Chapter 318: When Smith Group Goes Bankrupt, You Can Come Work For Me
After arriving at the president’s office, Lily can hear faint speech coming from inside. She doesn’t know
if there are any guests inside.
She knocks politely.
“Enter.” Louis says and the speech continues.
Lily pushes the door and looks in. There are no guests; Louis is talking on video call. Hearing the
movement, he looks up and then immediately looks back at the screen.
Lily steps in lightly, walks up to the desk and places the lunch box on it, waiting silently.
Louis’s is speaking in English very clearly and fast.
Lily hears that he is talking about export trade. There are also several documents about export trade on
the table. As Louis reaches out for a document, she hands it to him.
His conversation about export trade lasts a full half an hour.
Once the video call is over, Louis takes off his headset.
Even after a nearly two-hour video conference, he is still in good spirits; he’s not tired at all.
Lily hands him tea and sighs enviously, “As expected, Mr. Louis Smith, you are such a difficult partner.
Already persuaded people and even set the date to sign the contract.”
Louis raises his eyebrows slightly, “Well, if you know what the other party needs, just keep mentioning
that. If they think that the profit is low then I will give him the price that they want.”
Lily squints at him, “Are you that kind?”
“If you don’t know how to deduct money from other places then you can’t be the boss.” Louis takes a
sip of the hot tea, “We have to pay money to make money in business.”
“Capitalists are really smart and powerful.” Lily says in awe.
She opens the lunch box and takes out the food, “My mom asked me to bring you this. Oh! I remember,
you don’t like pig trotters. Should I solve this problem for you?”
“Preferences can be changed.” Louis pulls the lunch box towards himself to prevent her from taking
advantage of it, “Besides, if my mother-in-law sent it, then I must eat it all.”
Lily rolls her eyes, “You are really shameless. There wasn’t even a marriage proposal, but you are
calling her mother-in-law.”
Louis looks at her hand, “Aren’t you wearing a ring?”
“This is just from the game!”
“I know! It is not grand or romantic enough for Mrs. Smith.” Louis touches his phone, “I will call the
designer over and let him talk to you in person to see what style of ring you want.”
Lily grabs his phone away from him, “It will be a waste of money to buy another ring. You eat your pig
trotters!”
If the designer really comes to Smith Group, then their relationship would be known to the entire
building in minutes.
Louis chuckles in a low voice.
Lily wants to leave after lunch, so as to not provide fuel to the gossips. However, Louis starts to teach
her about the Z City project and makes her sit beside him.
Louis talks about the project thoroughly and Lily listens to him attentively.
As the key points of the project are finished, so is the food.
“Leave it to me, I will definitely be able to do it!” Lily packs up the lunch box, looking ambitious, “If I
don’t find something to do, my mind will get rusty.”
Louis touches his chin, “Are you interested in being the vice president? There are many things to do,
you will definitely be not idle.”
“No!” Lily unexpectedly refuses, “If I was at any other company, I would have done it. It’s a great
opportunity. But not here at Smith Group.”
“Why?”
Lily frowns, “Although our relationship is a secret, I come to you frequently and some people seems to
have noticed. Some people in the R department are already dissatisfied with me. If I become the vice
president, their unpleasant words will definitely reach the share holders’ ears and they will give you
trouble.”
Louis smiles, “The one that holds the most shares is me. Are you still afraid that the share-holders will
unite to impeach me?”
“No, I am just worried that things will not sound so good for you” Lily purses her lips and smiles, “I
prefer to prove myself with my abilities and shut their mouths.”
She has a confident smile on her face. She looks charming and beautiful.
Sometimes, a smile can make people fall in love…
Louis pulls her into his arms and kisses her slender white fingers. He smiles lightly, “Watching Mrs.
Smith grow daily into such a confident capable woman, I am afraid I will be left behind.”
Lily gives him a blank look and mutters, “I wish! I know how lacking I am in so many areas. I wish you
were a bit lacking too, so I won’t feel so stressed.”
“Are you blaming me for being too smart?”
“Humph!” Lily purses her lips and tells him her future plan, “I have it all figured out. After learning all the
skills here, I will leave and open my own company!”
“Your ambition is good.” Louis nods in agreement, “Then you must spend even more time with me.
Look carefully at who I am talking to, accumulate contacts and prepare for your own thing.”
He asks her, “Where do you want to open the company?”
Lily points out the window boldly and says, “Just buy that building next to Smith Group!”
“I am really sorry, that is also our property.” Louis sighs, “If I have to sell it, I will sell it for at least three
billion.”
“Three billion…? Are you that crazy for money?” Lily is dumbfounded and takes a deep breath, “Okay,
then I will rent it if I can’t afford to buy it! I want to take all Smith Groups business away and make it go
bankrupt!”
Louis has a deep smile in his eyes, “Judging by your attitude, I’d say the chance of success is very
high. Then, after destroying Smith Group, what plans do you have, Mrs. Smith?”
Lily stares at him with a deep smile, “I’ll let you work for me and be your boss.”
“You want to open your own company for this?”
“Can’t I?” Lily retorts fiercely, “Who asked you back then to order me around like that? That trip to
Turkey was the most unforgettable trip of my life!”
“I will destroy your arrogant capitalist pride and make you learn what it means by the fall from fortune! I
have since long been imagining you working for me.”
Louis can’t help but laugh.
These brave words of his wife are… so cute!
Seeing him laughing, Lily punches him lightly, “What are you laughing at? Don’t you believe that I can
do it?”
“No, I do believe that Mrs. Smith can do it.” Louis becomes serious, a light smile still playing around the
corners of his mouth, “When Smith Group goes bankrupt, I will definitely ask you to take me in and take
care of me.”
Lily gives him a blank look.
They both chat for a long time. Lily is afraid of the secretaries coming in to deliver documents, so she
gets up to leave.
When she is at the door, she remembers the safety talisman. She takes it out of her pocket and turns
around to give it to Louis.
Louis asks, “Did you request it?”
“No, a friend got it from a very spiritual temple in Japan.” The humbly requesting Yuna comes into her
mind, holding the talisman out for her to take.
She still doesn’t understand why she did that.
“You should keep it then.” Louis hands it back.
“You take it!” Lily pushes it back.
There is a feeling in her heart that Louis needs to have the talisman for her to feel at ease. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I am giving it to you, think of it as if I personally got it for you.”
Louis laughs.
He is an atheist and does not believe in a talisman to keep him safe, but it is the love of the person he
loves, so he accepts it.
After Lily goes out, he opens the drawer and puts the peace symbol inside it.
He inadvertently glances at it, seeing the ancient god figure embroidered on it. It looks inexplicably
familiar. He takes it out again and observes it carefully.
The embroidery on it is not machine done, but is done by a person with a thread and needle. The
embroidery is excellent and the picture is vivid and awe-inspiring.
Louis frowns. The feeling of unease from a long time ago surges back.
Why does this embroidery look so familiar to him?
