    Chapter 1583 Too Idealistic


    Roxanne was still thinking about the matter with medicinal herbs even after she got in the car, so she


    didn''t hear Lucian''s question.


    Only when the car engine started did she regain her senses. “Where are we going?”


    Lucian replied, “I don''t know what you want to eat, so I''ll choose some random ce for us.”


    Roxanne nodded, as she was in no mood to think about this.


    Soon, the car stopped next to a restaurant entrance.


    Lucian got out of the car and opened the door for Roxanne. She was still in a daze, consumed by her


    worries. Her thoughts were clearly written on her face.


    Seeing that, Lucian drew his brows together worriedly. He suppressed his worry for her and brought


    her into the restaurant.


    The meal ended on an unappetizing note, as Roxanne had a poor appetite. She was gued with


    anxiety, so she couldn''t really taste the food.


    She was done with her meal quickly, but at Lucian''s insistence, she ate a few more mouthfuls.


    “Is the coboration with Damaris Group not going well?” Lucian asked after they finished their meal


    and got back into the car.


    Roxanne froze for a few seconds. She didn''t know whether she should tell him about the specifics of it,


    as she wanted to resolve this matter by herself.


    However, she didn''t mind relying on him if it was thest resort.


    Do I really have no other choice now?

    As she was still hesitating, Lucian responded, “Jack didn''t ept your pricing and the negotiation


    failed. Now the Damaris family is rejecting to coborate with you.”


    He sounded confident as if he had already investigated this matter.


    Roxanne was surprised. “How do you know about this?”


    Lucian replied, “There are only a few scenarios of how the coboration between Jack and you will turn


    out. I have been a businessman for so long, so I could already tell what happened from your


    expression.”


    A look of dejection shed across Roxanne''s face. Lucian continued, “If it''s me, I won''t ept your


    pricing either.”


    “Is it really that low? However, if I set the price higher...”


    Lucian did not attempt to console her as he always had previously. Instead, he simply stated, “To a


    businessman, if the profits are too low and it takes a long time to see any decent returns, it''s not a wise


    investment.”


    Roxanne frowned. “But we should always consider patients first since we are in the medical industry,


    shouldn''t we?” She lowered her head as she was filled with self-doubt. “Or am I thinking too much into


    this? Am I being too idealistic?”


    However, she didn''t mind relying on him if it was thest resort.


    Lucian gazed at her with a grim expression and didn''t say anything.


    She was indeed too idealistic, especially when it came to business matters.


    When she threw herself into a business battle, she didn''t think of herself as a businesswoman but


    simply as a person from the medical industry.


    It was impossible for her to win against Jack.


    However, she could still maintain her ideals since Lucian was on her side.


    “But some of my experienced employees in the research institute are also on my side when we had a


    meeting just now.”


    Roxanne looked at him hopefully as she wanted to get his affirmation.


    Lucian replied, “As someone from the medical industry, there''s nothing wrong with your method. In fact,


    it''s very noble.”


    In other words, she was stillcking in business negotiations.


    Roxanne had been facing countless setbacks recently. Self-doubt filled her heart now that Lucian was


    also criticizing her too.


    She couldn''t help but ask, “What will you do in my situation? Will you raise the price just as Jack


    wanted?”
