In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 574 Go There Personally

"His injuries …"

"I have arranged for the best surgeon to go over there to assist and ensure his safety," Xander said smoothly.

"If he were to return, the news of an explosion on site would be revealed at once. I'm sure you agree that publicizing this isn't good for the company, Dad."

Raymond looked his son up and down. "You've thought of everything."

Xander smiled slightly. "I'm just afraid that Aunt Priscilla will worry if she finds out."

"If she's worried, then send her to Linden City to take care of Jake. You can make the arrangements."

Xander said, "I will."

Hazel could clearly sense the undercurrents of the conversation, and she felt genuinely pleased for Xander.

Xander then reported on a few more work matters to Raymond. Before he could leave, Raymond stopped him.

"You've grown a lot in the two years that you've been away from Fulton Group. I think it's a good thing. Keep it up."

Xander's calm facade cracked slightly. "It's all thanks to your guidance, Dad."

…

When they were in the car, Hazel couldn't resist asking, "Why didn't you tell Mr. Fulton Senior about your plans to break into the domestic market?"

The scenery outside the window flew by as they drove. Xander seemed to be in deep thought as he rubbed his sleeve between his fingers absent-mindedly.

"It's not the right time yet."

When they reached Fulton Group, a secretary came up to them as they passed the secretariat office and handed over some materials.

"You asked me to investigate the location where Ms. Lewis got caught in the fire. It's a new teahouse in the center of Pamore. The fire has been extinguished, and there were no victims."

Xander took the document and flipped through it.

He saw the name of the teahouse and read it out loud, "Blossoms Teahouse".

Hazel said, "It's pretty elegant."

…

Meanwhile, in Pamore, Luke had said the same thing.

The news had been a hot topic in Pamore.

"It's such a pity. I heard the owner say that it had taken them half a year to build the place and that he had personally designed the interior. Now it's all been burned up."

Grace thought it was a shame, too. She had chosen to have her discussion with Quentin Yeager at Blossoms Teahouse because of its environment.

"Go and prepare a generous gift and send it to this address."

Grace was about to give the address to Luke, but she stopped short. "Never mind. Prepare the gift. I'll deliver it personally."

After all, that manager had saved her life. She should at least visit him personally.

"Also, don't tell anyone that I almost got in danger there."

Luke assented. Grace asked, "Is Mr. Yeager still supplying materials to Eastwood?"

"Yes. I haven't heard him say anything about stopping the supply."

Grace propped her chin up with her pen and fell silent for a moment.

It seemed as if Quentin was in the clear. If that was the case, she could put the matter out of her mind and devote her full attention to the upcoming Black Friday sale event.

…

At the last regular meeting for the e-commerce project, Ashley and the others made their report.

"The supply chains from here to the foreign e-commerce platforms are all ready. According to your orders, we have canceled pre-orders for all the products that are being sold by Amirate's partners. We will deliver the goods as soon as the orders are placed."

Grace nodded. "How is everything with the personnel reserve?"

"We have employed a batch of temporary staff, and we expect that will be sufficient as long as nothing unexpected takes place."

"What about the live broadcast streamers?"

"At the moment, we have about 1800 streamers with varying degrees of popularity. Some have already started to conduct warm-up events.

"Wayne will begin his live broadcast very soon too. He's known for his reputation as 'Strict Wayne', so the results are sure to be good."

Grace nodded slowly. The Black Friday sale wasn't just important for Amirate to get a breakthrough on its performance. It was also an important chance for Byte Technologies to level up.

"What about the foreign markets?"

"Everything's ready."

Grace smiled. "Good work. When everything is over, I will be sure to be generous with your bonuses."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
