Tony William
Selina sat at her desk and looked out the window at the blue sky. Today, it was the one month anniversary of her joining Golden Corporation.
'One month, time flies.' She muttered to herself. This month was very tiring, during the day she had to follow her teacher to learn about investment and finance, and at night she had to go back and read the company's investment reports. This month, she also seldom saw Adam, Adam went to the United States on a business trip, and was said to be preparing to open a new business segment in which. He only came back yesterday.
Just then, Fu walked into Selina's office.
'Silvia, are you free after work?' Fu asked with a smile.
Selina was a bit surprised, 'Free, Manager Fu, what's up?'
'There's a social engagement tonight, it's to finance Golden Corporation's acquisition of the largest port in the Southeast, billions of dollars. The evening party will be attended by William Jones of South River Bank.Adam said to bring you along. You get ready.' Fu said.
Selina's mood was instantly excited. She didn't expect that she would be able to attend such a high-level party just a month after she joined the company.
'Okay okay.' She nodded her head repeatedly in excitement as she was a bit in disbelief.
-------------------------------------------------------
The skyline of South River City looks magnificent at sunset, and the South River Hotel, a landmark building in the city centre, glows in the evening sun. Its exterior is adorned with magnificent lights and its interior is lavishly decorated, revealing nobility and class in every detail.
Inside the ballroom of South River Hotel, the lights are bright and the music is melodious. As a representative of Golden Corporation, Adam was surrounded by several business leaders who were talking about the changes in the world of business and exchanging ideas and strategies. Although their words are full of politeness and courtesy, behind every word there is a sharp business wisdom and strategy.
Golden Corporation, as the first party, is an important source of profit for South River Bank, and Golden Corporation's recent planned acquisition of a port project, with its huge capital requirements, makes them in urgent need of South River Bank's support.
The president of South River Bank also understands what Golden Corporation's partnership means to the bank. It was not just a simple loan, but a great opportunity to enhance the bank's position and expand its reach.
Selina, as Adam's assistant, who was wearing an elegant evening dress, stood quietly in a corner of the banquet hall, observing all this. She knew her status and position, so she didn't interject too much, just silently learning and absorbing the wisdom of these mall elites.
As the atmosphere of the banquet grew warmer, Selina felt a little tired, she quietly exited the banquet hall and went to the balcony, wanting to get some air and relax her mind. On the balcony, the evening breeze brushed lightly, starlight dotted the night sky, and the lights of the city mirrored the starlight in a mesmerisingly beautiful way.
Selina leaned against the railing and took a deep breath, feeling the peace and beauty. She couldn't help but sigh that compared to her previous difficult life, everything now was like being in heaven. She felt very satisfied with her life and was full of expectations for the future.
Just then, she noticed that at the other end of the balcony, there was a young man standing there quietly, his eyes on Selina.This young man was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, tall and handsome, with a hint of cynicism in his eyes.
He was wearing a casual suit, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and did not look as formal as the other guests. He looked at Selina with a flash of interest in his eyes.
He walked towards Selina, his pace easy and with an air of calmness. He smiled and said to Selina, 'Miss, enjoying the night view here alone, aren't you afraid of being lonely?'
He turned to face Tony Jones and she responded politely, 'I just wanted a bit of fresh air, the night view here is truly beautiful.'
He moved closer, a hint of provocation in his eyes, 'Yes, the night view is beautiful, but I think it's even more beautiful with you in it.'
Selina felt a little uncomfortable, she wasn't used to this kind of flirty flirting. Trying to remain calm, she responded, 'You flatter me. I think I should go back.'
But the man didn't let her off the hook easily as he continued, 'Don't worry, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Tony Jones, and my father is William Jones.'
A flash of surprise flashed through Selina's eyes as she instantly stood up straight, her attitude changing in an instant. She realised that the young man in front of her was not only a rich kid, but also a relative of a potentially important partner of her company.
She quickly adjusted her attitude, flashed a much warmer and more professional smile, and shook Tony Jones' hand.
'Nice to meet you, Tony Jones,' Selina's voice revealed a hint of just the right amount of attentiveness, 'I'm Silvia, secretary to the chairman of Golden Corporation Adam.'
Tony Jones' eyes also revealed a hint of surprise, he did not anticipate that the beautiful woman in front of him would hold such an important position in Golden Corporation.
