A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 254: Now We Own the HZ Group

After signing the contract, Lily lets out a sigh of relief. She doesn't want to stay in the President's office

any longer and says, "David, you are too busy. I'll send this contract to the HR department."

David is embarrassed.

Glancing at the gloomy expression on his boss’ face, he stutters, "Mr. Smith, you see, Ms. Lily takes

away the contract from me...."

"There's a lot of work in the New York branch. You should stay there for a few more months."

"Mr. Smith...."

"Half a year."

"What about my Elizabeth?!"

"Eight months!"

David doesn't dare to speak and forces a smile. "I'm going back to pack up!" he says.

"Get out."

"...."

Who knows how sad he is?

Lily goes to the HR department to deliver the contract and gets the elevator card and nameplate for the

senior managers.

When she takes the elevator up, she happens to meet Director Carmen.

When Director Carmen sees her, his gentle face goes gloomy.

"Director Carmen." Lily smiles.

After greeting him, she calmly enters the elevator, presses the close button, and the elevator slowly

goes up.

The vibe in the elevator is a little awkward.

Director Carmen glances at Lily and says, "Lily, how capable you are! You went to the HZ Group to

work before and now come back to the Smith Group. You have to be clear that you will fall on evil days

if you go against me."

"That is why I want to come back," Lily sneers, "Director Carmen, don't think that no one knows about

your dirty things. If there are secrets, there will definitely be loopholes!"

Director Carmen's eyes shines sharply as he says gloomily, "Don't you want your mother to be alive?"

"You can't hurt my mother again," Lily is not afraid, saying, "My brother won't let you off. I come back to

the Smith Group to find evidence of your money laundering!"

When the elevator stops, Lily steps out, and Director Carmen, who is behind her, is completely irritated.

This woman is so bold that she even dares to challenge him!

Lily doesn't go to the President's office. She flips through the documents she gets from the secretary

department. She sees David passing by occasionally and wants to say something to him, but David

runs away quickly as if he is seeing a ghost.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lily goes to attend a high-level meeting.

Her presence causes the senior executives of the Smith Group to be curious. However, to avoid

awkwardness, they don't whisper to each other. And Director Carmen's expression is especially

gloomy.

Soon, Louis arrives.

After working for a day, he seems to be tired. He is wearing a shirt with no tie, looking a little casual.

The man sits down and seems not to pay attention to Lily, who is sitting at the end of the conference

table.

He raises his hand and says in a low voice, "Let's begin."

The meeting lasts for an hour and the atmosphere is serious, from the reports of various departments

to some working discussions.

The meeting comes to end when the secretary turns off the projector.

Louis closes the document folder and says, "The meeting is coming to an end. I have something else

to announce. We have solemnly hired Lily as the manager of the R Department. The contract will come

into effect today."

Everyone is stunned but quickly calms down.

Even the newly promoted executives know that the previous manager of the R department was Lily. So

when they hear the news, they are not surprised at all.

Among the executives, Director Carmen is the least happy one. He has always maintained a sullen All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

expression. After hearing what Louis said, he expresses his disapproval.

Director Carmen says, "Mr. Smith, everyone knows why you set up the R department. The R

department has already dismissed all the corrupt employers in the Smith Group. I don't think we need it

anymore. If the people from R department wander around in other departments and randomly check

the computers, the supervisors will be dissatisfied."

Director Carmen winks at his men.

A supervisor immediately says, "I think Director Carmen is right. Besides, Ms. Lily seems to have been

working in HZ Group for a few months. She is still the Vice President of HZ Group, right?"

"Lily just came out of HZ Group and immediately joined the Smith Group. This is against the

professional rules. There are some same businesses in the two companies. If something goes wrong

with the Smith Group's projects, it is inevitable that they will suspect Ms. Lily."

Another supervisor also says, "Ms. Lily used to be an excellent interpreter here. Of course, we

welcome her back to the Smith Group. However, the interval between her entries into the two

companies is too short. It's a bit...."

Louis taps his fingers on the table expressionlessly.

After a few supervisors finish speaking, he looks at Lily and asks, "Ms. Lily, what do you want to say

about these questions?"

Lily stands up and says calmly, "Thank you very much for worrying about me. However, when I entered

the Smith Group, I signed a confidentiality agreement. If there is any leak of our projects in the future

and it is found out that I do it, I will have to compensate the Smith Group for one billion. I cannot afford

to pay this whopping price."

"Ms. Lily, there are big projects that can let you earn more than one billion," Director Carmen says,

"Can you guarantee that you won't be tempted by money?"

Lily asks him, "What is your suggestion, Director Carmen?"

"I suggest that Ms. Lily should stay at home for six months. We will pay you the relevant fees. And you

can come back to the Smith Group in six months. This will be good for you and us."

"Director Carmen's suggestion is not bad, but it's not suitable for me," Lily faintly smiles, saying, "I used

to be the acting president of the Smith Group. If I was really greedy for money, I would have run away

with billions."

She looks sharply at Director Carmen, saying, "Director Carmen, you are so nervous. It seems that you

have that kind of greedy people by your side, right? Then you must be careful. If you are not cautious,

then your reputation might be ruined by your men."

Director Carmen's lips twitch, and his expression turns awkward.

Lily is at ease. She faces everyone and says in a gentle and polite tone, "Everyone here is working for

the Smith Group; so is the R department. We will not abuse our power to investigate personal affairs.

Of course, I hope that everyone will cooperate when we conduct proper investigation."

Everyone is silent.

Department R was founded by President Louis. They are all working for the Smith Group and had no

right to interfere in Louis’ arrangement.

A supervisor plucks up the courage to say, "We support Mr. Smith's decision. We are willing to

cooperate with the R department. However, anyone can take up that post except Ms. Lily. Ms. Lily, you

just got out from the HZ Group and then entered the Smith Group so quickly...."

"I've been too busy lately. I seem to have forgotten to tell you something." Louis, who has been silent

for a long time, interrupts the supervisor.

Louis asks his secretary to turn on the projector.

Not long after, a huge, multicolored pie diagram appears. There are countless names of various

companies owned by the Smith Group on the pie.

Some supervisors have already seen the name of HZ Group and exclaim, "HZ Group!"

A few seconds later, the meeting room is in an uproar.

Lily is also dumbfounded.

A group with such a high market value is bought by the Smith Group!

Louis glances at Lily and calmly says, "Now we own the HZ Group, so there won't be any leaks of trade

secrets."
