Secret Crush novel Chapter 106

‘Cotton?’ Leila was surprised to hear his decision. ‘What did Max want with cotton?’

However, Leila also knew that Max was making up for the mistake she had made. He must have a reason to do so, and for the ability of Max, Leila has never doubted it.

Leila nodded and said, "I see."

Max gave her a bleak look, and then he turned around and walked into the farm.

Leila was not in charge of the interior decoration of the farm, but she was the supervisor. If something went wrong, it was also her responsibility.

Leila had never thought supervising the farm was an important position. Now she knew it. She felt easy to do so because there wasn’t Max, who press on at every stage. And now with Max by her side, she became more nervous.

It was because of this that Leila realized her dereliction of duty. She should have thoroughly examined it after the construction of the farm finished, so that she would not be so perturbed when Max came to examine it in person today.

Leila could always learn a lot by following Max. Although she was scolded by him today, she understand what mistakes she has made. At least, this lesson could help her do something better in the future.

Leila comforted herself in this way. Following Max, she went around the whole farm.

During this period, Max neither raised any objections nor rebuked her. When Leila walked out, she breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that she had passed this check.

When Max looked at the woman who was apparently relaxed, a strange expression flashed across his deep and long eyes. He said, "As for such a farm, its market value can only reach 70%."

Hearing the comment, Leila's face turned pale. To a certain extent, she knew Max had a special personality, and he always pursued perfection. Now his comment was a big blow to her.

Before Max has come, Leila had always felt that the farm was her most satisfactory work. Now, she has been beaten into pieces by Max. Anyone would feel uncomfortable, let alone her, for the farm was the work that she has painstakingly done.

However, no matter how dissatisfied Leila was with Max's behavior, she did not dare to say it in front of him.

"Many details are not fully completed. It’s not only your problem, these construction workers should also be responsible for part of it. I hope to see a perfect farm before the press conference."

Max was making orders. Hearing that, Leila was somewhat depressed. No one was able to be confident and face the matter calmly after a series of blows. She was just an ordinary woman, so she could not be so calm.

"If you can't do it, don't force yourself. I'll send someone else to perfect it," said Max in a low voice, for he has been clearly aware of her emotional change.

Although it was a typical way to goad her into beating, Leila still fell into the trap. No one was willing to give their child to a stepmother. She raised her little face and said obstinately, "I can!"

With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, Max slowly turned around and walked towards the car. Leila followed him. "Are you going back?" she asked.

Max made a sound lightly to respond, and then he said, "Go back before it’s getting dark."

It was no doubt this was equivalent to giving her freedom. Since Leila was on holiday, she looked excited instantly. She nodded again and again, but she suddenly realized that he couldn't see her as she was standing behind him. She said, "I will."

There was some pauses on the steps of Max. Then he walked away unhurriedly. As Leila watched his receding figure, a hint of strangeness flashed across her heart.

Though at this moment Leila didn’t have any confidence in herself due to his blows, she could still feel that Max's attitude towards her was not the same as before. If it has been in the past, he would not talk to her in such a calm tone.

Besides, Leila had made such a big mistake, which made him lose a lot. It was reasonable for him to get angry. As for her, she seemed to do moral kidnapping.

At present, when Leila recalled the past, she realized that it was her fault, and what Max was supposed to do didn't happen. Leila lowered her head, wondering what was the reason behind Max's behavior.

Leila was never a person who liked to make things difficult for herself. Since she couldn't figure it out, she would like to turn around and immersed her thoughts into the work. The shortcomings mentioned by Max would be perfect by her.

Before the press conference, Leila would make the farm perfect, and then Max would look at her with new eyes.

The first problem Max has pointed out was to change the soil which had been altered by Leila without authorization into planting cotton.

When Max spoke of this decision in front of her, Leila could not understand it. Now after thinking about it, she seemed to be able to understand his intention.

Cotton fibers were short and soft, and they were much more hollow than artificial fibers or any other natural materials. Besides, they were not easy to be soaked by water, and they had a strong resistance to pressure. Moreover, they were thermal and good-looking. Therefore, cotton had a promising future.

Leila knew that the Mu Group owned a textile shop, which was the largest one in D city. It would also be a good choice to make material by taking advantage of cotton fiber.

This was a way of killing two birds with one stone. They could not only make cotton as the view of the farm to appreciate, but also take materials from it to satisfy their demand for textile.

There was a far gap between Leila and Max when it came to use local materials. Max had a very quick thinking, so he could come up with corresponding solution in the first place.
