Chapter 1853


    “Technique is the first step of production, so ourpany will be split seventy-thirty, with you holding


    majority stakes. You shall hold the position of CEO while I''ll be the executive general manager. The


    company will be registered under your name. That is the best offer I cane up with as a gesture of


    sincerity.”


    Elektra came to Roxanne with the mindset of an entrepreneur pitching her idea.


    She had even done her homework and could provide in-depth exnations pertaining to market


    analysis, product pricing, and brand building.


    What she disyed was a fervent passion for the product.


    To her, the best person to go into business with was Roxanne. Roxanne''s research institute could


    uncover theposition of herbalpounds, which was the aspect their fellow countrymen trusted


    the most.


    She even knew that Roxanne had developed a drug for endocrine regtion, which also happened to


    have a convenient side effect of reducing e.


    Atst, after careful consideration, Roxanne deemed the investment feasible.


    “I must conduct a meeting with my colleagues at the research institute about this investment


    opportunity. Forgive me for not being able to agree immediately.”


    Roxanne could have made that decision on her own, but she just came up with a pretext. Although the


    staff at the research institute trusted herpletely, she wanted to get Lucian''s opinion as his business


    experience far exceeded hers.


    In fact, Roxanne could even form a partnership with Farwell Group. It would eliminate the need to


    approach Elektra.


    However, it would be a betrayal of Elektra''s trust since she was the one who proposed this idea.


    Elektra nodded, suppressing the panic within her. “Sure. Many people''s interests are at stake, after all.


    Take a couple of days to think about it before getting back to me.”


    After that, Roxanne discussed some of the details with her.


    Elektra handled them all with ease. She hade well-prepared.


    At that moment, she even felt her loyalty swaying.


    Although Christina had given her the n with the intention of seeking revenge on Roxanne, the


    opportunity the investment held was too promising. The Lane family''s standing could be raised


    significantly if she seeded. She, on the other hand, would be somebody who had


    aplished something.


    Two hourster, Elektra left the Farwell residence. She did not even bid Lucian farewell.


    Returning upstairs, Roxanne urged the children to shower and tuck themselves in.


    “You two were talking for a long time. Seems like it was something really important, wasn''t it?” Lucian


    was curious.


    Roxanne was still in disbelief that Elektra woulde to her to talk about a partnership.


    Madilyn once warned me that Elektra''s a childhood friend of Lucian''s. In fact, Elektra wanted to go with


    him alone on the mission to help Nichs had he not dragged me along. What''s going on in her head?


    Could I be overthinking? Does she seriously intend to make something of herself?


    After mulling it over for a long time and realizing that Lucian was waiting for her response, Roxanne


    recounted the discussion regarding the investment opportunity.


    Lucian listened with rapt attention. His eyes were filled with approval.


    “It''s a solid idea. I have considered this once, but I was worried it might mean more work for you. Now


    that Elektra is willing to handle the operations, it seems like a promising investment opportunity.”


    As long as Roxanne was the one in control, Lucian did not see the need topete for the business.

    That was also a significant factor in how he managed to secure partnerships with many influential


    families for Farwell Group.


    “Are you saying that it''s doable? Just as well. I have priced the products very low, so the research


    institute''s profit margin is quite poor. I''ve always felt bad about not being able to offer better perks to the


    R&D staff. But with cosmeceutical products, we have a chance to make a difference. If we can build a


    brand and capture some of the market shares from the luxury Epean brands, we could set up more


    factories domestically and create more jobs.”


    There was a twinkle in Lucian''s eyes as he listened to Roxanne. His admiration for her grew even


    more.


    Her ability to think things through and anticipate potential oues has been improving.
