Therefore, before Mike could even try to persuade her to stay, Regina exchanged glances with the other two members of the "Devil Body Group".
The three girls once again tacitly surrounded Jesse.
Lina, the secretary who came along, was on Jesse's side, but she didn't really want to miss the party with Mike.
So, she quickly joined the ranks of those with devilish figures.
With the score at 1 to 4, Jesse was soon lifted up.
"Let's go, I'll reward you properly today." Mike smiled as he looked at the girls' energetic appearance and Jesse's resigned attitude.
As the elevator took us to the open area on the top floor.
Caroline, who arrived earlier, had already prepared a barbecue grill by the pool with her housekeeper team, and celebratory drinks such as champagne and red wine were laid out on the table next to it.
"The new album by the Devil Body Girls has achieved the expected results. Is there anything else going on at the company?" With no outsiders around, Mike chatted with Jesse while preparing special barbecue for the girls.
"It's MJ's new album. Promotion was originally supposed to start at the end of the year, but considering there are a few good inspirational songs on it that are relevant to the current situation, I thought I'd start promoting it a little earlier..."
Jesse analyzed MJ's new album from a professional perspective.
Furthermore, regarding the overall external situation, following the bankruptcy of Qianning Enterprises more than two months ago, banks have begun to gradually recover mortgage funds.
The chain reaction caused by this practice led many low- and middle-class people who had taken out loans to buy houses in advance to declare bankruptcy.
The situation of families being forced to repossess their homes by banks and becoming homeless is now a common sight on the streets.
In such a challenging environment, many people struggling financially need something to rely on.
Even in a spiritual sense...
Therefore, if MJ's new album can seize this opportunity, its sales should not be too bad.
Although this approach is somewhat opportunistic, it can provide spiritual support to those who are feeling lost, without harming the interests of others.
Therefore, Jesse felt that there was nothing wrong with promoting MJ's inspirational new album in advance.
Just as Jessie's topic was getting a bit heavy, the group of girls with amazing figures, who had already changed into swimsuits and splashed around in the pool, suddenly came up to Jessie in a funny way, lifted her up, and rushed into the pool.
It's late August now, and the weather is still hot.
Swimming is a great way to cool off in the summer.
Immediately following, accompanied by a loud splash, came Jesse's exasperated voice and the girls' laughter from the other side of the pool.
This time, the actions of the "Devil Body Group" and other girls were not instigated by Mike, so Jesse obviously cannot blame him.
Therefore, Mike remained uninvolved, leisurely grilling meat for the girls by the pool while smiling as he watched them play in the pool.

Chapter 520 Visiting the Entrepreneur
By the morning of the next day, the rooftop, where the revelry had lasted for most of the night, was a complete mess.
"What's wrong, something on your mind?" Mike, lying in the middle of the waterbed, turned to look at Caroline beside him and asked lazily.
After what seemed like an absurd night, the other girls are now sound asleep.
Only this former rich girl, although her eyes were closed, could be told from her breathing that she was not asleep.
He was clearly preoccupied.
"I want to go out for a walk and see if there are any entrepreneurial projects that suit me." Caroline opened her eyes, met Mike's gaze, and her eyes held a hint of pleading.
During her two-plus months living in the King's Building, Caroline enjoyed her time there, but her personality dictated that she did not want to be a caged canary.
Two months is enough time for the girl to think things through.
So now, she feels it's time for her to be independent.
“It’s a bit chaotic outside right now, remember to take Nidi with you when you go out.” Mike did not stop the girl from making her request.
Moreover, he never intended to restrict the girls' freedom.
They can do whatever they want.
Mike can only offer some support at best.
"Thank you~" Caroline hugged Mike's neck tenderly and kissed him on the forehead.
Although the girl also enjoyed life in the King's Building, her sense of mission made her want to go out and make a name for herself.
This would clear the name of the Qian Ning family.
She had even made a plan: first, she would visit her father, and then she would look for business opportunities.
