Stella laughed and replied: [He felt guilty for roping you in, so he offered you a high price.]
Felicity replied: (Back then, I thought I was too principled to bow for a good sum. But now, looking back,
being locked up for two hours for a hundred thousand seems worth it. You have no idea how hard it is
to earn money these days! Short dramas have become a big hit recently, and I've been working on
those.]
She continued: [We don’t use famous actors and film within 3-5 days, using scripts from online
crowdsourcing. With quick turnaround and low budgets, usually 20,000 to 30,000, we can make huge
profits, even more, if a project goes viral. It's a highly profitable model, so many in our industry are
doing it. I've been assigned to oversee these projects, but sorting through the overly dramatic scripts
every day is overwhelming.]
Since her pregnancy, Stella had not been watching many short videos, so she was quite out of the loop
about this trend. She asked Felicity what these short dramas were like.
Felicity then sent her a link. After browsing for a while, Stella had an idea and quickly typed: [Can you
help me write a script?]
Felicity replied: [Huh?]
Stella typed: [I'll see you after work. We can talk about it then.]
She thought explaining over text was too slow as she could not convey her sudden thoughts properly.
She wanted Felicity to turn the events surrounding the Saun family from years ago into a short drama.
She would pay to promote it.
Stella had also considered if Darcie had an accomplice, a story close to the truth blowing up online
could force them to slip up.
Felicity responded: [Okay. Then, head straight to Clouditude International after work. We’ll meet at the
stinky Cucumber's office.]
Shortly after Stella put down her phone, there was a knock on her office door. She said, “Come in."
Julia heard Stella's response and gently pushed the door open. "Ms. Hall, do you have a minute?"
To prevent the Perfume Blending Department staff from harboring any disloyal thoughts, as well as to
safeguard the formula from leaking and maintain the core team's competitiveness, Darcie divided the
department into units A and B, each further split into three teams. Both units were meant to work
together yet also compete against each other.
The core formula of Caline's products was stored in a computer in a secure room on the top floor,
protected by a dual password system.
Besides Darcie, who knew the full password, each of the two managers only knew their part of the
password, which was updated monthly.
Stealing the formula would require both managers to cooperate, an unlikely scenario given their
competitive relationship. Darcie's strategy was clever indeed.
Julia, from Unit A of the Perfume Blending Department, had been with the company for three years.
After the previous unit leader was transferred, she was the likely candidate for the position until Jaylene
was parachuted in.
As Stella pondered, she smiled and asked, "What's up?"
Julia replied, “Ms. Abbott asked me to take you on a tour of the Perfume Blending Department. Are you
available now?”
Stella nodded. "Sure, let's go."
Following Julia, they headed to the Perfume Blending Department. The department boasted a large
office space where, aside from mixing products in the fragrance room, the staff typically worked. Whennovelbin
Stella arrived, everyone was busy with their tasks.
Although Julia claimed it was a tour, it seemed more like she was just leading Stella around the
workspace without much of an introduction. It was almost as if she had brought her there on purpose.
Stella was wondering about this when a commotion arose at the entrance.
