Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 200

"You don't need to understand the deep-freeze technique. However, you should at least know what economy could create an efficient and high quality route," Rick answered.

A light suddenly flashed through Charlotte's eyes.

Rick reached out her hand with a smile and rubbed her head, just like how he treated Anne when she was a child.

She was embarrassed and she lowered her head. "I'll continue to learn."

"You don't have to learn now. You have to apply what you learn."

"What do you mean?"

"Let me ask you, what is international economics?"

From an academic perspective, international economics is a study of the economic relationship and interdependency between different developing countries.

That includes the global market, international trade, finance, investment and so on.

However, if it was by her own understanding...

Charlotte muttered, "It comprises the capital and capital consumption as well as the desire to buy."

"What is a capital?"

"The money and property used to invest and gain profits. In short, it's just money."

"What is capital consumption?"

"Uh... That is, if I bought something from you, my money would be consumed." Charlotte gradually lost the ability to describe it in technical terms.

Rick curled his lips and leaned towards her. "Miss Charlotte, please explain to me what it means by the desire to buy?"

Charlotte was confused.

After some time, she tentatively said, "I want to buy something."

"Have you realised anything?"

"What, what..." She was stunned.

"The more incomprehensible things are, the better it is for you to simplify it. You learn just so you are able to understand the terms they say. There's nothing to be afraid of."

All of a sudden, she understood what Rick meant.

It was like when a person said the word "inflation." People would easily understand it because everyone knew what it meant.

However, no one would know the meaning of the word "sunk cost." So people would feel intimidated by the word.

Learning was just to keep herself at a certain standard. She has to keep her calm even when she reaches a certain level of success.

Only then can she solve any difficulties she faced.

"Rick, I understand now." Charlotte clenched her fist, picked up the documents and said, "I won't embarrass you. I'll study hard!"

"You don't have to worry about embarrassing me. Even if everything goes wrong, I'll be by your side."

"Rick..." She was so touched she choked on her words.

Rick slowly bent down. Charlotte was in a daze but she still closed her eyes.

Her heart was racing.

This was her fiance.

There was a warm touch on her forehead.

She heard him chuckle. "Come, let me take a look at the documents you have."

Charlotte opened her eyes and looked deep into his eyes. She felt touched by his gesture. She took in a deep breath and handed the documents to him. "The main direction and focus of this meeting are..."

Charlotte gave a good explanation.

Rick listened while taking notes, nodding with satisfaction from time to time.

The sun rose and set again.

By the time they had prepared all the materials, it was already morning.

"Go have your breakfast. I'll get you a room to rest." Rick picked up the documents and put them in his bag.

"What about you?"

"I still have another meeting. I'll find you after I finish, okay?"

"All right."

Charlotte went to her room and took a shower as soon as she reached the hotel.

In her daze, she felt her forehead heat up again.

Why did he like to kiss her forehead?

Charlotte couldn't figure it out.

Shane never did, no he would never do that... Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

As she thought about it, Charlotte shook her head hard. No, she could no longer think of any other men.

She should only think of Rick.

In the blink of an eye.

It was the day of the meeting.

Charlotte followed Avery into the room.

There were already two people sitting at the meeting table.

One of them was Shane, whom Charlotte was very familiar with. He was wearing a black suit, tie and a pair of frameless glasses. It made him look even more elegant.

The other one was dressed casually. He wasn't even as good- looking as Shane. He looked very ordinary but he had a very good temperament.

She could see he was very tall even when he was sitting.

He must be about 1.85 meters tall."

"This is Ashley Lincoln. He doesn't have a good relationship with Shane," Avery explained.

"What about you?"

"It seems that he doesn't think highly of me. Although I can make him go bankrupt in an instant. He's actually a second generation high official." Avery covered his mouth and smiled, "I prefer a gentleman, like Rick."

"Do you really like men?"

Avery patted her on the shoulder and quipped, "You're so annoying. This is something private. Why? Do you want to set me up with some men?"

Charlotte didn't know what to say.

Forget it.

As soon as she asked such questions, Avery would start acting like that.

Charlotte almost suspected that he had been hurt by someone before. Moreover, it was a man.

After she took a seat.

Charlotte felt a little uneasy, mainly because Shane was sitting opposite her.

The moment she lifted her head, she could see him. So she tried to keep her head down.

The president also came. He looked even more ordinary than Ashley. Avery explained that he was a nouveau riche. He had no ability but he got lucky when he won the lottery. He only graduated from junior high so he needed some help. Which was why he established the Airline Union.

"It's really unfair for some people," Charlotte complained.

"It's only fair this way."

Huh?

Avery's words echoed in her mind the whole time.

Suddenly, she felt there was some sense in his words. Some people worked hard their whole lives so they could gain some wealth and live a mediocre life.

While others didn't even graduate from high school. They were plain-looking so they had better luck. But they too lived a mediocre life.

Ashley was the first to speak in the meeting.

He immediately made a change in the air transport schedule saying it should be moved from six o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the morning.

Shane directly voted against that without even stating a reason. So Avery had no choice but to explain the reason why, which made Ashley mad.

The two of them seemed to be discussing things but in fact, they were both arguing openly.

After the meeting, Charlotte didn't learn anything useful. On the contrary, she just learned a few more scheming tricks.

She jotted down so many notes on her notebook, she almost couldn't understand.

"This one seems to be a new face." As they were about to leave, one of the managers approached Charlotte.

She didn't have a deep impression of him so she just nodded her head.

"In this day and age, anyone can get anywhere based on their looks. May I know where this young lady graduated from?" The manager completely ignored Avery as he smiled at Charlotte.

Shane picked up the notebook and glanced coldly towards Charlotte's direction. "Mr. Kent, I heard you were diagnosed with liver cirrhosis a few days ago?"

His face darkened at Shane's words. "What do you mean, Mr. Fuller?"

"The person standing next to this lady is Avery Hart."

"Hmph, he's just a pervert that the Hart family disowned." Mr. Kent said arrogantly, "It means nothing!"

Avery smiled elegantly and pulled Charlotte behind him. "It's fine if you don't like me. But you're not really a gentleman to talk down on innocent people."

"Anyone related to you wouldn't be any better," Kent spat as his gaze lingered on Charlotte. "Didn't she just sell herself to enter the company? Why? Am I wrong? Don't tell me she graduated from Stanford? Hahaha..."

Mr. Kent left with a smile.

Charlotte remained calm on the surface but in reality she felt a little hurt.

She tried so hard but she still couldn't overcome the prejudice of others.

Avery patted her on the shoulder and encouraged her. "Don't take other people's opinion too seriously. He said that because he didn't know you."

"I'm fine."

Charlotte walked out alone.

Avery was about to follow her but he noticed Shane had quickly left too.

He touched the corner of his mouth and sighed helplessly.

Forget it. After all, she was not his woman. There was no need for him to comfort her.

He had already called Rick. It was another day of him helping others selflessly.
