Chapter 851
Sylvia''s long hair fell loosely on her shoulders. Her delicate lips were slightly pursed, and her almond-
shaped face was entuated by long, thickshes that fluttered as she spoke. "You helped me today,
and I won''t forget it," she said.
Adriel couldn''t describe the emotions he felt at that moment. How could he refuse Sylvia when she
spoke like that? Besides, in his heart, Sylvia was no different from his daughter.
"Sylvia, we can use this invitation to solidify our rtionship. Is Franklin going too?"
"Yes, we''re going together." Sylvia nodded and took off her coat since the room was getting hot. She
wore a ck knit top underneath which hugged her curves perfectly. The ck color made her fair skin
look even more radiant.
"Then I''ll leave it to you, Adriel," Sylvia said with a smile on her lips while looking at him with an
expression of deep thoughtfulness in her eyes. "Your son has great power; if there''s an opportunity for
us to coborate, it would be beneficial."
Adriel raised his eyebrows as he looked at Sylvia''s perfect face and replied teasingly, "Sylvia, your
ability to think ten steps ahead is truly impressive."
"Compared to your son, I am nothing," replied Sylvia nonchntly.
Adriel chuckled before saying, "He may be reckless but even so he refuses toe back and take
over thepany."
Although Adriel tried hard not show any pride on his face, it still shone through ever so slightly.
"After everything is settled, please inform me," said Sylvia standing up gracefully, while picking up the
coat from the sofa elegantly as well. Every movement seemed effortless yet refined. "I''ll take my leave
now."
"Sylvia... wait..." Adriel quickly stopped her after hesitating for a moment and continued, "Actually, there
are some things I''d like to discuss with you..."
"Hmm?" asked Sylvia indifferently while giving him a quick nce.
Adriel looked embarrassed yet helpless before finally speaking after taking some time. "Mypany
performance has been declining recently... so I wanted your advice on how we can improve our sales
strategy..."
A faint smile appeared on Sylvia''s lips as she replied confidently, "Give me all your reports including
this quarter''s sales figures along with your marketing n... and then leave everything else up to me."
With that being said, she casually threw aside the coat once again without putting it back on, and sat
down behind Adriel''s desk, readying herself for work.
Adriel quickly called his subordinates upon hearing this, "Hurry up and bring me everything Sylvia just
mentioned."
The subordinate was confused and didn''t understand why the CEO was so impatient. However, he
didn''t dare to dy and immediately gathered the items before rushing into Adriel''s office with his
assistant.
"Sir, here are the things you wanted," he said.
"Hurry up and give them to Miss Andrews for her review," Adriel ordered in a deep voice. His tone also
carried a hint of urgency as if afraid that Sylvia might run away.
The subordinate was shocked as he stared at Sylvia sitting on the CEO''s chair.
How could she sit in the CEO''s position?
His eyes were almost popping out of his sockets. The CEO''s position wasn''t something anyone could
just sit on!
Could it be... Could she really be Jess?
So Jess himself had to review thepany''s financial statements?
This... This is too scary!
The manager stood there dazedly while Adriel red at him, "Why aren''t you leaving?"
What are you doing standing here like a statue?
The manager quickly turned around to leave but Sylvia stopped him, "You don''t have to go out. I have
some questions I want to discuss with you."
As she spoke, Sylvia pointed at the promotional n and said, "Why use this n? It has more
drawbacks than benefits..."
"The first reason for declining sales is that all first-time buyers have purchasedputers within one or
two years ago. They may not buy new ones anytime soon. We need to broaden our sales strategy by
targeting new buyer groups instead of relying solely on old customers for promotion and sales..."
The manager stared nkly at Sylvia''s opening-and-closing red lips...
This... sounds quite professional?
"What are you staring at?" frowned Sylvia. "Where are ourpany analysts? Are they just freeloaders
who don''t do anything? Don''t they understand such basic principles?"
"Well... no, they''ve mentioned it," replied the manager softly but several older managers thought what
they said was wrong so they rejected it directly.
That''s why we ended up in this situation now...
Adriel snorted," Why didn''t anyone report this issue back then so that I could make decisions?"
