"A few days ago, people weren't so desperate."
Lynch, who was sitting in the car, could not help but sigh as he looked at the people on the road who were becoming more and more like walking corpses.
The stock market crash had taken away people's last hope. Before this, no matter how difficult it was to run a physical business, people believed that everything would get better soon because the financial market was highly prosperous and miracles were being created every day.
As long as the financial market had not collapsed, people would still hold on to hope even in the face of difficulties.
Now, however, hope had been taken away by the stock market crash. Two unprecedented plunges had completely defeated some people's persistence and made them recognize the cruel reality. Everything could not go back.
The world inside the car and the world outside were like two completely different worlds. Two completely unequal and unfair worlds.
Lynch retracted his gaze and turned to Vivian. "How much cash do I have in my personal account?"
Wei Xuan's reaction was very fast. She immediately followed up, "4.47 million. Do you want to hear the change?"
"No, how much can I use?"
"Not more than 3.5 million. Other than the tax that needs to be deducted, there's also a part of the money that needs to be used for salary and operation."
When Vivian looked at Lynch, her eyes were filled with something that she could not describe.
Perhaps it was admiration, or perhaps it was amazement, but more than that, it was amazement.
A few months ago, when she was notified by her firm that she had a bookkeeping job, she thought it would be a simple job that she would just have to take some time every day or every week to do some simple work.
The young man in front of her was very handsome and gentlemanly, but he definitely did not have any money. However, such a guy, in just a few months, actually managed to gather wealth that many people, or even a family, or a clan, could not obtain in several lifetimes.
Sometimes, all of this felt like a dream. She had no idea how all of this was done. How could he make people believe what he said and invest money in him?
Lynch nodded noncommittally. "Are you free recently?"
This was a very sensitive question. When a male superior asked a female subordinate if she was free recently, it often meant that there was a travel job waiting for her.
In social culture, traveling together represented a dangerous intention to some extent. Even if this dangerous intention was in the name of work, it was still very "deadly".
Vivian suddenly felt uneasy and at a loss. She did not immediately answer Lynch's question. "I'm not sure. What's the matter?"
Lynch, on the other hand, did not seem to realize what was hidden behind her panic. He continued to maintain the same tone, attitude, and speed as before. "Tomorrow, I'm going to Bupenn to buy some things, which involves a lot of capital changes. If you don't go, I'll have to find someone else, but I don't trust anyone else. I only trust you."
Some words might not be soul-stirring, but they could always capture the softest thing in one's heart.
Wei Xuan was a little hesitant. What Lynch said was not unreasonable.
In the Bailey Federation, the closest person to a person was not their "soul mate," but their private accountant, private lawyer, and private psychiatrist.
A private accountant had a grasp of a person's most real economic situation. Sometimes, it was so detailed that even a penny could be accurately grasped by a private accountant.
People might hide their income and savings from their partners, but they would not hide from their accountants.
It was the same for private lawyers. These people were in control of the deepest legal issues hidden in a person's heart. Whether a person had committed a crime or not, and how serious the crime was, things that even the judge did not know, their lawyers knew very well in their hands.
As for private psychiatrists, they were even more incredible. Sometimes, this profession was more like a soul mate than a soul mate. Any desire, hatred, and anger hidden in the deepest part of a person's heart, no matter if it was a negative emotion or a positive emotion, they would pour it out to the psychiatrist.
In front of the psychiatrist, they were naked, and this was exactly what a soul mate could not do.
Vivian played such a role. Even Lynch did not know how much money he had, but she knew very well. She even knew the whereabouts of Lynch's every sum of money.
When she heard that Lynch was going to find another accountant if she did not go, she suddenly had a funny feeling that her territory was being violated, but it was a very real feeling.
Lynch's clean eyes and his gaze were hard to refuse. Vivian subconsciously touched her cheek, then looked to the other side of her neck. "How long will it take?"
"Not more than a week. I will speed up as soon as possible."
The two then went to the bank to deal with some problems with Lynch's personal account and transferred some money to his new account. After that, Lynch sent Vivian home and promised to pick her up tomorrow morning. Then, the two of them went to Boston together.
