"Then thanks to your lucky words." Lily adjusts her feeling and smiles confidently, "We have worked hard for the bid. Winning the bid is a recognition of our company."
"Miss Lily is really beautiful, capable, and so tempting."
"Thank you."
Lily does not want to chat with him. The bidding is about to begin. She wants to walk away tactfully but does not expect Jonathan to block the way.
He bends over slightly with a perfect smile on his face. His voice is soft and deep, "Miss Lily, there is a present for you. I hope you will like it."
Lily trembles for no reason. By the time she regains her senses, he has long gone away.
She frowns.
The man makes her feel very uncomfortable.
At ten o'clock, the bidding begins.
All famous companies want to win the project. The competition is intense. Not only Lily is there, other companies have also sent women leaders, valiant and powerful.
Lily is not confident at the beginning. After she has people from the Smith Group, as well as the outstanding tenders, she believes the winner would definitely theirs.
After two-hour encouraged competition, the bid finally belongs to the HZ Group. Others congratulate them and hand their business cards to Lily.
Lily keeps a polite smile until after it ends. She is so exhausted and asks a colleague to drive her home.
She can't wait to tell Louis the good news.
"Thank you, President Smith, for you generosity. The bidding is over perfectly. The HZ Group won!"
"Your poor company..."
"President Smith, even you helped me, pleased be polite. Our company is also one of the best in the industry, okay? The market value is high!"
"Alright. Congratulations, Miss Lily. Your efforts have paid off."
"Can you give David half a day off? I'd like to treat him to dinner and thank him."
"Shouldn't you treat me?"
"Didn't I cook for you last week? Brazen guy! If isn't for David's data and patient help, I wouldn't have improved so much. That’s what I should do."
Louis is very unhappy.
He has always been the one to help her, okay?
"President Smith."
David comes in by chance. He doesn't notice Louis' bad expression. He puts a few documents on the table and says happily, "President Smith, I'm taking Elizabeth to a cat party this afternoon. Your schedule has already been arranged well. I want to leave at two, okay?"
"I'm afraid not," Louis refuses.
David is confused, "Why? Is there anything wrong?"
"There's something wrong with a food factory in Hanchi Branch. Go and check." Louis says coldly, "By the way. Bring back their financial statements for the last quarter."
"President Smith, I'm a special assistant, not the one from the Finance Department...."
"I know." Louis interrupts him and says in a nonnegotiable tone, "Ask the secretary to book your ticket. Go there as soon as possible."
David wants to cry. He doesn't make any mistakes. Why his boss treats him like this? He is about to leave sadly.
Louis stops him and hands him a paper with words.
