The Spoiled Girl - Chapter 1576 Stepping In New Field
‘Did Bill really do that? Why does he keep making things worse?’
Darren thought to himself while his blood started boiling. He called Bill to give him a piece of his mind, but Bill wasn’t in the best mood as well. When Bill answered the phone, he spoke in a peeved tone. “What do you want?”
Darren sneered in response, “I think you know the answer to that question. Did you really think that was a good idea?”
Hearing no response from the other end of the line, Darren continued to rant. “What’s the use of going after those children? To top it all off, you even failed to catch them! This is such a big mess! Jacob will surely come back at us with all his might. And all because you stupidly went after his daughter!”
Bill was so ashamed that he couldn’t give a proper answer. “Uhh… I… I was just doing it for the company,” he replied in a meek, pitiful voice.
“For the company? So should I be thanking you for your stupidity?” Darren mockingly asked. He was so mad that his face started to turn red. A few seconds later, he added, “Your humiliating attempt at kidnapping is all over the news. If someone finds out that the KING Group is somehow involved in all of this, how are you going to deal with it?”
Bill felt so defeated at that moment that he just chose to remain silent. Unfortunately for him, Darren assumed that he didn’t care about what he was telling him at all. With an even fiercer tone than before, he asked, “Hey! Are you even listening? Why won’t you answer me?”
Harlan happened to hear Darren’s fit of rage. He went inside his boss’ office to check up on him.
As soon as Darren saw the smile on Harlan’s face, he hung up the phone and asked, “What’s going on?”
“I just came here to give you our recent financial report, Mr. Xu.” As soon as Harlan was finished speaking, he walked towards Darren and handed him the document. While all of this was happening, a pleasant thought popped up in Harlan’s mind. It was about how much trouble the KING Group had been in just a few months ago. But Darren’s brilliant thinking had managed to bring them back from the grave. After that, every employee in the company looked up to Darren and hoped to be as great as him someday. Harlan was no exception. As a result, he was driven to do better work, more than ever.
“All right. Just tell me how we did because I’m not in the mood to read,” Darren casually replied, but his blood was still boiling at that time.
“For now, the group’s plan of selling products at very competitive prices has been very successful. Our sales have been so high that we have the whole market in the palm of our hands. I’m very inclined to say that the KING Group has now reclaimed its former glory,” Harlan proudly exclaimed.
“Okay, thank you for telling me that. By the way, Harlan, wipe that smug look off your face.” Darren teasingly replied
“No,” Darren calmly replied while he shook his head and smiled. “I’m sure everyone here knows that a few years ago, there was a certain brand of lipstick that all the women kept talking about. Even to this day, their products are still popular. I don’t know a single lady who wouldn’t be happy if they received the products of that particular brand as a present. But in my opinion, no matter how beautiful a lipstick looks on one’s lips, nothing beats a woman’s confidence when she has an impeccable face. That’s why I intend to start with skincare products.”
“Skincare products?” everyone murmured while looking at each other. All of a sudden, they began to applaud and cheer for their company’s new business venture.
The board of directors gladly approved the plan that same day. And Darren’s brilliance was once again in the spotlight. All the employees couldn’t stop talking about how the high profits of the cosmetic industry would be good for the KING Group.
The next day, the KING Group set its plan in action. All the social media influencers who had signed a contract with them were assigned to make videos hinting that the group was in the process of making skincare products. Additionally, the PR department of the KING Group searched far and wide for a beauty blogger that best fit their agenda.
This was a brand new playing field for the KING Group but everyone seemed to know just what to do. Darren’s great leadership up to this point gave them the confidence and determination needed to be successful.
Meanwhile, Darren ordered the HR department to find new recruits to work on their new products. The salary they were offering for these positions was higher than any of their competitors. As a result, there was a river of applicants submitting their resumes.
Even though Darren was the CEO, he handpicked the recruits that stood out to him. He didn’t care if the person was a top university graduate or not, he just wanted them to be knowledgeable in skincare products.
