Chapter 32
The Maybach cruised downtown and pulled up in front of a building after an hour. This place used to be a hospital, but now the sign was gone, the hospital was closed and empty, and a curtain had been put up around it for redecoration.
Lea followed Alfred into the building and took the elevator upstairs.
Alfred told her, “This private hospital has been crowded out by Fraley Medical for the past few years. It has been losing money and is filing for bankruptcy and liquidation. I bought it over
Lea nodded:
Nixon ran Fraley Medical aggressively. i had gained so much strength after it had the technical support of the artificial brain that it had opened a chain of hospitals across the country, expanding its scale to dozens or hundreds of times. In Vaporleon, in crowded out all the other hospitals and monopolized the market. Even Andrews Medical, with its powerful background, could not survive
The elevator came to the eighth floor.
The building had been cleared out and was waiting to be redecorated. The door to one of the offices was open, and a young woman in a professional suit with a pretty face greeted them. “Mr. Andrews, Miss Berry”
“Chris Foster, she works for me. Alfred introduced her to Lea.
“Miss Berry, this is my resume,” she said, handing over her resume.
Lea took it and looked at it. Chris Foster, twenty–four, graduated from Wharton Business School with a master’s degree a year ago. However, she worked for Alfred at the age of twenty, had worked in several foreign companies ranked in the world’s top 100, and was a professional manager
The resume Lea received was simplified, showing only the information Chris was willing to share and hiding many career achievements.
“She used to work with me and is very capable. I’m going to let her help you, provided you agree,” Alfred said
“Of course, I agree. I’ll even beg you for her!” said Lea. She trusted his people and was willing to use them. Talents like Chris could not be found everywhere, and she needed her badly.
Thank you, Miss Berry You’ll be my boss from now on!” said Chris
“You’re welcome. It’ll be hard on you,” said Lea.
Chris had an excellent impression of her new boss because Lea had the common touch and trusted her for Alfred’s sake.
“Miss Berry, please take a look at the company’s information first Chris said. She walked to the table, pulled out chairs for them to sit, opened the vault, and took out the things inside. There were the company’s license, constitution, official seal, and other important documents and objects. After doing so, she went about her business.
Lea sat in front of the desk and checked them one by one.
The company was called Riverview SmartMed, with a registered capital of 2 billion dollars. In addition to this hospital, it also included Andrews Medical and Vaporleon Hospital, two of this continent’s biggest pharmaceutical manufacturing companies
Lea looked at Alfred in surprise. “You invested so much money!”
He had an excuse prepared long ago. “Dr. Wessen has done an assessment. The value created by just those few medicines you’re offering now is incalculable once they enter the market.”
Alfred Jeaned in closer to Lea, his breath tickling her neck as he spoke teasingly. “Yours will be mine in the future. I may not have much to offer, but money is never an issue for me. How much investment do you want from me in the future? Feel free to let me know.
Lea turned her head to look at him, and her clear eyes had inquiry and admiration in them.
“He hasn’t joined the Andrews Group yet, and the money could not have come from the Andrews family. In fact, after two lifetimes, I still don’t know what his business is, only that he’s mighty and loaded. But wealth is our bargaining chip and weapon and is also all hard–won. I will never wave a single dire, she thought.
She gave him a confident look. “Don’t worry, I’ll make you a fortune!”
ne the world’s richest man. In this life, she was only nineteen years old and
Those scientific achievements in her previous life helped Milton become i had better prospects for doing better.
A short while later, Chris came back and explained to her again, “Miss Berry, you take fly–one percent of the shares in the company. Mr. Andrews takes forty–nine percent, and your part of the investment includes two billion dollars in cash and the patents of several medicines. Mr. Andrews doesn’t show up much in the outside world, so the portion of the equity he holds is held in trust for a foreign company, and the information that

the outside world can find out can’t be traced back to him. Considering that you are still a student, your shareholder information has also been kept confidential for now.”
This was what Alfred asked for, mainly because of her current s
situation in the Berry family
Lea turned to Alfred and asked, “You did not sell all my shares!” |||
“The shares of Berry Group are useful to you. I’ve kept half of them for you,” answered Alfred, “But just now, I’ve asked Eddie to sell them all and repurchase them when the price drops to its lowest.”
He artificially inflated the stock price before. After he sold his shares, the stock price would gradually return to its original level. Meanwhile, news of Helen’s arrest for a school murder had already spread on the internet. As a result, the stock price was expected to plummet.
Lea didn’t care much about any of this, but she knew that by selling high and buying low, this little bit of her shares would soon be doubled, and she would still make a profit
She left the company to Chris to run.
This building served as their headquarters in Vaporicon City, and Chris was responsible for the re–planning, renovation, and re–opening,
Lea recommended Lorrand to Chris and asked her to arrange for him to work at the hospital. Lorrand was an excellent doctor and was able to utilize his talents here and help her even more fully
“Let’s celebrate the establishment of the company. Let me treat you to dinner! Lea said happily.
This was her foundation, her starting point, with which she was going to slowly grow stronger and fulfill her great cause of revenge.
Alfred nodded.
“I can’t go. Emergency, sorry. Miss Berry. Enjoy your dinner with Mr. Andrews,” said Chris
Tve worked for Alfred for ages and never seen him look at any woman like that. Now, he’s suddenly dropping a ton of cash on this woman and even transferred me back to help. It’s obvious she’s a big deal to him, thought Chris. As a clever woman, she didn’t want to be the extra one at dinner.
Lea was a bit disappointed. Then I’ll treat you some other day”
“Okay, Miss Berry,” said Chris.
Lea went downstairs with Alfred and asked, “What do you want to eat?”
Alfred paused. “Let’s have Nastalian cuisine”
