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
Lukas drove back to his second mansion.He arrived at 11 PM already.Jackal is there watching the gate."Master." He uttered.Lukas nodded his head and entered the mansion, all of the maids are already resting.He then went to look at a room, there, Kirsten is already fast asleep.He smiled, closed the door once more, and went to a vacant room.Immediately, he went and lay on his bed quite comfortably."It's definitely much more comfortable than Wulan's bed, haaa... the power of money definitely is great."He then closed his eyes and slept.But then, after just fifteen minutes, his door suddenly opened.Kirsten peeked from the door and sighed, she pouted slightly and then jumped on the bed with him.She was about to sleep when she heard his car drive to the garage and parked there, she immediately woke up and looked out of her window before pretending to sleep.She had thought that Lukas will be finally visiting her, but it seemed he just want to rest in the mansion, hence, she initia
Lukas approached Wulan immediately.It's stupid to even ask if she was fine: "I'm here."Wulan nodded at him."What are you planning to do?" Lukas asked.Wulan shook her head: "I don't know what to do right now, I lack the power to actually deal with this situation.""Not only the company is against me, even our partners and investors want me to surrender my authority in order to avoid the risk of me failing, they want me to hand over this branch until it finishes the partnership with the Helping Hand company..." Wulan uttered with helplessness.Lukas looked at her for a while, he could see her helplessness."Are they requesting a meeting?" Lukas asked.Wulan nodded her head "Yes, the meeting is today, after lunch."Lukas nodded at her and said: "Don't worry, let's just hope that everything turns fine."Wulan nodded her head.She sighed and stood up: "Well, nothing will change if I worry too much about it now."Lukas chuckled and nodded his head: "Yes, that is better."Soon, the two o
