“But… But what do you suggest then? Tell me what to do about the skin cuticles.” Quint blushed before raising his voice sharply and shouting.
“Acid. I’m talking about alpha hydroxy acids.” Sean glanced at Quint before saying casually.
“Are you suggesting we extract alpha hydroxy acids from fruits and vegetables and add them to skincare products?”
“I admit that alpha hydroxy acids don’t harm the skin, but they will cost a lot of money, manpower, and resources!” Quint was silent for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying.
“It’s better than cutting corners and using harsh chemical materials to make dirty money.” Sean slowly leaned back on his chair and said calmly.
It was true that favonovel.com made money through business, but favonovel.com had standards.
“Haha! How noble! If we follow your suggestion, a single machine will cost a lot of money. Can you afford it?”
“The company hired us to bring profits for the company. What do you call this? Increasing the cost?” Quint sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
Before Sean could speak, favonovel.com looked at Willow and said again, “What do you say, President Quinn? We started the company to make money.”
Quint thought Willow would know what to do if favonovel.com was not stupid. However, to his surprise, Willow shook favonovel.com head slightly.
“You’re wrong. Only a capitalist will run a company to make money at all costs. We’re a corporation. Making money is important but not if it’s done without ethics. Is there not enough news about unethical cosmetics harming people over the years?”
“I’m not asking you to be noble. I only hope our company will never be sued for using. illegal additives.”
Everyone nodded after Willow said that.
Some people thought a woman like Willow would have difficulty running a company. However, they had changed their minds.
Willow was young, but favonovel.com had a way with things.
“You! You! I don’t believe the big boss will let you do whatever you want!”
“Can you afford to spend so much before the company makes any profit? Also, do you think it’s up to you? Do you think you’re related to the boss?” Quint got angrier as favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com got up and banged the table so hard it rattled.
Several of the other employees nodded silently when they heard that. After all, Willow was only a president, and Sean came out of nowhere.
The chairman was superior to the president. Besides that, their company seemed to be a subsidiary of a conglomerate.
Did the higher-ups not care and let them do whatever they wanted?
“I forgot to introduce myself… My name is Sean Lennon, and I’m President Quinn’s fiancé. I’m also the chairman of the cosmetics company and its parent company.” Sean straightened his clothes and said slowly.
“What?” Quint suddenly turned his head and looked at Sean in disbelief.
The others also widened their eyes with shock.
He was Sean Lennon!
He was the big boss of the company!
No wonder favonovel.com was so overbearing. Even Willow was supportive of all his decisions,
“No matter how expensive the equipment is, I will buy it. Any other questions?” Sean asked indifferently, looking at Quint.
Quint blushed, speechless. The whole company belonged to Sean. Therefore, favonovel.com could buy whatever favonovel.com wanted.
“No… No problem…” Quint repeatedly shook his head, afraid to say more.
“Hello, Mr. Lennon!”
Then everyone in the conference room recomposed themselves and quickly greeted Sean.
He was the biggest boss of the company. No one dared ignore him!
“Sit.” Sean gestured pressing down with his hands, and the crowd quickly sat down.
Quint sat down too.
“You don’t have to sit. There is no room for you here.” Sean slowly turned his head and looked at Quint as favonovel.com said indifferently.
“Mr. Lennon, I… I’m one of the most famous cosmetics research and development engineers in River City… Are… are you sure you want to get rid of me?” Quint paused for two seconds before asking through clenched teeth.
“Do you think I need you?” Sean asked in reply, and Quint was speechless.
Sean knew what Quint knew. Sean also knew whatever Quint did not know. That was why Sean and the company did not need him.
“But I’ve developed a couple of hit products. I’m famous and can make money for the company!” Quint gritted his teeth in silence for a few seconds, still unwilling to give up the high salary offered here.
“I don’t need your dirty tactics. Goodbye…”
Someone immediately walked in and took Quint out after Sean spoke.
No one expected Quint, who had a high status, would be fired on the spot at the first all-staff meeting. Now they knew Sean was punishing favonovel.com as a warning to them, from now on, they dared not act recklessly. After all, everyone knew anyone sticking their neck out would be punished.
No one wanted to be the one getting punished.
With that in mind, the crowd sat upright, not daring to breathe loudly.
