His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1275

Thompson also spoke bluntly, “You’re not a professional, so you might not understand. The experiment may not sound complicated, but it requires excellent skills. Besides, even an ordinary product requires multiple experiences to succeed. Of course, an opportunistic businessman like you would not understand how hard it is.”

The one who spoke to Thompson before this was Mike Corden. Mike was wearing his business suit as he lounged on the sofa with a cigar.

After listening to Thompson, he narrowed his eyes, held up his cigar, and tapped off its ash. “If I remember correctly, Professor Thompson, you told us that La Beauté Group has withdrawn their funding.

“Without opportunistic businessmen like me, you won’t be able to continue your experiment, no matter how great it is!”

He was undiplomatic, knowing that without La Beauté Group, the project would not have the money to continue unless they could find a new funding source. Moreover, they did not want the experiment to stop.

“You—” Faced with such an insult, Thompson lost his temper.

“Enough,” said a man in an executive chair with his back to them. His low voice sounded somewhat husky and odd. “We’re here because we share the same goal. What’s the point of quarreling over such a trivial matter?”

“Mr. Corden, we need your funding, but don’t forget that you’re the one who came to us and asked to collaborate! Also, you’re not doing charity. You have your needs, and we have ours. We’re on the same boat!”

Mike raised his brow but did not retort.

As Thompson glared at him, he heard his name mentioned. “Mr. Corden is right, Professor Thompson. The experiment has gone on for so long with so much money. We even poured in more workforce, yet you’re telling me we haven’t succeeded yet?”
