In light of this, the Innova Group had established its after-sales service department. Within the original team, many had ascended to management positions, enjoying elevated salaries. Ambition wasn't their primary drive—rather, they sought compensation equivalent to their skills, reflecting their true value.At the same time, Innova Tech undertook installing and debugging the Innova Group's equipment. While the marketing department spearheaded exploration into overseas markets, both Innova Tech and the after-sales department played equally vital roles. Maintaining the existing structure would facilitate the Innova Group's expansion into overseas markets.Sylvia found herself occupied to the point where morning affections with Eric took a backseat. Her determination was fixed on making the Innova Group a powerhouse, challenging the monopoly of the top three international giants.Entrepreneurship was arduous, but sustaining success proved even more challenging.Undeniably, the Inno

After a brief moment of reflection, Sylvia suggested, "Respond to them and confirm the location. Instruct them to arrive promptly after work in the afternoon."With the venue settled, the Innova Group naturally opted for a high-end and classy setting.As it was time to leave work, Eric asked, "Are you certain you don't want either Andy or me to accompany you?"Sylvia smiled. "I can handle my liquor. Besides, it's just a few people from the local government. Also, I feel that having you accompany them would be giving them too much respect."Eric understood her perspective and wondered if Sylvia had dealt with them before.-After escorting Sylvia and her assistant downstairs, Eric waited in the car.Several stout and smiling men were already seated in the private room."Ms. Williams, Ms. Harper, please take a seat!"They stood up, projecting a host-like demeanor despite the location being chosen by the Innova Group. The dishes were exquisite, and the wine was top-notch.As Syl

Sylvia remained silent, steadily downing the ten glasses. However, after a moment, dizziness set in. Typically, these ten glasses would be a breeze for her, but she drank too hastily today. Her inherent beauty was already striking, and now, her rosy cheeks added an extra allure."Mr. House, I've had ten glasses of wine. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise now?" she asked.Frankie smiled faintly, gesturing to two companions who accompanied him."You've indeed finished my ten glasses, but you haven't finished theirs yet!" he pointed out.Sylvia's expression changed.Even Mell couldn't bear it and remarked, "Mr. House, this is a bit much. Why didn't you clarify before drinking?"Frankie shrugged. "You didn't ask..."Mell was annoyed.Frankie continued pouring the wine, saying, "Ms. Williams, you've had ten glasses. What's wrong with another ten? Considering the Innova Group's current revenue, these drinks could bring in more money. Doesn't Ms. Williams want that?""Mr. House, take

Leaving the restaurant, Mell assisted Sylvia into the passenger seat, and a strong smell of alcohol hit Eric's nose."How much did you drink? Is everything settled?" Eric asked.In his opinion, there was no reason not to settle things after drinking so much. Otherwise, why drink so much in the first place?Shaking her head, Sylvia mumbled, "Eric... I messed up."Confused, Eric looked at Mell sitting in the back.Mell explained the situation.After listening, Eric just smiled faintly. "You didn't mess up anything. It's just a minor issue."-Eric dropped off Mell at her home and then returned to the Rosewood Estate, carrying Sylvia into the room. Although she claimed to have messed up, Sylvia slept soundly without a care in the world.The next morning, she woke up feeling a bit dizzy.She vaguely remembered Mell helping her into the car the night before. Seeing the familiar surroundings, she sighed in relief but noticed the absence of Eric by her side.As she got up, Eric ent

When they reached Eric's office, news of the issue had already spread throughout the company.Andy and Eric set out to find Sylvia, both puzzled by the sudden appearance of tax authorities and the suggestion of suspending operations."There shouldn't be any problems with our finances!" Andy exclaimed. "Even if there are minor issues, it shouldn't lead to a suspension. What's going on? Is someone retaliating against us?"Eric replied, "It's a long story. But no matter what, we can't afford a suspension. Andy, let's check the finance department first. Sylvia, you wait here with Mell."They hurried to the finance department, where the manager was sweating with anxiety."Mr. Hall, what's going on?" Andy asked.The manager wiped his forehead and replied, "I don't know either. They're still investigating, but they mentioned the possibility of suspending operations!"Feeling outraged, Andy pressed on, "It's been almost a day since you started investigating. If you want us to suspend op

Irvin poured the wine and raised his glass. "Come, let's have a toast!"Eric and Sylvia joined in, raising their glasses and clinking them with Irvin.Eric was hesitant to dive into business matters immediately, so he decided to open with a lighter topic."Big Bro, how is the development between Keith and Valerie?" he asked.Irvin glanced sternly at Keith and sighed. "I'm so pissed whenever I talk about this. Once Valerie returned to Dortmund, he stopped contacting her!"Despite getting older, Keith still didn't have a girlfriend, a fact that naturally concerned Irvin. Sighing again, Irvin lifted his glass and continued. "Eric, since you're close to Roland. Could you help him put in a good word?""Don't worry. I will," Eric said with a reassuring smile.Although Keith and Valerie didn't harbor romantic feelings for each other, Eric believed that a deeper connection could develop between them over time, much like his own evolving relationship with Sylvia. They were initially dist

Irvin poured a glass of wine for Elijah, who promptly declined, "Irvin, I have to work overtime later, so I won't drink."Taking a sip of wine, Josh broached the topic directly. "Elijah, I heard that some of your departments are involved in activities that shouldn't see the light of day. Have you heard anything about it?"Upon hearing the phrase "activities that shouldn't see the light of day", Elijah's expression sank. It was likely more serious than covert activities since Josh had heard about it.Elijah felt awkward. "I'm sorry, Mr. Sonnex. I have no information about it. Can you tell me?"Josh gestured toward Eric and Sylvia. "I'm sure you're familiar with Sylvia. This man here is Eric, Henry's son-in-law and a good friend of mine."Elijah was taken aback and glanced at Eric a few more times.Josh continued. "Apart from that, Eric is also the founder and CIO of the Innova Group. Of course, these are nothing compared to his other identity, which is even more noteworthy!"Elij

Knowing the problem made it easier for Elijah, who also understood why Josh had called him there. If he couldn't handle this matter well, it could lead to serious consequences that might affect the future of Salt City."Don't worry, everyone. I promise I'll handle this, but I want to see how arrogant my subordinates have become," Elijah declared."Go ahead," Josh said nonchalantly.Initially wanting to leave, Elijah hesitated as Josh insisted he stay and have a few bites. Josh understood that being in such a position often meant missing out on meals.After a quick dinner, Elijah hurriedly left. Meanwhile, Irvin had the kitchen reheat the dishes and continued drinking with Eric.It was past 10:00 p.m. when Eric and Sylvia finally left the Sonnex manor.Starting the car, Sylvia remarked, "It's good to have connections in high places! If Grandpa Josh refused to step in, we might have faced more trouble."Eric smiled. "Considering this, I might as well accept Pierce's invitation to
