Josiah didn’t mince words with her either, “All right, as an exchange for teaching you, let’s have our late-night snack first.”
This condition was rather unique.
Lysander took the thermal jar and opened it. Immediately, she was greeted by the enticing aroma of chicken soup. To her surprise, it contained a bowl of creamy chicken noodle soup.
“You go ahead and speak. I’ll eat after I’ve heard you out.”
Josiah slightly lifted his chin and said, “You can eat while you listen.”
Lysander delicately placed the bowl, which was wrapped in a heat-protective layer, onto the writing desk. Then, she took out the cutlery and tasted a mouthful.
After consuming the creamy chicken noodle soup, her previously tense stomach had significantly relaxed.
The desk cluttered with a computer and numerous files, was far from spacious. A large pile of documents were stacked on the side. Neatly stacked in a brown leather notebook, Josiah reached out to tidy it up, then saying, “We need to tackle things one step at a time. I believe your immediate priority should be resolving the issue with the competitive tendering.”
Lysander had too many things on her bowl as she expressed her worries. “Right now, Thorne Constructions and Energies is tangled in administrative red tape and there is a backlog with understanding any room from new clients. If this continues, once Howard’s unique roughly fixed. I will work for longer hours, which when our work burdened becomes evident that. Today, Mr. Cobb and the higher administration have emphasized the importance of alleviating today after lunch how quickly they have handled the matter would happen.They are too can feel like handling the problems aren’t hard, yet none of them were willing to make changes. I’m truly at lost for words.”
Josiah looked through the reports and a frown appeared, saying, “They were also saying one thing and doing another when I took over Thorne Constructions five years ago. They are of similar traits.”
Initially, Lysander thought he hadn’t noticed, so she asked, “So, it’s not the first time? Though you’re laying both sides out, you’re deliberately letting them be. Why is that?”
“The corporate environment tends to change as people who are required in the hospital before. Their interests are not as aligned as they appear to be. The best strategy isn’t to let them keep each other in check,” Josiah said in a casual tone.
In a flash, Lysander paused writing and asked, “Are you who created the cultural competition within the board of directors?”
“If you’re content with the status quo, you could let them be. Competition breeds motivation, so they’ll find a way to prepare their reports.” The man in response said, “It led you to this work where the cultural competition is solved by both parties, take the best of each, and others to wait beside for a time arranged in meetings.”
He grimly added, “The board, I could only do the best of my ability,” Lysander stated.
Her pride no longer elicited a response.
A glint of admiration flashed in Josiah’s eyes. After discussing with her the intricate relationships within

The frontline staff of Thorne Constructions and Energies were the backbone of the company’s operations. However, the treatment they receive varies greatly. The senior employees, who had once made significant contributions to the company, are all full-time staff. They have grown accustomed to a relaxed work pace, so it is difficult for them to regain their previous motivation. The imbalance between cost and benefit is evident.”
“Yes, I noticed it in today’s meeting too. The executives of the entire company tends to be on the older side.
“Indeed, Mr. Thorne is known for his integrity and his commitment to his employees. As such, he had no choice but to continue providing high salaries to them until their retirement. However, the majority of the work still relied on the new hires whose salaries and benefits are in line with the market rates. Your allocation in the proposal exposed your unfamiliarity with this issue.”

Lysander nodded, “No wonder they tread carefully around you for fear of getting on your bad side, yet they have no issues taking shots at me.”
“The fact that you understand this shows that the previous files were not read in vain,” Josiah said, expressing his satisfaction.
Lysander put down her bowl and once again picked up the mouse.
Josiah glanced at the half-finished bowl of creamy chicken noodle soup and asked, ”Have you decided what to do yet?”
Lysander was completely engrossed in the computer screen, her eyes shining with an astonishing brightness. “First, I’ll recheck all the data related to our budget reviews and the macroeconomic plan. Then, I can adjust the proposed teams. As for the other details, I feel confident to resolve those issues as needed.”
Throughout the night, the rhythmic tapping of keys on a keyboard, punctuated now and then by the rustling sound of pages being turned, was heard.
Lysander was so efficient that she took less than half the expected time to rectify the flawed plan provided by the planning department. Along with this, she also organized and labeled the materials prepared for the proposal.
Her gaze never left the screen for a moment as she said, “First, let’s reorganize the team, then have them reread the proposal. Making full preparation will not only delay one’s job but quicken the process.”
Ever so ignorant of how I wrote the battle plan, she previously sent Josiah glanced at the page she was reviewing and complimented, “You are a fast learner.”
He knew from the start that the most important aspect of leadership isn’t instantly getting rid of the obstacles, but managing those who are experts in various areas. Today, I’ve learned another new strategy, which is to let them balance each other out, complete work, and avoid direct disputes. Their focus should be on supporting each other instead of targeting me.”
A hint of admiration flickered inside Josiah’s eyes. “Yes, you’re absolutely right.”
Lysander turned her head, intending to ask him if he had any experience in competitive tendering. But before she could voice her

She had no idea when Josiah had taken her leftover supper.
Lysander’s eyes widened when she saw him leisurely sipping the soup that she had left unfinished.
Josiah looked over and asked, “Do you have any other questions?”

“No. Since you’re also hungry, why didn’t you bring back two portions of late-night snacks when you returned?” Lysander replied with a complex expression.
Josiah maintained his usual composure, holding the bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other. He ladled the soup with an ease that was pleasing to the eye, a gesture so ordinary yet performed with such grace. It was only after he sat down the bowl that he said in a light and indifferent voice, “I wasn’t really hungry initially, but seeing you enjoy your meal so much made me think that the soup must be quite good. It would be a shame to let it go cold and wasted, so I might as well finish it. Are you still hungry? Do more?”
Josiah then looked up and met Lysander’s gaze.
Lysander shook her head and said, “No, I’m full.”
“I’ll finish this, then.”
As he spoke, Josiah tilted his head back, finishing off the remaining half bowl of soup she had left.
“Josiah.”
