The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



Albert also usually treated this place as his office, and he would always stay here as long as he did not need to go out.

Smith was soon brought to Albert's tea room. As soon as he saw Albert, who had a strong presence, he hurried up to him and said politely, "Hello, Mr. Albert! My name is Jameson Smith, and I come from Washington in the United States!"

Albert shook his hand and invited him to sit down opposite the tea set. He smiled and said, "Please sit down, Mr. Smith. Try our Oskian tea!"

Smith hurriedly sat down and accepted the cup of tea that Albert had handed over to him. He did not bother to taste the tea, and he simply said impatiently, "Mr. Albert, I would like to ask you to help me to make an appointment with Liam Weaver from The Apothecary Pharmaceutical. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to do so?"

Albert smiled and said, "Of course it's convenient! As long as the public relations fee is in place, I will give you an appointment immediately. When the time comes, I will arrange for you to meet with him in the Diamond Room in The Heaven Springs. It will definitely be presentable, then."

Smith was overjoyed, but as soon as he thought about how Albert would be charging a fee, he asked

tentatively, "Mr. Albert, I wonder how much would the public relations fee be?"

Albert smiled. He looked at Smith as if he was looking at a lamb that was about to get slaughtered, and he laughed as he said, "The current public relations fee to ask Mr. Weaver out for dinner is five million US dollars!"

"How much?!"

Smith was so shocked that he could not sit still at all.

Five million US dollars? This price was too outrageous, right?!

The public relations company that he was working with previously had only quoted Liam fifty thousand US dollars.

Why had Liam raised the price by a hundred times now that he had come here to Oskia?!

Smith had previously spent much of his savings to treat his son. So, how could he afford to fork out as much money as five million US dollars?!

As he thought of this, he cried out miserably and said," Mr. Albert, I'm not going to lie to you, but my financial situation is far from as good as you think

it is. Not to mention five million US dollars, but I might even face some difficulties to come up with fifty thousand US dollars now..."

Albert shrugged and said helplessly,

"There is no other way then, Mr.

Smith. The price is five million US dollars, and there is no room for any concessions at all. I'm not going to lie to you. This price will also be going up by one million US dollars every day from now on. That means that if you do not pay up by midnight, the price will then be six million dollars after midnight."

Smith was frustrated.

He thought to himself, 'Liam Weaver's revenge mentality is too strong, right? Even if I really did something wrong, there's no need for him to raise the public relations fee by a hundred times, right?!"

When Albert saw that he was not saying anything, he took out one of his business cards, handed it over to Smith, and said indifferently, "Mr. Smith, you can think about it. Call me at this number when you're ready."Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Smith knew that Albert was giving him an expulsion order. Therefore, it would not be too good for him to continue staying here. Hence, he could only say helplessly, "Mr. Albert, I will discuss this matter with family first. I will contact you immediately after I have the results."

my

Smith had mixed feelings in his heart after coming out from The Heaven Springs.

The more he hit a wall in Oskia, the more he felt extreme regret for his attitude toward Liam.

Unfortunately, regret was regret. Smith knew very well that he could not just give up right now.

Therefore, the only way was for him to meet with Liam first through Albert.

However, the cost of this meeting was also really high. Five million US dollars was not at all an affordable sum of money!

Just when Smith was at a loss, he suddenly remembered that the Minister of Health had greeted him before and so, he picked up his cell phone immediately and called the other party back.

As soon as the call was connected, the other party could not wait to ask, "Smith, have you met with the person-in-charge of that pharmaceutical company?"

Smith sighed and said, "Not yet. The person-in-charge said that I would need to go through a middleman to have that meeting, and that middleman asked for five million US dollars for the intermediary fees..."

"Five million US dollars?!" The other party was also dumbfounded when he heard this, and he blurted out," Are they insane? Do they really think that money can fall from the sky?!"

Smith said helplessly, "This is the

attitude on their end now, and I have no other way. I cannot possibly come up with so much money. If you can give me a solution to this fee, I will be able to meet with the person-in-charge again. If you cannot give me a solution for this, I cannot do anything either, then."

The person at the other end of the line was silent for a moment, and Smith could even hear the sound of his clenched teeth. After that, the other party then said angrily, "D*mn it! Five million US dollars it is, then! The money will come from the budget for the Ministry of Health!"
