Zane noticed that the samples were not onlymon merchandise avable in the market but also practical everyday items that had been turned into merchandise. He was impressed. "Very professional."


    Eric nodded in agreement. "Yes."


    "With the recruitment for the merchandise andics departmentsplete, if everything goes smoothly, all the remaining merchandise should be ready in a few days. "However, I think the growth rate for theic''s following isn''t fast enough.


    "So, allocate more funding from the finance department to the advertising team. After all, the early stages of promotingics are heavily reliant on burning through cash."


    Ericid out his n methodically, and Zane, who nevercked funds, simply said, "Approve."


    It was through Annalise that Eric had learned about the potential and profitability of theics industry. Its promising prospects made him take it seriously.


    Eric added, "There weren''t many applicants for the trantion department, which handles international promotion, but I''ll keep an eye on that and also oversee the progress in theics department."


    His detailed arrangements put Zane at ease. "No problem."


    Huxham Corporation offered the best benefits in the country-high sries, no mandatory overtime, and excellent perks. Interns earned 7,000 dors a month, while full-time employees started at a minimum of 20,000 dors after their probation period.


    After a year, sries were increased, and there was year-end profit sharing. Employees enjoyed a standard two-day weekend and all public holidays.


    It was the dream workce for many.


    Zane believed that those who hesitated to apply weren''t deterred by Huxham''s policies but simply weren''t aware of the recruitment notice.


    ...


    Back in the office, Zane recounted the updates from Eric.


    I looked up at him, surprised. "Things are progressing this quickly?"


    Zane''s tone was steady as he said, "Preparation is key to avoiding unexpected problems."


    His strong desire for control over his business was likely one of the main reasons for his sess.


    After pondering for a while, I said, "If this keeps up, my share of the profits each month will be quite substantial."


    To Zane, the amount I received


    wasn''t much, but he still paused for a moment before realizing that my share was significantpared to my sry. Smiling, he said, "That''s correct."

    I voiced my thoughts, "In that case, can we give more bonuses to the employees in theics department?"


    Zane hadn''t expected me to bring this up. With a light chuckle, he reassured me, "Don''t worry. Thepany already provides them with performance-basedmissions." I finally felt relieved.


    ...


    Steven''s phone buzzed incessantly with bills, but he barely nced at them. The money Jessica spent no longer minded him. What mattered was Annalise.


    Sitting in his car, Steven only wanted Annalise toe downstairs so he could talk to her. Yet after two hours of waiting, she still hadn''t appeared.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Running out of patience, Steven recalled his business partnership with Huxham Corporation. Using this as a pretext, he could enter thepany and find Annalise directly. With this n in mind, he drove into the underground parking lot and took the elevator to Zane''s floor.


    When Eric saw him, he stepped


    forward to intercept him. "Mr. Pelham, what brings you here?" He frowned slightly as if questioning his memory. "I don''t recall Mr. Huxham having any scheduled meetings with you recently."


    Steven quickly lied, "There are some issues with the coboration. I remember Annalise works here. Ask her over to coordinate with me."


    Eric immediately understood Steven''s real intent: he just wanted an excuse to meet Annalise.


    Knowing Zane''s feelings for


    Annalise, Eric firmly sided with his boss. "Apologies, Mr. Pelham, but Mr. Huxham has already established a separateicspany just for Annalise."  en
