Actually, their expected compensation price was only 600 thousand dollars. After all, this kind of thing had to be negotiated!
Seeing Joanna’s unyielding attitude, the man could not hold on any longer. “Alright then! I’ll go back and talk to the boy’s parents!”
Joanna pursed slightly and said thoughtfully, “I’m going abroad in the afternoon. I might not be back for many days!
“You’d better answer by two in the afternoon!”
“Alright! We will try our best!”
With that, the man hurried out of the office.
They watched silently for the man to leave.
Cora and Mr. Brycen could not help but say, “Miss Haynes, isn’t compensating 400 thousand dollars too much?”
“They’re clearly blackmailing us. We can’t spoil them like this!”
“That’s right. Even if we really go through the judicial process, we won’t need to compensate so much!”
Joanna took a deep breath. “It is to pay respect to the deceased! After all, he is dead. It’s only right to compensate a little more out of humanitarianism.”
The negotiation was quick.
It took less than an hour.
Soon, the man returned.
“Erm…I’ve already discussed it with the boy’s parents. 400 thousand dollars it is!
“But we want cash!”
‘Deal!
“I’ll get the finance department to go to the bank to withdraw the money. You guys can sign a receipt and a guarantee letter!”
“Sure!” The man’s eyes were bright and filled with joy.
After getting the 400 thousand dollars, he and the victim’s family could each get 200 thousand dollars! Such a good way to get rich was faster than robbing. Of course, he was happy.
“Hurry up and ask those people outside to leave!”
“Alright!”
It only took minutes.
All the troublemakers gathered at the entrance of the factory had left!
The paints and rubbish were also taken away.
Michael patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief. “Miss Haynes, you’re amazing. You settled the matter with 400 thousand
dollars!
“Before you came, they insisted on 1.2 million dollars!”
Joanna was not in the mood to say too much. “Since the matter has been resolved, hurry up and clean up. Prepare to resume
work!”
“Roger!”
“Let’s take a look at the warehouse!”
“Alright!”
They headed to the warehouse.
Joanna, Cora, and the others arrived at the warehouse.
The huge warehouse was filled with accumulated home appliances.
Among them, there were the most backlogs of rice cookers and smart cleaning robots.
“How many orders are there this month?”
“I only signed a dozen or so contracts!”
#
These are the stocks. Some time ago, the Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group returned the order! Although a portion of the goods were sold, there’s still a huge amount of stock!”
When Joanna heard this, she sighed. “I understand!”
The employee casualties had been successfully resolved.
However, Joanna was still a little depressed!
Looking at the inventory occupying several large warehouses, she really could not be happy.
It was already the end of the year. The total cost of these goods alone was more than 16 million dollars!
This did not include the cost of electricity, water, rent, labor, and so on!
If one could not deal with it, they would not even be able to pay their employees.
In the past, when she was a marketing manager, she could get orders everywhere!
But now, she was the president of the entire company! She still had too many things to settle and did
not have the energy to run around.
In particular, she was about to go against Bruce for custody of the child.
Joanna was inspecting the warehouse.
Buzz! Buzz! Buz! The phone in her pocket vibrated.
She took out her phone and looked at it…
The call was from Jaydon.
In the past two days, Jaydon had called her a lot!
Unfortunately, her phone had always been in Bruce’s hands! Today, she was busy coming out of the
factory and had not had
the time to call him back.
“Hey, Jay!”
“Joann, why aren’t you answering your phone…” Jaydon’s deep voice came from the other end of the
phone.
Joanna took a deep breath. “Jay, where are you now?”
“I’m abroad now!”
“Oli!”
Jaydon paused for two seconds. “Joann, are you alright now?”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me!” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“I’m sorry…
Joanna smiled awkwardly. “Why are you apologizing to me?”
Jaydon sighed and wanted to say something but hesitated.
He had never expected things to turn out this way!
What was even more unexpected was that because of him, Joanna was innocently implicated.
The Greyport media thought that they were lovers. Now that something like this happened to him, the
entertainment reporters would use her as a publicity attraction!
Joanna could hear the frustration in Jaydon’s tone and did not know how to comfort him!
She only said with concern, “Calm down for a while. Don’t go back to Greyport for now!
“You can come back and deal with it slowly after the storm is over!”
“Can you handle it alone? I’m worried about you!”
Joanna smiled. “It’s okay. I can handle it. Don’t worry!”
“Michael said that something happened at the factory?”
“Yes, don’t worry. It’s been successfully resolved!”
When Jaydon heard this, he felt even more upset. Such a big thing had happened to the factory, but he
had thrown the mess to Joanna.
“Joann, are you… angry?”
“Why would I? You’re good friends! You’ve helped me so much. I can’t thank you enough. Why would I
be angry with you?”
Jaydon’s voice was gentler. “Are you really not angry?”
“Jay, you’re thinking too much! I won’t be angry.”
When Jaydon heard this, he felt a little disappointed!
