I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date

Chapter 60: Brothers

At this moment, a few more people joined the crowd. Everyone greeted the people who had just arrived.

“Brother William!” A thin man ran over excitedly when he saw William Scott.

“Little Monkey!” William Scott gave the man a hug.

Little Monkey’s original name was Xavier Herd. Because he was thin and small, and every kid loved to give others nicknames when they were in school. So he got the nickname of Little Monkey. But Xavier Herd did not mind.

Because he was scrawny and his family was poor, Xavier Herd felt a little inferior in school and was often bullied. William Scott couldn’t stand it, so he often stood up for him. Slowly, Xavier Herd no longer felt so inferior and his academic results improved a lot.

This made Xavier Herd extremely grateful to William Scott. He followed William Scott like a shadow all day long, and the two of them could be said to be best friends in school.

“Little Monkey, why are you still so skinny after so many years?” When the two of them separated, William Scott teased Xavier Herd with a smile.

Xavier Herd chuckled and said, “It can’t be helped. That’s how my physique is. I also want to grow fatter. As for you, you seemed even stronger than before.”

The two of them chatted for a while. Their relationship did not fade at all even though they had not seen each other for many years.

“Little Monkey, what are you doing now?” William Scott was genuinely concerned.

“I…” Xavier Herd grinned and said,” What can I possibly do? I can’t even get a decent job after I graduated from university. I’m driving a taxi now. ”

William Scott smiled and said, “It’s not bad to drive a taxi. At the very least, you can earn a lot of money.”

“Forget it.” Xavier Herd shook his head and sighed. “How can being a taxi driver be an easy job now? Besides, the car isn’t mine. I rent someone else’s taxi and earn some money every day. It’s about the same as earning a salary. I still have no rest days. I can’t compare to everyone, especially you. You must be doing very well now.”

......

“I—”

William Scott was about to speak when Hayley Lands came over. At this moment, she burst out laughing and said, “Xavier Herd, that was an awkward question. Do you know what William Scott is doing now?”

“What?” Xavier Herd looked puzzled.

Hayley Lands couldn’t help but say, “He’s a mover. You wouldn’t expect it, right? Your big brother isn’t doing any better than you.”

Xavier Herd was stunned for a moment, but he patted William Scott’s shoulder heavily and said, “Even if he is not doing well now, I believe that this is only temporary. He will definitely become more successful in the future.”

“The two of you are really compatible. However, life… is really not easy to change.” Hayley Lands shook her head and walked away in disdain.

Xavier Herd snorted and said, “Hayley Lands and Nadia Sawyer from our class are really vicious with their words. When they see someone not doing well, they especially like to mock them. It’s as if they can get some sense of superiority this way.”

William Scott chuckled and said, “If they want to say it, so be it.”

Xavier Herd looked at William Scott in surprise and said, “Brother William, your temper has really improved. You’re not angry despite that?”

“What’s there to be angry about? The mouth is hers. Can I stop her from saying anything?”

Xavier Herd surveyed William Scott from head to toe again and suddenly said, “Brother William, I feel that you’re really much calmer now. I definitely don’t believe that you’re a mover now. I’ve seen many movers. They definitely don’t have the confidence and composure you have. Moreover, I believe that with your ability, you definitely won’t do so badly.”

William Scott smiled and said, “You believe in me?”

“Absolutely. I haven’t learned anything else from driving taxis in the past few years, but I am very good at sizing people up. Most people only need to get in the car and chat for a while before I can guess if this person is really capable or if he’s bragging.”

“You even gained this ability. That’s really not bad.” William Scott chuckled and patted Xavier Herd’s shoulder. “I’m actually not that good. I just started a small company now. Come to my place to visit when you have time in the future.”

“I knew it!” Xavier Herd’s eyes immediately lit up, and an indescribable smugness appeared on his face. Then, he blinked curiously and asked softly, “What kind of company?”

William Scott also blinked and said, “Our company is filled with beautiful girls.”

“I’ll go! I’ll go, I’ll go!” Xavier Herd immediately shouted excitedly. His repeated usage of the same words expressed his excitement.

Xavier Herd’s voice was too loud, and many people turned to look at the two of them.

He felt that he had lost his composure and immediately coughed lightly. He pulled William Scott to the side and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything. Are you pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?”

William Scott chuckled and said, “Have you read too many s? I’m just too lazy to explain. Besides, they already had a preconceived idea of me. Even if I explain, they won’t believe me. Instead, they’ll think that I’m spouting nonsense here. Wouldn’t that be even more tiring?”

“That’s true, but a film company sounds so amazing and incredible. I really want to see if these guys will be shocked when they find out about your true capability.” As Xavier Herd spoke, he turned to look at his ex-classmates, looking even more excited and expectant.

“Forget it, we were all classmates once. We’re still young, so it’s normal for us to be a little arrogant and snobbish.”

Xavier Herd gave him a thumbs up and said, “Listen to yourself. You’ve instantly differentiated yourself from them by thousands of miles. Brother William, you’re impressive, very impressive… Do you have any celebrities?”

William Scott smiled and said, “Not yet. We’ve only just been established. Moreover, we’re mainly filming and producing short videos now. Unlike traditional television dramas and movies, we don’t have the ability to sign any celebrities for the time being. Our company is nurturing new talent.”

“That’s still impressive. You have to bring me there soon.”

“No problem.”

As they chatted, some of them occasionally looked over and noticed the two least successful people in the class chatting happily. Was it because they were birds of the same feather? Or could it be that everyone else seemed different? Only people on the same level could chat easily.

Then, everyone seemed to think that they were above William Scott and Xavier Herd.
