It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 726 President Of YD Group (Part Two)

She didn't want to drive a wedge between Daisy and Zemo.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. You must also know that Daisy is a rather private person. She always keeps her troubles to herself. Even though she hasn't mentioned you, that doesn't mean that she doesn't care about you," Belinda defended Daisy with an anxious look. "Don't worry. I was just cracking a joke. I'm not blaming her." Zemo chuckled lightly. He didn't believe that Daisy had forgotten him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have called out his name the moment they met.

"That's good. Daisy is an introverted person. As her friends, we have to be more patient with her." Belinda breathed a sigh of relief. She felt so embarrassed that she didn't know how to bring up the cooperation between their companies.

"Well, then, let's talk about business first." While Belinda was contemplating on how to change the topic, Zemo opened his mouth first and indirectly saved her from further embarrassment.

"Yes, of course!" Belinda took out the documents that Simon had prepared beforehand and handed them to Zemo. After replaceing out that the president of the YD Group was Daisy's friend, Belinda didn't feel as nervous as before.

Zemo nodded every now and then as he perused the documents. He was satisfied with the proposal, but a few improvements would make it perfect.

"Ms. Shangguan, your proposal is very impressive. But it could still improve and become perfect. If I decide to cooperate with the YS Financial Group, I hope you can meet our requirements." Zemo folded the documents and stared at Belinda.

"Of course, we can. Our aim is to provide high quality products and services to our customers." Belinda was excited to hear Zemo's decision. She knew that he must have decided to cooperate with YS Financial Group because she was Daisy's friend. Rumor had it that the president of the YD Group was a cold and cruel man, but he was actually a completely different person.

"Great! I'm looking forward to the revised plan." Zemo handed the documents back to Belinda. He couldn't deny that the reason he chose YS Financial Group as his partner was partly because of Daisy, but he had to admit that they had a good proposal. He wasn't the type of person to cooperate with a company just to please a girl.

"Mr. Ling, thank you for giving us the opportunity. We'll be sure to give you a satisfactory revision," Belinda said with a gentle smile. She was more curious about the story between Zemo and Daisy. They must have had a close relationship with each other. Otherwise, Zemo wouldn't do her a favor. As the saying goes, "love me, love my dog."

"No problem. Since you're Daisy's friend, you can just call me Zemo. Calling me Mr. Ling sounds too formal. A friend of Daisy is a friend of mine." Zemo adjusted his position a little. He wanted to become on good terms with Belinda so he could learn more about Daisy from her.

"Sure. You can also stop calling me Ms. Shangguan and call me Belinda instead. I hope that we can work well together." Belinda reached out her hand again to shake hands with Zemo. Though he was Daisy's friend, she remained polite and professional. After all, it was still a formal appointment. She didn't want to give him the wrong impression.

"Yes, definitely. Would you like to have lunch together?" Zemo asked out of courtesy.

"I'm good. Maybe another day? Let's have dinner with Daisy some time. You must be busy, I'll take my leave now." Zemo had a meeting with someone else in this private room. Half an hour had already passed, and his appointment might appear at any minute. As a sensible person, Belinda bid him goodbye.

"Alright. I'll see you next time. Goodbye." Zemo flashed her a friendly smile. He was meeting a friend here, and had agreed to spare half an hour for the president of the YS Financial Group for his secretary's sake. But to his immense surprise, the president turned out to be Daisy's good friend. What a coincidence!

Belinda turned and walked out of the room. She made a face the moment the door closed shut. If she had known that the president of the YD Group was Daisy's friend, she wouldn't have kept the appointment due to her injury. They could have postponed the meeting for another time.

"Boss, how did it go? Did everything go smoothly?" At the sight of Belinda, Simon came over to ask with a nervous look on his face.

"Of course, we did it! We have to make some amendments. Go to the office and work on the contract." Belinda handed the documents to Simon as she walked out of the restaurant. "Really? Yes, that's great!" Simon yelled, pumping his fists in excitement. He was very ecstatic at the news. To be honest, he wasn't that certain at the start that they would be successful.

"Hey, don't celebrate so soon. If Mr. Ling isn't satisfied with the revised plan, we will lose the opportunity." Belinda splashed cold water on the excited man, who immediately calmed down afterwards.

"Got it. I'll work on the plan until he's satisfied with it." A collaboration with a powerful company like YD Group would bring in more business, which meant a considerable pay raise. As a result, Simon was determined to work hard and settle things.

"Good. You can go ahead now. Once the plan is revised, I'll need to look it over first." Belinda paused, urging Simon in a light voice. She hadn't forgotten that Duke was still waiting for her in the car. That was also the reason she rejected Zemo's invitation to lunch without wavering for a second. "Boss, aren't you going to the company?" Simon asked in confusion. There was a pile of documents for her to sign in the office.

"I'm not going to the office today. Just make your own decision on company affairs. If you have any problems, you can call me." Because her wounds still hurt, she decided to take a day off today. Moreover, medicine had to be applied on her wounds. It wasn't convenient for her to apply the medicine on her own.

"Got it, boss. I'll go to the office now. Goodbye!" Simon cast a glance at her hands. Belinda must have taken a day off because of her wounds. Simon knew when to shut up. He left for his car after bidding Belinda farewell.

"Goodbye!" After watching Simon drive away, Belinda walked towards Duke's car. She reached out her hand to knock on the window, but to her surprise, she found Duke leaning against his seat and sleeping soundly. She withdrew her hand, uncertain if she should wake him up or not.

She tentatively pulled the door, and it clicked open. Duke hadn't locked the car doors. Wasn't it too risky to sleep in the car without locking the doors?

She got into the car with the utmost care in an attempt not to wake Duke up. But before she could settle in her seat, he suddenly opened his eyes. "Ah!" Belinda exclaimed in fright.

"Are you done?" Duke shook his head to regain some composure. He was exhausted from his poor sleep the night before.

"Yes! You look exhausted. Let me drive." Belinda's heart broke at the sight of Duke's tired face, but she carefully kept her worry to herself.

"That's not necessary. Do you want to have lunch out or at home?" Duke asked as he turned to her. He didn't ask how the meeting went.

"Come on, we just had breakfast! I don't want to have lunch now!" Belinda widened her eyes in disbelief. They came here right after breakfast! She wasn't hungry at all. Did Duke think she was a pig?

"Yes, we had breakfast. But it's already noon. It's time for lunch now," Duke said as he started the engine. He decided by himself to take her to a restaurant.

"Please, I'm not hungry at all. Let's go home first! We can have lunch when I get hungry, okay?" Belinda looked at Duke with a pair of imploring eyes. She had no appetite right now.

"Are you sure?" Duke asked, fixing her a doubtful look.

"I'm sure! I want to get some rest. I'm not feeling well." Belinda had a restless sleep last night because of her sore wounds. She was eager to go back home and get a good rest.

"Do your wounds still hurt?" Belinda's response made Duke worry. He turned the steering wheel and changed the route without hesitation.

"It's fine. I just want to get some rest," Belinda replied vaguely, not comfortable showing weakness in front of someone else.

Duke cast a doubtful glance at her, but kept quiet. He hit the accelerator hard and drove towards their house at full speed. The silver Maybach in the autumn season was particularly dazzling, attracting everyone's attention as they sped through the streets. Eventually, they reached the Leng house.00000000
