Ch. 1001..1005: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1001-1005
Chapter 1001
Jared smiled heartily, knowing he was a lucky man; whoever married Nicole would be the luckiest man in the world.
"This is Uncle Ronnie," Jared introduced.
"Nice to meet you, Uncle Ronnie," Nicole greeted graciously.
"Nice to meet you."
"Uncle Ronnie, why don't you help us choose two horses?"
Ronnie had been living with horses for over thirty years.No one knew the horses here better than he did, and Jared knew best.
"Okay." Ronnie headed inside.
Jared hurriedly brought Nicole along to keep up.
They walked down the aisle, flanked by tall horses.
"What do you think of this horse?" Ronnie looked at Jared as he stopped in front of a black horse.
"Nice.This horse has a bright light in his eyes, stout legs, and a beautiful body.He must be a thoroughbred."
Jared had high praise for this horse.Ronnie nodded with satisfaction.
"That's a good point.You have improved."
"This horse is my favorite, the best one in the whole barn."
Ronnie stroked the horse, and anyone could tell his love for the horse in the eyes.He unhooked the reins and led the horse out, then handed it to Nicole's hand.
"Miss Riddle, since you are Jared's fiancée, eventually, you two are going to get married.From the moment you entered the door, Jared has never let go of your hand, so he loves you, and I can see your love for each other.So, I want to give you this horse as a wedding gift when you get married."
Ronnie looked at them with a smiling face.
"Uncle Ronnie, this is not appropriate.You raised this horse since it was small.It has always followed you.We—"
Before Jared could finish, Ronnie interrupted him.
"Since you call me Uncle Ronnie, do as I say.Besides, I'm giving it to Miss Riddle, the Johnston family's future daughter-in-law, so don't you butt in.
"Uncle Ronnie, I take nothing from anyone.Not to mention that this horse is the love of your life, so I can't take it, but I really appreciate your kindness."
No amount of words could persuade Nicole to accept it.
Although it was just a horse, it was Ronnie's favorite horse, which Nicole could definitely not bring herself to accept.
"This is the first time we have met, so you may not know my character, but Jared does.I like Jared very much, so anyone closely connected with him.If you are ready to marry her, then you must accept my blessing."
Ronnie looked at Nicole with a serious face, and he was sincere in giving them his blessing.
Seeing Ronnie's insistence, Nicole looked at Jared, who nodded at her.
"Thank you, Uncle Ronnie.But I don't have room for a horse at home, so he will still be kept at your place."
Nicole took the reins from Ronnie, but she had no intention of taking the horse away and still kept it for Ronnie, only now it was hers.
"Great."
Ronnie guffawed as he grasped Nicole's intention.
"What's his name?" Nicole asked Ronnie as she petted the horse.
"Pinto, because it has a ring of white on each leg and runs as fast as the wind, much like the ride of the hegemon king back in the day," Ronnie said.
"Pinto, nice name." Nicole liked the name.
"Go out and try it.Spend more time with Pinto first, talk to him more, and feed him some food, and he will be more docile once he knows you," Uncle Ronnie said.
"Okay."
"We're going out first, then." Jared took the stallion that Ronnie had raised as a foal and had a deep affection for.
"Go ahead and be safe."
"Got it."
Jared and Nicole came out of the barn with a horse in each hand, and Nicole led Pinto to a clearing and got him something to eat.
After a few moments of getting acquainted, Pinto stopped trying to break free of her hand, and Nicole knew Pinto was starting to trust her.
Chapter 1002
"Pinto seems to like you a lot." Jared and Nicole stood together.
"I feel the same way.It feels like an old acquaintance with him." Nicole was happy that Ronnie gave her Pinto.
"Do you want to hold it for a walk first?" Jared looked over at Nicole.
"Yeah."
Nicole also thought it would be nice to take a walk in such a vast and scenic place.
Two people and two horses were walking on the grassland.
The scene looked as good as a painting.
After walking for a few moments, Jared felt ready.
"Want to try riding on it?" Nicole's eyes met his.She gently stroked Pinto and nimbly mounted the horse.
Pinto was not displeased but waited for Nicole to sit sturdily before slowly trotting forward under Nicole's urge.
Jared rode his Sirocco and accompanied Nicole on her walk alongside.
"How does it feel?" Jared asked.
"It feels good.Pinto is very human," Nicole said.
"Yes, Pinto is an intelligent horse, and then there is Sirocco here; he doesn't feel alone."
"Possible."
"Shall we go up the hill?" Nicole suggested, wanting to stand at the top of the hill and look into the distance.
"Yeah, let's go."
Abroad, Zane and Carl led two separate teams to encircle the Curley Corporation manufacturing facility, as The Raven was on the verge of taking control of the plant.The security team from inside the plant was about to be taken down by The Raven.
"Carl, take the contro] room and never let The Raven's men in," Zane ordered Carl.
"Got it."
Carl took his men and stood guard on the perimeter of the control room.
This was the most important place in the entire plant.
Outside the plant, Zane led mercenaries in a battle with The Raven's men.
