In fact, it was just coincidental that Dillon and Lucia had come to the old house of the Qiao family. Because the news of fraud of AF Company had been disclosed in time, the Qiao family did not suffer any loss. However, during this period, the other project that Dillon was handling had not made substantial progress. Joe had asked him to come here to discuss business.
They were supposed to have a talk in the company, but Joe wasn't feeling well, so he asked them to come. And he asked them to come when Lily was at the school.
Although Joe was old now, he knew better than anyone else that Lily didn't like them and neither did them.
"Let's get down to business." Joe shifted the topic to a serious one. He didn't consider Kerr and Tina as outsiders, but looked at Dillon and said.
"Dillon, I have told you before. As a father, you should take good care of Eden. During this period, you are obviously tired, and there has been no substantial progress in work."
A hint of displeasure quickly flashed through Dillon's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. He said in a calm tone, "Dad, I am busy with the company management these days. Besides, since Eden entered the company, I plan to let him learn management and talk about cooperation. We will talk about it later."
"Management is important, but as a company manager, he won't talk about projects. How can he survive in the company?" Joe said and then turned to look at Lily.
"In these two days, the manager in charge of the Sales Department reported to me. The project with Qi group recently made a good progress, and the profits in the first stage were also good. It is said that this cooperation was made by Lily."
He didn't know the details of the cooperation with the Qi company. Emily only roughly introduced the details of the cooperation to the Qi company. She said that it was a business deal made by Lily and Qi company.
Hearing that Joe mentioned this, Lily frowned subconsciously. In case that Dillon was cheated by Angus, the Qiao family would definitely suffer a great loss, so she asked Emily to cooperate with Ellison on the project, which was to make up for the loss.
But now Joe mentioned it. It was obviously too high-profile and would certainly make someone unhappy.
"Grandpa, it's all her effort. I didn't help much." She said gently.
This was not the great time for she to take credit to her success. They also needed to keep a high profile. Obviously, it was not the right time yet. If she had done it too early, it would only bring her enemies and cause a lot of trouble.
"Girl, don't be so modest." Joe smiled at her and said, "Emily has told me that you personally asked her to talk with the Qi company. Is that true?"
Hearing his words, Lily looked subconsciously in the direction of Dillon. Although he did not show any expression, the one next to him was Lucia, who was staring at her.
"Grandpa, thanks to Eric, we can't succeed in the cooperation." Lily was telling the truth. If it wasn't for Eric, she wouldn't have known Ellison. Then, there wouldn't have been any cooperation.
Lily was smart. She just attributed the credit to Eric, and did not say the relationship between them.
"Girl, it has nothing to do with me. All the credit goes to you." Said Eric with a smile.
"Well, don't refuse anymore." Joe cast a glance at them and was very satisfied with Eric. He picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip. He turned around to look at Kerr and Tina.
He continued, "I'm so glad that Tina is settled, and I feel less guilty. You should take good care of Tina. She is a good woman."
He said the last sentence to Kerr.
"You can relief, I will take good care of her." Kerr looked at Joe with a confident smile.
"Yes." Joe nodded and smiled. "I believe in you. From your care for Tina these days and your love for her, I know that you are a trustworthy man."
"Thank you, Mr. Joe." He answered with a smile, and then looked at Tina next to him with doting eyes. "Tina, I know that you have always treated Mr. Joe as your own father. When I want to hold the wedding, he gives your hand to me in person. What do you think?"
Tina didn't answer his question at once. She gave a thankful look to Kerr and turned to Joe, looking forward to his answer. "Dad, do you want to?"
"Haha..." Joe laughed for a while and stopped laughing. Because of excitement, he nodded with tears in his eyes, "yes… Of course, I do. I have always treated you as my own daughter. Now that my daughter has married, as her father, I must hand my daughter over to my son-in-law in person."
Hearing this, Tina smiled, "Thank you, Dad."
"My silly girl, you are welcome." Joe looked at her affectionately.
Hearing the conversation between them, Kerr smiled. He had no interest in Joe at all.
