Flossie remained calm.
She knew that all the people who stayed behind were those who sincerely wanted the company to do well. Even if they had disagreements, they all merely wanted what’s best for the company. She naturally had to respect their opinions.
“I actually agree with what Ms. Osborne said. I don’t understand why you would keep spending money to establish a Research and Development Department and a Production Department even though the Azure Group is facing financial difficulties. Do we really have that many things to research and produce?”
“If our company isn’t operating at such a large scale, why do we have to establish large-scale R&D and Production departments? It’s a waste of money.”
Jay Yassin got more and more emotional as he spoke.
That was because he was the person in charge of establishing the R&D Department and the Production Department. He watched money flow out of the accounts every day without any income, so he was very anxious!
“That’s a good question.”
Flossie snapped her fingers, then addressed the company employees with a calm expression, “I believe many of you here have the same question as Mr. Yassin. I didn’t want to explain too much before, but everyone here stayed behind for me, so we’re all on the same boat now. You have the right to know about all the decisions made by the company.”
“The reason why I want to quickly build an R&D Department and a Production Department is because the company is about to enter a high-speed operational period. In half a month to a month’s time, we will become the largest “G6 chips” manufacturer in the entire Beach City, and maybe even in the entire Aeos. If we don’t start to prepare now, when the order comes in, we won’t be able to process them. We’ll become a joke in the industry.”
Everyone looked at each other awkwardly after hearing that. They wondered if Flossie was delusional.
Jay Yassin said, “Miss Ellsworth, are you kidding? Everyone knows that the “G6 chip”’ is KCL’s flagship product, and KCL would only cooperate with the H Group. There’s no way the production rights of “G6 chips” would fall to us.”
“It wouldn’t happen unless you’re a relative of KCL’s CEO or a relative of H Group’s CEO… But I heard that KCL’s new CEO is a very mysterious old man and he’s Jewish, so I don’t think he’s your relative. As for H Group’s CEO, well…”
Jay Yassin did not finish his sentence, but everyone understood.
It was impossible for Flossie to be a relative of KCL’s CEO, and everybody knew about her and Halston Guajardo, so it was impossible for them to obtain the production rights of “G6 chips”.
Flossie’s lips curled into a meaningful smile. “Nothing is impossible in this world. As long as there’s enough profit to be made, even pigs can fly.”
After the meeting, every employee left the conference room with a hopeful smile. They now knew that they had made the right choice. They were right to follow Flossie Ellsworth!
Flossie returned to her office and sat at her desk to browse through some documents.
Shelley walked in with a grin, carrying a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
“Miss Ellsworth…”
Flossie lifted her eyes. She took one look at the girl and went back to her work.
“Miss Ellsworth, you’ve been working so hard. Why not have a cup of coffee and rest for a while.”
Shelley obediently placed the coffee next to Flossie, hoping that Flossie would stop to chat with her for a bit to satisfy her curiosity.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I was just worried that you would overwork yourself so I came in to persuade you to take a short rest.”
Flossie saw through Shelley’s intention immediately. She smiled wryly, “You want to ask me about Halston Guajardo, don’t you?”
“That’s right! Did you have a great time yesterday? Have you conquered him? Is that why you said we have a good chance of collaborating with the H Group during the meeting? Aren’t you grateful to me?”
Flossie was so mad that she almost laughed. “Yeah, thank you so much. Before this, me and Halston merely ignored each other, but now, we’re mortal enemies!”
“No way! What happened? I thought you were getting along well! Why…”
“Some things are better left unsaid.”
Flossie said solemnly, “I just want to warn you that if you dare to “matchmake” for me again, I won’t let you off lightly next time!”
“Yes, ma’am! I… I understand.”
Shelley thought Flossie must have her own secrets, so she did not dare to inquire further.
But she soon saw the breaking news posted by a famous paparazzi and… instantly understood everything!
Flossie was busy with work. She did not have much time to browse the internet on her phone, let alone pay attention to entertainment gossip.
Therefore, even if the “hot gossip” posted by the paparazzi was already a hot topic online, she remained oblivious to it.
By the time she was done with work, it was already time to go home.
She stretched, leaned back against her chair, and looked up at the white ceiling while planning in her mind how to obtain the Rainbow Glaze in secret.
She picked up the coffee Shelley brewed for her to give it a sip.
“Ah, Miss Ellsworth, stop!”
Shelley rushed in like a flying arrow, snatched the cup of coffee from Flossie’s hand, and said with a serious expression, “How can you still drink coffee?”
Flossie was confused. “Why can’t I drink coffee?”
“Coffee…”
Shelley took a quick glance at Flossie’s stomach. She thought that Flossie’s stubborn personality was preventing her from admitting the truth, so she said vaguely, “Coffee’s not good for your body. Drink milk instead. I’ll heat up a glass of milk for you. It’s nutritious and will warm your stomach.”
“Uhh…”
Flossie pondered for a moment and actually agreed, “You’re right. I’ve been feeling a bit unwell lately, so milk will be better for me.”
“That’s normal. My mom told me it happens to every woman who experiences it for the first time. She said they have to be very careful. They shouldn’t even get out of bed if they can help it. The consequences can be very dire.”
“What? I can’t even get out of bed?”
The more she listened, the more confused Flossie became.
Shelley thought Flossie was just feigning ignorance, so she went along and said, “It’s okay. Maybe you’re just feeling unwell because you work overtime so much. Just make sure you rest well and make up for lost sleep, or accidents may occur!”
“What’s wrong with you today, girl? Why are you behaving so strangely?”
“Maybe it’s because my period is coming soon. Don’t mind me, Miss Ellsworth. Just take care of yourself…”
While saying that, Shelley helped Flossie organize the documents and turn off the computer. She said meaningfully, “Miss Ellsworth, you have to stop working. Your body can’t take it. You should stay at home and stay in bed for the next few days. If anything happens in the company, I’ll give you a video call. Go home and rest!”
Flossie checked the time and frowned. “I do have some important personal matters to take care of in the next few days, so I won’t be coming to the office. If there are any issues, report to me immediately.”
She stood up from the office chair to leave.
Shelley quickly went over to support Flossie like Flossie was an Empress Dowager. “Be careful, Miss Ellsworth.”
After that, she fetched Flossie’s bag for her and asked Flossie, “Will you be fine by yourself, Miss Ellsworth? Do you want me to escort you home?”
Flossie was incredulous. “Of course not. Do you take me for a baby? Why are you taking care of me so meticulously? Act normally!”
Shelley chuckled and said, “You can’t be too careful. You’re the heart and soul of Azure Group after all.”
