As Lukas was checking upon them, he then asked: "What are the current development?""We have already finished all preparation." One of them then reported: "The only problem left is picking the companies to form partnerships with.""We will be accepting all kinds of ties from big companies, but as for the small companies and medium ones, we have a question about them, are they going to be included as well?"Lukas looked at her and asked: "And you are?""Ah, sorry for not introducing myself, I am Tiffany Zain, I'm the head of this team only under your and Miss Nara, also in charge of being at the front." Tiffany introduced herself.Lukas nodded his head: "For those small and medium companies, accept all of them."Tiffany then asked: "The benefits of acquiring ties with those smaller companies are quite small though, I see no reason to add them to our catalogs, they will even occupy large pages of the website, by then, even large companies will feel quite dissatisfied with our company."
When the two people met, an aura seemed to be clashing between the two of them."Nice to meet you." Lukas smiled as he greeted him."Same here." Arnold just nodded his head.Arnold then looked at Wulan: "I will be eating here as well, how about I share a table with the both of you?"Wulan nodded "Sure, I wouldn't really mind."She then looked at Lukas: "How about you?"Lukas chuckled: "I really want this to be a date, but if someone really wants to cut in our time alone, I wouldn't mind."Hearing this, both Wulan and Arnold were shocked, it was quite a straightforward man.Wulan immediately woke up, she was about to drive Arnold out for now and apologize later, but then, Lukas chuckled."Just kidding, come on, join us." Lukas smiled as he said those words.Arnold felt annoyed, he wanted to glare at him, but Wulan is currently present, hence, he reined himself and nodded his head: "Then, I will thank you in advance.""No worries, sit, sit." Lukas adjusted his seat to be beside Wulan wh
With everyone entering the conference hall, the presenters started to arrive as well."Everyone, I will be the spokesperson of this conference and will be the one to sign the contracts of the people that we will be forming ties with us throughout the world.""Sorry to have made all of you nervous, but our CEO had made a decision for all of those that want to form ties with us to be accepted," Tiffany uttered with complete confidence."This... then, shouldn't we have just waited and proposed many things?" One of the smaller companies asked.Tiffany chuckled: "Well, we used all of your proposals to further increase our marketing influence in the near future, so I hope everyone will not mind it, after all, instead of accepting only 100 companies, are you all even 100% sure that any of you will be accepted?""After all, our CEO had been the one that set the standards for our partnerships' requirements." Tiffany chuckled."Oh."Tiffany smiled: "Well, since he had set his standards really h
Arnold couldn't believe his ears and shouted: "Wait a minute!"Hearing his shout, everyone couldn't help but look at Arnold.Arnold frowned at Tiffany: "Are you sure you can represent the whole of the company?"Tiffany glanced at him and smiled: "Is there something bothering you about my decision?"Arnold glared at her: "I've come here with my company bringing the best interest for cooperating with 'Helping Hand', yet, you've dismissed this and started picking a much weaker company?"Everyone looked at Tiffany then: "Hmm, to answer your question, yes, I represent the whole company.""My words represent it directly.""As for other things, we thought that the Skyrize Eagle Company does not really focus on businesses like what we had been partnering with."Arnold frowned, he immediately rebuked: "What of it, if we from the Skyrize Eagle Company do not have a good relationship with the Black Bronze Company, wouldn't choosing us to be a better option?""If that is the case, why are picking
Wulan tried her best to maintain her composure, she started walking to the stage.As she arrived there, Tiffany smiled at her."Um, CEO Tiffany, hello." Wulan tried to bow with respect.Seeing her about to do that when her boss is already in front of her, she immediately stopped her from even doing so and immediately held her shoulders: "Y-yeah, how about just calling me sister from now on?""I think it will be a great boost in our company for me to have a beautiful sister like you, fufufu, what do you think?" Tiffany asked with a genuine smile.Wulan shook her head immediately: "No, no, that wouldn't do, you are already a CEO already of a higher rank company."Tiffany looked at her, trying her hardest not to look in Lukas's direction."Hay, Sister Wulan, here is the thing, what is your position in the company?" Tiffany asked.Wulan replied: "I am a CEO?"Tiffany chuckled and nodded her head: "Truth be told, you are a person of higher standing than I am, I'm nothing but a temporary CE
Everything went quite well, Wulan couldn't believe her own eyes. She just received ten whole years' worth of the whole Astral Car Company's income.With a massive success on Wulan's part, the conference ended.She chatted with Tiffany for a while. A few other companies started talking to her trying to form connections for a bit, but they didn't promise anything, after all, it's just for good relations, if the Astral Car Services company goes down, they won't lose anything, but if it ever turned into a massive company, it will be them having good relations to them that will benefit them for future collaborations.Soon, as Wulan arrived back at the company, it was already noon.About half of her employees already went home.Wulan was the only one excited at this point... She felt quite alone.It was like people are there just for work, not for their relationships. She shook her head, after all, that is what it is, they only work here for the money, while she's employing them for their s
The first thing Lukas did was to drive out of Wulan's company.He immediately picked up his phone.[Lukas: find me Lilian's address.Nara: xxx 19 xx 12 xxxxxxxxx 88131.Lukas: fast as always.Nara: -laughing menacingly- of course.Lukas: I need supplementary herbs right now.Nara: Head to Leira Pharmaceutical Hospital just outside the city, it is the closest storehouse of our herbs, but only low-level herbs are stored there.]Lukas: Got it.]Lukas checked its address, it's really far, already close to the Cein City, and it will take an hour or two to arrive there.Lukas immediately increased his speed to the road's limit.After more than an hour had passed, Lukas arrived.Seeing him, the guard didn't even ask for his identification and reason for being there.It was already 8 PM in the night when he had arrived.Soon, a person from higher management arrived.The security guard still didn't know who this person who he is currently escorting. But a slight answer to his curiosity immedia
Lukas immediately started using the heating device and couldn't help but sigh."At this heat, I won't finish concocting within 30 minutes... alchemy fires really are suitable for concocting medicinal herbs..." Lukas couldn't help but lament.Alchemy fires are special flames that could burn the physical properties of herbs and other medicinal ingredients and turn them into liquid easier.But without an alchemy fire, Lukas sighed. Although he only has a basic tier Alchemy Fire, that fire could easily finish his concoction within three minutes!But using the stove's flames? It will take roughly 30 minutes, and what is more annoying for him is, there will be a lot of impurities if he does not clean it up properly.Soon, he started burning the herbs directly, and the physical property started melting and turning into liquid.He did the same things with other herbs, trying to do everything in a single go, at the very least, he could combine the fluids later on.It took thirty minutes until
