Chapter 200
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
It would be okay is MN Inc, did not care about this matter. If MN Inc. wanted to sue Lily for divulging trade secrets, so be it. Considering Nathanielâs petty personality, it would be a wonder if he ignored this matter.
âDonât worry. I dared to do this because I already had countermeasures at liand. MN Inc. will not use this to blackmail you anymore. Just come work here.â Lily patted Oliviaâs hand gently to comfort her.
Lily did not seem like she was saying that just comforted her as her bright eyes were full of confidence.
âLily, donât tell me you made some deals or promises with that i*rk, Nathaniel?â Olivia asked after some thought. In Oliviaâs opinion, Lily had made a deal or some sort of compromise to smoothly settle this matter. Nathaniel was not a generous person, after all. âThatâs right. Donât tell me you made a deal in secret. Please donât be foolish. You have a bright future ahead of you.â Jenny shared the saine concern with Olivia. Lily happily laughed when she felt Jenny and Oliviaâs concern. âBoth of you made it sound like Iâm about to do something big. It isnât as serious as you think. We did have something similar to a deal, but Iâm not the one who needs to compromise. Donât worry.â
âReally?â
The duo was very suspicious of her words. They feared that she was lying to comfort them. âOf course!
In a few days, MN Inc. will withdraw the contract. So, you canât rest anymore since you need to start working for me soon,â Lily said as she patted Oliviaâs shoulder. âIâm looking forward to it!â Olivia felt relieved and nodded in reply.
The atmosphere at MN Inc.âs shareholder meeting was very depressing. Nathaniel wanted to undo his tie but only loosen it as it was inappropriate.
âMr. Hall, donât you think you need to explain to all the shareholders about the perfume formula leaks?â
One of the major shareholders asked in a cold and questioning tone.
Nathaniel remained calm as he had thought of a countermeasure on this matter. He spread his arms to liis side as he replied unhurriedly and without hinting guilt. âI am sure all of you have seen the companyâs official statement. Currently, public opinion is still siding with our company. We are still maintaining a good reputation and public opinion. Concerning this matter, the pros far outweigh the cons. I donât think I need to explain anything.â âThe formula leak will cause a direct monetary loss. Who knows how many other companies can imitate our product now?! Have you ever thought of the effect on our marketing? How dare you still say the pros outweigh the cons? Why donât you tell me who will be the one bearing these losses?!â
All shareholders cared about was their personal interests. They could no longer ignore the matter when it was apparent they would lose money. However, Nathaniel remained calm when faced with accusations. Ile leaned forward and crossed his arms on the table.
âMr. Hayes, donât be so agitated. Let me explain to you slowly about the financial loss. The leaked perfume formulas are from our mature products, which have been on sale for a long time. Indeed, their sales volume consists of considerable amounts.
âIn addition, the consumers liked them, and the perfumes had an excellent market response. Still, I want to remind everyone that these are old products and liave lost their novelty.â
