The executives seemed to want to intimidate the newly appointed Rayna, as they spoke very fast when
reporting without having any consideration for her and even used abbreviations for some professional
terminology.
However, Rayna maintained a neutral expression the entire time, scanning through the documents on
the table while listening to the reports from the various departments.
She sat there with her legs crossed, radiating a powerful aura.
By the time the executives finished reporting their work, Rayna had also finished reading all those
documents.
She praised herself inwardly as she swept her gaze over the two thick stacks of documents on the
table. After remaining beside Curtis for so long, I have even picked up his multitasking skills.
The image of the man’s calm andposed demeanor that suddenly popped into her head made her
heart twinge.
What’s the point of thinking about him? That man has long found a new love. How could he possibly
remember me?
Seeing that Rayna had not spoken a word, the assistant beside her carefully inquired, “Do you have
anything to say, Ms. Gand?”
“Yes.” Rayna took a deep breath to suppress the irritation in her heart before taking out one of the
documents and hurling it to the center of the conference table, making everyone jump and look at her.
She then instructed the assistant tly, “Open this year’s first quarterly report.”
“Right away.” The assistant did as she was told, and the pie chart of the quarterly report soon appeared
on the projector screen.
“Is this the first quarterly report?” Rayna pointed at the projector, her gaze piercing. “At the beginning of
this year, thepanyunched three new products with an A-list celebrity as spokesperson, and the
promotion expenses were higher thanst year. But why is the revenue for this first quarterly report not
as good asst year’s? Not only was the spokesperson for the few new productsunched at the same
timest year a D-list celebrity, but the expenses were also lower.”
Someone from the marketing department spoke up. “Ms. Gand, those few productsst year sold
well because they rode on the poprity of a movie. There’s no such thing this year, so—”
“So it’s understandable that the first quarterly report isn’t as good asst year’s even if we hire an A-list
celebrity and spend so much on promotion?” Rayna smiled as shepleted his words. “Is that right?”
Her stare sent chills down the marketing department executive’s spine, leaving him at a loss for words.
Rayna continued tly, “You’re working in the core department of thepany. The sess of the
product depends on you. If you invest so much and the results aren’t as good as they were the
previous year, then it’s your fault. The headquarters only read the first quarterly report. They don’t care
and aren’t interested in the process. If they discover that the branchpany’s expenses haven’t kept
up with its revenues, they’ll hold a meeting to discuss recing employees or makingyoffs. Following
that, if the figures in the annual report don’t exceed their expectation, the entirepany will undergo a
complete overhaul.”
She tapped her slender fingers on the table. “I don’t think any of you would want to witness a terrible
oue like that.”
After saying that, she lowered her gaze and scrutinized everyone, observing that all the executives
were silent and looked worried.
It was apparent that she had seeded in frightening them.
Rayna softened her tone slightly, “I’ve discussed with the headquarters about setting up benefits for
everyone when I came here. After the quarterly report is released, everyone in the department who
performs well can receive a double amount of the quarterly bonus. The same goes for the year-end
bonus.”
She could see the eyes of many executives lighting up and zing with excitement as soon as those
words left her mouth.
Motivating people with money is the most practical approach.
Rayna took in all their various emotions. “I’ll deliver the first quarterly report on schedule to the
headquarters and take the k for you all, but I’m hoping that the figures on the semi-annual report
would please everyone. If that report is still unsatisfactory, I’ll talk to every department and consider
hiring recements. Is that clear?”
She raised her voice, grabbing everyone’s attention.
“Yes!”
“Okay, then that’s it for today’s meeting.” Rayna pushed back her chair and got up. “I’m going back to
my office.”
There was silence until she left, after which the tense atmosphere in the conference room instantly
turned lively.
The many executives exchanged looks, and they all saw a trace of fear in each other’s eyes. After the
meeting that day, they learned that the newly appointed vice CEO appeared friendly but was not one to
be trifled with.
Soon, the contents of the meeting spread throughout thepany, including the benefits set by Rayna.
Only after some people bragged about it to their social circles did otherpanies learn that Glory’s
CEO had changed. The new vice CEO previously worked for Hatchair Group and Faymon Group and
used to be the CEO of Faymon Group’s secret girlfriend.
It did not take long for the news to spread among social circles and be the talk of the town.
Curtis never paid attention to those gossip forums, so he did not know whichpany Rayna went to.
As for thetter, she was too preupied with paperwork at her new workce to take notice of the
gossip.
Despite being busy, Rayna still cared a lot about the babies, so she would take a break and eat
whenever she felt hungry.
She would regrly work for four or five hours straight in her office.
At three in the afternoon, E, her assistant, knocked on the door and entered the office with a file in
one hand and a beautiful cake in the other. “Ms. Gand, this is the fruit cake you requested. I told the
shop owner to add only oranges and kiwis. It doesn’t contain any other fruits.”
Rayna raised her head from the document and smiled at the other woman. “Okay. I’m sorry for
troubling you today by making you run around outside. The snacks I ordered online will be delivered
tomorrow.”
“I’m just doing my job as your assistant.” E ced the file on the table before continuing, “The
company willunch a new fragrance next month. Here is the relevant information. Please take a look.”
Rayna took the file and flipped it open while E swiftly opened the cake box, sliced the cake, and
handed a slice over.
“Thank you,” Rayna said as she epted the te.
The cream was not overly sweet and melted in her mouth. On the other hand, the orange was
overflowing with sweetness when she bit into it, and she found it a little hard to swallow.
She hurriedly spat it out on the paper.
“What’s the matter, Ms. Gand?” E asked nervously when she saw that. “I watched the shop owner
make the cake. He whipped the cream with the oranges on the spot. I even tasted the oranges. Does it
not suit your taste?”
Rayna nodded and replied helplessly, “Yes. I want to eat oranges, but this orange doesn’t taste right.”
As soon as I tasted it, my stomach started churning.
“I heard from the shop owner that they are premium oranges imported from Hallsbay, and they aren’t
cheap.”
“I’m pickier with my food,” Rayna replied while massaging her temples.
I’m pregnant, but I can’t let anyone find out about it, so I can only take the me for the babies.
“I’ll buy you another one then.”
“That won’t be necessary. You must be exhausted after running around all day today.” Rayna stopped
her and continued after some thought, “I recalled that Faymon Group previously purchased an orchard,
and the fruits there are good. If you have time, find out the phone number of the orchard and order
some fruits for me.”
E nodded. “Okay. I’ll look into itter. If there isn’t anything else, I’ll go out now.”
“Mm. Go ahead.”
The orange cake was tossed to the side by Rayna as she simply could not eat it. Instead, she took the
leftover biscuits from morning and munched on them while looking through the documents.
Glory specialized in cosmetics and perfumes. Naturally, they could notpete with luxury brands in
the cosmetics market, but their global sales were quite good. Every new fragrance they had previously
launched would swiftly be the most popr in Aploth.
Glory’s profits had, however, plunged ever since their chief perfumer was poached by a big brand five
years ago, and in that period of time, they had gone through three different perfumers. Ultimately, it
was not until the headquarters poached a great perfumer from a big brand that their revenue gradually
stabilized. It was short-lived, though, as it worsened once more over the past two years.
The new fragrance was not their perfumer’s final product, but rather, it was purchased for a handsome
price by the headquarters from someone else. Thepany executives even signed a bet-on
agreement with otherpanies.
