10am. Lisa arranged for the representatives from Switzerland to to stay in a hotel near Manoban Entertainment. The 3 men and 2 women seemed a bit annoyed by the trip.

"Didn't we already avoid having to work with Kim Corps? The CEO is currently missing, so there is no way to continue with our collaboration. There are plenty of big companies waiting to work with us, why did the Boss insist for us to come to Beijing?" one of the representatives said in a puzzled tone as he sat on the sofa.

"Did you think you are the only one that doesn't understand? We had to come all the way to this hell hole, where even the air is hazy."

"Endure for a bit. We can leave after we meet with them."

They each tidied up their stuff and followed a hotel staff to one of the hotel's meeting rooms. However, as they arrived, they did not see the CEO of Manoban Entertainment nor did they see Jennie.

"What is this all about? Why isn't a representative from Kijm Corps here to greet us?"

"I've never seen a host arriving later than their guests. Is this Asian etiquette?"

They were already frustrated by the fact that they were sent to Beijing. Now, with the added fact that no one from Tang Corps had appeared to greet them, they couldn't help their expressions from turning sour.

However, 5 minutes later, the door to the meeting room was pushed open. Jennie walked in wearing a black coat and flat shoes as she greeted the group of representatives in fluent Italian, "It's a pleasure to meet all of you."

Out of the group of five, only one woman stood up to shake Jennie's hand. Meanwhile, the remaining four, leaned back on the their chairs and glared at her, "Based on your attitude today, there is no way we will work with you."

"Let's put business aside for now and have some food," Jennie maintained her smile as she turned and signaled to the waiter.

The representatives' expressions did not change. But...as soon as the waiter brought in one dish at a time and placed it on the table in front of them, their eyes lit up in surprise.

"How did you know that I like to eat lasagna?"

"This is my favorite cookie to go with coffee..."

"This..."

The party of five were surprised that Jennie knew what they all liked. In fact, some of this information, they had never shared with the people around them.

Seeing this, one of the representatives finally revealed an interested smile and crossed his arms as he asked, "Can I ask, how did you find out what we liked?"

"I've looked at your profiles. Some of this food was written down - others I guessed," Jennie smiled. "For example, the lady beside you doesn't seem to like drinking water."

The woman that Jennie was pointing to, nodded her head, "That's right! How did you know?"

"That's a secret. Feel free to give this food a taste and we can chat about it afterwards," Jennie deliberately kept them guessing as she held onto their curiosity. As they really wanted to hear Jennie's response, they forgot about their previous frustrations and started trying the food that was prepared for them.

Jennie lowered her head and smiled, but she only drank water the entire time.

Half an hour later, everyone finished their meals. At this time, the man called Jean put down the knife and fork in his hands and said to Jennie, "Although we are very thankful for your hospitality, we have already decided to cancel the collaboration with Kim Corps. We simply flew over this time to show Manoban Entertainment some face."