Sparks were flying all over the place as Zane braved the gunfire and led his men to keep The Raven's men pinned down.
After a long fight, Zane gradually took over most of the factory, and The Raven was forced to retreat.
"Team Three, what should we do now? We're about to be overwhelmed."
A Team 3 member asked the leader.
Team 3’s leader looked at the battle situation and was frustrated.
"Take the rest of the men and retreat quickly."
He knew that the entire Team 3 would be wiped out if they kept fighting here.
"Got it.Retreat."
"Boss, the attack on my side seems to be easing up," Carl reported to Zane about the situation.
"They probably couldn't hold on anymore.Stay there and don't go anywhere.I will come to you when I have dealt with the situation here," Zane said.
Team 3 retreated under covering fire, but Zane would not give them a chance.
Now, Team 3 was isolated inside the factory, unable to advance or retreat, and the leader was desperate.
"Find out which direction the enemy fire is the weakest and concentrate your forces in that direction," Team 3's leader ordered.
"Okay." Team 3 had concentrated their forces, but they did not know it was a trap that Zane had left for them.
As Team 3's men rushed through, they were immediately cut off by Zane's men in the rear.
Now, Team A found out that there was no way out.
"Mates, let's fight our way out."
Team 3's leader was furious.He picked up his assault rifle to lead the fight.
Team 3 was no match for Zane's team from the beginning, let alone now.
Within a few minutes, the battle was over, and Team 3’s leader died in his attempt to get away.
"Carl, all clear." Zane informed Carl.
"Copied."
Carl immediately deployed the defense, and now they officially took over the plant, as the people of Curley Corporation were no longer capable of defending it.
After Zane settled everything down, he sent a message to Curley Corporation headquarters.
After all, they could not be here to protect the plant all the time.
Nicole, accompanied by Jared, had a great time.It was already dark when the two returned to the barn.
"Uncle Ronnie, we're leaving now."
Jared and Nicole found Ronnie in the lobby.
Chapter 1003
“Okay. Be safe. Miss Riddle, please come again when you have time. " Ronnie looked at Nicole.
"Okay, I will, and I will come over to bother you more often in the future."
It was the first time they had met, but Nicole and Ronnie got along very well.
"We're leaving."
The two of them waved to Ronnie, who waved goodbye in the same way. As the limousine drove from the estate to the city, Nicole leaned on Jared's shoulder and fell asleep.
The car stopped steadily in front of the villa, and Max was about to speak when Jared made a silent gesture before walking into the house with Nicole in his arms. He laid her gently on the bed, not daring to make large movements for fear of waking her up. Despite that, Nicole still woke up.
“Are we back yet?"
"We are back. You may continue to sleep." Jared lay beside her, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, Jared took Nicole to his office. Because Nicole felt bored at home, she might as well follow him to the office, where she could also check the route.
“Max, who is the product spokesperson chosen by the advertising department this time?"
"I think it is still Chloe," Max said.
“Why is it her again? Isn't there anyone else available besides Chloe?" Jared did not like Chloe very much.
"I will go talk to the advertising people again."
“That won't be necessary. I will go over there now and check it out. " Jared got up, ready to go to the shooting scene.
"Nicole, I'm going to go to the shooting scene. You may rest here." Jared looked back at her.
"I heard you guys just mention Chloe. Are you going to see her now?" Nicole asked.
"No, but I might run into her."
“Oh, can I go? I haven't been to the shooting scene yet."
"Yes, anything you like."
On the shooting set, Jared walked in with Nicole. When the director saw Jared and Nicole, he immediately greeted them with a smile.
"Has this endorsement started shooting yet?" Jared glanced at the director, then looked around the scene again.
"Not yet, in the preparation. We will start shooting once the artist arrives."
“Who is the artist this time?"
"Chloe."
“Why is it still here? Couldn't the advertising department find anyone else?" The director got what Jared meant, and he lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.
"Max, get the person in charge over here," Jared commanded in a frosty voice.
A moment later, the person in charge walked in with quick steps. " Mr. Johnstone, are you looking for me?"
"I heard that this time the product spokesperson is still Chloe."
"Right."
“If I remember correctly, she was also the spokesperson for the last product, right? The sales seem to be average, right?" Jared looked at him with an expressionless face.
"Err..."
“Since the result isn't ideal, change someone else. If it is for contractual reasons, communicate with the artist properly and try to meet her demand." Jared's meaning could not be clearer; he thought Chloe did not deserve the endorsement job.
Chapter 1004
"Yes, yes, yes, but the shooting will start today. It is too late to sign up for a new artist." The person in charge looked at Jared in a predicament. Jared sighed. He suddenly looked at Nicole.
"You guys go ahead and set up the scene. Nicole, come out with me for a minute." Nicole followed him out with puzzlement.
“You heard everything we just said. Do you want to be a product spokesperson?" Nicole looked at him with astonishment, wondering why he thought of asking her to be a product spokesperson.
"This is no joke. I have no experience in this area, and it wouldn't be fun if it didn't turn out well." Nicole was self-aware. She had never been exposed to endorsements.
