Ch 11 Possible Bankruptcy

Around noon, Lisa and Jungkook sat down at a small restaurant near the newer production base to have lunch.

The owner of the restaurant served them a small steaming hot pot, which smelled spicy and delicious. But no food, no matter how good, could cure the cold and foreboding expression on Jungkook's face. He sat up straight like a military man, eating quickly and quietly.

Lisa concentrated on eating too, trying to look humble and hide most of her presence.

With a clang, the restaurant door opened again. Lisa heard the owner ask, "How many?"

Soon, Gu Mingyu, dressed in a suit, sat down with them, throwing his car keys on the table.

"Hello, Mr. Gu," said Lisa immediately. She then asked the owner to bring another set of plates and chopsticks for him.

Jungkook looked up at him briefly and then continued to have his lunch.

Lisa hadn't had any friendly experiences with Gu Mingyu in a normal situation before this. She saw that he could be very easy going. He took a pair of disposable wooden chopsticks from the restaurant owner and rubbed them together. He then asked Lisa for a cup of hot water and started eating.

After a few bites, he put his chopsticks down and asked Jungkook, "How was your morning?"

Lisa also stopped eating and looked at Jungkook.

Having already finished his lunch, he was sipping water, his head slightly bent. "As bad as I thought it would be," he replied.

Gu Mingyu nodded. "I've arranged a two o'clock meeting for this afternoon. As we talked about yesterday, all the vice presidents and the important department heads will join us for a meeting on our future work priorities."

"Mmm," Jungkook replied.

Lisa felt her heart skip a beat. Jungkook can finally start working and get to the real point of his position.

As if guessing what she was thinking, Mingyu suddenly turned to look at her and asked evenly, "I heard that you suggested Mr. Jeon's next priority should be finding a turning point and making a comeback'?"

Lisa hesitated for a second and was about to answer yes, but suddenly paused.

Did Jungkook tell Gu Mingyu everything I said the other day?

Lisa blushed without speaking.

Her bold statements like "I'd like to be your adjutant" and "this side of me is the true me" had been spoken naturally in front of Jungkook. But to someone else besides her boss, Lisa was a little embarrassed. Even worse, it was Gu Mingyu, a long-time member of the business world.

She looked up and saw a faint but meaningful smile on Gu Mingyu's face. She even detected a hint of a smile from Jungkook, who was sitting quietly.

After a moment of silence, Lisa spoke up with a smile, as if nothing had occurred in her thoughts. "Yes, that's what I think. I hope Phoenix can improve."

That answer wasn't enough for Gu Mingyu. He quickly asked again, "Oh, is it? Since you've come up with such an interesting idea, could you tell me what turning point you're referring to? I don't want a generalized statement. What I need is a real solution and plan."
