"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
George clapped, motioning for the specialists from the R-and-D department to bring the trolleys over.After that, he handed the products to them to be tested.All of them explained the relevant data and requirements needed to be considered high-end products before they put the cosmetics into the machines.As the machines worked, George used his laptop to connect to the screen and showed the results on the large screen in the meeting room.Right next to it, he displayed the data for high-end products so everyone could compare."Miss Young, please look. All three of these products are qualified to be high-end products based on the country's regulations! There are also three of those data points that greatly exceed the requirements!" George said proudly.Twelve main factors were being tested, and three of them far exceeded the requirements. It meant that the effects were very good.The company could use those three factors to storm into the market!"That's great! Mister PRoctor, y
Leon put all the products from the black bag onto the meeting table. There were exactly sixteen bottles."Sixteen?""Is he for real?!"Everyone was stunned as they exchanged looks of uncertainty.No one dared to believe what Leon said!"You can see if it's real or not after testing!" Leon had a calm look on his face as he handed all sixteen products to the specialists.The men from the R-and-D department were incredibly doubtful as they placed all of the products into the machines, undergoing their testing.Not too long after, the results came out.The employees rubbed their eyes in disbelief when they saw the numbers displayed on the screen."Reed, how are the results, are they high-end quality?" George could not help but ask.The other executives looked at the employees with concern as well. Even though they did not believe that Leon would be able to develop any cosmetics, their confidence started to sway at the unusual reactions."Mister Proctor, there seems to be a probl
