###Chapter 37 We'll Talk About It When We Calm Down

The air in the bedroom seemed to condense layers of fine frost. It was so cold that I bowed my head and did not want to see his face anymore.

For a long time, he took a shallow breath, then spoke in a low and cold voice, "Have a good rest, and when you calm down, we'll talk again."

Without giving me any more conversation, he got up and left the bedroom.

That night, Jordan left the villa, while I stayed up all night.

Even so, when the sun rises again, we still have to open our eyes and move on.

I didn't sleep well all night. I came to the company with the face of exhaustion. Kyle saw that my face was hallowed and my state was not very good. He was worried, "Mrs. Astley, did you stay up late last night to read the materials? In fact, the company's audit is not that difficult, you do not have to pressure yourself too much, you are just right, you should take care of yourself!"

I nodded, and my head is buzzing a little. After reading Astley's financial affairs, I looked at Hastings's financial affairs carefully.

Seeing that I had been yawning, Kyle poured me a cup of coffee and said, "Please have a cup of coffee. By the way, Mrs. Astley, will the company give the audit to AC or credit?"

I have a headache when I think of this problem. Yesterday, the middle-aged man asked me to hold a tender, but there was no specific request.

The enemy was bright, and I was in the dark. After thinking about it, I said, "How long will the audit take?"

"it's always about half a month in previous years, but it may take at least a month this year!" Kyle said, putting the audit data of previous years on my desk.

I looked at it and had a headache. I said, "How much time do we have this year?" After the audit, the company needs to be made public on the economic website every year. Astley is a listed company, and many investors are waiting to see it.

"Not that much, there is still a month and a half, but Astley has branches in other provinces. Mrs. Astley, although you don't have to go to every branch, you have to go to a few, otherwise, there's no way to know the details."

I nodded, put the papers away, and looked at the time. It was already noon. I looked at Kyle and said, "I need to see the president of Credit. You'd better make an appointment for me as soon as possible."

"I understand!" After a pause, she said, "do you still want to see AC to the president?"

I wasn't going to meet this guy, but thinking about what happened last night, I couldn't help but wonder if AC was trying to grab the deal, so.

After thinking about it, I said, "see if they have their people come again today."

"They're still in the waiting room downstairs." After a pause, Kyle said, "it's the president of AC, Mr. Lucas Flynn."

The boss came in person? It seems that Astley's audit can really make a lot of money.

"Please book me a nearby restaurant." I got up, took my bag, and said, "Do it as fast as you can. I'll go down to meet Mr. Flynn."

"I understand." In response, Kyle left in a hurry.

When I got out of the office, I went directly to the waiting room of Astley's building. Astley's office building was very large and well-funded, so a luxurious leisure living room was set up in the hall on the first floor to facilitate the reception of distinguished visitors.

When I came to the waiting room, I saw the dark Chinese sofa sitting in front of the middle-aged man. at noon, everyone was busy eating, so there were not many people around the area. Lucas's face was clear and handsome, although he was middle-aged, he's not untidy.

When he saw me, he got up and came up to me with a smile, shook hands with me, and said, "Hello, Mrs. Astley. I'm Lucas Flynn, founder of AC. Nice to meet you!"

I smiled and greeted him, and said, "It's nice to finally meet you, Mr. Flynn. I am really sorry. I've been a little busy lately. I really don't have much time and I've kept you waiting!" Looking up at the time on the watch, I looked at him and said, "it's lunchtime. Would you like to have lunch with me?"

He smiled and nodded. "That's going to bother you, Mrs. Astley!"

Implicit, everyone did not mention the work, came to Kyle booked the restaurant in advance, Lucas did not take the initiative to mention the audit.

Just told me some interesting things in life, it looked a bit like two friends chatting together, he did not mention work, I naturally did not open my mouth, quietly listening to him.

For a long time, he looked at me and said, "I heard that Mrs. Astley is in charge of Astley's audit this year."

I nodded, "the company is listed and there are too many things. Mr. Astley and Mr. Hastings basically do not have time, so I can only take over this project for the time being."

He said with a smile, "In previous years, Astley's audit was done by AC, but this year."

After the dialogue he did not say, I naturally know yes, smiled and said to me, "Astley and AC have worked together for many years, and it is supposed to be taken over by AC, but the contract between AC and Astley has expired. According to the previous practice, we will hold bidding. Of course, I very much hope that AC and Astley can cooperate again in this bidding."

This is the end of the conversation. Lucas Flynn smiled and said gracefully to his good upbringing, "well, AC is also looking forward to working with Astley again."

After lunch, I saw off Lucas Flynn and Kyle followed me and said, "Mrs. Astley, isn't Mr. Astley going to hand over this year's audit to credit? Why open bidding? "

"If you don't bid, Astley will offend not only AC but also other audit firms. AC is an old brand that has been working with Astley over the years. If it terminates suddenly, you don't think they will make a fuss with Astley's previous audit?"

Another reason for seeing Lucas is that I want to see if Lucas has anything to do with what happened last night, but just now I saw the look on his face after hearing me talk about the bidding, so, what happened last night may have nothing to do with him.

But it cannot be absolutely denied, we can only observe it slowly.

Kyle nodded and frowned slightly. "Why is that, Mrs. Astley?"

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" I interrupted him, glanced at him, and said, "Jordan's men are not the only ones in charge of me. Astley is a big man. If he explains everything, then why does he raise so many people? You might as well do it yourself."

"But you are his wife!"

I laughed and looked at him and said, "I'm his wife, not to mention that he is not satisfied with me. And even if he is satisfied, he is still Asley's president, I am the director, and we have a superior-subordinate relationship in the company. If I am stupid enough to ask him to point out everything, it would be easier for him to let me go home and be Mrs. Astley directly!"

There is no such thing as cleverness under heaven and earth, but it is just an experience slowly accumulated after gritting one's teeth and eating a lot of bitterness.

When I got back to the office, Kyle made an appointment with the president of Credit to have dinner in the evening. I didn't tell anyone about last night, but I kept it in my heart alone.

Fortunately, the company is big and there is nothing special. I don't have to meet Jordan. I don't think about what he will do with us next. The only thing I can do is to do a good job.
