Chapter 409: Needs Consideration
Faced with Elder Lawrence’s question, Nora Northwood answered truthfully, "As you said, there are countless businesses, and after my market research, I’ve found that many companies have started new paths, but only the Lawrence Family has consistently stuck to this one."
She paused and added a few more words, "Since I got to know Young Mr. Lawrence, he has introduced me to many insights. I admire him, and I admire you as well."
The few of them chatted in the study for a long time, with most of the time being occupied by Nora Northwood speaking, while Elder Lawrence occasionally asked some detailed questions, and Finnian Lawrence listened quietly from the side.
Finally, Elder Lawrence gave a response, "I need some time to consider the matter of collaboration. Finnian will give you a reply within three days. During these three days, you can think about the positioning of the product series."
"Alright, I look forward to your response."
Having reached this point, it was mostly a sign of agreement to cooperate. However, given the gravity of the matter, one couldn’t decide solely based on impulsive decisions.
As Nora Northwood left the study, the weight hanging in her heart finally eased.
She paused under the eaves, slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air.
Finnian Lawrence followed closely behind, his demeanor elegant, eyes bright like a clear spring, and with a gentle smile, he asked her, "Are you still nervous?"
"I’m feeling a bit better now."
After the tension passed, her smile became more pronounced, even the dimples at the corners of her mouth appeared fleetingly.
A breeze blew by, bringing with it the scent of peonies that drifted into her nose.
"You’re just one step away from success, why not celebrate a bit early?"
"Indeed, I owe you a meal."
As the two were about to leave the courtyard, the butler chased after them, handing Nora Northwood a small pear blossom wood box, "Miss Northwood, this is a gift from Elder Lawrence for you."
"Thank you for me to Elder Lawrence."
After speaking, Nora Northwood was still in a state of astonishment, not understanding what kind of gift this was.
Nevertheless, since it was a token of Elder Lawrence’s goodwill, she would naturally keep it carefully.
At this moment, even Finnian Lawrence didn’t notice anything amiss.
The butler watched the two leaving together, a smile of deep affection appearing at the corners of his mouth, and prepared to report back to Elder Lawrence.
Finnian Lawrence personally drove and took Nora Northwood to a private dining restaurant.
From dozens of meters away, they could see a group of people sitting in line at the entrance, seemingly waiting.
"Is this restaurant really that crowded?"
"Authentic food, many locals like coming here, and getting a seat is indeed difficult."
Just as Nora Northwood was hesitating about whether to choose another restaurant, a waiter approached, "Do you have a reservation for two?"
"Elder Lawrence."
Finnian Lawrence mentioned his grandfather’s name, and the waiter’s expression changed to one of respect, "Please follow me this way."
Soon after, they went to a private room on the fourth floor.
Inside the private room, there was a dedicated waiter who promptly poured tea at an appropriate temperature as they arrived, "Putuo tea, please enjoy."
Finnian Lawrence offered Nora Northwood the opportunity to choose the dishes, "Ladies first, see if there’s anything you would like to eat."
Nora Northwood took a look, carefully going over a few pages.
No wonder there was such a long line downstairs; the menu was full of dishes not commonly seen.
She picked out a few items, not forgetting the pastries she had been longing for.
After the ordering process was completed, the waiter left with the menu, temporarily leaving the space to the two of them.
The two began chatting again about the topic of fragrance, and just when they were getting into it, the waiter started bringing in the dishes one after another.