"I'm not kidding. I think you're multiple times better than Chloe. If someone like her can, you will have no problem." Jared had a lot of confidence in Nicole.
"Besides, it is going to be filmed today, and it is too late to find someone else. So can you help?" Jared looked at her with pleading eyes. Nicole hesitated for a few moments. She could see that Jared was in a bit of a difficult situation right now. If she did not help him now, no one else would.
"I can try. But if it doesn't work well, I'd rather not shoot today, and you have to find the best spokesperson." Nicole looked at Jared with serious eyes.
“Okay, but I have full confidence in you."
Back on set, Jared glanced at the director.
"How long until we start shooting?"
"In another half hour," the director said.
“Makeup artist, take Miss Riddle to apply makeup. She will endorse the new product in a moment." Jared announced seriously. Everyone in the room froze. They had never seen Nicole's ad before and had doubts about her ability. The director was the first to react and immediately get to work. Jared sat aside in anticipation of Nicole's performance. The person in charge asked cautiously from the side.
"Mr. Johnston, do I still need to find a new artist?"
"You talk to Chloe. I will let you know if there are any changes." Jared did not even look at him, his eyes on the crew on the set.
“Okay, then I will go talk to her," the person in charge said respectfully and left the scene.
Half an hour later, Nicole came out of the dressing room with her makeup on. There was a sudden silence as all eyes, including Jared's, was captivated by her beauty.
“Miss Riddle is so stunning, isn't she?" The staff's envious eyes were locked on Nicole.
“Get to work now and have a good look later."
“Jared, I feel weird and awkward. Do you think I can do it?" It was the first time Nicole was so unsure of herself because it was not her makeup style at all.
“You are beautiful. The makeup hair suits you." Jared looked at Nicole's makeup and could not take his eyes off her.
“Mr. Johnston, it's ready to shoot." The director came over.
“Okay, take Miss Riddle to the audition," Jared said.
Nicole glanced at Jared and followed the director to the middle of the set.
“Miss Riddle, let's perform a screen test first. When I say start, you can do some poses," the director politely explained to Nicole. Nicole nodded her head, barely understanding half of what he said.
Chapter 1005
"Miss Riddle, look at the camera.Action." The director called out.
The moment the director called out to start, Nicole instantly got into the mood, subconsciously waving her arms, and making several poses.
The director smiled in satisfaction.
"Mr.Johnston, please take a look."
The director finished filming and showed it to Jared.
Watching Nicole's performance on camera, Jared smiled with satisfaction.
"Very talented.The results are excellent."
"Director, let Miss Riddle familiarize herself with the product and then start shooting," Jared said, and the director immediately complied.
An assistant helped Nicole understand the new product, and soon Nicole grasped its features.
"Miss Riddle, we will start shooting when you are ready."
The director did not dare to rush her.He waited patiently for Nicole to study the product.
Little did he know that just as he finished speaking, Nicole said, "I'm ready to go."
The director looked at Nicole incredulously.
"There is no rush.You can familiarize yourself with it more so that it will be easy for you during the shooting."
"I have studied it well enough.Let’s get started."
Nicole was so confident that it was a little hard to believe.
The director could not believe that Nicole could fully understand the product in such a short time.He helplessly walked to the camera.
Since Nicole wanted to give it a try, he could not stop her.
"Attention all teams.Lights ready.One product, one take.Action."
With the director's call, Nicole started to showcase the new product's features in front of the camera.Jared watched Nicole perform and started Lo worry about her because slide really had no experience at all.
"Cut."
Everyone stopped as the director called out.
Nicole did not leave the set, her eyes looking toward the director as if waiting to re-shoot again.
"Miss Riddle is really talented.One take, and it is a wrap." The director applauded with delight.
Everyone could not believe what they saw until Nicole came to Jared.
"Miss Riddle is awesome.I was preparing for a second take, not expecting her to get it right in the first take."
"It was the easiest I've shot since.It just went so well."
"I knew I got the right person.You're really awesome." Jared complimented her.
Just then, a figure walked in.
At first, she did not see Jared and Nicole and went straight to the director.
"Hurry up, and let's get started.I have other things to do later."
Chloe was putting on airs before the shooting even started.
"Makeup artist, why are you still standing there? Just do some make -up on the spot."
The make-up artist did nothing but look at the director, who had had enough and looked at Chloe.Chloe, the shooting has finished.Don't you have other things to do? Go and get busy."
The director had tried not to humiliate her by telling her politely.
"Finished shooting? How come I'm not even there yet, and the shoot is over? What do you mean?" Chloe looked at the director with bafflement.
"Didn't you receive the notice?"
"What notice?"
Chloe looked at him with even more confusion.
Chloe followed the director's eyes and saw Jared and Nicole.She hurriedly walked over and greeted Jared with a smile.
"Mr.Johnston, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me in advance? Chloe tried her best to impress him, disregarding Nicole and the staff around him.But Jared did not even spare her a glance.
"You're here early enough, huh?" The sarcasm could not have been more obvious.
