Chapter 67
As soon as Enzo saw Roderick, he immediately sobered up.
Enzo said, “My cousin–in–law, I thought you had left. Are you waiting for me?”
Roderick said, “Enzo, I just talked with Mela about taking you to the laboratory later!”
Seeing Enzo, Roderick immediately smiled as if he had seen his brother!
Roderick totally ignored Darrin’s cold glare!
Hearing the word laboratory, Enzo immediately looked energetic.
Enzo said, “Okay, I’ll pack up my things and we’ll set out!”
Originally, Enzo didn’t plan to stay in Zerivia for more than one night but now knowing that he could enter TNH Laboratory, he didn’t mind staying longer.
After all, the Lambert family’s institute of genome was world–class.
Both its scientific achievements played a leading role internationally and its equipment was all cutting–edge technology. Not everyone was allowed to visit it.
To put it bluntly, this was a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity!
Enzo was so happy that his cousin–in–law was the scion of the Lambert family.
Melanie watched Enzo call Roderick his cousin–in–law obsequiously.
And Roderick responded to Enzo happily as if they were real brothers and no longer looked as noble as the scion of the Lambert family should.
No matter how many times Melanie rolled her eyes and winked at Enzo, Enzo still talked with Roderick, ignoring everything else.
Melanie was so angry and she didn’t what she should say.
So she slammed the door shut and went to the office of Rising Star to work!
In the next dozen days, it would be the peak time for the year to Rising Star!
The spring auction around the corner was the first one after Melanie officially
58%
became the CEO of Rising Star. She must give it her best performance.
In the first year after Melanie went to Rhodania, she was always confused and sorrowful.
Later, the three kids were born. Melanie, an 18–year–old unmarried single mother, almost wanted to commit suicide!
Fortunately, with the support from her cousins and the other islanders, and the three little kids‘ cleverness and cuteness, she overcame her fears.
In the next few years, Melanie learned as much as she could crazily.
For example, her grandpa’s medical skills, painting skills, and discernment in art.
Melanie tried all her grandfather’s businesses.
The past seven years were hard and fulfilling for her.
Melanie was more than competent to the position of the CEO of the Beloris branch of Rising Star.
But people in Rising Star, except for a few exceptions, thought that Melanie had. this job only because of her grandfather and uncle and it was nepotism.
So, Melanie worked hard on the next spring auction.
Melanie was determined to set the highest record for spring auction turnover in the world for the Beloris branch.
As soon as she arrived at the office of Rising Star and entered the CEO’s office, Jeff pushed the door open and came in.
Jeff said, “Ms. Robertson, this is the result of yesterday’s auction. Please have a look
at it!”
Yesterday was the first auction of the spring auction season, which included a popular art session, a calligraphy and painting session, a modern art session, and a porcelain session. It was just the beginning of the season.
Melanie looked at the number of yesterday’s turnover and nodded with satisfaction.
Melanie said, “Okay. Keep the close rate stable and pay more attention to the items
worth 2 million dollars and above.”
Under this circumstance, it would not be a task to achieve a turnover of 2.2 billion dollars by the end of the spring auction season.
Jeff said, “Yes, Ms. Robertson!”
Melanie said, “Ask everyone to keep working hard. We’ll have a vacation after the spring auction season ends!”
Jeff said, “Okay, Ms. Robertson.”
Jeff was very happy. She thought the Thomas family was indeed very generous.
As one of the few senior executives of Rising Star who knew Melanie’s background, Jeff knew that this young female CEO was actually very sophisticated better than anyone else.
Most importantly, Jeff thought Melanie managed the company flexibly and unconventionally.
She always came up with some surprising but great ideas that both generated revenue and happiness.
Of course, Jeff was happy to have this kind of boss.
Melanie said, “Tell the leader of every department that we’ll have a meeting at four o’clock in the afternoon. By the way, when Ms. Thomas arrives here, ask her to come to my office immediately!” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Jeff said, “Yes, Ms. Robertson.”
At that moment, Melanie didn’t know that Angie was not in Beloris so she definitely wouldn’t come here.
Seeing that Jeff was smiling and standing still, Melanie asked in confusion, “Is there anything else that you want to tell me?”
Jeff said, “Ms. Robertson, Mr. Lambert sent some coffee beans here. Do you want. me to distribute them to the employee like last time?”
Melanie didn’t realize what Jeff was talking about. “What do you mean? Last time?”
Jeff said, “Mr. Lambert said that you liked coffee so he sent a truck loaded with
coffee beans here!”
Jeff explained it with a smile as if saying, “Ms. Robertson, stop your acting. Everyone knew about it.”
Only then did Melanie remember that Geoffrey once said that he would give her
coffee.
Melanie thought, ‘My goodness! He is serious?
‘A truck!
‘First he sent me Lavazza coffee and then Blue Mountain!
‘Is there ever going to be an end of it?”
Melanie wanted to grab Roderick by the ear and ask him if he could understand. human language.
Jeff said, “Ms. Robertson, this time, there are more coffee beans than last time. Why don’t you just distribute them to the employees?”
Melanie raised her voice angrily. “Who asked you to take it? Give it back to him!”
Hearing this, Jeff became anxious.
Jeff said, “Ms. Robertson, you’ve accepted the gift last time. It doesn’t matter. anyway. Besides…”
Seeing that Jeff was hesitant, Melanie had a bad feeling.
Melanie said, “Besides what? Say it!”
Jeff gritted his teeth and said, “The leaders of all the departments have already acclaimed their shares. I’m afraid if I ask them to return it…”
Melanie screamed, “What?”
Melanie was furious. She didn’t understand why they were so cheap and forgot about their dignity for some coffee beans.
Melanie thought, ‘I don’t pay them enough and they can’t even afford a cup of
coffee?‘
To Mal
Jeff said, “Ms. Robertson, it’s the best Blue Mountain coffee and is limited to wealthy families in Beloris. It takes more than just money to buy it.”
Seeing that Melanie’s face darkened, Jeff quickly changed his tone.
Jeff said, “It’s not their fault. It’s just Mr. Lambert’s generosity makes them think it’s not good if you refuse him!”
Melanie snorted coldly, “Not good? Why?”
Jeff said, “Vision Museum has sent someone here. They want to buy the ancient books from the spring auction and their offer is 40 million dollars. If we give the coffee back to Mr. Lambert, I’m afraid he will feel embarrassed!”
Melanie thought Jeff’s obsequious look was so unbelievable.