"But... didn''t you delegate all the power?" The manager was close to tears. Why did he have to discuss
such a tricky issue with the chairman and this young woman here?
Also, he couldn''t help but wonder if she was Jess.
"Okay, talking about that won''t help now. Let''s change our marketing n and target a different
consumer group." Sylvia flipped through some files. "As consumers umte more electronic
devices at home, their demand forputers will decrease. Online courses have be very popr
in recent years, so we can consider shifting our focus to producing more tablets or learning machines."
Although Crown Techs Group already had tablets and learning machines as sideline products, they had
never been produced or sold as main products.
"We''ve always focused on selling finishedputers andptops!" The manager looked surprised at
Sylvia''s decision made so easily.
He then turned to Adriel. "Sir..."
"Sylvia has good vision," Adriel nodded approvingly. "I''ve thought about this before but haven''t
discussed it with you yet. Do you think it''s also a good idea to increase production of tablets and
learning machines?"
Sylvia tapped her fingers lightly on the table while thinking aloud, "Yes, online courses are very popr
now, especially thosenguage-learning apps. Where there is demand, there are customers; using
mobile phones is certainly possible but phone screens are too small which can harm children''s
eyesight over time. We could develop an eye protection mode on the screen."
"Eye protection mode... that''s a great idea!" Adriel became more enthusiastic as he thought about it
further."We must develop this technology; we cannot ruin children''s eyesight!"
Do big shots make decisions so hastily?
Was everything decided so quickly?
The manager stared nkly at what just happened.
Then he was shocked again when Sylvia stood up once more; before she even reached the sofa Adriel
had taken his coat off first and handed it over to her, "Sylvia, aren''t you staying for a while longer?"
Adriel sounded inquisitive, "How about having lunch with us?"
Sylvia checked her watch,"No, thanks, I have something else."
"That''s fine. I''ll walk you out then."
And they walked out one after another.
The manager watched in shock as Adriel opened the door himself for Sylvia first before following them
outter.
"Damn! Did the chairman personally open the door for her?" He quickly followed, thinking that if even
the chairman was licking her boots, he had to as well.
So he hurriedly caught up to them at the elevator where Sylvia was still talking with Adriel. The
manager had already sprinted over and pressed the elevator button. "Miss Andrews, please."
How could they bother the chairman and Miss Andrews with such a small matter as pressing an
elevator button?
Both Sylvia and Adriel were speechless.
This guy moved too fast on his own agenda. What was he going to do now that it was done?
The elevator doors opened and Sylvia stepped in before speaking again, "Uncle Adriel, don''t forget
about my matter."
"Don''t worry, how can I not handle such a small thing? Wait for my good news," Adriel immediately
replied while waving at Sylvia. "Is me someone who can''t be trusted?"
Sylvia raised an eyebrow but didn''t say anything.
The elevator doors slowly closed and her stunning face disappeared from view in front of Adriel and the
manager.
The manager cautiously nced at Adriel''s face which had returned to its serious expression before
swallowing nervously. He wanted to ask but didn''t dare.
"A... a god?" The manager widened his mouth in shock; it could almost fit an egg inside it. "You mean...
she really is..."
Jess...
It really was Jess...
Wait a minute - Franklin? Wasn''t he Maskelyne Group''s CEO who always trended online?
Was this Mrs. Maskelyne whose real-life appearance looked much better than any edited photo?
She didn''t need editing – she looked better than any edited photo!
He felt dizzy... Content of Draм??ovels
Sylvia got out of the elevator directly onto her car.
Although she only went two ces this morning, she still felt tired.
Franklin was handling business affairs inside MI6, so Sylvia leaned her head against her seat, while
saying, "Let''s go back to MI6."
"Okay," Jasper responded before starting up their car.
MI6 wasn''t just big; it also had artificialkes along with winding corridors full of flowers gardens
etcetera.
All of their cleaning staff were currently clearing snow outside though.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"Everything will be done as I said."
The person on the other end of the phone nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, don''t worry. I''ll do it as
instructed."
Sylvia raised an eyebrow. "What? Are you hiding something from me?"
Franklin hung up and put his phone away before turning his eyes towards her.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
