Chapter 40 Chapter 40 "Better not be anything important." "Here, Ms. Adler, please have some," Mr. Jennings said. "This is a fine tea I've been saving for a long time. Please, give it a try." Scarlett Adler looked at the tea and took a small sip. She didn't know much about tea, so she couldn't really taste anything special. "The project team changed at the last minute, and I didn't expect a beautiful woman to take over. It's quite a surprise. Please forgive me if I haven't been the best host, Ms. Adler," Mr. Jennings said politely. "Mr. Jennings, you're too kind. Knowing how busy you are, I think we can get straight to the point." Scarlett Adler's politeness was firm and respectful. Mr. Jennings looked at her for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, everyone's here, so we can discuss it together." Scarlett Adler took out the files. "Mr. Jennings, I only took over this project this afternoon. I've looked over your requirements, and I don't see any problems. However, the costs may increase, and I wanted to let you know in advance. Here's a simple price list from Manager Yan. You can take a look." "As long as you can meet my requirements, the cost is not an issue," Mr. Jennings said, looking intently at her, showing no interest in the price list. Scarlett Adler nodded. "In that case, I'll prepare a proposal when I get back. If you have any other requests, feel free to communicate them to me." Mr. Jennings agreed, "Alright, no problem. I believe in your abilities, Ms. Adler, and I'm sure you'll satisfy me." Originally, she had come prepared to negotiate the price, but Mr. Jennings was so agreeable that the meeting went too smoothly. Scarlett even suspected that she was in a cheesy drama. "Well, Mr. Jennings, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go back and work on the proposal and come to your company to discuss it in person later," Scarlett said.
