I didn't take it to heart and didn't feel like talking to her. After Hendrix read the document, he looked at her and asked, "The Mooda Group is a financial investment company?"
Rowane nodded. "They started off as an investment company, but they have now changed. Now it is managed by a young girl, and it is not looking very good. You don't have to think about it!"
Hendrix responded slightly and asked, "Who is the person in charge of Mooda today?"
Rowane was a little surprised by his interest. She said, "It's Wendy, the daughter of Derek, the former chairman of the board. The girl is young. I heard that she took over Mooda soon after Derek's accident. The company was on the verge of collapsing, but she's still holding on."
Hendrix frowned slightly. I didn't know what he was thinking.
Rowane had always been an efficient worker. She was in charge of the whole meeting, so Hendrix did not participate in the whole process. He just stood with me in the audience, as a spectator.
Nearing the end of the auction of another big company, I was about to fall asleep, but suddenly, I jolted back to reality at the sight of an emotionless girl on the stage.
The whole stage was packed with men and women in their thirties. It was inevitable that the sight of a young, aloof 17-year-old girl would attract attention.
The young woman wore a black dress, and was showing signs of gloominess. She stood there on the stage, looking at the people off the stage indifferently. Then she began to introduce the details of the proposal she brought with her.
As someone who had done engineering bidding, I was not interested in what she was saying. In other words, there was nothing particularly outstanding about it. It was a bit dull and even boring. My attention was not on the bidding content, but on her face.
What should I say about this girl? She looked grim, like a ghost wandering on the road to hell. I don't know why I'd describe her in this way, but that was my strongest impression of her.
Mooda was a small company, so Wendy left the stage after the bidding. I couldn't help looking at her. Probably because she noticed that someone was looking at her, she returned my gaze.
I shuddered when her eyes met mine. This girl did not come across as warm and cheerful at all.
I looked away. On the stage, it was Rowane who was summarizing today's bid. After all, Roberts Group was a big company. There was a lot of room for profit if they accepted the deal, so many companies wanted to make a bid.
After a detailed analysis, Rowane finally chose the company that Oscar owned. The case was already handed over to Rowane. She was a rational person, and Hendrix was particularly confident about her capabilities.
Therefore, Hendrix didn't say anything about the final result.
After the bidding meeting ended, Rowane and Hendrix had something to talk about. I had nothing to do, so I wandered around in the bidding hall and saw the girl in the black dress standing at the entrance, she seemed to be staring at a painting, absorbed.
Everyone had an instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. I didn't want to talk too much with a girl like Wendy. There were parts of her that felt all too familiar, yet I didn't want to face them.
