Chapter 44
They Aren’t Working
“No need. I just want to walk around.”
Paige looked at the floor layout map in the elevator and casually pressed the button to the 2nd floor She wanted to
check the research and development department
Early in the morning, there were not many people coming to work in the research department. Those who came
were playing with their cell phones or taking a nap, and they didn’t seem to be working.
When the receptionist appeared with Paige, she deliberately knocked on the door.
But when the people from the research and development department saw that she had brought a girl who looked
like a high school student, they thought that Paige was a family member of their colleagues and
didn’t take it seriously
“Karley, you brought one of your families to work today. Right?”
A slightly plump woman smiled and said, “Come and play with me.
The receptionist was Karley Merton. Karley hurriedly used her eyes to hint at the woman not to speak
nonsense.
“What’s wrong with your eyes?”
The woman didn’t notice anything, but Paige walked over and found that the woman was playing cards on
the computer.
The woman was stunned. She didn’t expect Paige would be better than her in this game.
“9 of *should be the first.”
When the woman heard this, she subconsciously used the mouse to click on the card.
“6 of hearts.
3 of diamonds.
*5 of *.”
Under Paige’s instructions, not long after, the woman turned the tide.
“Wow, you are so awesome. How old are you?”
The woman patted Paige on the shoulder. “Help me win two more rounds. OK? I will give you several dollars
to buy candy.”
“This is Ms. Tate, the head of the company sent by headquarters.”

The woman looked at the girl in front of her who looked like a high school student, and she was so stunned
that her mo*th was wide open.
What?
The person in charge of the company sent by the headquarters?
Paige seemed to be a girl who hadn’t graduated from high school.
The woman thought that Paige might be some higher-ups’ mistress. And some thought that they suffer if Paige was
the head of the company.
would
It was obvious that others were also puzzled by Paige’s age. They didn’t believe that a girl like Paige could
manage a company.
“You should improve your playing style because it is impossible for you to win in a short time.”
“Work hard and earn more money. Paige patted the woman on the shoulder.
Just as Paige was about to leave the research department, she noticed a girl in the corner wearing earphones and
drawing something on a piece of wh*te paper.
She walked over and saw the girl drawing a small dress with a pen. The dress looked ordinary, but a thick stack of
drawings next to it was enough to prove the girl’s diligence
“This is the company’s most hard-working designer, Mariela Robins,” when Karley said this, she reached out and
gently touched Mariela’s shoulder
Mariela took off her earphones and looked at the two unexpected guests in front of her. She was a little puzzled, but
she still asked politely, “What’s the matter?”
The office was too noisy just now. She was wearing headphones and drawing a draft, so she didn’t know
what happened.
“This is Ms. Tate, the person in charge of our company. Hurry up and say hello,” Karley whispered.
Mariela looked at Paige and immediately stood up. She timidly and respectfully said, “Good morning, Ms.
Tate.”
“Did you design all these?” Paige’s eyes fell on a stack of drawings.
“Yes. “Mariela hurriedly showed the drawings to Paige.
“Mariela finished her education at university at the age of 18. She is a top student in the school. She loves fashion
design. Last month, when she just came, she designed a lot of work for the company.”
“Pretty good. Keep up with your good work.” Paige returned the drawing to Mariela.
“Thank you. “Mariela looked at Paige’s leaving figure with expectations. She didn’t expect that Paige would be about
the same age as her and had become the head of the company. She thought that Paige must be
very strong.
After walking around the company, Paige found that the overall atmosphere was very undisciplined. Everyone
who worked in Paige’s companies was not as undisciplined as the staff here.
This place was declining to the extreme. People who were working here didn’t want to work at all.
When Paige returned to the office and just sat on the office chair, Deon Hampson rushed in. Deon was assigned to
be Paige’s assistant.
“Sorry, I am late. Well. Where is the person in charge of the company? Didn’t she come today? Excuse me. Have
you seen the person in charge of the company? Get up quickly, that person should arrive soon. You
can’t sit here.”
Deon said a bu*ch of things. He started to pay attention to the girl in front of him. Paige raised her eyebrows. Her
casual and killing aura immediately made Deon’s scalp numb.
“You. You can’t be.”
“Paige Tate.”
“Ms. Tate. Deon hurriedly went forward and was scared out of his wits.
After listening to his stuttering explanation, Paige roughly understood that the slowest developing business. of the
Lusk family was the medical business. Among these, medical research and development had the least
results
Deon had been in the company for 4 years. There was no successful research and development of any projects
here. The talented people had all left, and the people who stayed here were willing to do nothing.
The headquarters had half given up on this subsidiary and let it go. The staff here had no one to control them, so
the overall atmosphere wasn’t good.
“Let’s hold a meeting in half an hour I want to see every department’s head and deputy managers as well as
all the company’s managing staff.”
“Yes…” Deon hurriedly sent a notice to the chatting group.
Half an hour later.
In the conference room, only eleven people arrived. There were still 27 empty chairs.
“Ms. Tate. The head of the finance department said that her child was si*k today. She wanted to take a leave
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
of absence to send her child to the hospital. The deputy head of the department says that he isn’t feeling well
and is resting at home.
“The head of the purchasing department said..”
Before Deon finished speaking, he was interrupted by Paige. Tell them that if they don’t come tomorrow, they
will be fired.”
When the people who came to the meeting heard her big tone, they thought that Paige was a new official and
deliberately came to establish her prestige.
“Since I came here, it means that you have to say goodbye to the laziness of the past. Or, you’ll say goodbye to the
company
Everyone looked up at the same time. They didn’t know that Paige was much stricter in managing her own
company than this. If there were employees who were willing to do nothing, she would have already fired
them.
“Now, who will tell me the current research and development direction of the company, as well as the
advanced achievements made?”
Paige looked at everyone.
No one came out to speak.
“I will ask again.”
Paige repeated what she had just said. But the result was still the same, and no one answered.
The answer was obvious. The company didn’t have any research and development direction and hadn’t
achieved any high-end results.
Just then, a newcomer stood up.
“Ms. Tate”
Henry Gardner, the head of the design department, stood up. “We also hope that the company will grow stronger,
but we don’t know where the problem lies. Each department is well matched, but the company just
stops.”
“What?”
“Also, I think all the things designed by our department are very good, but the products are not well-received by
customers. I wondered why.
Paige was puzzled.
“For example, last month, Mariela of our department drew 10 summer dresses. We had a special meeting to
discuss them. The style was good, and the product looked very good, but no one showed any interest in it. There is
no problem with our aesthetics. If you don’t believe me, I will show it to you.”
