Chapter 164
The second day of work, Jojo got someone to make the transaction with Harold.
On his own end, Harold was very efficient. On the same day, he had the supplies delivered to Wellness
Herbary.
Jojo then ordered her workers to carry out a simple inspection. After the procedure, she immediately
got her staff to send the supplies to thepany that had ordered it from Julian Davis.
After assuring that everything was going ording to n, Jojo hurriedly called Norman and Pa to
her office to inform them about this deal.
“With a quick transaction, I earned thirty or forty million. Haha, Dad, Mom. I told you guys that I’m a
business genius!’’
Norman and Pa couldn’t hide their overjoyed smiles.
“My daughter is so capable! I told you guys a time long ago that the Cunningham family would be lucky
to have Jojo work here. Hmph, it’s only James who’s still unsatisfied. He acts as though we’ve cheated
him! This time, we will show him who is taking advantage of whom. I’m telling you, after earning so
much, we must make sure thepany grants us a bonus. A couple million should do it!”
The trio rambled on about getting a bonus from the Cunninghams’ pharmaceuticalpany. However,
before the work day was even out, Julian came barging into the office. “President Freeman, we have a
problem!”
Jojo was extremely surprised. “What are you panicking for?”
“What’s going on? Why are you causing a ruckus in the office?”
Julian took a deep breath and said, “President Freeman, there are some issues with the batch of
fritiria you bought today.”
“What kind of issue?”
Julian continued, “It’s a problem with the herb itself. It isn’t up to the standard for medicinal herbs.”
Jojo asked confusedly, “It doesn’t meet the standard quality? What kind of standard quality does it need
to meet then?’’
Julian was shocked by this. “President Freeman, of course there are standards for medicinal herbs. If
every herb with inferior quality is avable for sale, then the market would be ruined. If poor quality
herbs are used to make drugs, not only would the medicine not have any healing properties, it might
even be toxic.”
Jojo scratched her head, muttering, “I didn’t know there’s such a thing in the world! This batch of
fritiria isn’t up to scratch, but can it be used at all?”
Julian became very anxious. “It doesn’t reach the standard quality, so it definitely can’t be used! Not
being able to use it is one problem, but we have an even bigger issue to deal with. Any sales and
purchases concerning this batch of fritiria goes against thew!”
Jojo froze for a second. “You can’t be serious? All I did was buy some herbs! How can it be against the
Julian kept his face neutral. “President Freeman, it is critical to ensure the safety of our medicines. If
there is any issue with the herbs, the drugs made from them can potentially kill whoever consumes it.
That is why the quality control of this industry has always been very strict. If the authorities found out
that ourpany purchased such arge stock of this fritiria, they’ll shut us down! And we’ll have to
pay reparations to boot!”
“Huh?” Jojo’s eyes were as big as tes as she said, “Y-You’re pulling my leg, right? It’s just some
fritiria! It is not that big of an issue. We can ask for a refund and just return the herbs to the supplier!”
“President Freeman, if it was that simple, then it wouldn’t be an issue! The supplypany has no
intention of letting us return the goods. In fact, they want us to paypensation. ording to the
contract, we have to pay apensation of three times the sale price. That’s an estimation of around
200 million! If we can’t pay, thepany will have to dere bankruptcy. Then, the person responsible
would be… would be jailed!”
Jojo finally realized the severity of the situation. Panicking openly now, she stuttered, “I-Is this for real?
The person responsible… is Sasha, right?”
Julian queried, “What does this have to do with Miss Cunningham?”

Jojo retorted, “She is the Chairman of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, while ourpany—Wellness
Herbary—is just a subsidiary. Doesn’t that make her the person responsible?”
“What kind of bullshit are you spouting?!” Julian eximed. “While it’s true that she is the head of the
mainpany, she isn’t the one involved with the branch operations. In this, you are the person
responsible.”
Jojo scrambled to retort, “What does it have to do with me?”
“Why shouldn’t it?” Julian’s eyes widened. “Whether it’s the purchase or sales of medicinal herbs, all
transactions were signed under your name. Thepany’s authority is in your hands. You’re the one
with the ultimate say in every single transaction. If you aren’t the person responsible for it, then who
is?”
