Chapter 558Jackson’s wife replied, “How can you not know?”
“Today, some managers from your company visited our home and said that your performance in the
company was exceptional. You have been working hard without any complaints and made large
contributions to the company.”
“Because of that, the company has awarded you with a certificate of commendation and one thousand
as your reward.”
“Also, the manager has helped resolve the matter of our son’s school fees. They will contribute five
hundred every month into an education fund for him.”
What!
Jackson’s hand trembled and he almost dropped his phone.
Some company manager had visited his home, gave him a certificate of commendation, and some
bonus.
On top of that, the problem with his son’s schooling which had dogged him for many years had finally
been resolved.
Is...is this real?
Or is it just a dream? No, this was beyond what he would even dare to dream of.
Jackson’s wife continued, “Jackson, I used to look down on you and complained that you were a wimp.
But now, I realized I was in the wrong for underestimating you.”
“Going forward, I’ll take care of everything at home while you focus on your work. As long as we work
hard, our days will definitely improve.”
“Anyway, come home for lunch. I made your favorite beef brisket.”
Taking a long deep breath, Jackson tried his best to remain calm. “Honey, it’s really not a big deal. It’s
only natural for me to receive an award after working so many years in the company.”
“Honey, I...”
“What’s up with you?”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Once Jackson ended the call, he started crying non-stop without a care. It was a strange sight to
behold given that he was a large man about seven feet tall.
Over the last few years, his wife had always mocked and put him down. It was so bad that she gave
him an ultimatum where she would divorce him if he couldn’t solve their son’s schooling issue. To prevent his wife from leaving, he had to suppress his own pride and acquiesce to everything she
wanted.
Those were terrible times.
But now, his boss not only helped save his marriage but also boosted his status at home.
He was simply overwhelmed with gratitude.
With tears in his eyes, he looked at Zeke, “Boss, did you do this?”
Zeke nodded, “You deserve it.”
noveldrama“Boss...” Jackson didn’t even know how to thank Zeke. As he was about to go on his knees, he said,
“Boss, I must apologize to you for my insolence...”
Johnathan quickly helped him up. “It’s alright, Jackson. Don’t cry like a lady. Work hard from today
onwards to show your appreciation.”
Jackson replied, “Boss, from now on I will work hard and make sure I don’t disappoint you.”
At that moment, another employee with a crew-cut heard his phone ringing.
Zeke smiled at him and said, “Put in on speaker.”
Crew-cut was shocked at first but began to anticipate some good news. He quickly answered his phone. “Mom, dad, what’s with the sudden phone call?”
Over the phone, a man’s hearty laugh could be heard. “Haha, my son. You’ve really made me proud
today.”
“My son has finally made something of himself!”
Crew-cut asked curiously, “Dad, what’s going on?”
“I...Haha, I’ll let your mom fill you in. I’m still drinking with the village chief now.”
Crew-cut’s mom took over the call. “Son, you’re famous all over the village. We can now raise our
heads up high!”
Crew-cut was getting impatient. “Mom, tell me what happened.”
His mother replied, “An eviction team came to the village today to tear down some of the houses in the
village. When the villagers resisted, the team began beating them up.
“Sigh, the villagers were beaten badly.”
“Right when the eviction team was about to hit your dad, your boss suddenly came.”
“They said that your performance in the company had been exceptional and you made many important
contributions. Therefore, they would like to promote you to an officer. They also gave you a certificate
of commendation and some bonus.” “And guess what? When your boss was standing there, the eviction crew fled the scene when they saw
him.”
