A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 42

Lily is surprised, but she knows it’s not the right time to greet Leon. When Louis greets a few men, she wants to take a seat, and walks past.

"Miss Lily, please sit there."

Chloe puts the bag on the left side of Louis, and then sits on his right side, so Lily has to sit with Leon, fearing that she would grab Louis.

Lily's eyebrows jump a bit, and she tries to calm down, and goes to Leon.

She can hide!

"Miss Chloe is naughty. I hope you don’t mind." After Lily comes over, Leon smiles, "It's fine to sit with me. We can have a communication."

Lily whispers, "I don’t dare to provoke her. She’s favored by Mr. Louis."

"You can also see that Mr. Louis spoils her."

"Isn't it?" Lily smiles helplessly, "Look at her taking a bag to take the seat, and Mr. Louis doesn’t care."

And she never sees Louis hit Chloe, only reprimands her.

Leon nods, "Yes, Miss Chloe is cultivated by Mr. Louis. Although she is a bit naughty, she is very powerful. Otherwise, Mr. Louis won't keep her by his side."

What is she good at? Acting?

In fact, Lily doesn't need to ask, as she could see it later.

These blond-hair men speak English. Lily and Leon don’t need to do anything, and they just sit there quietly and watch Louis discussing the cooperation with these men.

Chloe changes her previous coquettishness and sits down beside Louis. As long as Louis gives her a look, she would chat with those partners.

She has a pure London accent and her English is very fluent. Her voice is soft, and her manners are graceful. Occasionally, she would tell some jokes to make the partner laugh.

Lily knows what should do when she sees this.

Although Chloe is a little bit arrogant, she is very talented in talking business. She is beautiful and has a soft voice. She is indeed qualified to be pampered.

They are talking about the transportation of commodity exports. The cooperation is mutually beneficial, so it is completed in half an hour. The rest of the time is for dinner and chatting.

Leon whispers, "Miss Lily, would you mind we have a talk outside?"

"OK."

Lily knows that the Leon has something inconvenient to say in the room, so she follows him to the stadium.

There are very few people on the court this time. The staff gives Leon a golf club. Leon makes a few strokes at random and is sweating when he comes down.

Lily hands the towel up and smiles, "You play it so well. They can hit to the lawn over there."

"I'm getting old, and I can't play golf anymore as good as before." Leon takes a towel and wipes his sweat and smiles. "I'm going to the New York branch soon. Do you know this?"

"Yes, but don't you say that you don’t like going abroad?"

The company wants Leon to go to the New York branch before, but Leon refused, saying that his daughter was still young, and he was afraid that he would neglect his relationship with his daughter if he comes back only once in a few months.

"Mr. Louis personally asks me to go to New York, can I refuse?" Leon sighs, "And it is understaffed over there. The top level only recruits a few foreigners, and we should arrange some workers ourselves."

Lily nods, she understands this.

Not only the Smith Group, the world’s top-ranked financial or large companies engaged in scientific research, only use their own staff. They recruit a few foreigners to show to the outside world that they are diversified.

"You also know that after I leave, the translation department needs a leader." Leon knocks the club on the ground, "Vice President Samson plans to arrange a staff in the translation department."

Lily is silent for a while and asks, "What do you think, Leon?"

"Of course, I don't want to. His people will definitely mess up the translation department. In the department, only you and Julian are outstanding, but we can't choose Julian."

"Because she stands by Vice President Gill." Lily is smart, and she also understands some things, "I am outstanding and have no background. If I am to be the minister, I won’t do anything that is not favorable to for the company."

In fact, when Louis comes to the company frequently, Lily feels something wrong. Now, Louis disregards Leon's wishes and transfers him to the New York branch.

Leon nods, "Miss Lily, you should know that Mr. Louis was adopted by Mr. Smith. When a man who is not related to the Smith family is in control of the Smith Group, even if his ability is outstanding, some men in the Smith family will not accept him."

After a pause, he pats Lily on the shoulder and says, "Even if you don't want it, I want you to be the minister, as I can't believe anyone else but you."

"You know, Leon, I don’t have ambitions." Lily purses her lips, "I'm not interested in being the minister, I just want to earn some money to support myself, and I don't want to get involved in any struggle."

No one can escape unscathed in the struggle of the rich family?

She doesn't want to have a relationship with Louis, but she has no choice but to promise to help him discuss the cooperation. She is not interested in the Smith family.

"I know, otherwise I won't support you." Leon is silent and says again, "Miss Lily, you just take it as protecting your department."

"I will talk to Mr. Louis and let you take over my seat. When I find someone who can take over the seat, I will tell you and you can also relax. How about it?"

Lily doesn't answer immediately.

If Leon can't find anyone in a year, will she be a minister for a year? Many changes can happen in a month, let alone a year.

Thinking it twice, Lily agrees, "Okay, but I am for the good of the Smith Group. I have been in the Smith Group for so many years. You have taught me a lot like a teacher, so I should do you a favor."

Leon gives a soothing smile, "Then I can rest assured."

"Don't you say you can't play golf? Why did you come the course?" When Leon and Lily are talking, Chloe comes over there, and mocks Lily.

Lily turns away her head and ignores her.

You have to ignore people like Chloe, the more you say to her, the more arrogant she would get.

Sure enough, when Chloe sees that Lily doesn’t say anything, she snorts and asks the staff to bring her bag. Louis and some partners find a place to sit down and drink tea.

Chloe wears a light pink sportswear today, which make her delicate and cute. When she plays the golf, she ties up her long curly hair and becomes very focused.

She flicks a club and hits a ball hard. The white ball flies to the other side of the lawn. Several partners applaud, even Louis smiles.

Chloe raises her chin at Lily, "The fun of golf is not you can experience."

"Really, then I really want to experience it." Lily is a little annoyed after being provoked many times, "Leon, can I borrow the club for a while?"

Leon laughs, "This ordinary club is not as good as Miss Chloe’s. I am afraid it won’t hit far.”

"It's okay."

Lily hasn't touched the club for two or three years. She's a little bit rigid and doesn't find the correct posture. Chloe over there teases her bluntly, "If you can’t play, don't force yourself."

Leon instructs Lily.

Lily squeezes the club tightly, takes a deep breath, and throws her arm hard. The club hit the ball on the positioning frame. The white ball flies out and hit the far lawn.
