After saying that, Iris paused and added, "I know you did this to help some of the lower-level employees, so let me offer a suggestion. I'll have a word with Mister Mercer later and ask him to lower the factory's production capacity standards so that the performance bonuses will not be affected!""No! Iris, I know that the subject of raw materials has been troubling you a lot. Even if the production capacity standard was lowered, it's a stop-gap solution that doesn't address the root cause! I... I want to share your burdens." Leon said, summoning up his courage."You..." Iris was stunned, and an indescribable warmth surged into her heart. Leon's guess was right, the issue of raw materials was indeed one of her constant troubles!The rapid development of the company in the past two years, coupled with the insufficient supply of raw materials, left her no choice but to let Ashwin go on a business trip to source new partners who could provide the raw materials. She knew that the qualit
If those energy-infused morning dew were added to the raw materials of cosmetics, it would greatly improve the effects of the resulting cosmeceutical and promote the better amalgamation of raw materials!Behold, the beauty of nature!Leon collected the morning dew into a container. Since the spiritual energy produced at night had been absorbed by the morning dew and there was no extra spiritual energy for him to refine, he had no choice but to go back down the mountain.Back in the company, Michael was having a heated chat with Ashwin the latter's office. Ashwin happened to be the person in charge of raw material procurement, as well as production and processing, and the factory manager Guido Boyd was his subordinate.Leon stayed in the factory all day yesterday, where he made known his plans to increase the refining efficiency as well develop some cosmeceuticals. Guido realized that something was amiss and so reported it to Ashwin as soon as possible.Ashwin nearly blew up after
"I'm going to contact a few senior executives and have them try to cooperate with the R&D department to put pressure on Leon," Ashwin continued. We'll all work together during the meeting to prevent Leon from getting his way!""Gotcha." Michael nodded and exited the office.On the other hand, Leon and Ariel were on their way to the factory when they learned that Iris was holding a high-level meeting. They decided to cancel their plans and walk to the meeting room together.When Leon and Ariel arrived, the company executives were already in the meeting room.At that point, Iris entered the conference room with her secretary, Gracie, to the sound of heels clacking.As Iris sat down in the front seat, the previously noisy meeting room fell silent."Because this is our routine meeting, I'd like all departments to present their progress reports and business reports from the previous month. You can also bring up any issues you may have," Iris said casually. Her expression was as cold a
Seeing as everyone was speechless, Ashwin had no choice but to speak up. "Miss Young, we trust Miss Summers's ability beyond a shadow of a doubt, but—"Iris, however, interrupted him before he could say anything, "I don't want to hear any buts! It was Leon who secured the contract with the Wick Group, so it stands to reason that this cooperation ought to be entrusted to him! The bottom line is this: I've already made up my mind, and all discussion about this matter is to end here!" Iris slammed the table and made a final decision."I... Alright." Ashwin's expression soured and he slumped back somewhat embarrassedly.He initially planned to join hands with several executives to put pressure on Leon and attempt to force Leon into relinquishing that authority. Little did he expect that Iris would value Leon so much more than he imagined, even to the extent of giving it her all to defend Leon and waste all of Ashwin's efforts.However, he was not one to give up so easily, so he quietly
"How long has it been since then without any signs of progress or updates from your end? Are you trying to stop others from succeeding in what you have failed to do? That's some desperado logic you have there!""How dare you make such accusations? Who said that our R-and-D department has no results to show? We've made breakthroughs since the approval of funding and we'll be able to develop high-end cosmeceuticals soon!" George became red with rage."How soon is soon? A month? A year!" Ariel scoffed.George was irritated. "It won't take that long. I can give you a guarantee that our R-and-D department will be able to launch three different cosmeceuticals within a week!""A week? Really!" Everyone was taken aback. No one expected that the R-and-D department would finally have something to show after months and months of practically zero achievements!"That's great news!""I didn't expect Mister Proctor to drop that big of a revelation out of nowhere!""Indeed. Our company is curre
"Mister Wolf, we have so many talents in our R-and-D department. It took them half a year to even obtain any noticeable results!""Who do you think you are? Claiming that you'll manage to develop ten cosmetic products in just one week?""You're just dreaming!" George mocked.If someone who was not even in the field was able to develop new cosmetics in just a week, then what would be the purpose of the research and development department?!"Leon, I know you're acting with the company's interests in mind, but this isn't something within your capabilities. What are you trying to cause a scene for?!" Iris glared at Leon unhappily.She remembered very well how Leon told her himself that he was not that confident in this the night before.Yet, at that moment, Leon guaranteed that he would be able to develop ten new products in just a week.There was no way she could believe Leon!"Miss Young, I'm not trying to cause a scene. I'm speaking the truth! I have the confidence that I can do
"Alright, I agree! You'll be out of this company soon!" Ashwin sneered as he looked at Leon in disdain. He looked like he already had victory in hand."That's a promise! Let's have Miss Young and all our colleagues here be our witnesses!" Leon smiled."He doesn't know his place!"The executives were amused by Leon's words.They did not think Leon had the skill to obtain victory, and none of them knew where Leon got the courage and confidence from!"Alright, the meeting is ending!" Iris glared at Leon unhappily.She thought the same as the rest and did not think that Leon could lose. However, when she saw how confident Leon looked, she did not say anything about it in the end.…In the next few days, Leon threw himself into the factory, looking into how to increase the effectiveness of their products with Stanley as well as developing new products.Thanks to all their hard work, the matter saw a drastic improvement.When it came to processing raw materials, Leon followed Stanl
"Of course! I was fortunate this time, and I've already accomplished what I promised Miss Young last week!" George had an incredibly pleased look on his face."Really? Then we'll have to congratulate you!""High-end cosmetics are very important to the growth of the company. Once Miss Young finds out, your department will be handsomely rewarded!"…Quite a few executives offered their congratulations."Mister Proctor, you did well!" Ashwin nodded in satisfaction.He was in the same boat as George at that moment. The fact that the R-and-D department succeeded was a good thing for him. It meant that they already secured half of the bet!Not long after that, they heard some high heels walking over. Iris entered the room with Gracie, the secretary. She sat in the main position and looked up, saying strangely, "Hey, where's Leon and Ariel? Why don't I see them?""I don't know, we haven't seen them either, "Everyone shook their heads in bewilderment."Could Leon be trying to run aw
