Lauren blinked her big, expressive eyes and asked in confusion, “Why?”
Kingsley spread his hands and said, “Because I don’t think I even went all out.” Lauren’s expression froze instantly, thinking that Kingsley was truly terrifying. Watching as the flirty Lauren quickly turned and fled, her graceful silhouette disappearing in the distance, Kingsley felt completely misunderstood.
However, he had only spoken the truth. Last night, he had actually held back with Francesca. If he had not, things would have taken a much wilder, more intense turn.
…
Today was the scheduled delivery day for Stephen’s shipment. Kingsley and Lauren personally went to oversee the product being sent out.
Stephen wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned. “Mission accomplished, Mr. Baldwin. Please check if everything meets your expectations.”
Kingsley clapped his hands and said, “No need. I already looked it over-good work, Mr. Brunner!”
Stephen quickly laughed along. “As long as you’re satisfied, Mr. Baldwin, that’s all the motivation I need!”
Kingsley waved a hand. “Save the flattery for later, Mr. Brunner. There’s still a lot more weight on your shoulders.”
Stephen’s eyelid twitched, his face filled with uncertainty. “Mr. Baldwin, w-what do you mean?”
He had already stretched himself to the limit to complete Kingsley’s orders, working day and night without rest. Yet, judging by Kingsley’s tone, there was more coming.
Panic set in immediately-he had nearly worked himself to death over the past few days.
Kingsley spoke casually. “It’s simple. Exactly what you’re thinking-keep ramping up production for both formulas. Get ready for the second batch!”
Stephen shook his head frantically. “No way, Mr. Baldwin. I can’t-“
Kingsley cut him off. “There’s no such thing as ‘can’t’. Read this contract first, then decide if you still want to say no.”
Lauren smiled as she handed Stephen a folder. “Mr. Brunner, take a look. I drafted this myself.”
Stephen grabbed it and skimmed through the pages. Within seconds, his breathing grew heavier, and disbelief ashed in his eyes. “Mrnet
Baldwin are you saying I could be getting billion-dollar orders every month?”
Kingsley shook his head. “Not ‘could be’-it’s guaranteed. It’s all in black and white.”
Stephen’s hand trembled as he gripped the contract. “Mr. Baldwin, are these two products really that big of a game-changer?”
Kingsley smirked. “They’re launching today. Whether they’re as powerful as I claim-we’ll see soon enough. Bottom line, if you don’t want to be our pharmaceutical partner, ?ll just find someone else.”
Stephen furrowed his brows deeply, locked in an intense internal struggle. He had been producing these formulas for Kingsley, but he had never stopped to consider their true potential. It turned out that just manufacturing them alone could bring in billions every month.
What would the total sales revenue even look like if the production orders were this massive?
Stephen did not dare to imagine the actual market value behind these formulas. Nonetheless, a billion-dollar monthly revenue was a tempting offer he could not ignore.
His company, Glorious Pharmaceuticals, was already the leading name in Jayrodale. Even then, he had never enjoyed the luxury of billion-dollar contracts rolling in like clockwork.
If this deal was real, he might just have a shot at competing with Marvin for the title of Jayrodale’s richest man.
Kingsley chuckled and said, “No pressure. Even if, down the line, you decide not to work with us or you don’t want to handle orders this big, I’d understand. Right now, our products are all investment and no return. No one knows if they’ll actually sell. If they flop, that’s a massive loss!”
He added, “But let me remind you-golden opportunities don’t come around every day. When the market is hot, the smart ones soar. Those who hesitate and miss their chance? Well, they’ll just be watching from the sidelines.”
Stephen’s eyes flickered, and after a brief internal struggle, he clenched his teeth. “Mr. Baldwin, I’m in!”
Kingsley shot him a look of distaste. “We’re both grown men. Watch how you phrase that it sounds way too suggestive.”
Lauren nearly burst out laughing. Kingsley was definitely a little sensitive about certain words lately.
Stephen let out an awkward chuckle. “Right, poor choice of words. What I meant is that my company is taking this on, Mr. Baldwin. You don’t need to go looking elsewhere!”
Kingsley nodded in satisfaction. “Finally, a wise move from you.”
Stephen’s lips twitched. He could not help but ask, “Mr. Baldwin, are you really that confident these two products will take off?”
Kingsley smirked lazily. “If they don’t, then the universe is playing a cruel joke.”
…
As soon as the two formulas left Stephen’s warehouse, Marcus’ team took over and distributed them to various sales points.
Lauren looked a little nervous. “Everything depends on the next seven days. Back then, Michael’s numbers hit 20 million. I wonder how we’ll do.”
Kingsley remained calm. “Relax. 20 million? He won’t even come close to our lowest sales figure.”
Lauren could not hold back. “Dr. Baldwin, I agree that the Vitality Pill and Titan Essence Pill are game-changing products, and I’m sure people will love them. But as Mr. Brunner asked earlier, I have to ask too-how are you so sure they’ll be a massive hit?”
Kingsley met Lauren’s curious gaze, thought for a moment, and then said, “Simple. Because talking big isn’t illegal.”
Noticing Lauren’s confusion, Kingsley did not explain further and simply led her back to Rhodes Corporation.
If he did not believe in his own formulas, he would not have brought them to market. Besides, he had already arranged for the Aicker family to take a piece of the action.
en
The Vitality Pill and Titan Essence Pill would not just be successful-they would exceed all expectations.
