StarNovelChapter 2034 Public Outrage Upon seeing everything was going smoothly, Orchid gave orders to her subordinates. “Investigate all the incoming and outgoing accounts for this year and compile a list of all the technology patents related to the new medicine.” All her subordinates sprang into action immediately.
Soon, all the laboratories in the research institute stopped operating. The technical personnel cout, puzzled by everything that was happening.
Colby explained to Peregrine about the ownership structure of the research institute and that Roxanne was not the sole proprietor.
However, Peregrine retorted, “Colby, I'm not well-versed in all this professional jargon. But tellif Roxanne was responsible for establishing the research institute and subsequent research and development, as well as all the profit-making operations?” Colby kept mum and nodded in acknowledgment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDespite being a subsidiary of GK Group, the research institute did not depend on any significant financial support from its parent company. At most, it only requested a small amount of money as the initial start-up capital.
Every subsequent expansion of the business was carried out at Roxanne's risk and expense. Furthermore, she would always report each expansion plan to the board of directors to obtain their approval before executing them.
When Roxanne established Flora Verba Group, many members of the board even supported her in exploring profit-making options independently because they believed they did not have what it took to retain such a talented individual.
“Since you said Roxanne has single-handedly established the research institute, why should the parent company steal the credit? And that Ms. Downey is just being pushy.” A stern expression crossed Peregrine's face.
Since he uttered those words right outside the general manager's office, it was natural that Orchid could hear him.
As her expression darkened, she raised her brows. “I know who this Old Mr. Lomax is because my mentor toldabout him. My mentor, Harvey Lambert, built GK Group from scratch with a group of investors. Roxanne has been working under GK Group and has not left the organization. Therefore, all her business activities essentially represent the company!” “Stop beating around the bush. You have no right to take any action since Roxanne is not here yet,” Peregrine uttered in frustration while frowning.
Before Orchid could react, Peregrine waved his hand and gestured for technicians who had worked with him for years to barge into the general manager's office.
They immediately surrounded Orchid's subordinates and warned, “Put down all the materials. You're not allowed to touch anything since Ms. Jarvis is not here!” Another technician chimed in, “Yeah. | don't care which parent company you're from. In this research institute, we only listen to Roxanne Jarvis. And we'll protect all the materials and documents in the departments of finance as well research and development at all costs. Let's report these people to the cops first. They're acting like bandits, grabbing things without our permission. It's outrageous!” The sudden public outrage left Orchid and her subordinates stunned. They beceven more petrified when more and more of Peregrine's men flocked into the office.
Everyone turned their attention to Orchid, eagerly waiting for her instruction.
Initially, Colby wanted to wait for Lucian to intervene once Roxanne becaware of the situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe believed they would be able to stop Orchid, a new member of the senior management team who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
He was taken aback when Peregrine demonstrated his influence on the spot. He truly deserves all the respect in the world! Giving in to Peregrine's pressure, Orchid’s subordinates quickly returned the documents they had opened. Sof them who were trying to copy information in their external hard drives also had their devices snatched away.
Peregrine walked up to Orchid and said indifferently, “I'm sorry. You cannot touch anything until Roxanne arrives.
If you persist, I'll ensure you and the thirty to forty men you brought here won't be able to leave the research institute!” Orchid was completely struck dumb.
She did not think that Roxanne's subordinates would dare to interfere with the headquarters' arrangements. It doesn't seem to fit with Roxanne's management style.
Three years ago, Roxanne also led a highly professional research institute in Epea. At that time, there was no obstruction when the headquarters wanted to regain full control of the research institute.
