The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 30

Everyone voiced their own opinions.

Only Lily was absent-minded. She was wondering in her heart, why did Platinum Corporation only want her? She had not even met the company’s president!

The Worship of Crystal too, who had given that to her?

Lily had a thousand questions in her heart that she could still hold on to and not think about them for the time being. However, her mind was now filled with the sight of Darryl willingly replacing her as a hostage!

It has been three days since Lily has seen Darryl. During these three days, he did not come home, how was he holding on?

Lily felt uneasy. She forced herself not to think about him, but she could not help it and her mind was full of him!

“Lilybud, what do you think?” asked Grandmother Lyndon at that moment.

“Lilybud?”

“I’m here, I’m here,” said Lily as she lifted her head, and noticed that everybody was looking at her.

“Lilybud, why are you so absent-minded?” asked Granny. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, Granny,” Lily let out a smile and shook her head, trying hard to not let herself think about Darryl.

At Platinum Corporation.

Darryl held a folder in his hand. He had done a thorough analysis of Platinum Corporation within three days. Before that, the company was managed by his aunt-in-law, but the business was not doing well due to poor management.

Last year’s gross profit was only 100 million bucks.

This amount was considered extremely low for a company like Platinum Corporation. Such a company should have a yearly gross profit of at least two billion, and even that it was considered a conservative figure.

Darryl had just become the company’s president, and he had to find a way to resolve this issue. The solution was simple, they have to style Giselle and promote her.

Giselle had great looks and an incomparable figure, and her singing was not half bad. If she was marketed good enough, she would surely be famous.

Even though Darryl no longer lived at the Lyndon’s residence, he still had some feelings for Lily. Hence, he had delegated the duty of styling and promoting Giselle to her, as a final gift for her.

According to the Lyndons’ research, Giselle should participate in ‘Superstar’.

This program was a talent show competition, akin to the ‘Super Boy’ and ‘Super Girl’ talent show series in the past years.

The show also had Platinum Corporation’s financial support as well. Darryl’s investigation revealed that the reason the company’s gross profit was low was due to its huge investment in ‘Superstar’.

The company had invested over two billion bucks into it! The show was very popular, however, its financial returns were somewhat low.

Noting that this season’s ‘Superstar’ was about to begin, Darryl had the idea to find a sponsor.

Many companies were vying to sponsor popular shows like this, and Darryl decided to give Audi the chance.

Audi had agreed to sponsor a billion bucks, on the condition that they were given a 10-minute advertisement air time per episode. Logically speaking, other companies were willing to sponsor up to 1.5 billion bucks, but Audi’s president was a good friend of Samson. As such, he awarded the opportunity to Audi as a favor to Samson.

Darryl took the folder and walked out of the company. He rode his electric bike to Audi’s head branch, wanting to negotiate a deal and it just so happened that he also wanted to buy a car.

Several luxurious cars such as Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz were parked at the entrance to Audi’s head branch. After all, those who could afford to buy an Audi were wealthy people.

Darryl parked his electric bike and walked in hastily.

Damn, it took him an hour to ride her from the company!

“Welcome, is there anything I can help you with?”

At the main hall, a woman dressed in professional attire walked up to Darryl and smiled.

The woman was pretty, she had a height of 165cm and delicate fair skin. Even though she was wearing a suit, one could easily observe that she had an amazing figure.

Audi was truly capable, even their general employee was such a beauty.

“That… I would like to buy a car.”

Darryl scratched his head and said to the woman, “I saw on TV that there’s an Audi convertible, can I see that?”

“I’m sorry, we’re on our lunch break.” The lady forced a smile and replied Darryl. She could not hide the disgust in her eyes. What luck did she have to meet such a weirdo? It was obvious to her that the person in front of her was a peasant wearing bargained clothes, and he wanted to buy a car?

Is Audi even something a loser like him could afford?

“Lunch break?” Darryl mumbled as he looked around.

That was not right, several people were looking at cars in the main hall! Of course, these customers were wearing suits and leather shoes, one look at them was enough to tell that they were rich.

“If that’s the case, why do they have people attending to them?” asked Darryl.

The lady sighed and was visibly annoyed. She was certain that the person in front of her must be a worker from the nearby factory, making use of his lunch break to come here and window-shop. Perhaps he even wanted to take a few pictures in the car so he could go back and brag. People like that were truly disgusting.

“I’m sorry sir, we’re on our lunch break. Moreover, there’s not a single car model here that’s below 300,000 bucks. If all the various expenses are accounted for, it would cost 350,000 bucks at the very least to own one. Even if you purchased in installments, the upfront cost itself is over 100,000 bucks. Moreover, the cheapest model is already out of stock at our branch. Sir, we’re on our lunch break. If there’s nothing else, please leave the premises,” said the lady, unable to hold back anymore.

Damn, this place chased people out?

Darryl was about to say something when he saw a man and a woman walking in.

Upon seeing the woman, Darryl’s fist instantly clenched tightly!

Lily?!

Darryl had only left for a few days, and there was another man by her side already?
