    Chapter 2040 | Am Foolish


    Meanwhile, at the manager''s office, Orchid was deep in thought. Suddenly, she thought of some crucial details, panicking.


    The woman immediately got her subordinates to delve into the research institute''s patented forms. In the end, the result came


    back. There were only four patented forms left.


    Moreover, these four patented forms had been given to authorized patent agents, a way Roxanne had used to earn enough


    cash flow.


    “D*mn it! This means | got myself a pretty much useless research institute!” A furious Orchid scolded her subordinates loudly.


    “What a bunch of losers!”


    IVe should have gotten our hands on the patented forms right away! Now it''s all gone!


    These so-called high-level management teams were simply a group of losers to her now.


    She trembled angrily while her subordinates remained silent, not daring to talk back.


    At that precise moment, Colby knocked on the door.


    The door was actually ajar. He had witnessed everything that went down in the room because he stood outside, unwilling to


    interrupt, for he wanted to see more of their despair.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    But then, he decided to get things done. Colby walked over to Orchid respectfully, “Ms. Downey, this is the resignation letter of


    the research institute''s person-in-charge, Ms. Jarvis, and here''s my resignation letter. I''m honored to work with GK Group before


    this. However, due to some health concerns, | can no longer workpetently in my position, so | hope you will approve my


    resignation!” Colby announced his high-sounding justification for leaving thepany.


    Orchid''s gaze shifted to the two resignation letters, gritting her teeth. She was so angered that her heart thumped wildly.


    “Very well. | approved your resignation!” She peered at Colby with disgust, waving her hands to dismiss him.


    Colby was not ignorant enough to linger. He put thepany seal in front of Orchid before leaving.


    “Roxanne, you''re quite something! It looks like | was foolish enough to believe you!”


    Colby closed the door as he stepped out of the room. Unfortunately, Orchid''s raging, thunderous words boomed through the door


    that one could even hear her from far away.


    It was dusk when the newly-resigned Colby arrived at the Flora Verba Group CEO''s office to apply for his new job.


    During that period, James listened to Colby recounting everything that went down earlier. He couldn''t help but cheer for


    Roxanne''s tactic of pulling the rug from underneath Orchid and attacking her where she least expected.


    “That''s why | can only work for you from today onward. Please take good care of me, Mr. Lann!”


    Colby returned to Flora Verba Group first to prepare for the reopening of the research institute by thepany. That way, when


    Peregrine showed up for work with the rest of the technical personnel, they would have a familiar face to turn to.


    “Please don''t be so courteous with me, Colby. You''re an exceptionally talented man with excellent technical skills and fantastic


    business operation ability! | would have given you this position even if | didn''t owe Roxanne anything, to begin with!” James said


    seriously. After all, he had a family business to inherit.


    “Tl follow your arrangements, Mr. Lann.” Colby smiled.


    “Okay. Here''s the deal. You are the vice president of Flora Verba Group from today onward! You will need to help me out, okay?


    Don''t just focus on the matters rted to the research institute only!” Thrilled, James took the chance to share his burden with


    Colby.


    His announcement took Colby by surprise. Colby had never expected himself to be given such a high position. He thought he


    would only be a supervisor after creating the research department.


    “Hmm... Mr. Lann, do you want to think this through? Or maybe you should inform Ms. Jarvis first?” Colby was ttered beyond


    words.


    James shook his head, waving his hands dismissively. “Even though she is the chairman, | have the right to decide. It''s a yes


    from me, so don''t refuse anymore, okay? Flora Verba Group will have our independent research institute soon. Once the news


    gets released, ourpany shares will go off the charts!”
