Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 789 Choose Your Enemy

In the president’s office at Smith Co., Johnny knocked on the door and walked in, placing a document onto the table in front of Alexander. “Sir, there’s a new mineral discovered in South Africa. Would you like to go and have a look?”

Alexander leaned backward and looked up at the ceiling, shrugging. “It’s meaningless.”

Johnny was confused. “I don’t understand what you mean.”

Alexander sat upright and explained earnestly, “There’s no end to earning money. I feel like we shouldn’t be in such haste to earn a profit all the time. Perhaps we should slow down and look around us to see what legacies we’ve left for the world.”

“Sir, Smith Co. has branches in over 140 cities in the country. We’re involved in all sorts of industries, and the economic benefits we’ve produced put us at the top of the country. We’re leaving behind legacies of progress, the horn of development. It’s—”

“Stop.” Alexander raised a hand to cut him off. “I’m not asking you to give me a report of our work. What I mean is, we can invest in some cultural industries.”

Sensing something out of the ordinary, Johnny narrowed his eyes. “For example?”

“I think online literature is interesting,” Alexander stated.

“Is online literature even considered a cultural industry?” Johnny was doubtful. How much can we earn from child’s play like that?

“Look at you. Your thinking is so shallow. No culture is better than the other, and we can’t discriminate here. So why don’t we work on different aspects together? You’ll deal with the mineral, and I’ll test the waters on our side.”

With that, Alexander flopped back to his computer, staring intently at the screen. On the screen was a page for ‘Rebirth: Identity Exposed’.
