A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 443

Someone asks curiously, "The dish is made by Ms. Lily?"

"You don't even need to ask. It's so obvious." The female employee rolls her eyes at her colleague and gossips, "This Lily made waves when she was at the Smith Group. I heard that she is very close with Mr. Smith."

"What kind of man is Mr. Smith? Do you think he likes her? She probably failed to hook up with Mr. Smith and changed the target to David. Mr. Smith trusts him so much, and he has a high status in the Group."

"She's so scheming." Someone exclaims and begins to talk about conspiracy theory. "Hey, do you think she has started retaliation against the star because she is too close to Mr. Smith?"

"It must be!"

"I heard that Ms. Lily wants to contract with the starlet as the spokesperson for our company's new product with three million. Three million for a three-minute promotional video? She thinks a star is so cheap?"

"I also think that she has gone too far. She is so mean, why not do it herself?"

"Hey, speaking of which, although Ms. Lily is a scheming bitch, she's pretty and has big boobs!"

"..."

In the office, a few people are discussing without scruples and laughing loudly.

No one notices Lily coming in at all.

It is Lily who reaches out and knocks on the glass door, attracting their attention.

Noticing that when the people in the office see her, they seem to be strangled by a reaper and can no longer speak, she just smiles faintly and says, "Sorry for the disturbance."

The office is deathly silent and the atmosphere is awkward.

Lily pretends not to have heard it and mentions a few file names, "Who has these files?"

"Ms. Lily... I have them." A woman in a black and white plaid dress stutters while ferreting for the documents and hands them to Lily with trembling hands.

"Thank you." Lily's voice is gentle. She takes the documents, but she is not in a hurry to leave.

She looks at the woman in front of her, who lowers her head, with a kind expression and asks, "From what I heard, it seems that you are the one calling me a scheming bitch. You said that I did something bad to the star and that I have big boobs ... right?"

"I... I'm sorry, Ms. Lily." The woman lowers her head and says in a trembling voice, "We were joking."

Lily's face darkens and her voice is cold. "So leaders can be joked on as you wish?"

The woman doesn't even dare to breathe.

Lily looks up and sweeps her sharp gaze across the people in the office. As long as anyone lowers their heads or looks around, she will know that these people are the ones gossiping about her.

"Do your work during office hours. If you want to relax, go to the bathroom for the chat." She says angrily, "You guys are laughing loudly in the office and speaking ill of me. I'm impressed!"

She checks the woman's employee ID and pouts, "What a coincidence. Last time, it is you who gossiped about me in the elevator, and this time, it is you again. What, gossip is everything in your life?"

"No, Ms. Lily." The woman breaks out in cold sweat and is anxious. "I was so ignorant. I didn't understand the rules. Please spare me."

Lily smiles, "An ignorant people like you has been recruited to HS and even becomes a team leader of the planning department. Are you suggesting that the human resource manager and your line manager are not as competent as you?"

"I didn't mean that..." The woman doesn't expect Lily to be so eloquent, and she can't come up with any words.

Lily doesn't look at her. Her sharp gaze sweeps through the crowd and points the people who spoke ill of her in the elevator that day. "Since you can't keep your mouths shut, then work in the customer service department and stay there for a year."

"Ms. Lily, we were wrong. Please forgive us." Each one pointed by Lily becomes panic.

After this, no employees in HS dare to disrespect her and make her the object of any jokes.

After Lily takes the documents back to the office, Ella hurries over. "Sorry, Ms. Lily, I went out for some errands and didn't have time to tell you."

"It's fine." Lily doesn't take it to heart and asks her, "Have you communicated with the actress from Brilliant Media?"

Ella immediately has a bad look. She says helplessly, "Yeah, but she insisted on 10 million, not a penny less. She said if you won't agree, then go find someone else."

Lily is not angry, she just says, "I've read the script and it is what I want. With a good director and editor, the actors and actresses in the movie will absolutely be popular. Won't popularity earn her money?"

"I think the same as you, Ms. Lily." Ella says, "But now, actresses want nothing but money, and HS didn't perform well in the last few years. Many actresses don't dare to take risks."

Lily sighs and takes the documents of the actresses, "I'll pick another one."

Ella waits by her side. She looks at Lily, and as if she has discovered something, she suddenly says, "Ms. Lily, I don't think it's necessary. You're the perfect candidate."

"Are you joking?" Lily looks up at her and is shocked, "I don't know how to act."

"It's just a three-minute short video. You just do whatever the director says." As Ella speaks, she takes out a mirror and hands it to Lily.

Ella looks at Lily seriously, "Ms. Lily, I'm telling the truth. The story is composed by you. The best female lead must be you. Look at your facial features. They will fit with any kind of makeup."

Lily waves her hand, "You're kidding me. I can't."

"You should give it a try even if you can't." Ella is still trying to persuade her, "I know that you've watched many young directors' works these past few days, but you're not interested. The preferred director in your heart is Director Jarvis."

"But you know what Brilliant Media means. Now that everything except the female lead is ready, if you fill the vacancy, it will save you three million. And we don't have to look for new directors when we arrive at City L tomorrow."
