Chapter 643


    Under normal circumstances, delivering 20,000 smartphones to Leopold within a week wouldn’t have


    been an issue.


    However, problems arose shortly after signing the contract with Leopold.


    Several factories under the Crawley Group were temporarily shut down for a week due to substandard


    quality control. They had to undergo aplete overhaul and pass the quality inspection before they


    could resume operations.


    Without the factories, it was impossible to produce 20,000 smartphones within a week.


    The solution was to seek external assistance.


    The main agenda of the meeting was to discuss potential strategies for outsourcing.


    The meeting didn’t conclude until midday. Then the staff returned to their work.


    Thssa and Betty went back to the secretarial department.


    As soon as Thssa sat down, Ethan strolled in, tossing a folder onto her desk. “You werete today.


    As a punishment, you can handle this tricky coboration. At 3 p.m., go to the Sinir group. If you


    can’t secure a deal, your monthly sry will be docked.”


    “Mr. Ethan, I…” Thssa began exining.


    Ethan nced at her, interrupting, “Do you have a problem?”


    Thssa gulped at the oppressive gaze and the inherent authority Ethanmanded as the boss. She


    shook her head and replied, “No.”


    “Good, don’t bete. 3 p.m.,” Ethan said and walked out of the secretary’s office.


    Sympathizing with Thssa’s predicament, Betty sent her an encouraging look, saying, “Hang in there.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    You can do it!”


    Everyone knew that the Sinir Group’s primary focus wasn’t electronics. They mainly dealt with


    everyday goods, real estate, and supermarkets.


    Electronics were the Sinir Group’s weak point.


    The fact that Ethan was turning to the Sinir Group for help, intending to coborate and produce


    20,000 smartphones within a week, was like trying to sell ab to a monk.


    Moreover, word on the street was that the Sinir Group’s CEO was icy and indifferent, making him


    difficult to work with.


    No wonder Ethan had said it was a tricky coboration.


    Thssa managed a weak smile, “Thanks, Betty.”


    At half past two, Thssa set off, and by ten to three, she had arrived at the Sinir Group’s


    headquarters.


    The receptionist greeted her warmly, “Thssa, it’s been a while.”


    Thssa nodded with a smile, “Yes, I’m working with a differentpany now and am here to discuss


    coboration. I have an appointment with Mr. Sinir at 3 p.m.”


    “Let me check Mr. Sinir’s schedule,” the receptionist said, turning to herputer.


    Thssa asked, puzzled, “Isn’t managing Mr. Sinir’s schedule usually the secretary’s job?”


    “Yes, but since you left, Mr. Sinir hasn’t hired a new secretary. I’ve had to handle basic secretarial


    duties, and the workload has nearly doubled. I’m exhausted. Ah, here it is. Crawley Electronics has an


    appointment with Mr. Sinir. So you are…”


    The receptionist peered at Thssa, seeking confirmation.


    Even though they were acquaintances, she had to follow protocol.


    Thssa quickly produced her work ID and said, “I’m Mr. Ethan’s secretary.”


    The receptionist nced at Thssa’s ID and said, “Alright, Mr. Sinir is in his office. You can head


    straight up.”


    Thssa paused in surprise.


    Lysander was actually in the office. His grandmother had just passed away. Shouldn’t he be at home


    tending to Sybil’s funeral?
