MRS. AND MR. SMITH - Season 1 Episode 71

Hearing Ethan Smith’s words, Leonard Schultz fell silent.

He took a couple of sips of wine and didn’t speak for a long time.

“Mr. Schultz, if it’s a difficult matter, then forget I mentioned it.” Ethan Smith raised his wine glass and said in a jovial tone.

“No, no, no.” Leonard Schultz rapidly shook his head, “Mr. Smith, you misunderstood, the Hill family is indeed a major client of our bank, but I have veto power.”

“Stephen Hill is coming to our bank tomorrow. So, you accompany me to see him tomorrow.” Leonard Schultz proposed, raising his wine glass.

Ethan Smith quickly nodded and said, “Thank you very much, Mr. Schultz!”

“Mr. Smith, please don’t mention it, it’s a small matter.” Leonard Schultz said with a smile.

Without this loan, the Hill family’s financial chain will break, and at that time, the Hills will self-destruct.

After the meal, Ethan Smith left the Schultz residence with Edward Green.

“With this herb, along with the one that Anson Gutierrez gave me, perhaps this time I can try to impact the Foundation Establishment Stage directly.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

This couldn’t help but get him a little excited.

Although the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Qi Refining Stage are only one level apart, the strength between them is vastly different.

The more Ethan Smith thought about it, the more excited he got. He couldn’t wait to find out what kind of power the Foundation Establishment Stage would bring.

Ethan Smith and Edward Green found a hotel and booked a room.

Just then, Ethan Smith’s phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the phone, Ethan saw it was a call from Ada Pauley.

Upon answering the call, Ada’s pleasantly surprised voice came through, “Ethan Smith, I have good news for you. My cousin has already helped me arrange a job. I can go for an interview tomorrow!”

“Really? Congratulations.” Ethan Smith replied with a smile.

Ada made a sound of agreement before suggesting, “Ethan Smith, if you’re free, let’s go out for a walk?”

Ethan Smith frowned slightly and declined immediately, “Sorry, I’m a bit busy right now, I’m afraid I can’t make it.”

Ada said with a tinge of regret, “Well okay then, we’ll make plans another day.”

After hanging up the phone, Edward Green teased, “Mr. Smith, we’re not doing anything right now, why did you refuse her?”

Ethan Smith sighed, “I don’t want to get too close with any woman other than Miss Taylor.”

Edward Green rolled his eyes, “Are you overthinking? She just arrived in this city and doesn’t know anyone.”

“Perhaps.” Ethan Smith responded with a chuckle.

That night, Ethan Smith went to bed early.

These past days had been so busy that Ethan hadn’t had a good rest for a long time, so he slept soundly that night.

The next day.

Ethan Smith woke up early and prepared for his visit to Chuzzle Bank.

He wanted to bring Edward Green along, but Edward was still fast asleep, so Ethan decided not to disturb him.

After leaving the hotel, Ethan Smith hailed a taxi and headed straight to Chuzzle Bank.

As the largest bank in Chuzzle province, Chuzzle Bank naturally had an endless stream of customers.

Reportedly, their deposit volume is among the top nationwide.

At the entrance, various luxury cars such as Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Maybach, and others were parked, all of them business models, reflecting the status of Chuzzle Bank in the eyes of businessmen.

Just as Ethan Smith was about to enter the bank, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

“Ethan Smith? You’re here too!” Turning around, Ethan saw Ada Pauley standing with a man.

Ethan Smith asked with a hint of surprise, “Ada Pauly? What are you doing here?”

Ada Pauley replied with a grin, “I’m here to work. Today, my cousin will take me to meet their manager to process my onboarding.”

“Are you? Aren’t you here to work too?” Ada Pauley asked in return.

Ethan Smith shook his head, “No, I’m here to see the bank president.”

“See the bank president?” Before Ada could respond, her cousin began to laugh.

“Friend, you’re joking, right? Do you know the status of Chuzzle Bank’s president?” her cousin said, shaking his head.

Ethan Smith just smiled and didn’t explain.

“Ethan Smith, if you’re looking for a job, my cousin might be able to help.” Ada suggested with a laugh.

“Great, thank you very much,” Ethan replied nonchalantly.

The three of them chatted while walking towards Chuzzle Bank.

From the conversation, Ethan learned that the man’s name was Jaiden Lee, Ada’s cousin on her uncle’s side.

To help Ada find a job, Jaiden had pulled many strings to meet with the manager of Chuzzle Bank.

As Leonard Schultz hadn’t arrived yet, Ethan Smith, having nothing else to do, followed Ada into the manager’s office.

“Don’t say a word in there. Manager Russell is a big shot. We mustn’t offend him.” Jaiden warned them before entering the office.

Ada quickly nodded and said, “I know, cousin. Don’t worry.”

“You as well.” Jaiden glanced at Ethan Smith and said.

Ethan Smith nodded in acknowledgment.

After these words, the group entered the manager’s office.

Upon entering, they saw the manager holding a professionally dressed woman in his arms. When the woman saw Ethan and the others, she quickly got off the manager’s lap.

“What’s with you, don’t you know to knock before entering!” Manager Russell said with a hint of annoyance.

Jaiden quickly laughed respectfully, “I’m sorry, Manager Russell. We were careless.”

Manager Russell waved his hand, looked at the woman in professional attire, and said, “You should go out first.”

“Alright, Manager Russell.” The woman in professional attire nodded and left the office.

After she left, Jaiden pulled Ada in front of Manager Russell.

“Manager Russell, this is my cousin, Ada Pauley. I mentioned her to you last time.” Jaiden said, nodding and bowing.

Manager Russell looked at Ada, and a flash of light appeared in his eyes.

What a beautiful woman!

“This is your cousin?” Manager Russell quickly put on a different expression.

“Oh my, she’s very pretty.” Manager Russell looked at Ada with a lewd expression.

Ada hurriedly said, “Nice to meet you, Manager Russell.”

“Oh, don’t be so formal. Have a seat!” Manger Russell personally stood up and led Ada to a seat.

“Little Ada, how many people are in your family? Where do you live? How old are you this year?” Manager Russell held Ada’s hand, asking these questions with a lewd smile.

Ada’s face showed a bit of embarrassment. She quickly pulled her hand away and answered Manager Russell’s questions in succession.

However, Manager Russell once again took Ada’s hand and said with a lewd smile, “You don’t have to call me Manager Russell. Just call me Brother Russell. Little Ada, if you’re free tonight, how about we go out for a meal together?”

Ada replied awkwardly, “Manager Russell, I don’t think… that’s necessary…”

“Why are you shy? It’s perfectly normal for a brother to treat you to a meal…” Manager Russell said while moving his hand toward Ada’s leg.

“Manager Russell!” Jaiden saw this and cried out urgently.

But Manager Russell ignored him. Without further ado, he reached out and placed his hand on Ada’s leg.

Ada knocked Manager Russell’s hand away, stood up and said, “Manager Russell, please behave yourself!”

Seeing Ada’s attitude, the smile on Manager Russell’s face gradually faded.
