BXBX NOVEL Chapter 88 - 88 Limited Opportunities
Leon’s words successfully diverted Vivian’s attention. “Yes, I have to cram more!” she said.
For the next few days, Vivian realized when she went out every day, Leon had to convince her to put on the hat before he would let her go.
After buying the books that day, other than Vivian who took the initiative to bring him out, Leon only went to the bookstore to buy books the next day. And every time he ate, he would double the food he ate. He also started to go to the hotel’s gym every day, and he was never away from the books whenever he was in his room.

Vivian couldn’t help but sneak a peek under the guise of delivering fruits. She was surprised to find that Leon had already started reading high school textbooks. She felt proud.
That day, Leon thought about it for the entire night. Now, be it his body or intelligence, he was no match for that demon. Although Simon didn’t finish high school, when it came to scheming against people, most people might not be able to beat him.
So, Leon decided first to settle down and learn knowledge, build up his body, and learn some martial arts.
There were limited opportunities. Leon was not afraid of exposing himself. He was only worried Vivian would be discovered. Fortunately, they were not often in the capital. It would be fine if they were more careful when they went out these few days.
Since the lunch with Andrew was scheduled for the afternoon, Vivian went shopping in the mall in the morning. The workers had already arrived, and the construction would be completed in four days.
The recruitment was also in progress, and each store was arranged with one store manager and four salespeople.
At the moment, the two stores in the capital have only recruited one store manager and two sales clerks. Although they were short of a few people, Vivian told Angela not to recruit too many.
Vivian arrived at the restaurant half an hour earlier with two female bodyguards. The two of them waited in the car. Vivian carried the gifts she bought and was the first to arrive at the private room Andrew had booked in advance.
The second to arrive was Fred. As the younger generation, they had to arrive early to show respect.
Ten minutes later, Andrew brought the two old men into the private room. The people behind him carried a few boxes and placed them on the sofa in the rest area.
Andrew began to give a brief introduction to Vivian and his old friends.
Because of Fred, Vivian already knew some basic information about the two of them in advance.
The chubby old man, whose cheeks would shake while smiling, with the Jade Goddess of Mercy on his neck, was Bob. His company was the famous Flagstaff Bank and was also involved in the insurance industry.
The other was a tall, thin old man with a beard and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His name was Donald, and he worked in the medical and real estate industries.
Andrew’s two old friends were both well-known entrepreneurs in the industry. If it weren’t for Vivian’s relationship with Andrew, she wouldn’t have been able to get in touch with them with her current strength. Vivian greeted them very politely and handed over her gift.
The gift Vivian gave was according to their liking. She gave Bob a bracelet made of 108 Buddha beads made of small-leaf red sandalwood. It was clear and shiny, and its unique fragrance helped with sleep, calming the mind, and stabilizing a person’s mood.
The gift he prepared for Donald was a chess piece made of ivory and nephrite. The texture was warm, the carving was exquisite, and the figure was lifelike. It was the work of master sculptor Pablo.
Vivian’s gift was welcomed by both of them, but the gift they prepared was not small either. After knowing Andrew for so many years, Donald and Bob had only seen Andrew take Fred as his only apprentice. Now that Andrew had taken in another one at her age, it could be seen how much his old friend liked Vivian.
Donald’s gift was an olive bottle made from the 18th-century Royal kiln in H Country, and Bob’s letter opener was made from 15th-century pure silver from Y Country.
Andrew and the two of them had known each other for decades, so they were more casual. This meal was mainly for Vivian to associate so he arranged for her to sit next to him.
Andrew looked at his two old friends with a smile and asked as if they were having a casual chat, “Do you know about the ” Waterfall View by the River” painting that’s been very popular recently?”