Yes! Why would she be angry?
She had never loved him!
Therefore, even if his private photos with another woman were leaked, she would still be indifferent!
“That’s fine. I’ll hang up first!”
“Jay, don’t feel too much pressure when you’re overseas! Just treat it as a vacation. At most, you can
start all over again!”
Joanna knew how it felt to be abused online. She was also afraid that Jaydon would not be able to
withstand the pressure and
become depressed.
Jaydon smiled. “You don’t have to worry about me. I won’t break down that easily!”
“Take care of yourself while I’m away!”
“Yes, I know! You, too, take care of yourself!”
“That’s all. I’m hanging up now!”
“Okay. Call me if anything happens!”
“Alright!”
After Joanna hung up, she was still a little depressed!
She did not want to face the entertainment reporters in Greyport these few days. They would write
anything to attract attention. It was too scary!
“Cora!”
“Miss Haynes, what’s the matter?”
“Get a private investigator. Help me find someone!”
“Who are you looking for?”
Joanna turned on her phone and sent a photo to Cora. “Go find Mrs. Maxwell!
I’ll send you some information about her later!”
“Okay!” Cora was Joanna’s right–hand man. She was quick and decisive!
After receiving the news, she immediately went to look for a private detective.
Joanna sat in the office with a gloomy expression!
She has to find this person called Mrs. Maxwell as soon as possible. Mrs. Maxwell was a nurse by
Grandfather’s side back then!”
Six years ago, she was also the one who brought Joanna to Bruce’s room!
Only by finding her could Joanna figure out what had happened back then and who had instructed her
to do this.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
There was a knock on the office door.
“Come in!”
Michael pushed open the door and walked in. He held a few large stacks of bills and said with a frown,
“Miss Haynes, we can’t keep squeezing these goods into the warehouse!”
“Why don’t we find a streamer to sell the goods? We’ll clean up these goods!”
“Get a streamer to sell goods?” Joanna was startled.
“That’s right. It is popular in Mossbourne! Some famous streamers can even sell goods as much as 200 million dollars daily!”
Joanna was shocked when she heard that.
She did not know much about the live broadcast industry and had never paid attention to this information.
Seeing Joanna’s interest, Michael quickly continued, “We have so much inventory. If we can find a good streamer, we might be able to sell them all in less than a day!”
“Isn’t it almost the end of the year? It’s the best time to shop!”
“Really?” Joanna was still in disbelief.
“That’s right!”
“Mossbourne’s e–commerce industry is very popular now. It’s much more popular than physical stores!”
“However, these famous streamers are also more difficult to work with!”
Joanna listened and asked with interest, “Which streamers in Mossbourne are more famous?”
“Oh, Mossbourne has many e–commerce platforms now. There are famous streamers on all platforms!”
“However, for household appliances like ours, finding a streamer with higher credibility is best!”
“Such as?”
“There’s a streamer called Brother Trumpet now. He’s very good at selling goods! There’s also LeroLife, which was also good!”
“Every live broadcast they did has at least a few hundred million transactions!”
As he spoke, Michael turned on his phone.
Coincidentally, today was Brother Trumpet’s live broadcast! Michael showed Joanna the live broadcast video.
Joanna took the phone and looked at it for a while. She was overjoyed.
“We can give it a try!”
“Contact them immediately!”
“Alright, Miss Haynes!”

A large Greyport company like the Haynes Group did not have to worry about sales! Such a large brand was usually unwilling to find a streamer to sell goods!
However, it might be a good way to keep up with the development of society!
It was a fresh morning.
Joanna called Michael early in the morning. “Michael, what did the live streamer you found respond?”
“Miss Haynes., Michael hesitated!
“What’s wrong? Didn’t the negotiation go well?”
“I’m afraid Brother Trumpet and LeroLife can’t take the job. We haven’t reached an agreement!”
“What is the reason?”
“Erm…”
“Hurry up and say it. Don’t be so hesitant!”
The person in charge of Brother Trumpet’d media company said that the Haynes Group doesn’t have a good reputation, and they don’t dare to cooperate!”
The person in charge at LeroLife’s side said that their schedules are full!”
When Joanna heard that, she fell silent!
She was practically a slit on the Internet now. Everyone could not wait to cut ties with her!
Although Greyport Media’s focus differed from Mossbourne’s, many people still paid attention to Joanna’s rumors.
These big streamers had finally gained the trust of a large number of fans. Naturally, they did not dare to take the risk of ticking the drop of their fans!
“I got it!”
After Joanna hung up, she calmly thought about it!
She decided to look for Brother Trumpet herself.
Especially now that Jaydon was not around, she had to clear the backlog of goods as soon as possible!
“Miss Haynes, do you really plan to go to Greene Town personally?”
“Yes!”
“I heard that Brother Trumpet has a bad temper. Since he has rejected it, let’s find another streamer to work with!”
“It doesn’t matter. Let’s give it a try!”
