Chapter 677
North Star Group headquarters.
This was Ricky's first year as the patriarch of the Lockwood family.
However, in fact, Ricky had been managing the family matters by his father's side since three years ago.
Most of the time, Ricky's father was there in presence only. Many important matters and decisions were decided by Ricky.
Finally, after the new year, Ricky's father left the business to Ricky and went off somewhere with Ricky's mother.
Ricky sat before the spacious office table, carefully handling the documents in his hands.
Occasionally, Ricky would look up at the young man sitting on the sofa in the office.
The young man's appearance was a combination of all the merits of his father and mother. The young man's beautiful eyes were like his mother's. They were a pair of captivating eyes.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
When the young man focused his attention on someone, it made them feel like they were being gazed at with deep affection.
The young man was already so charming at such a young age. When he grew up, countless girls would be mesmerized.
Ricky looked at the young man gently and dotingly as he called out, Ollie!"
The young man raised his head. His exquisite and charming face still had the immaturity of youth. The young man put down the book in his hand and looked at his brother in an obedient and cute manner. A smile flashed in Ricky's eyes. "You've been reading for forty minutes. Take a break first."
"Okay." Ollie obediently put down the book.
Ricky waved at Ollie.
Ollie got up and obediently walked to his brother's side.
Ricky smiled and said, "Come and help me deal with these documents."
The young man lowered his eyes and looked at the documents on the table. His long eyelashes fluttered as he said embarrassedly, "Brother, but I don't understand these documents."
"I can teach you. You're so smart. You'll learn it easily," Ricky said with a smile.
"But... I still have homework to do," Ollie said obediently.
Everyone knew that Ollie was an outstanding student in the eyes of the teachers, and an obedient child in the eyes of his parents, siblings and all the elders.
Even in the eyes of passers-by, Ollie was a good-looking and polite young man.
Ricky reached out and rubbed Ollie's curly hair. Ricky smiled and said, With your intelligence, you can take on both tasks. I learned these from Dad when I was fifteen years old." Ollie nodded obediently. He looked really guileless.
Ricky's eyes lit up. Ricky's father might have left the work to him, but Ricky believed that he would be able to liberate himself because he had such an obedient younger brother! He could definitely do it!
Ricky thought to himself, and his smile became even gentler.
"Come, Ollie, sit down. Let me ask you, do I dote on you?"
Ollie nodded seriously. His smile was very cute and obedient.
"Help me then. Learn together with me," Ricky said.
This twenty-year-old youth, or rather, young man, might have the vigor and aggressiveness of a young man on his young face, but he had enough patience when it came to scheming against his younger brother.
In a few years, Ricky would dump the burden on Ollie. As Ollie's brother, Ricky could take a back seat and retire in his prime!
Ricky would definitely be able to realize this beautiful dream. When the time came, the expressions on his grandpa and father's faces would definitely be very interesting.
It was as if Ollie had no idea what his brother was thinking. Ollie obediently sat beside his brother like he did as a young boy, and learned from Ricky.
Fifteen minutes later, Ricky said, "Ollie, do you understand what I said just now?"
Ollie blinked blankly. "I think I understand, but I'm not really sure."
Ricky was stunned for a moment before he explained once more.
Another fifteen minutes passed. "Ollie, do you understand now?"
Ollie raised his exquisite face and looked at his brother. However, Ollie's beautiful eyes looked confused.
"Brother, I don't think I understand anymore," Ollie said, bowing his head guiltily.
Ricky, the young new patriarch, was speechless.
Unwilling to give up, Ricky explained once more.
"Ollie, this time..."
Looking down, Ollie tried his best to open his eyes wide and listen, but his eyes were empty. He was obviously distracted.
Ricky started to feel uncertain. How could his genius younger brother, who had an extremely high IQ and outstanding memory, not understand the contents of this document?
Ollie seemed to have snapped out of his reverie and immediately apologized guiltily. "I'm sorry, Brother. I seemed to have been distracted just now..."
Seeing Ollie's guilty expression, Ricky's heart ached. Ricky had doted on his younger brother since he was young. Ricky could not bear to see Ollie disappointed and sad. "It's fine, it's fine. Take it slow in the future!"
Ollie hesitated for a moment. "Brother, don't you think that managing the family also requires talent?"
Ricky felt a chill in his heart. This couldn't be true, right?
Ricky silently sized up Ollie a few times. Ollie looked like such a smart child. This shouldn't be so...
However, seeing Ollie's innocent look, Ricky really couldn't bear to be too hard on him. Ricky sighed and said, "Go and play first."
"Okay, I'll go out then."
Ollie turned around and walked out. He blinked his beautiful eyes and hid the craftiness in his eyes. He put on that obedient, slightly silly and guileless look again. Ollie thought to himself, "I'm sorry, Brother. I don't want to manage the family either."
When Ollie reached the door, he thought of something and asked, "Brother, when is Sister coming back?"
Ollie missed his sister.
Ricky said, "She probably won't be back for a while. Your sister said that she found a few special experimental subjects."
"Well..." The young man left in disappointment.
It was summer vacation, and Ricky took Ollie to the company to teach him for a few days. Seeing that Ollie really did not have any talent in this aspect, Ricky could only sigh and let him leave.
Upon regaining his freedom, Ollie went to Southeast Aelinne the next day. Underground boxing arena.
Amid the noisy crowd, two boxers were fighting crazily in the high arena.
In the private room on the top floor, the manager of the boxing arena bowed respectfully and said to the young man in front of him who had his back towards the manager, "Sir,
the famous boxing king, Hedies
fighting in the finale boxing match téday. His opponent is the promising new boxing champion, Poison Eagle.
"Poison Eagle?"
The young man's childish but pleasant voice sounded with a hint of playfulness.
"Yes, Poison Eagle," the manager said.
The young man turned around and looked at the manager. The black butterfly mask covered half of his face. One could vaguely see the young man's beautiful and dangerous eyes behind the mask.
This young man was really mysterious.
The manager only knew that the young man was the young heir of Strix”, but he felt that the young man's identity was far more complicated than that
