He then takes her phone away from her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKent, this is Louis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louis puts Kent on loudspeaker so that Lily could also listen to their conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Lily then listens to their conversation while she eats. Louis simplifies many of the jargons on purpose along the way. In the end, Lily has finally able to catch up to the content of the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>After hanging up the call, Louis returns the phone to Lily, \u201cYou hasn\u2019t been involved in the industry before. It is only normal that you don\u2019t understand the jargons. David will send you some relevant information. You will learn from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Smith, are you abusing your authority for your personal gain?\u201d David purposely voices out, \u201cIf Miss Lily needs information, she should look for it in HZ Group, why should we give her the Smith Group\u2019s?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose information HZ Group has isn\u2019t good enough,\u201d Louis squints his eyes and replies David coldly, \u201cEat, and speak less.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lily knows Louis\u2019s good intention. She sincerely thanks him, \u201cThank you, Mr. Smith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lily leave David\u2019s house after chilling at his place after lunch. She has to finish all the information David passes to her as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>After Lily Left, Louis is leaving too.<\/p>\n<p>David stops him with a sincere smile on his cheeks, \u201cMr. Smith, you have already wasted the whole morning today. You might as well spare me a few minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David then whistles loudly. Louis sees an ugly German Shepherd run towards them. He quickly pushes David in front of him as a shield with an irritable look.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Smith, it is a dog. He hasn\u2019t got much fur,\u201d David says, \u201cCan you take care of him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPardon?\u201d Louis glares at David coldly.<\/p>\n<p>David quickly explains, \u201cMr. Smith, this is not an ordinary dog. It is a German Shepherd. It is intelligent, and it can guard your house for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a security system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat about when you go out? It could help you to carry stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a driver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Everything David says gets rejected by Louis. David starts to feel exhausted. Suddenly, he has an idea, \u201cMr. Smith, did I tell you that Miss Lily gave it a name? It is called Rich.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David continues, \u201cMiss Lily wanted to adopt it, but her house doesn\u2019t have a yard. It isn\u2019t suitable to be kept in an apartment either. She named the cat Lucky, and the dog Rich. Don\u2019t you think the names brings good luck?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louis dodges the dog emotionlessly when he sees it trying to approach him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He is not interested in taking care of pets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Smith, please think about it again,\u201d David continues persuading Louis, \u201cMiss Lily likes it very much.  If you adopt it, you can bring it to visit Miss Lily at her house in the future. I\u2019m sure she would be glad to invite you in for a cup of tea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louis chuckles, \u201cDo you think I need to rely on it to get my cup of tea?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David strokes his chin and says, \u201cI remember Miss Lily doesn\u2019t really want to spend time with you, don\u2019t you think too, Mr. Smith?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under the persuasion of David, Louis is holding a cage with a German Shepherd puppy and some dog food in it when he leaves David\u2019s house. It looks like a perfect picture, but Louis doesn\u2019t seem very happy.<\/p>\n<p>On his way back home, Louis keeps looking at the cage that he put on the passenger seat. The German Shepherd puppy looks at him and shakes its tail. It\u2019s like it is saying that it wants to come out and play.<\/p>\n<p>Louis looks away and pinches between his brows, \u201cI must be crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louis hates animals, but he adopts one now, just because Lily likes them. His limit keeps changing based on her likings.<\/p>\n<p>This is insane!<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Lily is speechless.<\/p>\n<p>Lily promises herself that she is never going to come out with them again.<\/p>\n<p>When Lily arrives at the office, she starts to process all the documents that have been left on her desk for two days. Her assistant comes in after a while and informs her that she made an appointment for Lily and the person in charge of the Fansian Company this morning.<\/p>\n<p>Lily quickly brings the contract she prepared along with her assistant and heads straight to the coffee shop.<\/p>\n<p>The Fansian Company imported the equipment from D Country, and they are very efficient. However, the price of the equipment is too costly and HZ Group doesn\u2019t really need a large quantity of the product, so they planned to outsource the project to the Fansian Company.<\/p>\n<p>The Fansian Company had collaborated with HZ Group and the Smith Group before, and they had a smooth collaboration back then. When Lily approaches them with a humble attitude, the person in charge makes a call and then signs the contract almost immediately.<\/p>\n<p>The person in charge of the Fansian Company leaves right after he signed the contract and refuses Lily\u2019s offer for lunch. So Lily sends them out from the coffee shop.<\/p>\n<p>When Lily is about to get a cab back to the office, someone calls her name from behind.<\/p>\n<p>There is a woman who dressed elegantly smiling at her. She looks classier than the other women on the street.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you Lily?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Lily takes a few looks on the woman. She is pretty sure that she hasn\u2019t met the woman before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Daniel\u2019s mother,\u201d the elegant woman smiles at her again, \u201cShall we talk in the coffee shop?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daniel\u2019s mother?<\/p>\n<p>Lily doesn\u2019t know how Daniel\u2019s mother knows about her. Out of courtesy, she walks into the coffee shop again with Daniel\u2019s mother and finds a seat beside the window.<\/p>\n<p>After they are seated, Daniel\u2019s mother asks, \u201cI heard that your parents divorced when you are young and that you are taking care of your siblings alone?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Lily replies calmly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s great that you enrolled into the University of Newcastle despite the fact that you are born in such a family,\u201d Daniel\u2019s mother stares at Lily in a rather unfriendly look, \u201cAnd you even get to such a high position now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2153","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
