Hearing that there seemed to be quite a few stories in Jack’s words, Lord Evans spoke up and said, “It’s okay, it doesn’t matter if it’s long, let’s talk slowly at the dinner table later.”
Lord Evans had just been on death’s door, plus favonovel.com had serious memory problems, so favonovel.com knew absolutely nothing about the most lively things in America now. However, favonovel.com had a deep understanding of Jack and knew that this kid was stubborn and could not give in at any time, so favonovel.com was even more curious about what favonovel.com had actually gone through.
Jack knew that it was impossible to explain clearly to Lord Evans in a few words, so favonovel.com said vaguely, “Okay, uncle, I won’t bother you with my little troubles, I’ll have a drink with you later!”
The Lady said, “Jack, you can’t let your uncle drink, if favonovel.com drinks again, favonovel.com might not even recognize me.”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Jack came back to his senses and said busily, “Blame me for not thinking carefully.”
Lord Evans laughed and said, “When I saw this disheveled look on your face I knew that you must have wanted to drink it yourself.”
He said to Desmond and Marcus, “Desmond, Marcus, I will not drink, but later on you two will drink some with Jack.”
The two brothers nodded, “Okay dad.”
Lord Evans looked at Jack’s unconcealed dishevelment and said in a serious manner, “Jack! Cheer up! Look at you now, you don’t have any of your old man’s heroic posture!”
Jack quickly stood up straight and said respectfully “Uncle, your criticism is…”
Desmond looked at the time and cut in and said, “Dad, why don’t we eat first and talk at the dinner table later.”
“Good.” Lord Evans nodded, “Let’s eat first.”
The top floor of the Anbang Building, with a floor area of over four thousand square meters, could normally accommodate at least a few hundred people, but this whole floor was used by Lord Evans alone in the first place. On this floor, there are not only offices, meeting rooms and other conventional office building configurations, but also swimming pools, gymnasiums, physical therapy rooms, restaurants and other living facilities.
In fact, Lord Evans did not intend to use such a large area as his own office, but his eldest daughter Lily in the planning of the building set aside this floor for favonovel.com and personally did the interior according to his preferences, so Lord Evans has very deep feelings.
Afterward, the crowd moved to the dining room located in the southern part of the top floor although for Jack the relationship with the Evans Family is very good, but favonovel.com has not been to this place for many years, everything here seems to be brand new. In his heart, favonovel.com can not help but be surprised.
He couldn’t help but ask Desmond in a low voice “Desmond, this building of your family has been opened since 20 to 30 years, right? How come it’s still so new?”
Desmond whispered, “The building as a whole is very well maintained. Basically every two to three years, they redecorate it once, this floor gets a daily maintenance. Since the death of my sister, the old man gave an order, for anything here, it is not allowed to change the pattern, so you can see everything on this floor, there are at least several sets of brand new spares, some of the things that have been discontinued, but they specifically spend a lot of money to hire artisans to replicate.”
Desmond pointed to the carpet on the corridor and said, “This carpet under your feet, hand-woven by Iranian craftsmen. It is similar to the kind used in the Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi. The cost of a square meter is nearly 10,000 dollars. Dad had people invite more than 100 craftsmen from Iran to make one according to the carpet left by my sister, now there are a dozen sets woven which are changed every year.”
Jack listened to the staggering words and could not help but say, “Your family really does not treat money as money… 10,000 U.S. dollars for a square meter of carpet that has to be replaced after a year… this money is thrown out, without a second thought!”
Desmond said seriously “Jack, when it is about money, only look at the amount, not the proportion, that is a rogue.”
Jack was surprised and asked, “What do you mean?”
