America 1919

"Celebrities always get some special treatment!" Donnie joked as he opened the rear car door.

Helen, who sat in the car, shook her head. She could clearly feel that every person who greeted Donnie looked at him with respect, and some even with a touch of fear.

This was not just special treatment for celebrities!

However, Helen did not continue to question Donnie about this, it just made her realize that Donnie's status in Atlantic City might be even more esteemed than she had heard.
Your journey continues on empire

Steve Coting drove Donnie and Helen to an apartment in the West District of Atlantic City.

The apartment had a three-room and one-living-room layout, and the whole room had already been decorated in a pink color scheme.

When Helen saw the decor, she immediately burst out cheering and couldn't help but hug Donnie, but after the embrace, they quickly separated.

"Donnie, you are really so thoughtful! I love this place!"

Before coming to Atlantic City, Donnie had already told Helen that he would rent an apartment for her here, of course, according to Helen's requirement, the rent would definitely be paid by her.

"How did you know I like pink?"

Helen looked around the room, curiously asking Donnie.

"We've known each other for about a week now, and during that week, you wore pink clothes for four days. I guessed that must be your preference!"

Donnie said humbly.

Helen thanked Donnie again, "To find such a house in such a short time and transform it like this, Donnie, you really are so considerate!"

Donnie laughed, "It's an honor that you are satisfied!"

Helen suddenly asked with some worry, "But won't the owner of this place have any objections to you remodeling it like this?"

Donnie looked puzzled and asked towards the empty space on his left, "Do you have any objections?"

After asking, Donnie moved to that position and then answered, "No objections!"

After doing all this, Donnie then smiled at Helen, "I have just asked the landlord, and he has no objections!"

Helen was amused again by Donnie's behavior, saying happily, "So this is your apartment, Donnie!"

Donnie nodded, "Not just this place, downstairs is where I live, but if I am busy with work, I don't come back to stay!"

Helen exclaimed excitedly again, "So that means we are neighbors now!"

Although working in a strange city was not a big deal for Helen, having a friend in this unfamiliar city, and that friend living right below, made everything seem very wonderful!

"Right, so if you ever need help with anything, Helen, feel free to come find me!"

"Okay, I'll definitely remember what you said, Donnie!" Helen said happily.

Donnie checked the time and asked Helen, "Do you want to rest first, or shall I take you to the WRPA headquarters to have a look?"

At this moment, Helen quickly switched from a young girl to a working woman's demeanor and said seriously.

"Let's go to the WRPA headquarters. I can't wait to start my work!"

Donnie nodded, led Helen out of the room, and while in the car, Donnie said to Helen.

"I've prepared all the daily necessities for you, but you'll need to personally buy some of the more personal items!"

"Donnie, you really are so considerate, I don't even know when you prepared all these things!" Helen sat in the car seat, her eyebrows curved like willow leaves!

"There's always time for a call, Helen. Now that you've come to work in Atlantic City, we naturally want to make you happy!"

"To be honest, I'm already quite eager to start my work and life in Atlantic City!"

The two chatted leisurely on their way, and soon arrived at the WRPA headquarters.

South Brenton, who had received a call from Donnie in advance, was already waiting there.

After Donnie's introduction, Helen and South Brenton quickly became acquainted.

"Brenton, I'm entrusting Miss Helen to you. If there's anything you need at WRPA, feel free to come to me!"

South Brenton said to Donnie without hesitation, "Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Helen!"

Donnie nodded, said goodbye to Helen again, and left.

When Donnie arrived at Block Tavern, Robert, John, and Kritch were already waiting there.

"Didn't expect your trip to go so smoothly this time!"

As soon as Donnie sat down, Robert immediately said cheerfully.

Kritch also chimed in, "Ace Casas and Shapiro Bent have been in constant contact with me these past two days, hoping to finalize the deal with us as soon as possible!"

John directly asked, "Didn't expect Marshall to have such influence to sort out our troubles so quickly!"

The three of them were not very clear about what happened after Donnie left Atlantic City.

"Actually, it wasn't smooth..."

Donnie shared the details of his journey with the three of them.

After listening, all three of them showed surprised expressions, not expecting Donnie's trip to have been so fraught with complications.

"But thankfully, everything has been resolved!"

In the end, Donnie concluded.

"The Taft Family?" Robert laughed, "Didn't expect their eldest son to have the same name as me!"

John teased from the side, "Yeah, you must never have thought that despite everyone calling him Robert, the guy is now a Ohio state legislator, his grandfather was a Minister of War, and his father was a President!"

Robert looked darkly at John, but considering the disparity in their strengths, he decisively chose to keep his mouth shut!

John said, "Didn't expect Hubert to dare to mess with our business. I certainly won't let him off the hook! And about Colt Company and Springfield Company, we took the initiative to deal with them and they still set us up. Donnie, I think we might as well cancel our cooperation with them?"

Donnie waved his hand and said, "Let's not worry about Hubert for now, there will always be chances to deal with him. As for Colt Company and Springfield Company, there's no need to replace them either, as finding a new company might bring other problems! After all, if we change to a new company, we might have to renegotiate prices, and these two companies have already agreed to the previous quotes.

I believe personal grievances should give way to benefits!"

Kritch nodded, "That's what I think, too. Moreover, switching to a new company means renegotiating terms, but since both companies have agreed to Donnie's previous quotes, I think personal feelings should yield to benefit!"

Kritch's response gave Donnie a moment of clarity, it seemed like the people around him were growing too!

"Exactly, that's what I think as well!"

"Alright then, since you've already decided, I have no objections!" John said in his usual manner.

Robert also nodded, indicating he had no objections!

Kritch asked Donnie, "When do you plan to meet them?"
