    Chapter 750 Falling Short Of Expectations


    “As of now, we have yet toe to a conclusion. Previously, Mr. Faymon did ask us to conduct


    experiments first. In the beginning, we discovered that this element has a certain anti-aging effect on


    human skin. However, we noticed that the skin starts to rot after a week.” While speaking, the R&D


    team member presented a set of data taken from experimenting on a gori''s backside to Rayna.


    “You''re using goris as test subjects?” Upon seeing the hairless gori in the photo, Rayna was


    stunned.


    “Since we still don''t know the side effects of the element, we didn''t dare to use humans as test


    subjects. In this case, a gori''s buttock is the best choice.” The R&D team member was a young man.


    Scratching his head awkwardly, he exined, “Goris are the most simr to humans. Besides, this


    gori is naturally hairless, so it''s more convenient to conduct experiments on it.”


    In the photo, there were signs of rotten flesh on the gori''s arm. Rayna felt a sense of suffocation


    when she saw it. “Have you arranged for a veterinarian to treat it?”


    “We have. This photo was taken at the very beginning when its skin just started to rot. It''s much better


    now,” the R&D team member quickly exined when he noticed a hint of displeasure on Rayna''s face.


    Then, he showed her a photo taken not long ago. “This is the most recent photo.”


    There was a date on the photo. It was three days ago.


    “I have no objection to you all using animal testing when ites to experiments that are absolutely


    necessary. But you must know when to stop and not to overdo it.” As Rayna spoke, she directed her


    gaze at Curtis, who had been staring at the tablet while standing beside her.


    He was focused, even double-checking the photos she had seen earlier.


    “Any discoveries?” Rayna inquired as she leaned forward.


    “This gori''s arm looks evidently better than the other.” Curtis pointed at the gori''s arm in the photo.


    “There are way fewer wrinkles on its left hand than its right. Also, this is a photo from before. You can


    still see the difference when youpare both photos.”


    Looking at the photo disyed on the tablet, Rayna also realized the phenomenon. “Could it be that


    this element can really improve the skin''s condition?” But the R&D team member just said it would


    cause the skin to rot.


    “Have you found the exact cause of the rotting skin?” Curtis asked the R&D team member in a deep


    voice.


    “We haven''te to a conclusion yet, as we''re still in the process of elimination,” thetter answered.


    “By the way, how are the documents in the R&D department usually stored?” Rayna recalled the


    female employee who had stolen the document.


    “We just store them in the archive cabs in the room next door.” The R&D team member pointed in a


    direction.


    At that, Rayna shot Curtis a look, and they both went to the archives together. As soon as they pushed


    the door open, they felt the stuffy air from inside the room blowing on their faces.


    After switching on the lights, Rayna stood in the center of the room and looked at the cabs filled


    with documents. The cabs were not locked at all, and some of them were even left open.


    Curtis furrowed his brows at the situation, his expression cold.


    “Have you all been keeping documents like this all this while?” Rayna asked.


    Previously, when she was handling the affairs at the R&D department, she was more focused on the


    products and never paid attention to the backend operations.


    With an embarrassed expression, the R&D team member looked at Rayna and slowly exined,


    “Initially, there is ady working in the archives. This is how she always performs at work, and we''ve


    never seen anyone reprimand her. We are quite busy, too. Although we know we shouldn''t keep


    documents like this and have notified her in the beginning, she refused to listen, so we eventually gave


    up.”


    “Was the person we bumped into in front of the elevator the person in charge of here?” Rayna asked


    Curtis.


    Curtis shook his head. “She''s from the product development department; she''s not responsible for the


    archives.”


    “Where is the person in charge of here, then?” Rayna asked again as she looked at the R&D team


    member.


    “She took leave and has been away for almost a week. The employee from the product development


    department is just here to substitute for her position temporarily. Ms. Sanders knows about this,” the


    latter exined.


    “I''ll ask Jasmine about this.” Curtis informed Rayna before stepping out of the archives. He then stood


    in the corridor and phoned Jasmine to ask about the situation.


    Standing in the archives, Rayna darted nces between the door and the documents stored in the


    room. Frowning, she ordered, “Please lock this door in the future. Also, all the documents here must be


    categorized and archived properly. The person in charge of this must be professional.”


    Afterward, she asked, “Is that fine with all of you?”


    “That''ll be the best solution. We are also nning to reorganize this ce as it''s too inconvenient.” A


    female R&D team member immediately agreed with Rayna''s words. “I''m sure one order from the boss


    herself will be way more effective than us putting forth suggestions numerous times.”


    “I''m sorry. There has been a minor ident previously. Thank you all for the hard work you have been


    putting in at Glory. I hope everyone will work hand in hand and make progress together to ovee


    this crisis.” Rayna chatted with her employees in a gentle manner.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “Of course, we will.” Those from the R&D department expressed their support for her.


    Curtis, who returned to the archives after the phone call, chanced upon the scene of Rayna talking with


    the researchers. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said to Rayna, “I''ve verified the situation with


    Jasmine. Previously, she told thedy stationed in the archives to organize the ce, but she didn''t


    follow up on it because she was too busy. Besides, she isn''t aware that thedy is on leave. Hence, the


    matter got dyed.”


    A female employee from the R&D department of a simr age as Jasmine exined, “Ms. Sanders had


    always been handling matters regarding public rtions. While she does wish to manage the R&D


    department, she doesn''t have the energy to do so.”


    “I understand. All right, since I''m back now, you can tell me directly if you encounter any troublesome


    matters in the future. Talking to me in person or sending me an email is fine.” After gaining a general


    understanding of what was happening, Rayna had a short round of conversation with her subordinates,


    then left the R&D department with Curtis.


    “Are we heading to the PR department?” Curtis asked softly while looking at Rayna, who was linking


    her arm with his.


    “Yeah. I want to check on their progress.” The woman had a somber expression on her face.


    At that moment, the employees of the PR department were discussing the controversy surrounding


    Glory''s products. They med the situation on the R&D department''s subpar performance in


    conducting research.


    A youngdy in the PR department wasining to her colleagues. “The skincare industry itself is


    an industry that''ll easilye under fire. So, those from the R&D department are supposed to be more


    cautious. After causing so much trouble, they''re still staying in theb to conduct experiments and


    analyze data. Yet, we''re the ones who have to worry about how to settle the controversy. I honestly


    think this is a high-stress and low-paying job for us.”


    Just then, Rayna and Curtis arrived at the entrance of the PR department and coincidentally heard her


    utterances. The two of them exchanged nces.


    Rayna was about to enter the office, but Curtis held her back.


    Before she could ask him why he was stopping her, he said, “I''ll handle it.”


    With that, he stepped into the PR department. His handmade leather shoes created rather loud


    footsteps when he walked, attracting the gazes of everyone in the department.


    The female employee who wasining earlier turned around and saw Curtis standing behind her.


    As she looked behind him and spotted Rayna, who had a dark expression, her heart sank. “Oh no...”


    “Looks like you all have a strong opinion on the crisis faced by thepany this time, huh?” With his


    hands in his pockets, Curtis swept an icy gaze across everyone in the department.


    Rayna voiced, “At this juncture, you are supposed to be thinking of solutions to resolve this crisis


    instead ofining.” She then walked over to stand beside Curtis and held his arm.
