I Can Control the Choices of Others! - Chapter 25
Chapter 25: Even When One Is At Home, Trouble Comes From Somewhere!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shawn was not involved with what happened in New York.
On one hand, those people were not to be trifled with. Shawn did not have the strength to deal with them yet.
On the other hand, the purslane business was already on the right track, but the potential of this industry was limited. According to Shawn’s estimation, it would only be a year or two before purslane was no longer worth hyping up.
New York Times expert Vic and Vegetable King Kevin were right, once consumers calmed down, and together with the other businessmen in New York catching up with the times, because Shawn’s location was far away, the problem of transportation costs and other related issues would cause him to drop out of the race eventually.
After all, no matter how deep their emotions were, there would come a day when the public would be completely sick of him.
Consumers were heartless and only had short-term memory, Shawn knew that very well.
Therefore, this industry did not have the potential for long-term development.
Shawn left the farm operations to his parents.
The brand’s operations were left to Jeffrey.
As for the big shots in New York, Shawn left them to Jeffrey as well.
As for their strong desire to meet Shawn, he rejected them resolutely.
Now was not the best time to meet them.
Although he was lucky and messed up these people’s arrangements, stepping on them to make a name for himself, that was also a huge problem itself.
Shawn did not believe that humans were kind in nature.
It was very likely that after he entered Wall Street, he would become their tool due to his low qualifications.
His choice control system was indeed powerful.
But it could only be used when both sides were standing on the same platform.
Otherwise, if he were to be toyed with before he could even meet the important figures, he would be doomed.
Hence, Shawn rejected the opportunity to rise to the top in a single leap. The next day, after everything was settled, he got into the car alone and went to town.
Just as he got out of the car, a pleasant voice sounded from afar.
Shawn looked over and saw Nina.
The two of them had formed a very good friendship.
Shawn had planned to have a wonderful night that night.
But considering Nina needed to return to the company to help him control the public opinion, he could only suppress his desire.
Now that all the problems were solved, he could not let this beauty slip away again!!
…
On the other side, a trap for Shawn was quietly set up.
Blair was the son of Shawn’s direct superior in the company he worked at.
He was wearing a pair of gold wire-rimmed glasses and a glossy black suit. He sat in a high-end café and sipped his coffee arrogantly.
Opposite him was Jenny, whom Shawn knew.
She was Blair’s girlfriend.
Although she was dressed normally, the aura of nobility she exuded was even stronger than Blair’s.
The two of them chatted about the purslane news.
Seeing Shawn’s familiar name, Blair smiled disdainfully. “Shawn? I thought it was the trash from the dorm.”
“Shawn?” Jenny was startled. She could not help but picture Shawn half-naked.
Then she remembered the embarrassing words she had said.
Her pale face turned red.
She did not know why she said those words.
Furthermore, whenever she mentioned Shawn, she could not help but fantasize about some embarrassing things.
Every time she thought about it, Jenny got even more nervous.
Because she was Blair’s girlfriend now.
How could she be so shameless? She was with her boyfriend but she was thinking about the guy in his dormitory.
At this moment, she could not help but think that if her father knew, he would definitely teach her a lesson.
Such a poor lad was definitely not suitable for her!
Blair had a strange expression on his face.
Looking at Jenny’s strange expression, he felt unhappy.
He thought to himself: Was there something going on between Jenny and this Shawn?
Why else would her expression change at the mention of Shawn?
Could there be something between them?
Blair’s expression turned dark as he thought of this.
Forget it if it were others, but that useless intern?
“Jenny, you’re not thinking about that Shawn, are you?” Blair’s voice instantly became lower.
“What?” Hearing Blair’s voice, Jenny suddenly reacted and hurriedly said, “No no no, I’m not familiar with that Shawn.”
Something was wrong!
Blair understood instantly.
When?
Blair could not help thinking.
It must have been when he told her to get the purse.
When she came back, he saw that something was wrong with her.
No way!!!
Could it be that the two of them…?
In a moment, Blair thought of many things.
His expression became increasingly sinister.
He never expected his woman to develop feelings for that intern trash.
He was about to question her when he suddenly recalled something.
After a moment of silence, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He thought to himself that perhaps this was an opportunity.
Looking at Jenny, Blair lowered his voice and said, “Jenny, I didn’t expect you to betray me and develop feelings for that useless Shawn. What did you guys do in the dormitory that day?”
“What?” Jenny was stunned.
She did not know what Blair meant.
She betrayed Blair?
No she did not.
Nothing happened in the dormitory.
Did Blair know what she said?
Impossible. There was no third person in the dormitory at that time.
Thinking about Shawn and Blair’s relationship,
Jenny was very certain that Shawn would not say such things to Blair.
“No, Blair, I’m not familiar with Shawn at all.” Jenny reacted and hurriedly explained, “I only met him once in the dormitory, but he was very sloppily dressed. You know I have a slight obsession with cleanliness.”
Looking at Jenny who was explaining herself in front of him, Blair knew they could not have done anything.
It would have been fine if it was any other time.
But now, Blair knew it was the best time to break up with Jenny.
After all, everyone in the company knew about his relationship with Jenny.
No matter what, he could not shrug off the reputation of a scumbag if he ditched her.
And most importantly, he could not let such negative news affect his reputation.
Therefore, Jenny had to be sacrificed instead.
As for Shawn, Blair did not care at all.
He was just an intern.
The company had no shortage of such people.
“Jenny, you know who I am. Word of what happened between you and Shawn has spread throughout the dorm. Even if I believe you, what about the others? I’m having a hard time,” Blair said in a deep voice.
“No, Blair, this has nothing to do with me. It must be Shawn. That damned pervert. He must be trying to take revenge on you. That’s why he slandered me!” Jenny suddenly thought of something.
She never doubted Blair.
Because he had no reason to do so.
But Shawn was different.
His relationship with Blair was never good.
After what she had said the other day, he had definitely let his thoughts stray and then deliberately twisted the truth to disgust Blair.
At this thought, Jenny’s image of Shawn became abysmal.
She never thought that the seemingly decent Shawn would be such a horrible person!!!
