Chapter 1608 Sign The Contract
“So... Jonathan, why are you here? Have you found other medicinal herb suppliers that we can work with?”
After a brief moment of hesitation, Roxanne decided to change the way she addressed Jonathan.
The smile on Jonathan's face grew wider as he nodded and replied, “Most of the medicinal herbs suppliers have readily agreed to collaborate with the research institute, all thanks to the hard work you have poured into establishing a good reputation for it.”
Hearing that, Roxanne turned to look at Lucian before looking back at Jonathan.
As she had only been with the research institute for a short period of time, she knew that the suppliers had agreed to work with them partly because it was Jonathan who had asked them and partly because he had mentioned Farwell Group's name.
Lucian was holding Roxanne's hand and had his other hand on her back the entire time as if he was worried that Jonathan did not know that the woman belonged to him.
Roxanne tried her best to ignore Lucian's hand while confirming the details with Jonathan.
“How did you find those suppliers?”
The woman had spent the past few days calling every single medicinal herb supplier she knew but was unable to find any suitable ones.
With an unfathomable smile on his face, Jonathan replied, “Queen Group is considered a leader of medicinal herbs in the country. Naturally, our network is wider than yours. I mostly approached direct suppliers from the countries of origin of the herbs. For those herbs that I wasn't able to find direct suppliers, I contacted the distributors instead.”
Roxanne nodded in understanding.
“But”—Jonathan shot a glance at Lucian—” you get what you pay for. Although the herbs are guaranteed to be of superior quality, they cost a lot more as well.”
Jonathan had only gone ahead to talk to those suppliers based on Lucian's assurance that cost was not an issue.
