After getting out of the car at the dormitory, Claire simply hugged him and said goodbye to Selina before she left with her classmates.
The others also said goodbye to Luke and Selina. The girls then skipped back to their dormitories and continued talking about Batman.
Luke and Selina looked at each other with a smile, before they got into their respective cars and went home.
Just when Luke thought that his leisurely life would continue for a while longer, Jenny suddenly called him. "Luke, there's something I'd like your opinion on."
Luke said, "What is it?"
Jenny asked, "You know Senator Thompson, right?"
Luke said, "An outstanding member of the Thompson family, the female senator who's been in the limelight recently, whose support rate is rising steadily in the polls, and who's very likely to become the mayor of Los Angeles, Patricia Thompson?"
Jenny said, "That's her. Something happened in her family that might be useful to us. "
Luke asked, "What is it?"
"A niece of hers went on a trip to Europe with her classmates and is now missing," replied Jenny.
Luke was stunned. "Her niece … is rich?"
Jenny knew what he meant and said, "Yesterday, this young lady planned a trip on her own and deviated from the planned route. In the end, we can't get in touch with her. "
Luke asked, "So, Senator Thompson came to me?"
Jenny coughed awkwardly. "No, I just learned about it. This missing young lady is a major shareholder of our phone chip supplier, Island Dragon Electronics. "
Luke: "… So, if I pay her to buy something, I have to save her first?"
Jenny nodded helplessly. "We need Island Dragon's authorization to use our router technology, and we also need the company to supply the phone chips in advance so that we can produce them as soon as possible. Given Island Dragon's current production schedule, our orders are scheduled until the end of the year. "
Luke understood.
The phone company had just started production, but the order for the parts wasn't large.
It was impossible for Jenny to fully expand the production of the phones before the initial response from the market.
For a large electronic component manufacturer like Island Dragon, their production plans had been set up months or even a year ago, and they would supply the customers according to the plan.
Titanium phones were a small company that had just been established and didn't have a lot of orders. Naturally, they could only line up according to the plan.
Luke frowned and thought for a long time. He wasn't sure if he should take the job.
Most importantly, she didn't look for him. Did he … deliver himself to her doorstep?
After pondering for a while, he finally said, "If possible, it would be best for me to go to the missing lady's home first to understand the situation."
Jenny heaved a sigh of relief. "I'll contact them and get back to you as soon as possible."
After putting away the phone, Selina asked, "You're going on a business trip again?"
Luke shrugged. "Money."
Selina was curious. "Didn't you turn down Weyland's offer of five million a few days ago?"
Luke sighed. "Although I'm just giving them money, if I don't settle the matter with the phone company, it might be a long time before the phone company makes money."
Selina shook her head decisively. "Don't mention that to me. I only know how to use a cell phone. If you want to sell a cell phone, go find your mistress."
Luke was amused. "How about we go to Europe together this time?"
Selina's heart skipped a beat, but when she saw Gold Nugget in the rearview mirror, she shook her head. "Forget it. You'll be looking for someone anyway. Claire's in Los Angeles, too. Nugget and I can take care of her at home. "
After a brief silence, Luke nodded with a smile. "Okay."
When Selina mentioned Gold Nugget, she was naturally saying that it could ensure Claire's safety in an emergency.
She hadn't forgotten that there might be another earthquake in Los Angeles.
Thinking that, Luke didn't really want to go to Europe.
It didn't matter if the phone company made money a little later.
If an earthquake happened in Los Angeles, he still wanted to use his Batman identity.
Jenny, on the other hand, acted quickly. That night, she sent him a message saying that she would take him to the Thompson house the next afternoon.
Luke didn't refuse. He was still weighing the pros and cons of the situation.
During this time, he considered the situation again and again.
The possible earthquake in Los Angeles involved his Batman reputation, which could attract attention and give him a lot of experience and credit points.
But he had gained a lot from his last trip to Paris.
At that time, he didn't want his abnormality to be too obvious, and spent the next week on vacation with Elena to soothe himself. Otherwise, he would have earned even more experience and credit points.
Thinking that, Luke's hands still itched.
Also, things were different now. He subconsciously glanced at his inventory.
After the last expansion, even though Luke had put in a lot of his previous gains, it still looked empty.
Maybe he could do something when he went over this time? Luke murmured to himself.
The next afternoon, Luke and Jenny, who had just returned from a plane, got into the company car and went to the Thompson house in San Diego.
This was Malachy Thompson's house, not Senator Patricia Thompson's.
The Thompson family had branches all over the United States, and California was their home base.
But Malachy Thompson was also an influential figure in the Thompson family.
Senator Thompson, who was all-powerful in Los Angeles, was just a little sister in front of this big shot.
Luke didn't know how Jenny had gotten the chance to meet him.
Looking at her tired and nervous expression, he knew that she had put in a lot of effort.
Patting her back, he said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. Even if this doesn't work out, our phone company will still make money. Success will belong to us in the end."
Stunned for a moment, Jenny relaxed and leaned against him. "Fine, you're always so calm, as if this company doesn't belong to you."
Luke chuckled. "Do you remember when we first met? At that time, you were still a young lady. Just because you bought some weeds, you looked worried and restless. "
Jenny hit him angrily. "Don't bring that up."
But she couldn't help but laugh.
Thinking about how she and Luke had first met, and how she was working hard for the phone company now, the difference between the two was like night and day.
"Okay, maybe I'm too nervous. After all, this is my first time.
After all, this is my first time, "she said.
Luke was shocked. "What? Your first time?
Isn't that my first time? "
Stumped for a moment, Jenny then punched him several times angrily. "Hey, we're talking business."
Luke hugged her with a smile. "Did you forget what I said? Everything between the chairman and the CEO is business. "
When they arrived at the Thompson house, Jenny was in much better spirits after getting out of the car, and her nervousness had basically disappeared.
Thanks to Luke's guidance, she had taken a nap in the car just now, and was finally back to normal.
