Chapter 525 It's Better For A Woman To Be Fierce (Part Two)
"Thank you for your concern, Commander. I'm much better now. But I'm wondering why you want me here." He wasn't an expert at official manners. But he was able to speak in an official way. After all, he was a business man and it was a necessary skill for him to manage things tactfully. "You are too modest, Mr. Mu. I was supposed to pay you a visit. But I heard that you were staying at home, and not going into the office. And I don't think it's proper for me to go to your home. So I invited you here." The commander passed the tea prepared by an orderly to Edward. Because Daisy liked tea, so he thought Edward liked tea too. Therefore, he prepared the tea to treat him without asking him what he would like to drink.
"It's fine. I've wanted to replace some chance to pay a visit here too. You did me a favor by inviting me here, Commander." Edward spoke his mind. He'd been on base twice, but the only place he went was the residential area. Besides, it was at night. So he didn't see the surroundings clearly. Despite that, he didn't get a close look at the base this time either, he still had a rough impression of it but got to know it better.
"Ha-ha! Maybe Mr. Mu is more interested in Daisy than the layout of the army base! That's why you want to know more about her working environment." The commander smiled and was able to suss out what was on Edward's mind. He knew how Edward cared about Daisy and reasoned that Edward intended to explore the army base because of her.
"You know me, Commander. Now that you've read my mind, I would be pretentious if I continued to hide my thoughts."
Oh, apparently it was obvious. Even the commander knew what he was thinking about! But what about Daisy? She chose to ignore him! Besides, she was so fierce when she talked with him and wasn't nice to him. It seemed that he cared for her in vain these days. "Oh, sure. I must say, you have good taste, Mr. Mu! Daisy is good at every everything. You are lucky to marry her and you're going to live a happy life with her." The commander wasn't flattering Edward. He did mean it. In his mind, Daisy was like his own daughter and he wasn't exaggerating the fact at all.
"Thank you! Then let's get down to business! You are quite busy at work and I don't want to take up too much of your precious time," Edward said thoughtfully. Actually he wanted to finish the business talk as soon as possible so that he could go back to Daisy's office and pay her a visit. He was here now and he was desperate to know everything about her in the base.
"Ok. Here's the thing. You have sponsored us on a newly developed weapons. And the military officials want to invite you to attend the prototype weapon exercise a few days from now. Meanwhile, they want to discuss the project with you. They expect some suggestions or opinions on the project."
The commander picked up the glass and drank some water. He was surprised by the officials' arrangement too. But he understood that they made every decision for the military's benefit. So he didn't ask too much about it and conveyed their invitation to Edward. "Oh! In this case, I can get close to our national defense?" Although Edward said this, he would never be interested in it. He was only interested in seeing his wife's heroic figure. Therefore, he couldn't agree with this proposal anymore. But regarding the army group and their project, he needed to consider it carefully. After all, he only heard Rain mention it before and never got a chance to investigate.
"If you are interested, I'll let Daisy explain to you in more detail after we finish our talk." The commander was a decisive man. He wasn't concerned that Edward might know some secrets of the army due to his identity. What's more, he only arranged Daisy to introduce some weapons to Edward, so the army's secrets were well-protected. He wasn't worried that Edward would know everything.
"Thank you, Commander. You make too big a deal of me. Actually I am quite interested in the base. Why don't we get started now?" Edward was interested by the commander's kind proposal. Now he would like to see how Daisy would refuse to talk to him. After all, her superior made her talk to him.
The hours wore on. When they finished talking business, it was already lunch time. Through this negotiation, the commander finally knew what a real negotiator was like. Edward convinced him completely without any aggressive words and any personal attack. All he showed during the whole process was his manners as a gentlemen. He was so calm and nimble. No wonder he could manage such a big multinational company so well.
"Mr. Mu. It's already lunch time now. If you like, why don't you have lunch here? You can see how our soldiers eat, and experience it for yourself." The commander stood up and shook hands with him. There was a big smile on his face. They had come to a fantastic agreement, and had a successful negotiation.
"What a nice invitation. I think it is better for me to accept it respectfully than to decline it. I'm sure it'll be an unforgettable experience to have lunch with the soldiers.." No matter what suggestion the commander would make, Edward would take it. He didn't care about the lunch. He cared that he could have chance to stay with Daisy. That was the most important thing. He arranged everything for Daisy.00000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
