Chapter 1127 Sincerity In Cooperation
Despite Lina''s beauty and the unique exotic charm of Iugrean women that she possessed,
Geraldine couldn''t help but feel a little upset. After all, they were here to discuss a business
coboration, even if Schiavoni was a multinationalpany. In a business partnership, both
parties should be equal in status.
However, the leaders of Schiavoni Enterprise did not exhibit such behavior. It was one thing not to
provide an airport pick-up, but now that they had arrived at the hotel entrance, the so-called
manager should have had the decency to wee them.
Noticing Geraldine''s disappointment, Lina quickly changed the subject, saying, "Is this your first
time visiting Iugrea? Just like Yorknd, Iugrea is also famous for its delicious food."
"To ensure you both have a great feast at tonight''s dinner party, I''ve specifically invited a five-star
chef to be the main cook."
"Really? Then we''re in for a treat today."
Despite her youth, Geraldine, as the head of Harper Group, had impressive self-regtion skills.
Seeing that Lina had already taken the initiative to make amends, and considering they would need
to discuss cooperation matterster, Geraldine naturally followed Lina''s lead.
Upon pushing open the door and stepping into the private room, the three of them had barely
entered when they heard a man''s voice, cursing and grumbling in Iugrean.
"How many times have I told you, ourpany has never had a precedent for credit. If he is
unwilling to pay upfront, that''s a breach of contract, and we can demand him topensate for the
breach!"
"Lothaire, I''ve always hadplete faith in your abilities. Please don''t bother me with such trivial
matters in the future!"

After finishing his words, the man promptly hung up the phone. He eagerly stuffed the cigar in his
hand into his mouth and took a long puff.
What was supposed to be a pleasant dinner party turned sour even before the guests arrived, as
clouds of smoke filled the room, making the atmosphere unbearable.
Geraldine furrowed her brows, instinctively taking a step back. During Jennifer''s pregnancy, she
was extremely sensitive to many things. As Jennifer''s best friend, Geraldine also inevitably avoided
things like cigarettes.
Seeing that the man hadn''t noticed their arrival yet, Lina quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr.
Havenzo, Ms. Harper and Mr. Campbell have arrived."
The man finally snapped back to reality. However, he still had a dazed look in his eyes. Donald
immediately realized that there might be something extra added to the cigar in his hand.
"Hello, Ms. Harper, my name is Bio. I am the regional manager of Schiavoni Ceramics."
With a cigar mped in his mouth, Bio gestured with both hands, indicating for the two to sit
wherever they pleased.
In general business proceedings, both parties usually start off by exchanging pleasantries and
engaging in small talk to lighten the mood before delving into discussions about potential
coborations.
Just as Geraldine had taken her seat, gripping the arms of the chair, Bio asked, "Ms. Harper,
since you''re here to discuss a potential business coboration with us, have you brought the terms
of your coboration?"
Geraldine, still holding a napkin in her hand, was momentarily stunned.
Lina knew her manager was getting carried away. She quickly interjected with a smile, "Mr.
Havenzo, Ms. Harper and her party have traveled a long way to get here. They must be starving.
Why don''t we eat first and discuss as we go?"
"Of course, I''m not stopping you from eating."
Bio seemed to not grasp Lina''s words. He continued to look at Geraldine and said, "Ms. Harper
is free to enjoy her dinner. However, my time is precious, and I would like to know sooner what kind
of terms you can offer."
"You must be in need of the ceramic tiles produced by ourpany, aren''t you?"
The color drained from Geraldine''s face.
"Mr. Havenzo, I presume yourpany doesn''t conduct business negotiations like this with
everyone, does it?"
