Chapter 69

Chapter 69:

This moment could only be described as historic.

Everyone was so touched that they shed tears of joy.

Madisyn treated her employees well, generously increasing everyone’s bonuses.

At that time, the staff of Natural Beauty came together as a solid team.

They collaborated seamlessly. The employees were happy, in stark contrast to the disheartened staff at Miggie Skincare.

Following Denali’s scandal, Miggie Skincare felt the repercussions. Moreover, many customers noted that Miggie Skincare’s products were inferior to Natural Beauty’s and were also more expensive.

Josie was utterly drained. As she walked past the research and development department and saw Michelle and others chatting, her expression soured.

“Are you still chatting during work hours?” Josie entered and remarked sarcastically. “Didn’t you say this formula was excellent? Why can’t our products compete with Natural Beauty’s?”

Michelle quickly responded, “Miss Reed, it’s just that Natural Beauty’s sales outperformed ours this time. I’m confident our products are superior.”

“Really? Then we should see some results. Why haven’t we seen any positive feedback?”

Josie suddenly put pressure on Michelle, saying, “I didn’t hire you out of charity. If there’s no significant progress in the next few days, you might as well pack up.”

Michelle and the others were taken aback.

After Josie left, someone murmured, “Is Miss Reed taking her frustrations out on us?”

“Why did Natural Beauty become so popular all of a sudden?” Michelle clenched her teeth.

Mina frowned, saying, “Was Miss Reed serious about firing us? If she does, we’ll only get our base salary, not even our bonuses.”

“What should we do?” Michelle was visibly anxious. “But we aren’t in sales.”

An idea struck Mina. “Susan went to the store to sell their products. We could do the same. It seems some people think we’re just dead weight here anyway.”

Michelle felt hopeless. She had to be a saleswoman?

She had never been pushed to sell products at Natural Beauty! But desperate times called for desperate measures.

Unfortunately, their efforts didn’t yield positive results.

Upon their return, they faced another round of harsh criticism from the director.

“Did you actually leave work to sell products during office hours? Have you lost your minds? I felt sorry for you because you left your jobs at Natural Beauty. But I didn’t realize you were this stupid. Don’t leave until you’ve completed all your tasks.”

Michelle and her group were all shocked, staring at the mountain of work before them.

How could they possibly finish all this work today? They had never had to stay late at Natural Beauty.

Suddenly, they found themselves longing for the days at Natural Beauty. If they hadn’t left, they would be receiving substantial bonuses this month without the need for overtime or enduring being scolded.

Mina looked around and could tell what everyone was thinking. “Let’s not dwell on the past. Although our sales haven’t been great lately, overall, Miggie Skincare’s sales are still better than Natural Beauty’s. We’ll get better.”

Meanwhile, over at the Chapman family’s entertainment company, a meeting was taking place.

“Miss Chapman, have you finished the documents yet?”

“Miss Chapman, how should we handle the fallout from Denali’s situation?”

Several managers bombarded Jenna with questions. Overwhelmed, she slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, “This is your job. Why are you asking me?”

The managers were stunned.

Jenna felt justified. “The company employs you because you’re supposed to figure out how to handle these issues. Don’t come to me with these questions anymore!”

“But Miss Chapman, you need to sign this.” One of the managers timidly extended a document.

Jenna gave it a brief glance. Truthfully, she didn’t understand any of it. Lukas used to manage all these matters. Damn, why hadn’t he come crawling back to her yet?

Jenna looked at the document and signed it without further review. After all, she assumed the managers had thoroughly vetted everything. Surely, there couldn’t be any issues.

The day went by, and Jenna had a relatively easy time. Though Denali’s situation was irritating, those were her own personal actions. If Jenna pinned the blame on Denali and then fired her, it wouldn’t significantly impact the company. Still, it was unfortunate to lose five million dollars.

As closing time approached, Jeffry arrived.

“Jenna!”

Seeing Jeffry’s grim expression, Jenna quickly stood up and inquired, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