Just then, a voice rang out, dripping with sarcasm. “Well, congratulations, Mr. Baldwin and Lauren! Your trash products finally made it to the shelves!”
Michael strolled over, clearly enjoying himself.
Lauren responded coolly. “We’ll see soon enough who the real ‘trash’ is. No need to get cocky just yet, Michael.”
Michael laughed, looking smug.
“Can’t help it When you’ve got results, confidence comes naturally. In just one week, we pulled in 20. million in sales. The new week is about to start, and I already had the marketing team run projections.
“This time, my three products will hit at least fifty million. Under my leadership, the Pharmaceutical Division is thriving. And Lauren, things aren’t looking good for you. That CEO seat? It’s mine!”
His arrogance was nauseating, and Kingsley had no patience for it. “Move aside. You’re blocking my way.”
Michael’s smirk stiffened, and he snorted. “Kingsley, are you jealous already? Afraid of losing?”
Kingsley scoffed. “I already told you-you can’t win. The results aren’t even out yet, and you’re already running over here to brag? Are you brain-dead?”
Michael’s face turned red. He had not expected to hit a wall like this.
His expression darkened as he sneered, “Fine. Enjoy your little fantasy for another week.”
Michael sneered. “When the time comes, I’m going to crush you so hard, you won’t even know what hit you!”
He truly could not understand why Kingsley and Lauren were still bothering to put up a fight. Even with Glorious Pharmaceuticals backing them, he believed there was no way they could produce anything worthwhile in such a short period.
Michael had never been more confident. At this point, losing was not even an option.
Just then, Tiana called them over. Michael walked up with a smug smile. “Aunt Tiana, what can I do for you?”
With his numbers climbing, he spoke with newfound confidence.
Tiana’s expression was slightly grim as she slammed a document onto the table. “Take a look at this!”
Michael frowned and flipped through the pages. The moment he grasped what was inside, his face twisted in anger. “Snees Corporation is entering the pharmaceutical industry?
“And according to this analysis, their products are almost identical to Rhodes Corporation’s Pharmaceutical Division’s former flagship formulas! H-How is this even possible?”
Lauren finished scanning the document and said, “No doubt about it. The formulas our Pharmaceutical Division lost ended up in Snees Corporation’s hands.”
Michael’s voice dropped, his tone ice-cold. “The Snees family must have a death wish. I’ll take a team over there right now and shut them down!”
Lauren scoffed. “That’s just blind rage. You don’t have any proof-what grounds do you have to go after them?”
Michael snapped. “Their products are proof! Isn’t that enough?”
Lauren smirked. “Their product names, branding, and packaging are completely different from ours. What exactly do you plan to use as evidence?”
Michael was momentarily speechless. Then, gritting his teeth, he growled, “I should’ve known. That snake Ruby must’ve been sent by Hannah!”
Kingsley spoke calmly. “Not Hannah. Aspen.”
Tiana’s eyes flickered with surprise. “Aspen? What makes you so sure?”
Kingsley remained composed. “I’m not certain. It’s just a strong hunch. Aspen has been stirring up trouble ever since she arrived in Jayrodale. She’s never been content to sit on the sidelines.
“She has ambition and a massive appetite, which is why she poured a billion into Atlas, only to watch it alk go up in flames. With nowhere else to turn it wouldn’t be surprising for someone a ruthless as Aspen to set her sights on Rhodes no
Corporation’s Pharmaceutical
Division formulas.”
Tiana let out a cold laugh. “That woman better hope I never get my hands on her, or she’s finished in Jayrodale.”
Kingsley was more than happy to watch Tiana go after Aspen. After all, both women were formidable in their own right-throwing them together would be an explosive spectacle.
Tiana flipped to another document. “Aside from Snees Corporation, the Weller family is also launching new health supplements. Rhodes Corporation’s Pharmaceutical Division is already struggling. One wrong step, and we could be pushed into a dead-end!”
Her expression was more serious than usual as she glanced at the group. She quickly shifted her gaze, but Kingsley still caught it her eyes lingered on him for just a moment too long.
He could tell that Tiana was hoping he would step up and come up with a plan. Too bad for her-Kingsley no longer trusted her. Unless it concerned Lauren, he was not lifting a finger for Rhodes Corporation.
Michael puffed out his chest. “Aunt Tiana, don’t worry. Even if those two companies join the competition, I’m not intimidated. Based on the results I’ve already achieved, we’ve got nothing to fear. Worst case, we toss them a few scraps-let them think they’re eating well when they’re just licking up leftovers.”
Tiana, however, completely ignored him.
Instead, she turned to Kingsley with a smile. “Mr. Baldwin, what do you think? I have a feeling we’ll need your insight on this one.”
Michael and his inner circle were stunned that Tiana was asking Kingsley for advice.
Lauren and Marcus were just as surprised.
Since when did Tiana humble herself enough to seek someone else’s opinion?
Michael grew anxious and blurted out, “Aunt Tiana, why are you asking him? What can he possibly do?”
He quickly followed up, “You have nothing to worry about. Even if the Snees and the Wellers both jump in, I guarantee I’ll keep them completely suppressed!”
Tiana shot him a cold glare. “I hate when people interrupt me while I’m talking. Right now, I’m asking Kingsley, not you. So shut up-that would be the best thing you could do!”
