Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 80

Jackson said, “I heard Lacey is going to join the tender for the Love in a Fallen City project. I want you to steal her bid proposal and substitute it with something else. I'll then take it from there.”

Adam was confused. “Mr. Hamilton, what is the purpose of doing such a thing? To be honest, judging from the scale of Lacey's steel mill, they're not a threat to you in the tender. Besides, would she change her mind even if her bid proposal was swapped out?”

Smiling indifferently, Jackson leaned into Adam's ear and muttered a few words.

Adam's face went pale upon hearing his words. “Mr. Hamilton, isn't it too risky to do this? My whole family might be implicated if things go south.”

Jackson assured him, “Don't worry, I will bear all the risks.”

Adam pondered for a moment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, I will do as you say this time, Mr. Hamilton.”

After leaving the Hamiltons', Jeremy immediately called his daughter, Lily.

“Lily, I have a task for you. Go work at Lacey's factory.”

The official public tender for Love in a Fallen City would be held tomorrow.

Lacey was working overtime to complete her bid proposal, whereas Zeke, after being a 'salesperson', was assigned another role by Lacey, which was a quality inspector.

At this moment, Zeke was wandering around the workshop, supervising the workers.

Just when Lacey had her hands full, Lily walked into her office. “Lacey, you busy?”

Upon seeing Lily, Lacey felt that something bad was going to happen.

Nothing good ever came from Lily every time she came. So, there should be no exception as well this time.

She was a little wary. “Well, I'm kinda busy. Why did you suddenly come, Lily?”

Lily smiled pretentiously. “As a cousin, shouldn't I come to visit you?”

Lily then put the two boxes of 'Six Walnut' she had brought on the table. “Lacey, you should drink more of this. It's good for the brain.”

Lacey put down her work and said, “Thanks. Seriously, Lily, why exactly are you here?”

Lily sighed. “Lacey, I can't find a job now, so I want to work in your steel mill.”

Huh? Lacey knitted her brows.

Lily wants to work at my steel mill?

With Lily's high standards, it was impossible for her to be interested in working such a small steel mill.

Hence, Lacey's first reaction was that there must be something fishy going on.

However, she couldn't figure out what motive Lily could possibly have.

Lily continued to plead with her. “Please help me, Lacey. I can't find a job and have been doing nothing at home recently. Every day, my dad urges me to go on blind dates, which is super annoying. I admit that I used to be quite mean to you, and I'm sorry about that.”

Lacey went soft.

After all, they were family; she couldn't turn her down.

Besides, now that the steel mill had scaled up, she was really in need of talents.

At last, she nodded her head. “Um, well, you can start as a clerk, and your standard monthly salary will be 4,000 dollars. Go and collate last month's production report and submit it to me.”

Lily nodded her head excitedly. “No problem.”

After giving her the instruction, Lacey Hinton got back to work on the bid proposal.

It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that she finally completed the bid proposal.

After giving her body a stretch, Lacey prepared to send the bid proposal to the Schneider family.

However, Lily suddenly came up to her, asking, “Where are you going, Lacey?”

Lacey replied candidly, “I'm heading out to send the bid proposal to the Schneider family.”

Lily said eagerly, “Lacey, let me send it to them. I'll happen to pass by the Schneiders' when I go home.”

Lacey hesitated.

This bid proposal was very important and confidential, so she was really worried about giving it to Lily.
