After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453 Business Banquet

A week later, the Bead chain e-commerce platform went viral in Kensbury City.
Because of its celebrity spokesperson, propaganda, sales promotion, and features of convenience, it was popular with office workers. The number of its user skyrocketed from fewer than 20, 000 to 2 million, which merely spent a week. The business circles had been stunned by its growth in users.
Seeing the statistics, Hannah couldn't help admiring Tan's capacity. She gave him this project to work on and was pleasantly surprised by his answers. She was right about him.
Rose came into her office and said, " Ms Hannah, you've told me that you were going to participate in the business banquet tonight. I just asked the president's secretary, and Mr Cooper said he won't go to the banquet if you go."
"Right." Hannah nodded and said, "He is getting old, and he should spend more time with my mom."
Rose smiled a little. Back then she used to feel that Hannah's family was untouchable. Especially when Roger Cooper was still in the company, the family looked cocky and arrogant.
But now she worked for Hannah, which made her think the Cooper family was as sweet as an ordinary one.
"Well, you don't have to go with me tonight. I'll ask Tan to go with me. I plan to introduce him to some businessmen for his future work."
"Did you desert me?" Rose asked seriously.
Hannah was kind of speechless because she didn't expect Rose would be jealous.
"I just don't want to occupy your time. You'll be there to take care of me most of the time if you go with me. It's unnecessary." Hannah said honestly, "Don't worry. You mean a lot to me and no one can replace you."
After hearing Hannah's words, Rose set her mind at rest and said, "OK, Ms Hannah."
"Did you book my formal dress?"
"Yes. It's waiting for you right there." Rose answered.
"Okay." Hannah responded and looked down to see the time, "Tell Tan to meet me down the building in half an hour."
"OK."
Rose left the office.
After approving some documents, Hannah went downstairs with Jimmy at the appointed time.
Tan had been waiting for her out of the gate, "Ms Hannah."
"Let's go." Hannah said, "We're going to participate in a business banquet tonight. And now we'll go to get some formal clothes."
"OK."
Tan followed her into the car.
They arrived at an international shopping mall. Hannah went to try the formal dress she booked and also asked the staff to select a set of suits for Tan.
After getting dressed, they stood at the French window.
Tan said, "You looked stunning."
"You too." Hannah looked at him.
Tan didn't make people immediately feel he was handsome, but he looked kind of dignified.
Gentlemen who were strict with their proprieties and were confident would be given a seven out of ten.
"Is this suit a gift?" Tan kidded.
"So you thought I'm going to ask you to pay."
"No. I just felt you're generous."
"It's a reward for your good work."
"Thank you."
Hannah nodded lightly and said, "Wait for me a minute, I'm going to do my makeup."
"OK."
Tan answered, sitting on the sofa next to him, while Hannah walked into the dressing room.
The two rooms were connected.
Tan glanced at Hannah intentionally or not and then looked down to read the magazine, looking composed and relaxed.
At 6 PM, they went to the banquet hall together. There were only a few people in the hall because it was early.
Hannah looked around and realized that the person she wanted to meet didn't show up yet. So she brought Tan straight to the dessert area and said, "We can find something to eat."
"OK." Tan took some desserts and ate.
Seeing Hannah eat a lot, Tan laughed and said, "Ms Hannah, I've never seen a pretty lady eat dessert like you. You don't have the fear of gaining weight?"
"Health matters a lot," Hannah said.
Of cause, she couldn't have said she was preparing for pregnancy.
Tan smiled again because he admired her not only for her ability but also for her honesty and direct manner of expressing her thoughts.
When they were eating the desserts, a woman's voice suddenly came behind them.
"Hannah,"
Hannah didn't have to turn around to know it was Susan. She knew Susan liked all sorts of parties and banquets for having fun.
"You've eaten so many sweets, haven't you?" Looking at the desserts on Hannah's plate, Susan was surprised, "Aren't you afraid your tummy will pop out?"
"That's why I selected a looser evening dress."
"Clever." Susan sniffed.
Seeing Susan in a revealing dress, Hannah frowned and said, "You wear so little, what if you catch a cold?"
"I won't catch a cold. Now I'm as strong as an ox!"
"Take care of yourself." Hannah didn't forget to remind her.
"Stop repeating this." Susan said impatiently, "Anyway, Henry is there, I'm going. "
"..." Hannah compressed her lips and watched Susan leave.
Tan noticed Susan and asked, "Is she Susan everybody talked about?"
"Is she famous?" Hannah had to ask.
"I've occasionally heard that her personality is kind of... distinctive."
"She's weird," Hannah said bluntly.
Tan smiled but didn't say a word, which means he admitted what Hannah just said.
"Sometimes I envy her being happy all day and free from trouble, but sometimes I also wish she could be more scheming. Whatever, let it be." Hannah wiped her mouth and asked, "You finished?"
"Finished."
"Let's go. The big man has shown up." Hannah took a deep breath.
Tan also smoothed his suit. Then the two of them walked up to Bills Jones, a leading figure in International E-Commerce.
Bills was the one who negotiated the international e-commerce project with the Sawyer Group. For a field trip on the e-commerce platform, he came here, to the country of Northfield.
Hannah came up and greeted him, "Hello, Mr Jones. I'm Hannah Wells from the Cooper Group."
Bills frowned lightly and didn't seem familiar with Hannah. The assistant next to him was introducing her in his ear.
Then Bills said eagerly, "Nice to meet you, Mrs Wells, I'm so grateful to meet you here."
"I'm grateful to see you, too."
They shook hands and made a few polite remarks.
Then Hannah said, "I heard that this time you want to build an international e-commerce platform here in Northfield."
"Are you interested in it?"
"Exactly."
"Oh?" Bills smiled, "But I've heard the Sawyer Group was very active on this project. And we've reached a tentative deal."
"If you're satisfied with the Sawyer Group, I believe you won't show up here."
Hannah said these words with extreme confidence.