After saying goodbye, Caroline, having tidied herself up, walked briskly down the rooftop.
“Given the current environment, it’s not easy to make a comeback. But that young lady from the Qianning family is quite courageous…” Jesse opened his eyes after Caroline left, awakened by her noise.
It's clear that this strong woman quite admires that young lady.
"What courage? I think it's stupid. They wouldn't even cling to a powerful figure if they had one..." Regina, who was also woken up, gave a different opinion.
Having already decided to cling to Mike, Regina called over her two other girlfriends and snuggled up to him.
Her alluring figure gave Mike a royal treatment.
"You think everyone is as shameless and unambitious as you?" Jessie was uncomfortable with such exciting activities so early in the morning. She spat and looked away in disgust.
"So what if we're not ambitious? Who gave us the right to be?" Regina was not ashamed but proud, raising her head arrogantly and saying disdainfully, "I wonder who it was that was last night, making such a loud noise."
As a strong, independent woman, Jesse and Regina seem to be naturally incompatible.
Therefore, last night, being outnumbered and outmatched, she was controlled by Regina and her friends, and became Mike's main target.
"Shameless~" Jesse retorted defiantly, recalling the horrible scene from last night.
The words he uttered, however, seemed to have no offensive power.
"Tell me, wasn't it great?" Regina, now in control, wore a smug expression and gave her two friends another look.
Given that Jesse's previous words had a wide-ranging impact, she was once again surrounded by Regina and her friends.
It felt like a scene from last night was playing out again...
Then, Lina, who was also woken up, saw her "boss" being presented to Mike in a shameful manner by Regina and the others.
"No, no... I was wrong, please let me go. I have to go to work in a bit..." Jesse, unable to move again, blushed with shame and finally begged for mercy.
...in elementary school...
"I told you yesterday, the agency is giving you two days off. You and Lina should get some rest..." Mike said, waving to Lina as he flew the plane.
……
"Tch, I thought you really didn't want to, but you were hugging me tighter than anyone else just now..."
After more than an hour of morning exercise, the girls took turns doing a detox and beauty treatment. Feeling satisfied both physically and mentally, Regina once again teased Jesse.
Who told this strong woman to cling to Mike like an octopus for half an hour and refuse to get off?
After the intense stimulation, Jesse, whose mind was gradually clearing, didn't dare to look Regina in the eye. Instead, she turned and glared at Mike, who seemed completely unaffected.
Clearly, in terms of shamelessness, strong women have completely lost out.
Meanwhile, Karina, who rarely leaves the King's Building, is currently riding in a car driven by the cold-faced Nydy, heading towards Apple Prison.
Apple City is now much quieter due to the economic depression, with ragged homeless people scattered around in the corners.
Their expressions were blank and aimless, as if life had lost its meaning.
This was the first time Karina, who was traveling alone, truly experienced the cruelty of life.
After passing Wall Street and then Fifth Avenue, more than two hours later, the car stopped at Apple Jail, located between Queens and the Bronx.
More than a month later, Caroline saw her father here again.
The last time we came was when Mr. Qian Ning had just been sentenced to life imprisonment, and Mike brought the girl here once.
"Caroline, my darling daughter, are you alright? Did Mr. Mike give you any trouble?" Even through the glass, Mr. Channing's concern for his daughter remained undiminished.
More than a month has passed, and compared to his haggard appearance last time, Mr. Qian Ning now has a rosy complexion and looks very energetic.
"I'm fine, and Mike is taking good care of me." Caroline smiled and asked with concern, "How are you doing here? Is no one bullying you?"
"Ha, thanks to your boyfriend's help, I have food and drink here. Apart from not having any freedom, I feel more comfortable than outside..." Mr. Qian Ning replied casually.
This was indeed his true thought; compared to the huge mess of debts outside, prison was much quieter.
"Mike is not my boyfriend..." Mike has so many girls around him, and each one of them is outstanding, which makes Caroline insecure.
