Although Jiyoung said that to please Lin Ruoxi, once the discussions started, it would become a tug of war. Things that ought to be yielded should be, and things that ought to be fought for should be as well.

In actuality, Jiyoung was very clear, dealing with women like Jennie, the art of sweet talk does not work at all. As both were businessmen, he must utilize methods to convince the other party, if a man gives up his career for a woman, how will this sort of man win the heart of a strong woman like Jennie?

Just like Jiyoung, once the official talks began, Jennie's words started increasing as well. Her interpersonal relationship skills may not be that great, but once she started talking, this ridiculously beautiful girl also displayed a somewhat "bitchy" demeanor. Once she started to argue, she wouldn't give up until she reaped the maximum amount of benefits.

So, when an hour passed, Lisa, who was bored to death, couldn't help but to stare just like what Hairy Ball was doing.

It was evident that Hairy Ball was interested in Lisa throughout the discussion, he sized him up and attempted to provoke him by glaring at him.

Towards these types of men who didn't care about their appearance, Lisa expressed his dislike. Although he could measure Hairy Ball's strength with a single glance, which was comparable to an average "elite international mercenary", in his division, it could be comparable to an instructor for the Marines. However, in the eyes of Lisa, these people could not be called "fighters/soldiers...", and were only viewed as "average people".

And so, while Hairy Ball was provoking Lisa, with loathsome eyes, Lisa had the urge to give him a slap. But, after thinking how he was a white-collar worker now, it would be wise to not create extra trouble and take into account his wife's business.

Therefore, Lisa could only sit in his chair, take out the phone Jennie gifted him, download the game 'Puzzle Bobble', and seriously focus on 'popping bubbles'.

"Yes, I hope Boss Kwon can stick to his promises, this year's Autumn Fashion Show, with your company's stage designs and our company's Fall wear, it is certain that we will capture a wider market." Jennie finally said as she signed the contract. Due to speaking for an extended amount of time, her cheeks were flushed displaying her hard to come by supple beauty.

While looking at this scene, Kwon Jiyoung's eyes dulled for a moment before nodding: "Of course, I hope that our partnership goes smoothly."

Only when the two swapped the documents could this long-winded discussion which lasted till 7PM be considered over.

Jennie was actually quite hungry, just like other women, in order to maintain her figure, Jennie only ate a small sandwich for lunch. She was working till now, and her stomach was rumbling from hunger as she lightly nodded her head.

Jiyoung clapped, and the waiters near the door immediately started to get busy.

The dinner was of formal western cuisine. While the dinnerware was being set on the table, Jennie glanced towards Lisa with worry in her eyes. Obviously, the sudden switch to western cuisine was to embarrass Lisa.

"This mister is named?" Jiyoung asked with an insincere smile towards Lisa.

"Surnamed Manobam, named Lisa." Lisa yawned. He was both too hungry and sleepy. Upon seeing that it was western cuisine, he whispered in his heart, this is not even as filling as a bowl of noodles.

"Even though it's my first-time meeting Lisa, I did not prepare a proper gift. I specially ordered a bottle of Nebbiolo from the year 1992, and I hope that Mister Lisa can evaluate it for me." As he finished saying that he signaled a waiter to bring over the bottle of beautifully packaged red wine.

In his heart, Lisa couldn't help but sneer while staying silent. Using three fingers, he lightly raised the glass, allowing the waiter to pour wine in it.

The waiter only poured a bit before stopping.

Lisa didn't feel anything out of place and he lightly swirled the liquid around the glass, smelt the wine, placed the tilted glass to his lips, and slowly savored a sip.

Upon seeing this action, the once tense Jennie slowly relaxed. Having obtained some relief, she remembered that this hoodlum grew up in the United States. He must have had traditional western cuisine before, but she didn't know if he had tasted a famous red wine like Nebbiolo. Hopefully he doesn't speak drivel, even losing a little face is fine.

Jiyoung's eyes flashed with a tinge of worry, smiling, he asked, "Mister Lisa, what do you think?"

"The ingredients of Nebbiolo, mainly comes from Italy's Piedmont region's Barolo and Barbaresco municipalities. If it is of the highest grade, it can only match an ordinary French Margaux Bordeaux red wine, it's not particularly good. However, this type of wine brings with it a tinge of lilac, pepper, apricot, dried plum and rose, more importantly it has the feeling of bitter chocolate, which is why it can still consider avant-garde." Lisa replied nonchalantly, as if this wine was made by him.

From this, Jiyoung felt a bit of surprise. Even though he drank these types of wines on a regular basis, he could not give out such a detailed description. He would not believe that Lisa only guessed all these by luck, as all his other movements regarding western cuisine were all in accordance with the manners of an educated gentleman from high society.

"True enough, it seems that Mr. Lisa Manobam is truly not ordinary, it's no wonder that Ruoxi wanted you to accompany her." Jiyoung fakery smiled with his skin but not his flesh.

"Just a bit." Lisa did not have any interest in accompanying this hypocritical man for a conversation. He straightforwardly says, "Without a trick or two up my sleeves, how can I manage to become the husband of my family's little Jennie? Isn't that right, my wife?" With that said, he looked towards Jennie with a questioning expression.

Jennie's lovable dimples suddenly flashed red. Although she knew Lisa did this to help her obstruct Jiyoung attempts, but being called 'wife' in this situation, her heart almost couldn't bear it. 'Badum badum' her heart nearly jumped up to her throat, she rigidly nodded her head, gave a thin voice of agreement, quickly lowered her head and started sipping at her cup to cover her embarrassment.

Jiyoung could not believe that this mutton skewer selling man would actually dare to flirt directly in his face, and jointly put on a play with Jennie to ward himself away. With one hand gripping tightly onto the crystal-clear wine glass, even his veins were visible, his complexion was a little green from the anger as he forced a laugh and said: "So the two of you have already tied the knot, I am truly sorry....... I have been rude. "

"No no", Lisa didn't mind and magnanimously smiled: "I am aware, with my standards, for me to have married my family's little Jennie is like sticking a fresh flower in a mound of cow dung. For director Xu to not realize is not surprising, as a person, I'm not too bothered by things like this.

Originally, I had been worried that with the little cash in my pocket, how could I bring my wife to eat a good meal? I never thought that Boss Kwon would invite us out, you are truly too caring." What Lisa implied was, you are merely a money sending idiot.

Resisting his anger, Jiyoung pursed his lips and took a sip of red wine. Finally speaking, he smiled: "Mr. Lisa, must be joking, to be able to obtain Jennie's eye, how could one's pocket lack money? On that note, let's start eating."

"Great, bring in the food." Lisa said as if he didn't notice Jiyoung's fire-emitting glare. All smiles, he picked up his cutlery to allow the waiter behind him to place the appetizer in front of him. Minding his own business, he started to eat.

After hearing Jiyoung's words which were full of anger, Jennie started to feel apprehensive. However, upon seeing Lisa fully focused on eating and drinking like a country bumpkin, her heart lightened up.

This person simply can't stay upright, he is obviously very proficient in eating western-style food and western dining etiquette to the point even she is surprised, yet he eats like a slob on purpose. He is unfathomable......

Gradually, Jennie's worries seemed to have dissipated into thin air. Who cares about him? Things have already gotten like this; I could only take one step at a time. With this thought, Jennie felt hungry, and she too started to move her fork and knife.
