Since Max gave the heads–up, Rebecca walked right into the Executive Office of Quinn Group without a hitch. Winston brought over two cups of coffee and slipped out, leaving them alone to talk business.

“You’ve thought it through?” Max asked.

Rebecca nodded, “Yeah.”

Max pushed a document across the desk to her, skipping the small talk. “This is your assessment. Your mission: revive this company, get operations back on track, and bring in a profit of 3 million. Keep employee turnover at a normal level–don’t let anyone jump ship.”

Rebecca picked up the file and flipped through a few pages.

The company looked well–organized. Departments were simple, total staff not much more than a few dozen, and their main gig was building medical systems for big hospitals.

Rebecca thought to herself, ‘I’ve never dealt with this line of work before.

“Since you never went through any official family training, I’ll give you one last chance to walk away,” Max said, his gaze cold and distant as ever. “Head home now, and I’ll still wire you 10 million a year.”

“Can I hire people?” Rebecca asked.

Max’s lips parted slightly. “You can. The hiring guidelines are all in there.”

“So as long as the net profit hits 3 million, the task counts as done,” Rebecca said, snapping the file shut.

Max replied, “That’s right.”

Rebecca followed up, “And the day I hit the goal, you’ll sell me 20% of Quinn Group’s shares at their original price?”

Max answered, “Exactly.”

“Got it,” Rebecca said, already sketching out a plan in her mind. ‘Let’s see if he actually keeps his promise when the moment comes,‘ she thought.

Max had Winston see her out. As he watched Rebecca walk farther and farther away, for once his expression turned grave.
