Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 417

"At a time like this, I could only consider the Hopper family as a whole instead of our branch or the feelings of you kids..." said Granny Hopper.

"Grandma, I understand. You don't have to explain." Patrick's voice was a little hoarse. Not only was he moved by Granny Hopper's words, but he also felt sad.

Granny Hopper nodded several times as if she had concluded what was on her mind.

Under Amelia's wistful gaze

and Patrick's complicated face, she slowly walked to the boarding gate.

"Let's go," Amelia said, looking back at Patrick.

Patrick was silent.

"Mr. Hopper, let's go home. Grandma's gone," Amelia reminded him again.

It took Patrick a long time to look away. He was like a man wandering at a crossroads. "Amelia, do you think Dad deserves forgiveness?"

Amelia pursed her lips and said, "It was not too late for him to stop before more damage is done."

At President's Office, Roxxon Corporation.

The senior manager, who was nearly strangled by Patrick yesterday, went to work without a tie today. He didn't forget to unbutton the first two buttons of his shirt when he came in to see Patrick, in case the boss was unhappy and put him on the edge of death again.

"Mr. Hopper, I've had done everything you told me to do. As you expected, all factories agree to return the drinks. Now the warehouse workers are rushing to pack up the bottles and make sure that the drinks would all be returned in a few days." After that, he nervously waited for Patrick's answer.

Patrick rubbed his eyebrows. In retrospect, he realized that even without Amelia's reminding, Ryan could still have figured out the way to renting factories in such a short time.

Amelia's warning had only served to prepare Ryan in advance.

So, in the end, it was he who had been thoughtless and had no one to blame for the loss. Only a coward will never stop making excuses for his failure.

"Well, you've done a good job. You may go now."

"Okay... Mr. Hopper, excuse me."

After closing the door, the senior manager let out a sigh of relief. He had expected himself to be yelled at by Patrick instead of being praised. What a miracle.

After the manager left with gratitude, the secretary opened the door and walked in.

She had witnessed all the changes that had happened in the past two days and certainly knew that Patrick was not as carefree as he looked. So she was more cautious when doing her jobs. "Mr. Hopper, these are the poverty-stricken villages that have just been listed in the poverty alleviation program this year. Would you like to have a look at them now?"

Patrick put down his hand on his forehead, revealing his handsome face to the secretary. "Bring it to me."

The secretary handed him the file and said with mixed feelings, "Presidents of Roxxon used to donate money to these poor villages at the end of the year. When your father was in office, he often delivered goods to the poor himself."

The company's public image needed to be maintained. And undoubtedly, the best move was to help those in need.

"Got it." Then she left.

After dealing with two matters in a row, Patrick turned his chair and stared at the falling snow outside the window, losing in thought.

Time passed so fast. In the blink of an eye, it was now three days before Christmas.

Today, all the employees in Roxxon paid no attention to their jobs. Instead, they were thinking about things such as end-of-year bonuses, going home, or where to celebrate Christmas.

Seeing Lily and Amelia return to the department from the morning meeting, everyone rushed over and waited with sparkling eyes for the news they had brought back.

"Everyone, here are our benefits during Christmas..." Lily paused for a while. Seeing that everyone was holding their breath, she continued, "The senior managers have decided to provide special flights for those who have difficulty getting home. If you are far from home and couldn't get a ticket, don't worry!"

"Wow!" It was good news. Many heaved a sigh of relief.

After solving the problem of going home, everyone began to care about other benefits. "Lily, Amelia, what about our bonuses. What did Mr. Hopper say?"

Lily looked at Amelia with a smile and said, "Amelia will tell you."

Amelia followed, "Because we've solved the problem of lack of customers in the early stage of our new products, our department's year-end bonus would be 5% higher than the previous year's."

"Yes!" Many screamed in excitement. It was going to be a perfect Christmas!

A female employee couldn't help saying, "Since Mr. Hopper took office, we got physical check-ups twice a year and new uniforms. We also have free flights home for Christmas. And our end-of-year bonus is much more than before. I'm willing to work in such a company even if I have to work so hard for the rest of my life!"
