My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 154

"Hello, I'm Sherry Rose. Nice to meet you. You said you're Amy, right? I think there must be something special about you, since you become the Vice President of HD Group so young." Sherry also relaxed a bit. She began to talk to Amy.

"Ms. Rose, let's take a seat, shall we? You're wearing high heels, and you might feel tired if you stand for too long. The party will last for hours." Amy suggested thoughtfully.

"You're right. Let's go." Sherry took another deep look at Amy. Even though Amy looked young, Sherry could already tell from Amy's words that she was a girl with good manners. Sherry began to wonder if Amy also had any unique insights into business.

They found a quiet corner to sit down. Amy let Sherry sit in a seat with a good view, so Sherry could have a good rest while looking at the whole hall.

"A lot of my friends are coming to the party today. This is my third time in China. I like Chinese tea culture very much." Sherry deliberately brought up a difficult topic.

Young people nowadays liked coffee and other drinks better, even though many of them didn't know much about their own country's tea culture, which had a long history.

Sherry wanted to make Amy retreat by showing her that the business world was not for every person.

"Ms. Rose, you have an elegant hobby. I know that many foreigners are interested in our tea culture, but they usually find it too difficult. I didn't know that you have good knowledge of the tea culture." Amy had been talking to Sherry in French. She was very respectful to Sherry, but she did not grovel. And even though had more knowledge about tea than Sherry, she still made Sherry feel proud of herself.

Sherry looked at Amy with new eyes after talking to her. She knew that a girl who had such a thorough understanding of Chinese tea culture must be a well-educated girl.

"Hello, Ms. Rose. There you are. I've been looking for you for a while." A middle-aged Frenchman with brown hair and glowing ruddy cheeks walked over and greeted Sherry.

"Who is this?" The middle-aged Frenchman spoke with a slight accent. His French was not as standard as Sherry's.

"Hello, Mr. Keller. Nice to meet you. Please allow me to introduce myself first. I am the Vice President of HD Group, Amy Miller." Amy introduced herself to Yuris in fluent French.

"Amy? Are you sure my name is Keller?" Yuris looked at Amy. He turned his head to look at the other foreigners in the hall. There were other men with brown hair who had similar build with him. He did not know how Amy could tell that he was Yuris Keller.

"Mr. Keller, I know I didn't make a mistake. It's true that there are five men with brown hair among all the foreigners here, and four of them and you are of same age. But Mr. Keller, you like to grow a beard. Or to be precise, a moustache. And you like brown leather shoes the best. The other four guests all wear black leather shoes." Amy told her analysis to Yuris.

"She's not bad. Sherry, you are in good company." Yuris gave Amy an approving look.

"Yeah, she is really an interesting girl. I was also surprised when she recognized me at a glance. It seems that the HD Group really treats us with respect." Sherry nodded at Amy.

"Ms. Rose, Mr. Keller, it's almost time for the opening remarks of the party. I won't delay you any longer. You could just get on with your own business first." Amy did not try to keep Sherry and Yuris there. Instead, she asked them to go to the center of the hall, because she knew that the organizer of the party would introduce those foreign investors to the entrepreneurs from R City at the party.

"Our party today begins now. Now, I would like to introduce to you our foreign friends at the party today." The organizer of the party was an investment promotion company in R City, and the host was the mayor.

Then, the mayor introduced the foreign tycoons to everyone. Investing in R City was also a dream of many foreigners who liked Chinese culture, so there were many foreign guests there today.

After the introduction, the mayor gave a speech. He said he hoped that all companies could find good business opportunities at today's party. In other words, he encouraged all the entrepreneurs to persuade the foreign guests to make investments.

"Hey, Amy, my dear, you're here too. I heard that you're the Vice President of HD Group now. Congratulations." Mrs. Newell came up to Amy. She saw Amy from afar, but she didn't go over when Amy was talking to Sherry and Yuris.

Amy had been standing next to Sherry to keep her company after the party began.

Mrs. Newell and Sherry had been good friends for many years, so they also talked to each other for a while.

When someone else tried to talk to Sherry, Mrs. Newell went to talk to Amy.

"Hello, Mrs. Newell. Thank you. Would you like something to eat? Shall I get something for you?" Alcohol was the major thing at the party, but there were also many delicious dishes. Amy knew that Mrs. Newell might be hungry now.

"Oh, thank you. Just bring me something you like and that's find." Mrs. Newell took a seat and waited for Amy there.

The reason why Mrs. Newell asked Amy to bring her something Amy liked was because she cared about her daughter and wanted to know what her daughter liked to eat.

Soon, Amy came back with two plates on her hands.

"Mrs. Newell, the cake tastes soft and smooth. There is just some light cream on it, so you won't find it too greasy. There are many kinds of vegetables in this salad. It should taste good, too. I've also brought you some cod fish. It's tender and with no bones." Amy had thought carefully about what she should bring to Mrs. Newell. All the food she brought was both delicious and nutritious.

"Oh, I'm satisfied with what you have brought me, but why is your food different from mine?" Mrs. Newell discovered that the food on her daughter's plate was different from the food on her plate.

"Well, Mrs. Newell, I love spicy food very much. I don't think you can have too much spicy food, so I didn't put that on your plate." Amy explained. She would almost lose her appetite if she did not have anything spicy in a meal. She got that habit from Stephen.

"Oh, you're right. I can't handle spicy food so well." Mrs. Newell had lived abroad for many years, so she could not have too much spicy food. However, she had made up her mind. She wanted to keep up with her daughter, so she would also try eating more spicy food.

"Amy, I'm sorry. I run into many friends just now, and I was talking to them. Sorry for leaving you alone." Richard did not see that Amy was enjoying the food with Mrs. Newell at a table until now.

"That's fine. The opportunity today is priceless. You can get on with your work if you're busy. I can handle it here." Amy answered Richard thoughtfully.

"Mrs. Newell, my wife will keep you company today. Please excuse me. I'll have a drink with Mr. Newell now." Richard greeted Mrs. Newell and left again.
