John Clark: "Today, you write the first three chapters as an opening. Once you're done, show them to me. If they're good, we'll sign a cooperation agreement then."

Grace Foster: "Huh? We have to sign an agreement? I don't really understand this stuff, what's it about?"

John Clark: "It's just a confidentiality agreement. You can't reveal that you wrote this book, got it?"

Grace Foster: "Got it. Then I'll go to sleep now, and start working as soon as I wake up!"

After turning off WeChat, David Clark let out a long breath.

Wahahahahaha!

Bro is truly unbeatable today! A little brother just fell from the sky!

Awesome, time to sleep! The first step is already taken, now all that's missing is the startup capital. Raising a little brother takes money!

Once I wake up, I'll go find a job!

……

Early the next morning, David Clark got up bright and early.

Damn, today is my lucky day, everything is bound to go smoothly!

Yesterday was a whole day of bad luck, today I have to get it all back!

Eat, go downstairs! Into the elevator! Let's see if you can get stuck today!

"Ding dong!" Sure enough, he went downstairs smoothly! That's more like it, you know what's good for you! Then, just as David Clark stepped out of the building entrance, he was stopped by several people! One of them, clearly from property management, pointed at David Clark and shouted, "Boss, it's him!"

What the hell?! What's going on?!

David Clark instinctively prepared to run, but forced himself to hold back—wait, no! Today is my lucky day, I'm unbeatable! No matter how many come, I'll take them all!

"Yeah, it's me. So what?" David Clark looked at the group. So what if there are a lot of them? I'm not afraid today!

The leader was about forty-five or six, not very tall, maybe 1.65 meters, a bit balding, wearing a suit and glasses. He stepped forward, bowed deeply to David Clark, and then said, "こんにちは、私は明日のエレベーター会社の中には、上海の会社は、昨日エレベーターの故障の件について申し訳ないと、今日は非常に申し訳なく、今日は非常に謝罪、あなたは、お許しください."

He rattled off a bunch of words, and David Clark didn't understand a single sentence, but at least he could tell the guy was speaking Japanese.

"What the heck did he say?" David Clark looked around. "Is he trying to provoke me or what?"

At this moment, a female secretary beside the man stepped forward and translated for David Clark: "Our boss says: Hello sir, I am Yamaguchi Nakamasaru, the Shanghai district manager of Tomorrow Elevator Company. We are very sorry for the elevator malfunction yesterday, and have come today to apologize and ask for your understanding."

Eh? He came to apologize to me?

David Clark instantly felt elated!

Wahahahahahaha! I've lived for over twenty years, and this is the first time a Japanese person has ever come to apologize to me. Feels great!

"Tell him this." David Clark sniffed: "Make sure your product quality is better in the future, don't let it break down all the time. It's just that I'm easygoing—if it were someone else, your company's elevator would have to be sent back to the factory for repairs!"

The female translator quickly relayed this to the man.

The man bowed deeply to David Clark again, rattled off another string of words, and the translator said, "I understand. We deeply regret the trouble we've caused you. So today, I have specially prepared a gift for you, sir, and hope you will accept it. Once again, we apologize for our mistake."

Eh? There's even a gift?

David Clark's eyes lit up at once. "What gift? Let me see!"

The man waved his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward and handed David Clark a beautiful little box.

The translator said, "This is a special gift from our boss to you, the latest model of Zippo lighter. We hope you like it. Of course, if you don't smoke, we can offer you another gift as compensation."

"No need, this is great!" David Clark grinned as he opened the box. Sure enough, inside was a very beautiful lighter. He took it out and played with it a bit—cool!

"Since you guys are pretty sincere, I'll let it go this time." David Clark nodded grandly. "Remember to guarantee quality. In business, quality is the most important thing, understand?!"

The translator conveyed David Clark's words, the man kept nodding and apologizing, and the translator said, "Understood, thank you for your reminder. If you are satisfied with our compensation, we'll take our leave now. Wishing you all the best, goodbye."

David Clark waved his hand. "Go on."

After the group left, David Clark looked up and laughed three times—Ahahaha! Feels great!

A great start to the day!

Time to go job hunting!

Chapter 5: The Awesome Master Laughs at the Heavens

As the old saying goes, you need a stable life before you can build a career, and that's absolutely true. Especially since today is a lucky day, you have to strike while the iron is hot!

Leaving the park, David Clark headed straight for the nearest bus stop. This lucky streak really is something else—he had just arrived at the stop when the No. 233 bus to the job market pulled up. David Clark twisted his body and squeezed right on.

Wahahaha, got a seat!

As soon as he sat down, David Clark began planning out the next steps of his life.