Tony Jones' attitude had a subtle change after he learnt that Selina was Chairman Adam's assistant. The smile on his face tightened a bit, and a glint of reassessment flashed in his eyes.Adam's reputation was as good as a thunderclap in the business world, and his tactics and accomplishments were something that no one dared to underestimate.
Since Adam's father passed away, he took over Golden Corporation in his early twenties, and under Adam's leadership, Golden Corporation not only quickly got rid of its previous decline, but also achieved an astonishing 15% compound annual growth rate of net profit in just three years, which caused a huge shock and admiration in the industry. This achievement caused great shock and admiration in the industry.
Adam's business tactics are ruthless and efficient, his decisions are decisive and he acts swiftly, and he always manages to seize the first opportunity in business battles. In the black and white and official circles, Adam also has his own unique influence and connections, these indefinable relationships provide him with strong support.
Tony Jones knows that he must be careful when dealing with people like Adam. His father, William Jones, as the president of South River Bank, had a pivotal position in the financial world, but he also had to think twice before confronting a rival like Adam.

It was then that Adam's eyes travelled through the crowd and landed on Selina. He saw the blush on her face and the way Tony Jones moved closer to her.Adam's brow furrowed slightly as he took a step towards the duo.
'So it's Tony,' the voice was Adam's, a hint of playfulness and deep meaning in his voice.
Selina's body became heavy and every movement took a tremendous amount of effort. Her fingers lightly touched her forehead, feeling the warmth coming from there. She tried to stand up, but found that her legs and feet no longer obeyed her brain.
Adam noticed Selina's strangeness, and his brow furrowed at the sight of the blush on Selina's face and the dazed look in her eyes. He gently picks her up and lets her lean gently on his shoulder.
Tony Jones looked at Adam, very surprised, obviously not anticipating that Adam would behave so flirtatiously with a female employee in public. But he quickly regained his composure and rounded off the conversation by saying, 'I didn't expect Miss Silvia's drinking capacity to be so poor, and after only two cups, she's even drunk.'
Selina stood by dizzily, she didn't realise Adam's anger.
-----------------------------------
At night in South River, the city is brilliantly lit, neon lights flashing on both sides of the street, creating a fantastic atmosphere.Adam's Rolls-Royce slowly drove on the way home, but the atmosphere inside the car is in stark contrast to the bustle outside, silent and tense.
Selina sat dizzily reclining on the back of the seat, having drunk the antidote to the wine soup, she was already much more sober. She could feel the vague anger radiating from Adam, but had no idea where it was coming from. She was apprehensive and wondered if she had done something wrong.
Adam finally broke the silence, his voice low and strong, 'Why did you drink when he told you to?' He was referring to Tony Jones' toast to Selina at the party.
Selina was a bit overwhelmed by this sudden questioning, she replied dumbly, 'I heard Fu say that the bank's co-operation is very important to us. I don't dare to offend Tony Jones. and I'm a good drinker.'
Adam's face eased a bit, he turned his head and looked deeply at Selina, then said, 'In the future, don't drink freely, especially don't drink with men.Tony Jones is one of the famous "South River Four Young Men" in South River City. '. His reputation is not good.'
Selina was a little dissatisfied when she heard this, she pouted her lips and retorted, 'Aren't you also one of the "South River Four Young Men"?' After saying that, she immediately realised that it was inappropriate for her to talk like that, her status was a subordinate, not a girlfriend.
Adam was stunned, he didn't expect Selina to ask back like this. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, he didn't answer Selina's question, but continued to drive, and the carriage once again fell into silence.
-----------------------------------
Early the next morning, Selina came to the office early, her mood was still stuck in last night's dialogue, a little uneasy. I'm not sure I won't affect my work after last night's outburst.
Soon, she saw Fu being called into the office by Adam. However, Adam's office door was very well soundproofed and she didn't realise that Adam was reprimanding Fu because of her.
In Adam's office, Adam's voice had a hint of sulkiness in it, 'Do you know that last night, you let Silvia drink alcohol which might bring her trouble?Tony Jones is not a simple character, and you, as a secretary, should know better than to protect the safety of the company's employees.'
Fu's voice, on the other hand, seemed a bit helpless, 'Adam, I just told Silvia that South River Bank is important to the company. I thought that maintaining a good relationship with Tony Jones would be beneficial to the company, and didn't think that Tony Jones would fill Selina with alcohol.'
Adam was even harsher: 'While the interests of the company are important, the safety and dignity of the employees are even more important. I hope that similar situations will not happen in the future.'
