A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 108

When the phone gets through, Louis asks, "Dad, are you still at Ole Supermarket? I happen to be there? I will pick you up."

Mr. Smith is delighted when hearing that.

What a coincidence! Isn't it a good time for the two of them to meet each other?

"Ok, then come to the hotpot store on the fifth floor, I am having lunch here." Then Mr. Smith hangs up the phone.

Lily asks, "Is your son calling you?"

"Yes, he says he happens to pass by." Mr. Smith laugh, "Maybe you could have a talk, then I will ask him to take you back."

Lily doesn’t want to see Mr. Smith’s son, so she would friend WeChat, but now his son is coming.

It’s so embarrassed.

"Mr., excuse me, I want to go to the bathroom." In order to avoid the awkward situation, Lily quickly foots the bill and leaves in the name of going to the bathroom.

Before leaving, she has told the waiter to take care of the gentleman.

Not long after she leaves, the waiter goes to table 23 and says politely to Mr. Smith, "Mr., your friend has left for something urgent. I am sorry."

"She’s gone?" Mr. Smith looks at the door and sighs.

His “daughter-in-law” has flown away.

When Lily just goes down the escalator, the other elevator door opens. Louis has arrived, but he doesn't notice the figure that went down the stairs, and goes straight into the hotpot restaurant.

It is a small shop, and Louis is tall, so he can find Mr. Smith easily, who is sitting by the window.

"Dad." As he gets closer, he sees the spicy hot pot soup on the table. Louis frowns and says, "These things will irritate your stomach. Don’t eat too much.”

“Why are you as long-winded as the housekeeper?' Mr. Smith says angrily, "I am counting my days now. Couldn’t I eat something I like? Or I might just drink water every day!"

Louis rubs his eyebrows helplessly, "I didn’t mean that."

Mr. Smith gets angry and blames Louis. "I shouldn’t answer your phone," he says, "Now my daughter-in-law is running away."

"Can’t you talk to me on WeChat? Why do you have to call me?"

"Why not say something? You are so dull! Do you know how hard it is to meet a smart and capable girl these days? It really annoys me."

Louis, aware that Mr. Smith is angry, pulls out his chair and sits down. He says nothing, just listening to Mr. Smith’s scolding.

Mr. Smith has waited for that girl for half a month. When he finally met her again, the smart and thoughtful girl accompanied him to chat and have dinner. They were having a good time, but Louis destroyed it.

Louis finally understands what he means, so he asks, “Is that the one who helped you pick the tie last time?”

"Yeah, she is so sweet." Mr. Smith sighs again, "It’s so hard for me. I don’t have a daughter, but I still have to worry about your marriage at such an old age."

Louis can't help laughing, "If you really want to meet her, why don't you check the mall surveillance and then just find some excuses and ask her out."

Mr. Smith glares at him, "What if I scare her?"

"I'm glad you have someone to talk to, Dad, but we don't know each other." Louis says, "And I've already found a girlfriend."

Mr. Smith, who is about to give Lily’s WeChat to Louis, stops and asks him, "You have someone you are fond of?"

"Yes, I'll take her home in a few days."

"Are you just fooling around me? Do you really love her?" Seeing Louis nodding, Mr. Smith is somewhat disappointed, but he puts down his phone.

He thinks Lily is nice and smart and sweet, but his son says he has someone he loves, so he can't intervene in his relationship.

Alas, what a pity.

It’s such a pity that a good match made for each other has missed.

After inspired by Mr. Smith’s words in the hotpot restaurant, Lily knows what she should do. When she arrives at the company, she begins to take strong actions.

Five men recruited from Yanking and Shetland North soon get to the Smith Group. Lily assigns tasks separately and sets the time.

So, over the next few days, people from all over the Smith Group could see several persons shuttling among departments with a pile of papers in their hands.

"So, they are the staffs from Regulators. What are they doing?"

"They walk so fast. It’s very scary."

In the independent manager office, the empty cabinets are filled with documents, so are the desk.

Lily's brain functions quickly as she flips through the papers.

She studies translation, but it also involves in finance, but she doesn't know too much about it. But she is transferred to a new department and handles all the work of the Smith Group, so her work pressure is heavy.

There are so many documents to handle and there are too many obscure words. In the first two days, she almost broke down. She has consulted Louis directly about many things and sometimes, they were still discussing matters in the early morning.

Fortunately, the people she recruited are all capable, which alleviates much of her pressure.

"Miss Lily." A colleague knocks on the glass, then pushes open the door and says to Lily, "There are several documents in the secretary department, but they are confidential and we can’t see them."

"Didn’t you tell them the Regulators are checking the matters?" Lily asks.

"Yes, but they say the documents have been put aside for so long and they don't know the password. I also told Meghan, but she says she doesn't have the authority."

Lily frowns.

It’s secretary's papers. How could they not know the password? Maybe they're hiding something.

Lily does not delay it, in case someone knows that they have checked the secretary department, and some men will directly destroy the documents. Lily immediately contacts Louis, and asks him to assist her.

Louis recommends someone to her.

When Lily friends that man, he quickly sends her a message, "Hey girl, shall we have a talk?"

Lily resists her anger, and tells him who she is and what she is doing. She even tells the guy it is Mr. Louis who she works with. Then the guy doesn’t dare to say anything frivolous and says that he is willing to help her with anything.

The guy asks Lily to turn on the remote control, and Lily does as he says.

Soon Lily’s account enters the secretary department. She finds those documents and enters the password.

Lily's mouth twitches as she looks at the words "password error" that keeps popping out. When she is just wondering if Louis recommends a half-assed person to her, the files are opened.

Well, he is indeed powerful.

Lily turns off the remote control, plugs the USB flash disk on the computer and saves the files. The next second, she is ejected by the system and the computer is suddenly shut down.

She pulls out the USB flash drive at once, drenched in sweat.

She knows there must be some problems with the confidential documents. Someone must have an eye in the secretary department. Fortunately, she asks Louis to assist her and takes the documents; otherwise, all the efforts are in vain.

Lily pushes open the glass door and goes out, says to her busy colleagues, "From now on, no matter which department you check, if you find any confidential documents, tell me immediately. Don't delay time, got it?”