In the evening, Gap came back from the company exhausted. During this time, he had been dealing with a mountain of accounting books in the company.
As CEO Neo expected, the State Federation Investigation Bureau received a report that Christopher was suspected of hiding his income. An investigation team formed by the Federation Investigation Bureau, the Federation Tax Bureau, and the Federation Security Committee began to investigate.
In fact, Gap was a little confused because auditing accounts was a normal thing. However, it should not alarm an organization like the Federation Security Committee. This organization's mission was to eliminate threats that might affect national security.
Will Christopher's relocation affect the security of the country?
Obviously not. However, he was just an insignificant bug. He could not resist these things. He was already on the boat, so he could only continue to move forward with the boat.
Vivian suddenly appeared in the dining room as they were eating a heated dinner. Ever since that incident, the couple rarely spent time together like before.
Even if some things were fixed, it was difficult to return to the way they used to be.
"What's the matter?"
Gap put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth, and looked at his wife.
Vivian nodded hesitantly. In the end, she said, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. I won't be back for a week."
"A business trip?"
Gap raised his voice slightly. "Will it be safe for you to go on the road alone?"
He was a very smart man. He did not force Vivian to go on the business trip with him. Instead, he asked her about her safety.
"I'm going with Lynch to Boone. We have a job there," Vivian explained.
She did not think there was anything wrong with the job. It was normal. "It's just a normal job. You travel a lot too. You know that."
Gap pursed his lips, and his scalp itched. He looked at Vivian, and Vivian looked back at him without showing any weakness.
After a few seconds of staring at each other, Gap asked a question that Vivian found hard to believe. "Will you sleep with him?"
This question was like … a speeding train slamming into Vivian's head. Her head was dizzy, and her tone changed a little. "Why would you think that?"
Then, she realized the nature of the question. "I'm your wife!"
Gap was unusually calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. "Look, ever since you got this job, the thing you've been talking about the most every day is' how's Lin Qi? '" Zhang Heng looked at Gap and said, "Ever since you got this job, you've been talking about' how's Lin Qi? '
"I know him. He's a very handsome young man. Everyone has a good impression of him. I also heard that sometimes he sends you home late at night …" He was silent for a while. "Almost everyone in the community knows about this. You're in a relationship with a young man."
Lynch had sent Vivian home more than once. It was difficult for people not to find out.
It was human nature to watch a show. Some people would even add fuel to the fire just to watch a show. It was indeed a topic that attracted people.
A beautiful young woman and a handsome young man. If sparks were to fly between them, it wouldn't be that unacceptable.
Some of the women were even a little jealous of Vivian. They also wanted a handsome young man to bring some warmth to them late at night.
Vivian looked at Gap in disbelief. The man in front of her was becoming more and more unfamiliar. She shook her head. "Sometimes I work late at night. Do you think I should reject him and walk halfway across the city?"
"Also, my loyalty to my family is higher than yours. I've never slept with him before, and I won't during this business trip!"
"I'm not you. Any woman can climb into your bed!"
"I have to go to Boone tomorrow. Good night!"
After saying this, Vivian returned to her bedroom angrily. She felt that she had been humiliated. Her husband had used such a tone to suspect that she would sleep with Lynch. It was unreasonable!
Gap, who was sitting in the dining room, looked at Vivian's back. He was neither angry nor happy because of her firm refutation. He just sat there quietly.
The next morning, Lynch's original plan was to pick Vivian up. However, Vivian called him in advance and told him that she would go to the company first. She asked Lynch to pick her up at the company.
At around ten o 'clock, the two boarded the train together.
It took about twelve hours to travel from Sabin to Boone. It was a long journey.
To avoid being disturbed by other people, Lynch booked a separate room.
There were two beds in the room. It was not the kind that could only fit one person. It was a big bed that was 1.5 meters long. It was a spring bed.
At first, Shi Vivian was a little embarrassed. However, when Lynch laid on the bed and began to read seriously, she felt a little embarrassed.
