Beyond the Divorce

I smiled faintly. "You're right, Mr. Ricky. The information you provided was limited. But Eleanor has brought me the latest data, and she's meticulously explained it to me.

"Eleanor has been very thoughtful. After all, when promoting your brand, you need to speak with your strongest offerings, don't you agree, Mr. Ricky? You have to show me your best! Otherwise, how can I figure out if I should work with you or not? If the product has no selling points, why should I collaborate?"

My tone was assertive.

I noticed that Vernon's expression soured a bit, but his displeasure seemed directed at their marketing manager.

Rumor had it that this marketing manager was a relative of Andrea's.

Vernon asked Ricky, "Why didn't you bring all the latest information?"

Then he looked at Eleanor. "Did you get the latest information?"

Eleanor immediately responded, "I got it from Johnson, the marketing manager at Ardora. It should all be up to date."

Andrea quickly spoke up to defend Ricky. "We can't risk our new products being leaked. After all, we've experienced situations where certain people resold our products under our name. I think Mr. Ricky was right."

Andrea's words hit the nail on the head, and I was left speechless.

After all, Matthew's actions were well-known within the industry.

I forced a smile.

"Ah, I've heard about things like that. But we're different. We're aiming to produce high-end products and won't produce knockoffs. We can't make a decision without seeing the best of what you have to offer." "We have high expectations for Surface Solutions's products in our secondary project, Ms. Chloe. The cost-effectiveness is still relatively high," Eleanor finally spoke up to support Surface Solutions.

"I don't deny this, but as you know, our secondary project is about to be complete." I rejected Eleanor's suggestion.

At that moment, the waiter started bringing in the food.

Eleanor quickly changed the topic.

"The food is here. Let's eat and talk. Ms. Chloe, if there are quality issues, I can provide some suggestions. Mr. Vernon, you'll need to work hard on the new products."

Vernon quickly said, "Eleanor is right. Cooperation requires constant adjustment. Of course, I also hope to hear more good advice from you, Ms. Chloe."

"I don't really have much to say about this. There are several excellent ceramic tile products in the market right now. They really are outstanding." I relaxed and casually mentioned a few names.

The names I mentioned were replacement manufacturers we had found after the failed collaboration with Surface Solutions. Their quality had been improving unexpectedly.

"You have a good eye, Ms Chloe. But their costs are relatively high," Vernon commented.

"Indeed, but with our large quantity, partner businesses can rest

assured. Just one project in

Bourdan un will be enough for them to avoid the hassle of attracting new customers. And there's also the project at Avalon Hills next, said assertively.

"Avalon Hills?" Vernon said with some doubt, "Avalon Hills... is your project too?"

"Yes! Both Phase Two and Phase

Three. It's just as good as Bourdamun," I said unapologetically "The design for Phase Two had been complete when they were attracted to the new Bourdamun modet and added Phase Three, merging the two for construction."

"Isn't..." Vernon trailed off as he looked at Eleanor, evidently seeking confirmation.

Eleanor calmly said, "This project has always been under Ms. Chloe's control."

Vernon's face turned pale, and his jaw tightened.

Andrea seemed a bit uneasy.

"Avalon Hills has been signed to Liora. They said they would use Surface Solutions's ceramic tiles."

I remained silent, and Eleanor did not speak either.

When Andrea saw that neither of us had any intention of cooperating with her narrative, she became displeased. She shifted her frustrations onto Eleanor.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"Eleanor, they say that you shouldn't

forget the hand that feeds you. You

worked at Surface Solutions for so

many years. Don't you have any professional ethics? Now that you have a new boss, you shouldn't cause trouble for the old one!"

She continued disdainfully, "Do you really think all those unsavory traces have been wiped away just because you left your old place?"

Andrea's words made everyone in the room feel awkward, especially me.

Vernon suddenly turned to Andrea. "What are you doing? Is this the right time to make those baseless remarks?"

I looked at Eleanor, and she remained silent, looking at Andrea indifferently.
