"Roxanna, a job application from abroad has arrived. It's on your desk."
Roxanna was still engrossed in her work even though it was late into the night. She glanced at the document that had been placed beside her, gave a slight nod, and remained silent.
The assistant checked the time and hesitated for a moment while she observed Roxanna's diligent demeanor. Eventually, she chose not to disturb Roxanna further and quietly exited the room.
Roxanna studied the document in her hand. It was sent by Chloe, detailing the medical base's need for new researchers.
Chloe planned to attract domestic talent currently working abroad. It was undoubtedly a venture that would require substantial funding.
Roxanna frowned slightly at the document. Indeed, funding was a significant hurdle.
Both domestic and international medical bases were at a crucial juncture, and they would soon need financial support. If this were the case, the medical base could potentially face bankruptcy.
Roxanna ran her fingers through her hair in frustration, leaving it in disarray.
The funding from the Quill Corporation's partnership would take some time before it would arrive, which wouldn't alleviate their current immediate financial crisis.
Yet, if they implemented the plan even a moment later, several projects would be stalled. As a result, it could potentially lead to delays and ultimately cause a chain disruption.
Either way, the situation was far from ideal.
This predicament left Roxanna feeling overwhelmed. If it were the medical base of the past, they wouldn't be even the least bit concerned about a shortage of staff. Nonetheless, she also couldn't possibly compare the two since they were starting from scratch.
"Roxanna."
The assistant, seemingly having thought of something, abruptly returned. She entered the office just in time to see Roxanna looking troubled and decided to voice her concerns.
"What's wrong?" Roxanna inquired as she suppressed her previous frustration. It wouldn't be good to take out her frustrations on her staff.
Alas, the assistant still noticed Roxanna's stiff expression. The worries on Roxanna's face were still evident despite her best efforts to conceal it.
"I've been managing our medical base's financial affairs recently. Although the income and expenses can balance and maintain the base's normal operation, if there are any complications during this period, we might not be able to..."
The assistant's words echoed Roxanna's thoughts, but she was also at a loss for a solution.
