Chapter 439: Has Your Boss Changed His Taste?
"This big project can boost a country's GDP. Why didn't the government support it?" Actually, Lily is
more curious about the investor. "There are so many wealthy bosses in Country Z, so it's hard to find
out who is the investor."
John smiles and teaches her, "Capitalism always puts interests in the first place. If a country refuses to
invest, capitalism will seek other rich partners. As long as money can be made, where to apply
technologies isn't in consideration."
"I understand," Lily curls her lips. "You can say I'm sensitive, for if my country had such a technology, I
wouldn't let it fall into other people's hand."
Men will die, but money will persist.
If a person can witness a more flourishing country at his last gasp, he will definitely feel proud.
Lily asks John, "Since the QY Plan is not in your charge, why do you have to stay in Country R for so
long? Could it be that you found the person in charge and invested in this plan?"
"Jonathan also knows about the QY Plan. His men work in Mr. Tezuka's group." John says in a serious
tone, "He is also trying to contact the boss and invest in that project."
Lily is speechless with rage for a while, "Although he is a bastard, he is smart enough. Besides, he has
so many sidekicks who can even meddle into such a plan."
When she thinks about what happened to Chloe before, she wishes that she could kill Jonathan.
She clearly remembers why she makes every endeavor to help John and why she returns to Yorkshire.
She hopes that three years later, when the VAM between John and Jonathan is due, the latter one will
lose everything he owns, including power, money, and social circle. At that time, he must be very
depressed.
But now the game just starts, victory seems to favor Jonathan all the time. It is truly unfair!
Lily takes a deep breath and says calmly, "If Jonathan finds the investor and takes part in the QY Plan,
we will lose the game immediately."
"In that case, you don't need to rush back. Take care of the company in Country R and keep an eye on
Jonathan's every move. I'll be in charge of everything here. In the future, I'll attend more high-level
banquets and inquire about the investor. If I can find that investor, I will tell you as soon as possible."
"Alright," John is worried about Lily's health, "Don't be too busy with your work. You need get more
rest."
"It doesn't matter. The babies are quite obedient." Lily touches her belly. Recently, she feels that her
pregnancy bump is becoming more and more obvious. When she wears loose clothing, her pregnancy
won't be showing.
Lily sighs, "It's just that the babies are developing so well. I guess when I'm five or six months
pregnant, my belly will become obvious. I'll take advantage of this time to get everything in the
company right."
When she needs to work remotely in the future, she will feel at ease.
John can't help but laugh, "Do babies often kick your belly? Are they naughty?"
"Of course they do. They often wake me up by kicking my belly," Lily grumbles. "As their arms and feet
are developing gradually, they start to fight in my belly every day. Sometimes I also feel annoyed."
"I think that's their way of deciding who will be the big brother."
Hearing his words, Lily speaks with a wry smile, "What's the point of fighting with each other? Being the
big brother is not an easy job."
"..."
Lily is talking to John over the phone when there is a knock on the door. She immediately lowers her
voice, "I'm going to work now."
Then she hangs up the phone and lets the person outside come in.
It's her assistant Ella. Ella brings a document to Lily and utters in surprise, "Ms. Lily, the star of Best
Taste Entertainment decides to sign up with our company. She only asks for three million."
"Really?" Lily is also very surprised. She takes the document and says, "We are on a tight budget now.
Otherwise, I would offer her a higher salary."
"After I chose her, I find that she is a recent popular star of Best Taste Entertainment. I've been thinking
for the past few days that if she doesn't agree, you can go to the campus to look for other choices."
The assistant adds with a smile, "But you didn't expect that she would sign up with us at such a low
price, right?"
Lily says yes. After confirming that the contract doesn't have any error, she still feels strange, "I heard
that this star's agent is well versed in making money and is hard to deal with. Do they have any
disagreement on the contract?"
"No, and they are all very happy," the assistant says. "Especially the agent is extremely delighted as if
they got a windfall."
Hearing this, Lily frowns even more tightly. "That star can earn more than three million if she endorses
products. Now she needs to appear in a three-minute video, and she will only get three million. Why is
she still happy?"
"I heard that she is riding Mr. Smith's coattails." The assistant pauses for a moment and says hesitantly,
"Ms. Lily, could it be that the star was in a good mood and we were lucky to ask her at the right time?"
"What did you say?" Lily's heart suddenly beats heavily and she looks distracted.
That star is riding Louis’ coattails? Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She hurriedly digs up that woman's picture. After looking at it for a while, she is sure that woman is not
Louis’ type. But afterwards, she thinks to herself, "Do I really know Louis’ favorite type?"
It is said that the more mature a man is, the more likely he would fall in love with a tender, innocent and
cuddly woman.
Perhaps Louis has also changed.
Lily is getting confused. She lets her mind wander.
She lowers her head as if she's looking at the document. Her assistant doesn't pay attention to her
expression, but just sighs, "In just a few days, that star has received several offers to make
commercials for international luxury products and to work in films funded by the Smith Group."
"Now she is a star with huge fan bases, but she is not an A-list actress. Where can she get such a
good opportunity? It must be given by Mr. Smith. In the past, Mr. Smith also gave Chloe everything she
wanted. Now he has a new favorite, the star."
The assistant is quite puzzled. "It seems to be a long time since Chloe appeared on the screen. Did
she offend the top managers of Best Taste Entertainment and have been blacklisted?"
Hearing her assistant's words, Lily is calm now. She replies indifferently, "Best Taste Entertainment will
never ban Chloe from acting. Perhaps she is tired of acting and wants to further her study abroad."
The assistant nods. "That's true. Many actors choose to go abroad to study when they are tired of
acting."
"Go out if you have nothing else to report. I have to work."
"Alright, I'm out of here." The assistant doesn't want to disturb Lily anymore and leaves quickly.
Lily skims through the document, but she can't stay focused. She is anxious, because what her
assistant said just now is still lingering in her mind. She feels sad and she thinks she is useless.
She wants to get rid of that man, but when hearing that he has an affair with another woman, she feels
very uncomfortable.
To be honest, she doesn't know what's wrong with her.
Lily fills her head with foolish notions for a while. Later, she can't help but take out her phone and send
a WeChat message to David, "David, has your boss changed his taste again?"
At that time, Louis is attending a meeting in the Smith Group.
This meeting is informal.
Some top managers of Merci Company send several people to denounce Louis’ decision. They hear
that a star of Best Taste Entertainment signed a contract with HS Company, which will damage their
company's interests.
Louis is irritated by their questions. They have been arguing about benefits and VAM for more than half
an hour.
He sees his phone lighting up. He opens it and sees a message sent by Lily from the associated
number. After he logs on the social account, he is bewildered by Lily's post.
Change the taste?
What taste does he change?
