That time, Joseph was driven crazy by Leo.
Moreover, due to Leo's busy schedule with homework during the day, he would approach Joseph during the nighttime. The student apartment they resided in was designed with individual rooms to ensure that students could have ample rest. However, on numerous occasions, other students would visit Joseph to discuss their coursework and would inadvertently catch a glimpse of Leo in his room.
Over time, everyone was laughing that Joseph liked men.
The reason was simple.
Leo had earned a reputation for his penchant for playful relationships, frequently engaging with different girlfriends. Unlike Joseph, Leo seemed to have an abundance of women around him. However, none of these women ever appeared to be in a serious relationship with him, leaving everyone perplexed. The absence of a long-term girlfriend fueled gossip and speculation among their peers.
Certainly, everyone understood that these rumors were merely idle speculation, and nobody seriously considered them to be gay. Their curiosity mainly revolved around why Joseph had not pursued a romantic relationship with a girlfriend.
In everyone's eyes, it seemed that, besides Jenny, he rarely contacted other women.
Only Joseph knew it.
Joseph's schedule was so demanding that he found himself lacking the energy to invest in a romantic relationship. He began to empathize with Leo's father's perspective, believing that when given the opportunity to choose, one should strive for outcomes that align with their expectations. Joseph felt that this principle extended to matters of the heart as well.
For that car, Leo seemed to be ready for the risk of everything.
Due to his busy schedule, Leo couldn't devote enough time to his girlfriend, which ultimately led to their breakup. Meanwhile, Leo was occupied with his own responsibilities throughout the day. It was Joseph who brought to Leo's attention that his girlfriend had started dating someone from the financial department.
Joseph didn't engage in gossip, but he happened to witness the situation himself.
Leo responded nonchalantly, with a hint of derision, stating that the girl was not as significant as a car.
Indeed, she held no significance compared to a car.
That was because, at that time, Leo did not meet his love.
The taxi made a sharp break.
And it prompted Joseph to walk out of the memory.
A car rushed at full speed, which surprised the taxi driver, who rolled down the window and roared angrily at the car. "What the hell are you doing?"
Perhaps afraid to surprise him, the driver explained to Joseph, "He's silly. A road killer!"
Joseph didn't say much, but he offered a subtle piece of advice, saying, "Take it easy and prioritize safety above all else."
The driver nodded.
Joseph gazed out of the window, his eyes resembling clouds drifting across the sky, conveying a sense of tranquility and lightness.
Joseph couldn't help but wonder if Leo had met Irish before; perhaps the importance he placed on the car would have diminished in his heart.
As these thoughts occupied his mind, Joseph's mood became slightly disturbed.
This feeling weighed on him, making him feel drained.
He should be happy that Irish didn't appear in those days.I think you should take a look at
Joseph had a realization that selling those goods would enable Leo to afford and drive his beloved car.
In that sense, Joseph unintentionally became an accomplice in Leo's pursuit.
During that time, Joseph wasn't as composed as he is now. Despite having a more stable temperament compared to Leo, his own ambition and determination were also apparent. Following a series of setbacks, Leo felt disheartened and contemplated giving up. However, Joseph, being the supportive friend that he was, convinced Leo that there was still a path forward and encouraged him to persevere.
Joseph helped him find a way.
Day and night, he thought about it, and he was almost dreaming of selling the goods.
He found that although the texture of the product was not good, it could not be regarded as bad, which could only meet the average consumer level. But coupled with mediocre design, it was simply whimsical that they could be sold at a good price.
Joseph asked Leo to take good-looking design jewelry from the clubhouse.
Leo didn't understand what he was going to do, but he did. After that, Joseph asked the company's purchasing general manager out and showed him the jewelry taken from the clubhouse.
Leo was appalled and said that was a fraud.
Joseph said to him, "If you want to sell things, sometimes we have to use some means."
Leo clenched his teeth and asked what he was going to do.
Joseph lightly said, "Help you buy a car."
Leo did not understand what he wanted to do and could only frown and wait to see his next action.
On the other side, the general manager exuded arrogance, likely due to his possession of capital and control over purchasing channels. Upon encountering Joseph and Leo, he displayed a dismissive attitude. His disdain stemmed from their youthfulness, as well as his ignorance regarding their true identities and backgrounds, only knowing them as representatives from Leo's company.
Joseph took the initiative to reserve a table, and naturally, the expenses would be covered by Leo.
As the other party was an Asian customer, Joseph and Leo accompanied him for a drink. After enjoying wine and food together, they decided to have some fun at a pub accompanied by five attractive young women.
The night was filled with laughter and amusement, and the customer expressed their appreciation for Joseph and Leo's company.
In that group of women, one of them seemed particularly young and exhibited reluctance and shyness. Unfortunately, the customer forcefully pulled her into his arms and began touching her, leaving her too frightened to resist.
She desperately searched for help.
Leo found it difficult to bear witness to this situation and stood up, intending to intervene and persuade the customer to stop. However, Joseph quickly intervened, stopping Leo in his tracks. Leo clenched his fist tightly, watching the scene unfold with a mix of frustration and concern.
Feeling overwhelmed by the situation, Leo excused himself and went to the bathroom to relieve his frustration, spitting out the remnants of the foreign wine he had consumed. Concerned for his friend, Joseph couldn't rest assured and decided to follow him to the bathroom. There, he discovered Leo gripping the sink tightly, staring intensely at his own reflection in the mirror.
Joseph asked him, "What's the matter?"
Leo's frustration and anger were evident as he looked at Joseph through the mirror and exclaimed, "Don't you feel disgusted? Damn it! I'm a manager too, and here I am, accompanying the client like his grandson! Look at him, treating these women as objects right in front of us!"
Joseph remained remarkably composed and replied, "So what? Sometimes you have to play the role of a grandson until the day you become the president of your own company."
