Female Novel
Chapter 1603
During this period, Roberts Group proposed an acquisition to Eisen Company. Eisen Company hadtwo months to make their decision. Hendrix made a generous offer. Therefore, there would probablybe a drastic trend of share transfers in the industry soon.
When Rowane barged into the house, Hendrix was having a meal with me.
Her stilettos clicked loudly against the floor before we even saw her enter, in line with herflamboyant personality.
Rowane entered the living room and walked around. I was the first to notice her as I called out,"Miss Zanes, have you had dinner? Come and join us."
Hearing my voice, Rowane turned around. I found that she was not only out of breath but also hadan unpleasant expression on her face.
Rowane walked over and threw the documents in her hands in front of Hendrix, shouting in anger,"Mr. Roberts, why didn't you discuss this with us? Our Al development is already showing somepositive results. What's the meaning of you acquiring Eisen Company? Are you planning to firenovelbin
our Al team?"
Although it was not the first time I had witnessed Rowane's bad temper, I was still shocked. I couldtell that Rowane was really furious. I quickly comforted her in a reassuring manner. "Calm down.Let's sit down and have a talk."
Rowane was still really mad and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She had no intention ofmaking concessions.
Rowane didn't like me before. When Hendrix ignored her completely, sitting on the chair as hecarefully fed me soup, it enraged Rowane.
Hendrix really did care for me, but sometimes, he made me seem like a good-for-nothing, who onlyknew to seduce him and make him lose focus at work. I hurriedly pushed him away and gave him alook. Work was more important.
Only then did Hendrix slowly put down the bowl of soup in his hand and turn around with anindifferent expression on his face. "This is a decision made by the executives. You're just atechnician. Please know your place, Rowane."
Hendrix's words were a bit harsh, but his words were not unreasonable. Rowane was experiencedand skilled, but she was just a senior technician in Roberts Group. The decisions in businessdevelopment were indeed not part of her responsibilities.
She was just a technician, but she barged into her boss' house and questioned him with no mercy.Hendrix was being kind enough, I thought. If it had been someone else, Rowane would probably befired.
Rowane had always been very competitive, and she didn't intend to admit her mistakes. With anarrogant attitude, she questioned, "Yes, I'm just in charge of Al. But Mr. Roberts, in the past fewyears, the company invested hundreds of millions in Al development. The overseas companiesmade quite a profit because of this. That's why Roberts Group was in such a hurry to establish ourown Al department. My subordinates worked day and night. Now that the results of the first phaseare finally out, you're telling me that you're acquiring a robotics company in Denmiles? What aboutour team?"
I could understand Rowane. The company's budget was limited, and it wasn't a small amount ofmoney that was needed to acquire a company. Acquiring a new company would definitely reducethe budget for the Al department. Slowing down would be a small matter. Discouraging themembers of the Al team, however, would be a big deal. If they were not careful, the cost incurred forearlier developments would all be for no reason.
Rowane brought up the Al department of the company step by step. It was no wonder that heranger was so over the top.
