72 Chapter 71: Mermaid
On the day of the contract signing, two bid companies came to the Zhou company. One is Lyra's company and the second is Kate's company.
For year's the Zhou, the family has been the top 1 in business, second to them was Lyra's company and Kate's company is fourth.
In the meeting of the Zhou company, Kate and Shin were the first to arrive. Shin remembered when he was late Zhou criticized him for being late and the proposal was denied on the spot so he made preparations this time.
A few minutes later, laughter was heard behind the door. When the door opens Zhou and..... Atria we're laughing.
Shin was dumbfounded does Zhou and Atria familiar with each other?
"Thank you for your help Atria" Zhou shakes hands with her
"I'm just doing what others would do Mr. Zhou" Atria shook hands with him then parted
"Alright let's start your presentation," Mr. Zhou said seriously
*20 minutes earlier*
Atria got up early and left the house, instead of going directly to the Zhou company she went to get coffee and waited.
[Host why aren't you going now]
"Waiting for the fish to take the bait"
[?????]
Atria didn't explain and continued to take a sip of coffee around 5 minutes she stood up and then heard a scream.
She turned her head and saw a middle-aged woman running and behind her were 4 men in black suits.
"Please help me" The woman shout desperately
Atria hide the woman behind her and look at the men, they were wearing a mask so their faces can't be seen clearly.
"Give us the girl or else" a man threatened
"Heeehh... Aren't you ashamed of yourself chasing a girl early in the morning" Atria sneered
The man had a tick on his forehead and wanted to finish this job quickly before the police came. A man rushed to Atria and attempt to grab the woman.
Atria held his wrist and twist it, the man let out a loud shout and knelt on the ground. His wrist was twisted 180 degrees. The 3 men were dumbfounded but quickly recovered.
"Try touching her and your dead" Atria said coldly which send a shiver down their spines but they had to get the woman.
They subconsciously gulped, this woman is scarier than that woman. The three looked at each other tactically and all rushed toward Atria.
She easily caught the hands of the three men and then send each one flying 3 meters away. She kicked them hard in the stomach causing them to puke.
*Siren*
The police came and took the men away, the coffee shop owner saw the commotion and called the police. Atria turned to see the woman
"Madam are you okay" Atria ask
"I..I'm fine thank you little one" the middle-aged woman calm down
"Honey" a man's voice resounded behind me
Then the man hugged the middle-aged woman tightly, crying and kissing her. Atria stared at them for a while before talking to the police.
"Honey I'm fine this young girl saved me" the woman suddenly said and held my hand
"Thank you for your help...." The man asks
"My name is Atria Mr." Atria bowed a little
"Atria my name is Ru thank you for saving my wife" Zhou introduced himself and thank her again. But he didn't say his last name
"Mr. Zhou it's my pleasure to help," Atria said
"Atria how about you come with us and my husband will give you a reward," Mrs. Ru said
Atria immediately shook her head, "Thank you Mrs. Ru but I don't need it. Please forgive me but I have to go now" Atria looked at her watch
"Where are you going?" Mr. Ru asks
"I have a meeting with the Zhou and I need to go or else I'll be late" Atria then took out her keys
Ru and his wife look at each other tactically and stopped Atria once more.
"Then how about we go together I also have a meeting with the Zhou" Ru suggests
Atria nodded and the three of them took Atria's car and drive to the Zhou company.
"Do you have by any chance want a cooperation with the Zhou?" Ru asks
"Yes, Mr. Ru I was given a project with the Zhou I'm representing Lyra's company," Atria said seriously
"I see" Ru nodded
The car then stooped at a magnificent building, the three got out of the car and the people inside the company all bowed.
"Welcome Mr. Zhou" They all greeted
Atria was fake shocked at looking at Mr. Ru he was smiling, and he send his wife to his office and took me to the meeting room.
"I can't believe I got to finally meet you, Mr. Zhou," Atria said embarrassed
"Hahahaha, I was wondering what would be your reaction when you know it" He laughed
He has been in business for a long time those who knew him would deliberately show greed and craved for power but this little girl her eyes were clear and bright.
In the original story, Mr. Zhou's wife was kidnapped the same day he was about to have a contract signing. He was threatened and was forced to give the project to Kate's company.
This made Kate's company rise and trample all the other competitors but now that Atria saved her, she had the advantage to have the project.
***************************
"Since Miss Kate was the first to arrive, please start your presentation," Mr. Zhou said
Kate gritted her teeth as she saw the news of four men trying to kidnap Mr. Zhou's wife being caught by the police and sent to jail.
Kate and Shin stood up and open the presentation. Her presentation is about a new building project a Mall, which will be built in the center part of the city to gain more customers and make a lot of profit.
But little did she know, Atria already had a backup plan. The place where they want to build the mall had a quicksand, Thana anonymously send a verification to Mr. Zhou yesterday.
After Kate and Shin finish the presentation, Mr. Zhou had both his hands clasped and put them under his chin. He looks at Kate seriously
"Did you investigate the area where to build the mall?" He asked seriously
Kate suddenly became nervous she didn't investigate the area. So she kept quiet.
"Miss Atria it's your turn" Mr. Zhou was displeased that she didn't answer.
Late and Shin came down and Atria put on her proposed project. It's about new technology, this technology is one of a kind.
(A/N: I don't know what kind of technology but it is related to technology)
Mr. Zhou was very pleased with the presentation, Shin had his fist clenched and look at Atria intently.
"Thank you for your presentations, I have decided who I will partner up" Mr. Zhou looked at the two contracts on his table.
"I'll choose Miss Atria," he said and signed his signature
"Thank you Mr. Zhou for picking us. Happy cooperation" Atria reach out her hand
"Happy cooperation" Mr. Zhou shook her hand
Kate and Shin were stupefied in their sit, especially Shin he was confident but he got scared when they were asked.
Atria then left the Zhou company after saying goodbye to Mrs. Zhou and head straight to Lyra's company.
-----------------------------
In Lyra's company, the parents are patiently sitting on the sofa in their daughter's office. While Lyra was anxious and can't keep still, she walked back and forth with her hands clasped together.
"Princess, sit down you need to calm down" L's mom pulled her daughter to sit down
"But mom I'm worried," Lyra said
"Princess trust her she knows what she is doing" L's mom calmed her daughter down.
*knock knock knock*
Upon hearing the knock, they there look at the door, and a woman dressed in a slit dress came in.
