A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 103

"It’s strange. Even an interpreter can come to this conference room." The woman next to Julian speaks in a low but sarcastic voice. "Can anyone come here now?"

Lily lifts her eyes to look at the woman and confirms that it's Katherine, Louis's cousin.

Katherine is unhappy.

She has told Louis that she doesn't want to take over this mess even if he transfers some men from New York, but he still calls her to have the meeting.

"Miss Katherine, I haven’t seen you for a long time." Lily greets her with a smile. She hates her sarcastic remarks most, as if everyone owes her. "Yes, two staffs in the translation department have come here."

"I don't think I'm competent enough to come to attend such a meeting, but the boss sent me the email in person, and I, as a junior employee, couldn't refuse it, so I come here. I'm so sorry that I make Miss Katherine feel unhappy."

Katherine probably didn't expect Lily to answer back, and she looks gloomy and embarrassed.

No one else in the room speaks again.

Everyone knows the purpose of the meeting today. It is about the promotion of a new minister of translation department, and it has nothing to do with them, so they can just watch it.

As the people come in, they take their seats in twos and threes. They are from different departments and Lily seldom sees them as they are often on business trips.

At 9:55, the door of the conference room opens again, and Louis comes in with his secretary Meghan.

He looks tall and straight today in a dark gray suit. His eyes are deep, with slight careless indifference. He comes in with his cold aura, making the atmosphere calm and sober.

Why the tie he is wearing looks so familiar?

The maroon and black striped tie and the tie clip below match each other perfectly. Lily can tell it’s produced by Armani at one glance. Besides, she is familiar with the tie. Where has she seen it before?

"Good morning, Mr. Louis."

As soon as Louis comes in, everyone gets up to greet him. Lily recollects her mind and echoes.

"Good morning, everyone. Take a seat." Louis nods, pulls out his chair to sit down. Meghan sits down by his side. He quickly opens his notebook and focuses on the work.

Even though he is sitting in a chair, Louis still keeps his back straight. He says, "Today, I summon the meeting for appointing a new minister for the Translation Department. Minister Leon has died, and there is only an acting minister at present, but there is still a difference between the acting minister and the minister.

No one speaks and they all keep silence.

"There are a lot of competent people in the translation department, but most of them are not qualified enough." Then Katherine says, "Julian, the acting minister, is a veteran of the translation department. When I discuss the work with her, I could see that she takes her work very seriously. I'm sure everyone would agree that Julian would be the new head of translation."

Louis taps his finger on the table and approves. "Yes, Julian has been in the Smith Group for many years and she’s very competent."

Julian looks pleased, but Lily wonders.

She's a little confused by Louis. Doesn't he know that Julian is Samson's men? Why does he promote Julian and why does he call her to attend the meeting?

Just after everyone thought that the new minister has been decided, Louis speaks again, "She can be the head of the group, but she is not qualified to be the minister. She is lack of leadership."

At that moment, the door of the conference room opens again and a man dressed well walks in.
