Beloved Old Lover

The moon rises and falls, night turns to day, and more than a month has passed in a flash.

Kurt has signed his first few contracts, all of which are to supply goods to foreign markets.

His company gives priority to workers with permanent residence in this area, creating jobs and providing a stable source of income for them.

Today, according to a pre-scheduled appointment, Emily and Kurt welcomed customers from abroad to visit the production facility as well as the place that supplies raw materials for production before they decide to sign a contract.

Standing in front of the vast mountain of bamboo and rattan, the group of customers appeared very satisfied, some even took out their phones to film and take pictures.

“I stood up to assure my boss of your abilities, so don’t make me lose face. Quality and production schedules must be guaranteed.” The foreign man spoke up.

“Yes, please rest assured, human resources and materials are ready so we will deliver the goods as committed in the contract.” Kurt firmly affirmed.

Kurt’s partners were mostly introduced by his friends. Of course, they have been in business for a long time and have had places to supply goods and cooperate over the past time.

But out of respect for this friend of his, they gave him the opportunity and put him on the list of new partners to review the cooperation process and then move on to long-term cooperation.

After seeing the customers in the car, Kurt and Emily continued to return to the factory to urge the workers.

There are not many office staff, there is only one accountant in charge of records related to invoices and taxes, a few people specializing in handicrafts and Emily will handle other tasks as a general staff.

Her experience working at Unicons Group is enough for her to manage in this new working environment.

Kurt also wanted his brand to have domestic recognition. So a week ago, he opened a store to display and sell products manufactured by the company in the south of the city and plans to open a few more stores in the north of the city.

“Come to the city with me tomorrow. Some friends there said there were a few premises that had just been returned and wanted to rent them to someone else. Let’s go there and see.” Kurt gave the bottle of chilled water to Emily and said gently.

“Okay, by the way, I also want to visit the tailor shop owner.”

Kurt nodded and continued walking around the factory, occasionally bending down to remind the workers to follow the team leader’s original instructions.

Emily opened the cap of the water bottle, took a sip, and then returned to the office to process documents.

She knows that once the company grows, the staff will increase and she may no longer do this job but have another title to conveniently meet business partners.

At the same time, in the room of the president of Unicons Group, Venn was standing in front of Kevin, waiting for his decision.

Recently, Venn has traveled throughout the provinces and cities in the country and chosen ideal locations to implement projects to build tourist and resort areas.

Some places are mountainous areas, some places are coastal areas, and the transportation infrastructure is good and full of exploitation potential.

“It’s fine. This afternoon, hold a meeting, approve the shareholders’ opinions, and then proceed with the purchase as quickly as possible.” Kevin said after flipping through the last page.

“Yes.”

Venn bowed to Kevin before leaving the room.

Yesterday, he went to the north side of the city. He didn’t know what invisible force made him enter the Rose tailor shop even though before that, he had no intention of sewing more clothes.

When he asked about Emily, the tailor shop owner told him that she had quit her job a long time ago, and the place where she used to work was now another tailor.

Since the time Kevin staggered out of that tailor shop, he had not mentioned anything about her and had not asked Venn to investigate or find out.

So even though Venn knew Emily was gone, Venn didn’t dare open his mouth to tell his boss, afraid that his boss would say he was free.

When noon came, Kevin told Sara not to buy him lunch and instead took the elevator down to the company canteen.

This was also the first time he came down to have a meal with the company’s employees.

The number of employees in this building is very large, so departments will rotate to come here, ten minutes apart.

That’s why their working hours and off-work hours are also different.

“Oh my God, there is a miraculous sign. Today, the boss went down to the company canteen to eat.” An employee of the sales department exclaimed.

Lisa was just about to put the rice in her mouth when she stopped and turned her head to look as soon as she heard the person across from her speak.

Her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw the person of her dreams standing there taking the food. Suddenly, she had the feeling that he was here because of her.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Boss.”

Venn raised his hand and called out. He felt like the Moon was about to change places with the Sun.

If Emily suddenly applied for a job at the canteen, he wouldn’t be surprised by Kevin’s appearance.

Hearing his old assistant call, Kevin immediately walked over and sat in the empty seat next to him.

The female employees nearby took the opportunity to open their eyes wide and look at the golden man at close range.

“Why did you come here to eat today?” Venn spoke up to ask on behalf of many employees of Unicons Corporation.

“I want to try some food.” Kevin replied nonchalantly.

Venn nodded and continued to put rice in his mouth.

At this time, the administrative department began to come out to eat. As soon as the manager saw Venn, he immediately rushed over, boasting that a few days ago he had free time to go to the north side of the city to make clothes at the address Venn gave him.

