Chapter 50
Lucy watched in astonishment as Matthew took his phone out to dial a number.
“Hello, Levi? Send some managers over here. There’s a company that I need them to manage.
“Where? Lulu Comics.
“Yes, that’s right. It’s Mrs. Leon’s company.”
Lucy waited silently for Matthew to finish his call. When he finally hung up, she was going to say something when Matthew immediately made another call.
“Ms. Clark, I remember we recruited some arts and design students from Harvard. Assign them to Lulu Comics and tell them that I said so.”
After issuing a series of commands, things started to fall into place.
When Matthew was done with the calls, he looked at Lucy, who was doubtful and hesitant to speak. “Lulu, what’s wrong?”
Lucy shook her head without saying a thing.
Matthew sighed. “My dear wife, if you have something to say, just say it. We’re husband and wife. There shouldn’t be any secrets between us.”
Lucy lowered her head in shame, and her lips moved slightly. “Matt, thank you for recruiting employees and artists for me, but I must let you know that due to poor management, we’re running out of funds.
“The salaries needed for so many employees… There might not be enough to go around.”
Stuttering, Lucy wanted to crawl into a hole. She could not believe she told Matthew such an embarrassing thing!
He must be looking down on her for running the company so poorly. Matthew even managed to make his company number one in the world. She was nothing like him.
What did he see in her? Lucy was thinking all sorts of things.
“Has your company always operated without profit?
“How could that be?”
Lucy looked up with a determined gaze. “The company is only in this state because of the competition with Luna. If given the chance, I would’ve definitely expanded the company and made it prosper!”
It was true that the company was not doing well. However, if anyone‘ said that she would not be able to run the company even without those people hindering her, she would be the first to refute them.
She would work even harder just to prove them wrong.
Of course, she could make her company succeed!
Matthew chuckled. With such determination, there was no need to worry about her not being able to run her company well.
“Think of it as an investment. I’ll invest ten million dollars into your company.”
Lucy’s jaw dropped.
“Don’t be so happy so soon, wifey.
“I’m a businessman, and I never make losing deals.”
Matthew gave Lucy a foxy smile.
Lucy felt chills down her sping Why did it feel like there was a big trap
behind this conditional offer?
She looked at Matthew warily. “What are your conditions?”
Matthew held out three fingers and said, “Three years. I’m only giving you three years.
“In three years, you’ll turn this poorly managed comic company into the largest comic company in the world.”
Lucy was taken aback, but she began calculating in her head. In three
years…
It was too rushed. Could she do it?
Lucy began to outline one business plan after another in her head, continuously assessing the feasibility of this matter. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
If she managed it well, she had about a 40% success rate.
Lucy frowned as it seemed like it was going to be difficult. The success rate did not even meet the passing grade.
