Chapter 359
At the entrance of the company, Zachary patted Lauren, who was standing in the same place in a trance, and said softly, "Sister Lim, get in the car!"
In the private room of the restaurant, looking at the fragrant food on the table, Lauren didn't have any appetite at the moment. She casually ate a few bites and put down the bowls and chopsticks.
When Zachary saw this, he said softly, "Sister Lim, are you still angry with that person?"
Lauren gently shook her head and said, "No, I am not worth it for my mother. How could she have fallen in love with such a person back then, I..."
As he spoke, Lauren choked with sobs.
Zachary knew that although Lauren did not say it, she still had a complicated feeling for her father, who had suddenly appeared.
"As long as I'm here, I won't let you be bullied." Zachary gently held Lauren's shoulder, pulled her into his arms, patted her on the back and comforted her.
Lauren curled up in Zachary's arms and quietly felt his strong arms. She seemed to have calmed down a little. After a while, she got up and smiled at Zachary, saying, "Well, your Sister Lim is not so fragile. She is disturbed by an irrelevant man. Come on, eat quickly. We still have work in the afternoon."
"Okay!" Zachary added a bowl of rice to Lauren with a smile and handed it over.
In a good mood, they finished their meal and were ready to drive back to the company. At this moment, Lauren's cell phone rang. She answered the phone, said a few words, and then hung up the phone.
After getting in the car and sitting in the back seat, Lauren patted Zachary, who was in the driver's seat, and said with a slight smile, "Mr. Ching, I have something to do at the moment so I won't go back to the company. You can work as my driver for me." Then Lauren gave her an address.
"I can't ask for anything more!" Zachary smiled and started the car.
Seeing that Lauren, who was sitting in the back seat, took out her mobile phone and notebook and kept recording something, Zachary slowed down the car.
However, after half an hour, Lauren was still checking and recording something, and she even called back to the company from time to time to ask about something. Zachary finally couldn't help but be curious. He asked, "Sister Lim, what kind of important customer are you? You think so highly of yourself!"
Lauren nodded and said, "The person we are going to meet this time is the boss of the colorful beauty salon in the provincial capital."
"The beauty salon?" Zachary was a little confused. He was really not familiar with this name.
Lauren explained, "The gorgeous beauty salon is the biggest chain beauty salon in the provincial capital. There are hundreds of shops in the whole province, and even in the outside province. It can be said to be the biggest big shot in the provincial beauty salon industry."
"He's so good. But what does it have to do with us?"
"Are you stupid?" Lauren rolled her eyes at Zachary and said, "Think about it. If my product from Lorenzo Road International can directly get the prediction of the gorgeous beauty salon, or directly enter the cargo list of their beauty salon, it will be of great help to our Lorenzo Road International."
"I see!" Zachary nodded and said.
"What's more, the owner of this beauty beauty salon is not simple." Lauren said.
"How is it not simple?"
"The boss is a woman, and she is only 34 years old." Lauren said, with a solemn look on her face.
Zachary, however, said with a smile, "That's not a big deal. You are not as good as my Sister Lim. Sister Lim, you are only 28 years old, and you are so beautiful. You are much better than the beauty salon's boss."
"You have a sweet tongue!" Lauren rolled her eyes at Zachary, but she still wore a smile on her mouth. Obviously, women always lacked resistance to praise themselves.
"However, we can't underestimate her." Lauren regained her composure and said, "The boss's name is Hu Li. People in the provincial capital call her 'sister fox' and she seems to have a lot of prestige. Legend has it that even Master Hu of the Fierce Tiger Gang has to give her some face when he sees her."
"Sister Fox!" Zachary thought about the name.
Unconsciously, they arrived at the beauty salon. Looking at the huge beauty salon, which was located in the downtown area of gold city and had five floors, Zachary had to sigh. It seemed that this fox sister was really good at it. After parking the car, the two walked into the beauty salon. Lauren reported her name, and then a staff member took the two of them to a luxurious office on the top floor.
However, she did not immediately take them in. Instead, she went to the office to inform them. The staff came out and said to them, "Please wait here for a while. Boss Hu still has something to do."
"Well, thank you!" Lauren smiled and sat down in the living room on the side of the office.
However, Zachary said discontentedly, "This fox sister is quite arrogant. It was she who invited Sister Lim to come here, but she refused to meet with us."
Lauren smiled and said, "This is a business negotiation strategy. It's easy for you to leave me on purpose. It'll be more beneficial for you to take the initiative during the negotiation."
"You still have so many bad ideas when it comes to business!" Zachary said with a pout and began to chat with Lauren from time to time.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
About a quarter of an hour later, when Zachary was a little impatient to get up and leave, the staff finally came over and said, "You two, Boss Hu invites you in."
Lauren and Zachary walked in with cold faces. As soon as they stepped on the soft carpet in the office, Zachary saw a woman in her thirties sitting behind a huge solid wood desk opposite.
The woman's curly hair was dyed a striking red, and her bright red lips seemed to drip out. The corners of her eyes were slightly upward, which made her as charming as a fox. She lived up to her title of "Fox". "Please take a seat!" The fox sister smiled at Zachary and Lauren.
The two sat opposite to each other. Lauren smiled and said, "Boss Hu, I..."
However, before she finished her words, Hu Li smiled faintly and said, "I invited President Lin this time to talk about the cooperation between our gorgeous beauty salon and Lorenzo Road International cosmetics." "Oh, I'd like to hear your opinion, Boss Hu." Lauren said with a smile.
Hu Li did not reply. Instead, she took out a contract and handed it to Lauren before saying, "I've already drawn up the contract. If President Lin has no objections, then please sign it."
Upon hearing this, Lauren could not help but frown slightly. However, she still took over the document.
Even Zachary, who did not know much about business, felt that something was amiss. Hu Li asked Lauren to come here to talk about business, but she did not talk about it at all. She had planned the contract unilaterally. This behavior was really too arrogant.
Lauren didn't lose her temper immediately. She looked down at the documents, but the more she read, the uglier her face became.
In the end, Lauren threw the document on the table with a gloomy expression. She looked at Hu Li and said in a discontented tone, "Since Boss Hu doesn't wish to do this, I don't think there's any need for us to continue negotiating." With that, Lauren rose to her feet and prepared to leave.
But Hu Li, who was sitting opposite him, said faintly, "President Lin is so impulsive. It's not business style!"
"There's nothing to talk about in a contract like this. It's impossible for us, Lorenzo Road International, to agree to it," Lauren said.
Zachary picked up the contract at this time, quickly browsed it, and his face suddenly became cold.
