“It’s just a win-win situation. I also have a lot of shares in your company,” Mike replied with a smile.
George Jr. has entrepreneurial ability, which was something Mike valued in him.
Moreover, Mike also received 49% of the tire company's stock, meaning that the more successful George Jr.'s business was, the more Mike would gain.
"Alright, Mike just got here, let's stop chatting outside. Let's come inside and sit down..." Seeing the two young men chatting endlessly, George's father stepped forward and called to his son.
Then, he hugged Mike to welcome him.
His heart problem has been resolved, and he now looks rosy-cheeked and in excellent condition.

Chapter 473 A Happy Family
After exchanging greetings with the Cooper family who came to greet him, Mike was warmly invited into the new home of George's father and others.
This is also a detached residential building, with two floors, and its layout is much larger than the Cooper family's house in Texas.
It's just that we only moved in recently, so the house still feels a bit messy.
"Missi, we agreed to a fair competition for the room, so open the door now..."
"Isn't this fair competition? I took this room first, so it's mine to use from now on..."
"No, this is not fair at all. As civilized people, we should decide who owns the room by testing our intelligence..."
"I don't have time for you, don't bother me~"
……
Having two children who don't get along often leads to some unexpected "surprises".
Sure enough, as soon as Mike and the others entered the house, they heard Sheldon and Missy arguing from the second floor.
It seems they were arguing about the room.
"Shelly, Missy, didn't I tell you Mike was coming over today? Get down here right now..." As a housewife, Mary felt embarrassed by this situation, and her temper flared up without her realizing it.
Old George, the head of the family, seemed unconcerned about the matter and simply watched the spectacle from the sidelines.
“Mike’s here, open the door quickly. Otherwise I’ll tell him you’re a violent woman…” At the second-floor door, Sheldon’s eyes lit up, and he began to devise a plan.
He clearly knew that Missy was interested in Mike, so he wanted to knock on the door in Mike's name.
However, he seemed to have underestimated how much Missy valued Mike.
Missy, who was in the room at that moment, was indeed very nervous when she heard that Mike had arrived, but what she was nervous about was her makeup.
Women dress up for those they want to please.
Therefore, Sheldon waited at the door for several seconds without receiving a response, and reluctantly went downstairs at his mother's urging.
“Mike, do you know what? I’m going to be attending Caltech this fall. Their president personally invited me…” When Sheldon came downstairs and saw Mike, he immediately adopted a haughty demeanor.
Caltech may not be as famous as Columbia University, but its university ranking is still quite high.
In some fields, it's even better than Columbia University.
Being invited by such a group of university presidents made Sheldon feel very honored.
Furthermore, showing off in front of the right people greatly satisfied his vanity.
“Congratulations!” Mike said with a smile. “It’s a bit of a pity though, Peggy and I have already graduated from university, otherwise we could have exchanged information about the teaching quality of our respective universities.”
"W-what? You've already graduated?" Sheldon, who had been about to boast about his outstanding performance at this year's inter-university summer camp and how he was noticed by Caltech, froze on the face.
He was interrupted halfway through his act, leaving him with a frustrating feeling of abruptly ending the performance.
“Yeah, didn’t Peggy mention it to you when we met before? We’ve both completed four years of university courses in half a year, and now we’re just waiting for our PhD spots.” Mike said with a smile, which was tantamount to stabbing Sheldon in the heart again.
And you know what? With his dad "taking care" of him, young Sheldon is much more lively than I expected, and he's quite fun to tease.
Moreover, the little guy's smug expression was written all over his face, and even without his mind-reading ability, Mike knew that the other party wanted to show off.
Isn't this a perfect opportunity?
Although Mike didn't put much effort into his studies, his learning experience is still something to brag about.
This is normal communication...
"Alright, Shelley, go see why Missy hasn't come down yet." Mary, who had watched the whole thing, felt a little sorry for her youngest son, so she gave him a way out.
“Oh, Missy…she must be nervous because Mike is coming.” Heldon’s confidence returned at the mention of Missy.
Just as he was about to say a few bad things about Mike, Missy, who had dressed up carefully, came downstairs.
Girls change a lot as they grow up.
More than half a year had passed since I last saw her, and Missy had completely changed. Now nearly 1.7 meters tall, she had lost the baby fat and immaturity from her face.
She also has a pair of long legs, and in terms of size, they're no less impressive than Caroline's.
"Mike, Mike, long time no see!"
For some reason, when Missy met Mike this time, she seemed a bit awkward as soon as she opened her mouth.
While speaking, his eyes darted around, giving the impression of insecurity.
This contrast is abrupt and obvious.
Seeing her two children make a fool of themselves in front of Mike, Mary felt a little embarrassed, but she still tried to make amends for her daughter, saying, "Missie, are you feeling unwell?"
When his mother asked him that question, Missy, who was already nervous, froze on the spot, his ears turning bright red with embarrassment.
He looks just as blank as he did when he was a child...
“I know what’s wrong with her…” Little Sheldon finally found his chance to get revenge for taking the room, and said smugly, “The book says that when animals are in heat, they secrete a female hormone. Missy’s current condition is just like that of a female monkey in heat…”
"Shut up, Shirley!" x2
George and his wife never imagined that their youngest son would make such an inappropriate remark at such a time.
