My gaze traveled beyond the car window, catching sight of the skyscraper housing Medsafe Liyah Inc. from a distance.
This skyscraper, a landmark in the Goldenvale Town's business district, stood proud and tall in Century Square. Several large-scale companies were housed in this building, with Medsafe Liyah Inc. currently occupying three floors.
Choosing this location initially took a good deal of effort. Century Square had only just been developed, and it was somewhat on the outskirts of Goldenvale Town.
What I had my eyes on were the building's amenities. There were over a dozen large and small multifunctional meeting rooms, perfect for all sorts of cocktail parties, product launches, business negotiations, and corporate gatherings. No need to hunt for other venues!
In our line of business, we frequently hold these kinds of corporate gatherings and product launches. If we had to find a venue each time, not only would it be physically exhausting, but also a significant drain on our resources, increasing our costs invisibly. However, the overall rent here was a bit steep.
At that time, Addrion and I had visited many places and had multiple discussions, but none were as ideal as this location. Despite being a bit off-center, it was conveniently accessible and still developing, brimming with potential.
Back then, we didn't have as much business and only rented one floor.
Later, we did some calculations. Although the rent was higher, we would save a lot on other services. Addrion and I agreed, gritted our teeth, and signed the contract.
After paying the rent, we were financially tight!
That was the first time Jaylan and I had a disagreement. He said I was too rash, neglecting our family and potentially plunging us into financial difficulties.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but the reverse is challenging. Of course, he didn't want to return to the old days. I entirely understood his viewpoint, so I tried to persuade him for several days, but he remained downcast for a long time.
When the Dawsons found out, they frowned upon me, accusing me of being wasteful and overly ambitious. That's when the rift between Hazel and me began.
But a year later, we didn't plunge our family into hardship. Addrion and I took a leap of faith and rented the second floor, solidifying Medsafe Liyah Inc.'s foothold in Goldenvale Town. The third floor was Jaylan's achievement.
