“Good.”
Amelia Bright accepted the business card and smiled slightly, “If you are free, call me anytime, I’m usually quite bored at home alone, I don’t have any hobbies other than studying jewelry, it’s good that you don’t mind me being a housewife.”
Mrs. Song knew that Amelia Bright was a professional from the way she pulled her hair back.
“What’s wrong with being a housewife? You’re much better at jewelry than some designer who came out of nowhere, and don’t call me Mrs. Song, just call me Sister Song.”
Amelia Bright showed a look of flattery that was just right for her, and after a few seconds of pause, she settled down and called out graciously, “Sister Song.”
Mrs. Song nodded her head in satisfaction.
“Then I’ll call you Amelia.”
Mrs. Song is a straightforward person, but also a person who separates her private life from her work, which Amelia Bright understands, so even if she helps her at this time, she can’t rush to talk about the Austin Group business, which is too purposeful.
The two of them went back to the box side by side, and on the way back, they casually talked about jewelry. Mrs. Song asked a few questions, and Amelia Bright was able to give very detailed answers and analysis, especially in the matching of jewelry and fashion.
Walking to the door of the box, Mrs. Song couldn’t help but say.
“Amelia, you have such a talent, why do you stay at home and become a housewife? Haven’t you ever considered doing something on your own?”
“Actually I do have this idea, but it’s a long story, it’s still a bit difficult.”
As we were talking, a disgruntled voice suddenly came from the box.
“Amelia, who are you talking to? Go to the bathroom for half a day, you are …”
At the same time a hand lifted the curtain of the compartment, revealing Erlina Lee’s somewhat overly white face, the words were half spoken, then stuck in her throat, she looked at the woman standing side by side with Amelia Bright with a dismayed face.
“Song, Mrs. Song?”
The conversation was interrupted, Mrs. Song frowned unpleasantly, looked at Erlina Lee lightly for Amelia Bright’s sake, and said politely.
“Just thanked Mrs. Austin for cutting me off.”
Erlina Lee’s eyes lit up, her eyes glancing back and forth at the two people as she spoke.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, you’re welcome.”
She looked at Amelia Bright and said, “Amelia, what’s wrong with you? Why are you talking to Mrs. Song at the door? Please come and sit inside the box.”
Amelia Bright frowned, “Mom …”
“No need.” Mrs. Song interrupted, “Your daughter-in-law and I had a good chat, I will ask her out for tea some other time, but not today, I have something to do, I have to go first.”
Mrs. Song’s words gave Amelia Bright enough face, and Erlina Lee could not say anything more.
Before dinner, Austin’s father came back from the office and talked to Erlina Lee in the living room as soon as he returned.
Halyn Austin was fiddling with her new bracelet, Farren Austin was reading a magazine in the corner of the living room, and Joziah Austin, as usual, was nowhere to be seen, so the family was waiting for the old man to come back for dinner.
After talking with Erlina Lee for a while, Father Austin turned to Amelia Bright and asked her.
“Did you speak to Mrs. Song at the auction today?”
Amelia Bright froze for a moment.
The eyes of everyone in the room fell on her.
She said cautiously, “Mrs. Song had a problem with her jewelry and I helped her out, Dad, is that a problem?”
“No problem, no problem,” Austin’s father’s eyes lit up, “Sit down and tell me what’s going on today.”
Amelia Bright then sat down next to Erlina Lee and told her everything that happened at the auction this afternoon, how she got acquainted with Mrs. Song, who gave her a personal phone call and asked her out for tea.
“If that’s true, then this business cooperation, it’s a good one.”
Austin’s father was overjoyed and said aloud, “None of the bidders can have a good relationship with Mrs. Song this time.
Halyn Austin muttered discontentedly, “She’s just a blind cat who met a dead mouse, this is what she did.”
Steven Austin glanced at his daughter.
“You touch me once to see.”
Halyn Austin was speechless and gave Amelia Bright an indignant glare.
Erlina Lee, fearing that her daughter would be scolded, brought the conversation back to the original topic.
“Then that’s a good idea, ask Amelia to ask Mrs. Song out and recommend our group more.”
“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Amelia Bright said politely, “I’ve just met Mrs. Song, and it would be counterproductive to suddenly ask her to help with business matters.”
Erlina Lee’s face showed disdain, while her husband nodded appreciatively.
“Good, you can’t mention business matters to Mrs. Song voluntarily, once you do, it’s going to be bad instead.”
“What kind of reasoning is that?” Erlina Lee had a puzzled look on her face.
Steven Austin glanced at her, his brow frowned inaudibly, but still patiently explained that
“Mrs. Song what person, her subjective consciousness is very strong, the most annoying others to persuade her, the best is to subtlety, since she likes Amelia, then let Amelia get along with her, Amelia is the Austin family’s daughter-in-law and she does not know, when the time comes to tender inevitably have to look more Amelia is the daughter-in-law of the Austin family.
Amelia Bright nodded along.
Perhaps it is because the Austin family can rarely help with business matters, Steven Austin rarely so happy, asked Amelia Bright, “If this thing is done, it is all your credit, you say what you want, whether it is a car or a house can be.”
When the words came out, Erlina Lee and Halyn Austin both stared straight, Erlina Lee directly nonchalantly said.
“She is the daughter-in-law of the Austin family, she is supposed to help, what are you doing?”
Halyn Austin was indignant, “Dad, you didn’t even say anything about giving me a car and a house.”
Steven Austin gave the two a blank look, “If you two can do this job I will also give a house and a car, Amelia, you have to be rewarded for doing something, tell me what you want, this is what you deserve.”
Amelia Bright glanced at the crowd, Erlina Lee and Halyn Austin were both reluctant and needless to say, Farren Austin did not say a word, as if Steven Austin’s business had nothing to do with him, he only read his own military magazine.
After hesitating for a while, she opened her mouth and said, “Forget the house and car, Dad if you really want to reward me for something, can you let me go to work at the Austin Group?”
When these words fell, the living room was abruptly quiet.
Steven Austin cast an inquisitive glance.
“You want to work at the Austin Group? Why?”
Amelia Bright said nonchalantly.
“I think I’m too idle to stay at home and do nothing, so don’t worry I just want to start as a general assistant in the design department of the Austin Group, I don’t want anything else.”