As people who have been through similar experiences, both of them could see that their daughter's strange "behavior" seemed to be related to Mike's arrival.
They're teenagers, so it's understandable.
And Mike is so outstanding.
However, it's not appropriate to be so direct and bring up these kinds of girlish thoughts in front of the person involved.
Otherwise, it would not only be very awkward, but it might also hurt the girl's self-esteem.
"How could you say that about Missy?" Mary's face turned serious.
"I knew it... who told her to take my room..." Sheldon continued defiantly, "She's a horny, slutty monkey..."
Now, even if Missy wanted to maintain a ladylike image in front of Mike, she was furious with Sheldon.
It has exceeded the limit of tolerance.
"You're the monkey!" Finally, Missy exploded, baring her teeth and claws as she charged at Sheldon.
As everyone knows, Missy has never won in a battle of wits within the Cooper family, but Sheldon has never won in a battle of strength either.
Seeing danger approaching, young Sheldon took off running.
"Stop right there!" Missy, who was chasing after him, spoke normally and moved normally.
Then, everyone saw the two chase each other and disappear around the corner on the second floor.
"Well, he's just a kid, it's good for him to be lively~" Seeing that his wife was about to explode with anger, George's father quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
While speaking, he didn't forget to crack a couple of dry laughs to warm up the atmosphere.
“They are indeed quite lively,” Mike agreed with a smile.
As guests today, the Georges would feel much better if Mike didn't seem to mind.
After being comforted by George and his wife, Mary quickly forgot about the children's rudeness.
"Please have a seat, I'll go prepare dinner for you." Mary, now in a better mood, pulled Mandy, George's wife, into the kitchen.
"This little guy is really clingy to you..."
After only little George and a few others were left in the living room, they looked at their one-year-old child, who kept reaching out to Mike for a hug.
So, little George took the opportunity to put the little guy in Mike's arms.
Sure enough, the little guy stopped fussing after being in Mike's arms.
After playing with the little guy for a while, Mike turned to George's dad and asked casually, "By the way, George, what are you planning to do in the future?"
Strictly speaking, after getting married, George Jr. had already separated from the Cooper family.
The Coopers, who had just moved to a new place, found that neither of them had a job.
Therefore, if George's father is interested, Mike wouldn't mind helping him find a job so he can support his family.
"I've already contacted the Caltech football team, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll continue as their football coach," George said with a smile, revealing his plans.
In fact, as a high school football coach, George's dad has achieved a lot at Melford High School over the past few years. If it weren't for his health issues, he might already be a college football coach.
It's like going back to the old ways now.
"That's good. If you need any help, feel free to contact me anytime," McDormand said.
Given the relationship, he wouldn't mind helping the Cooper family a little more.
“It’s okay, with me here, Dad can continue to pursue his dreams.” Little George, standing to the side, made the same assurance in a joking tone.
As long-time Texas residents, the Cooper family has a very strong sense of family. Even after George Jr. got married, he is still considered part of the Cooper family.
As a family member, he would naturally share the burden with George and his wife.
……
Chapter 474 The Smoker
Before dinner began, Missy returned to the living room, followed by a dejected Sheldon.
Clearly, in this "battle," Sheldon Jr. was once again suppressed by force.
After the previous little incident, Missy's nervousness subsided, and she was at least able to face Mike normally.
The harmonious atmosphere continued until the end of dinner. During the meal, Mike told the Cooper family about Grandma Connie's recent situation.
So that they don't have to worry about the elderly's lives.
“There are plenty of empty rooms in the house; you can rest here for the night,” Old Man George suggested to Mike and Nydy after the sumptuous dinner.
“Yes, if you don’t like it here, I have spare rooms for you,” little George also said, trying to persuade you to stay.
The reason is that Mike's schedule is too rushed; he has only been here for a short while and is already leaving again.
"No need," Mike shook his head slightly and said, "I have important business in California, and I also have a place to stay tonight..."
"I will visit you again after I finish my business."
Mike, who was determined to leave, secretly cast a protective buff on the Cooper family as he said goodbye.
"Alright then, the Cooper family welcomes you anytime."
Seeing that the other party was determined to leave, George's father and the others did not try to stop him and waved goodbye to Mike.
Not far from Cooper's new house, an employee of the King Group was waiting to deliver the car keys to Mike.
Because of Mike's previous plans for King Investment Company, Chris developed some properties in California.
Therefore, King Investment Company has a subsidiary here in California.
"Take me to the Hollywood film set to find Kate..." Mike handed the car keys to the cold-faced woman, Nydy, after getting the car keys from the employee.
Mike's next plan was to find Kate before dark and give her a protective buff as well.
After resting for a night, I will contact Constantine again.
"That car isn't cheap..."
After watching Mike leave, George's father looked at his eldest son and asked, "Do you know what Mike has been doing these past two years?"
As a father, how could George not see that his youngest daughter was interested in Mike?
However, after these two encounters, he couldn't quite understand Mike anymore.
