Cheryl sat to the left, glaring at Celena, who was brooding opposite her. Anger was etched on Cheryl's face, but beneath it, a trace of glee flickered. She chimed in with fervor, "Celena, you're a real curse, aren't you? The materials were your responsibility, and they've been outright rejected three times. Do you grasp the gravity of that?""We've just been notified by the Quality Supervision Bureau that our materials have repeatedly failed to meet standards and must be corrected. If we have to resubmit for inspection, it'll be another half a month. Do you understand how vital this batch is? How much of a delay this half month will cause to our schedule? How much will it cost the Stone family? Lacking competence, yet you cling to your position, and when trouble arises, you just cower, expecting us to clean up your mess?"With those words, the Stone family company's executives, many of whom had little love for Celena, pointed at her with anger, piling on the rebuke."Celena, what on
Yafe was livid, his neck flushed and his eyes blazing as he thundered, "Do you really think I, Yafe, would stoop to sabotage a young one like you? Am I as clueless as you? Have you any idea how much this half-month mess is costing the Stone family?"Cheryl, equally incensed, stood and jabbed a finger at Celena. "Zip it, Celena! What are you trying to say? That Dad's setting you up?"Yafe's face was a mask of fury as if he had been deeply insulted by Celena, and the other Stone family executives were quick to pile on the censure.Celena shot up from her seat, her hands fluttering as she rushed to clear the air. "Dad, Cheryl, you've got it all wrong! That's not what I meant at all," she pleaded.Yafe let out a dismissive snort and cut to the chase. "Enough, Celena. No more excuses. You've got until the end of the day to secure that approval from the Quality Supervision Bureau. Fail, and I'm taking this to the boss. He'll have to think about putting someone else in charge, someone who
Cheryl sneered and returned to her seat, looking at Celena with disdain.Tears were welling up in Celena's eyes as she glanced at the people who were present. She saw that all of them were looking at her with an icy gaze. Some were mocking her, some were looking down on her, and some were gloating.She did not intend to stay any longer upon seeing that. She wiped off a tear at the corner of her eye and packed her documents, ready to leave the meeting room.Suddenly, a staff barged into the room, running in a hurry and shouting frantically, "Bad news, sir! Bad news! Mr. Stone, Ms. Stone, there are a bunch of soldiers outside. There are a few military trucks too, and they are all packed with materials! Hurry up and go take a look!"Yafe immediately looked up. He did not dare to believe his ears, so he asked for confirmation, "What did you say? Military trucks? All packed with materials?"Wiping off the sweat on his forehead, the staff nodded and said, "Yes, there are a few of them,
Yafe and the crowd walked hastily to the parking lot and saw the troop of armed soldiers from afar. The soldiers were guarding the military trucks that were filled with materials.People who did not know better would have thought that the trucks were delivering some treasures. That was because two soldiers were standing next to each truck with their guns, guarding it solemnly.Yafe and the others only saw this scenario on television. They never saw such a thing in reality at all.Yafe was incredibly excited deep down. He felt that every single step he took was filled with pride, especially after he saw the shoulder mark of the person leading the soldiers. Realizing that the man was a first lieutenant, Yafe immediately put an ingratiating smile on his face.Yafe extended his hand with a fawning smile and said, "Hello, sir. May I know what brings you here?" Steven led the troop himself to transport the materials upon receiving orders from Malcolm. He was dressed in a well-fitted un
"I'm very sorry, Ms. Stone. I can't tell you that. It's classified information of the military, you see. But I can promise you that these materials are manufactured by our armory, so they are definitely of top quality."As Steven said that, he gave the soldier next to him a signal with his eyes. The soldier saluted him before he immediately turned to the truck behind him. He then grabbed a quality inspection report from the armory in Southern Precinct and handed it to Celena.Steven continued, "Ms. Stone, this is a quality inspection report from the garrison of Drunham City. You can send this batch of materials to the Quality Supervision Bureau of Drunham City to get them inspected as well. There won't be any issues with them."Celena accepted the report and nodded in a daze. Then, she saw Steven and the few military trucks out of the factory.It was after Steven and the others left that the crowd let out a sigh of relief. After all, they were just ordinary folks. Facing so many ar
Hearing Liam's words, Celena could not help but grumble bashfully, "You're such a sweet talker."Liam's smile grew wider. He knew Celena would get embarrassed easily, so he did not dare to go over the board. He quickly asked, "Oh yes, Celena, what would you like for dinner? I'll go get groceries later. I'll make dinner and wait for you to come home."Celena no longer felt tense since the issue was resolved. After Liam teased her, Celena felt completely relaxed, so a faint smile appeared on her gorgeous face.She gave it a serious thought and said with a smile, "I'll take you up on your offer, then. Let's have barbecue ribs. Oh, and some chicken soup."Thinking about the food made by Liam got Celena feeling a little hungry. She continued, "Liam, the food you make is too delicious. Jovie and I love them. I'm feeling a little hungry now at the thought of the barbecue ribs.""Alright, I'll do as you say. I'll make you barbecue ribs, chicken soup, and your favorite crawfish tonight," L
Theodore sneered and continued, "Mr. Fabin isn't greedy for money, but he's a lecherous man. I treated him to dinner last night and got him five women. "I've asked him to find a random reason to reject Celena's materials and deliberately stall them. I'm guessing that Celena and the Stone family's company must be in a mess right now. "After all, this batch of materials is going to affect their collaboration with the Max Group. If the schedule is delayed, the Stone family is probably going to suffer a huge loss."The grin on Theodore's face became ferocious and his gaze became incredibly vicious upon saying that.Yessica, on the other hand, nodded happily. She, too, had a ferocious grin on her face as she said, "Haha, that's fantastic. Celena's going to be resented by the Stone family now. They are certainly going to give that bitch a hard time."Theodore nodded and echoed, "Of course! You've no idea how important this batch of material is to the Stone family. Just a one-day delay
Yessica snickered bashfully and got up from Theodore's lap. She then squatted under the desk and pleasured Theodore with all her might.Right at that moment, Theodore's phone suddenly rang. Theodore was enjoying himself, but he was interrupted, so a hint of displeasure gleamed in his eyes.He grabbed his phone and was surprised that it was Mr. Fabin from the Quality Supervision Bureau who was calling.He waved his phone in front of Yessica and said with a smug smile, "Did you see that? Mr. Fabin's calling. The Stone family must have gone to him out of desperation."Upon saying that, Theodore answered the call. With a smile, he asked, "Mr. Fabin, since you're calling me at this hour, could it be that you've gotten everything settled?"Yohan was sitting in the chair in the office of the Materials Department at the Quality Supervision Bureau. Grinning as he succeeded in his evil scheme, he said, "As to be expected of Mr. Eaton. You truly have such good predictions. But with me steppi
