A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 109

“Yes!”

Since working in the Regulators department, everyone is busy every day with checking all kinds of documents, afraid that if they are one step later, the documents will be gone. Sometimes they even sleep in the office.

But there is a small catering team who take care of their living stuff for all day. No matter what they want to eat, as long as they call the team, the food will be delivered in 10 or 15 minutes.

So, the people of the department all sigh with emotion that although they are tired, they feel happy at work!

When Lily sees some of the documents, she is horrified.

She thought the forces in the Smith Group are just complicated, but she doesn't realize that the Smith Group has become corrupt from the root. The number of those illegal deals is huge.

No wonder Louis doesn’t go to the New York branch, but sets up Regulators in the Yorkshire.

If they don't deal with the affair, there will be dramatic changes in the Smith Group.

Lily shows Louis all the documents. Louis ignores them and says "Manager Lily, I have made it clear that the Regulators can handle all the things in the company. You don’t have to tell me.”

Shit!

Doesn’t that mean to make Regulators become a target of public criticism!

However, Lily has no room for bargaining, so she has to bite the bullet to handle the matters. Within a week, she fires more than 60 people, including senior managers to the staff.

Panic is spreading all over the Smith Group.

People who got into the Smith Group were selected through various levels of recruitment, especially the senior executives. They have worked their way hard to get where they are now. It is the first time the Smith Group has fired so many people at such a large scale.

Lily doesn't say a word about the private discussions and the accusations from the people who resigned. She just made the relevant documents public, and soon everyone is silent.

The people who are fired are either corrupt or suspected of reselling company secrets. It is kind enough for not to hold them to account.

Lily is relieved to have dealt with the hard case.

She knows her colleagues are very busy these days. According to the regulators, each of them takes a week off with pay. If they go on a vacation, the company will pay for it.

Jessie is envious, "Sweet baby, your department is so great! The company still covers your expenses when you go on a trip. Wouldn’t it be so great to live in the five-star hotel! Do you still recruit members? I want to join you!"

"Mr. Louis asks me take care of it. The people in our department have been busy for so long that they certainly deserve to have a good rest." says Lily, “Stay in the planning department. Our department is too tired."

"Alas, I am so envy of you."

When Lily and Jessie leave the company hall, they happen to meet Samson and his entourages.

"Mr. Samson. Lily greets him politely.

Samson pauses. He does not look like a man in his fifties. His back is straight and he looks imperious. His piercing eyes are fixed on Lily, trying to discern something.

"Oh, it’s Lily." says Samson, looking aggressive, “Miss Lily has fired more than 60 people these days. Everyone in the Smith Group knows you now!"

Lily says politely, "I work for the Smith Group and I'm just doing my job."

Samson smiles grimly, "For the Smith Group? I think it's for Mr. Louis. No wonder you've been able to come into my office to check the documents. What do you think is going to happen to me next?"

"Samson, you are overreacting. I’ve checked all the departments of the Smith Group, not just your office." says Lily, “I'm just a small employee. If I do something wrong, just tell me. If you think I'm violating your privacy, you can ask Mr. Louis to check your office in the future."

"You're threatening me?" Samson's voice rises, his face livid.

"How dare I?"

Just then, Samson's secretary says, "Let's go up first, Samson. Everyone's waiting for us."

Samson stares at Lily, shakes his hand, and swaggers away.

"Is this Samson? He looks tough!" After they have gone, Jessie says, “Did you see his eyes? They look fierce. He's a very cunning person. I think he's really pissed off and doesn't know what to do with you, so please be careful these days."

Lily smiles faintly.

What to be scared of? Her boss is Louis, and if anything happens, Louis will take care of it.

After a busy week, it comes to the weekend. Lily wants to have a good rest. However, BC headquarter calls her and asks her to pick up the car at the car store as soon as possible; otherwise the prize will be wasted.

So, early in the morning, Lily takes Jessie to the BC sales store in Yorkshire to pick up the car.

Lily shows her winning information to the sales staff who checks her ID card. Soon the sales staff leads her to see the car. The new car has four colors, which she can choose at will.

Lily chooses the black one, and when she goes through all the procedure and fills up with gas, she can drive it back.

Even the license plate number is arranged by the car dealer, so she does not have to worry about.

Sitting comfortably in the car, Jessie says, "It's great that I won't have to take the subway anymore"

"There are also traffic jams during rush hour." Lily turns on her phone to check the time. "I haven't been back for a long time. Why don't we go to my house for dinner?"

"Yes, yes, your mother must be a great cook. I want to try it!" Jessie is very excited. "Would you like to ask if your brother is on vacation and I can meet him in person?"

Lily can't help laughing, "It looks like you're having a good chat!"

She makes a call to Coffey.

As the voice on the phone is a little different from the real voice, Jessie doesn't realize that Lily’s brother is the same young man she has met in the elevator twice before.

Coffey is on holiday today, so Lily asks him to send his position to her so that she can pick him up.

After she hangs up the phone, Jessie asks, "How am I looking today?"

"As beautiful as a fairy."

"Wow, you flatter me." Jessie covers her face in embarrassment.

Lily follows the Coffey’s position. As they just pass the tunnel, Jessie's phone rings.

After that, Jessie frets, "I won't be able to come to your house today. My aunt called for me to have dinner and said my uncle is back from Finland on a business trip."

“It's all right. You've never been to your aunt's since you come to Yorkshire.” Lily understands it. When she knows the address, she sends Jessie back and then to pick up Coffey.

It has delayed twenty minutes.

When she arrives, Lily sees Coffey with gray short sleeves and bib overall leaning against the billboard. He is tall and handsome, which attracts the girl beside to look at him from time to time.

Lily rolls down her window and quips, "Hey guy! Do you need a ride?"

Coffey looks up at the car on the side of the road and, his lips purse as he pulls open the door. The girl, who is ready to speak to him, is stunned when seeing him walk to the car.

"It’s great to be handsome. Being handsome means being popular.” Lily looks in the rearview mirror and sees that girl still standing there, and laughs, "It seems that I don't have to worry about your marriage."

Coffey doesn't mind, but asks, "Did you buy a car?"
