The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer)

Chapter 1132 An Authorized Representative

Eager to experience the unique flavors of Iugrean food, Geraldine and Lina went to a restaurant in Iugrea that specialized in serving Epean dishes.

Epean cuisine was highly regarded in the country and considered a high-class gourmet delight.

However, in reality, the so-called Epean cuisine was more like a modest roadside diner in Iugrea, without anything particularly fancy about it.

After being seated, Lina handed them both a menu.

"While the decor here may not be the best, the taste is absolutely impeccable. Feel free to order any dishes you like. I'm well acquainted with the chef here, so you can even customize your order."

Customizing dishes was a specialty when it came to Iugrean cuisine, similar to how some people made special orders due to dietary restrictions.

Chefs always had their own set of standards when it came to cooking, ensuring the quality of the food and preventing significant discrepancies between dishes, thus avoiding potential complaints from customers.

Lina was evidently a regular at the restaurant, as everyone, from the server to the boss, greeted her with a smile when they entered.

Since Donald couldn't understand Iugrean, Geraldine took on the role of translator.

While waiting for their food, Lina briefed them on the situation with Baccio and the Havenzo family.

"So, Baccio's refusal to cooperate with us is because he plans to bring down your CEO, Letizia?" Geraldine furrowed her brow, feeling caught in the middle.

Lina glanced apologetically at Geraldine and said, "While Baccio has always been at odds with our CEO, we didn't anticipate him being so audacious this time."

"Ms. Harper, if possible, could we revisit our discussion about the collaboration? Just you and me."

Geraldine looked perplexed. It wasn't that she didn't trust Lina, but her position was simply too low.

Equality was paramount when conducting business meetings.

Regardless of how eloquently Lina spoke, she was still just an ordinary employee.

If I were to sign a contract with an employee at her level, and something went wrong later on, what could I do if Schiavoni Enterprise refused to take responsibility? Then I'll have to accept the stroke of bad luck and bear all the consequences.

In business, it was considered common sense to discuss matters with individuals of equal status. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Therefore, Geraldine shook her head and declined Lina's proposal. "If your CEO is genuinely sincere, she should be the one to engage in a personal discussion with me. I hope you understand, but for such a crucial business collaboration, I cannot negotiate with you."

Lina understood Geraldine's concerns. After a moment of contemplation, she responded, "Our CEO is currently under close scrutiny by the family. If she meets with you all, you will be under the watchful eyes of the other family members. I'm worried that this might cause unnecessary trouble for you. I can have our CEO issue an authorization letter for me to act as her representative. What do you think, Ms. Harper? Would that be acceptable?"

Geraldine pondered for a while and then said, "Of course, that's fine. However, the authorization letter must have all the necessary seals."

"No problem."

Lina picked up her phone and called Letizia immediately.

Moments later, Lina returned to her seat.

She smiled at Geraldine and said, "Ms. Harper, the CEO's authorization letter will be delivered shortly. I believe we should be able to discuss some details about our collaboration while we eat."

Just then, several motorcycles honked loudly as they pulled over at the restaurant entrance.
