A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 438: Who's the Boss Behind the Scenes?

Raising his head and seeing David just standing there, Louis frowns, "Don't you understand what I

said?"

"Mr. Smith, are you serious?" David looks at Louis in shock, "Besides being the face of three

international brands, she can also star in two movies with huge investment? Famous leading actresses

can't always star in movies of this kind."

He ventures a guess, "Mr. Smith, are you trying to help Ms. Lily because of HS Company's limited

budget? Have you broken up with Ms. Lily or not?"

"Just do as I say." Louis squints, saying in an unhappy tone, "As for the reason, I don't need to tell you."

David reminds him, "Mr. Smith, the senior management of Merci Company will know it."

"So?"

David is tongue-tied.

'Got it!'

'Mr. Smith puts his company aside to help Ms. Lily. What else can I say?'

David sighs deeply and goes back to work.

He contacts the senior management of Best Taste Entertainment to tell them what Louis wants them to

do, and then calls the promising young actress’ agent.

When the agent knows that her actress can be three luxury brands' ambassador and star in two movies

and that the Smith Group will cover the additional fee, she agrees to sign the contract for her actress to

make a three-minute video. She feels overjoyed because it's a stroke of luck.

Louis has given the opportunity to the actress for no reason. Afraid that other people in the company

would be suspicious of her relationship with Louis, David spreads the word, telling people that it has

nothing to do with Louis. It's exhausting.

And David has done all of this for Mr. Smith!

After he finishes his work and returns to his office to take a break, Sofia comes in with documents.

She looks beautiful, slender and capable in the white shirt and suit trousers.

"They're last quarter's documents. The data has been checked." Sofia puts the documents on the table.

Seeing that David is exhausted, she asks, "I haven't seen you in the company in the last two days. Do

you have a lot of things to do?"

"Yes." David picks up a cup of coffee and takes a few sips before replying, "The promotion plan for the

new perfume of HS Company has been finalized. A young actress of Best Taste Entertainment has

been chosen to be the face."

Sofia feels curious, "Then someone of Best Taste Entertainment should communicate with HS

Company. Why put you in charge?"

David hesitates for a moment. Thinking that it's not a secret and that Sofia's also a member of the

Smith Group, he hands the document to her, "HS Company's funds are limited. It can only pay the

actress three million to make the video."

"Is that so?" Sofia glances over the document and says to David, "I heard that HS Company signed a

valuation adjustment mechanism with Merci Company of the Smith Group. The Smith Group is doing

something that would have an adverse effect on the mechanism. Does the senior management of

Merci Company agree to do so?"

David shrugs, saying with a helpless face, "It's Mr. Smith's decision. They can't disagree. I'm wondering

whether Mr. Smith still loves Ms. Lily."

Lowering her eyes, Sofia smiles and says in a soft tone, "He may want to make amends to Ms. Lily.

When the Smith Group was involved in the family fighting, it was Ms. Lily who was running the Smith

Group. Current success of the Smith Group can be partly credited to her."

"If the perfume doesn't get popular, HS Company will fail in the mechanism, and Ms. Lily is most likely

to be dismissed. Mr. Smith doesn't want to see that. He helps her because they had a relationship."

David agrees with Sofia.

'Mr. Smith and Ms. Lily have parted ways. It must because of the old days.'

'However, Mr. Smith has helped her too many times after the breakup, doesn't he?

David remembers something. He looks at Sofia with a puzzled expression, "I haven't told you anything

about Ms. Lily in the Smith Group. Why do you know that?"

Pointing to the ground, Sofia says, "I'm a woman, and women gossip. So, I can know everything in the

bathroom or the pantry from other women."

"Yes. Women gossip." David doesn't think much of it. He shakes his head with a smile.

…

Although Chandler lives in Louis’ place, he talks to Lily on WeChat every day.

For example, he has complained to her that Louis’ obsessed with cleanliness, who will call a cleaner if

his house is not clean enough. And he has to eat take-out meals every day. If he says that he doesn't

want to get take-out anymore, Louis will cook. However, the food Louis cooks tastes bad. He also takes

pictures of the food Louis cooks and sends them to Lily, saying, "Fortunately, Louis is rich and he can

order take-out. If he has to cook every day, he would starve to death."

Feeling bad for Chandler, Lily replies, "Tomorrow I'll make something delicious for you and have it sent

over."

Chandler replies in no time, "Lily, you are the best! Louis is not at home all the time. And all he knows is

to give me money. I hope that he will not cook again. I don't want to eat the food he cooks."

Lily says, "I told you to stay with me, but you didn't come."

Chandler replies, "I won't go. I'll keep an eye on Louis and see who his new lover is. However, I've lived

with Louis for so long. He always comes back on time at night. And he doesn't smell like another

woman."

Lily, "... You live there just to keep an eye on him?"

Chandler, "Yes. Lily, do you think that he likes men now since there is no woman around him?"

Lily doesn't know what to say, 'How does he draw a conclusion like that? Does he read about it in some

book?'

Then, her phone rings, and it's John. Instead of replying to Chandler, she answers the phone first.

John asks, "Is everything alright in Yorkshire?"

"Yes." Lily looks at the time and smiles, "It's busy hour now. Why are you calling me? Aren't you busy?"

"I'm not busy. I miss you so much, so I called you." The man's voice is gentle and sexy.

Lily pretends not to hear it and asks, "When are you coming?"

"It'll take some more time." John sighs. He feels helpless and anxious.

Knowing that Louis is in Yorkshire, he wants to go to Yorkshire and stay with Lily. In this way, Louis and

Lily won't have a chance to get in touch. However, there are many things to do, and he doesn't have

any trusted subordinates in Country R.

Lily frowns and asks with curiosity, "Why are you so busy? Is the company preparing a big project?"

"It is a big project." John pauses for a moment and asks her in a low voice, "Do you know the 'QY

Plan'?"

"No. What kind of project is it?"

John says, "The Internet is well developed now, and a growing number of devices are connected to

mobile networks. As of last December, the number of mobile broadband subscribers in the world has

reached 10 billion. The explosive growth in mobile data traffic will have a series of consequences,

including slowdown of data processing, long delay when downloading, and instability of global

communication."

"So QY Plan is research on latest mobile communication technology?" Lily understands right away and

gasps, "This project is not an ordinary one, nor can it be completed in two or three years. Don't tell me

that you built a laboratory and recruited some professionals because you want to develop this mobile

communication technology."

"I had this idea a long time ago, but I didn't expect someone to be ahead of me." John says, "There's

someone in Country R implementing the QY Plan already. It's Mr. Tezuka. He worked for IK, and now

he's the leader of the team working on the plan." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

After a pause, he continues, "However, the boss behind the QY Plan is not a local investor from

Country R. I heard that he was from Country Z. He would provide unlimited financial support for Mr.

Tezuka's team to do the research."
