Lily goes to the office to find Leon, and wants to ask him why he is so anxious to find her.
"Are you looking for minister? He went out an hour ago." A colleague who came early says, "But the minister told me that he has put several documents on the table. When you come back, you should deal with it first."
"Thank you."
The minister's desk is very clean, and there are two folders next to the keyboard. Lily thinks that’s the documents.
It is a French contract for the sale of several batches of goods, which needs to be translated into English, and to mark out the important items. Leon has dealt with half a page, but he has something else to deal with, so he stops there.
Lily thought it is an ordinary contract, so it doesn’t take long for her to translate, but she finds that the goods and money are not matched. There are major flaws in the contract.
It seems that someone is laundering money with the goods!
When she discovers the problems, Lily calls Leon immediately.
"Minister, there is a problem with the 0237 document." Lily tells Leon about the problem in the contract.
"Oops!" Leon screams. "Mr. Louis gave me the documents yesterday and says that he would sign the contract a week later. I plan to let you deal with it and then give it back to David. But the other party arrived in Yorkshire a week in advance and they will sign the contract today. The secretary department deals with the documents first. It may have been taken out in the morning."
"That would be fine," Lily says, "The secretary department must have discovered the flaws in the translation. They might have revised the contract."
Leon only says in a deep voice, "Lily, you immediately amend the contract and print it out. Take the contract to Mr. Louis. He is in the Grandeur Hotel. They will sign the contract there at ten in the morning."
Lily couldn't help asking, "Minister, do you think there is a problem with the secretary's contract?"
"I will tell you later, quickly."
"OK!"
After hanging up the phone, Lily takes actions immediately.
When she prints the contract out, it’s already twenty past nine. She fears that she can’t catch up, so she immediately sends a message to Louis and tells him that there is a problem with the document in David’ hand.
When she gets the contract, Lily grabs the documents and bags and runs out, but there is no taxi on the roadside.
She looks at her phone again, and decides to run to the Grandeur Hotel while finding a taxi.
Is it so difficult to get a taxi today?
Lily runs too quickly, and she rubs her arm hard on the telegraph pole. Her skin flushes immediately. When she sees a taxi coming, she endures the pain and waves her hand to stop the taxi.
But the taxi just flies by in front of her.
"..."
A black babysitter car follows the taxi, but it quickly backs up, and the rear door is lowered down, and reveals a beautiful and delicate face.
"Look, who is this. Why are you so miserable?" Chloe looks at Lily and sees that her arm has been rubbed red, and Lily looks embarrassed. She is gloating, "Can't you get a taxi?"
Lily purses her mouth.
Why did she meet Chloe wherever?
"Miss Chloe, am I in a hurry. Can I get a lift?" Louis does not reply her, and it is almost ten o'clock. Lily is afraid that Louis would sign the wrong contract with the other party.
"Why should I give you a ride?" Chloe gives Lily a hard look.
Because of this woman, she was punished to write self-criticism!
