“Reece””
The manager pondered carefully, seemingly unable to recall such a person. He said, “Ms. Sophle, our most popular star at the moment. is Conn. How about I arrange for Corin to meet you?”
Sophie watched the manager. Although she was smiling, her eyes didn’t carry a hint of mirth.
“You have half an hour to have Reece meet me” She left those words behind and went upstairs.
The manager gave a subtle signal to his subordinates and followed Sophie.
The employees downstairs looked at each other in confusion. Reece? Wasn’t he just a fresh graduate?
But since Sophie had spoken, they had no choice but to immediately contact Reece to come to the office.
Sophie glanced at the office decor, while the manager continued to flatter, “Ms. Sophie, this office was left by the previous CEO, and I had it redecorated just yesterday. Are you satisfied with it?”

“It’s not bad.” Sophie settled into the office chair.
The manager, still smiling obsequiously, said, “Ms. Sophie, Corin is the pillar of our company right now. Are you sure you don’t want to meet him?”

Sophie watched the manager with interest and asked, “It seems you have high hopes for Corin.”
“Corin brings in a significant revenue for the company each year. Of course, I favor him.”
“Last year, the resources in Corin’s hands were mostly funded by the company’s own money, yet his performance was hardly outstanding, nor did it bring much prestige or profit to the company. How much did Corin pay you to sing his praises so vehemently in front of me?”
Caught off guard by Sophie’s sharp words, the manager nervously swallowed and began to sweat, “Ms. Sophie, you misunderstand, I…”
“Whether it’s a misunderstanding can be clarified by checking the accounts.”
Hearing this, the manager tensed up again.
To promote Corin, they had indeed spent a considerable amount of the company’s money, but Corin still failed to break into the top tier, and the benefits he provided were not proportional to the resources spent.