However, when he asked the tailor named Emily, the owner of the tailor shop told him that she had been out of work for more than a month.

He was so busy talking that he didn’t see the president of the Unicons group who was also sitting here.

After saying that, he ran to get food.

Lisa secretly looked at Kevin and saw that the expression on his face was still normal, nothing had changed.

Lately, she often calls to talk to Jessica and knows that Kevin often comes home after work. She guessed maybe he and that girl were over.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was Saturday. Early in the morning, Kurt and Emily got in the car and headed straight to the city.

Behind the car are handicraft items according to new models that have just been produced.

The morning sunlight was blocked by a mist that had not yet dissipated, making the landscape in the peaceful countryside seem to be painted in a green color, giving people a feeling of unreality, like seeing a painting.

“Did you talk to the rattan garden owners in the neighboring districts yesterday?” Emily asked as she put gum in her mouth and chewed.

“I talked to them but they said to let them check the price again. Perhaps seeing that we need raw materials, they want to increase prices.” He replied, his eyes still focused on looking ahead.

Emily leaned back in the car seat and closed her eyes. Yesterday, she got caught in a few drops of rain, so today she showed signs of catching a cold.

Her head ached a bit and her body was tired, but she still tried to follow Kurt even though when he came to pick her up, he noticed her listless expression and suggested that she stay and rest.

At nearly nine o’clock in the morning, both of them were at the store. Kurt entrusted the management here to a girl who used to work as a waitress in the Paradise pub.

When she went there for a job interview, she was a work-study student and when she graduated, she applied to work at a company specializing in providing and installing security systems.

However, because her boss pulled her out to drink with customers many times, her stomach hurt.

As a result, she resigned and contacted Kurt, offering to return to Paradise pub to work, but he told her to come work for him.

“I was about to call you. Just had a customer order two hundred rattan chairs and one hundred bamboo lanterns according to this model. He also gave me deposit money.” The manager happily pointed to the display shelf.

“Okay, let me check and then I will inform you about the delivery date.” Kurt nodded.

Next, he told the employees to go to the car to get some display items and then check the store’s records with Emily.

Although he just opened this store not long ago, he has already received medium orders and he knows that most of the credit belongs to the employees here.

After chatting and encouraging the manager and staff, Kurt took Emily to see the places his friend recommended.

In the end, both of them decided to choose a location on the north side of the city, quite close to the Rose tailor shop and a location near the Wine Company.

The city is hot at noon, the sun brings with it the peak heat signaling the coming rains.

Both of them stopped in front of the cafe decorated in a classic Western style and ordered a cup of iced black coffee and a glass of orange juice.

“Call it fate, right? We’ll go around and then come back to the old place.” Kurt smiled, gently stirring the cup of iced coffee.

“Yes, this is fate. There are places when I first went through, I thought I would go through it only once but then I went through it a few more times.” She smiled, dreamily looking out at the road dyed yellow by the sunlight.

While relaxing, Kurt’s phone rang. Seeing that the caller was an employee of his company, he immediately picked up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, the man quickly informed him that the representative who signed the sales contract with him did not allow workers to go up the mountain to harvest rattan and bamboo.

The reason Jonathan gave was that he had sold the whole mountain and the land at the foot of the mountain to someone else.

“What’s the matter?” Emily asked worriedly when she saw the face of the person opposite her suddenly darken.

“Jonathan suddenly stopped our workers from harvesting rattan and bamboo, he said he had sold the whole mountain to someone else.” Kurt tightened his grip on the phone, and his breathing became heavy.

“Is he crazy? He signed the contract and received your money. Let’s go, we have to quickly go back to see what’s going on. He sold the entire mountain, not a small piece of land. He didn’t say anything before that.”

She said as she waved her hand to signal a nearby waiter to give her the bill.

She guessed that the greedy old man wanted to increase the price a bit so he played a trick. But the price in the contract has already been signed, he can’t win if Kurt sues in court.

However, the company has just started operations, so she wants to resolve everything most peacefully and smoothly.

A company involved in lawsuits will cause it to lose its good image in the eyes of everyone.

The car quickly left the city. During the whole journey, Emily did not dare close her eyes to sleep even though she was very tired. She thought everything would go well and get better and better.

Without that source of raw materials, Kurt’s company will not be able to deliver goods to customers on time.

Even if the customer agrees to extend the delivery time, it cannot be extended for too long.

“It’ll be okay, don’t worry too much.” Kurt reassured Emily because he saw her constantly biting her finger.

“Yes, he just wanted to make some extra money.” She nodded, her voice trembling slightly.
