Rowan held considerable seniority within the company. Even Howard respected him when he was in charge.

that Lysander suddenly became his superior, it was no surprise that Rowan felt dissatisfied.

Lysander listened quietly as the discussion progressed, occasionally jotting down notes related to the project.

Rowan, feeling no need to be courteous, spoke confidently as if he were the highest authority in the company. At moments, his passion caused him to strike the table for emphasis.

“The financial report this month was truly abysmal. We couldn’t collect the payments for the goods, and sales have drastically decreased. I really don’t know what the sales department has been doing! And what about the legal department? Aren’t they supposed to handle uncollected final payments? Even though Mr. Guerra isn’t in charge of Thorne Constructions and Energies anymore, I am still around!”

Lysander glanced at the head of the marketing department seated in the middle of the conference table, who also held shares. He was quick to shift the blame defiantly, saying, “Who’s to blame for this? When Mr. Howard was around, this was the rule, and Mr. Guerra did not change it either.”

Tensions were running high among the top brass in the company, the air thick with conflict.

Lysander quickly recalled the materials she had reviewed and carefully considered her response. “The financial report you mentioned is from last month. Let’s focus on finding solutions for this month. onward.

“I wonder what your plan is, Ms. Thorne? It’s not easy to recover those final payments.”

“Let me thoroughly review the contract first, then I’ll discuss it with the legal department before making a decision.

Relying on his seniority, Rowan showed no respect to Lysander, and immediately shouted, “Wait? Until when? If the company’s cash flow is limited, are you prepared to cover these holes yourself?”

Lysander replied, “First, let us think about increasing revenue and cutting costs. This client has a large order, and we might continue to do business with them in the future. It is not wise to offend them too much. If they switch to our rival company, the loss will outweigh the gain.”

Another man with gold–rimmed glasses joined the conversation. “Ms. Thorne, increasing revenue and cutting costs may sound easy, but in the end, it is just empty talk. Do you have any brilliant ideas?”

Lysander matched him with the finance director’s name on the files and nodded. “I am new here, lacking experience and expertise. Mr. Barrera, if you have better ideas, please share them, and let us discu together.”

“Looks like you’ve done your homework before coming here.
