Start from the old nine gates

Chapter 45
Malibu, the top financial rich area

Located in western Los Angeles County, it is bounded by the Santa Monica Mountains to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the north.

The beach here does not have the hustle and bustle of Santa Monica, the luxury of Rodeo Street in Beverly Hills, and the variety of Venice Beach.
The only thing that impresses me is the tranquility, wild freedom, and the ubiquitous seagulls, wild ducks, and egrets.

In a corner of Malibu, a luxurious manor stands quietly.

This is the residence of the Garcetti family.

Garcetti family

A young and dynamic political family.

The Garcetti family won two consecutive governorships, making it from an ordinary political family to a top wealthy family.

Edgar Garcetti, the current governor of California, hurried back from the state capital to the family manor regardless of the elegant etiquette.

"Father, you."

Seeing his father's jet-black hair and sharp-edged, resolute face, Edgar came to the living room with an incredulous look on his face.

"Could it be that what you said, father, is true, that there really is such a pill as Shiquan Dan?"

"Look at this."

Eric looked up and handed him an inspection report.

Edgar took it over and quickly flipped through it. Looking at the content above, the surprise in his eyes became more and more intense, and finally his breathing became rough...

After 10 minutes, Edgar put down the report in his hand.

"Father, we must find a way to keep this elixir in our own hands."

His tone was extremely firm, and his eyes were full of greed. Edgar, who had read the report, clearly knew what the existence of Shiquan Dan meant.

It is even possible to use this elixir to become a chaebol comparable to the Rockface family.

"Don't you think the other party doesn't know its value?"

Eric lowered his eyes, making it difficult to figure out his emotions at this time, "They traded a pill for a research institute, what do you think they are for?"

"They are developing a new medicine." Edgar was startled when he said this, "Father, you mean that there is a mysterious organization behind them."

"That's right." Eric narrowed his eyes, "This also shows that they are not alone, and the Shiquan Dan in front of them may not be their best thing."

"Such a mysterious organization is by no means as simple as you and I imagined. Now the other party suddenly exchanged Aude Times Pharmaceutical Company for a biological research institute."

"What do you say the other party's purpose is?"

"Father, what you mean they mean us."

Edgar immediately reacted.

"That's right, as we are the largest shareholder of Aude Times Pharmaceutical Company, the purpose of the other party is naturally obvious." Eric said in a flat tone.

"In this case, they should want to use our influence in the government in California."

Having said that, Edgar already understood what his father Eric meant.

"Father, let's go now."

"First provide some simple help temporarily, so that the other party can see our sincerity."

"I see, father."

Time flies, and 10 days are fleeting in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the door of the manager's office of Aode Times Pharmaceutical Company was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit with a gloomy face came rushing in.

"Austin, what are you doing?"

Startled by the sudden opening of the door, Evan raised his head and asked angrily, "Do you know that this is the general manager's office? Don't you even know that you need to knock before entering?"

"Of course I know what I'm doing, but you, as the manager of the company, actually sold Aide Biological Research at a low price of 150 million US dollars. Do you know what you're doing?" Austin said viciously , and threw a piece of information onto the table in front of Evan.

As the deputy manager of Aude Times Pharmaceutical Company, Austin has been coveting the position of manager for a long time, but Evan has always done things in an orderly manner, without leaving a trace of opportunity.

So Austin was like a cold poisonous snake, quietly staying in the corner, waiting to give the opponent a fatal blow, and today he finally waited for this opportunity.

Selling assets at a low price, embezzlement and accepting bribes, these two alone are enough for the other party to spend the rest of his life in prison. Austin has even imagined the scene of the other party crying and begging for mercy.

"Kerry, you told him about me!"

Evan's face was very calm, but he turned his head to look at a figure with his head bowed deeply next to Austin. Although the other person lowered his head, Evan had already recognized the other person, Kaili, Evan's driver.

Only Carey can know Evan's every move.

"Manager, don't blame me. Mr. Austin has promised me to be his assistant." At this moment, Carey summoned up his courage and said.

"Manager Evan, you don't need to pretend anymore. I have submitted your matter to all the shareholders. I believe the police will come to take you away soon." Austin looked at Evan who remained calm and sneered.

However, after waiting for a long time, the police didn't come, but a resolution from the board of directors brought by Assistant Ariel, the content of which was also very simple.

Just a simple dismissal notice.

"How is this possible?" Austin snatched it and announced, looking at the content above, with an unbelievable face, and said loudly.

Evan stood up calmly, and said lightly: "Why do you have to be punished for doing something wrong?"

Then he walked out from among the few people without pausing at all.

Austin stood there dumbfounded, thinking wildly in his head, trying to search for answers, but he still couldn't think of the key point of the question.

On the contrary, Evan walked down with a leisurely expression, and he didn't feel like he was fired.

"Manager Evan, wait a minute."

When he was about to walk out of the company gate, Manhattan hurried over, "Mr. Evan, what happened, I heard that you were fired as soon as I came out."

Evan turned his head and looked at Dr. Manhattan who was running over and gasping for breath. He couldn't help showing a smile on his face, "It's nothing, I'm willing to go."

"Mr. Evan, I don't believe you would do such a thing."

Seeing what Manhattan was still trying to say, Evan interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Are you free? Let's chat."
