Daphne was not interested. She smiled, "No matter what, you're still a boss, you have more time than us."
On the contrary, Rita became excited as she spoke. She grabbed Daphne's arm and grumbled, "Daphne, when you're running a business, you will be on-call for 24/7. You will have no time to rest as you need to keep working."
"If you're really tired, you should switch into another job," Daphne suggested.
Rita continued, "I have thought of switching jobs. But, my husband and I had been working hard for five years, and we have managed to achieve something so far. All our little achievements would go down the drain if we decided to switch now."
Upon hearing this, Daphne couldn't help but frown. She couldn't figure out what Rita was trying to say. Was her former classmates just trying to chitchat?
She paused for a moment and questioned. "Rita, what are you trying to say?"
When Rita heard this, her face fell.
After sighing, she said, "Daphne, I shouldn't have
come to you. But I have no choice-"
Daphne's heart skipped a beat. She asked nervously, "Rita, tell me. As long as it is not beyond my abilities, I will help."
"Ah, there is a problem." Rita sighed. "My husband and I run a small company which provides raw medical materials."
"A few months ago, when our company received a business deal, a problem came up. Now the whole business is stuck." Rita sighed.
When Daphne heard her, she said in a hurry, "How much money do you need? I have some savings. You can use it for an emergency."
Daphne rummaged around her bag for her bank card.
However, Rita stopped her and shook her head. "Daphne, it can't be solved with mere money."
"Are you in a huge debt? Or is it something else?" Daphne asked nervously.
Rita shook her head again, and she went on, "Daphne, we've known each other for a long time. I'll tell you everything."
Daphne nodded, "Tell me. We can think of a solution together."
"Daphne, you are the best." Rita was grateful, "You know that Alstom Antibiotic was facing a shortage all over the country. Many hospitals were buying the antibiotic in bulk. Since the demand exceeds the supply, the price for the antibiotic surged."
"At that time, a pharmaceutical company ordered Alstom Antibiotic from us." Rita explained, "They offered a good price, and the shortage of stocks was not as serious. Thus, my husband and I took on the order and prepared to bring in the antibiotics for resale. We thought that we could earn some agent fees from this."
