"As I said, this matter has nothing to do with him, and he doesn’t know that I came here today."Rosalie pushed past the discomfort in her heart and looked at the person in front of her as calmly as possible. "Mr. Lancer, your primary goal is to increase Lancer Corporation's profit share, correct? I can only say that a 50-50 profit split is out of the question for me. Why don't we both take a step back and think about it?”Xander sneered. "You’d better be true to your word, Miss Jacobs. I hope President Lawrence is completely unaware of today's matter, otherwise, if he suddenly appears in the middle of our discussion, then I don’t think there’s anything we can talk about anymore."Rosalie did not want to hear him say Byron's name again. "Mr. Lancer, what is the minimum share you are willing to accept?"Xander replied without hesitation, "I have already mentioned, even if Lancer Corporation doesn’t take the majority, we will share at least 50-50 with your research institute."Rosal
"Let’s take a step back, thirty-five percent for Lancer Corporation."Now that Xander was losing his temper, Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to lower Lancer Corporation’s share.Xander had already lost from the moment he named his price first.He looked miserable at this point, but he had to agree. "I’m impressed; Miss Jacobs really knows how to make a deal."Rosalie’s face was unchanging. "I’m only laying out the actual situation, besides, we will purchase the medicinal materials ourselves, so Lancer Corporation will not lose money."Xander sneered. "It seems that President Lawrence has taught you a lot during this time."Rosalie did not entertain that line, and added, "By the way, because the research institute and Lancer Corporation do not have a long-term agreement, this profit sharing is limited to this specific drug. If there is another partnership in the future, we can talk about it separately."From her statement, Xander could not control his expression,
Of course, Rosalie did her research before setting the price.Though, because of this, she was more aware of how much pressure the patients were under.Special medicines were so expensive that many people could not afford them, leaving them to die in vain.She did not want to see such a tragedy happen again."My prices are indeed low, but as I previously stated, I will pay for Lancer medicinal materials. The process would mature, and the cost would be greatly reduced in the later stages of medicine production. Patients can afford them at this price, so there will always be a demand for the medicine. Lancer Corporation will not lose money in this manner but will simply earn slightly less." Rosalie spoke with confidence.But Xander looked at her like a joke. "Why would patients trust you at such a low price? Who would dare buy such a low-priced special medicine?"Rosalie pursed her lips, a determined expression on her face. "Someone will buy it, and if one person buys it and discov
Rosalie sat in the tearoom for a while before leaving for the research facility.The result of this negotiation was somewhat beyond her expectations.Initially, she thought that no matter how much Xander valued profit, as the heir of the Lancer legacy, he would also prioritize the patient's life and be able to accept a small profit-high turnover sales strategy.She never expected Xander to be so dissatisfied with the price that he did not even give her a chance to negotiate..."Dr. Jacobs, what's the outcome? When will the Lancers resume the supply of medicinal materials?" Linda came to her as soon as she entered the institute.Rosalie forced a smile helplessly. "I don't have a clue for now. Please try to delay the registration process as much as possible. Regarding the factory... If they can't wait, please pay them a little extra for now."Linda had worked for her for so many years. She knew that Rosalie was in a tough spot just by looking at her expression."I understand, I wi
She could not find a suitable medicine supplier that satisfied her despite making phone calls all day.Rosalie was frustrated and disappointed.She exhausted her contacts and called almost every vendor who had cooperated with the research institute.If she could not find a suitable partner, she might have to turn back to Xander.That would put the research institute in a passive position...The day had turned dark, and she still could not find a way out. Then, Byron called.Rosalie adjusted her mood and picked it up."Are you off work?" On the other end, Byron's voice was full of concern.His voice put Rosalie in a soft and aggrieved mood, but she did not want to show it, so she forced a chuckle."Not yet, but I don’t have much else to do for the day. I can leave work anytime, what's the matter?""Then I'll go pick you up, and we'll pick up the kids from school together," Byron said, picking up on the oddness in her tone.Rosalie unconsciously relaxed a little now that he wa
When Byron's car stopped at the gate of the kindergarten, the kindergarten had just finished school.The two got out of the car and stood at the door waiting.All the eyes of the parents gathered around fell on their faces."Isn't this President Lawrence and...? I never expected her to be President Lawrence's ex-wife...""What ex-wife? Aren’t they getting back together soon? Better watch your words next time!""I always thought that Lucian's mother carried herself well. Looks like she’s a good match with President Lawrence!"“......”There were murmurs of gossip around them.Rosalie stood uncomfortably behind Byron, aware of the stares around her. She lowered her gaze, attempting to avoid those people's stares as much as possible.Byron reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her tightly in his arms in front of everyone, as if aware of her actions.He seemed to be making a declaration to everyone present.Rosalie could not help but turn red and struggle as
Rosalie felt strange. It was the first time that the little ones called Daddy and Mommy in front of so many people. This was equivalent to revealing to the kindergarten teachers and parents that she and Byron are a family.Regardless of whether they remarried or not, in the eyes of these people, she was already a member of the Lawrence family.Before Rosalie could adjust her mood, the three little ones rushed out of the queue and hugged their legs affectionately."Daddy, Mommy, why did you come here together today?" Nox loved calling his parents out loud, he took every chance to do so.Rosalie turned her head and took a look at Byron.The man replied easily. "Daddy left work early, and it just so happens that your mommy doesn't have to work overtime, so we came to pick you up together. Why, don’t you like that?""We love it!" The three little guys spoke in unison.Then, Little Estie asked them in her sweet naive tone, "Can Mommy and Daddy pick us up every day from now on?"Ro
Rosalie meant what she said.Byron became a little curious and wondered how powerful their computer skills were.Meanwhile, upstairs in the little ones' bedrooms."Brother, don't you want Daddy to teach you?" Estie looked at Lucian and Nox curiously.The two little boys had nothing to hide from their sister and nodded frankly.Estie felt more and more puzzled. "Don't you boys like computers? Daddy is amazing! If he taught you in person, you both will definitely be great hackers in the future!"Daddy had previously taught her, but due to her condition, it became difficult for her to concentrate, so the lessons were cut short halfway through.Otherwise, she would have been a very powerful hacker by now!That's what Daddy told her.Lucian and Nox looked at each other and moved closer to her ear."We’ll tell you, in fact, we are already very good now. We just don't want to learn from scratch."Hearing this, Estie's face was full of disbelief.'I have Daddy teaching me, so I am
