"But it is not an easy job!" Putting her hands on her glasses, Jessie says, "Although Regulators department is powerful and can do whatever it wants in the Smith Group, the forces in the Smith Group are a very intricate."
"I just have been at the Smith Group for less than two months, but I have already learned about Vice President Gill and Samson. If you really want to find out something, you might touch their interests. What if something happened to you?"
Jessie is very upset and says, “Mr. Louis looks kind. How could he be so scheming?"
"No matter how difficult it is, I have to check it out." says Lily. She doesn’t worry about it too much, "Anyway, Mr. Louis won't go back to the New York branch. He will stand up to anything that happens."
"And how about the interview? How does it go?"
Lily presses her lips. "They interviewers are excellent and able. I have chosen one from the headquarters. I will choose another two in the Yanking and Shetland North branches."
Jessie understands it. Lily did it right. There are too many people in the Smith Group. Maybe some of them are Gill’s men. As for the people in the branches, Gill and Samson might not have time to contact with those who just joined the company for one or two years.
Then they stop talking the business.
"Sweet baby, did your brother love you?" Jessie says to Lily.
Lily couldn't help laughing. "What's wrong with him?"
"When she hears that it’s you who introduced him to me, and we live together, he always asks ‘how are you doing’; ‘have you been bullied’, and the like. He also asks me to take you out when having time. Don’t just focus on work."
"My parents divorced early, and I brought him up." says Lily, “So, he's more attached to me. It’s not a big deal. You can talk to him about other things."
"I'm sorry Sweet baby, I don't know that," Jessie says.
"There's nothing to apologize for. They don't have a good relationship, so they divorced. It’s no big deal. Let’s have dinner.”
"Well, I'll take the dishes out."
Although Lily says she doesn't care about her parents' divorce, when she goes to bed at night, all the old things flooding into her head.
"Look how useless you are! What else can you do besides giving birth to children and doing housework?"
"I have failed in business. How can you help me?"
"What I regret most in this life is to marry you, a useless wife!"
"..."
The man's harsh words linger in her ears.
Lily dares not close her eyes. When she does so, she will think of Daisy's weak and timid look with tears all over her face.
Sometimes she hates his father. Why should he blame her mother for his business failures? She also hates Daisy for her cowardice, her unwillingness to divorce despite being beaten and scolded. She really hates that.
When Lily sees her mother carrying the burden while taking care of her newborn brother, she finally understands why her mother didn't want to divorce, as she was afraid of losing the support.
Fortunately, they get through all these.
Lily turns around and sees the diamond castle, shining brightly to calm her anxiety. She just stares at it and slowly closes her eyes.
She really hopes that the man would grow old and die alone.
The following week, Lily takes the materials and goes to the branches of Yanking and Shetland North to pick her subordinates in person.
In the office, after the interview, Lily gets up from her chair.
"I'm very pleased with your resume and your abilities." Lily holds out her hand to the young woman in front of her, smiles and says, "Congratulations on joining the Regulators department. We'll be colleagues from now on."
Hearing that, the young woman shakes her hands in excitement, "Thank you, Manager Lily for being so kind."
Lily picked three persons from Yanking branch and two from Shetland North branch. The young woman is the last one she chose. She has finished the interview and is ready to leave.
