Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom Chapter 76

Lisa seemed to have expected her to ask this question, and she rightly said, "I'm going to check the
projections again, otherwise none of us can afford to take responsibility for any problems."

Hearing her say so, Lucia did not say much and walked out of the conference room in the direction of
the Archives.

Some confidential documents in the company were usually kept in the Archives for unified
management, which could prevent the leakage of trade secrets and ensure the safety of a lot of
information.

That's why they could only pick up the planning cases when the foreign guests were about to arrive.

When arriving at Archives, Lucia identified herself and signed.

After that, she took the planning cases with the archivist, and then rushed to the conference room.

It took a lot of time to get the planning cases from the Archives.

When Lucia arrived at the conference room, the foreign guests had just arrived and were not yet
seated, so the scene was a bit chaotic.

Lucia stood at the entrance and looked around without seeing August, which made her sigh with relief.

The Lion Group's representatives, as well as Irene and Mary, were inviting the foreign guests to take
their seats.

And Lucia was walking inside with the planning cases in her arms without paying attention to her
surroundings as she was only thinking of distributing the plans to everyone as soon as possible.



She took a few steps, but before she reached the conference table, she suddenly fell forward
unawares.

With a "bang", she fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the stack of planning cases she was holding
in her arms was thrown away and scattered all over.

The people who were communicating in low voices heard the sound and turned their heads to follow
the sound.

"Well, just do as I arranged."

August instructed Burton with a sideways glance.

When walking to the door of the conference room, he turned his head to see Lucia lying on the floor,
papers spilled everywhere.

When he saw the foreign guests with different looks, his face instantly became somber.

Burton reported to him early in the morning that Lucia was back at work.

But he didn't expect her to give him such a big surprise as soon as she arrived.

Everyone in the conference room stopped talking, and Lucia fell to the floor in complete confusion, her
cheeks burning.

Suddenly, there was a sound of leather shoes getting closer to her, and then they disappeared beside
her.

August leaned down slightly and stared at her, his voice clear and cold, but with anger, "When are you
going to get up?"

Hearing this voice, Lucia was like awakening from a dream.



She immediately got up from the floor and started to pick up the planning cases on the floor.

It's so humiliating! Lucia could not wait to find a crack in the ground and hide.

She bit her lip and picked up the papers in a panic, lowering her head and starting to distribute the
planning cases.

The atmosphere in the meeting room slowly eased up a bit and people started talking and discussing.

Lucia blushed and calmly handed out the plans one by one.

When she reached a foreign guest, he suddenly looked at her, smiled at her, and said to her in not-
fluent Chinese, "Thank you."

At that, Lucia suddenly became less nervous, smiled at him, and replied directly in French, "You're
welcome."

Hearing that she was speaking French, the foreign guest was very surprised, so he smiled crookedly,
and asked, "You speak French?"

Lucia smiled lightly and nodded, "I learned some in college."

She minored in minor languages during her college years, and her main courses were French and
Japanese.

Although she wasn't fluent, she was able to communicate in simple terms.

At that, the foreign guest nodded appreciatively at her, "Very impressive."

By the way, he asked again, "Is your leg okay?"



Lucia followed his gaze and looked down to see her red knee, then she smiled embarrassedly, "It's
okay.

Thanks for your concern."

The two exchanged a few brief words in French, drawing the attention of the others in the meeting
room again.

When August looked up to see the woman's slightly red cheeks and bright eyes, his heart
unconsciously sank.

He didn't expect her to know French, which really gave him a surprise.

On the other hand, Lisa looked at Lucia, who was communicating with the foreign guest, and her
jealousy slowly turned into anger.

She had made a special effort to learn about the foreign guests and memorized a few sentences of
French urgently, but it was all useless, instead, Lucia had a great chat with him! Lucia finished handing
out the planning cases and stepped aside, intending to leave.

But August suddenly turned his head toward her.

Feeling August's gaze, Lucia pretended to be calm and averted her eyes.

Seeing such a reaction from her, August frowned and cleared his throat, 'Lucia, you stay and take the
minutes of the meeting."

She knew some French, so naturally, she was more suitable to take minutes than Irene and Mary who
did not speak French.

Hearing what he said, Lucia froze, reacted, and nodded in response, 'Okay."



Seeing Lucia stay, Lisa was not too happy, so she also followed and sat down next to her and did not
leave.

The meeting officially started.

After a brief conversation between the representatives of both sides, they cut to the chase and started
to talk about specific cooperation projects.

Lucia struggled a bit to listen, but luckily the meeting was equipped with an interpreter.

After recording the main points, and then listening to the interpreter once again, she wrote down the
general content.

More than an hour later, the meeting proceeded to the final session of price negotiation and the
atmosphere in the room seemed to become heated all of a sudden.

The representatives of both sides were competing against each other openly and secretly to protect
their interests.

The foreign guests sounded resolute, "This time we came to Austos City with full sincerity.

Our company's technology is already at the top of the industry and this is the last price we can accept
at our boss's behest."

David from the marketing department was sent to negotiate, and after several rounds of negotiations,
he was clearly inferior to the foreign guests.

Seeing that the situation was going to be uncontrollable, David turned to August to secretly ask for
help.

August was serious and calm, saying without hurry, "We see your sincerity.



But this price is not ideal for us.

You should know very well that you are not the only choice for us.

The reason why we chose you is that we have a larger space for cooperation.

I think that this should not be your final price, and at least, it should be reduced by like this."

He said, holding out three fingers in gesture.

The foreign guests looked at each other, obviously hesitating.

"I will give you time to consider, and this is the final price we can accept."

August said slowly, but his aura was very powerful.

With one sentence, he guessed the other party's bottom line precisely.

He had a clear goal and a strong attitude, not giving them any chance to turn around.

He had done much work to figure out the foreign guests' bottom line.

He raised his hand, signaling his men to be silent and giving the foreign guests time to consider.

Under the quiet gaze of the crowd, the foreign guests talked in low voices and seemed to slowly finalize
something.

Finally, they nodded their heads in acceptance.

Lucia looked at August's side face and for some reason, her heart beat faster.

She had seen him at work before, but she had never seen him force the other party at the negotiation
table to back down with just a few words.



He was far more powerful than she had imagined Seemingly sensing her gaze, August turned his head
slightly and looked directly toward Lucia.
