Chapter 724 - Fad Or Worried?
Tom is a little harsh towards Vivi because of their last meeting at the hospital. Vivi refused to accompany him for a while, and as a result, Tom became very depressed and came home to drink until he got alcohol poisoning.
Vivi did not understand the man's heart, and when he said such a thing, her face immediately turned grim.
Lilia glanced helplessly at Tom. "Brother, Vivi is busy with the initial construction of her company. Besides, she'd just moved into a new apartment. If she's a little overwhelmed and tired, don't blame her."
Tom understood the subtle warning from Lilia, then he looked sad as he tucked in the corner of his mouth. "Oh, but why are you doing this alone?"
Vivi couldn't reply.
She looked at Tom angrily, and decided not to pay attention then walked towards Lilia. Vivi sighed. "Just yesterday, I learned that our companies stood across from each other. Wanna see my office?"
"Okay." Lilia ended up going side by side with Vivi.
Seeing this, Tom looked at Harold. "Come on, let's go together!"
Vivi, who was walking in front, couldn't help but look back and said, "My place is small, it's impossible to accommodate the Great Lord Young Master Tom."
Tom smiled meaninglessly. "It's okay, I'm sure your office is smaller than my car garage."
Vivi gasped, and glared at him again. She grabbed Lilia and quickened her steps to the opposite room.
This Tom is really annoying!
The two of them really hate each other!
In this life, there is no way they'd reconcile!
Lilia followed Vivi to Ludwig Technology. She looked faintly into the office. When the two walked to the corner, she asked with a low voice, "Where's Ludwig? Your company is preparing this kind of thing and you are doing everything alone. Is he sick?"
Vivi narrowed her mouth and sighed. "He meets clients every day now, he said that he wanted to win over customers first. After all, I've also resigned from my company and have free time, so I just occasionally come here to check out the decorations. We work for our own endeavors."
Speaking of Ludwig, Vivi's face shows the typical shyness and sweetness of a girl in love.
She seems to be enjoying this relationship.
At least there are no complaints, even their hard work together is sweet...
But this makes Lilia very depressed.
She squeezed her arm hard, and whispered, "Remember what I say. If you need my help, you should not hesitate to call me."
"I know!" Vivi hurriedly nodded, then looked at Harold who was not far from there. She said, "Yesterday, Harold gave me a lot of advice. I'm so helped thanks to it. Don't worry, I'm not a kid. Even though it is very difficult now, Ludwig and I have faith in our company. He said that in the future, we can expand our business, then we can work with your studio."
Lilia smiled. "Then, I'm looking forward to it!"
Perhaps, outsiders know nothing about the division of labor between her and Ludwig. It could be a subject to judgment, but no one knows if it is right or wrong.
...
After seeing the situation of the two companies, Vivi suggested drinking coffee.
She felt helped by Harold's suggestion yesterday, so she wanted to thank Lilia's manager.
It is a courtesy most basic to others. The only thing that makes her a little reluctant is that Tom also followed them.
A group of four people were sitting in the cafe on the first floor of the building.
Vivi ordered three cups of coffee, while Lilia ordered a cup of milk and cheese cake. When the waiter came to put coffee in front of everyone, Vivi smiled and looked at Lilia. "You used to like coffee, why do you drink milk now?"
Lilia held the milk cup and explained, "Every now and then I want to try new drinks."
Harold looked at her calmly and said nothing.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the table was a little awkward. Tom leaned back lazily on the bench, looked around, and finally settled his gaze on Vivi's face. "Your company… Do you run it yourself?"
Vivi took a sip of coffee and replied weakly, "No, with my boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? What kind of boyfriend wears a flowery shirt?"
Vivi put down her coffee cup, her expression vaguely showed displease. "Can you speak well?"
"I was just making a joke, why are you mad!" Tom seemed to be provoking her on purpose, and muttered, "Since you did it with your boyfriend, if I were you I would be worried. Instead of doing everything by yourself, why don't you let someone else work? I may sound cruel, but the company's name doesn't even have anything to do with you right? Then what about tax registration? Have you got the permission yet?"
Vivi was bombarded with questions!
She wasn't involved in the business licensing process and corporate taxation, so she really didn't know these details.
But for heaven's sake, she didn't want Tom to mock her. She sneered with a serious face. "Sure. It's all there, you don't think we're that prepared?!"
Tom narrowed his eyes and didn't ignore Vivi's flickering face. His conscience felt a little guilty.
Although Tom was silent, he ordered someone via a message from his cell phone to investigate tax registration related to Ludwig Technology.
It doesn't matter. Since Vivi is an acquaintance, it's better to be on guard than let her get tricked.
At this time, Lilia looked at Tom on the opposite side, and asked vaguely,"Brother, how's your company? Everything's fine?"
Tom nodded. "It's okay, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'm just afraid you spend too much time and delay your work!"
Tom is completely insensitive and he doesn't understand the meaning of Lilia's words at all.
He just waved. "Take it easy, my company is still my father's company. I'm not that busy today."
Vivi looked at him suspiciously, and she couldn't help but mutter, "How nice.. Your father really spoils you huh!"
Tom agreed with Vivi's sarcasm. "Well, my dad is really nice."
Everyone was speechless.
In less than ten minutes, Tom's assistant had sent the information to his cell phone.
Indeed, there was no Vivi's name in Ludwig Technology's tax registration information.
The company's legal entity was registered under Ludwig's name, but the other work partners were unknown.
Tom lifted his eyes from the phone screen and looked at Vivi deeply. He didn't say much, but sent this message to Lilia.
Tom: Do you think this is normal?
When Lilia saw the news, a dignified expression appeared in her eyes.
Vivi should not know about it.
She thought this way, and told Tom to not say anything.
Not long after, Vivi received a call from Ludwig, saying that he had completed his work and was planning to come to see her to have lunch with her.
After hanging up, she looked at Lilia. "Ludwig just finished, how about we have lunch together?"
