“…So, that's pretty much it.”
“Tsk,” Corley narrowed his eyes, his tone laced with a hint of danger, “This Babur guy never learns…”
Roseanne: “What?”
“Nothing. How’s the lab coming along?”
She pursed her lips lightly.
Corley: “Running into trouble? Spill it, maybe there’s something I can do to help.”
That’s exactly what Roseanne was hoping to hear.
“Yes!”
There had to be!
Absolutely!
Two minutes later—
“…So, your trouble is that you’re short-staffed? Looking to borrow some of my guys?” And we’re talking about regular construction workers?
Roseanne straightened up: “Is that a problem?”
Corley shook his head: “No problem at all.”
“Then your expression just now…”
Corley: “Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, what do you think the sledgehammer would feel like?”
Roseanne: “…”
“You need people, right? Would 30 be enough? Or… 40?”
Roseanne and Halley exchanged glances.
Is this what it’s like in the world of the ultra-rich?
Especially Halley, his eyes gleamed, practically drooling.
He took back what he said about “jerks.”
Some “jerks” aren’t just CEOs but can also casually offer up dozens of workers!
This was seriously impressive.