Moreover, Mike never confessed his feelings to her, and strictly speaking, their relationship wasn't even that of boyfriend and girlfriend.
More like a fire pack friend...
Of course, these are not things that are appropriate to explain to Dad.
A lack of security is one of the reasons why Caroline wants to start her own business.
“Excellent people always have many choices, there’s nothing wrong with that.” As a former entrepreneur who was even richer than Mike, Mr. Qian Ning is a veteran in this field.
Understanding and appreciating the character of wealthy people.
Looking at his increasingly radiant daughter, he encouraged her, "No matter what, as a daughter of the Qian Ning family, I believe you will eventually find happiness."
Mr. Qian Ning, who is now unable to leave prison for the rest of his life, uses his life experience to encourage his daughter, Xiaobaicai.
Otherwise, what else can we do?
Given the current situation, having his daughter cling to Mike's coattails is the best option Mr. Channing can think of.
"Let's not talk about this." Caroline felt awkward talking about her personal feelings with her father, so she changed the subject and said, "I came here today to tell you that in order to restore the reputation of the Qian Ning family, I want to start my own business."
"Reputation? What reputation does the Qian Ning family have left?" Mr. Qian Ning was surprised by his daughter's ambition: "Besides, the situation outside must be very bad right now. How could Mr. Mike agree to let you start a business?"
“Since our family declared bankruptcy, there have indeed been many more homeless people outside who have lost their families due to bankruptcy…” Caroline was still a little guilty when talking about the current situation outside.
In her opinion, the Qianning family bears a large part of the responsibility for the current dire situation.
“You don’t need to feel guilty. Those homeless people have little to do with us. I’ve ended up like this because I’m taking the blame for others…” Seeing that his daughter was upset, Mr. Qian Ning comforted her, “If you really have to blame someone, you should blame the bank and those who benefited from it.”
There are many reasons for the Great Depression, and Mr. Channing's role in it was not actually that important.
He was originally just one of the beneficiaries, but because his ambition was too great and his attempts to take shortcuts failed, he was pushed out to take the blame.
It can be said that it was a matter of timing and fate.
Mr. Qian Ning admitted that he made a mistake, but the mistake was not as big as rumored.
After briefly explaining the pros and cons to his daughter, Mr. Qian Ning returned to the main topic: "By the way, let's talk about your idea of starting a business. Leaving aside your ability to revive the Qian Ning family, those who have already benefited and the wealthy people I've swindled won't just stand by and watch the Qian Ning name reappear..."
The obstacles to Qian Ning's family's comeback have never been the homeless people who were swindled out of their fortunes, but rather the wealthy people who were swindled but persevered.
These people occupy more resources and are fully capable of suppressing the Qian Ning family, whose reputation has already been ruined.
"This... I just plan to open a small shop to make a little money, it shouldn't be affected, right?" Having figured out the situation, Caroline no longer wanted the Qian Ning family to make a comeback.
That was far beyond the girl's capabilities.
She just wants to do some small business now, enough to make herself financially independent.
“If it’s just a small shop, it shouldn’t be affected. Go ahead and do it with confidence.” Mr. Qian Ning thought for a moment and then smiled.
He knows his daughter well; she can't endure hardship and doesn't have any great skills.
But none of that matters. As long as Mr. Mike is there to back it up, it's easy for the King Group to protect a small shop from interference.
Even if that little shop bore the Qian Ning family's name, the situation would be the same.
……
Chapter 521 Coffee Shop
After visiting hours ended, Caroline, who had just left Apple Prison, had a more substantial understanding of her entrepreneurial plans.
It's no longer the idealism of before.
"Miss Nidi, may I go for a stroll in the Queens Street area next door?" Caroline politely asked the cold-faced female bodyguard for her opinion.
“Okay~” Nidi agreed to the girl’s request without expression.
The sports car then drove towards the Queens working-class neighborhood.
