The next day, Yvonne reached Northerna City Airport on time to pick Jim up.From the moment he saw her until they got into the car, Jim pulled a long face.Yvonne looked at Jim before starting the car. "Grandpa, is everything alright? I came all the way here to pick you up, and you haven't even smiled at me.""I want to know if you've given up on working with Well Spring Pharma," Jim said angrily."I …"Jim got even angrier when he heard Yvonne hesitating. "I knew you wouldn't listen to me if I reprimanded you over the phone. I had to come back and keep an eye on you myself.""What?" Yvonne asked confusedly. "You came back just because of this?""Of course not!" Jim glared at her. "The main reason I came back was to check on Excel Pharma. We have to be very careful when it comes to manufacturing medicine. There must be no mistakes. It's not that I care about Hope's reputation. What's important is that no lives are lost."Yvonne smiled and replied, "That's right."Jim rol
Yvonne trembled and immediately struggled to break free from Stephen. Unexpectedly, he held on tighter.Yvonne warned him through gritted teeth, "Stephen Anderson, we're in front of my house.""As the driver, I would know," Stephen replied with a smile.Yvonne was stunned. "It was just an offhand remark.""I think the first response is always the honest one." Stephen slowly moved in closer as he teased her, "You really think of me as the driver, don't you?"His voice made her heart flutter.Yvonne felt her heart beat faster. In a moment of desperation, she stepped on Stephen's foot.As he winced in pain and loosened his grip, she quickly broke free from his embrace. Turning around to glare at him, she said, "A driver will be fired if they flirt with their employer."With that, Yvonne turned around and scurried off.Stephen smiled as he watched her leave. She was helpless against his teasing.…Three days later, Jim decided to visit Excel Pharma's factory. Yvonne cleared he
Jim and Yvonne completed the factory tour with Annie and some of her executives.Jim was an alternative medicine enthusiast, so he naturally had a fondness for factories that manufactured alternative medicine. He sang praise for their work throughout the tour."I never thought that Excel Pharma would still insist on manufacturing their own alternative medicine. After all, we live in a world where modern medicine is favored. It's no easy feat!"Annie smiled when she heard that. "Thank you, Mr. Jim. To be honest, our family used to own an alternative medicine practice. We couldn't bear to throw away our ancestors' legacy."Jim was very glad to hear that. "Your family specializes in alternative medicine?"He turned to smile at Yvonne and said, "I'm very happy with this deal. When I get back, I'll have a meeting to make the final decision. "Once that is done, I'll get Conan to kickstart the marketing campaign."Yvonne was slightly surprised. "I thought your generation never liked
Jim was very furious. "Get lost! We are no longer mentor and mentee! Don't you dare talk to me about these things!"Yvonne patted Jim's back to comfort him when she saw him trembling with anger. "Grandpa, please calm down. Your health will get worse."But Jim wouldn't listen to her.He kept staring at Chuck. Yvonne had never seen such a look on Jim's face before.As far as she could remember, Jim had always been smiling. Even when he got angry, he would calm down very quickly. He had never been this angry. He looked like he could eat Chuck alive!Yvonne pulled a long face at Chuck. "Mr. Jensen, since you're not welcome here, please leave now."Chuck slowly took out his handkerchief and gently dabbed at his wet suit. "Sir Jim, your temper is still as fiery as ever. Won't you hear me out?""I have nothing to say to a traitor!"Jim was enraged and threw another glass at Chuck.This time, Gwen stood in front of Chuck to protect him. Even though she caught the glass in time, the
Seeing how angry Jim was, Yvonne didn't dare to agitate him further.She turned to Annie and apologized, "Ms. Long, I'm sorry about today."Annie smiled. "It's fine. We can meet again another day.""Okay," Yvonne responded, tugging on Jim's sleeves. "Grandpa, let's go. I'll explain it to you in the car."Jim got up without saying anything. He walked out of the room. Yvonne picked up her bag and quickly followed him.In the car, Yvonne told Jim about how Mark had made Gwen work for Chuck.Jim got angrier the more he heard. He said through gritted teeth, "That bastard is still as despicable as back then!"Yvonne sighed. "You know how important Gwen is to me. I can't leave her."Jim looked at her. "Is this why you kept asking me about my views on Well Spring? Because of her?"Yvonne nodded.Jim knocked on her head. "You silly girl! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? If you had told me, I wouldn't have been so fierce with you over the phone."Yvonne scrunched her neck
"Chuck gave the results of our research to another medical company. He got a visa abroad and became one of the core members of that company."Jim smiled bitterly. "The funny thing was, he came to look for me even before he went abroad. He said that alternative medicine was in its twilight years and would soon be replaced. He wanted me to go with him."Did you know that the company he joined specialized in stealing other people's research? Then, they manufactured cheap medicine for sale. Later on, they even bought low-quality materials to reduce costs. "The medicine they created was terrible. They have no regard for human life! It was only ten years ago that this company was reported by a number of other companies, and then it went out of business!"Jim gritted his teeth and punched the car door. "They are just a band of thieves with no conscience!"Yvonne was sorry to see Jim so furious that he was shaking. She reached out and patted him on the back. "You left Northerna City ba
Anson looked at where Alvin was pointing. Sure enough, he saw Chuck, who had just entered, being swarmed by a group of reporters.Chuck was a legend in the medical field. On top of that, he had lived abroad most of the time. The reporters here had never gotten the chance to properly interview him.When they realized he was at the press conference, they couldn't pass up the opportunity to ask him some questions."Mr. Jensen, you have suddenly returned to the country. Is there something you'll be doing here? Does Well Spring Pharma have a new direction in the country?""Mr. Jensen, you're attending a press conference today. Are you interested in the two companies?"Questions came one after the other. Chuck smiled politely before releasing a piece of huge news. "The main reason for my return this time is because I want to work with Hope Health Services. Well Spring Pharma has been growing internationally. "But I have long wanted to return to the country to search for a bigger mar
With the media covering the event, Yvonne and Annie signed the contract. It was followed by rapturous applause and flashes from the cameras.Annie was so excited that she was at a loss for words. She grabbed Yvonne's hand tightly to show her gratitude. Excel Pharma had never had such a great moment in a long time! All the attention they had that day was thanks to Hope!Yvonne realized what Annie was thinking. She turned to say into Annie's ears, "This is what Excel Pharma deserves."Annie was stunned. She looked at Yvonne proudly and nodded. "Ms. Miller, don't worry. I won't disappoint you."Yvonne smiled.The reporters had decided to use the picture of them smiling at each other as their main photo.It was then time for the reporters to ask questions. The atmosphere was rather relaxed. Perhaps it was because they were both women, so the reporters didn't make things difficult for them or ask them hard questions.Half an hour later, the Q&A session ended. Everyone on stage than
