.

Now Evie Larkin was really puzzled; if it’s not that kind of relationship, why is it so rigid?

This doesn’t seem like Nolan Moore’s style.

She looked up at Nolan Moore, who shook his head at her.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this matter.

I don’t have the mood to talk about that woman’s trivial matters right now.

After the plane takes off, you should take a short nap.

Once we arrive in Beijing, we’ll take care of business first, then I’ll take you out to unwind."

Evie Larkin watched her and nodded with a reserved smile: "Okay then."

Before the plane took off, Jane Quinlan sent Kay Forrest a photo of herself on the plane.

After giving it some thought, she left him a message: "This business trip is quite eventful.

Nolan Moore even brought along that celebrity girlfriend I guessed, you know.

Would you say this counts as mixing business with pleasure?

I’m even thinking of reporting him."

After sending the message, seeing that Kay Forrest hadn’t replied for a long time, she guessed he was probably busy.

Thinking that the plane would take off in a short while,

she simply turned off her phone.

By the time Kay Forrest finished the company meeting, it was already four o’clock.

Old Mr. Forrest let the managers leave first and asked him to stay.

In the meeting room, only the father and son were left. Kay Forrest abandoned his earlier formal demeanor and crossed his legs casually.

"What’s the matter, old man, another imperial edict to be issued?"

"I’ve noticed that you’ve been quite active in the company recently, so there’s something I want to discuss with you.

We have a piece of land in the west side of the city. Someone wanted to buy it to build a golf course, but I’ve never been willing to sell it.

I remember your mother once said that her biggest dream was for me to build a playground for you.

So I’m thinking about developing that land ourselves. What do you think?"

Kay Forrest raised his eyebrows lightly: "My mother used to say such things?"

"At that time, you weren’t even born yet, and my business wasn’t really doing well either.

But I remember what your mother said.

Back then, she also probably didn’t expect that one day I could bring the business to this level.

It’s just a pity she left too early and didn’t enjoy the good life."

Kay Forrest curled his lips: "Alright, no need for the sentimentality.

If my mom was alive, could she change anything?

Is a life with money to spend considered a good life?

You work so hard every day; she would still have nothing but loneliness."

Hearing what Kay Forrest said, a layer of grey seemed to cloud Old Mr. Forrest’s eyes: "How long do you intend to blame me for this matter?"

Forrest, one day you’ll become a father too. Then you’ll understand.

Being a father is never easy to do perfectly."

"Let’s not talk about useless things. I don’t recommend building an amusement park on that land to the west.

If you’d thought about what my mom said before she passed away and decided to build an amusement park back then, I would have been all for it.

But now, how many amusement parks are there in Anchester? At least five, big and small.

There’s already more supply than demand, and you want to barge in?

I know you have money and aren’t afraid of losses.

But my mom has been gone for so many years now, she’s probably already reincarnated into some other family.

She can’t see anything you do for her.

So, old man, be realistic.

How is it that you’re getting older but still learning how to dream?

If you ask me, there are two choices for that piece of land. The first is to sell it at a high price and make a profit.

That wouldn’t be a waste of all the years you’ve held onto it.

The second is to build our own residential complex.

I’ve looked into that piece of land to the west before and building a residential complex is by far the best option.

Even though everyone is talking about housing bubbles and a regression in the real estate market.

The reality is quite the contrary, and you should be well aware of that.

You’re a businessman, not a romance saint.

And even if you really want to be a romance saint, it’s a bit too late for that."

Grayson Forrest glared at Kay Forrest, this damned kid, can’t he say anything pleasant?

"So, you’re rejecting the proposal to build an amusement park?"

Kay nodded and stood up: "Exactly, I will never agree.

Of course, if you feel you really loved my mother and are a super romantic at heart.

Then if you want to do something for your long-deceased wife, I won’t object.

After all, the land is yours, and the choice is in your hands.

But my advice is to build a residential complex. Love doesn’t necessarily have to be shown through such actions."

Grayson sighed: "Alright, I know what you think. Go get busy, I’ll give this some more thought."

Kay left the office nonchalantly and returned to his own.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket, intending to change it from silent mode to ringtone mode when he noticed an unread message.

He opened WeChat, and a smile crept onto his lips after seeing the photo sent by Jane Quinlan.

Looking at the smitten grin on this brat’s face, he felt the urge to sleep with her just from looking at her photo.

She seems to be in good spirits.

And the message below... Evie Larkin went too?

Strange, if Nolan Moore went on a business trip, why is Evie tagging along?

Could it be that Nolan intends... to tell Jane something?

Kay’s heart raced with anxiety. If that damned Nolan dared to do so, he would slaughter him.

He exited WeChat and then called Jane, but her phone was powered off.

Chances are she’s on a plane right now.

Kay dialed his secretary on the intercom: "Wendy, go down to the marketing department immediately and check Nolan Moore’s itinerary for me. Also, book me a flight ticket to Beijing."

"Right now?"

Wendy was somewhat surprised, this was really sudden.

She flipped open the work plan and took a look: "Director Forrest didn’t have any plans to go to Beijing today."

"If I say I have plans, then I have plans. Stop wasting time and book the ticket. I want the earliest flight, make no mistake."

"Yes." Kay’s tone wasn’t very pleasant, and Wendy dared not chat needlessly.

After finding out Nolan’s destination, Kay immediately set off for the airport.

He absolutely could not allow Nolan to mess around.

It was still not Nolan’s turn to meddle in his affairs.
