Mr. Field makes a phone call. Soon, the door of the suite is pushed open and two waiters put the beers on the mahogany table.
There were twenty-four beers in total.
Mr. Field leans back on the sofa, points to the beers on the table and says, “President Lily, as long as you drink all these beers, I'll ask my dad out for you!”
“
'Is Mr. Field joking with me?” Lily's face changes slightly. Then she smiles. “Twenty-four bottles of beer, even an adult man can't finish it, let alone I am a poor drinker.”
Ellison smiles. “Adult men are not as capable as President Lily is. Since you can be the acting president of the Smith Group, I think that the mere twenty-four bottles of beer are a trivial matter to you.”
“Yeah, beer isn't strong, and we didn’t force you to drink wine.” Mr. Field is dissatisfied, “I'm kind enough to give you a chance. If you don't want to drink, just go out. Don't disturb our interest!”
Lily doesn't talk nonsense either. She just turns around and leaves.
It is not high in alcohol for a beer, but a score of bottles is too much.
Lily opens the door to go out, and behind her comes Ellison's gentle words, “Lily, don't waste time. It is Louis who makes the Smith Group so bad. No one can save it.”
There is a strong sense of pleasure in his words, as if he has entered the Smith Group and stepped Louis under his feet.
Lily feels furious. She can’t stand it anymore!
These scums!
In recent years, if it were not for Louis’s support, the Smith Group would have been carved up by Samson and other people. They share the same surname, Smith, but they don't help each other. Instead, they will quarrel with each other.
Lily turns back and looks at Mr. Field coldly. “Mr. Field, as soon as I finish these twenty-four bottles of beer, you will arrange an appointment with Heller for me, won't you?”
Mr. Field is frightened by her momentum and stammers, “Yes, yes...”
Before he can say anything, Lily has picked up a bottle of beer and drinks all.
She is so decisive and determined.
Lily finishes one bottle in less than eight seconds, and then picks up the second one.
Ellison did not expect Lily to come back and drink the beer. Ellison's smile fades into a somber smile.
As Richard's second son, he knows what's going on these days, so he secretly contacts the companies who have cooperation with the Smith Group. When Olivia and Richard collect all the shares, they would sell the shares to these companies for more working capital. Then, they would contact the media to clear the negative news, so as to help the Smith Group.”
They have arranged everything in details, but they have forgotten Lily.
She is a very capable woman, unlike a rookie who has been transferred from the translation department. While they are acquiring shares, she is also contacting shareholders and using the company's money to acquire the original shares.
While Ellison is pondering the matter, Lily has finished the tenth bottle, but she remained sober. Others join in to see if Lily can finish all the beers.
Twelfth bottle... Fifteenth bottle...
Mr. Field's face slowly turns from disgust to surprise. He listens to Ellison and wants to embarrass the woman, but he does not want to make things big.
